Could you please clarify whether PayPal is considered a cryptocurrency? I've heard some discussions about PayPal's involvement in digital payments, but I'm not entirely sure if it falls under the category of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are typically decentralized digital currencies that utilize cryptography for security, yet PayPal seems to be a centralized payment platform. Could you elaborate on the differences between PayPal and a typical cryptocurrency, and if there are any connections between the two?
