Why I Rejected Stripe and PayPal for My Digital Store

Why I Rejected Stripe and PayPal for My Digital Store

After years of using traditional payment processors, I made the switch to Bitcoin.

The Problems with Traditional Payment Platforms

1. Account Freeze Risk

Stripe and PayPal can freeze your account with little notice.

2. High Transaction Fees

  • Stripe: 2.9% + $0.30
  • PayPal: 2.9% + $0.30
  • Bitcoin: ~0.1%

3. Censorship & Deplatforming

Payment processors can ban you anytime.

Why Bitcoin Wins

  1. No Censorship - Decentralized
  2. Near-Zero Fees - 97% savings
  3. Global Instant Settlement
  4. No Chargebacks
