Topic: Is Bitcoin less evil than PayPal? - page 10. (Read 5323 times)
Bitcoin as paypal has atracked all kinds of people, each one has their risks, but charge you 20 dollars or more for something you are selling its insane, they may proof just because they handle the transaction, if you make the same sell with bitcoin you will pay maybe 2 dollars, soo now suppose you sell 1000 units monthly, its too many money paypal takes. I dont like chargebacks, if you are a honest person, seller or buyer you wont need paypal to make the right thing.
it makes no sense whatsoever. everyone must think that bitcoin is something that makes our lives easier. and every thing that is not possible nasty !!! bitcoin and paypal simplify.
if you think paypal is evil then bitcoin is more evil, because there are more evil attempts like scam, fraud, ponzi in bitcoin and there are no way you can get your money once you already being scammed, in paypal maybe there is still a way to stop scammer, but in bitcoin its a wild world
But it's not related to bitcoin indirectly, different with PayPal can freezing or ;limiting their customer account for what they want, although their users are not making any suspicious act in their account. you're correct if say bitcoin is eviler than PayPal but that is not the bitcoin act indirectly.if you think paypal is evil then bitcoin is more evil, because there are more evil attempts like scam, fraud, ponzi in bitcoin and there are no way you can get your money once you already being scammed, in paypal maybe there is still a way to stop scammer, but in bitcoin its a wild world
Are you on a PayPal forum and there aren't any scam attempts? How do you know this? What are they trading PayPal with?

I guess op is just referring to the charging fees of paypal and he is not pointing to the whole usage of bitcoin. Also in paypal or usage of dollars scams are also existing. It is just going to depend to the person on how he is going to work with his own money and how he is going to use that whether its bad or good.

Just think on this forum and any other place no one do trade/exchange of bitcoin with paypal because of their charge-back feature. It shows that people do not like that feature and there is a harm with that feature so not it better that we do not get that feature in bitcoin. Those people who want to deal in bitcoin should have to use escrow so that no one can scam them.
Chargeback features on a payment medium that can be used to exchange fiat money for another fairly liquid currency is a terrible idea, and I don't know why anyone would think that's a good idea. You might as well be giving someone money and asking them if they want to take it back or not half the time. 
I don't know much about paypal, I never used this service in my life. And that is all what paypal is service for dollars, as I know they don't support other currencies. They are not evil, just a company for making profit, and in return they provide some reliefs. Don't know why would anyone think that paypal can be evil, people that running that company can be evil, some of customers can be evil.
Also for bitcoin to be less evil then paypal, I need to admit that I don't understand this analogy. This things are here to make some things easier and better.

Bitcoin is a clean, pure currency. The people decide the value, it is decentralized, and all spending is transparent. What makes anything good or evil is what it does or what is done with it. The Bitcoin technology can not be held accountable for what it is used for but, Bitcoin sure does make it a lot easier to see how it was used correctly or incorrectly.
I think when bitcoin have a more features like chargeback, it will make bitcoin more safety. Paypal have that features and get many positive feedback.
This is not what bitcoin users would like to see to bitcoin, especially for this reason I consider better bitcoin than paypal, in some cases it is good for the sellers but it's not good at all for the buyers.

I have never been a victim of PayPal's evil nature, but I still think they suck. Ebay too. But you know, I still use them. Ebay is the place to get anything, and PayPal is convenient (except for the fees if you're a seller). It's a good thing that those two companies split apart, because it was even worse when Ebay owned PayPal.
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?
~CfA~

I don't know, some people use this chargeback to scam others peoples. Don't know if it's good or not this system.
You have to trust the seller, that's the basic.
Bitcoin is not at all evil if compared with PayPal, and it can never be as it's a technology, not controlled by anyone. I remember the days PayPal used to be a big headache for me, and for most of the online sellers, specially if you are from any worse country. Limitations, reversals, disputes, everything filled in with a big quantity.
I still use PayPal, but the usage of it has been declined. Since I keep two options for the customers to pay me with, bitcoin and PayPal, the ratio has now become somewhat like 50% 50%.

I think it is because there is no real mind after it and it has a good market is getting bigger plus the fee's are also less more than PayPal.
I think the bitcoin is due to that way better than PayPal.

Bitcoin is not "evil" and it isn't "good"/"virtuous" or whatever the opposite of evil is.
I personally hate paypal, myself and would never use it again ever since they locked my account for using it in the past for receiving payment for fantasy football winnings back when that kind of thing wasn't allowed. I had to go through a bunch of hoops in order to get my account unlocked and my money out.
With paypal, you have to agree to their terms of use and are subject to whatever is in those terms of use.
With bitcoin, their is no terms of use which you are beholden to. You are free to use it how you want.
That's one of the ways I see bitcoin vs paypal.

Yes i consider paypal is more devil than bitcoin imao paypal is number payment method in online shop where dont need to use escrow and you can refund your payment once it send its not like bitcoin it is more safer than payal and bitcoin has more big future than paypal
I think when bitcoin have a more features like chargeback, it will make bitcoin more safety. Paypal have that features and get many positive feedback.
I understand your point of view about paypal and yeah we can say that paypal is harder to use and to maintain the account on a good and stable because they block or limit the account for different reasons which sometimes are very unnecessary, but with bitcoin it can happen too if we use third party apps.
i think bitcoin is not an evil but it is a blessing, and we should respect that blessing, it really give me a good profit and also control my expenses, i consider it as my side business and also give good time to it.
