  One of the best moments of building @usefelar so far. A producer just signed up and messaged me: “I had to leave BeatStars because of the PayPal issue.” This is exactly why I’m building FELAR. Producers shouldn’t have to give up selling their music because they can’t access a payment method. We’re fixing that. 🧡

  Daily Brief (28 August) 1. PayPal ($PYPL ): reports that the Advent/Stripe consortium walked away from takeover talks sent shares plunging as much as 14%. Although some analysts flagged factors that could support a rebound, I am always going to call it the beautiful PainPal. 2. Marvell ($MRVL ) posted a strong quarter but shares fell as much as 8% and headed for their worst day in a month, with investors fixated on delayed timing of the Google AI deal revenue. 3. Fed rate-path uncertainty spiked after Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments pushed hike odds higher, turning the September decision into a coin flip. Market went green regardless but it did not sustain that long and we saw a delayed reaction to Fed’s comments. 4. Retail earnings were mixed but skewed positive: Gap/Old Navy parent $GAP jumped as much as 15% on an 11th straight quarter of comp-sales growth, while Walmart ($WMT ) quietly settled a federal opioid lawsuit without disclosing terms. Good news for $GAP is good news for $ZETA 5. Software seems officially back. Autodesk ($ADSK) raised guidance on strong Q2 revenue growth and Salesforce ($CRM) jumped on a Q2 beat, while Rubrik ($RBRK) sold off as investors questioned its results. 6. Amazon ($AMZN) gained about 4% after Evercore argued agentic AI could boost its retail growth outlook. 7. Eli Lilly ($LLY) got an FDA nod expanding Mounjaro's use for heart risk reduction. 8. Take-Two ($TTWO) landed a Netflix tie-in ahead of GTA VI. Netflix servers went down briefly as gamers flooded to watch the trailer. RATE HIKE and VIX SPIKE MIGHT BE COMING FOR US THIS SEPTEMBER.

  @BullTheoryio PayPal turned down over $50 billion thinking the buyers would raise their number, and instead the whole thing just disappeared. Now the stock is down 12% and that massive LBO never happened. Feels like they misread how serious the other side was about walking

  @utd_showtime and she’s been trying for awhile to help get a fund out for this family. she posted it for her bday (july 4) and the donations were closed, then she posted a new gofundme for her dog’s bday (aug 19) and it got taken down in less than an hour. hopefully this paypal one stays up!

  $PYPL — PayPal Holdings Stripe + Advent's ~$50B buyout bid has collapsed (Bloomberg). Shares down 12-15% premarket — a takeover-premium unwind, not an earnings problem. P/E: ~10x, back near the sub-8.5x all-time floor (hit Q1 2026). Business is unchanged — the acquirer walked.

  @Akshithrao @nischalsharma_ @Razorpay well honestly Akshith it's not really that good. if i have to integrate PayPal at the end of day, give commission to them as then on top of that my customers can't just easily pay with their cards outside india without paypal - it creates lot of issues.

  My PayPal account has been receiving penny donations every day 20 times a day for over a year now from random accounts that I assume had their accounts stolen. I contacted PayPal multiple times to which they told me “we are aware, just do nothing” They then locked my account, I had to prove it was me not stealing money by providing info I shouldn’t have had to provide. I got that resolved. Today my account was permanently disabled due to the fraud that I reported numerous times to which they say I can’t appeal. TLDR: I report issue to PayPal, they fix nothing, they ban my account. What a dogshit company. Absolute scum of the earth.

  PayPal was literally killing small businesses, holding their funds endlessly without any explanation. Now they've become a total failure. Wise @Wise your time is coming. Your company stock has been stagnant for 5 years. Eventually, short sellers will pile up on your garbage stock and push the price down.

  @QLiu1808 @nicewhen i assume it's a phishing scam where the email in question has a link that leads to a website with a UI similar to paypal where the person has to log in and then their login info gets forwarded to the scammers

  93% of people chasing passive income in 2026 will make less than $200 total. Not because the opportunities don't exist. Because they're being sold a fantasy instead of a system. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody in this space wants to say out loud: Passive income is not passive at the start. Ever. Every YouTuber, every course seller, every 'laptop lifestyle' account is showing you month 36 of their journey. Not month one. Not the 14-hour days, the failed products, the $0 PayPal dashboards they stared at for six straight months. The 2026 version of this conversation is even more dangerous. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry so much that everyone is flooding the same channels simultaneously. Digital products. Faceless YouTube. Print on demand. Notion templates. The market isn't dead, but it is deafeningly loud. So what actually works right now? The people winning are not finding secret niches. They are building small, boring, systematic operations in overlooked corners of existing platforms. One person I know nets $4,100 a month selling licensed music loops to content creators. Another clears $2,800 monthly licensing Excel templates to small accounting firms. Neither of them went viral. Neither has a personal brand. They solved a specific problem for a specific person and automated the delivery. That is the real definition of passive income. Solve once. Deliver forever. The side hustle culture of 2026 is obsessed with the aesthetic of freedom. The people actually achieving it are obsessed with the mechanics of it. There is a massive difference between those two groups.

  visa just tightened the number that can freeze your store. most sellers have no idea it moved. the numbers: 1. visa's threshold dropped to 1.5% this year 2. stripe caps around 0.5% 3. shopify payments and paypal sit closer to 1% your real danger line is probably tighter than whatever you've been told. cross it and you're not getting a warning. you're getting: - a reserve hold on 20% of payouts - or a full shutdown while the money you already made sits frozen. the fix isn't clever, it's boring: 1. respond to every support ticket inside 12 hours 2. run every ad claim through one test — would this survive your own mother reading it most flags trace back to one of those two. not the product.

  @BullTheoryio PayPal took the deal-break hit after Stripe and Advent walked. Same sector, Klarna's CEO bought 692,506 shares on the open market at $14.37, a $9,949,164 filing. One is a broken bid. The other is a disclosed purchase. Plan status is not in the file.

  PayPal is down about 13% premarket after the Advent/Stripe consortium reportedly walked away. Their rejected bid was $60.50. $PYPL closed yesterday at $61.47 and now trades near $53.39. The part the headline misses: that is still about 13% above the roughly $47.27 price before the bid surfaced in July. Since then PayPal raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 and outlined $400M of savings this year. The deal premium disappeared. The entire rerating did not.

  @Adiofreak Not trying to blame ya, but why didn't you escalate the issue with them? That's clearly not something you're doing so you should have told them no they need to fix it and get what ever those accounts are to stop doing it. And if not that why did you still continue to use PayPal?
