Paypal is growing faster than Bitcoin

The subject here is that between 2014 and 2015, Paypal gained 16 millions new users (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/about). There's no way to be sure as it's impossible to count how many users BTC has, but I believe it's more than BTC. Much more. So I'm asking why? And ultimately, what can be done to reverse this trend?

Since BTC is cheaper to use, I guess Paypal is more successful because it's better at making its users feel safe, without any dark cloud/block size issue above their heads.

I sincerely believe BTC's one hundred times better than Paypal because it's a currency, and unregulated, but something clearly has to change. I've been here long enough to remember guys writing that BTC would kill Paypal, it hasn't, and it doesn't look that it will.

its no wonder,paypal today is more strange than bitcoin,and grow faster,but paypal have some weak,its a verify account problem,so many people confuse about this feature,and bitcoin can resolve this,i wish bitcoin can introduce it self to paypal user,and i hope they are interest. as payment,bitcoin maybe better than paypal,because it more simple,but the price is matter for itself.

This is similar to say: The number of people travel by train is growing faster than number of people travel by car  

which is the train ? paypal ?
I think the notion of Paypal is growing faster than Bitcoin is wrong.
I used is a blogger, and payapl it obligatory, but now many bloggers are turning seek bitcoin, it is the proof

Paypal can grow in different ways but the Bitcoins is totally different because of its benefits and value. The Bitcoins users are getting profits in exchange of Bitcoins. Paypal can do transfers of money only.

[joinal]

both have their respective advantages, there is not owned by paypal or from bitcoin, such as security guarantees for buyers of paypal and anonymity of bitcoin
both are growing well

In a way many people haven't even heard of BTC or they think it's a game. In time BTC will show it's true value, not just monetary.

 So I'm asking why?

Quite simple. Bitcoin just can not be understood and handled by the average person. I understand it. I'd say 99% of the people I know could not understand it, setup a wallet, fund that wallet, spend from that wallet and not lose that wallet.
It is as simple as that.

That is only because PayPal has a lot of more view and attracts a lot more users because of its legal status. Bitcoin growth it is still being delayed by its Darside assossiations

Paypal is much more popular than bitcoin and paypal is almost accepted everywhere, protects the buyer rights etc, bitcoin is new and not always is good for the buyers.

Metaphorically it's a game, and we are winning.

PP is too restrictive and its after all a middleman. There is no way that you can store cash online by yourself, however you can store money online via bitcoin, middleman for bitcoin is optional, not necessary.

This is bitcoin's real advantage, it makes the middleman optional.

Summary for those of you who haven't worked it out yet.

PayPal.
Great for buying on line, offers protection against non-delivery of goods and fraud.

Fiat.
Great for using in the pub, local shop, paying for your mortgage, getting your salary paid in. Etc, etc, etc, etc.

Bitcoin
Good for buying drugs.

[OgNasty]

Measure the growth in %.

Summary for those of you who haven't worked it out yet.

You know thats BS right, you completely dismiss the amount of gambling industry, video games, remittance, online services, investments, etc..

Basically there are much more things for what bitcoin can be used, so dont be too negative on bitcoin.

Just because you can push a brick along the floor with your nose does not make it the quickest way to move it from place to place.

So how many people are paid in paypals and how much is one paypal worth? 

Srsly, this is like saying that AT&T is growing faster than Telephones. 

[chokesir]

Paypal is just an old way of sending money. It's not ok for 2016 where users care about anonimity.
I would rather hope that bitcoin will take the lead in global payments.

You can make a quick google search and see that there are a lot of companies that are accepting BTC and their list is growing slowly but steadily every day.So it's not just for drugs. Also AK-47's. I'm joking of course!

This comparison is quite valid. This is saying that AT&T is getting a bigger share of the market, and this is what's happening with Paypal. it's getting a bigger slice of the pie, meaning that compared to it, BTC is shrinking. No good news, really, but I understand it so well. With the block size issue unsolved, nobody wants to bet on BTC.

i am also believe that bitcoin is better than paypal,but i'm not agree if you said paypal growing faster than bitcoin,because paypal founded early,and bitcoin just need 7 years to make people interesting.

Well about safety of costumers paypal is one of the safiest and trusted than bitcoin because in bitcoin they are many scammers and you cant reverse the transaction its not just like paypal that you can dispute your sent transaction.. and you can made a case..
So safety is always first...

[michnelli6]

Paypal cant be compared to BTC , because BTC gives you easiness while PP sometimes give you headache

agree more with your observation. As a seller i would accept bitcoin quietly, but as a customer i would prefer pay with paypal because I fell 'more' safe paypal as it would refund in case of problems with the transaction
