Paypal is trash. People talk about how scammers use Paypal. But forget that scammers created Paypal too.
How can someone cheat you if you pay for something using PP? Everyone as a buyer has the right to file a complaint within 180 days from the date of purchase and if the complaint is justified the money will be returned to the owner. Try to do the same with the BTC transaction and you will see what scammers prefer more, PP or BTC. I will always look for a way to pay something with BTC, but if I judge that the transaction is risky then of course I will protect myself which is quite normal if I do not want to lose money.
As for this news, there is no doubt that this is a very big thing for BTC because BTC payment will become available in every place where PP is available. Here we are talking about as many as 346 million active accounts that currently exist on PP, and there is no doubt that this move will mean a lot for the adaptation of Bitcoin.
