If there was ever a case to use Bitcoin I think this takes it!

They shot themselves in the other foot a few weeks back:

unfrozen now, but lots of bad press for such ignorant draconian behavior.

Because of big success of their service. But what goes up must go down one time

Seems like it's every other day PayPal gets a bad write up. I hate them as a company and hope everyone else sees the light!

I hear that.  I once had my identity stolen and had my PayPal account wiped, transferred to euros to some other address.  I immediately asked PayPal to help me; 2-3 days later, they said they could not detect any unusual activity going on with my account, and refused to help me any further.

Luckily the thief was stupid, and the money wound up in limbo in my previous Skype account, and Skype was able to refund me the cash before it could go anywhere.  All in all, I'll give PayPal 0/10; would not use again.
