I rarely have people ask to pay with Crypto.
And if they do, I say we don't take Crypto, and most of the time they end up paying in fiat anyway.
The vast majority of transactions online are made with fiat, I haven't Googled it but I'd guess 99% of transactions online are made with fiat.

I can see this number increasing in future only. If something bad happens to crypto, then only traditional payment methods can make comeback.

There's a lot more adoption for sure. Especially since politics have changed, crypto no longer a bogeyman

But government does not give guarantee on value of crypto. They are supporting it as long as the market is shining.

Crypto is now more popular than it used to be couple of years ago, but it's still nowhere near as popular as Paypal talk more of being more popular.
Don't replace Paypal with crypto unless you live in a country where you have issues with creating a paypal account.

You're a bit wrong here. Accepting crypto payment isn't done manually nowadays.
There is stable coins like USDT and USDC. Let alone the huge embrace of BTC and LTC as payment methods.
Accepting crypto isn't related to market anymore. Some payment gateways now offer auto-convert to USDT, even some of them offer auto fiat withdrawal to your bank
It's highly evolving. but as stated above by other members. it depends on the market. If it's not digital product. I don't expect it to be sold with crypto.
There was an article I read about namecheap handling over 1.1 million Bitcoin transactions which is worth over 80 million in USD.
So it's definitely there for digital products. Not yet for physical.

Honestly, from what I've seen lately—especially in online business and freelancing circles—crypto is definitely gaining ground over PayPal. A lot of people (myself included) have shifted to using stablecoins like USDT or USDC because they’re faster, have fewer restrictions, and you avoid the sudden account freezes or high fees PayPal is known for.
That said, I wouldn’t say crypto has fully replaced PayPal yet. PayPal is still super common for traditional e-commerce sites and among people who aren’t that into crypto. But in more niche or international communities (like devs, digital marketers, or freelancers in certain countries), crypto is starting to feel like the preferred option.

At least we're not seeing all those lawsuits and SEC regulation anymore
