Will you accept PayPal or alternative payment methods in the future?

At this time, it's unlikely we'll offer PayPal, Google Checkout, Bitcoin, or other payment methods. If you'd like to purchase a Pass and it's not possible for you to use a debit or credit card, try purchasing a gift card or check if your bank/payment method of choice allows you to generate a "virtual" credit card number.

I can't believe I didn't catch this.

Most likely he thinks it'll be too messy to implement compared to CC payments.

even if that is the case, he equated it to paypal

Sure. I don't think he's a very big fan of Paypal.

Hey it's gaining recognition!  :)

420chan accepted BTC for a while

You are somewhat mad swissmate.

I think over 90% of bitcoiners are aware of the chan subculture, what's the deal?
Since most of them run on siteop financing and donations and advertisers don't exactly jump to have them as partners this is a great opportunity for bitcoin.

It was edited at a later date to include Bitcoin. (Most likely in response to people requesting it?)

I think he made a big mistake here, there are tons of people that has concerns to be personally associated with 4chan, an anonymous payment method like bitcoin would be perfect.
