I think that if they do something in terms of integrating bitcoin into Paypal they would benefit from it an enormous amount in the long run....and bitcoin would be literally incalculable at that point. We have no idea of what even 10% of Paypal's $145b/per annum transaction rate would do to the price.
Nightowlace is a well respected member of the community also...he is someone I normally read with mature well thought out posts.
If this was a fabrication it would be totally outside of his previous online behavior...I feel it is likely a true statement of account as well.
I have a good feeling about it as well.
What seems strange to me is the way it was handled, and why. They obviously know of the implications of a "leak" like this. So what does that mean? What could they have possibly needed to know to justify a leak like that?
Does this mean they are close to release so it doesn't really matter anymore? This makes me recall the Reddit "leak" that predicted ebay/paypal adoption within the next month or so. Then there is that ebay youtube video too.
Nightowlace, do you care to share the details of this conversation?
