@robertcarlyle: Interesting question. I wasn’t around in 2010, but looking back, I get why PayPal might’ve felt like a shortcut – familiar, fast, done. But yeah, the reversibility kills it. Imagine sending BTC and then getting PayPal’d in reverse? Brutal. I wonder though: did anyone really go through with huge buys like that via PayPal back then – or was it more of a “try and see what explodes” phase?
