Are they definitely doing this or is this just hearsay? Any sources?

I'm seeing a lot of 'is exploring' and 'suggests' and nothing concrete.

bitcoin price will break through 2k / BTC when google really introduces some bitcoin related services

looking forward to this

If they do it it's a big jump for BTC's most likely. PP is the main online money transmitting service now (I think) and if BTC were added in deposit/withdrawal options it would benefit both parties.

No concrete evidence... just some rumors....

Do you actually believe a company like Google, which is expanding in multiple sectors is just going to go to sleep on this one.  Think again.  It is going to happen.  Google will not be left behind or outdone.  It is the technology not the currency.

Again, speculative and wishful thinking. If they truly had their fingers on the pulse they'd've already released something.

They do not need to release right now, they have multiple patent requests inplace for their new wallet.  They would not be raising patent requests for fun.
