The whole video seemed dedicated to Bitcoin

"We have magical money. Not bound by bank or bill. It's instant, simple, and secure enough to get out on the way. Consider yourself invited to the people economy." etc

I have a feeling Coinbase and PayPal have been working together recently..

I'm starting to think that the more adoption of btc by merchants, the more it will HURT price of bitcoin.

Care to elaborate on why you think that is because I don't see how it can possibly be logical. More merchants = more demmand.

More merchants is also more ways to spend it.

Depends on the implementation. If all they do is take bitcoin, and convert it to USD to sit it paypal accounts, Xiaoxiao is absolutely correct. If they make it easier to get and hold BTC, the price will rise. This is all short term. Long term it is certainly positive.

This is great news for the average person and business who wants to utilize Bitcoin, but is not familiar with the infrastructure. He can now use a system that is already familiar to him! This is great news!

Wtf... those faces and that voice, makes it so hard to focus on what they're actually saying.

There will be a 100% chance paypal will still rape you with fees for using their built in bitcoin feature..

They're obviously going to take a fee just like any payment processor but regardless of their cut it's still huge news. Hopefully they'll charge a fee less than what they currently do for fiat payments.

People like to bash Paypal, but the fact of the matter is that many online marketplaces like Ebay will not function well without a third party intermediary that provides both the buyer and seller protection.

Paypal accepting BTC is a great step toward mainstream adoption!

I think this is a great thing. Bitcoin needs more legitimate (yes, PayPal has done evil things I know) companies that protect customers. They can for example act as a Bitcoin escrow service for a small fee!

Still waiting on that rise tho......

In bitcoin land things happen with 3 months delay. And actually nothing really happened. It was just an advertisement, that is all.

If this does happen it will be great news. I am still weary as to whether or not both bitcoin and paypal will happen. If it does it will be quite amazing to see.

Um.  They already said that they were today.  http://techcrunch.com/video/cleaning-up-the-mobile-buying-experience-with-paypalbraintrees-bill-ready/518405858/

like they took Liberty Reserve down under claims of money laundering.
