PayPal doesn't directly accept Bitcoin, but Braintree, a division of PayPal has partnered with Coinbase to accept Bitcoin.

Currently, Bitcoin network processes around 7 transactions per second, while PayPal with an average of 200 tps. In terms of scalability and daily transactions volume, Bitcoin is much far behind PayPal. But apart from being a good store of value, Bitcoin could also be a better decentralized version of PayPal by building second layer payment systems on top of Bitcoin, Lightning Network.

So in future, Bitcoin might be better than PayPal, but again it depends on how users will treat Bitcoin, as a store of value or medium of exchange and the extent of merchant adoption.

[h0lybyte]

Undoubtedly, bitcoin is already better than paypal by its highest demand and even better than other world assets like gold.
People no more like to bear feableness of paypal. Paypal either have to embrace bitcoin as one of their payment method or they must get off sooner.
In just a few years, people will have an option to pay via bitcoin their local shops and the bitcoin will be fully dominating over all payment methods including paypal

i can answer your no 2&3 questions.PAYPAL never accept bitcoin for sure.And I think bitcoin will be better than paypal. but need huge time and huge comunnity supports.But Don't know when it will happen

[boyptc]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

Too early too assume, they won't kill their business.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

Possible but still they have to study that very well on how it can affect their business and service. I'm thinking about PP>bitcoin service, they might do this.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

Yes.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

I hate PayPal for now but comparing the current fees, they are the same.

You cannot say outrightly that bitcoin is better than PayPal without putting it into some perspectives in the sense that currently when it comes to acceptance and integration with other financial institutions, PayPal is still way ahead of bitcoin as its mostly used by all freelancing sites which you can even pay directly to your local bank account without any exchanger.

But when you compare the freedom, bitcoin is better because bitcoin does not discriminate against anybody or nationality as the case of PayPal that would intentionally limit its services to citizens of a particular country.

Why Paypal should accept bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best money transaction medium than any international transfer options. If paypal is there are payment API in any e-store even bitcoin payment API is also can be added that.
Bitcoin is the competitor for Paypal and all over money transaction medium. Since many corporates making money as a business in that way so that is the reason they allowing bitcoin to work in the many countries.

[mrcash02]

To say the truth I don't think it's important. Why do we need to use Paypal if we have Bitcoins that are much better to make transactions? If Paypal is smart they will surely adopt Bitcoin in the future, depending how Bitcoin continue growing, in the next years. At some point they will need Bitcoin to survive as payment method system on the internet, even if it's worthless for many people as Bitcoin is already better than Paypal.

1) Yes, it may happen sooner or later.
2) Yes, 3-7 years is a quite long period of time, so I'd say it's absolutely possible.
3) Paypal is currently cheaper and faster than Bitcoin. The pros of Bitcoin are that it can be anonymous and you can send any amount you want to anyone. Paypal on the contrary has string limits and regulations.
4) As already said, paypal is better only because it is cheaper and faster. On every other aspects Bitcoin is far better...

2) That's very likely going to happen when bitcoin has a wide range of users and the mainstream media keeps on talking about bitcoin only.
3) Yes, because it is decentralized.
4) For now bitcoin fee is quite high so go for PayPal.

[richardsNY]

PayPal doesn't need to implement Bitcoin in its main platform, and for that reason I strongly believe that it will never happen. PayPal serves a certain purpose, which attracts people to use it, and that despite all the complaints of people. I personally find that it focuses too much on the buyer and not really on the selling party, but this business model works perfectly for them, so they have no reason to change it. PayPal is seeing its user base grow continuously year after year, so it's safe to say that they market themselves very well, and that there is a decent amount of demand for their platform. It's not a shocking growth they experience, but it's at least consistent.

I think the future, specifically the next 3 years, Paypal will integrate bitcoin into to do intermediate transactions. This will make Paypal more and more popular. And one day BTC will replace Paypal to become the most popular form of payment in the world 

[owengtam09]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

Nope. It is better if paypal will stay as it is, but as far as I know we can still ise our bitcoin to paypal but will automatically converted into fiat.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

Nope.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

Nope, they are both has a potential and has their own benfits to other people. They have different capabilities.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

For me it's bitcoin since we all know that we can do a lot in bitcoin and we can also trade with bitcoin.

[4p0l4k4y]

Paypal will remain the same and will work better that way. Bitcoin is best because it still remains underground and anonimous. Its like mixing an oil to a water.

[CryptoClown]

I can't see Paypal itself accepting Bitcoin tomorrow or in the near future. Why? It is because for me Paypal lives on its own and doesn't really welcome any change on its platform. Other than that, Paypal charges higher fees so I don't think it'll be good if it accepts Bitcoin on its platform.

it will never happen that paypal accept bitcoin, all I know paypal is very strict I think this is bad idea if they accept bitcoin because maybe it will double the transaction fees,. I better to use bitcoin than paypal because no need to verify your account to send your money I don't know paypal if they still strict verifying account first before sending money.

[Angi]

Sooner or later paypal accept payments from bitcoin why for the good reason bitcoin is the most popular form of payments and bitcoin does not discriminate  anybody and nationality .

[poletando]

i will answer your question with my opinion, all of my answer is full of my opinion
1) no, paypal never accept other currencies into paypal balance, maybe you can exchange it in the exchanger to get USD from bitcoin
2) maybe it is possible but it have a low chance
3) yes bitcoin is better than paypal, in paypal you need to verify your account with Credit card and something else, i know its makes secure but its hardest method if the customer doesn;t have cedit card

[dutchkay]

I don't think PayPal will directly accept bitcoin. It does them no good besides you can't ever compare bitcoin transaction with that of PayPal. So it's a no go go.

[BitcoinDiamond]

Paypal is the direct competitor of Bitcoin so not a chance in hell. Bitcoin is designed to be peer-to-peer effectively making PayPal services absolutely redundant if it became mainstream.

[Nevis]

This may happen in the future maybe even bigger news will come and bigger companies will accepts bitcoins as a legal payment for their service,but looking at it right now seems impossible since bitcoins potential is not enough to work with this such big things

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

1) Of course it will happen, in my opinion everyone will accept bitcoin once it will be popular enough.
2) It might need up to 10 years for that, depends on how many people will actually want to use bitcoins as a currency.
3) It will be better because of smaller fees and privacy.
4. Currently paypal is better because you can't use bitcoin to pay anywhere, i hope it will change soon

1- No. Because BTC and PP are 2 competitor payment processors.
2- It's impossible, will never happen.
3- Bitcoin is already better. However altcoins are better than BTC in lower transaction fees and faster confirmations.
4- For now BTC is better. BTC is a newer technology than PP. Altcoins are newer than BTC.

[1Referee]

3- Bitcoin is already better. However altcoins are better than BTC in lower transaction fees and faster confirmations.

Altcoins have lower overall transaction fees because their network doesn't experience much usage (if any at all). It's not that long ago where people were referring to Ethereum as being the Bitcoin killer, but yet it failed miserably in that aspect. Due to an insane amount of usage, its fees have shot up significantly, and its network experienced various major difficulties. No chance.

4- For now BTC is better. BTC is a newer technology than PP. Altcoins are newer than BTC.

What is that for logic? It all depends on how and in what scenario you use one of these two options. PayPal functions very well as platform for people to transact with each other, buy stuff, etc. Bitcoin severely lacks in that aspect. Bitcoin is better in other aspects, but not in the aspects PayPal enjoys most of its usage.

[batang_bitcoin]

This may happen in the future maybe even bigger news will come and bigger companies will accepts bitcoins as a legal payment for their service

Very possible to happen, not only considering PayPal but as well as facebook,youtube, google and other any popular websites and services.

but looking at it right now seems impossible since bitcoins potential is not enough to work with this such big things

It's because there's still a big debate on what coin to support for miners but if everyone of us will be only supporting one coin and bitcoin only marketplace this is going to happen in no time.

[BillCoin]

It is impossible for paypal to accept bitcoins at the current state of crypto currencies.

Currently, bitcoin and other digital assets are unregulated, as long as they remain unregulated,it will be impossible for regulated companies to keep it(there is a difference between accepting bitcoins through a 3rd company such as bitpay, which converts the bitcoins at the payment time, and between accepting bitcoins and keeping them, which shows that you believe in the currency for the long term).

Paypal can't touch bitcoin as long as it remains unregulated, we need to lead a regulation if we want paypal to consider accepting bitcoins as a sort of deposit.

[Twinkledoe]

I can't see Paypal itself accepting Bitcoin tomorrow or in the near future. Why? It is because for me Paypal lives on its own and doesn't really welcome any change on its platform. Other than that, Paypal charges higher fees so I don't think it'll be good if it accepts Bitcoin on its platform.

