  Stripe + Advent offered to BUY $PYPL for $60.50 per share, that’s over $53 billion total and about 28% higher than the current price! It looks like a great deal for Stripe/Advent (they get tons of customers). But $60.50 feels low, PayPal might be worth closer to $90–$100. 
Still, PayPal should probably accept because growth has been slow and they’re struggling to fix it alone. 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: PayPal shares jump 19% on the news.

  they're going to come for a lot more of us and a lot of us don't even have real bank accounts anymore - just these technofash-owned-and-operated online moneyholders like paypal, cashapp and venmo - who already shut down Palestinian and solidarity accounts daily.

  so glad paypal is loosing market share. once a 300 billion company now down to only 50b.

  anonymous banker (@TheAnonBanker) reported 24 minutes ago

  $PYPL is now up 32% since this analysis. The thesis was never that PayPal would suddenly become exciting again. It was that the market had priced a real cash flow business like it was broken. Sometimes the opportunity is not in finding perfection. It is in finding where expectations became too pessimistic.

  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.

  @Momomovestwicee @veleda_28 @TWICEUROPE Aah okay!! I am trying to pay directly in € with my creditcard (paypal isn't an option when paying in €), 'cause the items are cheaper then! But good to know that if this error doesn't get fixed and customer support doesn't respond, I should be able to order with paypal! 🤍

  PayPal is up 30% off the lows. This is great for bag holders. But nobody… and I mean nobody… should be doing victory laps. If your average is $120 and the stock is trading at $60, you’re still down 50%. A message for the “I told you so” gang.

  A login lure email impersonates a real platform you use. Microsoft. Google. Apple. PayPal. Your bank. Netflix. The logo is right. The formatting matches what the real platform sends. The email feels legitimate because it was designed to.

  @AskPayPal Hi Support Team, I am currently traveling abroad and urgently need assistance accessing my account. While trying to log in, I was prompted to reset my password. However, every time I attempt to do so, the process gets stuck with the following error message: “We’re having trouble making sure it’s you.” Because I am currently out of my home country, I cannot easily call your phone support. Please DM me so I can share it securely and verify my identity. Could you help me reset my password manually? Thanks a lot

  $PYPL PayPal — While the reported proposal highlights deep-value interest in PayPal's consumer ecosystem, actual execution remains highly uncertain due to integration complexity and regulatory hurdles, leading analysts to advise against chasing the rally. PayPal shares surged 17% (trading around $55, down from their 2021 all-time high of $310) following reports of a $53 billion buyout proposal. The offer features $50 billion in secured financing, with Stripe and Advent taking equal 50% stakes. The strategic objective is connecting Stripe's merchant-side back-end tech with PayPal's consumer front end, including Venmo and 439 million active users. Wall Street remained skeptical as the stock did not reach the full 28% premium implied by the offer, and analysts at William Blair maintained a "market perform" rating. #Tech #FinTech

  @magicalbean_uwu I don't think you can use invoices on a personal account. Cause usually paypal buckles down on accounts using a personal account doing x amount of business on it Hence why they increased your limit a little bit. I think after a while cause they know kofi can sell things they are labeling it as business so just became full

