BitPay’s Reputation
Some crypto community members view BitPay negatively after it blocked crypto donations to the Hong Kong Free Press last year. It also bounced a $100,000 donation to the Amazon rainforest fire relief fund. Time will tell if BitPay can salvage some of its reputation as it moves into the travel industry.
