Paypal was started as a rebellion against the useless banks that were stifling online business. These guys may still have fire in their bellies

Do they still even own Paypal ?
eBay bought them out making them richer than Croesus.
So here they are again, about to launch something that could replace Paypal.
I would expect Paypal to do something about this. We already know they've been looking into Bitcoin.

Correct. They don't work at Paypal.
These guys are the founders from Paypal investing in BitPay. It's not like it's Paypal directly investing in BitPay.
The way I'm thinking is : They did the almost impossible before, maybe they'll do it again but this time with BitPay instead of PayPal.
I see what your saying. But I wonder if they are buying a piece of BitPay with the intention of an eventual takeover. Why else would they invest in a competitor?The way I'm thinking is : They did the almost impossible before, maybe they'll do it again but this time with BitPay instead of PayPal.
Paypal could just integrate Bitcoin right now. They don't need to buy anyone. But this has nothing to do with Paypal.

Luke Nosek, Ken Howery, Peter Thiel don't even work at Paypal anymore. This is a fund to help tech startups. It's just throwing the Paypal reference because it adds some weight to the whole e-commerce heavyweight angle.

I wonder if this news came out today in response to WebMoney announcing that they're now accepting Bitcoin.
I think the race is on to become the 'paypal of bitcoin'.

If only they instead used their expertise to bring about a reliable bitcoin exchange.

Good news for Bitpay, not so much for Bitcoin.
Great just what we need, PayPal having absolutely anything to do with bitcoin.
Very nice!!
This is big. I think PayPal may be trying to capitalize on Mt.Goxes misfortune. Could bitcoin and her frienemy PayPay get married?
Wow, this is big news :

Three Paypal founders investing in Bitpay and the conference hasn't even started yet.
I've got a feeling things could be looking up over the coming weekend.
I'm not sure about next week but in the short term I think things are looking good.
