Thanks. I'm sure this is all second nature to you but it's harder to grasp for us older folk trying to make sense of it all. So if digital currencies are simply "electronics money" would $PYPL be considered a digital currency?

As a payment system, what practical advantages do cryptocurrencies have over PayPal? The only one we're aware of: payment anonymity, which is only of use in connection to illegal activities and therefore has no impact on $PYPL market.

Actually, if you read the article, you'll see that credit cards are partnered with PayPal, not just competing with them. And I've already explained why I think #cryptos are not a threat. They will fail long before $PYPL.

#eBay dropped #PayPal for #Ayden. That's going to severaly hurt PayPal. Who knows how much longer they'll be around? Between the disolution of their longstanding partnership with ebay, and increased competition from traditional credit cards and the new wave of cryptocurrencies, I'd say $PYPL's days are numbered.

I disagree, as I've argued many times in the past (check my hashtags for #bitcoin and #crptocurrency), the digital currencies you are referring to are incredibly volatile, completely unregulated, uninsured, are a haven for criminals and are an increasingly tantalizing target for hackers.

A proven and trustworthy company like #PayPal is the perfect middle grown for investors who want to follow the future of payments, but want safety and stability as well. Very bullish on $PYPL.

As I wrote earlier today here:

While I agree that $PYPL will likely rebound in the short-term, in the long-term old-school companies like PYPL will go the way of the dinosaurs and be completely replaced with true digital currencies.

The change won't take affect until 2020. In the grand scheme of things these days, that's a long time away. By then #bitcoin could be the preferred method of payment for ebay purchases. $EBAY $PYPL #BITCOMP

I was initially surprised to hear that #eBay would no longer be using #PayPal as it's payment processor. But you've made an eloquent case showing that this will not be have a critical impact. My outlooks has shifted from planning to sell my shares, to buying more now that the price has dropped due to panicked shareholders. $EBAY $PYPL
