Is bitcoin better or paypal?

[stompix]

Since bitcoin is now acceptinged toat  local stores maybe soon ais possible bitcoin will become the beat best payment method since paypal is the foirst known as a payment gateway to use to online <> shop and yet other stores and local stores are now accepting bitcoins

How about you do something about your posts?
Google translate is laughing his ass seeing this.

Paypal is good as payment method and bitcoin as investment. But soon paypal could get bitcoin as concurrent, when lightning network is full implemented and accepted worldwide.Then I would also prefer bitcoin as payment method.

PayPal could work with bitcoin also, providing what people fear when shopping online, security and charge backs.
Either way is not a war between btc and paypal at this moment and more something like BitPay vs Paypal.

As I have already said my opinion is that the lower commission prices is always better for me as for a user. That how I understand it. Didn't get the point about iPhone, sorry English it's not my native language that's why maybe.

My point was that once I get the money I could simple send you a defective item or instead of the item a bag of garbage.
With bitcoin alone without using an escrow you're like a sitting duck for scammers with no chance to get your money back.

If You want to make sure that you are using the right things for the right moment you need to make sure that paypal is only used for online payments and btcoins only used for investments.

Paypal has the disadvantages if paypal found shady or illegal activities in your account , your account would be limited temporarily or permanent . But , it has an advantages while the bitcoin not have . You can refund your money with paypal while bitcoin can't do this.
For me , either paypal and bitcoin has their unique features . So it depends by user itself for spending their money and preferred platform to use.

It maybe true that Paypal has some advantages than bitcoin, but bitcoin has a lot of advantages than Paypal. Paypay is not volatile as bitcoin does, Paypal cannot be trade while bitcoin can be trade in exchange site platorm in this industry and many more reason why still choose bitcoin than Paypal.

Bitcoin feels far better to me in the sense that it doesn't identify you in any way, while PayPal is connected to your email and stuff. That said, PayPal has some obvious advantages, including transaction speed and the possibility of reversing a transaction if you have evidence that you are being scammed

I agree with you . Everyone likes to use Bitcoin more because it is completely anonymous in transactions, PayPal is very limited in functionality because it can lock your account if something goes wrong, this will not be good for Big business.

Popularity and facilities owned bitcoin far superior to that provided by paypal. Bitcoin simpler and less troublesome in terms transactions. Yeah, maybe for some services paypal preferred, the rest is bitcoin. I have instead quit completely from using paypal for online transactions, and switching on bitcoin.

I agree with everything what you wrote.
For me Bitcoin is much more trustable just because few times i was scammed via PayPal - and now it is the most important difference from me! Security of transaction and no chargeback!

Paypal is better, but bitcoin is the best, paypal has a customer care that can help you out incase you got scammed or you have issues with your account, with blockchain or bitcoin you’re left with your senses to guide you through every transaction

I agree with you, in every PayPal deal always manages the money you are having, if you encounter any strange PayPal transaction will lock your account to check. I think this makes investors afraid to use PayPal and they switch to Bitcoin

They are different kinds of things. Bitcoin is an asset, a kind of digital gold which has a price. Paypal is just a payment system.
As a payment system paypal is very good, cheap to use and very fast. On the contrary, Bitcoin is slow and highly expensive.

I've personally never had any processing PayPal. I do realize that the charge backs can be extremely annoying to deal with if you're a business. But overall I've never had problems (yet). But bitcoin is obviously a lot more unique and the idea behind bitcoin alone is so much better than PayPal.

The use of Bitcoin as payment in some countries to prove that bitcoin better than Paypal.
We see today many paypal users migrate to bitcoin. in addition to the ease in transacting bitcoin security is also very strong.

When this thread was started in 2015, bitcoin was a currency.
Fast, cheap and anonymous. But now bitcoin has become an investment. The fees are high, transaction times as well.
You can not compare those two anymore. The biggest advantage of a payment with bitcoin is the anonymity.
Other reasons to make a payment with bitcoin I do not see at the moment.

I have been told that don't accept payments via paypal, is that right?
Because when buyer will have his bitcoins then he can claim back money from paypal by saying that i haven't received desired product.

Bitcoin is more better than paypal. In my country which is Philippines, there are many people in my country is more prefer to use the coins.ph which is a bitcoin wallet and it can use to pay the utilities and bills.

I do not experience that lind of thing because I never used PayPalin my life but for me the difference in bitcoins and PayPal is bitcoins gives you freedom on your moeny your savings. Paypal in the pther hand is a bank, and we all know that banks have a lot of process to do before you can do whatever you want to your money. And they are centralized i think and with that thing you cannot do such things with your money without their permission.

PayPal is better for some reason but bitcoins have easier operating than PayPal. You can face many problems in transactions and transferring and exchanging and all that stuff. Like if you come up with any strange business transaction through PayPal then it may be get locked and you are down. Bitcoin is easier and better in many regards.

There is no way bitcoin is better than paypal in terms of security of users, on the bitcoin channel, you can easily get ripped off your cash and would be left with no way of getting your money back, but on paypal the money can still be recalled for you if you have solid proof.

I like both bitcoin and paypal because they are easy to use , I mean easy to have transaction using biput put itcoins and paypal. When I earn bitcoins , I prefer to place it in my wallet like there in blockchain but when I earn dollars I prefer to place it in paypal.

I think Bitcoin is better than Paypal because Bitcoin is anonymous in every transaction, making it more comfortable with Bitcoin trading and no government can control this market. I always choose Bitcoin because I hate using Paypal

The transaction could be anonymous to every users no personal information will be revealed but their bitcoin addresses will not be anonymous. Still i chose bitcoin over paypal because bitcoin has lot of options to choose to when it comes to any services you want. Although they were almost have the same services but i find it less hassle compared to paypal.

That question is very very sad. Probably one of the most dumb questions in the forum :

Is Bitcoin better or WesternUnion ?

With Bitcoin, we don't need Paypal
With Paypal, we will always have need a Bitcoin.

Paypal is not on a blockchain, not also a currency !
Paypal is just a service, a third... An so obsolete thing.
