  BREAKING: PayPal shares jump 17% following reports that Stripe and Advent International are preparing a $53B takeover offer. $PYPL This proposed $60.50 per share cash offer represents a 28% premium over where the stock was trading just before the news broke. The deal is backed by $50 billion in committed bank financing, with Stripe and private equity firm Advent aiming to split ownership of the payment giant 50/50 rather than breaking it up. Combining Stripe’s $1.9 trillion in annual payment volume with PayPal's $1.8 trillion would create an absolute behemoth, controlling roughly 3% of global GDP. For PayPal, this offer highlights a massive fall from grace since its pandemic-era peak in 2021, when its market value soared to $360 billion. Since then, intense competition from the likes of Apple Pay and Google Pay has squeezed PayPal's market cap down to a low of $36 billion. While PayPal’s new CEO Enrique Lores has been pushing internal restructuring and cost-cutting to spark a turnaround, analysts believe the board might hold out for a higher price—potentially up to $70 a share—before agreeing to a buyout.

  @CoinDesk @JennSanasie PayPal might actually be the prize here, not the problem. When giants fight to own it, that's not a dying brand - that's hidden value everyone missed.

  @Jeanne_Hamada People are terrible. It's always wise to just leave funds alone if your unsure or even refund it immediately through PayPal. They will charge you a fee for the "handling of the issue" which should be around $15 usd. Like what do you get for doing this? And you can't use $300 🤦

  My aunt found a cat that had been hit by a car. :( his diaphragm is ruptured, his ribs and jaw are broken, and he can’t eat solid food due to his jaw beingg broken. She took him to a vet and he said that if he doesn’t have surgery, he will die in 2 weeks. The surgery costs 14 million tomans (≈70 dollars) and unfortunately we cannot afford it. I don’t have paypal i just have a crypto wallet. Do u think it would help if i post it here? :( he’s in so much pain, cant breath, eat, or even pee easily.

  Folks,... PSA here. If you are still getting emails from: Geek Squad Norton Anti-Virus PayPal McAfee Best Buy Wal Mart, all telling you about money being taken from your account for anything, 1. look at the email address. That is a big indication it is not legit 2. go right to your bank account. You will see that the money has not gotten withdrawn 3. delete the email and send to spam. If you get a call from someone saying they are a relative, in trouble and need money, hang up and call family members directly. More than likely it's a scam. Calls from the: IRS Social Security Administration Other Governmental Agencies They are scams. No Governmental agency will call you and threaten to imprison you. It's a scam. Job offers via text or phone call, especially telling you to apply over the phone. Scam EZ Pass will not text you. All of their toll violations come via snail mail. US Postal Service and UPS, will not text you that there is a package that is undeliverable. Its a scam Highly recommend you follow @ScammerPayback and watch his youtube channel. Too many people are still falling for these scams. Even though they are years old scams. Too many people also losing their lifes savings as well. Please watch out for those you know that could be vulnerable to these things.

  While everyone watched PayPal and chips today, SpaceX quietly did something worse: it broke below its $135 IPO price for the first time since debut, down to $132.15. Only 4% of the float trades. The lockup expiration is still ahead. $SPCX #SpaceX #IPO #Trading

  @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 most humiliating chart in tech just became a private equity target. Retail is cheering a 28 percent premium on $PYPL like its a massive win. They are completely misreading who actually takes the prize here. Look at the slow bleed on the chart before this sudden jump. PayPal was valued at $360 billion back in the 2021 frenzy. Now Stripe and Advent are rolling up with $50 billion in bank financing to buy the entire float for $60.50 a share. The retail crowd is praying this sparks a bidding war. The truth is far funnier. Silicon Valley is buying its own garbage at a discount. A private upstart is swallowing a former giant to control a machine that processes $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume. If you held this all the way down, the market is finally putting you out of your misery. Youre getting forcefully cashed out near the lows.

  Every TCG Discord runs on the same broken ritual DM a stranger, scroll a "vouch" channel hoping their trade history isn't faked, then Venmo/PayPal them and pray. I run a TCG community (Pokémon/One Piece/Riftbound) this happens 20x a day for $5–$150 trades: pulls, splits, breaks. Building Sleeved to fix it. Not for whales moving graded slabs (Collector Crypt already owns that), this is for everyone else's raw card trades that PayPal fees and fake vouches don't serve. 🧵

  Stripe and Advent International offered USD 53 billion for PayPal. USD 60.50 per share. 28% premium. USD 50 billion in committed bank financing. PayPal has not responded. To understand why this matters you need to understand PayPal's problem. 👇 At its peak it was worth USD 340 billion. Today it is worth USD 53 billion. It pioneered digital payments and ended up surrounded by Stripe on the enterprise side, Apple Pay and Google Pay on the consumer side and traditional banks that adopted instant transfers. Stripe does not need PayPal's consumer wallet. It needs the transaction volume, the merchant network, the payment behavior data of hundreds of millions of users and the e-money license across dozens of jurisdictions. That is not buying a product. It is buying distribution infrastructure that took twenty years to build. PayPal has not responded. It may demand a higher price. The deal may not close. But the direction it points to is clear: consolidation in digital payments is accelerating and those left behind are the first targets. Does Stripe with PayPal change the payments market structure or is this an offer that dies in negotiations? #Stripe #PayPal #Payments

  $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

  Elon Musk Bullied kid, Reader,Born 1971 in South Africa. Got bullied badly in school, once hospitalized. His escape? Books. He’d read 10+ hours daily - encyclopedias, sci-fi, rocket manuals. Rejected 3 times,At 28 he started PayPal. Sold it for $180M. Then he tried getting a job at Google. They said no. He used the money to fund 3 crazy ideas everyone laughed at. All-in on “impossible”*: 2008 was his worst year. SpaceX rockets failed 3 times. Tesla was weeks from bankruptcy. He split his last cash between both companies. If both failed, he’d be broke. Both survived. People called him “delusional”. But he bets on problems that matter: electric cars, space, AI. His rule: “When something is important enough, you do it even if odds aren’t favorable.” From getting punched in school to building rockets that land themselves.

  @Dr_Crossroads This price action is actually quite normal. The vast majority of tech IPOs experience a "broken IPO" at some point during their first 36 months in the public markets. (One notable exemption: ARM Holdings...) Will $CRWV reach your 2029 targets? Perhaps. But it is quite likely that it is going below $40 first. Even your beloved Palantir: - It closed the first day of trading at $9.50 on September 30, 2020; it dropped to $5.92 in December 2022. One thing I would caution you about is that those $120 Dec 2028 LEAPs you mentioned... they can easily expire worthless if $CRWV is to be acquired at some point over next two years. I have a similar situation today with PayPal: the stock is up big (which is nice), but my $50 Dec 2028 LEAPs are actually down. Still in green, but they were supposed to be multi baggers to offset my $PYPL tax harvest losses from last year. Now their value is capped at $10.50 (or so), until the offer is raised - or removed.

  @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
