In future news: Bitpay buys PayPal.
Before 2025. Honestly though, I've seen a lot of Bitcoin companies come and go. I doubt BitPay will even be around in 11 years. But I don't doubt another bitcoin related company will buy out Paypal before 2025.

If Paypal adopts BTC and become a payment processor, it will become a much bigger company. It might buy Bitpay, instead of other way around.
If Bitpay gets sold to Paypal we will be nearing the end of Bitcoin days.

What makes you think Gallippi would sell to Paypal?  They just entered into an agreement recently, and he's been instrumental in the growth of Bitcoin.  I don't think his soul could be sold that quick, considering all that he's put into it.

Really good news for BTC. But what I concerned is that whether it will push buying activities more than selling in the long run. Or it is just for the speculators to buy in the rumors and sell on the news.

yes good news usually push price down

"To be clear, today’s news does not mean that PayPal has added Bitcoin as a currency in our digital wallet or that Bitcoin payments will be processed on our secure payments platform. PayPal has always embraced innovation, but always in ways that make payments safer and more reliable for our customers. Our approach to Bitcoin is no different. That’s why we’re proceeding gradually, supporting Bitcoin in some ways today and holding off on other ways until we see how things develop."

I think this means they are going to add it with customer wallets soon

It is just the first step. If it is successful, they will integrate more service.

its incredible to think how much growth and progress has been made this past year alone. almost difficult to imagine where bitcoin could be in another couple years.

Buy on rumor, sell on the news.
Too late now. After the news came out, many people regretted they didn't buy before the news. Everyone knows this concept but rarely has courage to apply to real situation.

Giant leaps of logic to assume PayPal is actually doing anything directly with Bitcoin as opposed to being on the sidelines. BitPay is still doing the processing.

i think the point of this development is that it's good news AND it has positively affected the price.

Can i buy bitcoins with Paypal then or just if are a merchant? Someone Pm me answer So i see reply.
This was not addressed in the press release by PP, nor any of the articles posted by the media, but I would assume the answer would be no. The fact that PP transactions are reversible (and bitcoin transactions are effectively not) would open PP to too much risk. If someone was to scam someone and convert the funds into bitcin then PP would be left holding the bag.

Okay thanks for the information Smiley
