The whole idea of Bitcoin is to get rid of crap like paypal and banks in the first place

Exactly what is the added benefit of paypal supporting Bitcoin? If I pay with Bitcoin (and I do so when&wherever possible), it's because I prefer to AVOID paypal

The benefit would be the ease of buying and selling.

Bitcoin cant kill banks and paypal until it is large enough and widely held. There has to be a bridge between the old banking system and the new.

don't care they don't care. they must care because Bitcoin is a revolution.

The thing is, it's not at all clear what it is you're petitioning them to *do*.

Since PayPal is my only available payment method unfortunately, I'm gonna sign the petition. They're still an awful company though

The various wallet software/websites coupled with BitPay seem to do a fair job at anything PayPal could offer.

I'm asking for implement Bitcoin currency. You can deposit Bitcoins, you can withdraw Bitcoins, you can send Bitcoins to other PayPal users, you can exchange them to any of other currencies they've got implemented... I'm asking for implement BTCs as one of currencies like USD, EUR, etc...

Then you're asking for the impossible. The way they implement currencies like USD and EUR won't work for Bitcoins.

You know a bank that quotes a wholesale rate for Bitcoins?

I read the petition and I can't figure out what you're asking them to do. Are you asking them to allow people to buy and sell Bitcoins using PayPal for the payment side? Are you asking them to sell Bitcoins themselves? Are you asking them to buy Bitcoins themselves? Or what?
