Roger Ver: Paypal 2.0 Is An Acceptable Risk For Bitcoin Scaling

“If scaling bitcoin quickly means there is a risk of [Bitcoin] becoming Paypal 2.0, I think that risk is worth taking because we will always be able to make a Bitcoin 3.0 that [. . .] has the properties that we want. But I think we only have one really good shot at having bitcoin become the default platform for people to transact on across the world. We need to make sure we scale fast enough to allow these new people come onto Bitcoin, even if it means risking some decentralization or risking it becoming, like I said, Paypal 2.0”

I disagree.

I think they left out the context here.
I said that if the choice is between risking Bitcoin becoming Paypal 2.0, or the myspace of Crypto Currencies, I would rather see it become the Paypal.
At this very moment, it is looking more and more likely that the Bitcoin Core developers are risking it becoming Myspace.
