  You can seize gold. You can freeze bank accounts. You can shut down PayPal. You cannot confiscate 12 words stored inside someone's head. Bitcoin is the first monetary property in human history that lives in your mind.

  BREAKING: PayPal shares jump 17% following reports that Stripe and Advent International are preparing a $53B takeover offer. $PYPL This proposed $60.50 per share cash offer represents a 28% premium over where the stock was trading just before the news broke. The deal is backed by $50 billion in committed bank financing, with Stripe and private equity firm Advent aiming to split ownership of the payment giant 50/50 rather than breaking it up. Combining Stripe’s $1.9 trillion in annual payment volume with PayPal's $1.8 trillion would create an absolute behemoth, controlling roughly 3% of global GDP. For PayPal, this offer highlights a massive fall from grace since its pandemic-era peak in 2021, when its market value soared to $360 billion. Since then, intense competition from the likes of Apple Pay and Google Pay has squeezed PayPal's market cap down to a low of $36 billion. While PayPal’s new CEO Enrique Lores has been pushing internal restructuring and cost-cutting to spark a turnaround, analysts believe the board might hold out for a higher price—potentially up to $70 a share—before agreeing to a buyout.

  @Dr_Crossroads This price action is actually quite normal. The vast majority of tech IPOs experience a "broken IPO" at some point during their first 36 months in the public markets. (One notable exemption: ARM Holdings...) Will $CRWV reach your 2029 targets? Perhaps. But it is quite likely that it is going below $40 first. Even your beloved Palantir: - It closed the first day of trading at $9.50 on September 30, 2020; it dropped to $5.92 in December 2022. One thing I would caution you about is that those $120 Dec 2028 LEAPs you mentioned... they can easily expire worthless if $CRWV is to be acquired at some point over next two years. I have a similar situation today with PayPal: the stock is up big (which is nice), but my $50 Dec 2028 LEAPs are actually down. Still in green, but they were supposed to be multi baggers to offset my $PYPL tax harvest losses from last year. Now their value is capped at $10.50 (or so), until the offer is raised - or removed.

  PayPal ($PYPL), despite Stripe’s reported bid at a 28% premium, is still down 4.5% YTD. Even more striking: the stock remains down over 80% in 5 years. Sometimes the best decision is accepting someone else can do better.

  Anyone else think @Ticketek_AU site is a joke? 6min countdown timers… first world problems, but had awesome tickets to Bryan Adam’s, went through PayPal for payment, by the time it finalised timer was over so didn’t register. Took my money, no tickets. Money was refunded about 20min later - got tickets, same price, nowhere near as good seats. Whichever bright spark put a 6min timer should be fired.

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  Stripe and Advent International offered USD 53 billion for PayPal. USD 60.50 per share. 28% premium. USD 50 billion in committed bank financing. PayPal has not responded. To understand why this matters you need to understand PayPal's problem. 👇 At its peak it was worth USD 340 billion. Today it is worth USD 53 billion. It pioneered digital payments and ended up surrounded by Stripe on the enterprise side, Apple Pay and Google Pay on the consumer side and traditional banks that adopted instant transfers. Stripe does not need PayPal's consumer wallet. It needs the transaction volume, the merchant network, the payment behavior data of hundreds of millions of users and the e-money license across dozens of jurisdictions. That is not buying a product. It is buying distribution infrastructure that took twenty years to build. PayPal has not responded. It may demand a higher price. The deal may not close. But the direction it points to is clear: consolidation in digital payments is accelerating and those left behind are the first targets. Does Stripe with PayPal change the payments market structure or is this an offer that dies in negotiations? #Stripe #PayPal #Payments

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk, built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  One of the biggest reversals in tech: PayPal was valued at around $350 billion at its 2021 peak. Now Stripe and private-equity firm Advent have reportedly offered just over $53 billion to buy it. The logic is easy to see. Stripe is deeply embedded behind online businesses, while PayPal brings Venmo, its familiar checkout button and 439 million active accounts. Together, they would process roughly $3.7 trillion in payments each year. The reported offer is $60.50 per share, around 28% above PayPal’s previous closing price. But this is not a completed deal, and PayPal has not accepted it. From here, $PYPL is partly a takeover trade: a higher bid would bring more upside, while failed talks could send the shares back down quickly. Interesting thing is that PayPal is sitting at roughly 10% below offer price, meaning that investors are pricing in possible rejection of the bid. I wonder how it will go down.

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 58 minutes ago

  $PYPL at $60.50: A 28% Premium Can Still Be a Lowball Stripe and Advent’s reported $53 billion offer looks generous only because PayPal’s starting price is broken. The real question is who gets paid for the turnaround if it works. The wrong anchor PayPal entered the takeover report worth roughly $42 billion after losing more than 40% over the previous year. Its market value exceeded $280 billion in 2021, but that peak is not a serious valuation anchor today. Neither is a historic-low share price produced by slowing branded checkout, execution misses, and collapsing investor confidence. Based on current-year adjusted earnings guidance, $60.50 works out to only about 11–12x earnings. That is not an aggressive control multiple for a platform with 439 million active accounts, $464 billion of quarterly payment volume, $1.7 billion of first-quarter adjusted free cash flow, and more cash and investments than debt. The discount is deserved First-quarter non-GAAP operating margin fell 229 basis points, active accounts were effectively flat sequentially, and adjusted EPS is guided between a low-single-digit decline and roughly flat for 2026. Enrique Lores only took over in March, and he has not proved that splitting PayPal into three businesses will revive checkout growth or repair the technology platform. That execution risk deserves a discount. It does not justify handing the entire recovery option to the buyer. The second-order read Stripe and Advent have reportedly lined up around $50 billion of financing, suggesting this is more than casual price discovery. They are trying to buy PayPal before the cost reset, operating simplification, and reinvestment appear in reported numbers. Lores is targeting at least $1.5 billion of savings over two to three years, with those funds intended to support growth. William Blair’s Andrew Jeffrey said the opening bid could move toward $70, and even that would be only about 13–14x PayPal’s current adjusted earnings range. That is a defensible negotiation level, not a heroic valuation. The board is not choosing between $60.50 and the old $300 share price. It is choosing between certainty now and PayPal’s probability-weighted value after the turnaround has had time to work. Bottom line: $60.50 is a credible opening bid, but unless diligence reveals deeper structural decay, it pays shareholders for recent pain—not fairly for PayPal’s recovery upside.
