This isn't paypal trying to "integrate" Bitcoin, it's paypal assessing the THREAT of Bitcoin.
Paypal is an awfully greedy company, we shouldn't be trying to get Bitcoin involved with Paypal, we should be lobbying to get eBay to adopt Bitcoin and/or integrate with a reputable service like Coinbase so we no longer need paypal for eBay.
You my friend have no idea how is PayPal working or how are they making money. Bitcoin is no threat to PayPal AT ALL. Bitcoin is possible tool that they can use to earn even more money! Only question in their mins is: "How spread it is, and do our customers use it and does it pays off to get trough HELL of administration to enable usage of it trough our service". And last part is what's hlding em back (administration). Once laws get in place, they will jump on it like teenage boy would jump on porn star. |

Exactly. 5% is pretty good if you ask me though. |

We should rather focus on the next 'paypal' that is solely based on bitcoin.... RATHER than get them to implement it with fiat..

I'm glad theyre doing it even though I'm not a fan of PayPal, but I think most of their customers wont even know what bitcoin is.

Bitcoin is the PayPal with "only Bitcoin" Not really. The transferring value part. But not the consumer protection(or stealing your money  ) part. Also the currency conversion and things like that. Bitcoin is just a a barebones protocol. Eventually we'll see a bitcoin PayPal I think. |

Why wouldn't they add btc just like they would add any other currency? The CEO was just on record saying he OWNS bitcoins. So he can learn about them. |
