If we consider Paypal evil (I do), should we consider Bitcoin less evil?

Paypal allows chargeback fraud and is a feast for scammers
Then again
Bitcoin doesnt allow chargebacks and is a feast for scammers because of that


I think Bitcoin, however, cant be regarded as evil cuz its decentralized or semi-decentralized(china)


what do u think fellow people of Bitcointalk?

I don't think it is meaningful to discuss PayPal or Bitcoin in terms of good or evil. They are just tools. A tool is neither good or evil in itself. It can be only used to the good or evil purpose but this distinction lies in the hands of a user.

It all reminds me discussing guns or knives as evil tools. Again: it is a person who shoots somebody evil, not a gun. A gun can be used to protect you and your family, too, and this is a good purpose.
