This hasn't been confirmed as legitimate or anything, and I don't want to start a speculation fury, but there was this video posted about a month ago on reddit (not by anyone official, I don't believe, or even affiliated with Ebay or Paypal, or at least there was nothing posted to prove otherwise). Have a look at the end and who made it (supposedly): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrK-152xfy0If that's a fake, its a damn good one. the value of all outstanding bitcoin is well over 2 billion dollars I guess they don't plan on officially releasing the video till they have accumulated their stake in bitcoin. cool ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

the value of all outstanding bitcoin is well over 2 billion dollars I guess they don't plan on officially releasing the video till they have accumulated their stake in bitcoin. cool ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) One other possibility is that the video was put together in April, when Ebay/Paypal was actually talking publicly about bitcoin and the outstanding value WAS around 2 billion dollars.

It's okay Mike, I did that for a couple years in the stock market. I refer to the money lost as the tuition for my investment training. It was expensive, but I got a comprehensive course in everything you shouldn't do.

Well the upload date says August 20th, so apparently I was off on when it was posted. Regardless, a video like that certainly takes some time to produce, and they also must have done the research back when it was 2 billion. Or they're gonna buy it up to 2 Billion, incorporate it into their business model, and set course for changing the world of online payments. To da moon!

If I recall, Rassah introduced that trading strategy, and at the end of the day he purchased a new car with the profits earned.

It was expensive, but I got a comprehensive course in everything you shouldn't do. It's akin to learning hold'em, where the general consensus is the tuition fee is ten grand on average, of which I probably paid close to that before becoming a winning player.

I once heard about a student trader who had reversed the "buy" and "sell" buttons on his trading station to overcome that mind-set.

I managed to call the bottom perfectly, but it's unfortunate that I used it to sell at rather than buy at - oops! Oh well, it's not the end of the world. At least I did call the bottom correctly last time when I bought in for $68, and I don't have enough of a BTC/USD stash to be worth losing sleep over the price difference anyway.

Going back to the "mike from ebay" thing: nightowlace story didn't seem a lie to me, I was just amazed that he did not ask more info (last name and position) to the guy making the questions - now I see he did.
Nevertheless, I still cannot understand how Paypal/Ebay could be seriously thinking about integrating Bitcoin - it's totally against their interests. Come on: irreversible transfers, decentralized currency, pseudoanonymity? It's a Paypal antagonist, I really cannot see how they could support BTC, it is completely opposite to their philosophy - in fact, aren't Paypal and Ebay jerking around with people dealing with BTC?
As I said when I saw the CEO of Paypal speaking about BTC: I'm very sure those guys are looking closely to BTC, but IMO they would develop their own proprietary crypto, they wouldn't embrace BTC as it is.
