Don't get me wrong Mr Froggy.. I hate paypal.. Paypal tried to screw me out of $5k a few years back and only gave it back after threats of legal action.. I now refuse to use paypal.
My reference was "fast and easy as something like Paypal" - as in, fast and easy for grandma to setup and start using.. Read it again and you may notice that nobody said anything about a standard of exellence or how to run a payment system.. Not sure where you dreamt that up from.. But.. Yah..
If you mean the way they disable access to your own money in fast and easy way, then yeah I agree.
Bitcoin is not difficult to use if all you want to do is send and receive bitcoins. My goodness, how hard is it to
a) install the client (
gasp),
b) get a wallet id to send bitcoins to (
horrors), and
c) hit the send button (
on a scale of 1-10, impossible)
That's harder than setting up a paypal account? Get outa here.
