I'm curious how Square would look on this graph, though it would probably be an inflated number because they've released a lot of non-Square-API libraries/tools.
Paypal has a higher barrier to entry and not that interesting to tinker with. It's boring. Bitcoin is cool and new and every teenager can play with it without asking his mom or dad for a bank account. When the web was growing 15 years ago, many teenagers were "web designers" and not really looking into J2EE.

Nice trending finding. When people are talking about bitcoin, very often they are focusing on the currency value. They sometimes forget that it is also an open platform. An open platform that brings financial transaction into hands of millions of developers. Making future more interesting. :)

"In the 30 days from November 15th to December 15th, Paypal grew by 4.4%, Stripe by 6.3% and Bitcoin by 17.8%"
I.e. it's trending faster at the moment. It might be 1% of paypal-related repos.
