Is this actually fucking real or another form of click bait by Paypal to try and get people interested in them again? Please post more than one source for this kind of thing.
Ha. It would be huge if Paypal do start accepting it somehow but I won't believe it until I actually see it happen.

Most online or mobile merchants can onboard quickly and are not required to invest in new or specialized hardware. Our Payments Platform supports growth with a variety of value-added services designed to help businesses of all sizes manage their cash flow, invoice clients, pay bills, and reduce the need for merchants to receive and store sensitive customer financial information. For our standard service, we do not charge merchants setup or recurring fees. A merchant can also integrate with Braintree to begin accepting payments with credit or debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, digital currencies such as Bitcoin, or other payment solutions with a single integration.”
Seems like you'll have to use Braintree (whatever that is) but I guess its good enough and a step in the right direction.
