If and when this happens, bitcoin will soar massively for sure.

"Ebay CEO, John Donahoe, suggested in a Bloomberg interview yesterday that PayPal is working on integrating Bitcoin into its payment processing platform."

he didnt use the word bitcoin once

That would be incredible great news. With something like that I guess we are a lot closer to then Moon than expected and these last few months were a huge bear trap  ;D

How soon, How soon, How soon, are we there yet?   :D
$5,000/BTC by June!

it wasnt that positive

it is with sadness that i say that this is bull fud  8)

Yeah... No. I'll believe it when it actually happens which in this case will probably be never. PP is not at all interested in helping BTC rather it's back pocket which is currently unde threat from BTC.

The question was clearly about Bitcoin as it was mentioned twice in the question. If his reply was not inclusive of Bitcoin, then he would have been intentionally evasive. He seems like a strait arrow and would not resort to such tactics.

waow this is it! :) get ready storm

I hope they choose Ripple  ;D

No, he used it several times. Dumbass.

i hope they choose mooncoin

i saw that motherfucker go from a $30k marketcap to $6mil

i need to get mine  8)

you guy forget 2 Things. First of all he only said that Paypal is able to use multiple Currencys not that paypall is planing to implement anything. And 2nd just look at the Paypall AGB then you see Paypal dont allow to buy bitcoins with Paypal. Why should Paypal change that? That makes no sense. The only reason to hold this dream up is that he has not sayd "We dont want Bitcoin to kill Paypal, so we dont stop fighting agains Bitcoin."
There will be a time for Bitcoin to get in this markets but thats somewhere in the future and not now.

FUDge for the bears.

This altcoinpress site is bullshit.

if he suggested in a bloom burg interview, why not link to the original source (http://www.bloomberg.com/video/ebay-paypal-most-successful-together-donahoe-says-M8oKQ3F5Q3SBdIrbWSnzcw.html) instead of some no-name aggregator...

That is correct soo... Maybe they will be making their own paypal coin :D

Maybe they will take Suicide Coin X_X http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yefdk/humor_proof_of_suicide/   ;D

This makes zero sense... The whole point of Bitcoin is to 'cut out the middle man'...

Which sane and logically sound individual would trade Bitcoin via PP, when they could otherwise avoid fee's and the threat of having your account frozen (losing coins) by trading directly with the seller?

PayPal are obviously trying extremely hard to maintain whatever relevancy that they have left but, ultimately, they are done for!

There is no way that I can see the Bitcoin community opting FOR the middle-man rather than AGAINST

Change the title of this thread. 

Actually it makes perfect sense... bitcoin is still hard for the average person to grasp... and I'm sure paypal will still take 3%. There are probably ways for paypal to piggy-back on the protocol to reduce their cost as well... which could increase their bottom line. At the scale they work on saving 1% on costs is quite alot of money.

If paypal/ebay uses bitcoins, the fees would be so high that it will not be really useful any longer.

lol i was joking...

It will be a competitive advantage over Apple's payment system.

Why on Earth should we care whether Paypal includes bitcoin as an option in their wallet.  I use them when I have to on ebay, but otherwise I try to avoid the fuckers like the plague.  I wont ever be trusting my bitcoins with Paypal. 

Say they freeze your account?... then what?

PayPal's reputation has been defecated with the most horrid shit stain you could ever imagine! ...Thousands of businesses have been reduced down to 2 men and 1 penny all because of the Buccaneers that we know as PayPal

You think MtGox is a problem?.. Well PayPal would be 10X worse.... At least Marky Mark pretends to be an actual Mammal and has made some steps towards addressing the community at large and attempting to put things right... PayPal, on the other hand, will take your Coins and tell you to kick rocks!

The sooner PayPal collapses the better

Paypal fees are so high when you want to transfer some money to a friend oversee 60euros became 10% in dollars in 15minutes

Agreed. I've had 7k plus held up for a half a year... at the most inconvenient time.... Would not support paypal ever even with btc implemented, snakes

I wasn't saying it would be good for bitcoin users... I'm pretty sure that paypal exists to make a profit and if they see a way to profit on cryptos they will do it. If your account gets frozen... I guess you're screwed. The world will still turn... and paypal will still make (steal) more money. The parasites that exist in our world are tenacious...
