It is still too early to say that Paypal will start accepting Bitcoin in the near future. As things stand now, Bitcoin is one of the top rivals for Paypal, and has the capacity to obliterate the latter. We still don't know for sure who was behind Braintree's idea to accept Bitcoins. There is a chance that the whole thing was done without any approval from the Paypal board of directors.
Is that possible the paypal board of directors wouldnt know the advertising department is about to mention bitcoin in their next youtube video? seems like a strange way to run a company if so considering what bitcoin is and means.
