  I want to shed light on a serious issue I am currently experiencing with PayPal. The system is holding back my subscription project under an unfair risk profile simply because I operate from Chile. >> 1/3

  $PYPL Stripe & Advent have backed out of potential paypal takeover. Yet again, proving the current structure is not working. .@paypal mgmt should have to explain why the following is wrong. Paypal needs to become Venmo, and put the paypal brand to bed. The brand is a dinosaur and to most people, already does not exist. What are you holding on to ?? Venmo is the verb, and at least from my own experience, is the #1 payment app. From experience, Venmo business is what clients use, barely ever using cashapp, apple pay or zelle - DEFINITELY NOT PAYPAL. Become Venmo, become the Verb in the payment industry. Become one business with zero overlap, overlap is only expensive, not beneficial. If i'm wrong, explain to your shareholders why, because whatever it is you're doing or thinking, IT'S NOT WORKING. (no position). At the least, spin off Venmo to the public market.

  OK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something. PYPL MRNA

  @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.

  PayPal just lost its bid premium in one headline. $PYPL down 14% Bloomberg reported Stripe and Advent International dropped a pursuit valued at about $53 billion. The consortium had offered $60.50 a share in July, a roughly 28% premium. The board called that inadequate, citing regulation, financing and the turnaround under new CEO Enrique Lores. The stock fell more than 14% to around $52. That is near 10 times forward earnings versus a long-run average closer to 27 times. The market is pricing two things at once. The deal is off. And Apple Pay and the rest of digital payments still sit on the same field. A take-private that cannot clear the board does not fix either problem.

  @Adiofreak Had the same issue with troll attaxks where they send $ and within 24 hrs say they didnt.. They were alerted long ago to these attacks and were supposed to protect me but instead froze my income. Paypal wont even tell u why they are freezing it then ask u to appeal, how can i appeal without knowing why paypal played games to begin with?

  I envision each outgoing CEO of @PayPal leaving a note to their successor that goes something like this: “Dear [next guy], Pretty easy gig. Grab onto some new tech buzz and make the engineers incorporate it in a cheap way that draws in more users but doesn’t add any real value. You don’t want to add any significant operational load. IMPORTANT: Keep the customer service offshore, minimum wage, and with zero authority to fix real problems or escalate issues. Sit back, relax, and extract some wealth from the working class for the next 2-3 years. You’ll be all set for your another board seat and CEO role. Should go without saying, but we all have to as a formality: Make sure your replacement is a man. See you at the **** this weekend. Sincerely, [outgoing CEO]”

  I sent a support ticket to the PaidViewpoint people earlier today about PayPal no longer being a cash out option and they basically told me they're having an issue with their PayPal payment processor and they're hoping to get it back to working within 5-7 days.

  PAYPAL LOSES THE BIDDER $PYPL is getting the deal premium ripped out after Advent and Stripe walked from a $60.50 / ~$53B tilt. Stock closed $61.47. Premarket is sitting around $53, down ~13–15%. 🔹 Board already called the bid light 🔹 Rally this quarter was the rumor. Now it’s the business

  Great article @XinfinUSA. You touch on a lot of points that stand true. Each crypto cycle brings a new piece of the puzzle that will enhance the use of blockchain. Blockchains immutability and AI capabilities go hand in hand. It is also notable to point out that most people don’t care how an app works, they just care that it works and serves the function that solves their problem. PayPal for example, moving money around while keeping the buyer’s credit card or banking info private. Or Venmo allowing merchants to receive payment for goods. Most people don’t know how the money is moved, they just care that they get paid as a vendor or pay a merchant as a user while keeping your data safe. Similarly with blockchain, we need AI to facilitate how a user will interact with it and nothing else. In years time, 98% of the planet wont care if your payment happened on XDC, Solana, XRP or BTC. They will care the cost of the transaction and that it didn’t fail in the process. The integration of AI will definitely close the gap between blockchain and the users. Most companies developing on AI care about the nest phase, and that is compliance and identity of those agents. Can I trust this agent to move $$$ to pay for goods and services. Can your AI agent talk to my agent to complete this transaction without falling victim of a scam, etc. We’re seeing the shift with all the companies we are meeting regarding AI and the major part of that is compliance. To move money around the world, institutions want to know if the other person on the other side of the screen or phone are who they say they are. That they will do what they say they will do, and that you’ll get either your $ or the goods you ordered. IA agents wont be any different. Then blockchain will be the immutable layer for accountability and trustworthiness. Excellent article.

  $PYPL down 12%+ after the Stripe/Advent takeover story fell apart. Personally, I think this makes the setup MORE interesting. No acquisition premium. No easy catalyst. Now PayPal has to prove the business is worth more on its own. 👀 That’s the story I’m watching.

  I find it interesting PayPal fell ~13% this week after Stripe & Advent walked away from their $60.50/share takeover bid. At ~$54, $PYPL now trades at roughly: ~10x 2026 adjusted earnings ~8x adjusted FCF I think that is interesting because PayPal doesn’t need to return to high growth for the maths to work. Management is guiding to ~$5.38 of adjusted EPS and $6bn+ of adjusted FCF, while also planning roughly $6bn of buybacks this year. They’ve already reduced shares outstanding from ~920m to ~862m in six months. So even if total earnings barely grow, continued buybacks can still drive EPS higher. On current EPS alone: 10x = ~$54 12x = ~$65 15x = ~$81 If earnings hold up, buybacks continue and the market eventually decides PayPal deserves something closer to 15x earnings, you don’t need heroic growth assumptions to get a good return. Michael Burry has also argued the $60.50 offer was too low, putting his own lower-end intrinsic value estimate around $75–80, with a takeover value potentially closer to $100. So my thesis is: “Can PayPal protect its moat, keep generating ~$6bn of FCF, aggressively retire shares and eventually earn a less pessimistic multiple?” If yes, management's decision to turn down ~$60.50 could look like a great move!
