Bitcoin is honestly more complicated then Paypal. bitcoin is somewhat shady, and i'd feel a lot more comfortable donating with paypal, not to mention the fact that a bitcoin's value is highly fluctuating. now, i haven't done my research, so if there's something about bitcoin that im missing, please inform me. but until then, i think we should go back to paypal.

I dunno if this is right, but it's the only explanation I've heard.

[20:25:48] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [Staff] Kerovon: And seeing as a large chunk of his income is from paypal.
[20:25:53] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [Staff] Kerovon: Thats not a worthwhile risk.

Yep. To TL;DR that, it messes up Intelli's money stuff to have it all in one account, and he can't have more than one because PayPal sucks. Bitcoin is less than ideal (far less IMO, as a completely unregulated experimental currency etc.), but PayPal and several US-only sites aren't an option.
