Bitcoin is the best compared to other digital currencies that's why paypal choose it and it should be always the first choice. Also they know that bitcoin is already a developed digital currency and more useful than other coins. The demand of bitcoin keep on increasing which I think paypal knew it. But I think they will also add XRP later ,so don't be sad, just wait and see.

I always found these XRP shills to be very funny, they are so much in it for themselves that they can't even see what they are talking about or what they are compare themselves to neither. We are talking about BITCOIN, as in the main coin of crypto world that has so much value that only bitcoin itself worths more than all other coins combined in the world, and they are asking why the third coin with the highest centralization and a company with CEO's behind is not getting in the paypal instead of it.

Are you even serious? Do you know the difference between XRP and BTC and why they can't even be compared to each other? Obviously they are not going to list XRP before they do BTC, because bitcoin is the leading coin and currency of the crypto world and XRP is not even remotely there.

Its a valid question you asked which i dont think anyone should criticize you for but we all know bitcoin is the number crypto currency with enough reasons to be the first crypto PayPal is going with but im sure sooner or later Paypal would add XRP as another payment option since it has cheaper transactions fees and faster.. lets just wait and see

I think they're just starting to experiment it just yet.
I believe that even other companies, although it isn't a payment system, like Steam and Microsoft used to allow Bitcoin payments before but then stopped it.
My local online crypto wallet, namely Coins.ph, used to only allow Bitcoin holding but then included ETH, XRP, BCH after couple of years.

Paypal has just started mining its services by adopting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and BitcoinCash, in the future they may add some cryptocurrencies to their platform. Money transfer fee that Paypal collects from 1.5% -3.5%. For cryptocurrencies, the above fees may also apply.
Ripple does not have a large network like Bitcoin.
In the crypto market, Bitcoin has a strong influence on the rest of other cryptocurrencies, so Paypal will always prioritize Bitcoin when listing any cryptocurrency.

For quicker exchanges, XRP is a superior decision contrasted with BTC however I additionally have no clue about why the Paypal group has favored BTC over XRP. Perhaps the prominence of BTC has influenced while the group settles on this choice. It is bizarre to see the low effect on crypto markets, the XRP acknowledgment will develop if PayPal going to acknowledge the XRP as installment technique as well.

Business wise they will choose the currency who has the widest reach and already can be exchanged to FIAT. In most countries, BTC is already convertible to FIAT unlike XRP. There are so called BTC ATMs as well that goes to show how wide BTC reach is. There are more companies accepting BTC as well than XRP. So these goes in favor to BTC so why would they choose XRP over BTC.

That's actually the main reason why they chose btc, the scope of coverage of btc. A lot of local exchanges or remittances are already accepting btc, so why use the popular among cryptocurrencies? XRP may have the advantage of cheap tx fee but the popularity of usage is not comparable with btc at the moment. But I feel that later on, PayPal will also add XRP.

Paypal is adding Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash aside from Bitcoin. Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple could have been a better list.
I dare add my opinion on the upcoming list of crypto PayPal is proposing for the future and looking at it I'm not at all surprised.

The one things that stands out is that clearly they're going for decentralized coins so perhaps there's a clue why XML wasn't one of the choices.

It is all about trying to get on the train of cryptocurrencies, and not being left behind.
This is all a global shift towards decentralised, digital currencies.

Data suggests that among the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, or People’s Bank of China, now Paypal "a survey by the Bank for International Settlements found that 1 in 10 central banks, representing about one-fifth of the world’s population, expects to issue its own digital currencies within the next three years."

Please don't crucify me. Some hours ago PayPal payment system made some good decision of incorporating into their system buy and sell of Bitcoin, this has made it price to move from it former state. Basically ripple would have be the best for them IMO, seeing that ripple is the future of cryptocurrency irrespective of it centralization. As a ripple holder from inception, I did want Paypal to reconsider the use of ripple as it stand at the frontier of this era of digital currency. Hope this message get to PayPal team for appropriate actions.

