Re Paypal cost, is that micropayments to businesses? I just sent my friend $0.01 and it was free, with a linked bank account. Understood that the bank account payments take a while…

Interesting Why not just use the real Paypal?

I truly mourn the death of the "printable version" link

Just don't get banned by Visa or Mastercard

a16z is not the object of the "blowing up". There is no clickbait or ambiguity.

Well said I don't know how anyone over the age of twelve cannot see #2 and #3 Code has bugs. Things will go wrong. You need lawyers.

You got me there. I am in the 99th percentile of crypto bears but I myself have used Bitcoin very effectively to buy illegal drugs, buy illegal steroids, and bet on sports illegall…
