"Situation is real, but the problem is made up". You did made up that point, after all.
Once again - if you are using other currency, being it BTC, CHF, EUR, RUB or CNY, you are exposing yourself and counterparty to exchange rate fluctuations. Difference is - with BTC you have some extra possibilities.
As for PayPal - yeah, it's a breeze until it's not. I.e. until they've blocked your account because reasons. With BTC I own my money. With PayPal, PayPal owns me.
