Maybe you should take a look at the hard numbers before you talk about cutting out the CC companies.

Paypal is leading the game and they are not able to cut out CC companies.

I don't see much Paypal deployment in the physical world. The only place I've ever seen the option to pay with Paypal is at Home Depot. (I didn't try it because it sounded like you had to log in with your password and second factor... which did not sound like a good use of time in the checkout line.)

Or annoyingly, donations t9 websites like Wikipedia require Paypal

Maybe it depends on the country you're in, but you can definitely use methods other than PayPal. When I donate to projects with foundations in Europe, I usually just wire the money directly to their bank account. (I'm in Germany.)

I’m confused. I pay with PayPal balance all the time.

Good for you. Question: Do credit cards still exists, outside of your bubble?
