  RANT Why must PayPal hate new accounts. I just created a business account confirm if my account is good, costumer support said yes. Proceeds to hammer me with money stuck there for days. Doesn't even tell you what's the main problem. Man this sht sucks.

  I find it interesting PayPal fell ~13% this week after Stripe & Advent walked away from their $60.50/share takeover bid. At ~$54, $PYPL now trades at roughly: ~10x 2026 adjusted earnings ~8x adjusted FCF I think that is interesting because PayPal doesn’t need to return to high growth for the maths to work. Management is guiding to ~$5.38 of adjusted EPS and $6bn+ of adjusted FCF, while also planning roughly $6bn of buybacks this year. They’ve already reduced shares outstanding from ~920m to ~862m in six months. So even if total earnings barely grow, continued buybacks can still drive EPS higher. On current EPS alone: 10x = ~$54 12x = ~$65 15x = ~$81 If earnings hold up, buybacks continue and the market eventually decides PayPal deserves something closer to 15x earnings, you don’t need heroic growth assumptions to get a good return. Michael Burry has also argued the $60.50 offer was too low, putting his own lower-end intrinsic value estimate around $75–80, with a takeover value potentially closer to $100. So my thesis is: “Can PayPal protect its moat, keep generating ~$6bn of FCF, aggressively retire shares and eventually earn a less pessimistic multiple?” If yes, management's decision to turn down ~$60.50 could look like a great move!

  Dear @PayPal I changed my street address two years ago (almost) and tha ks to your system not working properly I’m out $40+ shipping for a purchase I made from a friend’s shop as your system went back to my old address and I also haven’t gotten my replacement debit card…

  @MsVeilMoney If you're bad at budgeting and paying it back yes Credit cards are great as an extra layer of security over debit cause you can issue chargebacks and stuff. It's why paypal was cool once upon a time

  Most people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.

  Advent and Stripe walked away from $PYPL PayPal today. The biggest fintech take-private ever attempted... $60.50 a share, roughly $53 billion... died over price: the board rejected it in July, the talks for more went nowhere, and per Bloomberg the consortium moved on. PYPL closed down 12.7% at $53.66, a $45.9 billion market cap. Two things stand out. First, the stock is still well above the $38 area it traded at in February before the bid interest surfaced. The market didn't delete the takeover story today; it cut the strike. If the buyers return... Bloomberg says they could... the next number starts lower, in a market pricing 59% odds of a September hike. Second, look at what Stripe bought instead this month... OpenRouter, an AI model-routing startup, for a reported $7 billion-plus. Between a payments giant at 11x earnings and AI infrastructure, the capital picked the infrastructure. That is pretty much the whole 2026 tape in one decision. Standalone case for the bulls... ~10x earnings, $6B of annual free cash flow, buybacks running. The board is betting the turnaround beats the bid. As of tonight it's $7 billion behind.