That's because it's not a real cryptocurrency just a coin trying to be a Cryptocurrency very much centralized and Paypal wants to introduce to their network a real Cryptocurrency, I'm sure PayPal will add more coins like Ripple because it is on the top 10 and if many are going to request it, Paypal might add it, so since you are shilling Ripple why not take the first step by sending request to PayPal.

I find that they accept Bitcoin with high transaction volume, decentralization, and worldwide popularity. Ripple has lower transaction volume, few places accept payments in Ripple.
Paypal adds Bitcoin to its payment system in search of profits so they will choose a cryptocurrency with a larger transaction volume.

It makes sense if Paypal uses XRP as the XRP team had claimed many times they are going to be used by banks which PayPal is also related to banks so why not. But then XRP isn't what everybody wants though but maybe in the coming days, they will try to accept more altcoins. Or they have another plan and so Paypal didn't choose XRP because XRP is already centralized. What Paypal need is BTC so they can turn it centralized.


PayPal initially accept four cryptocurrencies and hope they will accept more in the future. For initial support, we have to be positive and keep supporting them. They will check the growth first then they will add more currencies shortly that I believe. This is just a starting, more will come soon.

It depends on them of what they use or promote coin because that is their company not mine and even not yours.
Maybe they have valid reasons why they choose bitcoin because it's popular and once they use it or added to their system it will become more famous their companu also and for sure they research about the possible result because it's a big company .

XRP was a scam coin. It's a crap security coin that is still in the legal battle with some investors and  PayPal will never accept or decide to choose the coin which has been making a lot of controversies.
Can you expect a security coin with the biggest premined coin in the world to be accepted by paypal? it will never happen but otherwise, if the investors will be winning the legal battle and it could be a disaster for ripple.

Why not bitcoin? besides we all know what is currently going on with xrp(ripple) they are facing a lot of problems with laws like some are being arrested
while bitcoin, on the other hand, received a lot of praise in the community and huge people and companies, if I put myself in PayPal's position, I will choose bitcoin 100%, at the end of the day it's nothing personal its just business, who wants to put your company in a bad position, or got mixed up with other issues?

The well known 3rd party company such as PayPal is better to using Bitcoin of course because bitcoin is the most well known cryptocurrency as well. If the company using XRP, i don't think people will follow to using XRP too. Bitcoin is already trusted by most people in crypto sphere,
and even the common people know about bitcoin.

Why does it make sense that Ripple should be preferred over Bitcoin? Paypal is a payment network in itself. They really don't need the so called centralized "Ripple Network" for enabling transactions. What they wanted was to allow its customers to have direct access to cryptocurrencies. Paypal is in the business of transferring "value" between merchants and buyers. The obvious choice is bitcoin because it is sound money. Ripple is just some business idea .

I think Xrp aren't just lucky when it comes to adoption probably they aren't as Decentralized as they claimed. Bitcoin is so decentralized without any team.
Xrp was alleged with releasing and selling of $50m Xrp in the past from Xrp fund without the consent of the community. PayPal wouldn't like to associate their self to that kind of community. Bitcoin has just little supply dominating about 67% of market cap and highest trading volume, it's a good start with BTC. In the future, they might adopt others as time goes on.

That's to much shilling for Ripple are you holding a lot of Ripple and you want hype so you can dump your shares, I don't think Ripple deserves to be in the first set of choice they are better on the third batch, if there will be a third batch, Tron is much better or Eos but Ripple give me a break.

It's possible that PayPal will add more crypto coins as time goes on, coinbase started with very limited crypto in the beginning of its life circle, I guess that's bitcoin and Ethereum only and now it's more than that, give paypal time and you will see, another thing is ripple is centralized, it's left for PayPal to add decentralized or centralized coins

The point is they are trying to make money and opportunity from crypto and bitcoin by far has majority of user in crypto market. it's only normal if paypal choose btc instead of other coin not to mention that xrp is like owned by ripple lol meanwhile btc is truly decentralized coin. by far paypal has made the best decision to not deal with xrp in my opinion.

