Now PayPal is getting a patent on Bitcoin stuff

Fine if Paylpal supports Bitcoin, then I will find the password for my Paypal account.
I have not been using Paypal for a long while, because to be honest, I think credit card is much better.

Well it appears that the patent is for some kind of hardware wallet. What's strange is that they seem to be skipping the more natural step of accepting virtual currencies on their online platform first. Can you imagine if they come out with their own virtual currency??

It is very unlikely that Paypal will accept bitcoin anytime within the next 5 years.

We heard the same thing about Steam bitcoin acceptance. Even Gabe Newell himself claimed that Steam acceptance is highly unlikely to happen.
And year after we have fully integrated Bitcoin payment on Steam.

http://cointelegraph.com/news/paypal-files-patent-for-bitcoin-payment-device based on this article it is safe to suppose that PayPal will open to cryptocurrencies.

The real question is not 'if' but 'when'.