You have a point there. But if PayPal will not welcome change especially now that cryptocurrencies are starting to have their own niche in the digital world, they will be left behind. Though if you will think of it, bitcoin is one of their competitors with how transactions are made. But I think later on, they will be integrating bitcoin. But how? I don't know the answer yet... It's just like banks vs. bitcoin, now, banks are starting to accept bitcoin deposits, and starting to utilize the blockchain in their operations.

If you say facebook, google or even ebay accept bitcoin i will agree with you. Paypal will never accept bitcoin because paypal is forbidden exchange other virtual currency in the rule of paypal.
At the moment, I see paypal is still better bitcoin because paypal is accepting anywhere but in the future bitcoin will better

[Granxis]

In the global marketplace, rivalries can be friendly for a day, there are many examples. Apple and Samsung look like competitors, they can act jointly. But I think Paypal is a finished company.

[Dr.Osh]

would be great for paypal if receiving bitcoin. but, I think paypal will not accept bitcoin. well, basically paypal is a bitcoin rival, and is the most trusted dollar depository on the internet. I think it will happen for a very long time

[cryptosharkk]

I think Paypal will never accept bitcoins, cause then will be so many issues with refunds. Thats my opinion.

[barota]

i think paypal never accept bitcoin now or in future ,
for me bitcoin better than paypal . fast and easy for exchange and small fee
but for shopping paypal better

[777Bitcoin]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

Eventually it will but we need a push and more advertising to bitcoin for PayPal to knows the demand of its clients.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

That’s is precisely possible but a 3 years from now is too early a 5-7 years might be the date.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

You mean usd than bitcoin, if yes then I’m sure with that. Bitcoin is way more better than a fiat currency that is controlled by corrupt system.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

I do use both but minimally on PayPal, I’m more of a bitcoin user now. I’m more feel freedom using cryptocurrency than a much detailed transaction with PayPal that must be legally binding.

[Qorio]

When banks start to accept BTC, PayPal will follow

[Yukyzu]

bitcoin is the strongest today and hunted and used very much  as a means of payment online can even be received in various currency exchange in various countries. bitcoin has exceeded paypal

[krisnt80]

Paypal is legalized worlwide company wich provides fiat service to exchange and pay to any product with safety to seller and buyer. Bitcoin for other side isaccepted worlwide for a few people, most merchants avoid it, and isnt legalized, only Japan has legalized it. Currently at some point bitcoin transactions are becoming more expensive then paypal, soo its possible into the future bitcoin becames legalized and accepted into paypal, but the run of low fees transactions bitcoin will loose to paypal.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

1) No it will not, because Paypal hates bitcoins and they do not work well together. There is no reason why paypal would accept it in the near future.
2) Again, no. It is impossible.
3) It is already. Paypal is not good for the sellers since chargebacks are quite easy to do. However, bitcoins are good for sellers and bad for buyers since the transaction is irreversible. It would be hard to compel the seller to give back the money. This could be mitigated though if there would be an escrow.
4) BTC of course.

[BitHodler]

bitcoin is the strongest today and hunted and used very much  as a means of payment online can even be received in various currency exchange in various countries. bitcoin has exceeded paypal

Bitcoin at this point has only surpassed PayPal in terms of value moved from one place to another, and that's really it. It mainly comes from the fact that Bitcoin's price has literally exploded in value this year.

Aside from that one thing, PayPal is still leading over Bitcoin. PayPal stimulates people to spend money due to the convenience and usability that it offers, where we have to keep its world wide acceptance in mind as well.

Being a Bitcoin enthusiast is fine and all, but there is no need to exaggerate its current reach. Bitcoin has a lot of catching up to do, and that will take some time. And even if it did, the volatility plays an important role as well.

[sunsilk]

When banks start to accept BTC, PayPal will follow

They will at some point and yes they are quite dependent to the banks.

It's quite early for now to assume that PayPal will accept bitcoin but there are good speculations out there that there is really a possibility.

Will try them out if they are now into bitcoin but so far I think they are still studying on how they can adjust their service together with bitcoin.

[oegarod]

PayPal is a technology marvel, similar to that is our bitcoin. Both differ based on the platform which makes them effective. Long back itself Peter Thiel of PayPal said, if he has known about bitcoin before PayPal he could have used it for all sort of transactions. Also said based on the necessity might incorporate the bitcoin into PayPal for usage in the future.

[jekjekey]

Paypal accept btc for any transactions was good paypal makes transactions fast and better easiest way to provide your needs because of paypal they have atm now and simple to transacts btc converted your earnings it will possible.

[supercanada1]

bitcoin is the strongest today and hunted and used very much  as a means of payment online can even be received in various currency exchange in various countries. bitcoin has exceeded paypal

Yeah it is the currency of the year and the bitcoin is now being more and more famous to have the huge potential as the currency and the money now a lot of the malls are selling the goods just for the bitcoin and it has the source of the bitcoin buying and the bitcoin shopping so if you are having the bitcoin and you want to use the bitcoin online shopping it is not very tough and the sites will give you the best source for it.

1. No, I don't see any reasons why Paypal would accept bitcoin and I would rather see that they are in competition.

2. No, I would rather believe that paypal would accept any other e-currencies which is centralized or being created by government.

3.No one knows since we do able to see that bitcoin isn't been known yet globally unlike on tradition paypal.

4. They do have their own path way but when it comes on tradition payment system being used by people online then paypal is well known.

[frances21co]

Never never never, there is no reason why a bank based service should accept the technology that will destroy banks

[yanlap]

Never never never, there is no reason why a bank based service should accept the technology that will destroy banks

Yes and it will happen because now a lot of the banks are even accepting the bitcoin and it is the reason why the bitcoin is helping the people to save the future and if he banks and the paypal will accept the bitcoin it will increase the bitcoin value and the price to some more extent I am use to with the bitcoin and it is just because I am having the information and the knowledge so I think it is the good news of the year now.

You can expect anything to happen in the future. I am very much sure that this will happen and that too in very near future. There is nothing impossible in this world. You should always hope for the best. Bitcoin is definitely far better than that of PayPal. It will help you in living a comfortable life and you’ll be able to earn a very good amount of money by investing in bitcoin.

[Domenc]

I think subject of thread should be changed to "Future of Bitcoin in PayPal" as the subject "PayPal accept Bitcoin" makes one think that PayPal has started accepting Bitcoin as payment method which is not true. Clearly, because PayPal thinks Bitcoin as a rival and also commented against Bitcoin whenever they got chance to diminish its value. I think PayPal will try every method to stay away from Bitcoin but with increase in demand they may need to change their plans and integrate Bitcoin as payment method.

1 until now, paypal never announcement or update news statement about bitcoin
2 i think very dificult paypal accepted bitcoin, bitcoin competitor and bitcoin still not yet regulation in big country china or USA, if paypal accepted can big problem about money laundry
3 this now bitcoin is above paypal, but about transaction in online store, paypal still above bitcoin, because all big market place sample ebay accepted paypal,
4 point 4 is ready answer in point 3

1) I don't think this will happen any time soon. If it does, I think paypal will end up fining it because it's not in their best interest to hold bitcoin.
2) It's possible that if bitcoin gains some higher ground and it's a lot less volatile that Paypal would accept it, but I don't think that will happen soon. Maybe by 5 years? Not too sure right now.
3) I don't think Paypal is better than bitcoin, but I do believe that paypal has a larger user base, and it will have a larger userbase as long as fiat exists.
4) For now, Paypal is better if you're using fiat and it's accepted much more widely than bitcoin is. Bitcoin is better if you're looking for much more of an investment.

Yes it is also what I think since reading this thread, there is a writing error that might make some people wrong thinking. Back to the point that Bitcoin is currently developing and Paypal I think is very different from Bitcoin, it can be said that paypal is a method to send money and Bitcoin is money. This is to be understood, If paypal received Bitcoin of course this is a big improvement because Paypal has considered Bitcoin like the current currency. this can increase popularity and trust in Bitcoin. We all know that currently PayPal is one of the largest market in online financial transactions, If bitcoin can be integrated then both Can get market share that is increasingly widespread. Paypal and Bitcoin will be equally profitable. Paypal will have more users and Bitcoin will have a positive price increase. I would suspect that It will be one of the greatest momentum that occurs in the era of digital transactions. It will be history that will determine the future.

[cpfreeplz]

I doubt it. Paypal is all about charge backs and being closed-source. They would never want the opposite. Elon Musk would have a fit if someone ever brought this up to him. Paypal is for the banks to remain in control but through a veil. It's win-win for them.

[voztata]

Paypal is the direct competitor of Bitcoin so not a chance in hell. Bitcoin is designed to be peer-to-peer effectively making PayPal services absolutely redundant if it became mainstream.

