I am considering writing an article of the advantages of Bitcoin over Paypal. Answering the question "Why should I use Bitcoin instead of Paypal?"  This will serve to help the undecided to take the plunge.


So, why should I use Bitcoin instead of Paypal?

1. There are no fees (optional)
2. Once the payment confirms bitcoin cant take it back
3. Paypal is just an ass

Hmm... Comparing a U.S. based business which primarily holds a currency at a razor thin safety margin which is going to inevitably crash to a decentralized state of the art Bitcoin, sounds legit.

Plus I was straight up robbed by Paypal, the seller claimed he shipped, then I contacted them when I found out he didn't, they told me to wait 10 days, I have waited 10 days, contacted them again and they told me that it's too late to reverse the transaction. Lost 400$.

Avoid tax

There are a lot of limitations as far as this aspect is considered. If it is a small number of coins, then it is fine. But how can you cash out hundreds of coins without alerting the tax authority? I have no idea.

This is intresting i would like someone to answer at this one ...

I am italian but i live in another country so basically i am depositing trough my ita bank account and cashout out profit to some other bank But i guess that's not that safe .. and i am quite sure that i am suppose to pay some tax in italy for the "profit" that u make trading bitcoin ..

So i am really intresting on earing how to "avoid tax"

I made my first non-BTC related purchase using BTC a couple of days ago - a pro account at putlocker.com

Overall, very impressed with how easy it was. And it was instant too (low value, so I guess they chose not to wait for confirms).

Scan QR code/copy unique BTC address, pay.

Put that in a super secure mobile app and boom, we're good to go.

(Is there such an app - Electrum Mobile would be ideal - that uses the same wallets as the full app on your PC?)

Eatrader in my personnel opinion you have took a wrong topic instead you should write on PayPal advantages over bitcoin or any other crypto currency. Like PayPal is financed by your real fiat currency while bitcoin is a digital currency backed with nothing I guess. You could see how china is beating bitcoin these days

Asking this you're showing you don't have a clue about how paypal works... so, you better stay away from both (btc and paypal)  Grin
