The Analyst X (@bullmetrics) reportedPayPal is up nearly 50% in six months and still down 78% over five years. So the real question: is this the turnaround, or a bounce in a broken stock? Here's the actual setup: $PYPL sits in the middle of online payments. You check out, they move the money, they take a fee. PayPal and Venmo are both theirs. 🟢 What's driving it: - Buying from a shop you've never heard of? You don't type your card in, you hit the PayPal button — if it goes wrong, they chase it, not you. That trust is the product. - Shops can't remove that button. It turns browsers into buyers, so taking it off costs them sales. - Apple has your wallet but not the shop's checkout. Stripe has the shop but not your wallet. PayPal has both. - They're buying back 10.21% of the company a year — the fastest pace in their history. Fewer shares, bigger slice for investors. 🔴 Why it got this cheap: - On your phone, Apple Pay is already sitting there with your face. PayPal makes you log in. That one extra tap is the whole war. - They've always charged shops a premium for that button, and cheaper options now sit right next to it. - Revenue growth has slowed to low single digits and the profit engine has cooled. What do the pros think? Here it gets uncomfortable: 🔴Avg target: $57.26 — 7% below where it trades today 🚀High: $85.68 — +39% 🔴Low: $36.36 — −41% The verdict: you're not buying growth here, you're buying cash. At $61 you pay $11 for every $1 of profit — Visa and Mastercard cost three times that. The model says $75.36, Wall Street says $57.26, and that gap is the whole trade. The risk is the fee. If Apple and Google keep owning the checkout button, the cash machine slips with it. That's why the Low target sits at $36.36. Bargain or value trap?

Illuminaughty:Hot Pink&Black Queen of Hearts (@Slghtrhouse4Moo) reportedI looked up what X money is. Gotta wonder if it'll be another PayPal with the psychological issues associated like accounts wiped tf out, monies not accessible, etc Would be interesting if it didn't considering Long term goals are something 🐖🐖🐖🪰 Zombie by proxy apocalypse

he red on my hood till i bust (@turrondeluxe) reported@calogue_ since its been going on for weeks your account might be trapped in a backend security review or either a limitation that only paypal costumer service can fix :(

Collin Rauen (@Crauen17) reportedHands down the worst customer service team i’ve ever dealt with in my life is @PayPal
-
Olibher Cafirma (@C37484Olibher) reported@ima_fly_tok @alexabelonix That's the bigger issue IMO. Switching from PayPal to another giant provider doesn't really remove the dependency, it just changes who you're dependent on. Having more than one payment route makes a lot more sense.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost DTC founders lose money to FX mismatches, stuck payouts, and chargebacks — then find out at month-end, when it's too late. Built Hawkledger to fix that. Watches Stripe, Shopify, and PayPal in real time and emails one morning brief: the fix to push back. Live soon.

TullyNotes (@fantony_francis) reported@GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing Meanwhile, success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2015 This fat slob- an Epstein sleepover and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

Allan Robinson (@_ARob) reportedThe double-spend example for money: If I email you a photo, I still have a copy. That’s fine for photos, terrible for money. If I send you $10 digitally and still hold a copy of that $10, I can spend it again with someone else. Traditional fix: A bank sits in the middle. It keeps the master ledger, deducts $10 from me, adds $10 to you. You trust the bank, not me. Bitcoin’s fix: Every transaction is broadcast to thousands of computers, verified, and written into a shared public ledger that everyone holds a copy of. Rewriting it would cost more in electricity than you’d gain, so lying isn’t worth it. Real-world example: Alice sends Bob 1 BTC. The transaction goes out to the whole network, gets confirmed into the blockchain, and now every participant agrees Bob owns it and Alice doesn’t. Alice can’t send that same coin to Carol — the ledger already says otherwise. No bank, no PayPal, no Cash App, no Venmo, one to ask permission from. Bitcoin is money.

erick 🥔 (@__Joyb0y) reported@mygamesir Got a problem placing a preorder. I got charged but didn't get a confirmation mail, just got sent back to checkout page and nothing else happened. I used PayPal.

MSI Press LLC (@msi_press) reported@BetrayedKrondo1 @AnimalFriendsSh I have been able to connect regularly to the gofundme link over a two-year period. (PayPal has been a problem for me.) Have you tried a different browser? Perhaps it is the country of origin? I am in the USA and so is the founder of the gofundme.

Dave Cobra (@Dave_Cobra_) reported@anamazingpita @Venmo @PayPal Thank god it's not just me. I reported it and they tried to gaslight me that it was on my end. Then opened another chat and was told it was their issue.
