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.

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.

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.

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 ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) 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.

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 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 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!

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

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!
