Summary for those of you who haven't worked it out yet.


You know thats BS right, you completely dismiss the amount of gambling industry, video games, remittance, online services, investments, etc..

Basically there are much more things for what bitcoin can be used, so dont be too negative on bitcoin.


Just because you can push a brick along the floor with your nose does not make it the quickest way to move it from place to place.

Summary for those of you who haven't worked it out yet.

PayPal.
Great for buying on line, offers protection against non-delivery of goods and fraud.

Fiat.
Great for using in the pub, local shop, paying for your mortgage, getting your salary paid in. Etc, etc, etc, etc.

Bitcoin
Good for buying drugs.

In a way many people haven't even heard of BTC or they think it's a game. In time BTC will show it's true value, not just monetary.

Metaphorically it's a game, and we are winning.

PP is too restrictive and its after all a middleman. There is no way that you can store cash online by yourself, however you can store money online via bitcoin, middleman for bitcoin is optional, not necessary.

This is bitcoin's real advantage, it makes the middleman optional.

There's another topic comparing the 2: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/paypal-or-bitcoin-1260666

The subject here is that between 2014 and 2015, Paypal gained 16 millions new users (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/about). There's no way to be sure as it's impossible to count how many users BTC has, but I believe it's more than BTC. Much more. So I'm asking why? And ultimately, what can be done to reverse this trend?

Since BTC is cheaper to use, I guess Paypal is more successful because it's better at making its users feel safe, without any dark cloud/block size issue above their heads.

I sincerely believe BTC's one hundred times better than Paypal because it's a currency, and unregulated, but something clearly has to change. I've been here long enough to remember guys writing that BTC would kill Paypal, it hasn't, and it doesn't look that it will.

Paypal is much more popular than bitcoin and paypal is almost accepted everywhere, protects the buyer rights etc, bitcoin is new and not always is good for the buyers.

 So I'm asking why?

Quite simple. Bitcoin just can not be understood and handled by the average person. I understand it. I'd say 99% of the people I know could not understand it, setup a wallet, fund that wallet, spend from that wallet and not lose that wallet.
It is as simple as that.

This is similar to say: The number of people travel by train is growing faster than number of people travel by car  Roll Eyes
which is the train ? paypal ?
I think the notion of Paypal is growing faster than Bitcoin is wrong.
I used is a blogger, and payapl it obligatory, but now many bloggers are turning seek bitcoin, it is the proof
Paypal can grow in different ways but the Bitcoins is totally different because of its benefits and value. The Bitcoins users are getting profits in exchange of Bitcoins. Paypal can do transfers of money only.

its no wonder,paypal today is more strange than bitcoin,and grow faster,but paypal have some weak,its a verify account problem,so many people confuse about this feature,and bitcoin can resolve this,i wish bitcoin can introduce it self to paypal user,and i hope they are interest. as payment,bitcoin maybe better than paypal,because it more simple,but the price is matter for itself.

Well you'd have to take all the things into consideration, Paypal is accepted at more online stores than Bitcoin FOR NOW, and most of those 16 million users you mentioned must have probably joined Paypal because they wanted to purchase something from Ebay or other online stores where Paypal is available.

And as Bitcoin gets accepted at more stores worldwide the number is going to increase further more.

Also, for now it is easy to exchange fiat money to/from paypal but it is still a bit difficult doing that with BTC, so we need to focus more on making it easier and SAFER for people to buy/sell BTC.

This one happen probably because so damn much merchant accepting paypal and if bitcoin do so,no doubt bitcoin will be grew up lot faster
agree with you.. btc not as famous as paypal, all merchant still dont know about btc i think.if all merchant accepted btc im sure paypal will be useless
bcause btc got a low transaction fee and easy to use
hope bitcoin will be grow faster

As I've said before on other posts, PayPal and fiat money will always exists because of its convenience.

Bitcoin benefits merchants because they have to pay fewer taxes or fees on their income, because they can manage their own funds. It also allows for similar benefits for consumers.

Bitcoin will grow if it continues to gain value and get good things said about it, coupled with education about the current financial system.

For me paypal is growing faster than bitcoin because paypal is safe than bitcoin and paypal are using usd or main currency and i think many company are using service of paypal like PTC site CPA network or PPD and also company that you can buy online like ebay amazon etc.
However bitcoin is easy to use but in bitcoin world they are anonymous and you will be scam anytime because you cant reverse the transaction than paypal that you can dispute if you are not satisfied or the product is not good as he promise.
So people will choose paypal than bitcoin thats why they are growing fast.
This.

Bitcoin may be 'safer' and 'cheaper' than PayPal but PP is basically USD whereas bitcoins are just numbers to people and easily gambled or scammed away - not so safe. I know I learned this the hard way.

PayPal is basically a coinbase and could easily implement BTC into their system if the market became favorable. As for now, too volatile.

I don't see the relation.


You don't see the difference between train and car?  Wink

Besides, Paypal does not move money at all, all they do is moving numbers of the client's account, like an exchange do, all these account are just some database without any money in it
