    Explains why btc is exploding today.
    Maybe this will make it quicker to get money from bank to betting site using bitcoin.

    Don't see what this changes at all except people with really low IQs might finally figure out how to buy/sell crypto because the whole wallet and exchange concept is sooo hard.

    I won $100 in bitcoin from SBR, made an account at coinbase.com and sent the receiving address in and they replied back and aid that it needs to be 34 characters and the address I got is only 18. I don't know what a bitcoin even is or what you do with it.

    There was no waitlist for me. I was just able to buy some now. Unfortunately you can't send the bitcoin anywhere so it's useless for me but I have $100 of bitcoin in my paypal.

    No. Like I said you can't send or receive any bitcoin. You can just buy it and have it in a seperate paypal balance. It's basically useless unless you are investing.

    so if you're buying btc thru paypal, you can only hold onto it until you eventually want to sell it but you can't make actual payments with it?... if so, who does the sell order go thru?

    It looks like you can only use it at specific places starting 2021?



    https://elevenews.com/2020/10/22/paypal-to-offer-crypto-payments-starting-in-2021-2/



    PayPal announced that soon it will enter the cryptocurrency market. PayPal customers will be using cryptocurrencies to shop at any large market from the next year. The payments will be settled through fiat currencies. It will be similar to merchant solutions like BitPay. The coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin will be supported in this new payment method. PayPal is one of the largest payment providers with almost 346 million users in the world.



    PayPal is joining the cryptocurrency market, so the service will encourage the global use of new digital currencies that can be developed by central banks. U.S. account holders will be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in their PayPal wallets from 2021. There were other mainstream fintech companies that were also allowing this process, but PayPal’s launch is the next level for the Cryptocurrency market.
