Title: PayPal's director says they're considering adding Bitcoin as funding option
Post by: Jack N Hoff on April 24, 2013, 06:20 pm
David Marcus, president of EBay Inc.'s PayPal unit was on Bloomberg today where he said, "and I think here, for us at PayPapl, it's just a question of whether Bitcoin will make its way to PayPal's funding instrument or not, and we're kind of thinking about it right now."

I'm not saying PayPal is good.  I hate PayPal.  I am saying this would allow people to spend Bitcoins on eBay and anywhere else that accepts PayPal.  It would cause Bitcoins to go more mainstream and cause the price to rise.

i think this would be great, it would make it much easier to get bitcoins if  Paypal started using them,
Paypal are a trustworthy  company.

You don't have much experience with PayPal and quite frankly that's a good thing.  They are evil and anyone else who has used them extensively would tell you the same.  They are not trustworthy.  They love to freeze accounts.  They keep all records forever.  You also misunderstood what I said.  They are considering allowing customers to FUND their account with bitcoins.  They are not talking about buying bitcoins with PayPal.  They are talking about using bitcoins as a payment instrument and being able to fund your PayPal account.

I'm cool with it, just because they accept BTC doesn't mean you have to use it!

+ if PayPal endorsed BTC, OMG....
