Addressing the cons -
For some people cryptocurrency can seem confusing and overwhelming, especially if their knowledge on the subject is zero. I've been in crypto ( BTC ) since 2013 and am amazed at how far things have come and how much simpler it has become to get involved and utilize cryptocurrency in your life. It has become as simple as signing up and registering an account at an exchange like paxful.com and following quick, guided simple instruction to get your first cryptocurrency wallet address to accept both bitcoin and ethereum payments. On that same website you can easily sell the balance in your wallet for any payment method you choose to hundreds of thousands people looking to buy your crypto. People can pay you via bank transfer, paypal f&f, cashapp, venmo, zelle, apple pay, gift cards and countless other methods you can choose from. They also have a built in escrow system that allows you to verify any payment sent to you before releasing the cryptocurrency to the buyer and you can set the terms you like beforehand.
If youre not investing in crypto then you dont need to even think about all the different crypto currencies because nearly everyone who is buying something is going to be using bitcoin or ethereum since these are the major cryptos used for buying and selling things ( unless theyre a dick trying to talk you into using another crypto and you should blow them off anyway lol )
There are small transaction fees each time someone sends a cryptocurrency transaction which vary but again this is not your problem and its common practice that the buyer absorb these fees.
When I message a big seller about accepting crypto currency and get a response like "Sorry, paypal only" it always makes me cringe because it infers a serious lack of knowledge and self preservation lol. Its one thing to be a here and there seller or to not accept something but to PREFER something that puts you at an increased risk, takes longer to setup or open and the same amount of time to have as cash in your hand it makes me wonder about your life choices
