As more and more companies accept Bitcoin, the fact that these companies do accept the virtual currency gives it more credibility as a legitimate currency for transactions. The latest news reported by the Wall Street Journal is that eBay is in talks with a number of different companies looking at ways Bitcoin transactions could be integrated into the Braintree payment system at Paypal. If this could be accomplished, it would make it possible for Bitcoin to be accepted for such transactions as Airbnb rentals or Uber taxi rides. There is no intention of integrating Bitcoin into Paypal or eBay where these two companies would also accept them, just possibly the Braintree subsidiary.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I wonder if ebay is just testing the waters with this smaller company just to see if they want to go ahead fully and integrate it into ebay. I think getting ebay involved would be huge.
