1. PayPal are notorious, for many good reasons. Credit card companies have shown themselves up too; blocking donations to Wikileaks, for example. Then there's the decentralization factor.
2. Seriously? The time and expense of this compared to crypto is huge. Again, decentralization > single point of failure.
Being glib about real benefits and use cases is not helping the conversation here.

Also, being paid as a consultant is different thing from donations to WikiLeaks. Regarding two: The transaction cost of crypto might be lower, but carries the risk of losing the full payments as soon as some exchange decides to stop withdrawals.
