I would add "anonymity" to cryptocurrency but it is controversial argument. I have read somewhere about software which allows to track transactions and analyze it.
Bitcoin is not provide any anonymity ,how would you consider a public ledger to be anonymous ,it is transparent and every tokens send and received are available for everyone to see,paypal is a service aimed to send and receive money and not a currency . Tongue

I have been using paypal for a long time now and I feel that it is nothing like crypto. Firstly, banks need to authorize all my transactions before processing them which shows how centralized this digital currency really is. Second point is that paypal provides a digital form of fiat currency and is not actually a digital currency itself. Third point here is that paypal transactions are not anonymous at all while crypto transactions are mostly anonymous in nature.

I want to hear you guys why PayPal is not a digital currency and maybe Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto saw the benefits of Cryptocurrency after PayPal that's why he came up with the idea and create that simple idea into reality.

Let's talk about it...
