#4Just last year Stripe wouldn't even allow any crypto business to be their customers. You could not use Stripe if you business was crypto related. A client of mine had to switch implementation to checkout.com because of that. I wonder what changed...

#5Just recently moved from Stripe to Paddle after realizing their new tax collection stuff locked out a bunch of my customers--it only supports credit card transactions, not Apple Pay or Google or any of the EU payment options, and Stripe has no ETA on fixing this. With the tax bits, I still have to file and worry about thresholds too, so I switched to Paddle. On top of completely eliminating the tax remittance crap, I also have PayPal support now (highly requested by customers, especially international).

It is not established that cryptocurrencies in general are scams. I could make my own cryptocurrency and use it for completely legitimate reasons.

#7This doesn't come as surprising since they have timed this with Biden's executive order on regulating cryptocurrencies, so this is probably why you are seeing Stripe pushing Crypto right now.
Also, all smaller cryptocurrency on ramp businesses are doomed.

#8My respect for Stripe plummeted when I reached out about a closed API and got a passive aggressive answer from support.
I don't think I've ever gotten that kind of rude sarcasm/passive aggression from a simple support inquiry, and I vowed never to use their services again.
Their competitors to this specific API were much nicer to work with and onboarded us after some basic introductions, so part of me wonders what other fronts Stripe has better but less well known competitors on.

What changed is, someone very powerful said this: "One of my incredibly big misses over the last decade was not buying enough Bitcoin. At $60k per Bitcoin, I'm still not sure if one should aggressively buy it, but surely it is telling us that we are at a crisis moment for the Fed."

Please don't start yet another instance of the same old generic flamewar on HN. The issue isn't whether you're right or wrong, it's that we've had this flamewar hundreds of times already and nothing new comes of it. That makes if off topic for this site, which is supposed to be for curiosity. Curiosity withers under repetition and fries under indignation.
