There is no evil with Bitcoin especially if you understand how it works, sure there are people who will try to steal your money. But that isn't Bitcoins fault that it is the greedy nature of humans.

You are right, for me bitcoin is the best compared to paypal with fiat currencies. Bitcoin don't have a very strict policies and will not limit our account and really don't need to verify our accounts.

former CEO of the PayPal payment system Bill Harris considers bitcoin the biggest fraud, its participants are "misinformed buyers." Nevertheless, bitcoin has better competitive properties than the payment system. for example, this is a large number of services and stores that host bitcoins, lower commissions and faster transactions. the following property - in the "gold standard" bitcoin in the form of electricity used for its extraction.

Certainly it is better than PayPal because there is no risk of account getting suspended. PayPal suspends or closes accounts frequently without any valid reasons.

Yes I agree with you Bitcoin is much secured than paypal and Bitcoin is anonymous in terms of transaction payments, sadly bitcoin can use in money laundering online but for me its better bitcoin than paypal.

bitcoin is undoubtedly better than PayPal, which, with the advent of the digital currency, has become somewhat outdated. there are many factors supporting the unconditional leadership of bitcoin in front of the PayPal system. for example, low commissions, availability of bitcoins and unlimited transactions for transfers, decentralization and universality.

There are many advantages of bitcoin that will place it over paypal. First, the transactions with bitcoins are instantly done. It is less complicated and scammers can be dodged. Just watch where you are buying from.
I believe that investing in bitcoin is more reliable, since you yourself are your own bank)

bitcoin is much better than this outdated system. There are several evidences to this: low commission rates, community support, ready to develop and improve to satisfy consumers and users. these are additional opportunities in the form of a variety of coins and self-storage of money. further - the availability of bitcoins around the world. in general, at the local level, it is controlled, but it can not be forbidden all over the world, because for this it is necessary to turn off electricity or the Internet.
I would also add the following factors in favor of bitcoin: it is unlimited transactions, which can not be said about PayPal, decentralized bitcoin, which makes it possible to secure the system from hacking hackers. further - it's versatility: when using PayPal you need to have access to the Internet and a credit card; Bitcoin also allows you to send money even via SMS with an outdated phone model.

Paypal is truly the worst. I just had someone "accidentally" put $130 into my account and then email me saying I stole the money and to return it to them right away. Of course I just ignored this person. They even tried to contact me on facebook messenger! In the end paypal reversed the transaction without me having to do anything. I guarantee if I had sent that money back I would be out $130 right now.

Paypal also is still holding $150 I tried to use to buy a painting by a Cuban artist (in Miami). Because the transaction had the word "Cuban" in it they are basically going to hold my money until I get a letter from the treasury department...

I think that in any of these platforms should be more careful man himself. Payment platforms are not evil. But even taking a neutral position, I still choose Bitcoin.

IN THEORY Bitcoin cannot be evil since it is (or should be) a decentralized system owned by nobody. However, increasing centraliation of Bitcoin mining and BTC (in the hand of waves) is altering the equation of goodness/badness quite a bit.

I don't think Bitcoin has anything evil around it,its very transparent,unlike PayPal that you don't know what goes on behind the seen..you might not track your transactions, if you are not careful..

It's a little unfair to refer to Bitcoin and PayPal as evils if people just find ways to use them for bad purposes. The intended use of PayPal is to make global transactions easier and that's it, humans will find a bad use for anything imo

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?

Reply

I think if bitcoin for exchange or payment is okay. Same as paypal. But however even paypal is early used, but can not defend bitcoin. Bitcoin also can trade and the price can lower or higher.

I do not really understand so I will not care about it. Maybe both are equally evil, because now even paypal receive bitcoin transactions.

Paypal is evil when bitcoin is more evil because there are more bad attempts like scam, scam, ponzi in bitcoin and there is no way you can get your money after you've been cheated. On paypal there is still a way to stop scammers but bitcoin is a wild world that also depends on its usage. Cool
