  Well, that was certainly a week for DSP. It's like a bad film getting an extend cut yet it makes the film even worse as opposed to better like Terminator 2. Being a nine day stream week, we were treated with all sorts of bizarre cope and crash outs along with some good Rage and Wage Quits. Of course, front and center, it's all about the cards baby -- the only thing that matters on DSP [Space] Gaming! Being an extended stream week, DSP was bound to have a week where the weekly numbers would be skewed higher. However, to use a DSP line of "anyone with a functional brain" could see the Whale activity was through the roof at random streams over the nine day run of streams. When you look at the activity, these accounts just randomly dropped a significant amount of money through the Youtube platform in Memberships and Super Chats. Whether they were actually the same person or actually three different people is up in the air. During the Chat Freeze Mini Arc, DSP did admit to knowing the Whales do in fact use Sock accounts, something that was denied long ago. When you factor in how much money was dumped through Youtube over this stream week, it meant a large chunk of that raw cash was incinerated in fees -- especially with a lot being Mobile based. Further, it isn't accessible until August as well. However, it shows how DSP is just being trained like a dog by these few individuals despite trying to act like he runs the show. These individuals use money as the treats to force him to push cards and play certain games which is amusing when it is so blatant. Pretty pathetic for DSP to be just a dog in this transactional exchange and seemingly pushed towards an addiction with cards that will probably lead to a financial crunch and another bankruptcy. It makes me wonder if that's the end goal of these individuals. There was also a rando that appeared over the week that did a bizarre dump of money on Kick in the form of Kicks and Subs. I'm going to assume they were a tourist that decided to just appear and seemed to leave. I guess wasting all that money on DSP got boring -- not sure how giving him money could be "fun" or an "own" on trolls when you're the one out of your money that could be spent on something far more interesting. They also took the time to dump a massive amount of subs between streams last Friday which was not counted by DSP. This also shows how DSP is such an *** for refusing to count the money. It makes you wonder how much money goes unseen while on stream DSP is shaking his can and begging people for that $150+. I honestly don't think it's a frequent occurrence but it obviously happens from time to time and is missed at times. It's also interesting how DSP is dumping more and more money into various cards. As DSP closes in to $5,000 worth of card related purchases - cards, binders, special cases, etc - one has to wonder what is happening with his money and how he is somehow funding this endeavor? DSP can take in a lot of money but much of it isn't accessible. When DSP receives Tips, that's instant through PayPal. When it comes in through Kick, it's somewhat accessible because it is paid weekly on Thursdays. When it is Youtube, it's paid on or around the 21st of the month. Depending on when the Youtube money is donated, it could take weeks to get it and of course it is hit with the most fees possible, especially the massive 51% for mobile donations eating up quite a bit of it. So he's burning a lot of money on a gimmick that is really eating away at what he has accessible and hopes to get in the future. In the past, hats and vests were one time investments. Once purchased, it's over and done with and he could dangle them to the dents. With needing a constant flow of cards at scalper rates, it's an endless investment that feels like appeasement for an addiction like with pulls in WWE Champions than a "cool, chill" aspect of his streams. So any increase of revenue is lost because of the higher fees since the majority of the money is coming in Youtube and access is delayed while needing to constantly pay for cards -- and this is just for cards we've seen on stream and know there is off stream unpackings. I believe someone noted that spoons0 suggested the cards gimmick. While I suspect this person didn't have the intent to give DSP a crippling addiction to unpacking cards, that is what appeared to happen. So even when he hits the goal - and especially when he doesn't - he is pushing card openings and rattling that cup likely because he needs money badly but also to appease that internal addiction to get a hit of dopamine. At the same time, one has to wonder if he is starting to run into financial issues with legitimate bills to keep him in WAHKhando? I speculated that he could be stacking payment plans which is just another form of backdoor credit card debt and the TCG Card Shop offers PayPal Credit plan options with monthly payment plans. Could he be spending outright on some cards while dumping many on payment plans? What about his other spending, possibly with Affirm and Amazon Store payment plans? If he's stacking up payment plans galore, eventually they will come due and then that money has to come from somewhere and could hit at the worst possible time. Further, when you think about his living situation, I believe a fair estimate is that it will cost him ~$40,000 in 2026 to live in a middle unit condo - that's the Property Taxes, HOA, Mortgage, Utilities, and Pet Related Stuff. We obviously can't forget his taxes that come out after the fees for his money, so he's not living his best life when you consider how much is wasted on cards as an ongoing expense. I also highly doubt there is any serious retirement planning happening either. Heck, we don't even know if he is still dealing with back taxes anymore or not. There are other expenses as well to consider - especially with Kat - so adding an addiction to a mesh of expenses and other spending issues is not going to help him. I'm in the camp that whatever money he might have had at the start of this card craze has been eaten up and we will really see begging ramp up between Youtube payments in the future. It makes me wonder about possibly seeing the merged goal unraveled in some form to push more for Kick and Tip side support if things really get screwy for his finances. I also thought it would be interesting to look at the month of July so far and look back a year. Some might say "my goodness, look at the difference" but there is an issue with that. In July 2025, he vanished for a little over a week which created a massive hole in his finances. Despite that, we can still take away the fact that the majority of the money really did shift to Youtube side support. So while there is a massive amount increased based on the raw total - and keeping in mind a missed week of streams - the increase was marginal when factoring all the money wasted on cards and more money lost due to platform fees. In other words, I would say he was doing better last year when you consider less money came in through Youtube and his expenses on gimmicks were lower. I guess we'll see if the trend continues into August or not. tl;dr - I don't believe things are going good for DSP and I think there is enough evidence to suggest this with his spending and what we can see coming into the coffers. We'll see how things progress over the coming months but I don't cards will ultimately save the business.

