  @end3of6days9 I recently paid off my PayPal Mastercard I've had for over 10 years. Within 2 days of paying my account balance off my credit limit was cut from $17,500.00 down to $380.00. Total BS cost me 18 points on my credit score.

  @BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.

  So I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

  I am getting bullish on $PYPL. I am down big on this one. I bought this position before I went on twitter. It's down 50% for me. But as you have come to know, I don't sell my losers either. Why am I bullish? PYPL is now open to spinning off Venmo. PayPal (the app) and Venmo are the #1 and #2 payment apps on smartphones. Payments are big business and there are a lot of competitors. PayPal has share but is getting beat by Apple and Google. But Venmo has a niche in payments. Small payments, group payments, very small business. It's social and users send money to people versus just businesses. It would be a good fit for somebody. I think that somebody is $CRCL or $COIN.

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 22 minutes ago

  $PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

  Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reported 22 minutes ago

  Bloomberg: PayPal just mapped out a plan to cut about 20% of its workforce. The cut could remove 4,500+ jobs from a base of about 23,800 employees, with management targeting at least $1.5B in savings over 2-3 years. The company’s problem is not that people stopped paying online, but that more of the valuable checkout layer is being squeezed by Stripe, Adyen, Apple Pay, Klarna, and other payment systems that sit closer to merchants or consumers. PayPal still processes huge volume, but its transaction margin dollars, the money left after processing costs, are expected to slightly decline this year, which means growth in payment activity is not cleanly turning into better profit. New CEO Enrique Lores is basically saying PayPal became too heavy, too complex, and too slow to execute, so the turnaround starts with fewer layers, lower costs, and more spending on modernizing the tech stack. --- bloomberg. com/news/articles/2026-05-05/paypal-plans-job-cuts-as-fintech-s-new-ceo-pursues-turnaround-strategy

  $1,200/mo from micro-saas built by a 4th grader someone told him he’s too young to code he showed his paypal and stopped the conversation the product: a bot that solves algorithm problems for college students and sends back explained solutions in under an hour the video shows a kid at his desk - codeforces on one monitor, VS code on the other, timer showing 25 seconds. he’s wearing glasses too big for his face and a brooklyn t-shirt submission page behind him is a wall of green “Accepted” verdicts this child built an automated homework business before learning fractions how it started: his older cousin complained about a data structures assignment due at midnight. the kid looked at it, said “that’s easy”, solved it in 10 minutes. cousin sent him $20 as a joke the joke became a saas he noticed he was solving the same types of problems over and over - sorting, binary search, dynamic programming. same patterns, different numbers. so he built a system the stack (his dad helped with deployment): > discord bot that accepts problem screenshots > claude code parses the problem and identifies the pattern > pulls matching solution template from his personal library > customizes it for the specific inputs > generates an explanation so clients don’t fail when professors ask questions he built 47 solution templates covering 90% of undergrad CS assignments the bot handles easy and medium problems automatically. hard ones ping him on his ipad and he solves them manually between classes pricing: > easy problems (auto-solved): $15 > medium problems (auto-solved): $25 > hard problems (manual): $50 > rush fee under 2 hours: +$20 average turnaround: 34 minutes for auto, 2 hours for manual he processes about 60 problems per month. $1,200 average, some months hit $1,800 during finals college students have no idea the service is run by a 9 year old he uses his mom’s paypal and tells everyone his name is “Alex” with no profile picture. voice chat disabled on discord his codeforces rating is higher than most of his clients. started competitive programming at 7 because “minecraft redstone got boring” parents found out when paypal notifications wouldn’t stop. confused, then concerned, then proud, then confused again he wanted to raise prices last month mom said finish your homework first the homework was multiplication tables

  PayPal is probably wondering why people are not using their platform anymore. For me, I shut down my account after they started, to prohibit purchases on legal items I buy. I never any company tell me what I can and can’t buy. Stupid business model.

  @S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

  Truthfully, I'm a $PYPL bear. I think this is a business with a declining model and they seem to squeeze every ounce of margin out of their customers, rather than growing their customer base. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't wether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow grower?
