[BasilHawkins]

Paypal is scam. Paypal currently freezing worth of $200 million from thousands of people worldwide.

This, bitcoin is just far superior by design. Paypal is service created to EARN money for their owners. And we do not have to pay anything for using bitcoin.

There should be 100 reasons, not 10.

FREEDOM

In my country Paypal was not available until recently. When it did become available it was through only one of the big four banks meaning that you 'had' to have an account with them which could then be linked to Paypal. Now all banks can link to PayPal but you have to jump through several hoops and its a right royal pain in the backside.

Bitcoin offers true freedom in that there is no discrimination, its available to and accessible by all. That alone, imo, make it stand heads and shoulders above any other.

Never liked Paypal. They limit for no reason.

Bitcoin rocks.

Thing is... people are very much willing to pay a premium in order to be covered in case of a scam! This really is something that needs to be implemented in Bitcoin in some way. We need some third party escrow service that makes it easy and safe to pay with Bitcoin for the regular customer!!!

To comply with US law, bitcoin and coinbase will eventually need to provide those services.

What law are you referring to? It would be impossible to force people to buy insurance like this because if the government did this then consumers would be vulnerable to the insurance companies failing.

Words cannot express how much better Bitcoin is than paypal.
I must refrain from my best expletive language on this topic.
Lets just say Paypal is a greedy pig.
We cannot have a greedy pig as a host for a currency transfer system.

Paypal has freezed my account for no reason  

Me too, years ago, don't worry about it, the Painpal dinosaur has a few more years to live but in the end Crypto shall win.

There is really only one reason why BTC is better than Painpal: You own the Bitcoins but Painpal owns you. Who wants to be owned?

Painpal is more useless than a bank, banks can at least give out loans. Painpal just forwards existing money, so they don't do anything that Bitcoin cannot.

Now, what if you are in a third world country with your family having some vacay. You need money. Ow! They dont accept BTC? What should you do? Well I got a paypal account. Withdraw money from paypal and then poof! You are drinking beer again.

with bitcoin debit cards there's no need to worry about if they take btc direct, and fees are no worse than paypal's foreign exchange rates I'd say Also this style of bitcoin evangelism is something i kinda enjoy, my favorite one at the end of this http://cointelegraph.com/news/112375/10-reasons-why-bitcoin-is-better-than-paypal Bitcoin will never spam me about food platters ahah!

about the 7th one...it's not absolutely true cause there is a blockchain (look at darkcoin)

[Timetwister]

But Paypal can be used in many more places. Stores should keep adding Bitcoin to their accepted payment methods.

[ensurance982]

Bitcoin is more the underlying money and also has the inherent capabilities of transmitting large amounts of money instantly. PayPal effectively is a service provider that does the escrow. Bitcoin may need some of those service providers as in order to get the broad public on their side!
