I can't see any bitcoin logo in their website... tell me if you spot them.

Remember the old eGold company in the early 2000s? PayPal accepted eGold back then. After a little while, PayPal started suspending accounts of people who had eGold accounts. Lots of eGold users simply lost their money that they had in PayPal.

eGold was a centralized ecurrency money transfer company. It was something similar to Bitcoin except that it was centralized. The feds took it down like they took Liberty Reserve down under claims of money laundering. They would take Bitcoin down, but they can't without taking the whole world down. They are trying to do this.

The little point is, I wouldn't really trust PayPal for any more than tiny amounts of money that wouldn't harm me if I lost them. The big point is, personally I think that PayPal is a government "stooge" company. I don't trust them.

I just queried egold.com. eGold is completely gone.

This comment summarizes it all => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF7HxLCFMeY&google_comment_id=z12dyryjkl2czlchd04cgfsjmvy1epir1e4
 

A rat fleeing a sinking ship, an attempt to incorporate revolutionary innovation (Bitcoin) into a failing system. Hear me out Paypal: crypto-currencies don't need you. We have our wallet software and own blockchains, we no longer need a babysitter to hold our money for us. We don't trust you because you've been pandering to the power structure and the fiat overlords for long years.

Have a nice shunning, it will be awry for you.

yes i have read the whole thread Braintree is another Ebay subsidiary

this thread is about paypal,

stories are saying Paypal aquired Braintree but I think Ebay is planning on merging them,

these stories are less than a year old so probably not too much has happened with their

company structures yet, be best to ask some of the media reps from the respective

companies to get the finer details,

http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/08/paypal-braintree/

ok so the Braintree story is brand new as well about them accepting bitcoin

so you can see with the two company structures overlapping this is why Paypal

has released a video endorsing Bitcoin.

Braintree is partnering with www.ycombinator.com/ a startup manager

and Coinbase in helping implementing a one touch payment system,

Neither Paypal, Braintree or Coinbase is a startup so they could possibly

be spinning of another company, maybe their own Bitcoin wallet software company

which will help implement the software into the one touch system.

Any ideas on how they could be integrating Bitcoin, sounds a bit far fetched atm. I'd love to have a guess at what they

are doing but it would be to much speculation on my part.

It seems PayPal is now build upon the BrainTree architecture. Meaning, PayPal internally now supports bitcoin to some degree. What I would like to see is bitcoin supported as a currency, in addition to as a protocol. This will cause  downward pressure as liquidity increases.

What a timing! I'm sure Braintree/Paypal put this info out today to !@#$% Apple's keynote tomorrow. GG!

Great news but my eyes are bleeding because of this video.

Probably I'm missing something. I checked the video. A lot of people are talking about Bitcoin in the comment. But where is Bitcoin logo in the vid ?

@ 8s

Our phone is our wallet. We can send bitcoin with a tap.

sending bitcoin with an air swipe would sound more futuristic

Is Apple's big announcement going to have anything to do with Bitcoin? 

[mraveragejoe]

When paypal will implement for real bitcoins the value will drop due to the higher sell pressure or it will rise?

[minimalB]

Is Apple's big announcement going to have anything to do with Bitcoin? 

Probably not. But whatever they announce tomorrow is not going to sound as huge because of today's announcement.

That is only my wild guess, of course.

I found this article that says that they might incorporate Bitcoin into iphone6.  I guess we can dream anyways.
