  Advent and Stripe walked away from $PYPL PayPal today. The biggest fintech take-private ever attempted... $60.50 a share, roughly $53 billion... died over price: the board rejected it in July, the talks for more went nowhere, and per Bloomberg the consortium moved on. PYPL closed down 12.7% at $53.66, a $45.9 billion market cap. Two things stand out. First, the stock is still well above the $38 area it traded at in February before the bid interest surfaced. The market didn't delete the takeover story today; it cut the strike. If the buyers return... Bloomberg says they could... the next number starts lower, in a market pricing 59% odds of a September hike. Second, look at what Stripe bought instead this month... OpenRouter, an AI model-routing startup, for a reported $7 billion-plus. Between a payments giant at 11x earnings and AI infrastructure, the capital picked the infrastructure. That is pretty much the whole 2026 tape in one decision. Standalone case for the bulls... ~10x earnings, $6B of annual free cash flow, buybacks running. The board is betting the turnaround beats the bid. As of tonight it's $7 billion behind.

  @ZidaneZ08902030 @ShubHQcom Neither, from what I can see, and that is the part that surprised me. My scoring tags sentiment per mention, not the reason, so I cannot give you a clean split. But I can check whether payments show up as a problem theme at all, and they do not. This week's e-commerce themes are unfair reviews, Meta Ads instability, account suspensions, dropshipping quality, margin pressure. Cumulatively it is shipping, inventory, ad costs, tax, account holds, chargebacks. No payments theme anywhere. Meanwhile Stripe has 130 mentions and PayPal 143. So payment tools never become the subject of a post. They get mentioned inside a post about something else, usually when a payout is held or a chargeback lands. That is what 65 percent neutral and zero percent positive actually looks like. Nobody writes about their processor. They write about the thing that went wrong around it. Your question exposed a real gap though. Reason tagging is going on the list.

  🚨 PAYPAL $PYPL IS GETTING CRUSHED: Shares are down ~13% after reports that Stripe and Advent abandoned their pursuit of PayPal. • Proposed offer: $60.50/share • Implied valuation: ~$53B • PayPal reportedly viewed the offer as too low The key now: the M&A premium is disappearing, forcing investors to value PayPal on its standalone turnaround. $PYPL

  Breakdown of the good news… 1. Shifting AI Off-Planet (The Energy Crisis Fix) The biggest hidden genius of the SpaceXAI / xAI merger is solving the global power crisis. Terrestrial AI data centers are consuming an unsustainable amount of Earth's electricity grid. [1] •What's Coming: SpaceX has filed to operate up to 1 million orbital data center satellites. •The Loop: Musk plans to use Starship to launch massive AI compute clusters directly into space. These space-based data centers will run on 100% pure, uninterrupted solar energy, bypassing Earth's power constraints completely. Starlink will then beam the AI processing power down to Earth instantaneously. [1, 2, 3] 🤖 2. The Internal "Circular Economy" Musk designs his companies so they don't have to rely on traditional, fragile global supply chains. Instead, his companies are their own primary customers. [1, 2] •Tesla’s factory labor: When Tesla rolls out its mass-produced Optimus Humanoid Robots, they won't be sold to the public first. They will be deployed inside Tesla’s own automotive factories to solve labor shortages and cut manufacturing costs to almost zero. [1] •The Compute Loop: The ultra-powerful AI chips designed by Tesla for its self-driving Robotaxis are funneled directly back to xAI to train newer versions of Grok. Nothing is wasted. [1] 🏦 3. Rewriting the Global Financial System Musk's oldest obsession is rebuilding the way money moves through the economy itself—a plan he has had since his early 1999 PayPal days. [1] •What's Coming: X is transitioning into an all-in-one financial hub. •The Loop: By integrating high-yield banking, peer-to-peer payments, and instant stock trading directly into X, Musk will have direct, frictionless access to hundreds of millions of retail investors. The next time a company like Neuralink or The Boring Company needs capital, his followers will be able to fund it natively in seconds, effectively cutting Wall Street banks completely out of the equation. [1] 🔮 The End Game: Post-Scarcity Economy Musk has openly predicted that by 2036, the combination of autonomous humanoid robots and advanced AI will create an "age of abundance" where goods and services are so cheap that traditional money will become almost meaningless. [1, 2] He isn't managing money to accumulate cash in a bank account. He is spending every dollar he can get his hands on now to control the core infrastructure of the future: the transport (SpaceX), the intelligence (xAI), and the automation (Tesla). [1, 2] If you'd like, we can focus on what is closest on the horizon: •Do you want to see how space-based AI data centers will actually work? •Are you curious about when the Optimus robots are scheduled to take over Tesla's assembly lines? [1, 2]

