Use Crypto When You Check Out With PayPal On Live Cams

PayPal announced the launch of Checkout with Crypto. With this feature, PayPal customers can pay with crypto coins alongside other payment methods in their PayPal wallet. Checkout with Crypto is available at millions of global online retailers and other businesses. Though currently only available in the US, this feature will soon expand to Europe and other parts of the world. A similar thing happened in October last year when PayPal announced it would allow its customers to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin and other crypto coins.

Bitcoin has nearly doubled in value since the start of this year, boosted by increased interest from larger financial firms that are betting on greater adoption and see it as a hedge against inflation. According to insiders, this is a transitional point where cryptocurrencies move from being predominantly an asset class that you buy, hold and or sell to now becoming a legitimate funding source to make transactions in the real world at millions of merchants.

Crypto Advantages

• By using Checkout with Crypto, users can convert their cryptocurrency holdings to currencies like Euros and Dollars with no additional transaction fees. The new feature will automatically appear in the PayPal wallet at checkout for customers with enough coins to cover a purchase.
• Cryptocurrencies can be stored in a digital wallet that you can manage from your computer, your phone or that you can store in a hardware wallet (A kind of USB stick).
• As long as you know the password / passphrase of your digital wallet, the Crypto coins are completely under your management and ownership and no one else can use it. This is in contrast to the money you put in a bank account, which from a legal point of view is no longer yours. When you deposit money into your bank account, you become a creditor of the bank, that manages your money on your behalf.
• Since bitcoin transactions have no intermediary institutions or government involvement, the costs of transacting are kept very low. This can be a major advantage for travelers.

Conclusion

Bitcoin is based on peer-to-peer technology and relies on the blockchain and the cryptography securing it, without any third-party oversight. When making a bitcoin transaction, it is not necessary to provide personal identification, such as your name and address, which means anonymity is paramount when using Bitcoin, which is especially welcome in the live cam world.

In addition, you can make the purchase from anywhere using mobile interfaces, and they can do it all without providing any bank/personal info, by logging in to your PayPal account.

Lastly, many places of business, including several live cam sites offer discounts if you use Crypto as payment, as they want to encourage you to use it.

So put those literal wallets aside and start using your virtual coins to enjoy everything the live cam world has to offer!
