How about transaction volume how is it doing for transaction volume?
Of course posts above are right... by most measures PayPal is much larger. Still interesting and funny.  Grin

These bitcoin/PayPal search comparisons are interesting - but not really statistically significant.  I mean, pretty much everyone already knows what PayPal is:  those who google it, or wiki it, are almost certainly doing so for a different reason than those who search on bitcoin.

I'd imagine that for PayPal searches, people are trying to find a contact number to call and complain.  Good luck with that...
This. I never bothered checking the wiki entry for PayPal.

The most significant figure to compare is how much currency is being held by PayPal vs. how much the currently held amount of BTC is worth.

Because of the above statement, I did some research on google trendwatch. Worldwide, it doesn't seem to be true yet:

On the other hand, singularity seems to be approaching in Russia:

Note: if a graph goes to zero on the far right, that's a google bug.