  PayPal $PYPL is down ~13% premarket after Stripe and Advent reportedly walked away from their $60.50 a share takeover bid. Interesting bit: PYPL had gained nearly 30% after the bid first surfaced. A month of takeover premium, gone in a morning. Good reminder that a rumour can move a stock a long way, but it isn’t a thesis.

  Strip out the deal speculation and PayPal was already down 27% YTD, 45.3% below its 52-week high of $79.50. New CEO Enrique Lores (ex-HP) is mid-restructuring: a planned 20% workforce cut, targeting $1.5B in cost savings over 2-3 years.

  Bitcoin’s payment history is full of moments that look completely unhinged in hindsight. Here are five of the wildest historic examples of it actually being used to buy real things. 1. Two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC (May 22, 2010) 
Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz posted on Bitcointalk offering 10,000 bitcoin for two large pizzas. Jeremy Sturdivant took him up on it, ordered from Papa John’s, and delivered them. At the time the coins were worth roughly $41. That single transaction is widely recognized as the first real-world commercial purchase with Bitcoin. Hanyecz kept the offer open for months and later said he spent tens of thousands more BTC on pizza that year. Those original 10,000 coins are now worth well over a billion dollars. Bitcoin Pizza Day is still celebrated every May 22. 2. Alpaca wool socks for 75 BTC a pair (February 2011) 
A small family farm in Haydenville, Massachusetts—Grass Hill Alpacas—became one of the first merchants to accept Bitcoin after the owner’s son convinced his parents. They charged 75 BTC per pair of socks (Bitcoin was still under a dollar). Orders came in from around the world; even lead developer Gavin Andresen bought some. Within months the price of Bitcoin rose so fast they slashed the sock price to 5 BTC. Those original 75-BTC pairs would later be worth millions. The humble alpaca became an unofficial early Bitcoin mascot. 3. Crossing the United States living only on Bitcoin (April–June 2011) 
A Bitcoiner known as Plato (TheRealPlato) drove from Connecticut to California without spending a single U.S. dollar. Bitcoin was around $1–$2 and almost no businesses accepted it. He relied on forum members, in-person trades, and people willing to buy him gas or food and accept BTC in return. He documented the trip on a blog and Twitter using the hashtag #BitcoinRoadTrip. It was one of the earliest real-world tests of whether Bitcoin could function as actual money when almost nobody treated it that way. 4. WikiLeaks surviving a financial blockade with Bitcoin donations (June 2011) 
After WikiLeaks published classified U.S. diplomatic cables, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and others cut off donations, wiping out an estimated 95% of its revenue. The organization started accepting Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto publicly warned that the attention could be dangerous for the still-tiny network (“WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest”). Donations still flowed—more than 4,000 BTC over the following years. It became one of the first high-profile demonstrations that Bitcoin could work as censorship-resistant money when traditional payment rails were shut down. 5. A Hawaiian flight attendant buys a ticket to space with 350 BTC (November 2013) 
Richard Branson announced that Virgin Galactic would accept Bitcoin for its $250,000 suborbital flights. The first customer was a flight attendant from Hawaii who paid the full fare in bitcoin—about 350 BTC at the time. Branson converted the coins to dollars immediately to lock in the price. It was the first known purchase of a spaceflight ticket with cryptocurrency and a surreal snapshot of how quickly some early holders were willing to spend their coins on once-in-a-lifetime experiences. These were creative, small-scale, often improvised payments that happened when Bitcoin was still a curiosity. But the important thing is this: the payments settled on an immutable ledger that’s verified by the public and no intermediary was required.
