that guy on reddit is just a troll trying to raise the price in his favour

we have to ask ourselves the question, what would paypal gain right now by accepting bitcoin as a form of payment?

Hey! That's my avatar!

HAHAHA. Had me completely fooled.
Very sneaky that.

re. paypal rumor:

a) You have to trust someone that breaks trust of company he works for and likely confidentiality obligations. And for what?

b) How is a company like PayPal going to "accept" business in bitcoin currently? Paypal has to consider the legal ramifications of doing this in every country in the world where it operates, and where the legality of bitcoin is not yet certain.

c) It would be much safer for PayPal to invest money in a company like BitPay to hedge its bets going forward but to separate its current business from a speculative investment in a 'currency' of questionable legality.

d) Do people really believe random rumors posted on internet message boards? Use your head!

of course bitcoin is the future its on a matter of time till everyone get with the program, expecting more "Rumors"   Wink

Granted, the question is whether the future is now.

the past we cannot control
the future is set in stone

today is a gift

this is why we call it the present

who do you think you are? an internet philosopher king?

if the future is set in stone, none of this matters and today is not a gift, it just is...
i'm running out, going to pick up some green for the weekend
and yes... this is who i am....

At the end of the day untrue "rumors" won't sustain any increase in price. They'll just increase volatility which is good for trading but not for the long term prospects of Bitcoin.

d) is the important one.  If others believe it, the price may move, otherwise...

PayPal has hinted about this in videos months ago, the logic for a such a move is sound, the guy talks better than I would be able to fake about PayPal and lines up with what has been happening recently, he is offering to take wagers and post pic of access badge, and Vladamir knew about the ETF before it was announced and he has started his Country Gold Parity parties again......

Fuck it, I think it's happening. My fiat is on the move...

I've always wanted to follow an age-old trading maxim.

so here I am, buying on rumor, (maybe) selling on news

A post on reddit from an unknown poster doesn't qualify as a "rumor" in the sense of the maxim.

I'm not sure if Paypal / Ebay is so forward looking.

The cynical me suggests I would go borrow all kinds of money and sweep up all the bitcoins I can find if I really do have the inside scoop.  After all, no one would know this 'insider' trade and there's no criminal punishment either.

Somebody like Western Union is WAAAAAAY more likely to do something like this. Wu is all about moving money from point A to point B, while conducting exchange in the middle if there are different currencies. Paypal is getting money from point A and B, putting it inside of itself, and hoping nobody ever takes it out since it can be moved around within itself for cheap, Liberty Reserve style.
