  @weary_centurion The offer is absurd in many ways. Your take is one of many, and one clearly wrong. I do have my own valuation metrics, and I value it at 80-100$ stock, even more with the controlling premium. 110-115$ would be an acceptable number. For that number, I would prefer Paypal to cut 90% of the workforce, Elon Style, and see how it goes. It coult triple EPS. Then fix what gets broken. Easy PE play here.

  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.

  Weary Centurion (@weary_centurion) reported 7 minutes ago

  @ztipme Go on then why is my take wrong? You probably don’t realise I was full port PayPal at one point. I know the business very well. I actually think it’s worth $80-90 per share. So we probably have a more similar view than you think. But you cannot discount the fact the business is declining and is under constant pressure from competitors. It also has a very stubborn, toxic corporate culture which is the biggest problem of all. This is what happens when a good business gets mismanaged for a long period of time. The moves taken under Schulman between 2015-2023 broke the company permanently. Alex Chriss could have turned it around imo if he had taken over earlier in 2021 maybe. But it was too late and too much damage has been done. I am open to opposing views though

  $PYPL FINALLLLLLLYYYYY. I have 10 call LEAPS expiring in 2028 and I was down 75%! Stripe and Advent International just offered to buy PayPal for over $53 billion! - cash bid of $60.50 per share - roughly 28% premium over tuesday’s close - shares surged 18% premarket to ~$56.10 - paypal has been reluctant to engage so far - no on-record comments from any party yet paypal has been resisting, but can they really ignore a 28% premium in this market? 🤔 I'm gonna be mad if they reject it...I swear their stock will go to $20 or less

  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

  Folks,... PSA here. If you are still getting emails from: Geek Squad Norton Anti-Virus PayPal McAfee Best Buy Wal Mart, all telling you about money being taken from your account for anything, 1. look at the email address. That is a big indication it is not legit 2. go right to your bank account. You will see that the money has not gotten withdrawn 3. delete the email and send to spam. If you get a call from someone saying they are a relative, in trouble and need money, hang up and call family members directly. More than likely it's a scam. Calls from the: IRS Social Security Administration Other Governmental Agencies They are scams. No Governmental agency will call you and threaten to imprison you. It's a scam. Job offers via text or phone call, especially telling you to apply over the phone. Scam EZ Pass will not text you. All of their toll violations come via snail mail. US Postal Service and UPS, will not text you that there is a package that is undeliverable. Its a scam Highly recommend you follow @ScammerPayback and watch his youtube channel. Too many people are still falling for these scams. Even though they are years old scams. Too many people also losing their lifes savings as well. Please watch out for those you know that could be vulnerable to these things.

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  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

  Premarket movers Mag 7stocks are mostly higher (Apple +0.6%, Amazon +0.3%, Microsoft +0.3%, Tesla +0.2%, Meta Platforms +0.2%, Alphabet -0.5%, Nvidia -0.2%) ASML Holding NV ADRs (ASML) gain 3% after the company lifted its annual sales forecast for the second time this year and laid out plans to increase production as a surge in artificial intelligence spending drives demand for the Dutch company’s chip-making machines. BlackRock (BLK) gains 4% after pulling in $192 billion of net client cash in the second quarter, with investors pouring money into exchange-traded funds and pushing total assets above $15 trillion for the first time. Elevance Health (ELV) falls 7% after boosting its profit guidance by less than Wall Street had hoped, as the company grapples with recent federal policy changes that have made healthcare more expensive. Peer health insurers are also lower, with Humana (HUM) down 1.6% and Centene (CNC) falling 4%. Lionsgate Studios (LION) climbs 7% after Reuters reported that the company is exploring a sale and has attracted takeover interest from Bollore Group. Reuters cited three unidentified people familiar with the matter. PayPal (PYPL) jumps 20% after Reuters reported Stripe and private equity company Advent ​International have made a joint offer to ‌buy PayPal for $60.50 per share, valuing the payments firm at more than $53 billion. Pentair (PNR) tumbles 22% after the water treatment company cut its adjusted earnings per share guidance for the full year. The company also said it appointed Robert Fishman as interim CFO after Nicholas Brazis resigned on July 10 to pursue another opportunity at a private company. Phoenix Education (PXED) drops 10% after the online education company trimmed its net revenue guidance for the full year. SK Hynix ADRs (SKHY) fall 6%. SpaceX (SPCX) is up 0.7% after closing on Tuesday just $1 above the IPO price. (Source BBG)

  Overall, Qualitate’s panel backs Stripe’s strategic logic for the acquisition. Stripe already wins in the infrastructure layer, and $53B buys the checkout preference & consumer recognition that it hasn't been able to replicate (though it will also have to inherit the consumer/merchant upgrade issues that have been holding PayPal back). PayPal's board response is expected ~July 20th.
