  $PYPL has broken my red Zone which means that the bottom is in and we see the next Impulse. Are you invested in PayPal?

  @pchopra28 I think that is a fairly consensus take tbh the classic trope is that mafias get formed from companies with some success but not too much and some catalyzing event to churn people out, and people classically cite Paypal as having these conditions I wouldn’t call Stripe a slow burn. going from zero to $200B valuation in 17 years is insane RE your google/fb examples: the reason people haven’t held “ex-google” in high regard since the early 2010s is not because all the great people stayed (plenty of them left), it’s because the hiring bar decayed and the culture itself at google became soft and no longer deeply shaped people

  yo so PayPal is really doubling down on stablecoins and it's showing up in their Q2 numbers 👀 wild to think a fintech giant is basically becoming a crypto player at this point. are we sleeping on PYUSD? #stablecoins

  @CoinMarketCap Real substance here - $8.68B revenue beat, raised FY guidance, PYUSD now in 70 markets. The $81M crypto adjustment is a rounding error next to that; the actual story is PayPal building real infrastructure across stablecoins, agentic payments (via AP2/ACP), and identity. This is a fintech incumbent taking crypto rails seriously

  @pnkplasticfangs The "license" argument is a smokescreen. It distracts from the real issue: PayPal demands we act like legitimate businesses to charge us fees and withhold taxes, while denying us transparency and fair process. 🧵👇

  @VirgilCalhounn @Bumblingaway If you are paying for something, then the platform the seller uses is of no relevance Avoiding paypal is mostly on the seller side since they love stealing your money, but as a client.. its not your problem

  ✦ PayPal enhances its focus on stablecoins while reporting Q2 results: In its second-quarter report, PayPal showcased the rising significance of stablecoins and AI-powered payment solutions, revealing a revenue of $8.68 billion and an $81 million adjustment linked to crypto assets. The company posted earnings of $1.26 per share, slightly down from $1.30 year-over-year, and below the $1.28 expected by analysts. Revenue increased from $8.29 billion last year, surpassing the $8.47 billion consensus. PayPal's $81 million adjustment excluded from non-GAAP results reflects its strategy regarding crypto and investments.

  Every founder and freelancer I work with eventually asks a version of the same question: their first US client is ready to pay, and they have no idea which route gets them the most money. Most default to PayPal because it's the only name they recognize. I used to as well, until I sat down and mapped every way money can move from a foreign client's account to mine. The gap between the worst option and the best one is not small. It's the difference between losing $350 and losing $29 on the same $5,000 invoice. Here's the full map THE RBI-LICENSED PLATFORMS: Skydo, Xflow, Razorpay, Infinity, BriskPe. These hold the RBI's PA-CB license and give you virtual US/UK/EU account details, so your client just sees a normal local transfer on their end. You receive INR at the real mid-market rate. Skydo: $19 flat under $2K, $29 up to $10K, 0.3% above that, plus GST Infinity: 0.5% all-inclusive Razorpay: 1% flat Zero FX markup on all of them, free automatic FIRA The part nobody mentions: these platforms KYC you before you ever receive money. That means the nightmare scenario, funds landing and then getting frozen for months, structurally can't happen. Money sits in RBI-mandated escrow, and if something does go wrong, you have the RBI Ombudsman in your own timezone. WISE AND PAYONEER Wise converts at true mid-market rate for about 1.6-1.8%, and picked up in-principle PA-CB approval in 2025 (limit now ₹25 lakh per invoice). Good if you want multi-currency balances. Payoneer only earns its place through marketplace integrations, Upwork, Fiverr, Amazon. The moment you withdraw to INR you eat a ~2% markup plus a $4 fee under $400. Both can freeze flagged accounts for up to 180 days, and since they're foreign-regulated, the RBI Ombudsman can't help you there. But Payoneer has the option to withdraw your money to the source account if the transaction doesn't go through for any reason. PAYPAL 4.4% + $0.30 transaction fee, 3-4% FX markup on top, 5-8% effective cost. Worst pricing here and the worst freeze record in the industry, with holds reported past seven months and active class-action suits about it. Only use it if the alternative is not getting paid, and withdraw the second it lands. DIRECT SWIFT WIRE Intermediary banks skim $15-30 before it even reaches India. Your bank adds a receiving fee (HDFC ₹200-750, SBI 0.125%). Then a hidden 2-4% FX markup gets baked into the rate. Then 18% GST on the fees. You'll lose ₹1,500-2,500 on a typical transfer and chase the branch for your FIRC yourself. Makes sense for large negotiated volumes, ideally with an EEFC account so you can convert when the rate favors you. STRIPE AND DODO PAYMENTS @stripe India is invite-only and lands at 6%+ once you add conversion and GST, and needs a registered Indian entity. Skip it unless you're a card-led SaaS business. Dodo Payments is a Merchant of Record, like Paddle or Lemon Squeezy, it becomes the legal seller and handles global VAT for you. ~5.5-6%+ effective cost, but that's the price for not filing VAT in 220 countries yourself. Use it for product checkout, never for B2B invoicing. THE US LLC ROUTE (Mercury, Relay, Meow) This is a US-presence play, not a payment rail. All three need a US LLC and EIN first. Free banking, but the money still has to come home, so you'll pay Wise/Skydo/SWIFT fees on top to repatriate. Never actually cheaper. The compliance stack is real too: IRS Form 5472 (miss it, $25,000 penalty), plus Indian FEMA/ODI rules on owning a foreign entity. Worth it only if a US client will exclusively pay by ACH, you need full Stripe access, or you're holding working USD (Meow's ~5% APY makes it the pick there). Most people who go this route could've used Razorpay, Skydo, or Winvesta's virtual US account details instead, without touching an LLC at all. THE THREE THINGS THAT KEEP YOU SAFE, WHATEVER YOU PICK > Get your FIRA every time, it's your proof of export income and keeps GST zero-rated > Register for GST past ₹20 lakh turnover and file a LUT > Use the right purpose code (P0802/P0805 for software and business services), the most common reason payments get flagged is the wrong code None of this needs a registered company except Stripe and the US LLC route. PAN and a savings account get you started everywhere else. Please note: The rates can change day to day across different platforms, check the official website for live rates.

