  The proposed acquisition of PayPal by Stripe and Advent International looks like a potentially win-win transaction, but the economics appear significantly more attractive for the buyers than for existing PayPal shareholders. The reported $60.50-per-share offer values PayPal at more than $53 billion and represents roughly a 28% premium to its unaffected share price. That is a meaningful headline premium, but it also comes after years of declining valuation, weak investor confidence, and management instability. For Stripe, acquiring PayPal would immediately provide scale that would otherwise take years to replicate. Stripe is strong in developer-focused infrastructure and online merchant payments, while PayPal brings a global consumer wallet, hundreds of millions of active accounts, Venmo, branded checkout, merchant relationships, credit products, and a large payment-processing operation. Stripe would effectively acquire both consumer distribution and a mature financial ecosystem rather than continuing to build every layer organically. Advent also makes the transaction more realistic. Stripe may have the strategic logic and technology, but Advent can contribute capital, restructuring expertise, and operational discipline. PayPal could potentially benefit from being taken away from the quarterly pressures of public markets while it modernizes its technology, cuts costs, and reorganizes its businesses. Reuters reported that the offer is supported by approximately $50 billion of committed bank financing and that the buyers currently intend to keep PayPal together rather than immediately breaking it apart. The problem is that $60.50 may still be too low for PayPal shareholders. PayPal is not a distressed company running out of cash; it remains a highly profitable and strategically important payments platform. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue grew 7% to $8.4 billion and transaction margin dollars increased 3% to $3.8 billion, despite the company’s operational problems and weak market perception. The offer therefore appears to price in much of PayPal’s current weakness while allowing Stripe and Advent to capture most of the potential upside from restructuring, cost reductions, product integration, and renewed growth. My view is that the strategic combination makes sense for both sides. Stripe gains distribution and scale, Advent gains a large cash-generating platform with restructuring potential, and PayPal gains stronger technology, private-market flexibility, and more focused ownership. However, being strategically sensible does not automatically make the proposed price fair. PayPal shareholders should not reject the deal merely because the stock once traded above $300, but they should probably demand a larger control premium for surrendering the company’s long-term turnaround and strategic optionality.

  @liminalisa I think it's interesting you had to pay this way because in PayPal policy most people do this so people can't issue a refund.

  Woke up to the $60.50 bid for $PYPL from Stripe and Advent. Stock closed at $47.37. That "28% premium" is off a beaten down base. Paypal traded near $80 last year. And 28% is *below* the median take private premium of ~32%. They didn't even bring a normal offer, let alone a full one 🫠 Look at what they're actually paying for: a global payments network throwing off ~$6B in free cash, 25% ROE, buying back 7%+ of shares a year. At $60.50 that's ~9x FCF and ~8x EBITDA for *control*. Established payments assets go for 8-12x EBITDA as minority stakes. This is the bottom of the band, and they want the whole thing. So that's the tell imo. $60.50 is only 1.21x my IV15, and IV15 is what I'd pay as a passive holder with zero control baked in. A control buyer pays *over* fair value, not just above the floor. Id value pypl IV8 to IV10. That's $75-80 at IV10, $110-115 at IV8. Stack a control premium on IV10 and you're near $100, still under my IV8. A board retiring 7% of its stock a year at $45 is not tendering at $60.50. If anything here I'm selling calls against my short puts which are now up nicely and some of my long shares

  @hulu_support when signing up via on screen QR code — redirect to mobile web site — use PayPal … it’s impossible to then tell what or which email address is used for the account creation. seems like a broken loop.

  Ive been saying for a while "Something isnt right in the MKT' And im referring to valuation being way too high, and having weights of some companies be far too big in 'indexes' which passive funds only amplify the problem. IF the stock mkt valuations are too high, Whats it say abt private mkts when Stripe as a private company, can raise private funds to buy paypal??? Its that Private valuations are even worse. reckoning is coming, dont be caught getting nickels in front of a steam roller waiting till the last second

  @pitdesi It’s insane to me a company like PayPal is worth so much when their product is fundamentally broken. It will randomly charge to the checking account and not the credit card saved as default. Meaning it can’t be trusted. This is a known problem they just don’t give a ****.

