Stopped reading at ""may begin to accept''.
What a retarded and empty article.
I think you had the right idea lol. Seems people get excited and make assumptions over any news that may or may not be relevant.
What's the source and I don't see anything that suggests ebay will other than assumption. It may accept it, but it may not.
After the success of Dell with bitcoin payments, I would be surprised if ebay, amazon and other big companies wouldn't start accepting btc any time soon.
But Bitcoin is a direct competitior to Paypal, infact it could have the potential to severly damage it once people see how cheap and safe it is to send bitcoins.
They can still target elder and tech non-savy type to use paypal while letting those who are in the know to use bitcoin.
I have always considered people who use paypal to be somewhat tech savvy (at least I did when paypal first came out). You still need to be somewhat tech savvy to use paypal as there are few/no ways to talk to a live person to walk you through a transaction and you cannot discuss your account with a teller and/or conduct business with a teller; all of which the older population likes to do.
Really? I wouldnt say people who use Paypal are tech savvy. It's very simple. So simple my mother could use it. I don't think wallets like blockchain.info are much more confusing that Paypal to be honest and think they'll get easier to use.
