  @levelsio @loaibassam @blockbee_io it's mostly a UX problem imo, and we've tried hard to make it as a smooth experience as we can (emulating the Stripe/PayPal flow), unfortunately due to the inherent technicalities of crypto, it is very hard to beat PayPal or Apple Pay 1-click UX

  Why can $10,000 in USDC settle in 2 seconds… while a wire can still take 5 days? Because most “instant” payments aren’t actually instant. Cards, PayPal, ACH: - Fast user experience - Slow underlying settlement Stablecoins changed the model: - Near real-time finality - 24/7 settlement - Minimal fees But this isn’t a winner-takes-all story. Cards still dominate dispute protection. ACH still wins cheap recurring payments. SWIFT still matters globally. The real shift: From single-rail finance to intelligent multi-rail routing. The next decade belongs to whoever routes each payment to the best rail for the job.

  @eleliayub @PayPal @AskPayPal I lost my first ever affiliate earnings of over $600 due to similar issue.

  So I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

  Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report...

  On $MELI Most investors see a stock down 30% and think of an opportunity. With MELI, it's more complicated than that. MELI is a buy at the right price, but we think there’s still some downside to go. This is genuinely one of the best businesses in the world. It's Amazon, PayPal, UPS, and Goldman Sachs for 650 million people, most of whom are yet to shop online. E-commerce penetration in Latin America sits at 12%. China is at ~35%. The average American makes 41 online purchases per year. The average Latin American makes just 7. The runway is generational. The fintech flywheel is extraordinary. 83M monthly active users. $19.9B in assets under management. The Mercado Pago credit card is the most used on the platform in Brazil, accounting for 50% of transactions, which occur off-app at supermarkets and gas stations. That is a primary banking relationship for people who have never had one. There are 300 million underbanked people in Latin America. MELI is their first bank. The ad business grew 73% YoY in Q1 2026, 4x the regional industry rate, at near-zero marginal cost, built on 27 years of first-party data no rival can replicate. Q1 2026 revenue was $8.85B, up 49% YoY, the fastest growth rate in almost four years. GMV reached $19B, up 42%. Fintech TPV hit $87.2B, up 50%. On the surface, extraordinary. But look underneath. EPS came in at $8.23, missing consensus forecasts by roughly 7%, the fourth consecutive earnings miss. Operating income fell 20% YoY to $611M, with margins compressing to 6.9%. Net income dropped 15.6% to $417M despite revenue growing 49%. The credit book has grown to $14.6B, up 87% YoY, and no matter what anyone says, growing a loan book this fast is not prudent. Plus, the loans business has lower-quality earnings. The pattern is consistent. Revenue accelerates. Profits disappoint. Management guides for more investment ahead. The 30% drawdown has priced in some of the bad news. Not all of it. Margin recovery remains a 2027 story at the earliest. Great company. The price is still not right. We’ll try and buy once the market capitulates (remember the market sold off Google to 18x earnings last year!).

  @real_matawalle @nombahq Many people are having similar issues. They would gaslight you until you forget the money. I have multiple transactions on hold sinmce March. They release some and hold some. @nombahq , is there a secret rule being violated behind the scene unknown to users? THIS IS LIKE PAYPAL!

  $PYPL is cutting 4,500 jobs. 20% of the entire company. Phased over 2-3 years. They're splitting into three divisions. Checkout and PayPal. Consumer and Venmo. And a dedicated crypto unit running PYUSD. Stock is down 45% this year. Revenue beat estimates last quarter. They're firing people anyway. The new CEO calls it "becoming a technology company again." They're going cloud-native, rebuilding the tech platform, and replacing workflows with AI. ✅ Checkout Solutions . PayPal core ✅ Consumer Financial Services . Venmo ✅ Payment Services . Crypto and PYUSD 1.5 billion in cost savings. 4,500 people paying for it. The largest fintech workforce cut of 2026. Bigger than SQ Block's 4,000 in February. Bigger than COIN's 700 this week.

  @WillBiddy_ @visheshbajpai13 You got some diamond hands hold for holding $PYPL, even their last report was rough IMO I didn't look much into, but expenses growing more than revenue is terrible ( especially for a company like PayPal)

  @SamAdolphsen @SecRollins @POTUS If you get food stamps, your meager finances get pored over every six months. You're forced to document everything down to your PayPal account. Your bank statements, paystubs and cash on hand are scrutinized. You're not given a penny more in SNAP than allowed.

  @capreedmi @InTheAssembly Here's Burry's Q1 2026 Substack disclosure breakdown on the 7 software/payments names (thematic portfolio): - **PYPL (PayPal)**: New position opened at $49.38 (~3.5% stake). Core payments play. - **FISV (Fiserv)**: Holding. High-quality payments infrastructure with stable cash flows. - **ADBE (Adobe)**: Holding. AI disruption narrative overblown; creative tools moat intact. - **ADSK (Autodesk)**: Holding. Design software leader with strong competitive moat. - **VEEV (Veeva)**: Holding. Healthcare SaaS focused on life sciences compliance. - **CRM (Salesforce)**: Adding. Down ~30% YTD; undervalued enterprise cloud leader. - **MSCI**: Adding. Financial data/infrastructure with recurring revenue resilience. Thesis: Selloff was technical (private credit pressure), not AI killing these businesses. None rely on private credit. Contrarian vs. Mag7 hype.
