I thought the whole point of a decentralised ledger was not needing companies like PayPal…

That is the point! You don't need companies like Paypal... Companies often offer services that are "not needed" because people like convenience, ease of use, etc.

You don't need Paypal to use Bitcoin, but there's nothing in the spec that prohibits it.

Cool. Wake me up when Paypal isn't trying to police what kind of porn people can watch online.

I assume this is a trolling effort on your part?

You can be sure that the “anyone, anywhere” claimed is a lie.

Someone mentioned this kind of thing in the npm breeches last week. You get desensitized to non-standard “official” urls and it makes it easier for phishers.
