  @AskPayPal Hello @AskPayPal. My PayPal account was recently permanently limited because it was reportedly linked to another account with unresolved issues. I believe this may relate to an old account I created years ago but never really used.

  Stripe and Advent just told you PYPL is worth $53B+ while the stock trades like it's a legacy embarrassment. The "broken PayPal" narrative was always a valuation story dressed up as an operational one. Turns out the fixer-upper has bidders. 👀 $PYPL

  $PYPL The Half of PayPal the Market Was Pricing On July 15 Stripe and the investment firm Advent International offered about $53 billion for PayPal, $60.50 a share at a 28 percent premium, with PayPal's board due to meet on July 20 (CNBC). The market had spent two years pricing PayPal as a fading checkout brand. The bid is a sign it was valuing the wrong half of the company. The bearish case is about flow, the checkout button losing ground at the point of sale to Apple Pay, to Shopify, to a dozen others. That decline is real, and it is what the multiple reflects. What it leaves out is the stock of accounts sitting behind the button. PayPal holds more than 400 million funded consumer accounts, Venmo included, and a funded account is not just a logo, it is a stored balance with a linked funding source and a verified identity. This is what makes the bid make sense. The whole industry is moving toward agent commerce, where software does the buying, and an agent cannot spend from nothing. It needs a funded account to draw on, permission to spend it, and an identity behind it. Stripe owns the merchant side of payments and has very few consumer wallets of its own. PayPal is the largest pool of pre-funded consumer accounts outside the banks. A company that owns the merchant rails is not paying a premium and borrowing $50 billion for a checkout button, it is buying the thing it cannot build on its own, a base of accounts that are already funded and ready for an agent to spend from. A 28 percent premium on a company the market had written down as a runoff is the buyer saying, in effect, that the base of accounts is worth more than the flow everyone was tracking. The mispricing, as I read it, is that the market valued the half of PayPal that is shrinking and gave away the half that is scarce. This is a bid and not yet a deal, so the tells are close at hand. Whether the board engages after July 20 or holds out for more will say whether the base is worth what the bidder thinks. A rival suitor would be the market admitting the asset is rare. And the final terms, if there are any, will show who controls the combined accounts and rails, because that, rather than the app, is what an agent economy has to run through.

  Autoclosed by support, and now you're giving me warnings for asking PayPal to assist? I'm willing to close the case with PayPal but please, refund the unordered server boosts. This is unreasonable at this point.

  @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned Troy - a reminder that Proton was banned from PayPal. So their funding was done with Bitcoin. This is easy to set up with a @BtcpayServer server. I have faith in you. Gosh, even Pavel _himself_ just offered to help. So pls don't lose your legendary tech status Troy....

  Anyone else think @Ticketek_AU site is a joke? 6min countdown timers… first world problems, but had awesome tickets to Bryan Adam’s, went through PayPal for payment, by the time it finalised timer was over so didn’t register. Took my money, no tickets. Money was refunded about 20min later - got tickets, same price, nowhere near as good seats. Whichever bright spark put a 6min timer should be fired. Shittest customer experience ever

  David Sacks Reveals How the PayPal Mafia Got Started —"They saw the founding generation at PayPal as just a problem—just a bunch of cowboys they couldn't control." David: "To be honest, that's why PayPal has stagnated. As soon as it was acquired back in 2002, they basically blew out all the founders, all the founding DNA, and it was just kind of run by consulting types. You got to remember at that time it was acquired by eBay, and Meg Whitman had worked at Proctor and Gamble and Disney, and she spent like eight years at Bain. It was a very corporate mindset. Among all the internet companies of that era, it was definitely the most corporatist, and they saw the founding generation at PayPal as just a problem—just a bunch of cowboys they couldn't control. They made no effort to retain them, and I think they were kind of relieved when they all left. That's what created the PayPal mafia; normally in an acquisition, you'd lock up all the talent, but in this case, they locked them out. Jason: "They were like, 'These guys are hard to manage, change the keys.'" David: "I've said for a long time it's a misnomer to call it the PayPal mafia. It's really the PayPal diaspora." "Our homeland was taken over and they burned our temple and then kicked everybody out." "And that's why the whole PayPal mafia got started with all those companies."

  @bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.
