Ask HN: Why is PayPal not offering Bitcoin in Europe?

Offering Bitcoin seems such an easy model to make money for Paypal.

Why don't they expand this service to Europe?

Is the reason that it is that hard (or even impossible?) to do this legally in Europe?

Lack of interest and volatility of BTC's value I guess.

Just out of curiosity why do you need to buy bitcoin?

Yes, that’s the question.
