Paypal allows chargeback fraud and is a feast for scammers

Paypal can be used in fraud or scam due to charge back while in Bitcoin, our funds safety depends on our activity and behaviour online wherein carelessness is the only risk to allow others to access or expose important things like private keys, passphrase and credentials. We are not in full control of our funds in Paypal unlike Bitcoin which is a decentralized asset that we can easily and safely control in a safe place like paper or hardware wallets. Bitcoin does not allow charge back because it has an irreversible feature. Bitcoin is also faster than Paypal in terms of transactions.Paypal allows chargeback fraud and is a feast for scammers

That is the good thing about bitcoin. We cannot say it is evil because it is decentralized and devs cannot gain anything from it. And its blockchain is open to everyone. Honesty with no one controlling it.

With the current situation with transactions PayPal wins hands down but with bitcoin not being owned by anyone apart from the people it is better. People will get scammed with any platform.
Paypal slow respone from their support and bitcoin is slow confirmation from the miners but my opinion more comfort use bitcoin than paypal because bitcoin is not needs verification is like paypal who waste my time.
Slow confirmations? I think that's pretty much a nonfunctional statement in comparison to PayPal's transactions. Bitcoin's transactions are final after 10-15 minutes on average, where with PayPal it takes months and months.Also, with PayPal you know up front that this heavily centralized and regulated service requires people to verify themselves. It's not that PayPal catches you by surprise and forces you to do so.
Despite people not really liking PayPal here, it has managed to grow continuously throughout the years, which pretty much says enough. If people were really that disgusted with PayPal, they wouldn't use it anymore.
Bitcoin and PayPal are service providers who try to make customers more than getting negative testimonials. Scammers just use the loop hole to use it for fraudulent activities. PayPal's charge back feature has helped lots to get their money back, at the same there are people who got scammed by the same feature. So it's not to describe these services an evil.
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.

there is nothing to be seen from bitcoin crime, therefore pure bitcoin from all failures, losses, frauds is very beneficial for investers who invest in bitcoins because this is the way to earn money without getting started with a deposit.
that bitcoin is very much different from pay pal that always take advantage of the investment for scammers. ...

I am not sure i would consider paypal " evil " just because some people decide to use it at times for bad things. People would be saying the same for bitcoin if that was the case. They would never things like silkroad out of their minds. Now paypal does have some bad fees but here recently bitcoin fees have been bad. So who is the evil of them both?

Money is evil. No matter the means of exchange, there will always be criminals or coup people.
I really dont think any of these are evil because they are all meant to be there and be used in descretion of people. And if you have an account already, your job is to be careful on your transactions to avoid the scammers. There is no need to blame anyone as the only one resonsible to these transactions are the users themselves. Just like in a regular transaction in a store or something and we should who we buy to to also avois scams. It just so happens that in bitcoin and in paypal, transactions are through digital and throug online accounts.
Bitcoin has its own values and the PayPal has its own. Both are very useful. I also do not think any bad things in these two. Bitcoin is evil nor is PayPal. We must look the difference between bitcoin and PayPal. Both are working so good and helping people. Bitcoin is the currency of the new era. One thing is that while transacting your money may be steel and you cannot recover it in bitcoin while in PayPal you can still recover your money.
Paypal in my opinion is EVIL, I used to sell stuff on ebay and in conjunction with paypal the scam charge backs made me quit ebay and paypal back in 2011. and I would never use paypal again even if they payed me!

Yes, they’re all good. But when it comes to being evil, they’re all at the same level evil. Even gold, silver and diamond are all evil, because in the past, they were all used to pay assassins, serial killers and the rest of them. They were to do lots of evil, including doing good things also. So bitcoin and PayPal are the same.
the world always chooses stuff which is the lowest evil till now, but Bitcoin is something else. it removed that conquering or having all the money stuff from the network now everyone has full control over their money(if you have chosen good wallet).bitcoin is life good but has some problems so it will be less good but not evil from my point of view. and I am sure we can see a lot of bigger sticks very soon in the Bitcoin network.

That is an interesting way of looking at it. I would say then exchanges are ripe for fraud in our bitcoin and altcoin ecosystem.
They are always getting "hacked" and coins are "stolen". I think they mainly steal from themselves.
All things in this world has it advantages and disadvantages its just happen that many people that is not knowledgeable about Bitcoin look at it as more evil than PayPal because you transact anonymously yet PayPal are reversible that is being abuse by some scammers unlike to Bitcoin that is irreversible. It is just the matter who uses this thing and how they will secure their moneys.

PayPal is more evil than BTC as every now and then it freezes your funds and asks for verifications and also it is not supported in many countries.
