Great news everybody! Braintree will allow paypal merchants to accept fiat via coinbase who takes bitcoin! Awesome =) That worked out so well for the price with the other merchants. But this is much bigger so whatever we have seen happening to the price so far should accelerate and completely wipe out all bids. Congratulations! Bitcoin made it.
No, they are adding support for a new currency. The conversion from one currency to the other, when involve BTC, will go through coinbase. That's all.
Yeah, what's the difference from newegg adding it? When I buy something using Braintree bitcoin is sold on coinbase, fiat is then sent to Braintree and then finally Braintree sends this money to the merchant. Sounds revolutionary.
The difference is that if a merchant wish to have his paypal account priced in BTC (just like you can have it in USD or EUR), then not only bitcoin received are not converted, but other currencies received are converted in BTC. This is what i will do if i was them.

The news hasn't really broken on any major outlets... "buy the rumor sell the news" may not even apply here. Good luck speculators.
Buy the rumor sell the news is completely idiotic.
One article just popped up a few minutes on Bloomberg, but that seems like the first major new outlet to say anything at this point. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-08/ebay-s-paypal-unit-to-start-accepting-bitcoin-payments.html
Patience everyone. It will be huge when the people on the sidelines that have been saying Bitcoin is not going anywhere reads this.
Edit: Forbes just added an article right now: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2014/09/08/ebay-announces-first-foray-into-bitcoin-with-braintree-unit/

Most important news, spending bitcoin will become a lot easier and widespread.

Smart money understands that this will create more sell pressure, hence the price is dropping already. Don't be a maroon and a bag holder, cut your loose.
hmm that's actually a good point.
No, it's not. It increases usability and therefore also value. The flaw in the above is the implicit assumption that 1. only people that already own Bitcoins will spend them and 2. They won't replace them. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect.
Ok, but does usability sine qua non increase value? I'm not so sure. I agree though I was overseeing the other points though.

It increases usability for holders, not mainstream shoppers online. Bitcoiners BEGGED paypal to accept bitcoin, so they have relented. It makes sense, why would they turn down a plea from people to take their money?

Buy the rumor sell the news is completely idiotic.
He has a point though... we are in this fucking industry... we are the people that know before everybody else.
When this is on BBC, CNN, Bloomberg tomorrow or next week... that is when the news hits. This is the rumour !

Don't be a racist by telling people they are a maroon, please learn the meaning of the English language. You are looking like a moron.
crap, I didn't even realize the use he intended on this.
yeah man, -1 on the racist remark, but I still find the argument that this may put sell pressure on the back-end interesting.
