“There’s another operation that runs both a marketplace where Bitcoins are bought and sold and a fully compliant money-transmitting business that, observers say, could rescue Bitcoin from its biggest problem. That company is eBay, and the money transmitter is its well-known subsidiary, PayPal. Last week, the company posted a Bitcoin explainer to one of its blogs, and it recently added a new ‘Virtual Currencies’ section to its online marketplace, not too far down the page from ‘Hobo Nickels.’ Hours after we asked eBay about it, the section was removed, and when we asked Ramirez to explain why, she said she’d look into it and then stopped answering our messages.”