  The Agentic Economy 2024 was the year of LLMs. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and models like them responded to prompts and that was enough. But 2025 brought something different. Models were no longer just responding, they were planning, calling tools, executing code, coordinating with other systems, and doing all of this without constant human oversight. This transition transformed AI from something you query into something you delegate to. This is called agentic AI and with it an entirely new economy began to take shape. To understand the scale of this economy a few numbers are worth looking at. The AI agents market is expected to grow from 7.84 billion dollars in 2025 to 52.62 billion dollars by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 46.3%. McKinsey projects that agentic commerce could orchestrate between 3 and 5 trillion dollars in global revenue by 2030. These numbers are not theoretical, the infrastructure is already being built. In just the six month period between April and September 2025, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe and Google all launched agentic payment infrastructures. So what are these agents actually doing? They are purchasing services on your behalf, paying other agents, accessing APIs, buying data, and doing all of this while making decisions in fractions of a second. Stablecoin transaction volume reached 33 trillion dollars in 2025, up 72% year over year, with supply surpassing 300 billion dollars. Agentic payments and machine to machine payment flows are cited as one of the key drivers behind this growth. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are critical for agents because they allow programmable payments without price volatility. But legacy payment infrastructure was never designed for this world. Credit cards require human authentication, subscriptions demand upfront commitments, and API keys depend on manual onboarding processes. All of these systems were built for humans. When millions of agents are making countless payments per second none of these systems work technically or economically. x402 and the Awakening of HTTP 402 When web standards were being written in 1991 HTTP status code 402 was added and defined as 'Payment Required'. That day it was reserved, set aside for future use. This code waited more than thirty years and when its future arrived it turned out not to be human. The x402 standard activated this dormant code as a native payment layer for the internet: a server responds to a request with 402 and a price, the client pays on-chain in stablecoins, retries the request with proof of payment and receives the service. No account creation, no card on file, no subscription, no human. The protocol was launched in September 2025 by Coinbase and Cloudflare through the x402 Foundation. The coalition behind it is unusually broad, Google, Visa, AWS, Circle, Anthropic and Vercel are all core foundation members. Within five months of launch x402 had processed over 100 million transactions. In a single week in October 2025 the protocol handled approximately 500,000 payments, a 10,780% increase from the prior month. The technical side of x402 is very clean. For a developer integration is a single line of middleware, set a price per endpoint, point to a facilitator, and the API can charge per request in stablecoins. When an agent wants to access a service payment happens automatically inside the HTTP request, settlement completes within the round-trip. Zero human intervention. The Problem: Public Rails Don't Work for the Agentic Economy Now we come to the critical question. When millions of agents make transactions and every one of those transactions is visible on a public blockchain, what happens? Which APIs the agent uses, which data it accesses, which services it purchases, how much it pays, who it works with, all of it becomes completely visible. This is not just a user privacy problem, it means the strategy and logic the agent operates on is open to competitors. Is a company's agent feeding from the same data source as a rival's agent? How much is it spending on which compute services? How are supply chain decisions being made? All of this becomes readable on a public chain. On top of that there is the gas fee problem. On Ethereum and Tron fees shift constantly with network congestion. If an agent is making hundreds of microtransactions per second modeling your unit economics becomes impossible because you have no idea what costs will be in advance. For the agentic economy to work payment rails must be both private and predictably priced. Why Bitcoin is the Neutral Rail There are several clear answers to why Bitcoin stands out as the ideal settlement layer in this equation. First, censorship resistance. No central actor can stop, censor or restrict agent payments. For agents to operate autonomously the payment infrastructure must also be autonomous and uncensorable. Second, deterministic finality. Bitcoin's proof-of-work security is the most battle-tested and proven consensus mechanism in existence. For agent payments settlement must be definitive and irreversible. Third, global liquidity. Bitcoin is accessible everywhere in the world with no geographic restrictions and agents operate without borders. Fourth, the UTXO model. Unlike Ethereum's account-based model Bitcoin's UTXO structure allows non-conflicting transactions to be validated in parallel, a natural advantage for high-frequency agent payments. Where @Utexocom Fits The layer that combines Bitcoin's advantages with USDT and makes it production-ready for the agentic economy is Utexo. The RGB protocol issues and transfers USDT as a native asset on Bitcoin's own layer. Transfer details never get written to a public ledger thanks to client-side validation, only cryptographic commitments are anchored to Bitcoin UTXOs. So when an agent makes a payment who sent what to whom never leaks outward. The Lightning Network allows these assets to settle in milliseconds, at around 200ms latency. Utexo handles channel management, liquidity and routing entirely internally, with fees fixed and predefined at the protocol level. For the agentic economy this combination means the following. The agent pays in sub-second time, costs are predictable, payment details are private, and Bitcoin's finality provides the settlement guarantee. With the Mint component USDT from Ethereum, Tron or Solana can be moved onto Bitcoin rails. With the Swap component non-custodial exchange between BTC and USDT is possible. And the SDK reduces all of this complexity to a single API call, meaning a developer integrating agent payments never has to run a Lightning node or manage RGB infrastructure. Tether not only supporting this infrastructure but leading the seed round themselves, and preparing to issue USDT natively on Bitcoin through RGB protocol v0.11.1, answers the question of which rails the agentic economy will be built on. Machines are making payments now. Those payments need to be private, predictably priced, and anchored to Bitcoin. The infrastructure is here.

  PayPal up 30% off lows – nice for bagholders. But if your avg is $120 and it's $60, you're still down 50%. No victory laps. Cut losers fast or market cuts you. Discipline > hope.
