  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL . Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder maximizing value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  @aldnmarki This problem is mostly because services like paypal are not supported here.

  Elon Musk's best friend staged an intervention to stop him from starting SpaceX. Adeo Ressi had known him since college. When Elon said he was going to spend his PayPal fortune building rockets, Ressi did what any good friend would do. He compiled a video montage of rockets exploding. Every famous launch failure in history, cut together into one film of fireballs, and he sat Elon down and made him watch it. The message was simple. This is what happens to rockets. This is what will happen to your money. Nations with unlimited budgets fail at this. You are one man. Friends flew in. They took turns explaining why this was insane. The aerospace industry agreed with them. Everyone who loved him and everyone who understood rockets said the same word. Don't. Elon watched the entire video. Thanked his best friend. And started SpaceX anyway. Here's the part nobody talks about. Ressi wasn't wrong. The first rocket exploded. The second exploded. The third exploded, exactly like the montage predicted. Elon lost almost everything, exactly as warned. Then the fourth one reached orbit and everything the video predicted became the reason the story is legendary. The people who love you will always show you the explosion reel. They're not lying. The explosions are real. What they can't show you is the launch after the last explosion, because that footage doesn't exist yet. You have to film it yourself.

  @Rootdar This fake PayPal address scammer issue is a problem for everyone. But your PP address is one of the easiest ones to remember and to get right! 🙏 On a separate subject, I think my grandmother story and reposts got in this morning ahead of the end of the contest.

  @robertoblake Yeah absolutely man! (Long reply fyi) Basically Jestr runs paid campaigns for games, mostly indie titles and more. You apply for the campaigns you actually want to make content for, then create short-form content around the game based on the brief. A lot of them only require around 25 to 30 seconds of content, and depending on the campaign you might be playing the game, reacting to a trailer, or using footage they provide. The part I really like is that they combine your views across YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram for the campaign payout rather than judging each platform separately. I was on there for months before I really gave it a proper chance, but once I started only choosing games that actually suited my content and audience, I realised how useful it could be. When it comes to the promotional side, some studios have required tags, talking points, disclosure wording or specific guidelines they want followed. Those are a must. Outside of that, Jestr essentially asks you to follow your own country’s laws around sponsored content and whatever extra requirements the studio sets. The briefs are usually very clear about what is and isn’t required. Each campaign usually has its own budget and a maximum guaranteed payout available. Some campaigns might allow one submission, while others allow several. Those submissions all contribute towards your total performance for that campaign, rather than each one being treated completely separately. The views are pretty simple too. Your qualifying views are tallied across the submitted content and platforms. Some campaigns do require a minimum number of views before earnings kick in, usually around 1K to 2K combined views depending on the campaign, but that minimum is tallied across all your approved submissions and platforms. Once you hit the minimum requirement on those campaigns, your qualifying views start contributing towards the payout until you reach the campaign cap. Payouts can be made directly to your home country’s bank account or through PayPal. I personally prefer the bank option because PayPal can potentially hit you with extra fees or conversion costs. The biggest thing for me is that I don’t think you need to spam every campaign available to make it worthwhile. I’ve had a much better experience just picking games I actually like, or ones I think fit my audience, and making content around those. Happy to break down the payout side or show some examples of campaigns I’ve personally done too if people are interested.

  @SecretsofMaine It was seen all over the world. I had 10 boxes of physical mail in my closet from every country you can name. Even one from China. Then they just shut me down. BOOM. In 24 hours I lost paypal and youtube. That's how they do it when you're not in the club.

  @Tyler_Plummer @alexisohanian @altxyzofficial Have thought a lot about this. A few people have tried it on smaller scale - I think it would have to come from REIND/YC/TBPN or similar to get enough buy in from the people on the cards. even then, very little overlap with the average card collector and people who care about startups and venture. Pre-seed raises akin to rookie cards, companies to teams, limited signed runs, original merch swatches on cards. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on a lot of the cards that would be worth something. Examples: SBF FTX seed round, Palmer Luckey Oculus, Elon PayPal would all have to be retroactively created and would be far less desirable than if they were made at the time. Last issue with it - there’s not a definable number of startups each year. Drawing the line on who gets a card and who doesn’t is hard without defined teams and rosters like they have for sports. Lots of companies and founders go under the radar before they’re common knowledge and would not even have rookie card equivalents because the card company wouldn’t know about them at the time of inception.

  IMPORTANT PSA: Tipping Through Streamelements can get you doxed if the person you are tipping has their Setting toggled off (which I think it is by default) which says Tippers may edit their username. If they have it where tippers may not edit their username and then must use only their paypal credentials, then the streamer being tipped will see your full name. Thankfully, I have trustworthy friendos and I found this out after tipping. We didn't know it was a streamer setting issue, we thought it was on the tippers end. Thought I'd get the info out to all the peeps taking tips through streamelements. Below is an image of where to find that setting.

  @dbrand @robot I can't seem to be able to purchase your products with PayPal. Website broken, or payment backend changed?

  I'm holding my status as a former video editor and YouTuber for the time being because of another PayPal email confirming the permanent deactivation of my account after I contacted support about resolving disputes and negative balances. I can't use another payment system to refund my VGen clients and resolve the disputes from PayPal as it's locked on the payment platform, and sadly Wise, Payoneer and Stripe - the alternatives for client payments - isn't accessible in my country. It is potential that I'm requesting @_VGen_ support to ban my account permanently due to this mess - and I can't open my comms any longer - due to both my broken reputation and my PayPal account being banned. I'll update you when there's more info.
