Anyone else see this one during Super Bowl 50?

I'm sick of all these fiat payment processors... same old system, same old corruption, and same old restrictions.

Bitcoin is New Money. PayPal/Android Pay/Samsung Pay/Apple Pay is Old Money with a fancy new pair of shoes.

Angry

let them waste their money on that crap. bitcoin still needs to grow before its primed for mainstream.

its not like bitcoin is just a wallet service. its a whole new economy. so let bitcoin grow and then advertise it like a whole new country, rather than just an app

I haven't been around in awhile, but I am curious as to why people say PayPal charges for transactions.

Is there somewhere that states this? Or Google Wallet for that matter? I have used both a bunch of times in the past year and have no fees. Google Wallet transfers within seconds in my experience.

Bitcoin certainly has its place doing other things, blockchain, yada yada. But I really don't see how an average person can get behind it. I am a little above an average person(background in computer programming and degree in Information Systems) when it comes to things of this nature and I still don't use it for anything.

As of lately there are so many no-fee credit cards that benefit me more than BTC ever has while I was using it. 6% off of groceries at a supermarket(Amex card). 3% back on gas(Amex card). Or getting a new CC like something that gives rewards for flying/hotels. Getting the new card from Hilton gives 50,000 points(spend 750 bucks on their cc within 3 months, so easy to do). 50,000 points = a free stay at their tier level 5 hotels(a hotel thats like 300 bucks+ a night), or 10 stays at a normal hotel that's like 80 a night.

Is there something hidden I haven't discovered that BTC can do that rewards me THAT much? I have seen some promo offers for buying with BTC and getting a discount, but getting into BTC has a fee to start with and that usually washes out the savings.

Exactly how does one opt to sign up for and use a third-party payment processor sans viewing their fee schedule once?

yeah but we will not bring them down by telling people how bad they are, we as a community need to show people how good the alternatives are, for example bitcoin..... Grin

Paypal: high fees, single management team, large promotion budget.

BTC: low fees, no clear management, no promotion budget.

So Paypal can afford expensive advertisements while BTC can't. I'm afraid Paypal will keep on growing faster than BTC, even its system is vastly inferior and more expensive. Makes me sad.

PayPal follows rules and regulations and hence they charge for the same while BTC is not controlled by anything which makes it useful for us and risky as well. PayPal has already achieved much more than what it expected but BTC miners here aren't able to earn a lot for their work which is why it doesn't get promoted widely.

Do you think some Bitcoin company will advertise its service on next Super Bowl? I heard this costs like $2 million a minute to have a spot Shocked

Well if Xapo which provide a pretty good service didn't quite make Bitcoin work the way Paypal does or couldn't create a decent percentage of adoption from the mainstream then it's clear that Bitcoin doesn't really work for transactions. Regular people can't really be bothered by decimals, wallets, address as long as lines of code, no refunds, authorization keys, etc.

To many here, they didn't replace Bitcoin with any name because Bitcoin doesn't exists in the minds of the average Joe. They will gladly use Paypal because they use email and CCs and it's very easy. I myself have used Paypal for more than 10 years without any problems.

We as bitcoiners must face what we really want for Bitcoin, to be eGold or something like that, or to actually be adopted by the mainstream as a method of payment. If you are on this last side well my friend I think that battle is already lost. No common person will adopt Bitcoin, it's a complete hassle both in terms of usability and from a logical point of view.

I don't have any problem at all with PayPal advertising as they choose.

What will be of much more interest will be if Bitcoin gains market share at PayPal's expense (likely IMO). In general, the best products win in free market competition. What I like about BTC (vs. PayPal) is independence and decentralization.

I really don't mind their advertisement, but I also liked how several videos were made to replace 'Paypal' in the video with 'Bitcoin'. Honestly speaking Paypal isn't considered money or a virtual currency. It's just where we get to link our credit cards or banks and be able to use it as a medium of exchange as a payment processor.

I didn't think PreyPal was actually money. I thought it was a transfer service that took 6 months for the deal to finalise (because of the risk of chargebacks). There seems to be a series of these ads, and none of them say anything new, apart from the fact that you can use your mobile. It took them a while to catch up on that. I've been able to use payM on my feral account for a while now.

PeyPal is not exactly money but it's a bank, an online bank.

It's a very good system in the midle of bitcoin and fiat.
I feel that paypal is a bit the first step to get to totally decentralized currency like bitcoin.

It's not new money, it's still dollar but in different forms.

Paypal have management team & large promotion budget because high fees, but they can attract more people. Bitcoin don't need promotion because bitcoin's commodity will promote bitcoin.
Some company like Xiaomi barely make any promotion (mostly online), let community promote their product, so they can make cheap & good smartphone. And it works well, they're very popular now & i think it'll happen to bitcoin.

Awesome! I was hoping someone would do a remake.

(I'll admit, PayPal's commercial style was really good.)

People tend to forget that, bitcoin still need to improved things if we want to use it for mainstream, i hope that core bring us some good solutions for all.

Maybe paypal plan to start accepting bitcoin for his services around the world in the next months... who know?

Yeah Paypal is a good idea but not nearly half as innovative as bitcoin is!

Don't worry, it will fail as hard as the rest of the fiat economy one day!

Most of us say that PayPal is wasting its money on this, but it will help them attract plenty of new custommers. It's quite funny that PayPal is saying they are new money, lol. It's still the same old crappy fiat system but with a new jacket on. That's all.

I think the commercial itself is fairly decent. In some ways PayPal is an improvement on the legacy systems. But I agree Bitcoin has much more possibility of actually being revolutionary.

Lol doubt anyone is going to sign up for Paypal.... Once they see Bitcoin they'll all be amazed and attracted to us Tongue

And yeah let PP waste their money!