I think PayPal was first to be released before Bitcoin was released, though I’m not quite sure about that. There are lots of people who trusts PayPal, so I don’t see anyway for Bitcoin to really compete with it. I think we should just mind our own business here on bitcoin, while PayPal fans mind theirs.

[faithupgrade]

Just wanna answer some of your questions. First Bitcoin has already surpassed the paypal markup so BTC is huge and better.
I dont think Paypal will accept BTC,  never. Bitcoin is a direct competitor and a threat to them to them.

Paypal will remain the same and will work better that way. Bitcoin is best because it still remains underground and anonimous. Its like mixing an oil to a water.

Exactly! There is no need of doing such kind of thing. I don’t really think so that PayPal have started accepting bitcoin. Infact, there are less likely chances of this thing to happen. I personally think that this is not a good idea. Like you said, it is same as mixing of oil and water. There is nothing profitable you are going to get in return by doing so and I don’t think so that this will ever happen.

[wjchong]

Yes,No wonder if we will see many websites including paypal are accepting Bitcoins in future. Bitcoin is become more famous nowadays. Who knows Bitcoin will become better than paypal in future. 

[ASHLIUSZ]

PayPal as a payment gateway might get associated with bitcoin in the future for business purpose, but already it has developed its own platform and has gained support from users worldwide through its cross border transaction service with ease. Bitcoin is beyond PayPal, but the uncertainty makes people believe PayPal though bitcoin provides with a growth that is unachievable by PayPal.

[bob123]

1) Honestly, i don't think paypal will ever accept bitcoin. Actually paypal has quite good reasons for bitcon not to get adopted too much.
2) It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. Especially with such a "new" market/system like BTC. But basically i don't think this will happen.
3) This basically depends on what your standards are. If you focus on privacy/pseudonymity then BTC is definetly already better than paypal.
If you are looking for fast payments with low fees.. paypal is (currently) better in this case. But with paypal you have to trust a company to keep your money.
4) Thats why BTC (for me) is better than paypal. I rather pay some higher fees and wait 10-30 mins, but instead i (and only i) am in control of my money.

[1Referee]

bitcoin provides with a growth that is unachievable by PayPal.

There is no point into expecting anything from PayPal other than just offering people a pleasant payment experience. PayPal is nothing more than a platform allowing people to transact with their fiat currencies with certain additional features, and that's really it. PayPal is just one of the plenty financial services allowing people to fully utilize fiat on a global scale, which is something Bitcoin by far can't achieve right now. In order to make Bitcoin be fully usable as currency tool, we'll definitely need Lightning Network. It allows people to bypass current high fees, and also confirmation times - these two aspects are something currently preventing Bitcoin from being fully utilized in that aspect.

[zikabra]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

No, i don't think so, paypall is somehow against bitcoin but who knows. Maybe in future.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

Nothing is impossible, but to be honest with you we can't say what will happen to bitcoin in next 3 years.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

Bitcoin is currency and paypal is service for online payment. Can't compare those two.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

3) Yes it is actually,  in bitcoins you are in control with your own wallet, you can't be banned, you can send any amount you want, no need to id verification and etc.
4) BTC obviously, Paypal is prone to hacking and it was a pain in my ass just leaving my money in it because sometimes my pp balance disappears

[sangwookie]

For speed of transaction, I think that Litecoin or Ethereum would be better or Paypal will make their own coin. I'm sure that Paypal has the technology to make their own coin and their connections with the Feds and the banks would make it easy for them to change funds around the world. I'm sure that Paypal could even make their own exchange and could disrupt the market.

[vincentallstar]

I think it will happen sooner, paypal accept bitcoin. Impossible but let's see in the next few years what's going to happen.

[darewaller]

Paypal accept btc for any transactions was good paypal makes transactions fast and better easiest way to provide your needs because of paypal they have atm now and simple to transacts btc converted your earnings it will possible.

One thing you should know is this– Bitcoin is Bitcoin, while PayPal is real currencies, for example dollars, euros and the rest of them. When it comes to transaction, I think PayPal is faster than bitcoin because transactions are made with email and are instant, while Bitcoin takes 10 – 60 minutes with priority fees (not instant). And for whether PayPal will accept bitcoin, I don’t think that will ever happen, it will be a spoiler for them. And for which of them is better– that I can’t really tell, because I like the both of them. But PayPal is widely accepted.

[Shannykhan44]

Via the PayPal Payment’s Hub merchants could use customizable APIs to integrate Bitcoin into their shops for digital goods. At the time, it released a video hinting at Bitcoin integration.
Whether or not PayPal will pursue a more aggressive Bitcoin policy has yet to be seen.  In 2014, weighing in already on Bitcoin currency regulations, the company told the Australian Senate:

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

PayPal and bitcoin what a combination that can be happen soon.. We can’t make assumptions on how many years from now but as long as we base this to it’s faster adaptation to the internet markets then a 5 year and beloe this actions may take effect in due time.. I know than bitcoin is better if to be used in PayPal but to have an options with usd is still necessary..

[MotulDiesel]

In general, bitcoin has no advantage to face to paypal in many side as popularity, trust or conveniences. If paypal accepts bitcoin as a real money and allows user exchage bitcoin through paypal, it will very easy for all people who have difficulties in exchanging because so many countries ban bitcoin as a illegal money. Therefore, i hope in near future (2-3 next years) paypal will accept bitcoin so we can use bitcoin easier.

[OuterTech]

I think paypal will accept Bitcoin very soon. For now Paypal still has some sides better than BTC, for example when you use paypal to send money but unfortunately you send it to wrong account but with paypal you still can take it back but with Bitcoin it's impossible to take your money back ). For now, IMO Btc is better than PP cause I can easily exchange Bitcoin into cash but with Paypal it's a little bit more difficult and the fee is really high.

Each money transfer media has its own advantages and disadvantages. as well as Bitcoin and paypal, many people who feel comfortable using bitcoin and some are more comfortable to use paypal. if paypal is true to receive Bitcoin then it will be a major breakthrough, there will be an increase in paypal users because with it then the process of paypal deposit transactions will be more widespread.

[richardsNY]

For speed of transaction, I think that Litecoin or Ethereum would be better or Paypal will make their own coin. I'm sure that Paypal has the technology to make their own coin and their connections with the Feds and the banks would make it easy for them to change funds around the world. I'm sure that Paypal could even make their own exchange and could disrupt the market.

PayPal transactions are instant if you use your balance, so how exactly are the altcoins you mentioned faster in this aspect? Nothing beats in-system transactions. Also, PayPal doesn't need to create its own coin because it's based on fiat to move back and forth within their ecosystem. And even if they did create their own coin, it will never have any actual impact on Bitcoin's market, which basically goes up for governments coming up with their own digital currency as well. Bitcoin's market has its own characteristics that makes people interested in it, and then I'm mainly referring to the growth potential and the fact that there is no central authority in place.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

1) No, its not quite possible anytime soon
2) Yes but it depends more of on what is the opinion of rest of the world regarding cryptos
3) When bitcoin is able to reduce its transaction times and fees.
4) Depends upon the thing you have decided to buy. For legal transactions ofcourse paypal is better.

[Ikay]

I think its posible that paypal accept bitcoin, but PayPal transactions are instant if you use your balance but it depends upon the thing you have decided to buy. For legal transactions ofcourse paypal is better.

[HariTaj]

Maybe it'll happen or maybe not. I think we need to wait a little bit more to see what will happen but I think Paypal will accept Bitcoin if there are any country will legalize Bitcoin as their local currency.

[Bigbangcrazy]

Braintree is owned by PayPal so I believe you would have to integrate with them: https://www.braintreepayments.com/

[sana54210]

1) Honestly, i don't think paypal will ever accept bitcoin. Actually paypal has quite good reasons for bitcon not to get adopted too much.
2) It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. Especially with such a "new" market/system like BTC. But basically i don't think this will happen.
3) This basically depends on what your standards are. If you focus on privacy/pseudonymity then BTC is definetly already better than paypal.
If you are looking for fast payments with low fees.. paypal is (currently) better in this case. But with paypal you have to trust a company to keep your money.
4) Thats why BTC (for me) is better than paypal. I rather pay some higher fees and wait 10-30 mins, but instead i (and only i) am in control of my money.

I am even still trying to capture my head around why PayPal really need to accept bitcoin. The essence of PayPal is to serve as an intermediary between transactions while connected to your bank.

Except if PayPal is going to work in such a way that they can serve as an exchange like some other services like coinbase and Luno in some places already do, then I do not really see why they have to accept bitcoin unless I am missing the point here.