Whatever you have been told about shitcoin XRP is a lie. They claim that they have a market cap of $11.5 billion but it is heavily inflated. If all the XRP comes in to free-float, then the market cap will be less than $1 billion. Also, more than 80% of the circulating supply is controlled by a handful of promoters such as Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse. They keep their coins in cold storage and the moment they dump these coins, XRP will lose more than 90% of its value.

They don't need your recommendation they know better than you do and it's better that they do not include Ripple, in fact they should not include Ripple it's very much centralized and it's not going to be the future of Cryptocurrency but only Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Paypal has just announced that it supports cryptocurrency on its platform, I'm sure the coins available today have been audited so they deserve to be added as the main coin. The exchange will be fully developed in 2021 and I predict that in the future top 10 coins will be available on Paypal soon.
Well, that's the truth. The whole happenings will yield good results becasue PayPal will definitely like to add more cryptocurrency coins to their accepted coins within their platform. Majorly, we will be seeing top cryptocurrency from the coinmarketcap which will make the entire crypto industry bullish. From this announcement through PayPal the future of this industry will be great, becasue after this; many other giants tech will definitely follow suits.

It's very obvious that PayPal chooses Bitcoin instead of xrp ripple due to the fact that bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency and more popular than any other coin in the crypto market. That's why Bitcoin is there instead of any other coin. Although xrp is also a top coin, but if in the future PayPal develops their system, maybe some other coins could be added like eth and xrp as well.

actually not only bitcoin, they are going to adopt other crypto currency  in thier platform not only bitcoin they just need to start it with the most popular crypto currency which is ethereum and bitcoin. but next time they will add more crypto when they see that there is a real demand for those coins.

Paypal do not want to support a project that is very similar than what they are offering, so they skip Ripple, but don't lose hope Ripple is doing great they are moving in a new territory which is UK, they can move freely there and launch a full marketing about their project, so many regulation from the US makes them limited in their moves.

Bitcoin is more supported than XRP, bitcoin is also decentralized and Xrp is complete centralized, moreover what makes you think that PayPal will only accept Bitcoin on their platform? It's not bad adding up to five different coins you know, this will fetch them better support around the world and bring in more money too, not everyone owns bitcoin

Bitcoin is the main thing about cryptocurrency other than that all are called altcoins. This is what Iearn from people here base on their replies. So do not get too upset for who knows that we might getting as well different crypto for paypal to offer. As we all know that they are just doing business for them to earn and by that I think the Paypal will be open for another crypto and tha XRP could possibly be added in their platform of buy and sell crypto.

I will agree with this. Ripple instead of BitcoinCash.

For faster transactions, XRP is a better choice compared to BTC but I also have no idea why the Paypal team has preferred BTC over XRP.

BTC is the most famous cryptocurrency, and even noncrypto users can identify bitcoin as crypto. Who knows, PayPal will add XRP later on? It is not the case that only 4 cryptocurrencies will be accepted forever. Adding is easier especially if they see the alt's advantage in terms of transaction aspect of things.

Quite simply, whether you know it or not, ripple is nowhere near as popular as bitcoin. It has never entered the mainstream public media (although it might get reported on sporadically) but lots of people have heard of bitcoin. You should be happy that bitcoin has been accepted by paypal, as it gives more people exposure to the idea of cryptocurrency and makes it much more likely that paypal will allow trading of other ones in future.
it is possible that they combine the two technologies owned by bitcoin and ripple, when bitcoin has a very expensive price with high transaction fees maybe ripple can provide a solution because the supply from ripple is also very large so I'm sure these two coins will have something to do with the use of cryptocurrency on the platform paypal.

That's just your opinion because you're a holder of ripple but ripple is lacking compared to Bitcoin because I think it's a matter of popularity. There's not doubt that Bitcoin is the most famous cryptocurrency out there. I even know a lot of people who aren't aware of cryptocurrencies but knows Bitcoin. There's not doubt that there's a lot of people who wants to invest or know Bitcoin but has limited options, Paypal just gave way to them because there's a market in it.
If I were a PayPal manager or owner I will still choose BTC among other altcoins, those alt were based in BTC and it's a giant among cryptos. The price may be too volatile but this what makes them unique if they will use XRP whic is a centralised coin it will better for them to create their own coin since they can be the one who will managed and manipulate it. I'd rather have BTC which is tested for long in being reliable in having transactions even it's decentralized.