  The easiest and most valuable open source contribution nobody talks isn't the biggest feature! Most people think contributing means fixing a hard bug or shipping a fancy new feature. It doesn't have to be. Try this on any repo: 1. Click Insights 2. Click Community Standards 3. GitHub gives you a checklist of what a healthy project is still missing. Every unchecked box is a contribution the maintainers already want. paypal/AI-Toolkit, a new Claude Code plugin for PayPal's APIs, has 4 open right now. 1. Pick one 2. Check for existing Issue, if not create one 3. Ask for it to be assigned to you 4. Open a PR Now you're a contributor to a PayPal repo today!

  @seefromthesky Isnt this showing that the problem is with small payments rather than paypal as a whole? For larger transactions, the effective fee is close to what many international processors charge.

  Now this makes a lot more sense. A few days ago we found a group of fiat tokens quietly sitting on Keeta mainnet. At the time they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Today they do. Keeta just announced its partnership with LayerZero to bring tokenized commercial bank money to major blockchains. So what does that actually mean? Think of Keeta as the place where regulated bank deposits become tokenized digital dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc. Those are the fiat tokens we found on-chain. They’re backed 1:1 by commercial bank deposits through Bivo and are built for institutions, not retail. LayerZero is the interoperability protocol that connects many of the largest blockchains together. It’s already used by companies and protocols like PayPal and Ondo. Instead of Keeta building connections to every blockchain individually, LayerZero lets those regulated assets move across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and many other chains through a single interoperability layer. Here’s an example. Imagine a business deposits $10 million with a participating bank. Keeta tokenizes that deposit into regulated digital dollars. Using LayerZero, those dollars can move to Ethereum for settlement, Solana for payments, Base for another application, and then be redeemed back into bank deposits when needed. The institution doesn’t have to care which blockchain the other side is using. That’s why this announcement is a big deal. The fiat assets we found on-chain now have a clear purpose. The GitHub updates we’ve been seeing suddenly make a lot more sense. And if institutions choose Keeta to issue and settle tokenized commercial bank money, LayerZero gives those assets access to one of the largest cross-chain ecosystems in crypto. That has the potential to bring significantly more institutional activity and value onto the Keeta network than if it operated in isolation. This is exactly why I spend so much time watching GitHub and on-chain activity. Sometimes the blockchain tells the story before the press release does. @KeetaNetwork $KTA @LayerZero_Core

  PayPal tried to buy Stripe in 2013. Stripe said NO. 13 years later: Stripe is offering $53 billion for PayPal. Here’s the timeline that still feels unreal: 2013: Stripe is 3 years old. Raised $40M. PayPal (still owned by eBay) makes a bid. John Collison’s pitch to the PayPal founders: “Payments on the internet are totally broken.” They get it. The company doesn’t. Deal dies. 2014: PayPal buys Braintree for $800M instead (and gets Venmo as a freebie). Stripe does $7B in volume and hits a $1.75B valuation. Next decade Stripe volume compounds at 70% a year. Braintree at 43%. Last year alone: Stripe → $1.9 trillion Braintree → $600 billion 2026: Stripe hits a $159B secondary valuation. Then teams up with Advent and drops a $53B offer for PayPal. 50/50 ownership. $50B in bank financing already committed. The company that once looked too small is now trying to buy the one that was too big to fail. Internet moves fast. Pride moves slower.