PayPal doesn’t work with/accept Bitcoin, they will probably be kicking against that. I’m sure they are accepting Payoneer, and someone once told me that you can verify and use your Payoneer debit card to be withdrawing funds from your PayPal wallet. So I believe if you have Bitcoin debit card issued out by companies like Xapo, Bitpay, Coinbase and the rest of them, it might possible to verify them and use them to withdraw money from your PayPal wallet. Not sure about, I’m just saying.

[silentdth]

they're conflict to each other. so I think paypal will not support bitcoin.

btw, maybe an altcoin (like utrust) can replace paypal in future

[TTITA]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

1-2. Nothing impossible in business
3. Will means in future, so if paypal accept bitcoins, means this technology better than paypal.
4. For now, Paypal still better. From some data news, paypal can handle 193 tx/sec average. PayPal handled 6.1 billion transactions in 2016. For Bitcoins which using block technology, for now its can handle about 7 tx/sec only.

I think it will surely happen that PayPal will include bitcoin transaction and storage into it as it is also knowing and will to get a prat of its huge success by looking at its increasing value. PayPal may start accepting bitcoin in coming years as many big companies have already announced their usage and inclement of bitcoin in their services.

Bitcoin is still better than PayPal and the is no doubt in this as bitcoin has a value of $7000 now which is too high and it has already reached some new heights now.

[Digital Delivery]

Paypal will never accept BTC, bocz many countries had banned Bitcoin trading. 

[ashaksagnis]

Paypal will never accept BTC, bocz many countries had banned Bitcoin trading. 

But Many countries banned paypal. Maybe someday paypal will accept bitcoins but not in third countries where paypal is banned like -
Iran
Iraq
Syria
Sudan

[maimainguyen05]

In my opinion this case is totally possible. It'll be happened soon when Bitcoin will be legalized worldwide or only in few big countries like US or Germany. But I think it'll take really long time to legalize Bitcoin because of its disadvantages

[dawer49]

PayPal doesn't directly accept Bitcoin, but Braintree, a division of PayPal has partnered with Coinbase to accept Bitcoin.

Currently, Bitcoin network processes around 7 transactions per second, while PayPal with an average of 200 tps. In terms of scalability and daily transactions volume, Bitcoin is much far behind PayPal. But apart from being a good store of value, Bitcoin could also be a better decentralized version of PayPal by building second layer payment systems on top of Bitcoin, Lightning Network.

So in future, Bitcoin might be better than PayPal, but again it depends on how users will treat Bitcoin, as a store of value or medium of exchange and the extent of merchant adoption.

Yeah. I agree with you. At now,  bitcoin is better than paypal. Braintree (one division of paypal) just took right way. Most of people has choosen to invest to bitcoin for much money. So, paypal must adapted this situation if they won't bankrupt.

[malikusama]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

I don't think so because bitcoin itself is an alternate payment method and somehow better than paypal.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

Although nothing is impossible but the probability of happening this is very very low.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

Not will be but bitcoin is better than paypal in many ways.

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

I never believe that Paypal is better than bitcoin but for now BTC is not accepted in most of the online stores so paypal is not a bad choice for now.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?

1. It bound to happen , it might not be bitcoin but the blockchain technology is here to stay and it would be a major boost for paypal should they accept bitcoin payments.

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

3-7 years why not, all paypal needs is probably bitcoin being legalized.

3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?

its likely going to be unpopular among buyers as transactions are irreversibly

4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

Seller= bitcoin is better
Buyer= Paypal is better but should it have some sort of escrow in place bitcoin will be the best!

[katiecbell]

Paypal is the direct competitor of Bitcoin so not a chance in hell. Bitcoin is designed to be peer-to-peer effectively making PayPal services absolutely redundant if it became mainstream.

In the global marketplace, rivalries can be friendly for a day, there are many examples. Apple and Samsung look like competitors, they can act jointly. But I think Paypal is a finished company.

In the near future all the big companies will start accepting bitcoin as their payments. It is good that PayPal has started accepting bitcoin as their payments and they are trading in bitcoin because they know the importance of bitcoin and they have realized that bitcoin is the future currency and all the people in the world will use bitcoin as their legal and regular currency for their day to day needs.

[Aleister Crowley]

1) I think to realize this will be a bit difficult because paypal I do not think will include a bitcoin payment method
2) it seems that in the next 3-10 years this will not happen, but if over 10 years and bitcoin users the stronger paypal will probably consider it ..
3) I myself still use bitcoin and have not been interested to use paypal
4) to date btc is still the main choice of many people

[bearexin]

they're conflict to each other. so I think paypal will not support bitcoin.

btw, maybe an altcoin (like utrust) can replace paypal in future

It is true the bitcoin is now being support by the people who have invested in the bitcoin and they are trying to make the high profit with the bitcoin in the small investment so I want to say that it is not possible. If you are not willing to have the money and you are interested in buying the bitcoin you should buy the bitcoin and hold for the long time I am sure the bitcoin profit will be high with the time.

[CryptoX006]

In the future almost every seller/website will accept Bitcoin, it's just inevitable! So yes, also Paypal.

[theagorist]

I'm more curious about when Coinbase will start offering dollar transfers like Paypal? That's a much easier transition than going to crypto.

[GoodLuck2]

You are right this is the time to increase the value of the bitcoin now it is not impossible because the bitcoin is having the high value and the demand so the bitcoin is now getting famous and the other sites are also approaching the bitcoin. if the paypal will use the bitcoin it will make the bitcoin more famous and off course more people will buy and more companies will use  the bitcoin it is the main thing in the bitcoin now.

[dogandogru]

1) No, I feel paypal is good with dollars.
2) No, I don't think so. I mean its not needed. BTC transaction itself so simple and can be transferred across whole globe.
3) IF BTC reduces Fees then it can easily grab Paypal market.
4) PP is better coz it legally approved.

[lvincent]

I think this is possible to happen that paypal accepts bitcoin just look at bitcoin now paypal will benefits a lot too if they accept bitcoin
3-7 years yup it's possible as long as bitcoin is finally recognized by the government and recommend it for mass adoption
Yup both bitcoin and paypal will be much better with each other
Right now in terms of transaction i think paypal is still much better but i use bitcoin as my asset so it's good too.

[CreatePrivateServer]

1) No
2) No
3) Bitcoin is better than PayPal. Because I was once a Victim
4) BTC

[Granxis]

In my opinion this case is totally possible. It'll be happened soon when Bitcoin will be legalized worldwide or only in few big countries like US or Germany. But I think it'll take really long time to legalize Bitcoin because of its disadvantages

Bitcoin 's full legalization will not last long, because it will never be fully legalized. World countries do not yet have a consensus on crypto money, in fact most countries do not even have an idea.

[ralle14]

No, I don't think so. I mean its not needed. BTC transaction itself so simple and can be transferred across whole globe.
 IF BTC reduces Fees then it can easily grab Paypal market.
 PP is better coz it legally approved.

Right, we can just exhange funds with other users for this kind of matter. For those paypal merchant out there, they can just use a payment processor that accepts bitcoin. The problem we are facing right now are the fees and the confirmation times there are times that the network is overloaded with transaction but it's not permanent.

Imo bitcoin is better if you are the type of person that doesn't have a credit/debit card. Both bitcoin and paypal has their positives and negatives.

Do you think this is possible? Guys is it?

[tabas]

Do you think this is possible? Guys is it?

Yes bitcoin being accepted by PayPal is possible to happen. We just have to wait for their proper announcement since many will prefer to get into bitcoin since it's an all in all type of currency, investment and at the same time  a payment sender and receiver.

[Bunsomjelican]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

- I don't think that Paypal is accepting Bitcoin, but it could be some of the Paypal users are accepting Bitcoin as payment, but I think there are only few of them doing this things.

- We don't know what will happen in the next 3 to 7 years from now, but it maybe not or maybe.

- Bitcoin 100% is better than paypal because of its volatility, and features it has and very useful usages of bitcoin for the users.

- It is still bitcoin was better than PP.

[gilangIDR]

Do you think this is possible? Guys is it?

Yes bitcoin being accepted by PayPal is possible to happen. We just have to wait for their proper announcement since many will prefer to get into bitcoin since it's an all in all type of currency, investment and at the same time  a payment sender and receiver.

This can be realized if many parties support. Bitcoin is still not able to enter various sectors because there are some regulations that block bitcoin. Examples are government-regulated regulations, to date many governments of a country still dare not support bitcoin. And when bitcoin can get support from various parties then things like that can be realized easily. The possibility of various e-commerce sectors will be able to apply bitcoin very easily. We must work hard and convince the government to be able to open the opportunities that exist.

Those governments that doesn't want to support bitcoin are afraid of what bitcoin can do to them so instead of supporting it, they are making their own move just to get with what's happening. Like making their own coin and others are just spreading false news so citizens will not invest on it. But if more and more companies starts to accept bitcoin like PayPal, there will be a big change.

