PayPal or BTC

[mcb1221]

Personally I prefer BTC because it doesn't send your house address and what not via payments, What do you prefer: PayPal or BTC?

Both payment system has different domain , In mathematics we can say Paypal is subset of Bitcoin.

but sometimes it gets annoying when I want to buy something online but they don't accept BTC.

solution to this problem is to buy a bitcoin debit card , add bitcoins to it withdraw $$ from any ATM by deducing a small fee for that exchange.

I prefer bitcoins over PayPal because no need of verifications, can not be hacked, no 21 day holds and no charge backs.

Bitcoin is still the best for me paypal is known but it still got some issue when you are doing a first time transaction and your money will be hold.
Unlike bitcoin the transaction is fast and there is no hassle when taking payments from other users.

you speak in bitcoin forum, it is clear many are choosing bitcoin than paypal

Yup, it just like asking "which is better, Coke or Pepsi?" to the Coca-Cola employees in their office.

It does not mean that they are a fan of their product even though they are a Coca-Cola employees. If you work at Apple, there is still some employees that using their Android phone though they work with Apple.

Of course there is still some of them who don't like the product of their company, but as dhimasnk said "many" of them which is not all of them and not some of them.

Bitcoin is more convinient for me than paypal. Paypal needs your account to be verified unless you are risking your account to be limited while in bitcoin, it only takes a minute to set up a wallet. Also I prefer bitcoin more because it does not have a chargebck option thus dealing with people I yet don't know don't give me a risk that they will chargeback their payment.

BTC's for sure, cheaper and easier to use IMO.

Well, for online shopping of course it's PayPal, not only it is easy to use but the buyers protection makes all the difference, I know of no better payment system for online shopping than PayPal.

As aubert said, there is already another thread. Lock this to prevent spam (though I bet that's your only purpose, seeing how you've already started two spammable topics... Sigh. Anyway, I would like to say that I prefer bitcoins over PayPal, but the problem is that I can use PayPal in more places. Though their support may suck and they have a lot of problems themselves, I can have a more diverse amount of ways to spend money from PayPal. However, when bitcoin reaches the point where PayPal is now, then I will use that. But for now, it's easier to use PayPal over bitcoin.

Bitcoin is still yet to get accepted by more and more merchants in coming days. But i really like to pay via bitcoin and i will search about service accepting bitcoin which i need even i know sites already where i can get those services paying via paypal easily.

Paypal is outdated and if I remember well there was some similar poll and already people gave vote for Bitcoin.Paypal is struggling for survival but the freedom and low cost with decentralization Bitcoin offer PayPal can never reach that level not even in a decade time.

I had PayPal account which I have abandoned for long time.I find Bitcoin the best and reliable way to complete my needs.I have to transfer funds for that purpose I let even banking services in this regard.PayPal's charge back is biggest disadvantage for itself along with many others.

yes you are right the fact is also that they are very slow with it a charge back takes forever.. really hating it.
The bitcoin is much better with their security and can also not get limited..

[Amph]

we have already a thread about this, there are plenty of duplicated thread about the same argument, why you have created another?

it was already said many times thta paypal is not directly comparable because paypal is not money it's a service that offer an escrow

so compare it totthe best bitcoin escrow and not bitcoin itself

[sweeeter]

Bitcoin is better in terms of use, it's more comfortable and easier to use and you don't have the risk of being limited at every transaction, PayPal is better in terms of availability and almost every big merchant site offers it.

[simonloff]

Bitcoin because it's cheaper to use and more customer friendly, Bitcoin is not closed or limiting users for no reason, I think Bitcoin is better than PayPal specially with increased adoption to it.

[richmcrich]

Bitcoins is more easy to use and more supportive community overall IMO, PayPal is more widely used and accepted and userfriendly... BTC is the currency of the future so that's an additional reason to jump on it.

Yeah, bitcoin is easy to use and when creating new wallet on bitcoin, you don't need verification or something like paypal. But in bitcoin you can't get your bitcoin back if you get scammed.

nope. I do not think paypal is a member of the bitcoin. both are clearly different. paypal only payment method. bitcoin is a currency. its different

[pooya87]

this question has an obvious answer: bitcoin
because:
- you are on a bitcoin forum
- bitcoin is faster
- bitcoin is more secure
- you pay way lower fees than paypal.
- and the best reason for the last: Paypal has many ridiculous rules and you have to bend over backwards to obey them, not true with bitcoin

[elvera]

BTC is better than PayPal
