Is Bitcoin less evil than PayPal?

[IndigoRed]

I do some sideline freelance work and rely on PayPal to receive payments. And let me tell ya, they're charges and fees are a pain in the neck! I believe bitcoin or any other digital currency is by far, better than PayPal. The core features of bitcoin is security and the absence of a centralized authority, resulting in lower fees and charges. Plus, no freezing of funds or chargebacks.

I think so, fewer commissions and less regulated. PayPal is too strict, they trust AI to fight a fraud but honest people often take a bullet too.

Paypal is owned by one person, or one company in a centralized way, so there is a possibility of manipulation in processing its finances. Like there is theft of funds from insiders or rivals from Paypal itself.

Bitcoin is not like Paypal and is a lot different, ownership of the Bitcoin is owned by the owner, if you send the wrong Bitcoin to someone else's wallet, then the risk is yours.

Paypal is the same as UBER, VISA, MasterCard, all of which are centralized, so when there are problems in transactions or system errors we can submit it to the head office.

Bitcoin is not like that, it stands alone, Bitcoin is the right to own the owner, it is not centralized and when there is a delivery error, it is the risk that the owner of Bitcoin carries.
