Any that you know of what accept Crypto or PayPal?

Do I remember correct that you like to use the bitcoin to buy pizza?
 
Nope. That wasn't me, that was the first known BTC transaction. 10k BTC for two large pizzas (I think).
Ahh, might have been you who spoke about it - For some reason remember your name associated to it.

Sorry about that :)
 
Crypto, maybe. Paypal, very unlikely. The transactions fees for Paypal are higher than most shops' margins, and it's a breach of their T & C's to add an additional cost if using their gateway

It's possible. I found a reference to it:

The first Bitcoin real-world transaction occurred on May 22, 2010, a date known to Bitcoin enthusiasts as Bitcoin Pizza Day. Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC to have two Papa Johns pizzas delivered to him. The pizzas retailed for about $25. At the peak of Bitcoin's pricing in 2021, the two pizzas would have been worth $630 million.
