Topic: PayPal's "New Money" Compaign - 2016 Super Bowl Commercial - page 3. (Read 2219 times)

I saw it and was like "screw paypal"...  The halftime show was pretty good though. Glad peyton won his likely last game.

Bitcoin isnot centralized so there is no any body or company which will promote bitcoin however paypal is lossing lots of their users. Paypal is like hell with their fee structure and restriction. Slow and steady wins the race, so bitcoin will replace all this centralized fiat digital processor within few years.

this never played on superbowl 50

funding a google wallet (from wire transfer or debit/credit card) is 3%, but transfer between wallets is free (something blockstream are ignorant of and will criple bitcoin if they keep allowing tx fee to rise)

paypal is 3% if funding using debit/credit card but 0% if wire transfer.. and free to send within paypal accounts again bitcoin is losing is desirability by having fee's

the 2009-2013 proposal of bitcoin was way better than paypal or google at the time. but since things swaped over to core(blockstream) its not been the same. the whole dynamic changed and what use to be important got sidelined and what was the bad side of bitcoin became the direction blockstream wants to take bitcoin


nope, blockstream has lost grip of reality and has their own corporate agenda. the only thing that remains now is the hoard for price rise, long term  deflationary nature of bitcoin. lets hope blockstream doesnt intend to mess with that too

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.

so they are trying to compete with Bitcoin?
That doesn't make sense. It is obvious that bitcoin is far better and PayPal's money could never replace the crypto niche

Nice commercial. Of course Paypal needs to back this up with better service and lower fees. Because there's a new game in town and it's not anything that's basically built on top of the existing banking system. Sabreok is right that Bitcoin needs to focus on growth, but at least we pulled out of football when the (presumably less expensive) Bitcoin Bowl sorta imploded.

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

Yes bitcoin is best but we shouldn't reject other outright.Others can do besides bitcoin

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.
