I think Paypal is the worst, they allow people to chargeback what attracts scammers.I really hope cryptocurrencies will kick paypal out of the market.They charge way to many extra money, and allow people to steal easily.

I'm sure the owners of both companies will tell you they wish to concentrate on their core businesses and are too busy right now to make something that large happen, but in principle you're right.
If they did something like that, it would blow the doors off this Bitcoin thingy and their businesses.

Paypal is a con, if you sell something on ebay, they TAX you for it. Then, PayPal TAX you when recieving the payment. Im pretty sure taxing twice is illegal?
Not if they are different taxes... in the US, eBay may charge the local Sales Tax (plus their fees). PayPal may charge some other money transmission tax (plus their own fees). Ah okay, thanks for letting me know before i make a fool of myself somewhere else on the internet

Already the Bitcoin transaction volume is approaching that of the Paypal.
I suppose that you mean the daily total bitcoin transaction volume, as provided by blockchain.info in their charts page. (equivalent to about 40 million USD/day, last time I checked)Well, it is not clear how much of that is commercial payments (BTC changing hands in return for goods or services), how much is financial (people exchanging between other currencies and bitcoin) and how much is "fake" (bitcoins being moved between addresses that belong to the same person).
I see signs that most of that volume is "fake"; which would not be surprising, given that address creation and bitcoin transfers are still free. One person could generate all that volume with a script that moved 1000 BTC between his own addresses every 20 minutes or so.
On the other hand Bitpay claims that they processed payments adding to 100 million USD in the whole of 2013; that may give a rough idea of how much bitcoin commerce is going on.

I don't believe bitpay/coinbase will "replace" any of these large companies that were listed in this thread. They will most likely co-exist. More likely than not these large companies will be adapting bitcoin or their own forms of cryptocurrency. They only way I see them getting "replaced" is if they never adapted and implemented the benefits of cryptocurrencies into their services, but from recent press interviews and statements its becoming obvious these companies realize they will need to adapt and they see a future with bitcoin or other crypto currencies being implemented into their existing services.

The Bitpay / Coinbase competition is really picking up now. Earlier Bitpay was leading with more customers than Coinbase, including some of the big names. But now, with the addition of DISH and Expedia, Coinbase has overtaken Bitpay.

"Receiving bitcoin payments is completely free on Coinbase.
If you decide to cash out your bitcoins to a bank account we charge a 1% fee — but only after your first $1,000,000 in sales.
Volume discount pricing is available if you're processing more than $1,000,000 per month."
PP is dead.We must protect our profit...........say no to rude rubbers.

OMG! This is super-cool! They are giving discounts to the retail giants, and at the same time, they are waiving fees for the smaller merchants. Are there any similar discounts for the Bitpay customers?

As i said many times before. It's great deal for sellers, but there is problem on buyers side which is "no protection". Once they get that going, they will overrun PP. As long as they dont get that, PP is in huge advantage. Why? Well simple, business is where buyers are, not the other way around.

It definetly will serve as a competition, but doubt it will kick pp and visa out.
You allways have sceptics, and rightfully , for the sole reason that bitcoin still needs to have some changes before stepping up in the market.

interesting charts about payment-fees.
Payment fees for what?
Transferring how much money, in what method, to where?
Without that information the chart is meaningless.
Transferring money from one UK bank account to another is free, so it can't mean that.

How could post office ever be free ?

Where does Western Union say free ?
Kind of curious what they meant by that
June 10, 2014, 10:24:52 AM
Western Union is pretty much on its way out.
yup, not surprising. Theres literally no reason to ever use them due to better alternatives (like bitcoin). The fees are so high its only good for extreme need of sending cash right away if you cant get your hands on bitcoins.
