PayPal and its parent company eBay EBAY +0.51% are warming up to Bitcoin, but they’re doing it oh so carefully.
On Tuesday, PayPal announced that it was partnering with Bitcoin processors BitPay, Coinbase and GoCoin to allow its merchants to accept the cryptocurrency for digital goods like online games and downloadable songs.
