Paypal and bitcoin is now working hand in hand to

More like Bitcoin is Paypals bitch.

Bitcoin and Paypal can grow side by side and a bit together as well

Paypal has actually innovated in terms of paying on internet

is good to remember that if you use paypal you gotta be careful, and try to don't keep big ammounts of money on paypal, actually that website has been showing a weak side for hacks.

That is a good suggestion. I do not keep money in Paypal. But I do have a direct debit set up with Paypal, it can take money from bank account at any time. I wonder if that is also vulnerable to attack.

Starting off with the fact that to outrank PayPal, Apple Pay should outrank Android first.
And statements such as PayPal's days are over, it's rediculous. How do you see every user writing down his VISA card info in suspicious websites just like that if he doesn't want to go hipster? huh

Paypal is doing good for bitcoin.... to their own demise

I beg to differ with your argument. I believe that the company is simply changing its ways in order to adapt to the rapidly changing financial landscape.

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!

Amen to that!:)

True, paypal see an opportunity to make money, they're trying to take that opportunity. We'll have to see how they handle things when dealing with scammers.

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.

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.

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..

Well crafted answer. This hits the nail on the head regarding paypal. While basically describing how the fundamentals of how bitcoin and a new business model is born.

True enough this may be apple were talking about and while they compete with bitcoin the fact that were seeing some serious movement in the field because Bitcoin is shaking things up is good for all consumers in the end.

They're running attack ads on Apple's new payment system. COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that Paypal is as hackable as any online system and COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that they often shut down member accounts just so they can keep the money. http://www.wired.com/2014/09/paypals-attack-ad-shows-apples-power-inspire-fear-loathing/?mbid=social_fb
