there both similar market caps and paypal has big investors and partners behind it likeelon musk, google, and ebay so the obvious investement is putting ur money into paypal. im unsure of the staking oportunities tho

PayPal is a privately owned business and bitcoin is money. Businesses fail, money does not.

Reminder that at any moment Paypal can close your account and keep your money for 180 days without providing a reason.

Try sending $1 billion to someone else on the other side of the world, and do it securely and within 15 minutes without raising any red flags with government/legal entities. Good, now pay less than $800 in fees for that $1b transaction. Now you know BTC selling point.

This. This is why I legit feel safest holding my money in crypto. I have full control over it and noone can freeze my account or anything.

Bitcoin isn't money

>> No.18531205

>>18531068
So possible illegal activities is a selling point?

I mean what's the use case for sending 1B? It's just something only big companies would do and I'd rather have them red flagged.

>> No.18531222

>>18531205
You realize you can’t send more than $50k at most banks without a red flag going up right? I tried sending $20k to a relative, transaction was immediately flagged and the funds were frozen for 4 days. Just because you are dealing with a baby portfolio doesn’t mean others with real money don’t stand to gain from the tech

>>18531222
So what happened? Did it not go through? Did you just do it online or did you do it at the bank?

I really don't mind some safety checks along the way. It's not really a big selling point.

I like crypto because it's my dream, money that cannot be artificially inflated, secure and recorded/confirmed by many (although this part is debatable).

Paid 3% in fees, waiting 4 days, two phone calls into the bank to clear the freeze, end user had to wait additional 3 days for funds to clear

Your question is one of the most retarded post in my 6 years visiting this shit hole of a board.

PayPal is just a payment processor, crypto is a whole new monetary paradigm which I won't even bother to explain because you're already wasting my time.

Please read a little before asking stupid questions

you still have the same problem here, it's the central authority, not the transfer protocol fault, if btc become even remotely used as a payment by a large number of people , government will easily ban it. the only reason its alive because it's treated as investiment not currency

A huge percentage of paypals users have experienced how easy it is to scam with it. This reason alone is why crypto will succeed.
