  @GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD

  @bols_daniel For PayPal to work as an investment, u only need these people who are slow to change to keep using PayPal/venmo for 8 more years. 8 years of constant FCF, PayPal is free.

  @TechX1320 @linuxuser1996 PayPal works on GrapheneOS with the per-app compatibility mode. It recently started requiring disabling secure spawning but works fine with the other defaults. It's a bug in PayPal's anti-tampering code and they'll likely fix it soon. It's unrelated to it not working elsewhere.

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.

  A couple of days ago, my PayPal app was updated, and I find it incredibly slow, tedious, and unintuitive. Does anyone else feel the same way? :(

  GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported 28 minutes ago

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  THE BUYERS LEFT. PAYPAL $PYPL FELL WITH THE SALE PRICE: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.7% today. Two groups who said they might buy the whole company walked away, and the extra price that bet was carrying disappeared in one day. THE LEMONADE STAND You run a lemonade stand. A bigger lemonade company and a rich grown-up tell everyone they will buy the WHOLE stand. They name a price: $60.50 for each piece. Other kids start paying $61 for a piece, because a sale at $60.50 is already on the table and maybe someone pays more. Then the buyers say never mind. Nobody puts a new offer down. A piece is now worth what kids will pay for the lemonade itself, not for a sale that is not happening. That is today. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED On July 15, Reuters reported that Stripe, a privately held payments company, and Advent International, a firm that buys whole companies, had offered $60.50 a share - about $53B for all of PayPal. The stock went $47.37 to $55.52 that day: +$8.15 / +17.2%, on 91.0M shares. Thursday it closed at $61.47, still a little above the bid. Thursday night Bloomberg reported, citing people it did not name, that Stripe and Advent had dropped the pursuit. PayPal, Stripe, and Advent each declined to comment. The Wall Street Journal had already reported that PayPal's board found $60.50 too low. Friday opened at $53.74, touched $52.62, and settled at $53.66. That is -$7.81 / -12.7% on 36.0M shares against Thursday's 9.2M, about four times that day's volume. The S&P 500, the 500-company average most retirement accounts track, closed at 7,711.76, -19.23 pts / -0.25%. One canceled sale is loud. The average is not. A share is still above the $47.37 it fetched the day before anyone mentioned a bid. The extra for the sale left. The stand did not. WHAT THE STAND ACTUALLY SOLD PayPal runs the checkout button on websites, plus Venmo and Braintree. San Jose. Enrique Lores is chief executive. The last report, July 28, covering the three months ended June 30: - Total payment volume - the dollars that moved through its buttons: $486.4B, +10%. - Sales, money coming in the door: $8.68B, +5%. - Transaction margin dollars - the money it keeps after the cost of moving a payment: $3.9B, +1%. - Profit per share, the profit split across every share in existence: $1.25 on the strict count, -3%; $1.38 with some items set aside, -1%. Volume grew ten times faster than the cash kept. That is the lemonade, and it was true before anyone named $60.50. WHERE IT SITS PayPal is 40th of 48 on the Quality-Value Len5, the style that hunts a durable business at a fair price. The fair-price half is loud at about 10 times the last year of profit - ten dollars of share price for each dollar earned. The durable half is that July 28 gap: 10% more dollars moving, 1% more cash kept. It also bought back $1.5B of its own stock in that quarter, about 33 million shares, which raises every remaining owner's slice. The gap closing would firm the read. Another quarter of volume outrunning the cash-kept line by that much would break it. A 12.7% drop after an unsigned offer dies is the opposite of a breakout on the company's own news. WHAT A CURIOUS GROWN-UP CAN WATCH Whether PayPal, Stripe, or Advent puts the walk-away in their own words - none of the three has - and whether the next quarter's cash-kept line grows any closer to that 10% volume pace. Not investment advice.

  PayPal just dropped 18% pre-market Stripe and Advent walked away from the $50B+ buyout, according to bloomberg and honestly, this hurts because a lot of PayPal’s 40% rally this quarter was driven by takeover hopes, not some massive turnaround in the business WSJ reported that PayPal thought the first offer was too low and pushed for more. they held out for a better deal and ended up with nothing. that’s the risk with saying no in M&A. now the market cap is around $52.6B, basically where the offer was. except there’s no buyer left to support that valuation. the old problems are still there too. PayPal was way ahead in digital payments, but Apple, alphabet and others have been slowly eating into that lead this isn’t really about PayPal suddenly getting worse today. it’s the market realizing the bailout deal isn’t coming.

