  ▪ Stripe Casually Bids $53 BILLION for PayPal $PYPL ▪ The $360 Billion Giant Nobody Wanted In July 2021, PayPal peaked near 360 billion dollars. Then Apple Pay and Google Pay ate its growth. By Tuesday's close it was a 47 dollar stock, down roughly 85 percent from the top. ▪ Stripe's $60.50 Ambush ▪ An 8 Percent Gap Tells the Real Story ▪ The Spread Is a Probability

  @thetrainline is the payment system down? I’ve been trying to book and I’ve tried Visa, Amex, PayPal, and Apple Pay. Any idea on when this’ll be resolved?

  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

  $PYPL - here is what will actually happen. In a very real sense, it is out management's hands: • PayPal Board receives credible unsolicited offer (from Stripe and Advent); Revlon duty kicks in. • Board immediately engages counsel and investment bank. • Board forms a committee to oversee the situation. • Committee has the i-bank suggest who else could bid. • Mid-process, someone strategically leaks the Stripe bid. This creates a new dynamic: given no large $PYPL anchor owner, the shareholder base quickly begins turning over from "long-term owners" to "event-driven / arb." Those new shareholders aren't looking for a long-term compounder, further pressuring the company to seek a takeout path. • Management and an i-bank work up the "stay independent" plan. Unfortunately, the comps are horrible ($FISV & $GPN), making 3rd-party bids hard to beat, even if you prefer to execute independently. • Conduct an initial IOI process to see if alternative bidders might come in higher than $60.50. They will. • Depending on what comes back, may expand outreach to additional bidder groups. Data room and diligence process become formalized. • Offer is going up from $60.50 to $65, then $68 (or whatever). Stripe probably competes in that range. • Board cannot justify the "stay independent" path. • Bank and committee whittle the bidder group down to a small set of finalists. • Seek "best and final" (sometimes more than once!). • Announce a deal anywhere from $60.50 to $70+. • Game over. I'm not saying that PayPal cannot stay independent and public; it could. I am saying it likely won't stay independent and public. If you don't have an anchor owner who can stand up to the dual forces of Revlon + Event-Driven shareholders, the momentum of the "process" takes over and makes it very difficult to say no to a credible offer at a premium. The die is already cast.

  @belladonaboo @TinyCritterRika Part of the issue is Paypal will sometimes just ban you if they arbitrarily decide they don't approve of the hentai you are drawing.

  @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.

  @AskPayPal I've never had a worse CSR experience with any company in my life, than I had with PayPal this week. And my issue is still not resolved, so I will have to muster up enough humanity to deal again with people who are not motivated to help me solve my problem.

  PayPal ($PYPL), despite Stripe’s reported bid at a 28% premium, is still down 4.5% YTD. Even more striking: the stock remains down over 80% in 5 years. Sometimes the best decision is accepting someone else can do better.

  Calamarei 🩸💀 2.0 Coming Soon 2026 (@CalamareiVT) reported 57 minutes ago

  My Twitch account was hacked. I don't know how. I don't know how it is possible payment information was changed after 4-5 years of the same payment information. No confirmation email from Twitch about payout method being changed. For the past 5 years as a creator on Twitch I have always received my payouts early. I recently changed my password on Twitch as well via the correct links sent by Twitch staff themselves (yes I know it was authentic as it was about getting a refund and I did receive the refund). I log in today to make sure there is not some sort of issue with the account, payment information needing to be reverified, a tax form, or something else holding up this months payment. I go to review my payment information, which requires 2 factor authentication btw, and the information looks fine until page 2 out of 3. My payout method had been changed to Paypal and an unknown email (10000% do not know or even heard of this email) for the paypal account. I changed the payout immediately. I reset all my connections with Twitch. I also checked my Twitch email. It was my email. My account email still tied to my account. Yet, no emails confirming payout changes, no alerts, nothing. I do not know how I got hacked. I don't know if it was third party. I have been in the IT field for years and consistently am looking out for phishing and scams. However this did happen and I now have a missing $900 and negative funds in my bank. I already reported this to Twitch and am working on reporting the account to PayPal as I type this. But I really 100% believe there needs to be email notifications sent out for any financial information changed on all platforms. I am still appalled that a system like that is not in place for a website associated with Amazon and functions as an employer to pay so many people on the platform. Where are the security protocols? Or just some IT 101 practices from companies. There is no excuse in 2026 to not have confirmation/authorization/notification emails for payout or financial details being changed. Stay safe.