[Gameflip ICO]

No, it is even banning users who uses cryptocurrency with PayPal account.

[richardsNY]

Like making their own coin and others are just spreading false news so citizens will not invest on it.

They will never have any impact on Bitcoin or other crypto currencies. State issued currencies are always tied to the broken financial system with all its negative aspects. At most people only gain more convenience when using a state issued crypto currency compared to how they used fiat prior to that. Some people here still don't understand that, and for that reason believe that if PayPal or a government issues its own currency, it will make our current crypto's obsolete. They completely ignore why crypto, and especially Bitcoin attracts so much attention, praise and actual usage. It all comes down to a lacking knowledge.

[Sadlife]

Well in terms in transaction volume with bitcoin 7 transaction per second compared to paypal's 200 transaction per second bitcoin is far behind but bitcoin now a days is not for transactions but more like an asset to store your money for long term profit. Also bitcoin's demand is increasing rapidly it may not be as good as an payment processor but it is a goos investment.

[Dr.Osh]

I think it's possible. but for now, there are no signs for it yet. Currently, PayPal has become a bank that is recognized on the internet. while bitcoin, is just an investment tool. maybe paypal can take advantage of bitcoin by considering bitcoin as an investment tool like gold. but, it should be with clear data.

[BigBossUSA]

They're totally different systems in my opinion. I don't think it will accept it anytime soon.

[SupportBitcoin]

PayPal doesn't directly accept Bitcoin, but Braintree, a division of PayPal has partnered with Coinbase to accept Bitcoin.

So in future, Bitcoin might be better than PayPal, but again it depends on how users will treat Bitcoin, as a store of value or medium of exchange and the extent of merchant adoption.

This is very good information. Paypal kind of accepts Bitcoin in its own way through Braintree. There will be a time that Bitcoin will need to be an accepted form of payment for all goods and services.

[CryptoGoddess]

I am not a huge fan of Paypal and only use them when I definitely have to. I've had a run in with them in the past as a merchant and they were very unfair with the way they handled the situation. They will suspend your account and hold your funds etc without much of an explanation, well at least that was my experience with them a few days ago, I don't know if they've changed the way they operate. I personally wouldn't encourage anyone to store their BTC there if they did provide that option in the future as it would be much too risky.

[sulendra12]

No, it is even banning users who uses cryptocurrency with PayPal account.

Yeah Paypal not allowed you to exchange money to Bitcoin through paypal, it's against their ToS. Even though, we have seen in here there are still people exchange Paypal to Bitcoin in this forum.

[blckhawk]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

Regarding on which better for now PP or BTC, PP is more better in daily transaction because paypal has been used for a long time while BTC is much better on transaction such as trading and investment because of its voltality and anonymity. And about if paypal will accept bitcoin next 3-7 years, I think it is possible because bitcoin now is becoming more popular and few of them are prefer to use it in their transaction.

[sandpiper]

In the near future all the big companies will start accepting bitcoin as their payments. It is good that PayPal has started accepting bitcoin as their payments and they are trading in bitcoin because they know the importance of bitcoin and they have realized that bitcoin is the future currency and all the people in the world will use bitcoin as their legal and regular currency for their day to day needs.

With a fee of 0.000339 BTC per median transaction size of 226 bytes is hard to believe that bitcoin will be ever used by big companies (eg. McDonald's) for small payments.  

[psmachado]

I don't think paypal will acept bitcoin, i think it can exist in the future a rival of paypal like bitpal, btcpal, or something just for bitcoins, with a card, payshop deposit etc... I think we are closer to ebay or amazon acept bitcoin...

[BitHodler]

With a fee of 0.000339 BTC per median transaction size of 226 bytes is hard to believe that bitcoin will be ever used by big companies (eg. McDonald's) for small payments.  

It's just a matter of waiting for lightning network to be in public operational condition. When that happens, the currency aspect of Bitcoin will get its use and appreciation that it deserves.

It will be an ultimate form of incentive for people to spend their coins, where they now complain that they don't spend any because of the fees and confirmation times. I however doubt that people miraculously will start spending.

People will always know that when they spend Bitcoin, that they very likely will miss out on further profits due to this market that doesn't stop with increasing, and honestly speaking, we can't blame them for thinking like that.

[Exodia1808]

Sooner or later, I think Bitcoin will be accepted all over the world if Amazon is really going to accept Bitcoin for payment in there market and Paypal will not be the exception

[bitconeitor]

only one answer for your 4 questions: forget paypal, just use uphold or airtm.

[ZachKing]

Might be. But I think we need to wait a little bit more cause I think Paypal will only accept Bitcoin for payment when Bitcoin legalized in any country all over the world. For now Bitcoin is still not legalized in any country yet so I think at the moment this case is not going to happen but it'll be happened soon.

[MTCNer93]

I think paypal will accept Bitcoin soon when Bitcoin would be legalized in any country. As I think for now Bitcoin is better than Paypal already

[Tuanken897]

I think Paypal will accept Bitcoin
Because Bitcoin and other coins are the future trend.
So, Paypal will improve itself to develop

[AldenGreen]

Bitcoin is better than paypal transaction fees, security and accessibility of your wallet, but if PayPal accept bitcoin transaction i will try and check if it worthy.

[Mitchpie]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?

For now, I use Paxful to buy and sell thru PayPal.

[tricker01]

I think Paypal will accept Bitcoin
Because Bitcoin and other coins are the future trend.
So, Paypal will improve itself to develop

As I see PayPal are desperately wants to have a connection to crypto currency to become famous in digital world. Also digital currency now are much healthy condition in the real world so I think they used it by the PayPal to survive in the future.

[ausbit]

Bitcoin is better than paypal transaction fees, security and accessibility of your wallet, but if PayPal accept bitcoin transaction i will try and check if it worthy.

First, Bitcoin and PayPal can never be business partners, and there’s a reason for that. PayPal is a payment processor, and was made for the purpose of transaction online with use of various currency. Bitcoin is different, and is not a payment processor.

It’s just a virtual currency and it’s own its own, and its price always varies in comparison with real currencies, and it has no stable price rate.But bitcoin offers some nice features like lesser fees for transactions.

[deddod]

I think soon paypal will also receive Bitcoin. and if paypal working with Bitcoin will be a very profitable cooperation.
if compared to paypal with Bitcoin I would say that Bitcoin is superior to Paypal.
 

[djangocoin]

They may do in the future like you say.. but is hard to say really, they probably view it as more of a competitor to them at this point

i can answer your no 2&3 questions.PAYPAL never accept bitcoin for sure.And I think bitcoin will be better than paypal. but need huge time and huge comunnity supports.But Don't know when it will happen

yeah your right.paypal wont ever accept bitcoin because they
are two different things with almost same offer to user.paypal maybe
faster than bitcoin transaction but bitcoin has lots to offer.and some
PayPal partners are making business to other crypto exchange because
they know that bitcoin has a better future than paypal

[kateryana81]

4) Thats why BTC (for me) is better than paypal. I rather pay some higher fees and wait 10-30 mins, but instead i (and only i) am in control of my money.

Well, PayPal having an exchange is one thing that we may expect later on and I won’t be surprised. They have always had the name and the platform that has been working in years.

However, PayPal accepting bitcoin directly is something that I do not really see the necessity as that would be to what extent? Bitcoin is workable with wallet to wallet transaction which totally eliminates PayPal in the equation and except PayPal comes in as an exchange, they are not useful in the bitcoin ecosystem.

Yes, PayPal and bitcoin function on two entirely different platform. Some feel bitcoin to be good and some for the payback options prefer PayPal. PayPal might get associated with bitcoin in the future when technology makes a big change in the entire growth happening around the globe.

[aencarnaci]

In general, bitcoin has no advantage to face to paypal in many side as popularity, trust or conveniences. If paypal accepts bitcoin as a real money and allows user exchage bitcoin through paypal, it will very easy for all people who have difficulties in exchanging because so many countries ban bitcoin as a illegal money. Therefore, i hope in near future (2-3 next years) paypal will accept bitcoin so we can use bitcoin easier.

Well, that is one way to come in by acting as an exchange which they are not the first to do this. I have been using services like Luno in my country to achieve this for a while now and the services have been awesome. However, PayPal coming into the show will actually create awareness as a very large of the global population has been making use of PayPal and the introduction of bitcoin while serving as an exchange will make it even better.

[ivanst776]

Well, if they decide to integrate with some of these companies as you have said, that would obviously help enhance the usage of bitcoin by most of these merchants just like bitpay has always been doing. I am pretty sure they understand that they are missing a lot and would want to see how they can tap into it for their benefits coupled with what they have always been doing, so I would not be surprised.

