Post Paypal announcement price

I think we're looking at this wrong.

Paypal doesn't just give Bitcoin cred.

Bitcoin gives Paypal cred as a still on the ball, ahead of the curve, tech savvy, (insert your fav cliche), forward looking financial outfit.

It works both ways. It is like a man and a dog out walking at night; they lend each other respectability.

Great analogy with the dog.

Also, if Paypall offer some sort of BTC integration this needn't mean they support full chargebacks for all types of BTC transaction.

I'd never let PayPal handle disputes if I had the choice. Because they obviously don't have a clue about handling virtual transactions and the buyer usually wins. So as a seller, I'd  ask that BTC be sent directly to me. If any buyer wants to go through PayPal to send BTC, I'd think they were a scammer. If the buyer wants some kind of escrow, that's fine. But we're not using PayPal.

But really. Having trouble comprehending how Paypal/WU could use Bitcoin?
1) Offer their regular service at their regular price
2) Use bitcoin INTERNALLY
3) Reduce overhead involved with transferring USD

Where do you (and others) get these ideas? He was just talking about a FUNDING OPTION: Send Bitcoins to PayPal, get credited USD minus a fee. Coinheads happy, PayPal happy.

It's interesting to see how open these companies are towards Bitcoin, at least for what they tell the media.

What do you think?

This will never happen.

Ding ding ding

At least you posted this in the speculation forum 'cause this is not happening anytime soon.
