My order is:
• iDeal (convenient Dutch banks' system)
• PayPal linked to bank account
• I've usually paid at this point
• cryptocurrency
• credit card because it's such a pain in the ass
- rusk 8y agoCryptocurrency? Ah come on you’re just being facetious now
- mbrock 8y agoWhy? I’ve paid for computer equipment and plane tickets using cryptocurrency several times. Just scan a QR code and press send.

- mbrock 8y agoKinda like when someone from the U.S. mentions Venmo to a European. :)

- walshemj 8y agoWhy is a credit card a pain in the ass you just type in your pin or use contactless and in many paces credit cards have greater protection than cash or debit card. Why trust PayPal which has nugatory regulation and is prone to freezing account's on a whim
- briandear 8y agoFor websites that support it, Apple Pay is faster and safer than all of that.
