Former PayPal CEO Bill Harris Reveals Why He Thinks Bitcoin Is The Biggest Scam In History | CNBC

[AnthonyShuker]

and now paypal is accepting bitcoin payments...

[maltatravel]

Paypal is a scam because the fees are way too high...

[plexasm]

Paypal has scammed their users out of billions of dollars. Bitcoin has never disabled my account because a teenager paid me with his moms credit card.

[ThoseWhoHeedTheCall]

Fast forward 2years and Paypal now offers Bitcoin.

These swines have no shame.

[mewing]

imagine being so wrong and confident about it. rich white men are the best

[stevedb]

Bitcoin is still around and he's no longer CEO of PayPal. Hmm go figure!

[Bababui]

He was right considering it all went to the crapper. Brilliant.... Clowns lost all their money....

[Jinouga]

This dude trying to spread FUD so he can buy the dip.

[baronstone]

The very company that called Bitcoin a scam is now offering it to it's customers. Well there's money to be made right?

[con_el_maestro]

Well this guy called it... It's four years later and it's worth way less than half of the stocks currently

[ambitioncharisma]

Yup and the CEO of Blockbuster said that Netflix would never make it... cool story bro!

[tomzhangus]

I'm gonna have to agree with Paypal ceo here... Never saw the value of Bitcoin. The cryptology tech behind it is cool, but... bitcoin owners, ... I wouldn't hold on to it man. Sell it now while it's worth something.

[DNYLNY]

Gold is real and tangible. It's shiny, pretty, and rare. You can't even wipe your ass with a bitcoin.

[brazenbull]

Yea I agree with dude.

I was meaning to actually get into crypto for a while. But every time i would begin, and then re-begin to research them to understand what actually makes them valuable. I mean really intrinsically valuable. I find nothing but a hollow shell. Like scaffolding with no building in the center. People seem to just be buying whatever with the hope that shitll explode like bitcoin did.

I'm not some big investor type. Just a guy who reads books on the subject and likes to understand something before investing. Crypto is LOADED with red flags. I just can't do it..

[RBBSLogisticsLearningCenter]

2013 I bought 10 bitcoins
Now I own 13 bitcoins.
These educated dummies were all wrong.

[carlowminis]

Its 2020 and news are now saying Paypal may soon be offering Bitcoin. So...Mr. CEO, can I offer you some ice with your CoolAid?

[Mikedigital]

Lol PayPal is a scam, seen those fees lately?

[samione]

He is just a butthurt dude. And media is trying so hard to stop the freedom of the people.

[cvcfoundation]

Actually Paypal is the scam. This video aged well——Not

[getthecash]

lol at Bitcoin . you are all fools to believe in fake $