  Just a heads up, had a few messages off of people. Looks like that Matt Forth may be at it. Asking to get bets on and or PayPal loans whilst awaiting compensation. Avoid like the plague. Thought he was a sound lad who had his issues but no excuses.

  $PYPL Conference Call Wrapup: PayPal beat and raised the full year, and the story still has a problem: EPS still fell 1% to $1.38, and next quarter they guide it DOWN double digits. Revenue +5%, but the earnings line is going backward while the guide goes up. Read past the raise.

  I am tired of modern life for another reason. Every product needs a PhD just to be able to use it. It is impossible to turn on the TV at a friend's place. On a Tesla, you don't know how to open the glove compartment or turn on the wipers, or blow the air in your face. Netflix keeps telling me that this device - my TV- is not authorized. I have to go through hoops to get it reinstalled. One time I had to call customer support. Fortunately Netflix still has real human beings who are helpful. There is no way to reach a real person on X. I have wasted several thousand dollars to boost my posts but it just ate my money. The XAI that monitors my posts found something wrong with my post, I don't know what. When I sent a DM to Ad services, it never responds. I have sent the complain a dozen times. The XAI reads not only the posts but also the DMs. When XAI doesn't understand a post, it simply ignores it. There is no way on X to reach a real human being. If XAI is cheating me, it is the cost of living with modern AI technology. The ring in my wife's phone becomes almost inaudible. She sets it up to full volume but it keeps coming back to lowest volume. So, she asked me to find out the problem. I haven't been able to solve the problem. I tried to de-install an App, and it would keep on reinstalling it. On PayPal, I cannot turn off notifications of parcels from USPS. In an Airbnb I could not turn on the A/C. It had so many things in the menu. It would keep going back and forth in the menu but not show me the temperature controls. Even powering on and off did not work. In another Airbnb in New Zealand, I could not use the oven because I could not set the temperature. It kept turning off. In a hotel I could not set the time on the alarm clock. The list is limitless. And I am not a computer illeraterate person. You might think I am a dumb person. I am the inventor of Ethernet switch which is widely used in AI data centers, My company I founded turned an investment of $25 million into $10 billion. I have a dozen patents. If I am having so much problem with modern technology, I can imagine how much problem others might be facing.

  📄 $PYPL · EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS - PayPal Holdings, Inc. PayPal raised FY2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to ~$5.38 from "low-single digit decline to slightly positive" while Q2 non-GAAP EPS fell 1% YoY to $1.38. 📊 Rev $8.7B (+5%) · Adj. EPS $1.38 (-1% (non-GAAP)) · NI $1.1B · Op margin 16.4% (GAAP) 🟢 Beat Estimates · EPS $1.38 vs $1.28 est 🔷 Revenue $8.7B (+5% YoY), TPV $486.4B (+10% YoY) 🔷 Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 248 bps to 17.4% 🔷 GAAP operating income fell 5% to $1.4B; non-GAAP operating income fell 8% 🔷 FY2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance raised to ~$5.38 from prior low-single digit decline to slightly positive 🟡 Market reaction: Extended-hours trading shows PYPL at $55.30, down 1.37% vs the regular close of $56.07. The guidance raise is being overshadowed by margin compression, non-GAAP operating margin fell 248 bps, and the Q3 outlook for low-single digit EPS declines. 👀 Watch: Q3 2026 guidance calls for low-single digit decline in both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS, watch whether transformation costs compress margins further.
