Finally this services have completion, bitcoin is alternative that we desperately needed.

Yes look st bitcoin ! Beating PayPal's ass !! They can't be happy about that. Bitcoin is almost the same as them. Haha so much for play play magical internet money huh ? Its only time before it threatens the rest. And the rest know this. Go bitcoin go !! Viva le bitcoin !
I also find Bitcoin to be a much better way of transacting, but it's a hard fact that the average person will always give the preference to PayPal. I am sure that they find the buyer protection/acceptance to be the most important/interesting aspect of PayPal. With Bitcoin every transaction is final, so in case people get scammed, there is nothing that can be done to reverse the payment. That's where PayPal comes handy for them.
bitcoin is much more better than western union bitcoin transaction is very faster and we can send our balance in bitcoin in every where in many amount .
I care to know what the statistics are now because this post was 2 years ago (almost). I hope that Bitcoin had made a lot of progress compared to other transactions. If everyone learns how to use it, it would really be a game changer.
I still dont know why anyone would want to use Western Union anymore. Transaction fees on BTC are so low and if you dont like bitcoins, there are other online payments solutions through which you can send money to anyone across the world which are cheaper than WU.especially when they are charging 15% up to 20% fee lol it is the biggest joke , nobody will use their service with that so high fee. while in bitcoin you can do it with almost free fee, and get a very fast transaction to anywhere around the world easily.
Yes without any doubts its better than western union, with WU it sometimes take ages to get your money.. really annoying.

I have never tried Western Union so I can't judge it as you are asking for.
i personally used western union for so many time. as my friend me money from Germany using western union, but i think its service is very complicated as compare to bitcoin. therefore i will always choose bitcoin and not western union.

Well one thing is sure Western Union transactions should had decreased on the last years due to bitcoin, and some altcoins, its had been time where people had no option to send money to family were those or paypal, now bitcoin its an option, sure the price could be a wall, but atleast looks stable to use.
i think bitcoin is much more better than western union because bitcoin transaction is very much faster than western union and bitcoin bitcoin transaction fees is also too much lower and bitcoin is acceptable in anywhere nowadays because bitcoin is acceptable and available for shopping.
Yes, that's right. I usually use bitcoin to buy or transfer online. it's so useful for me.
I'm not worried about the fraud transactions or withdrawal . it's very safe and fast so Bitcoin is better than western union.

You can't compare bitcoin into paypal bitcoin is crypto currency where you can use it for investment and tradings paypal is company where this is the main payment method for online shopping. But if those company will accept bitcoin then its good. Well for me i never used western union better is far better than paypal. 
Till now many people know about western union, till now many people don't know about bitcoin yet. Even though it crossed the value of western union, in real cases bitcoin has very transaction fee when compared to western union. In coming days most of them who are living in different country can easily send their money with low fee in the form of bitcoin is possible.
Yup and western union payment online is not support for all of countries especially from Indonesia, I have contacted the support of western union about their service.The answers they could not support for my country and it is different with bitcoins that can be used on all of countries, usage of bitcoins is just needs connection of internet and we can use it.
never using western union, and i can't compare it becasue never use it.
but for me bitcoin is more simple, we can send everywhere in minute it's something special for me
I've never used it but I think it's much more complicated because you need to WU office and of course you need to fill in the data and address it very complicated, it is better to use bitcoin its more simplebut for me bitcoin is more simple, we can send everywhere in minute it's something special for me
Western union need so many data to fill and as you said that it is very complicated. I think western union proper doing like that because need specific data to avoid wrong receives. Legal personal identity is used to verification on western union.

Wu is much more difficult and it is like a bank system where u have to go to fill in the form and all other necessary stuffs .but on the other hand bitcoin is totally decentralized and it is quite easy to understand .so bitcoin is better .

Western union is fast money transfer service, I ever use it to send and receive money abroad, according to my experiences the western union is one of the fastest money transfer service, but the drawback is the need to be a valid data. Although for security reasons, sometimes with this is hassle.but for me bitcoin is more simple, we can send everywhere in minute it's something special for me
If I compare with bitcoin differ greatly, bitcoin better, fast, secure and simple. Since I know my bitcoin I never use western union to send money.
for me is yes. bitcoin better than western union, in this case more concise bitcoin. no need to affix a signature or identity, only need to put address wallet. and also lower transaction costs.
