Yesterday someone asked for me to pay them in Bitcoin rather than PayPal/CashApp.

I'm kind of at a loss for how to do this...

If you had said this 6 years ago I would have laughed, now I'm just sad at how bastardized this project has become. You know you can just... use a bitcoin wallet and do an on-chain transfer?

As a Canadian, there's basically no fast and _safe_ way to turn _serious_ amounts CAD into BTC without using a large exchange.

Given the choice, I would immediately choose the option where I can pay in CAD and not BTC.

You can send, receive and even buy Bitcoin with fiat with CashApp after you go through their KYC procedures within the app. [1] https://cash.app/bitcoin
