Buy Bitcoin with Paypal Using 5 Easy Steps
Paypal was once among the favored methods for buying and selling bitcoin. This should come as no surprise. After all, Paypal is one of the Internet’s largest online payment processors while Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency. The two should be a match made in heaven, right? Actually, selling bitcoin may violate Paypal’s terms and services. For one, Paypal prohibits activity that “(h) involves currency exchanges or check cashing businesses.” While the debate over whether bitcoin is a digital asset or currencies continues to rise, the above prohibition adds complications for bitcoin traders. Second, scammers have been using a quirk in Paypal’s payment system to successfully scam people. Basically, someone will use Paypal to purchase Bitcoin, then claim that they didn’t receive anything.

Bitcoin Bickering Continues as Crypto Critics Duke it Out Online

Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins: How Arwen Wants to End Exchange Custodianship
The long list of cryptocurrency exchange hacks tells the story of one of the Bitcoin industry’s biggest problems to date: Custodial exchanges are a big target for attackers and a centralized point of failure for those that rely on them.

Over the past decade, a staggering estimate of $1.4 billion worth of crypto has been stolen or about 8 percent of all bitcoin in circulation today. If it’s up to Boston-based startup Arwen, these types of events will soon be a thing of the past. Arwen, formerly known … [Read More...]
