How to deal with scammers is the most important thing in BTC related trading.
Paypal is about to accept Bitcoin, so it's in our interest that all goes well with Paypal now, even tho we don't really need this company to function, the Paypal brand is huge and if they adopt Bitcoin, a lot of clueless people that know Paypal (basically most average joes that do online shopping know Paypal) will now know Bitcoin.
Paypal will never be a "friend" even if it accepts bitcoin at some point.

Yes, but it's not an opportunity to make money. It's desperation not to loose money.
Paypal = ebay ... ebay had a significant security breach not long ago, with the majority of its users' addresses and password hashes sniffed by hackers. So Paypal should better:
1) shut up because of no credibility
2) shut down because of bitcoin
It's better for everyone to see these crooks vanish.
ya.ya.yo!
Paypal are dumb as should be tooken down

When bitcoin proponents attack Paypal its different though because bitcoins have never been stolen
And neither are they given.. or at least you'd be dead before you can appreciate the actual value of working for bitcoin.
Divide and conquer.
plus you can't buy drugs or guns with paypal...yet!
This is a laugh, 3d printing is to be used for printing medication, and the liberator gun is free on pirate bay.. who needs theiving paypal?

I am a user of Paypal. If I can store digital coins there, it would be excellent.

Between Apple pay and bitcoin, Paypal days are numbered.
The user base of Apple pay is too small.
They should be scared. They are a shitty company that steals and locks accounts for no reason. I haven't seen any attack ads personally but the one listed on that site is weak.
Hopefully Google Wallet and Apple Pay will take away their grasp on online payments and p2p transfers.
They lock accounts because they cannot be certain as to who "owns" certain money in the account due to their charge backs policies. I think this will ultimately lead to the demise of paypal because someone with a balance in their account does not truly know if they will be able to actually spend the money. It is like having a transaction be "unconfirmed" for months while having the possibility of a "double spend" against your account.Hopefully Google Wallet and Apple Pay will take away their grasp on online payments and p2p transfers.
Great description.
They will also reverse transactions and put you into the red if they think there is ANY suspicious activity. The money in the accounts is not really yours and at any moment can be taken away from you under broad reasons of suspicion. Hopefully people realize these downfalls and stop using them altogether.
Paypal could taken over by the govt and when the system collapses the govt could be the vendor and we be the buyers and they could regulate resources that way. Just an idea..

Paypal would own alot of Bitcoin
Bitcoin does seem like it has quite a lot of potential to change the world drastically if it can take hold
interesting to say the least.
It would be great to see Bitcoin and cryptos take over heavily flawed centralized currency and payment systems like PayPal in the next 5-10 years.
Bitcoin is not scared, it is unique.
Between Apple pay and bitcoin, Paypal days are numbered.