Why Paypal should accept bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best money transaction medium than any international transfer options. If paypal is there are payment API in any e-store even bitcoin payment API is also can be added that.
Bitcoin is the competitor for Paypal and all over money transaction medium. Since many corporates making money as a business in that way so that is the reason they allowing bitcoin to work in the many countries.

[Kawasanz]

PayPal works with BitPay, Coinbase and GoCoin to receive online transactions related to Digital Goods, Digital Goods is the purchase of non-physical goods such as Software, Serial Number, Music, Digital Book, Applications and so forth

[Granxis]

In general, bitcoin has no advantage to face to paypal in many side as popularity, trust or conveniences. If paypal accepts bitcoin as a real money and allows user exchage bitcoin through paypal, it will very easy for all people who have difficulties in exchanging because so many countries ban bitcoin as a illegal money. Therefore, i hope in near future (2-3 next years) paypal will accept bitcoin so we can use bitcoin easier.

Well, that is one way to come in by acting as an exchange which they are not the first to do this. I have been using services like Luno in my country to achieve this for a while now and the services have been awesome. However, PayPal coming into the show will actually create awareness as a very large of the global population has been making use of PayPal and the introduction of bitcoin while serving as an exchange will make it even better.

Paypal has lost the old popularity, the number of users has decreased. This is certainly not Bitcoin because Bitcoin appeared in 2009. Paypal was as popular as it was two or three years ago. For this reason, Paypal's joint venture with Bitcoin will bring back the old reputation of Paypal.

[ninche]

forget about it
it will never happen

[koinov]

Isn't it better to remain separate from PayPal and similar payment services?

That's one of true values of bitcoin !

[meldrio1]

that will never happen paypal accepting bitcoin, paypal are so strict unlike perfectmoney and payza are accepting bitcoin and I'm still using them. Better to use bitcoin than paypal.

[1Referee]

Isn't it better to remain separate from PayPal and similar payment services?

Not necessarily. At the end of the day, services are free to incorporate Bitcoin in the way they want, and there isn't anyone or anything preventing them from doing so, which I am very happy with. Bitcoin is freedom and doesn't discriminate like PayPal & Co are doing. Services incorporating Bitcoin increases Bitcoin's utility, which is something we all strive for, right? Best thing of all is that we still have the choice to make use of something or not - no one forces us to use something we don't want. Ultimately, I honestly don't see much reason for PayPal to ever incorporate Bitcoin. They are growing every quarter of the year consistently for quite some time now, and it doesn't look like it will stop. So regardless of what we think of PayPal, they are marketing themselves very well, which translates into long term growth.

[mharz]

1) Do you think about this news will happen ?
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

In my opinion, if PayPal accept bitcoin for the next years coming, I think that PayPal is not strong enough to supports the needed of their company, even though their corporation is established steadily. Moreover it is desperately move to PayPal because they want to joint forces with the crypto currency.

In addition all of us knows that bitcoin are starting to become famous and sooner or later they can surpass PayPal in the market.

Why do we need to have paypal connected to bitcoin and do such things if Bitcoin can stand alone and do it by itself?
what can paypal do well bitcoin can also, its just a matter of transfer let bitcoin alone because if we will have paypal on bitcoin another fee will be lessen top our budget.

Paypal accepts bitcoin or not it should not matter, because the major advantage of paypal was that it was used to transfer money in online fashion to people around the world. Now bitcoin is also a type of crypto currency which is being used world wide to do the online payments. Moreover Paypal has some limits for some countries while bitcoin is available almost all of the countries of the world where internet is available.

[Disna]

I don't know if paypal can accept Bitcoin next year, as I know, paypal is a financial services company offering electronic payment transaction services while Bitcoin is not a company but a peer-to-peer network in transactions for which operate without central authority developed open source.

[richardsNY]

I don't know if paypal can accept Bitcoin next year, as I know, paypal is a financial services company offering electronic payment transaction services while Bitcoin is not a company but a peer-to-peer network in transactions for which operate without central authority developed open source.

Regardless of Bitcoin's decentralized nature, any service can implement Bitcoin into its platform if they wish to do so. If lightning network moves out of beta and will be accessible to the public, we don't any major incorporation to implement Bitcoin to gain more traction. People will experience for themselves how it is to not worry about fees and confirmations anymore. I honestly don't really care about PayPal. I am not interested in making use of Bitcoin through a corporation-centralized platform when I can use Bitcoin without the need of any central entity already. It's just me directly paying to person x instead of me sending Bitcoin to corporation, from where the corporation sends the coins to person x. No thanks.

Bitcoin is already better than paypal. If they don't want to accept it, it's their loss and not ours.

[annango]

Absolutely I agree with you. If paypal accept bitcoin, i think it wil create a big benefits for many countries. As you know, although bitcoin is much more popular, some countries ban or don’t accept this digital currencies like China, there are many people invest BTC, but the government have just not accepted it. So I also hope in the next few years, paypal will accept BTC to every of us get an easy way to exchange.

[somwhr]

as we can see paypal is very famous as it is already known at the industry but look at the bitcoin it is just new but there are a lot of people using it.

It's better to try the new products like bitcoin as it will offer better than the existing one as they are promoting it..

[Brunusmagnus]

Well, at persent bitcoin - or other cryptocurrencies - are sawn as "concurrents".
But I think that in the next future paypal, banks, govermente, and so on, will be forced to accept bitcoin.
We'll see.

[ModaFuka1994]

For now I think we can't ensure anything if Paypal will accept Bitcoin or not. I think we need to wait a little bit more, when Bitcoin legalized in at least 1 or 2 countries all over the world, I believe that Paypal will not be the only one that accept Bitcoin, a lot of other online market will also accept Bitcoin for payment as well.

[Agetan]

Undoubtedly, bitcoin is already better than paypal by its highest demand and even better than other world assets like gold.
People no more like to bear feableness of paypal. Paypal either have to embrace bitcoin as one of their payment method or they must get off sooner.
In just a few years, people will have an option to pay via bitcoin their local shops and the bitcoin will be fully dominating over all payment methods including paypal

I dont think that bitcoin is better than paypal and also gold. Bitcoin is bitcoin and paypal is paypal.. they have very different thing how it can not be compared since they are different at all.

[Victorious5]

Well if we talk about fiat  and crypto market or Bitcoin future I see two possible ways.
First crypto overtake fiat currencies, second fiat currencies convert to crypto.
There is no doubt that Paypal and many others accept Bitcoin.

[ZeroDrifting]

Some traders on Paxful.com uses Paypal to trade in BTC, Its really convenient.

[chineseprancing]

I can't see any wrong in accepting bitcoin of PayPal, maybe accepting bitcoin for PayPal is not a big deal. Otherwise if PayPal and bitcoin combined together I think more opportunities will be open to many people, other than that it PayPal give bitcoin a chance to become more famous and popular to many users and capitalist.

[gesdan]

as i know right now paypal is accept credit card for deposit the money in paypal, but maybe its possible some day that you can use paypal to withdraw your bitcoin, its mean that you can convert your bitcoin into paypal balance and you can withdraw your paypal balance into bank account, but i think it will takes many fees

[iv4n]

    For me,bitcoin is better than paypal. Bitcoin is the famous currency at this moment and time will come paypal will accept bitcoin because of its popularity and most of the people nowadays are use bitcoin.

Bitcoin is better then PayPal and thats why PayPal is losing battle against bitcoin. Paypal is payment processor, u use PayPal as third party service to move your fiat money, bitcoin is doing that by itself. Question is why bitcoin needs PayPal? How can PayPal help bitcoin? I know answers on this questions and I know that PayPal will be useful one day. Bitcoin doesn't need third party services to move them and store them.

[bratko99]

They probably will in the future.
Although, when they will, btc will lose its purpose. They wouldn't let it be anonymous.

[Webetcoins]

For now I think we can't ensure anything if Paypal will accept Bitcoin or not. I think we need to wait a little bit more, when Bitcoin legalized in at least 1 or 2 countries all over the world, I believe that Paypal will not be the only one that accept Bitcoin, a lot of other online market will also accept Bitcoin for payment as well.

I think it is true and it will happen soon. But one thing is really noticeable and that is that bitcoin is digital currency and paypal is real. It is just like other real currencies such as fiat cash, dollar and Euros. If we talk about transaction then transaction of paypal is faster than bitcoin but bitcoin will take more than 40 minutes but it is being recover now people are working on it and soon this problem will be solved.

[globalcitizen]

It's very much a possibility. I'm sure PayPal, Amazon and the likes will have no other choice but to open doors for acceptance of Bitcoin and perhaps other digital assets. Bitcoin and Blockchain is gradually going mainstream.

[1Referee]

Although, when they will, btc will lose its purpose. They wouldn't let it be anonymous.