Bitcoin is even being referred to as when the topic is cryptocurrency. Many people still are thinking that Bitcoin is a general term for cryptos because of its popularity which I think is not a surprise to knke that it is always included on any actions regarding acceptance of cryptos. But I agree, there's no need to feel upset if your preferred crypto is not on the list to be accepted in such network, because there will be further developments with regards to this, and if this would be benefitting them, more coins will be included for sure. To put it simpler, popularity is their main domain on choosing the cryptos they would include in their network.

Probably failed negotiations. Ripple is centralized garbage, it all depends on the will of a few. Sure way to lose your wealth, trust the very banks and institutions that brought all the problems in the first place.

So if you want justification for your bad investment, you are not going to get it in the Bitcoin forum. You should sell that junk while you can and buy bitcoin, but not with Paypal because that's almost as fake.

"irrespective"? Why don't you get some Petros, see how far you get.. Oops, Trump prohibited you from buying them. There is your lovely centralization: It can be stopped, easily; because its centralized. Therefore its value is zero.

Actually maybe that was just the first step to accepting new cryptocurrencies. since bitcoin is much more populated paypal prefers to use bitcoin instead of xrp. However, as far as I know they are also adding other assets such as ethereum litecoin and bitcoin cash and this can be a great step forward for them maybe they could replace the bitcoin cash with ripple but considering ripple is centralized and other are not, maybe they they made the decision because of the centralization of ripple.

XRP is a centralized shitcoin with large % in the hands of the Ripple company. Pumping it means paying those bastards because they are regularily dumping their coins to pay themselves wages.

Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple could have been a better list.

OMG what?



Maybe in the future PayPal will add other cryptocurrencies to its service... The fact that they added bitcoin and a few more coins is just the beginning of integration! I think that all this will not happen right away and not even in one year...

don't worry too much, they will add this shitcoin too. they have already added a couple of other shitcoins (BCH and ETH) to their system and they will eventually go the same route as the exchanges went and will monitor the market to add the shitcoins that have the highest volume and not just a high volume in a short time (like during their pumps).
for now XRP isn't going to be capable of giving them enough profit so in first phase it didn't make the cut.

Your whole statement is basically vulnerable because you're a long time holder of XRP, PayPal should have gone for it instead of Bitcoin. If it is for the sake of you holding it then wait a few more moments it could be fixed into their payment system in no time as Bitcoin holders had always waited. Truth be told, if PayPal had gone for XRP instead of Bitcoin it wouldn't make sense to anybody not even you the advocate of XRP. So appealing not to be crucified isn't acceptable.

If you want PayPal to add XRP in their platform it is better to request them in their platform rather than hoping that they will visit this forum and make the necessary changes like you wish Tongue. I do not care if they explore the cryptocurrency space and update their business model and they are adding Ethereum, Bitcoin cash and Litecoin but not XRP  Tongue.

If this for real, if the intension is to bring the message to PayPal.

This advise is really appropriate, as if PayPal rep will be here and read this thread. There's always door for every cryptocurrencies being added to PayPal platform after  Bitcoin. So far XRP stands at the number 4 slot looking inside CMC. Though ETH might gain it first if in case PayPal will add one at the time. Grin Wink

Hope this message get to PayPal team for appropriate actions.

Here you made a mistake, and a pretty bad one, if indeed somebody with a say in Paypal's way of running things stumbles upon this topic and read not only your post but the replies also I doubt it will be good for xrp.

That said, I would rather see Doge being accepted next rather than any of the other top 10 or 20 coins.

