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.

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

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

[commandrix]

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.

[BTCBinary]

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

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.

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

this never played on superbowl 50

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.

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

[Invulner]

Lol doubt anyone is going to sign up for Paypal.... Once they see Bitcoin they'll all be amazed and attracted to us

And yeah let PP waste their money!

[coinpr0n]

I think the commercial itself is fairly decent. In some ways PayPal is an improvement on the legacy systems. But I agree Bitcoin has much more possibility of actually being revolutionary.

[1Referee]

Most of us say that PayPal is wasting its money on this, but it will help them attract plenty of new custommers. It's quite funny that PayPal is saying they are new money, lol. It's still the same old crappy fiat system but with a new jacket on. That's all.

[romero121]

Its been already posted by someone. Still it seems to be a good commercial ad for their future plans. This can highly increase there achievements as people will be looking forward about the new money

Yeah Paypal is a good idea but not nearly half as innovative as bitcoin is!

Don't worry, it will fail as hard as the rest of the fiat economy one day!

People tend to forget that, bitcoin still need to improved things if we want to use it for mainstream, i hope that core bring us some good solutions for all.

Maybe paypal plan to start accepting bitcoin for his services around the world in the next months... who know?

[countryfree]

Paypal: high fees, single management team, large promotion budget.

BTC: low fees, no clear management, no promotion budget.

So Paypal can afford expensive advertisements while BTC can't. I'm afraid Paypal will keep on growing faster than BTC, even its system is vastly inferior and more expensive. Makes me sad.

Awesome! I was hoping someone would do a remake.

(I'll admit, PayPal's commercial style was really good.)

[Jet Cash]

I didn't think PreyPal was actually money. I thought it was a transfer service that took 6 months for the deal to finalise (because of the risk of chargebacks). There seems to be a series of these ads, and none of them say anything new, apart from the fact that you can use your mobile. It took them a while to catch up on that. I've been able to use payM on my feral account for a while now.