  I've used Airbnb for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Facebook for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Alibaba for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Nike for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used PayPal for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Netflix for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal...same thing. Products i use/d. Services i understand, brands i saw operating in real life before ever looking at a chart. The funny part is that many people reading this have also used these products for years. They booked the stays, wore the shoes, watched the shows, bought the iPhones, paid through the apps, ordered from the platforms, lived inside the ecosystem. But when it came to investing, they ignored what was right in front of them and let bad actors with cartoon profile pictures teach them money management. They bought micro cap coins they never used. Projects they never understood. Narratives they never verified. Promises from people with no real track record. Years ago, someone very successful in investing gave me a simple piece of advice: "If you use it, understand it, and it is listed on the stock market, study how whales move in the markets and find the best levels to buy and sell" That advice changed how i looked at markets. The gullible mind keeps chasing mystery while ignoring familiarity. They will put money into something they have never touched, never tested, never needed, and never understood, while refusing to even consider the globally established businesses they use every week. Familiar feels obvious, and obvious feels too late. That is how retail gets trapped. They ignore the companies solving real problems in their own lives, then gamble on stories designed to solve nothing except the seller's exit liquidity problem. Sometimes the best investment research does not start in a Telegram group. It starts by looking at your own life and asking: "What do i keep using, and who owns it?" Find the answers, alongside understanding when whales buy and sell. As time goes on, you'll be winning.

  1.⁠ ⁠Should Chinese open models be banned? 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Will Anthropic and OpenAI hit their targets in 2027? These are honestly the two biggest questions right now that we discuss in the only show you need to listen to every week with @jasonlk and @rodriscoll My notes below: 1. Why the 10x Price Cut of Chinese Open Models Is an Enterprise Security Trap Chinese open models like Kimi and Qwen are driving the search for cheaper intelligence. A 10x cost cut has pushed regulated enterprises to run more error-catching supervisor models, increasing token usage by 2.5x. But it also creates unprovable data export and leakage risks, leaving CIOs with a painful tradeoff between cost and security. 2. Why the Low-Cost, Open-Weight LLM Layer Is a Brutal Margin Trap for US Startups Massive valuations for Chinese open-weight models raise a hard question: is low-cost AI a good standalone business? US giants have left a vacuum for much cheaper intelligence, but much of the advantage comes from distillation, which faces legal hurdles in the US. That leaves providers exposed to brutal margin compression. 3. Why Turning Down a $6BN Acquisition Offer Is a Sucker Bet for Most Founders OpenRouter leaking sale talks at a $5 billion to $6 billion valuation is savvy as Ramp, Databricks, and others launch competing routing features. Private liquidity windows are rare, and exiting before a feature becomes commoditized is often optimal. Turning down life-changing cash only makes sense if a founder is certain they can build a 10x larger company. 4. Why Hypergrowth Inference Providers Must Vertically Integrate to Survive the CapEx Wars Fireworks hitting a $17.5 billion valuation shows the best AI investments are still in infrastructure. Massive developer demand has turned low-margin compute brokering into a strong business with mid-30s gross margins. To avoid commodification, hypergrowth inference providers must vertically integrate into their own data centers. 5. Why the Entire US Stock Market Is Held Hostage by the 2026 AI Growth Rate The tech ecosystem and hyperscaler CapEx trajectory depend on OpenAI and Anthropic’s growth rates into 2026. Frontier models face pricing pressure from cheap open-weight alternatives but remain trapped by real inference costs and massive training investments. If growth slows or forced price cuts erode margins, the market dislocation could be severe. 6. Why Stripe Swallowing PayPal Is a High-Stakes Bet on Legacy Tech Rationalization Stripe partnering with Advent to take PayPal private would show how attractive late-stage scale has become for capital deployment. While absorbing a legacy giant growing at 7% could slow Stripe’s standalone growth, it would instantly expand its processing footprint. The deal would mark a historic passing of the torch from legacy payments to the modern upstart.
