  @cryptoID_info @AmandoBoncales Hello, I need to renew our blockchain explorer, but I’m having trouble with the payment. Neither credit card nor PayPal is going through successfully. I’d like to ask whether this might be an issue with your website’s payment system.

  @Badie912 @fundstrat @BitMNR Paypal is a great business too but it doesn’t matter when nobody believes in it. For now, it only depends on the $ETH price. That’s the problem with $BMNR

  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.

  PayPal beat Q1 earnings ($8.4B revenue, up 7% YoY) but tanked stock with weak Q2 guidance. The company's down over 80% from its 2021 peak. AI cost-cutting isn't just strategy—it's desperation.

  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.

  @SsSw33tt :c I’m sorry to hear that. maybe it would be best to reach out to glitch to see how it looks on their end. if things stay finicky with your bank, maybe it’s also worth trying contacting PayPal as well. i wouldnt be surprised if PayPal is at fault here

  Cards that usually work best: • Grey .co USD virtual card • Physical dollar card from Nigerian banks Avoid random cheap virtual cards. That’s where many people run into PayPal issues.

  @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.

  @WillBiddy_ @visheshbajpai13 You got some diamond hands hold for holding $PYPL, even their last report was rough IMO I didn't look much into, but expenses growing more than revenue is terrible ( especially for a company like PayPal)

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 — beat on revenue and EPS but the guide is the problem. Revenue $8.4B, beat $8.05B estimate, up 7% year over year EPS $1.34, beat $1.27 estimate Total payment volume $464B, up 11% year over year Active accounts 439M, up 1% year over year $1.5B cost savings plan over 2 to 3 years via AI efficiency and job cuts Q2 guide is the red flag — EPS expected to decline approximately 9%. That is a hard miss on expectations. FY guide also shows low single digit EPS decline. A company beating Q1 but guiding earnings lower for the full year is going to get sold. Revenue growth is real. The earnings trajectory is going the wrong way. Not financial advice.

  Sunrise Capital (@Sunrisecap168) reported 33 minutes ago

  $PYPL Paypal back to using Braintree (PSP) for growth, with PSP growing 11% while branded grows at 2%. take-rate starts to fall, operating margins fall. Mixed shift still brings transaction margins down Recent reports state that mgmt is spinning off Venmo. I believe this is the right move. Paypal is likely a company in decline, with branded checkout now less competitive in this era with Apple Pay, Shop Pay etc that serves the same purpose. Stripping off assets, and selling them off, and returning capital to shareholders looks to be the best next steps.

  @AskPayPal Why are there so many problems trying to access my PayPal cash back Mastercard? I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a representative filing a dispute today and yet I haven't received an email about it and can't find any information documenting that I filed this dispute! This has become a horrible, horrible experience!

  $FINX looks like a contrarian fintech play. It is down ~8%, while valuation has compressed to ~22x P/E — near the low end of its 10Y range and well below the fintech category median. Top holdings like PayPal, Block, Coinbase, Robinhood and SoFi still have upside if sentiment stabilizes. Messy basket, but the setup looks more reasonable now.

  NEW TRADE ALERT: Michael Burry opened a full position in MercadoLibre at $1634. MELI is the Amazon and the PayPal of Latin America combined. 49% revenue growth last quarter. 28 consecutive quarters of 30%+ growth, a record unmatched by any public company in history. Yet the stock is down 36% from its June 2025 high because of short-term margin pressure and competition from Shopee. Translation: the market is punishing MELI for spending aggressively to dominate a 650 million person market. Burry doesn't chase momentum. He buys companies the market has temporarily mispriced. That is exactly what MELI looks like at $1,631. Median analyst price target is $2,500, implying over 50% upside. This is not a quick trade though, it’s a 3 to 5 year compounder. Every time he makes a move, we will break it down here. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the alert, this is VERY important. If you don’t follow us, you might regret it.

  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.
