Wow, a hedge fund invested heavily in bitcoin declares they expect bitcoin to surpass paypal by year end. I'm sure there is no conflict of interest there ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I sure hope ANYTHING overtakes paypal. Been waiting for Paypl to die for some time. I've probably lost thousands to there broken senseless policy's. The worst currency site I've ever dealt with hands down.

Sensationalist claims like that do NOTHING for the legitimacy and growth of the bitcoin community. Be realistic please, Bitcoin will not outgrow Paypal in 1 year...we have a long time to go before we start to really challenge the existing monetary systems.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

I would wager they get a decent interest rate on the funds they freeze for months at a time. It stuns me to see people here that will line up to use them for BTC transactions.

imagine if your bank were going around looking for accounts to "freeze" the assets of... just so they could somehow just steal your money. so many people would be enraged.

You don't have to imagine that, it already happened, see Cyprus.

Paypal downfall has been and will continue to be their bad customer service and the way they freeze you money for months. I would love nothing more than to never read another piece on PayPal (good or bad) for as long as I live.Go Bitcoin!

They mention the company name way too many times. Human dishonesty / shadiness never fails to disappoint. -B-

I'm hoping for the same to happen. However I don't think it will be possible in less than a year. That's sensationalist marketing. Just HODL and be patient... Bitcoins' time will come... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ya.ya.yo!

Paypal would have been extinct ages ago. But just because Ebay and other online retailers such as Amazon are supporting them, they are able to survive. Now with Bitcoin around, they won't survive for too long, even with the help from Ebay. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I would love it if this happens. PP needs knocking down a peg or two. They need to rethink their fees and I hope bitcoin forces them too.

their fees are high because they either destroyed or bought their competition.. that's capitalism for you.
