  52 followers 7 days ago. 1,100+ today. Wild. Thanks to every single one of you. let me quickly introduce myself: In 2019 I was bored out of my mind at university. Took me about one semester to realize the degree I was working towards would never get me where I actually wanted to be. Then YouTube recommended me a video: "How to make money with dropshipping" Boom. That was the opportunity I was looking for (I thought). So I went all in. Grinding day and night. 30k first month, tripled that the month after. I thought I cracked the code. Until > PayPal cases started rolling in lol. > Refunds left and right. > Problems with the supplier as well. Turns out I sucked at running the store. But heres the thing: While I was bad at every part of that business, there was one part I was actually good at. The ad account. Reading the data and making decisions other people didn't see were an option. So I asked around in my network whether I could run ads for them. Took some time but one guy finally said yes (forever thankful for you if you read this). And guess what: IT WORKED! Certainly not at today's level, but more than enough to establish a profitable marketing channel for him. In fact: He was so happy, he recommended me to another guy and one thing led to another. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY: I run a multi 7-figure full funnel Google Ads agency. We scale brands like Sodastream, Riedel and Music Store, plenty of stores starting from scratch on Google and everything in between. And after a few hundred accounts, the same pattern keeps showing up: ALMOST NOBODY IS LOSING MONEY BC THEIR ADS ARE BAD. But bc they're not doing the basics right at scale. After spending €50mio+ on Google I thought, "why not share all the lessons and insights about how to scale tf out of people's Google Ads." I share every single detail and not gate keep anything. Before, I thought this stuff was way too niche for X. But based on the DMs I've received, apparently not. So welcome on my X account brother. Follow along for more ecom nerd stuff that makes you more money. 🫶🏼

  $PYPL part 2 Business is fine — rev +8%, FCF +179%, 10x earnings, 12% FCF yield. What vanished overnight was the $60.50 buyer. Now the market has to value PayPal on its own: a slow-growth, shrinking-take-rate payments co with a 5-month-old CEO and Apple/Stripe/Visa eating share. Bulls: ~7x FCF for Venmo + PayPal brands is Business is fine — rev +8%, FCF +179%, 10x earnings, 12% FCF yield. What vanished overnight was the $60.50 buyer.

Bulls: ~7x FCF for Venmo + PayPal brands is cheap. Board said no because they think it’s worth more. Bears: 3-month rally was pure deal premium. Pre-bid price was mid-$40s. $47 support, then $38. Translation: no floor from a buyer anymore. The turnaround has to prove it. Not financial advice. . Board said no because they think it’s worth more. Bears: 3-month rally was pure deal premium.

  Michael Burry went public on PayPal 134 days ago. The stock is still +9% from that call. On July 15, $PYPL jumped 17% on buyout rumors. That same day Burry called the offer “simply too low.” Last night, Stripe and Advent International walked away from the takeover. $PYPL is down ~11–12% today — and Burry is still ahead.

  @linuxuser1996 @flexfree27 Why its not the same? Before I deleted my account on this datacollecting App I just used browser without problems. The difference is browser is more private and more anonymity. Paypal is ****, they refused me giving a (full) data copy on DSGVO standards. Everyone should delete

  @Kasablanka16590 @RizoWeb3 Listing of $PI by PayPal will give PI Network facelift in the US and i believe it'll start paying off really soon. Meanwhile, pioneers are really the issue as majority don't hold. I believe that when SMC is live on mainnent & DEX too, the real potential of Pi Network'll be seen

  @GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD

  Just pieced together the $KLAR boardroom saga. It deserves the long read. 2005: three students found Klarna — Siemiatkowski, Jacobsson, Adalberth. Their idea takes one of the last places at a business-plan competition. An angel funds them anyway. 2010: Sequoia invests. Michael Moritz — the man who wrote the firm’s checks into Yahoo, Google and PayPal, later Stripe — takes the board seat himself. 2012: Jacobsson leaves. Company worth roughly $1 BN. As far as I know he never builds anything again. Instead he spends 14 years quietly accumulating Klarna stock, using founder pre-emption rights to buy out other holders — much of it at down-round prices. By the IPO filing he holds 8.8% of the company. More than the CEO’s 7.4%. And he keeps a proxy on the board. 2015: Adalberth leaves too — sells most of his stake, builds a foundation, stays on good terms. That’s what a clean exit looks like. Remember the contrast. Meanwhile Siemiatkowski builds: Germany, the banking license, the US, 26 countries, 120m users. Before the IPO he borrows $112m against his own shares to buy MORE stock. At the $40 IPO he sells zero. July 2023: Moritz retires from Sequoia after 38 years — but keeps the Klarna chairmanship, now as a private individual. January 2024: Sequoia needs a new board rep. Enter Matt Miller, 12 years at the firm. Track record: one win (Confluent), one zero (Graphcore, written off in 2022). (Side note - compare it with what Moritz achieved as an investor) February 2024, six weeks into the seat: Miller files to remove Moritz as chairman — aligned with Jacobsson’s camp. Here’s the part I can’t get over. Miller inherited his firm seat from a man half the industry would work for free just to sit in the room with — and moved against him within six weeks. You can call it governance. The market called it something else… It lasts a week. Siemiatkowski flies to San Francisco. Sequoia withdraws the request and publicly apologizes: we fully support Michael as chairman. Miller is pulled off the board, by December he’s out of Sequoia entirely. Truly deserved. October 2024: the board votes out Jacobsson’s proxy after 8 years. Weeks later, Klarna files for its IPO. Then the epilogue. March 2026, lockup week, the overhang everyone feared: Moritz puts $49.9m of his own money in at an average of $14.37. August 2026, eight days after a guidance cut crushed the stock 23%: Siemiatkowski buys ~$10m at $14.37. Same price, six months apart, from the two people who know this company best. Moritz’s whole career is one repeated bet — back the unconsensus founder. Brin and Page. He says it himself in every interview. At $14 he made that bet again: his own money, against his own former firm’s coup, for the founder he’s watched for 16 years. Two camps fought for this company. One built it. The other accumulated it. The builders won every round — and then bought the dip. I’m long $KLAR. Pick your side.
