Germany, Italy, and Israel love Paypal.

Countries with low consumer trust.

Paypal has been very annoying with their login stuff since PSD2, more so than real banks. Amazon Pay is the easiest there, though SEPA payments are kinda the easiest for the consumer. However, SEPA transactions negatively impact credit score (if the merchant asks for the score, not all do). Credit cards are just a hassle online (except thru Apple Pay) and 3dsecure always feels like phishing.
Why does Germany have low consumer trust? Like, Italy I can see. And Israel has low-scale firefights happening on an irregular but non-trivial basis.
Has anyone done a scatter plot of PayPal and crypto adoption, on one axis, and estimated cash use, on the other?
