So Ive been spending a lot of time looking at it, and its truly fascinating actually: the way that the currencys been designed, and the way that inflation is built in to pay for miners, and all that is truly fascinating. I think that for us at PayPal, its just a question whether Bitcoin will make its way to PayPals funding instrument or not. Were kinda thinking about it.
