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...
