  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

  PayPal: We recognize you on this device. PP (seconds later): fill in the secret code we will text you. Also PP (seconds after): please check your email for a secret code. You didn’t really recognize me then, did you, PP? It’s okay, I get it. I’m terrible with names, too.

  VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reported 14 minutes ago

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  @NoLimitGains PayPal’s stock is at the same price it was in 2016. Revenue is up 207%. Profit is up 271%. Everyone reads that and assumes the stock is cheap. The market is saying something different. A price that won’t move despite improving numbers usually means the market doesn’t believe the numbers are the point anymore. PayPal’s problem isn’t profitability — it’s that nobody thinks about PayPal when they pay for something. Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo. The business got bigger while the brand got quieter. Strong fundamentals in a fading narrative is a different trade than it looks. #Stocks #Markets

  @COV_VP @codeofvets @stripe I did see this. After I raised the original issue. The new system is far better than PayPal. Just be aware that their system will try to add a company to your registration. They tried adding my Condo association to my registration because I pay dues online.

  @codeofvets @GretchenPSmith @PayPal How does PayPal even stay in business? With all of the problems people have faced with them especially the hacked accounts, and all of the fraudulent messages, it’s hard to believe that they have much of a customer base anymore. Haven’t used them in years, and never again.
