PayPal automatically tied a Social Security Number to by account without my permission, so I'm looking for other options.

Ciao dear @cahlen - great questions... I use Paypal, but am not comfortable with various aspects, and am correcting my status to 'retain my full rights' and correct my relationship with multiple agencies.
But yes, I too will be leaving any and all structures that impede my freedom and privacy, as I've never stepped fully into any of the contracts that presume consent to slavery, etc.
I'm very interested in the discussion around what the corrected relationship might look like with organisations of every kind - and whether or not we can inspire/ co-create change in the systems, until better systems are evolved. And like you, I would not appreciate to be limited to using only crypto as Gift, BUT yes, if the Right Way insists on this, then I will be doing the Right action always!
My bridging platform for crypto to fiat is Wirex... It seems solid so far, but I have not depended on it for essentials: it's more of a side-experiment, until it becomes more necessary. It is daunting to step out of conveniences, but each and every step reveals the correct path, and this is heartening and stabilising.
A friend informed me that TransferWise - now just Wise - financial platform has some caviat in their contract that pledges to not be a party to slavery; this is interesting; there MUST be ethical financial folks out there, to fill this great chasm where all of us lucid living women and living men are seeking correct, natural law ways to share coin!
Being in Italy, there are all kinds of presumptions by govern-mente around all folks on the land submitting to intrusions into our privacy, theft of money through utility bills, etc - I'm methodically removing myself from this by making a name change, and correcting my 'status' through my 'birth' country. It is a complex web, eh! I love that we can share insight with each other, and look forward very much to hearing how you progress. All power to you.
It is a complex web! I'm leaning towards just dropping PayPal and not replacing it with anything since the alternatives all want IDs and addresses which I don't have. Guess I'll just keep making it more challenging for myself, which is actually kind of fun.
It is fun, indeed! The complexity seems always to be that which has been placed between us and the Truth - whilst the Truth is so straightforward and Right... I'm moving towards making my own 'documentation', as it feels like the Right and logical step, having clarified with the 'authorities' that I am not under their jurisdiction, and so am autonomously able to 'identify' my Self. :-D It's a beautiful, expansive creative process...
Wow! That's crazy! Big brother is watching us! Scary! I don't have any recommendations, though! Best of luck to you!
I think the plan is to put us in a corner then suffocate us. (economically speaking)
I see this unfold as follow :
Most of people bought the fraudulent idea : "cash is dirty", so it will be soon here and now most of transaction are electronic (one way or another) and you got a strange look when you pay in cash.
Through / war on terror / big brother is watching you / bullshit, or super powerful computing.
Because without encrypted tunnel, Monero traffic could be identified, then it is just a matter of disabling such traffic on main routers of the network.
Somewhere in this plan is the permanent link of your digital account to your body.
As to the solution I see tree paths :
Non is perfect, non is guarantee, non is safe.
Thus being said not sure of the timeline all this could take time.
I suspect only the third option will work in the long run, but I'm guessing that level of tyranny is several years away still. We've hopefully got time to build those groups.
I had best check my account as well.