  US STOCKS FALL AFTER WARSH SIGNALS POSSIBLE RATE HIKES Remarks by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh dominated Wall Street Friday.: “It was a down day for US equities, but a winning week. This after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh admitted the need for rate hikes if inflation doesn't cool soon. Company new stock in PayPal fell sharply as Stripe and Advent walked away from a $50 billion buyout deal. The chipmaker Marvel Technology was down. As its results underwhelmed the street, even though they had 37% revenue growth, Gap shares jumped with a new veteran CEO appointed to run the Old Navy division, and next week, earnings from Broadcom, Dell, and Lululemon, and the August jobs report is out next Friday.

  Most owners still use Claude like a polite intern who rewrites emails. That is the least useful thing it can do. Claude for Small Business now sits in Cowork with QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. It can reconcile, chase, draft, and package work. You approve before anything sends, posts, or pays. Many never flipped the toggle. They kept pasting into chat and wondering why it sounded generic. Stop asking it for sentences. Give it a job. 1. Build a business brain. One Project: offer, pricing, voice samples, FAQ, three winning proposals, two that lost, who you sell to, what you refuse. Skip this and you keep editing sludge. 2. Monday pulse. One page: cash, uncleared settlements, pipeline, this week's commitments, three things that hurt if ignored. Ends the twelve-tab morning. 3. Chase invoices. It reads open invoices, checks settlements, drafts the follow-up, queues it. You approve. Overdue cash stops rotting in a Friday spreadsheet. 4. Close the month for your accountant. Reconcile, flag mismatches, plain-English P&L, export a packet. They want fewer surprises, not a novel. 5. Forecast the ugly week. Thirty days out. Payroll vs incoming cash. Name the week you run out if two invoices slip. 6. Find busy work that loses money. Job costs, SKUs, clients. What looks healthy on revenue and thin on contribution. 7. First-pass contracts. MSA, vendor deal, lease. Flag odd indemnity, auto-renew traps, deviations from your terms. Not your lawyer. The highlighter before the lawyer. 8. Proposal factory. Load three that closed. New draft from a discovery call, same scope style, disclaimers already in. If first drafts still take half a day, the Project is empty. 9. Discovery call to next moves. Transcript in. HubSpot brief, follow-up, open questions, scope outline out. 10. Triage inbound. Sort by fit, budget signal, time-to-close. Draft the yes, the not-now, and the no. Stop answering in arrival order. 11. Support voice from real tickets. Paste twenty replies you were proud of. New complaints get that register, not helpdesk English. 12. Campaign from the slow stretch. Where revenue dipped. Which send moved pipeline. Then Canva assets against that brief, not "we should post more." 13. Repurpose one real offer. Workshop, drop, case study. Sales email, reminder, landing section, three posts that do not sound cloned. One source. Many surfaces. 14. Lead magnet that does work. ROI calculator, quiz, scope estimator as an Artifact. If it answers a question your sales call always answers, keep it. 15. Hire with a scorecard. Role brief, first-week plan, candidate emails. Same standard every time someone quits. 16. Handbook answers the team. Policies, PTO, invoicing, refunds. Staff ask Claude instead of you at 7pm. 17. Tax folder while it is boring. Missing docs, categories, questions your accountant asks in March. October is a gift. April is a tax. 18. Vendor quotes on one page. Price, term, lock-in, exit, the thing buried on page nine. 19. Turn the Monday task you hate into a Skill. Weekly report, recap, SOW format. If it repeats and the bar is specific, stop re-prompting it. 20. Cowork the sites with no connector. Portal report, form, the CSV a vendor still emails. Messy. Cheaper than a VA on the same six screens. Do not let it send, post, or pay in week one. Watch drafts. Fix the voice. Then widen the leash. Owners getting time back are not better prompters. They gave Claude a filing cabinet, a few tools, and one job with a human checkpoint. Start with the Project, the Monday pulse, and invoice chase. The rest can wait until those feel boring. Which of these replaced a real hour, and which still produced a draft you rewrote?

  🚨 A $50B PayPal deal just became a shareholder haircut 🧾 M&A checkpoint: • Proposed takeover value: about $50B • Buyers: Advent and Stripe consortium • Status on Friday, August 28: talks abandoned • $PYPL reaction: down roughly 12% 💰 The market did not price in "maybe." It priced in a payday. When the buyers walked, the premium walked with them. Retail holders do not get a breakup fee. They get the chart. I love how Wall Street calls this "deal uncertainty" after bidding up the rumor like it was guaranteed cash. 📉 Buyout rumor investors: holding the bag 📈 Deal buyers: walking away Ahead of the M&A trap, or already holding the bag?
