Paypal is the same as UBER, VISA, MasterCard, all of which are centralized, so when there are problems in transactions or system errors we can submit it to the head office.

Bitcoin is not like that, it stands alone, Bitcoin is the right to own the owner, it is not centralized and when there is a delivery error, it is the risk that the owner of Bitcoin carries.

Paypal is owned by one person, or one company in a centralized way, so there is a possibility of manipulation in processing its finances. Like there is theft of funds from insiders or rivals from Paypal itself.

Bitcoin is not like Paypal and is a lot different, ownership of the Bitcoin is owned by the owner, if you send the wrong Bitcoin to someone else's wallet, then the risk is yours.

I think so, fewer commissions and less regulated. PayPal is too strict, they trust AI to fight a fraud but honest people often take a bullet too.

I do some sideline freelance work and rely on PayPal to receive payments. And let me tell ya, they're charges and fees are a pain in the neck! I believe bitcoin or any other digital currency is by far, better than PayPal. The core features of bitcoin is security and the absence of a centralized authority, resulting in lower fees and charges. Plus, no freezing of funds or chargebacks.

Paypal and bitcoin are just a banking system the evil is in the people whos use those things...maybe you want to say that people can do bad things with paypal more than bitcoin but they still just 2 banking system


Bad people make a bitcoin issue so its price drops, I think it's just a bitcoin and paypal policy they're just banking system like you say.

now they have a very serious war! very large amounts of money pass both there and there! Of course, bitcoin has great advantages! But while bitcoin is not legalized all over the world, people do not want to invest in it and conduct their transactions through it!
yes paypal are legal and bitcoin are not, so  it makes different in number of user. There a new kind of payment like a paypal in my country and i think its big scam and for money fund purpose, i do think it boost consumtion but not really good cause they seems manipulate and makes us cant stop to buy and keep using our money, i do think its sounds good but i dont see any of usefullness for financial. I do think bitcoin is better and trustable cause no one cant control it except the market but bitcoin also has their own problem cause bitcoin is hard to be store of value cause the value is so volatile.

Paypal is the worst scum on the earth and one of the main reasons I got involved with Bitcoin.  I would say Bitcoin is less evil by a long way until our names are attached to our addresses.  Then Bitcoin is a Banker and governments widest dream come true.

As far as I know PayPal is a neutral payment system that you can use for international payments on the Amazon on the AliExpress and all the different sides along, I don't know why it is evil at your opinion.

If we consider Paypal evil (I do), should we consider Bitcoin less evil?

Paypal allows chargeback fraud and is a feast for scammers
Then again
Bitcoin doesnt allow chargebacks and is a feast for scammers because of that


I think Bitcoin, however, cant be regarded as evil cuz its decentralized or semi-decentralized(china)


what do u think fellow people of Bitcointalk?

Why you said that bitcoin is evil? A feast for scammers? will it is the scammers are evil, not the bitcoin or the cryptocurrency

I don't know what exactly you mean by "evil", however, I think bitcoin is better in many ways than Paypal. It would be even much better if it becomes more practical to use.

I can not say PayPal is purely evil. Before anyone start any financial transactions with any online platforms make sure you go through the terms and conditions of the platform. It when we go against the terms and conditions of the platform and we are blocked. That's when we see the platform as evil. Bitcoin do not have any atom of evil.

I’m a long time Paypal user until now. I am still using Paypal in receiving payments from various freelance work. However, I don’t like the fact that Paypal is centralized and could freeze your account without warning. Bitcoin is something I should prefer because its decentralized and no government or bank can control it. However, both of them are just tools. Just sayin’.

I don't think it is meaningful to discuss PayPal or Bitcoin in terms of good or evil. They are just tools. A tool is neither good or evil in itself. It can be only used to the good or evil purpose but this distinction lies in the hands of a user.

It all reminds me discussing guns or knives as evil tools. Again: it is a person who shoots somebody evil, not a gun. A gun can be used to protect you and your family, too, and this is a good purpose.

bitcoin is not at all evil. it doesn't have any brain and so i could say that bitcoin is not a eveil not a good one but its the way how we use the currency. if we use bitcoin for good cause then its fine otherwise if we use bitcoin for bad then that's our problem not bitcoin's.

I agree with you in all. I sing that in the future much more people will be using cryptocurrency, so working with it today brings you good benefit in the future.

No PayPal neither Bitcoin is evil. Just some people are. They use opportunity to steal some money or bitcoins.
This will be the same in the future when some new instruments for payment will be here.
I agree with you fellow. Yes, paypal, bitcoin or any other are just instruments for our desires. How do the people use them and their purpose of using them that matters.
