  Is AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

  PayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments

  A year ago basically two companies issued stablecoins. Circle and Tether. That was the market. Today 20 banks and tech giants are in line to issue their own through Anchorage. Western Union. PayPal. Fiserv. List goes on. The GENIUS Act passed and the floodgates opened. Every major financial institution now wants its own dollar onchain.

  @wsavas @OGDfarmer @refikanadol While I do agree completely and shocked that he still did not get a reply, DFarmer is raising an issue now that no one had a problem with for the past 6 years, and it’s coming up just 2 weeks before the claim. If someone lives in a country that doesn’t support PayPal, they can always ask a friend to send the $50. The large amount shown on Shopify doesn’t appear on the invoice. As far as I’m aware, there hasn’t been any trouble with RAS before.

  If an artist begins to raise red flags by ghosting you, issue a chargeback. It’s always remarkable how fast people reply when you do so!! Please don’t give people blind trust and wait several months for the PayPal time limit to run out!! 🫠 and then you’ll be left on the hook

  @capreedmi @InTheAssembly Here's Burry's Q1 2026 Substack disclosure breakdown on the 7 software/payments names (thematic portfolio): - **PYPL (PayPal)**: New position opened at $49.38 (~3.5% stake). Core payments play. - **FISV (Fiserv)**: Holding. High-quality payments infrastructure with stable cash flows. - **ADBE (Adobe)**: Holding. AI disruption narrative overblown; creative tools moat intact. - **ADSK (Autodesk)**: Holding. Design software leader with strong competitive moat. - **VEEV (Veeva)**: Holding. Healthcare SaaS focused on life sciences compliance. - **CRM (Salesforce)**: Adding. Down ~30% YTD; undervalued enterprise cloud leader. - **MSCI**: Adding. Financial data/infrastructure with recurring revenue resilience. Thesis: Selloff was technical (private credit pressure), not AI killing these businesses. None rely on private credit. Contrarian vs. Mag7 hype.

  This drama led to the Inkystara PayPal refund issue. I was a client, and the artist took the comm despite how they viewed me. After sending the work on Twitter I was blocked on multiple social. If they felt that way they should've declined the comm upfront and left it at that

  @SamAdolphsen @SecRollins @POTUS If you get food stamps, your meager finances get pored over every six months. You're forced to document everything down to your PayPal account. Your bank statements, paystubs and cash on hand are scrutinized. You're not given a penny more in SNAP than allowed.

  The problem is that it’s a coordinated disinformation campaign against Nick by people like Bronze Age Pervert and other influencers who are in the pocket of the administration, PayPal mafia, Israel, etc. Ever notice how they all post at the same time? They do it so they can create a narrative about Nick which obfuscates the truth. They’re not misunderstanding him, they’re lying. They’re fine lying to themselves, to their audience, and to God.

  @BunBoy_Tsu Did this person really buy the account? Like, is there actual proof of it? When going down a rabbit hole with their socials, they still link to fashionista-adjacent links. Even their paypal which they heavily promote, is tied to fashionista.

  ENS DAO / ENS Labs should be doing everything possible to get exchanges, PayPal, neobanks, and fintech apps deeply integrated into the ENS ecosystem — even if it means offering extremely attractive partnership deals. Because the real problem is not naming. It’s trust, onboarding, privacy, and distribution. Creating ENS subnames is a great idea in theory. But let’s be honest for a second: most normal people are not crypto natives. Many of us who have been in crypto for years have seen: phishing attacks malicious smart contracts fake websites wallet drainers fake approvals browser exploits millions lost in seconds Even experienced users still get caught. So imagine the average PayPal or banking user. Why would they trust random independent websites asking them to connect wallets and sign smart contracts just to register a subname? I’m fully pro open ecosystem and small independent builders. But mainstream adoption does not happen through fear and confusion. It happens through trusted interfaces people already use daily. That’s why ENS should aggressively push partnerships where: PayPal Coinbase Binance Revolut Wise Robinhood banks neobanks can directly: register ENS names issue subnames manage renewals handle recovery abstract wallets simplify onboarding Now imagine the next layer: A user binds their ENS name or subname directly to their exchange or PayPal account. On the backend: the platform handles wallet infrastructure privacy becomes far better protected users avoid exposing public wallet activity directly recovery becomes easier compliance becomes easier onboarding becomes massively simpler Most people do NOT want to become crypto security experts. They just want: simple usernames easy payments trusted recovery privacy low friction ENS should stop thinking only like a protocol and start thinking like internet infrastructure. The winner is not the most decentralized product. The winner is the one that removes the most friction while keeping enough decentralization underneath. If ENS really wants .eth adoption at scale, the goal should be: “People use ENS without even realizing they are using blockchain.” That only happens through distribution partnerships.

  @BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.

  $COIN just cut 700 employees. 14% of the company. Gone. The CEO says AI layoffs are coming to "every company." Not someday. Now. Coinbase is replacing managers with "player-coaches" and building one-person AI teams that do the work of entire departments. They're calling them "AI-native pods." One person directing AI agents that handle engineering, design, and product management. Entire teams replaced by one person and a prompt. $50-60 million in severance charges hitting Q2. Stock went up on the news. Revenue is fine. They just don't need the people anymore. This isn't a Coinbase problem. Cloudflare cut 1,100 the same week. PayPal cut 4,500. All citing AI. All posting record revenue. The pattern is getting loud. 👀

  @AskPayPal When I originally created the account, there was a typographical error in my name. However, I already submitted a legal name correction request through PayPal, and the correction to my proper legal name was approved.
