No,The fact that it is not legal to the goverment.Paypal has been given a right to operate because of it is safe for transactions.Bitcoin cannot overcome paypal from now because some countries still not accept it and it is still illegal to their country.Unlike bitcoin,paypal was already accepted by many countries for transactions.

The increase in the popularity and worth of the bitcoins seems that it can happen. But to make it possible bitcoins need to gain more popularity worldwide. Hope so it will come true.

Lols, how has bitcoin overcome paypal in terms of trading volume?
Do you trade paypals? Or penpals?

The amount of lilidots... on this forum is amazing

What's the point of sending bitcoins to somebody in the middle of the Atacama desert?Or in Allepo?
It's no point saying you can use bitcoin worldwide when you can't buy a damn thing with bitcoins in a 100km radius and you have to exchange them to fiat.

Paypal is a service, bitcoin is a currency.
For the 1000th time there is nothing stopping paypal to adopt bitcoin payments.

That's what I think. Paypal and bitcoin have differences. Paypal is the way how someone sends money. And bitcoins are currencies that are instantly sent to others in the absence of third-party services. Bitcoin can be used as an investment while paypal can not.

Completely agree with you, mate. While it's quite disappointing to experience slow confirmation times within the Bitcoin network, there is hope that someday not far in the future, Bitcoin would scale becoming closer towards rivaling PayPal or other payment processors.

We need to give it more time, for it to become fully mature and handle any kind of load while preserving decentralization. It's not going to be easy, but I'm confident that Bitcoin will improve and survive for many years to come.

In the meantime, we could just enjoy Bitcoin's uptrend in price by holding our coins for the long term, while using other altcoins to handle our daily transactions. Both Bitcoin and Litecoin make a great combination. One would serve as a store of value, while the other would serve more as digital cash. Just my thoughts. 

I think it can and perhaps, this is because the user bitcoin continues to increase and paypal users continued to decline. When Japan and South korea officially legalize bitcoin, then I'm more optimistic with the future of the bitcoin.

Agree. While nowadays Bitcoin is nowhere near PayPal, I'm confident that it will become a better rival against it once it improves in a couple of years from now. It's user base is rising for sure, but one thing that truly limits Bitcoin to reach a wider audience is its scalability issues.

Lacking consensus as a result of miner's greed, will make Bitcoin fail as other altcoins take the lead with better features and most of all, higher transaction capacity than the former. Despite the facts, Bitcoin is becoming more valuable and recognized in the mainstream world each day. It would be interesting if it becomes legalized in every country from around the world.

Nevertheless, if Bitcoin stays as is, it will remain as digital gold, while another altcoin would be suitable to handle daily transactions and become a better rival against traditional payment processors. Just my thoughts. 

I think bitcoin it will overcome but it will take them a decade i think .

Paypal cannot be overcome by bitcoins because of the simple reason that 90% of the online e-commerce sites accept paypal as a payment method and hence that plays a vital role. Though a person who knows btc and paypal both would always prefer dealing via bitcoins.
