Paypal can also close your account at the drop of a hat, and has a very nice long list of things you can't do with your money when it's connected to paypal (a list of things which will get your account close and your money confiscated in some areas).

You can also throw stupendous quantities of cryptocurrency in the bin accidentally. So there's that.

In which country do cryptocurrencies not work in? They work in every country in the world. They are used a lot in Venezuela for example.
