EBay chief supports the usefulness of Bitcoin


EBay chief John Donahoe says he sees bitcoin and other digital currencies playing an "important role" in PayPal, the e-commerce giant's Internet payment platform.
"We're going to have to integrate digital currencies in our wallet," Donahoe said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
While refusing to say when, the eBay CEO talked broadly about the advantages of bitcoin and why he owns some. "I'm not buying it as an investment. I'm buying it to understand how it can be used."
"I think there are two sides of it, the investment side and the digital currency side," he continued in the interview, which aired Thursday. "I'm more interested in the digital currency side about how you and I can exchange value seamlessly using technology."

The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks.