PayPal (if they will ever accept Bitcoin) will be nothing more than an optional service that people can make use of. If you don't want to use PayPal you don't have to, and honestly, why would you ever want to use a centralized service anyway nowadays? People (mostly faucet and bounty farmers) were solely using these services to obtain free external transactions, but now they have cut that out, there is no reason left to make use of these services anymore. Imagine what these services will go through once Lightning Network makes them even more obsolete than they already are. Bitcoin will never lose its purpose as long as you have the ability to transact on a peer to peer basis.

[Happy06]

PayPal doesn't directly accept Bitcoin, but Braintree, a division of PayPal has partnered with Coinbase to accept Bitcoin.

Currently, Bitcoin network processes around 7 transactions per second, while PayPal with an average of 200 tps. In terms of scalability and daily transactions volume, Bitcoin is much far behind PayPal. But apart from being a good store of value, Bitcoin could also be a better decentralized version of PayPal by building second layer payment systems on top of Bitcoin, Lightning Network.

So in future, Bitcoin might be better than PayPal, but again it depends on how users will treat Bitcoin, as a store of value or medium of exchange and the extent of merchant adoption.

Paypal is optional that people cant service because people solely using these services to obtain free external transactions.

Now we have an option in PayPal that we can send the payments to PayPal. In my country I cannot directly withdraw the Bitcoin to my Fiat currency. I have a verified PayPal account it is possible to convert Bitcoin to PayPal currency.

[darewaller]

as i know right now paypal is accept credit card for deposit the money in paypal, but maybe its possible some day that you can use paypal to withdraw your bitcoin, its mean that you can convert your bitcoin into paypal balance and you can withdraw your paypal balance into bank account, but i think it will takes many fees

Yes you can use your credit card or debit card to add some funds to your PayPal account/wallet. So that means if you have, for example, a Xapo debit card, you can also use it to credit your PayPal account. With Bitcoin debit cards like that of Xapo, you can do a lot of things with your Bitcoin, including buying in stores where credit cards are accepted. Next, as for whether Bitcoin will be better than PayPal, I don’t think so, PayPal is more accepted than Bitcoin. But Bitcoin and PayPal can work together in a way, just as I described above in the using your Xapo debit card to credit PayPal.

So, are you paying anything to paypal and to your government when you convert the money from bitcoin to your local currency? Please tell us more about it as I have read that if you convert your bitcoin to your local currency via PayPal, then you have to pay to exchange, and then the PayPal authorities and then the local authorities of your country about the money. If it is correct, then I think we need to find some alternative way.

[HoaNguyen]

In the future, I hope Paypal will be the intermediary to accept payments Bitcoin because they can see the limitations of Bitcoin at the present time that is if moving the wrong address, is sure to lose all of Bitcoin has moved. I hope Paypal accept Bitcoin and will be the intermediary to transfer the money to the different addresses, in case of mistake will be able to regain some Bitcoin moved. But there is a disadvantage that the cost per transaction will be higher than at present, but to avoid the risk then I saw the intermediary Paypal stands out in every Bitcoin transaction would be perfectly reasonable.

[kucritt]

maybe someday because of the bitcoin popularity increased maybe someday paypal will accept bitcoin as the payment and maybe we can do some trading in Paypal, bitcoin is better than paypal? i think both of them have a advantages and disadvantages too so we can't tell about who is the most better currencies

[darewaller]

I don't know if paypal can accept Bitcoin next year, as I know, paypal is a financial services company offering electronic payment transaction services while Bitcoin is not a company but a peer-to-peer network in transactions for which operate without central authority developed open source.

I think so PayPal is the most authentic and reliable source of transferring money. Most of the online jobs companies pay with PayPal. But in most countries the PayPal services are not available and the people face difficulties in their payments. If PayPal start accepting bitcoin then most people in different countries will benefit from it. I will really appreciate this because it is the need of the day.

[bhadz]

1. Yes
2. This is possible, paypal is a well known payment processor and they want to take it as an advantage instead of competing against bitcoin.
3. I think bitcoin can be better than paypal but I don't know when it will happen.
4. For now, both has high fees so I can't decide.

[Sorliand]

Paypal can accept bitcoin indirectly like accept card using bitcoin or accept something like payeer.

in future may be find bitcoin used more than paypal

[Pandarian]

PayPal better or Bitcoin better will depend on ther users. If person want annoymity over safty over his payment he will choose BTC. If someone wants safty of their payment, ability to charge back etc, he will like PayPal.

[A.Chanaka Bandara]

2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ?
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ?
4) which better for now PP or BTC ?

My Ideas about four questions.

1) defeneedly I think so. In next year I will hope to hear that news.
2) yes. I hope paypal will accept because a lot of people use BTC right now.
3) BTC is the best. Because if paypal use, we need physical currency. But BTC is direct digital currency.
4) we can't earn more money using paypal. only spend money using paypal but we can earn money by trading BTC.

[Kevondo]

Paypal can accept bitcoin indirectly like accept card using bitcoin or accept something like payeer.

in future may be find bitcoin used more than paypal

It think paypal is being use more than bitcoin and it is could currency today now paypal is a payment and it might be associated with bitcoin now bitcoin is being support by paypal and it has gained the support of worldwide and increase more if bitcoin will be invested by a lot of people with paypal investors. So no doubt we will see many websites including paypal will accept bitcoin.

[jonatuzc]

They probably will in the future.
Although, when they will, btc will lose its purpose. They wouldn't let it be anonymous.

PayPal is totally different concept and bitcoin is crypto currency. Whether PayPal increases or decreases it’s none of our business. Now if we draw a comparison, the first thing is that PayPal is not totally online and in some parts of the world, its not even considered the currency.

Where as crypto currency is slowly taking over the online system and I think in near future, it will takeover the all online money transfers platforms.

[rhamzter]

I heard that PayPal are ready to accept and join forces with crypto currency, but I think it will not happen for now, maybe it takes time before finalize and establish that partnership of 2 big companies. In my opinion it gives a lot of opportunity if this partnership will become successful but not for now they need to study it carefully.

[passwordnow]

PayPal does have some disadvantage for both users, receivers and senders. Someone can dispute the transaction base on his own will and it will all depend on how PayPal will take bitcoin seriously. I have read some rumors if that's right that they are already taking a look at bitcoin.

[Kapz786]

Would be really interesting to see if it would ever happen but unfortunately the current trend is more places are dropping Bitcoin than picking it up due to the fee's and confirmation times so it would be going against the trend. There is definitely a future in Bitcoin but with the sort of congestion we are seeing it just means more alt coins like Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin etc will be advantageous to use for this purpose. Paypal also pretty much have a monopoly on the fiat transfer market so there is room for more competition. I know of at least a few businesses similar to paypal that accept crypto currency so it will be interesting to see if they become more widely accepted.

No man, why the hell would anyone use PayPal with bitcoin, it loses its purpose.

PayPal - centralized
Bitcoin - decentralized

PayPal- reversible
Bitcoin - irreversible

PayPal- elgible to get your funds seized
Bitcoin - not elgible for that

I do not understand Why many people generally put such questions, regarding Bitcoin and such a payment system as PayPal. After all, these are practically two different things that lie in different planes of the world's financial pyramids. In short, there is nothing in common here and I fully agree with your examples.

[the1world]

i think paypal is better for now BTC still have limit maybe 2 years from now BTC will be better

For Paypal Bitcoin is one their major competitor in terms of online transaction payment, time will come and we just don't know when will happen but for sure they will accept bitcoin in the end where they can't do anything to defeat bitcoin. So in the last they will join the trend for sure.

[@Mhaiang]

well if i were to compare paypal from btc, i would choose the bitcoin of course. Aside from its amazing features, it is already international and has the potential to burst in the next year.

[Tutikv]

I think bitcoin will be higher in price compared to paypal, see the development of bitcoin users is currently growing, now bitcoin already worth above $ 14000

This is interesting news, because PayPal is world leading money exchange company and many companies pay to their foreign workers through PayPal. It will be easy for all the users of PayPal to receive their payments direct to their bitcoin wallet.

For PayPal it is also convenient to pay in bitcoin. It seems that now the world is gradually turning towards accepting and using bitcoin all over the world which is a good sign.

Correct, I'm sure most of the bitcoin users were also used PayPal. Transferring of amount from bitcoin to PayPal will become more easier that before. Also all transactions thru PayPal would be much easier to do thru help of bitcoin.

It's a good start if it is happen in this 2018.

[annicketucufaw]

There is a possibility that Paypal will accept bitcoin. If everyone is aware of the cryptocurrency like bitcoin why would they not let it happen. It is just a matter of years for everyone to know about cryptocurrencies.

[prtty2gal2]

Bitcoin is already better than paypal. If they don't want to accept it, it's their loss and not ours.