Sounds to me like you might be a little biased because you've been a long-time holder. The truth is that Bitcoin is more appealing than Ripple for many reasons, a lot of which have already been explained to you by other members. However, the way I see it, nothing is preventing PayPal from making a decision to add it in the future if there is a demand for it.

Please don't crucify me. Some hours ago PayPal payment system made some good decision of incorporating into their system buy and sell of Bitcoin, this has made it price to move from it former state. Basically ripple would have be the best for them IMO, seeing that ripple is the future of cryptocurrency irrespective of it centralization. As a ripple holder from inception, I did want Paypal to reconsider the use of ripple as it stand at the frontier of this era of digital currency. Hope this message get to PayPal team for appropriate actions.
I am not exactly able to understand the purpose of your post? Paypal has incorporated a method of buying and selling bitcoins just like coinbase or any other wallets so how can XRP be the first cryptocurrency? I haven't seen even a single wallet coming to XRP or other currency first without Bitcoin. Yes if the question would have been on incorporating XRP as a method of settlement of PayPal payments then I would have advocated this. But here PayPal has just become a new bitcoin wallet and nothing more than that. So your question seems illogical as to how Ripple would have been the best for them? Moreover, there is not a single use-case scenario of Ripple at a large scale I don't see Ripple as a future until now. Banks are preferring now to make their own blockchain for such settlements if that happens Ripple has zero utility.

Dont know on whats the reason but i cant blame them if they would choose up the best or most supported coin in this crypto market because we know on how shitty
the reputation of Ripple into this market where everyone do almost hate it due to being centralized.Do you really believe that if they do make XRP as their main will
really create that much of a news or attention? This is actually a part of marketing for Paypal, since they do know that Bitcoin does really have that extreme or wide
support then mentioning or adding it up into their platform will really give out some significant positive impact. What yah say?

If you want PayPal to add XRP in their platform it is better to request them in their platform rather than hoping that they will visit this forum and make the necessary changes like you wish Tongue. I do not care if they explore the cryptocurrency space and update their business model and they are adding Ethereum, Bitcoin cash and Litecoin but not XRP  Tongue.

Paypal accepted bitcoin as it is the first and the most trusted coin in the world. Whereas Ripple is a poor centralized coin that is mostly preferred in the banking sector.
Believe me, Bitcoin is a gift to the world, and Ripple is just a project started with the intention of making money.

Also, its founder owns one-third of XRP coins supply, if he sells all his coins someday? Imagine how its price will fall.

Quote
[..]
Ripple Chairman Chris Larsen owns around a third of all XRP. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also holds a significant amount, as do other senior board members. With so much XRP concentrated in just a few hands, there's a chance the price may be overinflated.

Some companies use XRP as an asset and for me, it's not a bad choice for Paypal. The decision of Paypal was just normal picking bitcoin since it is the best cryptocurrency available and most of the people are using.

I also don't like Bitcoin Cash and would probably gonna pick XRP than Bitcoin cash like other users, but PayPal for sure is gonna continue to adopt in the cryptocurrency environment and probably after a few months and years will support more of the cryptocurrency available in the market. Still having bitcoin is enough to start adopting choosing XRP over bitcoin is the worst thing they could do.

I also wonder why they didn't include xrp since if this one will be added it will also minimize the hassle since the fast and cheaper transaction fee makes it's more convenient to us.

But also I think it will be added soon and if the xrp supporter will show a support toward this provably we can see it added on PayPal.
No need to ask PayPal already knows what to do, this is the first time bitcoin is used in the paypal system by buying and selling easily, but it's all still being tested (in my view) and if bitcoin stability happens to the future and not there is a big crash on the price then this is safe enough that paypal will be consistent against other cryptocurrencies to add and more options in crypto.

So this will not immediately coincide with other coins, for me this is also good news for the acceptance of crypto digital currency that has been approved in paypal. So what are you waiting for let's try. Grin

ripple is the future of cryptocurrency irrespective of it centralization. As a ripple holder from inception

You have typical bagholder mentality, where you can no longer view your investment objectively and believe that it can only go up no matter what. Ripple has always been bad, a completely centralized cryptocurrency is worthless, the goal of crypto is to remove centralization in money. It's good that PayPal didn't decide to work with them, and it's clear why - Ripple, as a centralized payment company, is PayPal's direct competitor. Why should they help them?