  Broad market treads water as chip stocks crater; memory rout drags semiconductors down hard while financials and consumer names keep things afloat. PayPal surges on takeover chatter. $MU gets hit worst.

  a $43.5M app raised money on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table full of celebrities. then Bloomberg found it opening hidden tabs at checkout, injecting affiliate codes, claiming commissions it never earned Phia called it a bug. the code said otherwise feature flag: live on iOS where users won't see it, off on Chrome desktop where they would. that's not a bug you patch, that's a design choice you make once you already know what gets caught last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, whether they earned it or not. a browser extension sits in the perfect spot to fake that last click on nearly every purchase cookie stuffing used to send people to prison. Shawn Hogan did 5 months for it at eBay. Brian Dunning got 15 months. max sentence runs 20 years under federal wire fraud law eBay jailed a man for this exact scheme. now it just funds it through eBay Ventures on Phia's cap table Honey did the same thing bigger. PayPal owned it, worth $4B, until MegaLag's video showed how it stiffed creators. Chrome lost 6-8 million users. Google banned the practice in March 2025 it hasn't slowed down i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  AI Agents Don’t Need to Be On-Chain. Their Money Does. I don’t need to be “built on blockchain” to send someone USDC. I just need a wallet and a rail. Neither does an AI agent. That one sentence collapses most of the “crypto AI agent” narrative and it’s why the real alpha isn’t in agents at all. It’s in the payment rails built for them. Here’s the category error nearly everyone is making: they’re trying to make the agent crypto-native. On-chain reasoning, a token stapled to the bot, “autonomous economic actors” that supposedly live on a chain. But an agent’s intelligence runs off-chain on normal servers, using normal models. Nobody runs a model’s brain on a blockchain; it’s absurd and always will be. So when a project brands its agent as “on-chain,” it’s almost never adding a capability. It’s adding a token. The part of an agent that genuinely benefits from crypto is the money movement. And that part is already real. The receipts: •x402 Coinbase’s open protocol that revives the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code processed roughly 165M agent transactions and ~$50M in cumulative volume across ~69,000 active agents by April 2026. •The average agent payment is about $0.20 — below the minimum fixed fee card networks charge per transaction. Read that twice. It’s an entire class of machine-to-machine commerce that Visa and Mastercard physically cannot serve. •x402 was donated to the Linux Foundation. Google’s AP2 authorization framework launched with 60+ partners including PayPal, Mastercard, Coinbase, and American Express. The settlement asset is overwhelmingly USDC, moving gaslessly via EIP-3009. That’s the tell. The rails are winning as neutral infrastructure open standards and stablecoins not as somebody’s agent token. And it’s early. Daily x402 volume is volatile, down sharply from its December 2025 peak as incentives and testing wash out. This is a first-inning signal, not a finished market. But the shape of the thing is unmistakable. Now the uncomfortable half, because I’m not here to shill: The “AI agent token” category is roughly $15B and mostly narrative. In Q1 2026, zero-usage tokens that slapped “AI agent” on themselves without a product got wiped out. Even the survivors carry the value-capture problem: Virtuals ships real product with real usage, but VIRTUAL holders receive no direct protocol revenue. ElizaOS owns developer mindshare, yet an open-source framework is brutally hard to convert into token value. Two names Virtuals and ai16z hold 57% of the entire category (according to Claude). That’s not a diversified sector. That’s a narrative propped up by two poles. So here’s the stance: The crypto belongs in the rails, not the agent. An agent doesn’t need to be on-chain to pay on-chain same as I don’t. The durable structure isn’t “crypto agent.” It’s any agent + crypto rails: ordinary software, running any model, hosted anywhere, plugging into a settlement layer that clears in seconds for a fraction of a cent, 24/7, worldwide. The test I run on every “crypto agent” pitch: delete the token and let it pay over open rails. Does anything about its function break? If not you’re buying a story, not a machine. Where I’d point attention instead: what settles and clears on these rails. The stablecoins agents actually pay in. The chains their transactions finalize on. The identity and authorization layers that keep autonomous spend safe at scale. That’s the picks and shovels of the agent economy and none of it requires pretending an agent is something it isn’t. Rails, not agents. That’s the alpha. Not Financial Advice.
