  @S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

  @heybeegabrielle That's exactly what happened to me. I think I sent several emails a while ago to the store and also to PayPal, but my bank just refunded me first 😭😭😭 I'm surprised because it's the first time I've had this problem in all these years 💔💔

  @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.

  @nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk

  $PYPL reported Q1 2026 earnings today. The stock dropped ~9%. Here’s why I’m not worried. PayPal reiterated full-year guidance of $6 billion in adjusted free cash flow and $6 billion in share repurchases. They bought back 34 million shares in Q1 alone. Revenue up 7%. Total Payment Volume up 11%. They beat on both revenue and EPS. The stock went down 9%. That tells you everything about where expectations are right now. The $1.5 billion nobody is talking about. New CEO Enrique Lores committed to at least $1.5 billion in gross run-rate savings over the next 2 to 3 years through simplification and AI. That’s $1.5 billion in earnings growth just from getting leaner. Zero new revenue required. And it assumes nothing from ads, Venmo monetization, or expanded credit products. Those are all upside on top of it. Now about those margins. Yes, margins got squeezed. Good. That’s the point. PayPal is competing against Stripe, Apple Pay, and Block. They’re investing to defend a position they nearly lost. Nobody goes to the penalty box for doing everything right. If you’re expecting an A+ report from a company fighting the best fintechs in the world, the stock wouldn’t be down here. The reason it’s here is because the results look like this. That’s not a bug. That’s the setup. The one real concern: active accounts at 439 million, up just 1% year-over-year. A two-sided network that isn’t growing users has a problem. Transactions per active account ex-PSP were up 6%, which helps. But this is the problem Lores inherited and the reason the stock is where it is. I entered PYPL at $40.94. Nothing today changes that thesis. Thesis intact.

  @terriblelovebrd Yeah!! It's always the first thing I fill out when placing my glitch orders I wanted to know if there's a specific email I can use to track my payment/order, because for some reason PayPal didn't register it and that worries me ;;;I've never had problems processing payment..

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

  FindleysFinance (@FindleysFinance) reported 32 minutes ago

  Truthfully, I'm a $PYPL bear. I think this is a business with a declining model and they seem to squeeze every ounce of margin out of their customers, rather than growing their customer base. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't wether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow grower?

  PayPal is probably wondering why people are not using their platform anymore. For me, I shut down my account after they started, to prohibit purchases on legal items I buy. I never any company tell me what I can and can’t buy. Stupid business model.

  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

  Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report... To get his buy/sell verdict and the price levels he's watching, check the link in the first comment.