You have a good point too because ripple is one of the cheapest transaction fees it's less than a dollar unlike the bitcoin but I think right now they are just trying to use the bitcoin first as a demo because this is decentralized also it's already known for making transaction which is a good thing too.  I think they will add new feature coins soon.

Like there is the next and followed by the ripple just my prediction.

There are some coins available on PayPal, not only Bitcoin, but there are also ETH, BCH, and LTC. It is still the beginning of how PayPal makes this decision. And it doesn't mean that PayPal will never list XRP. probably, some days, they will also consider XRP.
However, don't say about replacing BTC with XRP because it will not make sense. BTC is however more promising than XRP.

They stated that upcoming cryptocurrencies are: Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. They haven't mentioned ripple at the moment and to be fair I am a little bit surprised but there is a logic behind this decision. Paypal needs new customers, as they stated, they expect that millions of crypto users will come and use their service after this implementation that will be fully covered in 2021. So, if they need new customers, then bitcoin is by far the best choice because it has a lot of users, then comes Ethereum but seems they jumped from Ripple to bitcoin cash.

There was also an article about Paypal going to be releasing their own cryptocurrency, its very possible to happen and of course a centralized as well. I read it here https://cointelegraph.com/news/paypal-might-issue-its-own-cryptocurrency-soon-says-coinshares-exec

So XRP isn't on their list and for now it's just these 3 Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. It's likely just the major coins for now. You can now see they are becoming like an exchange already at the early phase of their transformation into adoption crypto.

Whichever coins they will add to their list, the most important is if they allow users to send the coins outside PayPal. Its useless if now.

What we see with PayPal getting into bitcoin buying is just the beginning of centralized service platform into cryptocurrency related business. Further we can expect the addition of more and more number of cryptocurrencies. XRP being centralized and has partnered with different bank network, there is more possible chances of XRP partnering with PayPal.

It's not the future of crypto. Paypal accepting a centralized crypto makes sense though.
Another thing, is it ripple or XRP?

It won't. Post on their page/channel/forum.

~ Also - the PayPal partnership is done by Paxos. Not sure of Paxos status with XRP?
Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Perhaps Paxos team doesn't think highly of XRP or they don't need another centralized coin.

They are just starting. Adding them all at once would have technical difficulties and they won't be able to provide a support. Paypal is used by all sorts of people and you know how hard it's to make stupid people understand how crypto works. Even coinbase started with a few coins and now has plenty of them. Similar would be with Paypal, they are just testing how it would turn out and if they find it's profitable, they'll bring in more and more coins.

Well they can't add them all. Why didn't they decide to add monero too? (It has been rising in the past days by the way.)
In my opinion, the less they add, the better it is for bitcoin. I'm a little pissed that they added bitcoin cash, but I'm very sure that their choices had to do with the investment they were planning to do with those coins. To answer your question, they may found XRP a bad investment.

It makes sense if Paypal uses XRP as the XRP team had claimed many times they are going to be used by banks which PayPal is also related to banks so why not. But then XRP isn't what everybody wants though but maybe in the coming days, they will try to accept more altcoins. Or they have another plan and so Paypal didn't choose XRP because XRP is already centralized. What Paypal need is BTC so they can turn it centralized.

What I saw in regard to this is the game PayPal wants to play here is to follow slowly with the cryptocurrency system as Bitcoin is the heartbeat of the industry. We all know that Bitcoin has one of the biggest fork's around the industry and they will like have them onboard. But the beauty of this aftermath will be that ripple with be incorporate into their payment system after the launch of Bitcoin.

By the way, are you serious or just trolling? If you are serious then you are definitely be worth burning at the stake. To be honest, though, I think Ripple deserves the spot taken by Bitcoin Cash. Paypal is adding Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash aside from Bitcoin. Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple could have been a better list.
