Truth will out!
Paypal created a video supporting Bitcoin just 4 days ago - new info, actors identified: http://nxtcoin.blogspot.com/2014/09/paypal-created-video-supporting-bitcoin.html

I'm reading the same as you  Cheesy Cheesy
Evidence is there, let's see what they say on the today's Braintree conference but I'm feeling positive!  Wink

it's been almost a year of "to the moon!" without going to the moon. we've had a lot of good news and it hasn't really affected the price of bitcoin. the one time bitcoin went up a good deal was with the auction of ross ulbricht's coins, and that was inherently different from most of the good news we got this year (since it was about someone actually investing, not offering some service or acceptanceo f bitcoin). i'm going to hold my horses.

oh, and i find it strange that everyone is rejoicing when practically the entire forum here hates the living shit out of paypal.

Well this is good I guess. Is mass adoption on it's way?

Too hard to tell... most likely more user adoption and education required.

People are saying this might be a fake.....  Stay tuned for the PayPal keynote in like a hour or so?



It's in Paypal's channel, plus the ad is professional, still nothing about this ad on Paypal's blog so they might be waiting for keynote to make a big announcement. Keynote in less than 40 minutes.

What is the URL for that Keynote again?  lost it.  It was on techcrunch.

EDIT:  Here it is - http://techcrunch.com/ starts at 1:15PM CST.

if paypal  accepts bitcoin it would mean you can pay almost anywhere!
but i am afraid of fees  Undecided

You don't have to use it if that's the case, just like you don't have to use Paypal. They're going to want some fee for their service that's for sure, but I'd rather have Paypal than no PayPal at all. Them adopting bitcoin will only be good for mass adoption regardless.
for sure,many people would know bitcoin if paypal announce it in his web
and it is always better a market with many alternatives than a monopoly,that makes a highly competitive market

Trust me!
That video is creepy, holy cow! It really looks like some cult Cheesy But to be honest, PayPal would be a great addition to Bitcoin, if it worked as a escrow service. It could protect people from being scammed and make Bitcoin just as safe as a Credit Card for the customer.

this may be to see if the video takes a good repercusion in the bitcoin world like a social market study

I've made that argument before, but my point is they haven't even implemented bitcoin yet. Seems silly to be advertising bitcoin before they've even got something in place.
It's probably the beginning of a very carefully planned Public Relations / ad campaign wherein Paypal tries to maneuver themselves into the position of "trusted bitcoin service". They have hungry eyes on Coinbase / Bitpay's marketshare I'm sure.

That video is quite disturbing. Have they been hacked or something? I don't see why PayPal would be advertising bitcoin right now without having something in it or announced. It's a direct competitor to them.
They have no choice. They can reject bitcoin and die, or embrace it and survive. It's ALWAYS better to cannibalize your own profits than to have some competitor do it for you.

Blockbuster failed to learn that lesson in time. Looks like Paypal doesn't want to make the same mistake.

I also think it'll be a while before bitcoin is at the point where it's a threat to them, though I hope that does come sooner rather than later.