Yeah I submit your thoughts. I also appreciate PayPal step towards accepting bitcoin as regular money. Every company in the world wants to give ease to hos clients and PayPal is doing the same. By this way their scope in the world market of online payments will grow more because when you want to exchange your bitcoin in your local one PayPal will help you in this regard.

[GregH37]

In general, bitcoin has no advantage to face to paypal in many side as popularity, trust or conveniences. If paypal accepts bitcoin as a real money and allows user exchage bitcoin through paypal, it will very easy for all people who have difficulties in exchanging because so many countries ban bitcoin as a illegal money. Therefore, i hope in near future (2-3 next years) paypal will accept bitcoin so we can use bitcoin easier.

Absolutely I agree with you. If paypal accept bitcoin, i think it wil create a big benefits for many countries. As you know, although bitcoin is much more popular, some countries ban or don’t accept this digital currencies like China, there are many people invest BTC, but the government have just not accepted it. So I also hope in the next few years, paypal will accept BTC to every of us get an easy way to exchange.

All the people users of PayPal will benefited from this step of bitcoin. I really appreciate this and by this way many other money exchange service provider companies will also follow PayPal and will start accepting bitcoin. Payments will be easier for them and also for the companies who wants to pay you in bitcoin. It means all the circle of payments and receiving will feel ease and comfort in this way.

[bhadz]

There is a possibility that Paypal will accept bitcoin. If everyone is aware of the cryptocurrency like bitcoin why would they not let it happen. It is just a matter of years for everyone to know about cryptocurrencies.

That possibility is totally big, PayPal is a popular payment processor and others are starting to shift their payment method through bitcoin which is very popular nowadays. They can send and receive bitcoin in the quickest way as there are too many exchanges that are already running and everyone can exchange bitcoins -> USD in the easiest way which is the main concern of people who are using PayPal.

[tannerchum]

As of now paypal doesn't accept bitcoin but there is posibilities that sooner they are going to accept bitcoin money for the good transaction. You don't know the technologies now a days it is going fast. If they are going to study the streghts and weaknesses of bitcoin they will easily identify the methods and process of the transaction because Paypal is very famous payment services.

No other currencies is not as more powerful than bitcoin till now , PayPal do not accept bitcoin till today , in future it will be possible but bitcoin is considered as better currency than other currencies by people it will be very healthy thing for bitcoin users and investors .

[Emmetropia3]

It really is hard to figure out.


1. They hate cryptocurrencies so they won't accept Bitcoin or any other coin except if they are the ones who developed it.

2. They love/hate Bitcoin but want a piece of the Bitcoin pie so that they can somehow control it.

[LisaOrange]

Use Paxful.com! They accept Paypal

[1BTC EQUALS 1CAR]

No, paypal knows what is right for their company and look at what Steam did after accepting btc. It's so volatile so they dropped it. But I bet UTRUST will replace paypal.

[lhfly2019]

It's a really hard choice for Paypal.
As the founder of the Internet Payment,it wanna hug the BTC and BlockChain fiercely.
But on the other way,Paypal knows that every action it takes will influence the whole payment area and
would cause gov's supervision!!
It's dilemma,really,really hard!

[bitcoinFPT]

I think Paypal needn't to implement Bitcoin because It act with certain purpose. Paypal is development  with its way year by year .  I'm sure most of the bitcoin users were also used PayPal PayPal is seeing its user base grow continuously year after year, so it's safe to say that they market themselves very well, and that there is a decent amount of demand for their platform. It's not a shocking growth they experience, but it's at least consistent.
PayPal is a popular payment processor

[RonJohannson]

PayPal makes money from the spread it earns.  In other words, it charges merchants 3% to accept it as a form of payment, and if that Paypal account is funded with ACH, then it only costs PayPal about .25% to fund that transaction, so the spread to PayPal ois 2.75%

If a credit card is used to fund that transaction, it costs PayPal about 2.2%, so the spreaad to PayPal is just 0.8%. 

I'm not sure how much it would cost PayPal to use BTC as the funding mechanism, but if you figured that out, then you'd have the answer. 

PayPal is fundamentally a spread business and the cheaper the funding, the bigger the profit it will make on anygiven transaction.

Paypal would have to change for it to compete. Utrust will compete with it and maybe upend the payments industry if successful.

1) Do you think about this news will happen ? No, this is not going to happen.
2) Do you think paypal may accept bitcoin in next years (3-7) or it is impossible ? No, it's impossible.
3) Do you think bitcoin will be better than paypal ? when will happen ? There is a huge difference. BTC is a cyrptocurrency and payment method while PP is a sole payment provider that enables you to use bank account/credit card with one click simplification. I.e. closing of PP doesn't mean anything while the collapse of BTC will hurt everyone here so badly. BTC is a revolution while PP is only a way for spending funds from your bank account/credit card.
4) which better for now PP or BTC ? For ordering Pizza or booking your flight, generally for all non-virtual goods, you can use PayPal. For irreversible payments for your virtual goods or for any kind of arrangements around the globe BTC offers you a unique solution.

It wont going to happen, Paypal wont going to accept bitcoins, its also against Paypal's terms.

[TheKeyLongThumbI]

I think Paypal will just create their own tokens just like what Kodak did. It would favor their business more compared than doing it with bitcoins. Bitcoins is still a headache for fees and transaction time so I still don't see any possibilities.

Definitely, to stay the leading payment processor, if BTC gains enough popularity, they will have to accept it to keep running.

They might also make the extra transaction fees which means extra profits so there's nothing to lose so why not?
Only thing stopping them right now is the instability and the complications of buying and selling, once it becomes mainstream, these problems would disappear and it would be a lot more easier.

There is no transaction connection between PayPal and bitcoin till now if it is possible the people easy to transact their bitcoin easily I think soon it is will be possible and it also make some good improvement in crypto currencies .

[ASHLIUSZ]

Both might look like providing the same service, but they are completely operational in different platform. Maybe soon or later bitcoin and PayPal will function in a collaborative manner when the growth becomes promising, more marketplace as well more adoption from common users add value to cryptocurrency.

[ezajavo]

it's hard to know what will going on,it's could be happen by see the development of bitcoin and paypal now but takes a long time ,i think the both have great the potential and interest to work together in the future,hopefully so

1. Totally possible. Lots of people are requesting PayPal to do so.
2. It's not impossible but you never know what PayPal has got in mind.
3. Bitcoin is better than PayPal. Though they are on entirely different backgrounds and users. Bitcoin is a currency, whereas PayPal is a medium of exchange.
4. Depends on where you want to use it.
I know a lot of people would have said the same things already but I wanted to have my say in it.

In general, bitcoin has no advantage to face to paypal in many side as popularity, trust or conveniences. If paypal accepts bitcoin as a real money and allows user exchage bitcoin through paypal, it will very easy for all people who have difficulties in exchanging because so many countries ban bitcoin as a illegal money. Therefore, i hope in near future (2-3 next years) paypal will accept bitcoin so we can use bitcoin easier.

Absolutely I agree with you. If paypal accept bitcoin, i think it wil create a big benefits for many countries. As you know, although bitcoin is much more popular, some countries ban or don’t accept this digital currencies like China, there are many people invest BTC, but the government have just not accepted it. So I also hope in the next few years, paypal will accept BTC to every of us get an easy way to exchange.

All the people users of PayPal will benefited from this step of bitcoin. I really appreciate this and by this way many other money exchange service provider companies will also follow PayPal and will start accepting bitcoin. Payments will be easier for them and also for the companies who wants to pay you in bitcoin. It means all the circle of payments and receiving will feel ease and comfort in this way.

No, you are only seeing that from our perspective, paypal needs to deal with the US tax authorities and they are the most powerful of all the tax authorities, if they accepted bitcoin they will have to implement harsher KYC policies, and they will close your account for any transgression also the amount of bitcoin users is not that big so the costs will outweigh the benefits.

[jossiel]

Well I believe soon PayPal and other payments gateways will definitely accept btc

This can happen as there are companies that are already considering bitcoin as a payment method and it can be a big competition with PayPal.

Just like what others are saying that if you can't beat them join them. I know that PayPal's management understand that bitcoin is going to be a big threat into their business in the future.

Where everyone actually like cryptocurrencies and are all fully depending on it.

[richkellj]

Well I believe soon PayPal and other payments gateways will definitely accept btc

Eehm… it’s like we are all confused here. First, PayPal is a payment processor which can be used to make payment in online stores and various other places, including offline. PayPal is not an exchanger site or forex site, so why on Earth should we be expecting them to start accepting Bitcoin; I mean for what reason? Cos this is making no sense at all.

Well this news can positively happen at the future I guess sooner or later , but as of now I'm not aware on this issue so I find some source or a link and this is what I got feel free to look at and feel free to quote. And if this will happen well basically it would be huge success on both industry.
