Two possibilities:

1. Bitpay overshot their mark on how much staff they could support/needed.

2. They are hurting with this downturn in bitcoin's price.

Perhaps they can get their business back on track by incorporating ripple payments into their checkout system.

But what do I say, blasphemy! Ripple is the enemy, right?

At the San Jose Bitcoin conference in 2013, I asked one of the BitPay employees what they thought about Ripple and they literally responded, "we don't talk about them."

These people "believe" in Bitcoin like it's a religion. There's no talking to them.

Bitcoin is a lovely old steam engine for the nostalgic, trainspotters and enthusiasts.

But the world's population cannot be transported on steam. Trying to hack steam or harping back to the glory days of steam is a waste of human effort and human know-how. We know better and have the technology and tools in our hands.

That said, we ought to cherish and remember BTC as a very, very important part of digital currency history.

That says something about who they are too...

This source indicates that Bitpay just laid off nine staff: http://qntra.net/2015/01/bitpay-lays-off-9-employees-today/

Given the reports from the Bitcoin Bowl, almost no one is spending their Bitcoins with brick & mortar merchants.

In other news... Ripple is hiring! https://www.ripplelabs.com/careers/
