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

Why 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

For websites that support it, Apple Pay is faster and safer than all of that.
Cryptocurrency? Ah come on you’re just being facetious now
Why? I’ve paid for computer equipment and plane tickets using cryptocurrency several times. Just scan a QR code and press send.
Man I’ve literally never encountered this
I’ve also encountered friends at lunch using mobile crypto wallets to split the bill. “Can I just send you some dai?”
I can tell you that if you tried that out my way you’d just a quizzical look (-:
Kinda like when someone from the U.S. mentions Venmo to a European. :)
