Derrick Dao (@derrick_dao) reported@danprimack Two suitors, one exit, -10% in after-hours. PayPal doesn't need a buyer — it needs a business model. That's the harder problem.

Theo Morgan (@curious_theo) reported🚨 A $50B PayPal deal just became a shareholder haircut 🧾 M&A checkpoint: • Proposed takeover value: about $50B • Buyers: Advent and Stripe consortium • Status on Friday, August 28: talks abandoned • $PYPL reaction: down roughly 12% 💰 The market did not price in "maybe." It priced in a payday. When the buyers walked, the premium walked with them. Retail holders do not get a breakup fee. They get the chart. I love how Wall Street calls this "deal uncertainty" after bidding up the rumor like it was guaranteed cash. 📉 Buyout rumor investors: holding the bag 📈 Deal buyers: walking away Ahead of the M&A trap, or already holding the bag?

Alpha🐺 (@Market_Alpha_) reportedPayPal is down about 13% premarket after the Advent/Stripe consortium reportedly walked away. Their rejected bid was $60.50. $PYPL closed yesterday at $61.47 and now trades near $53.39. The part the headline misses: that is still about 13% above the roughly $47.27 price before the bid surfaced in July. Since then PayPal raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 and outlined $400M of savings this year. The deal premium disappeared. The entire rerating did not.

Dee (@diranoteg) reportedPayPal was literally killing small businesses, holding their funds endlessly without any explanation. Now they've become a total failure. Wise @Wise your time is coming. Your company stock has been stagnant for 5 years. Eventually, short sellers will pile up on your garbage stock and push the price down.
-
James Wester (@jameswester) reportedRetweeting a retweet of @regulatorynerd from July re: Stripe/PayPal and pointing to this: "And the fact they need to involve Advent to fund it illustrates why they should have gone public already. A public company could do this without PE." It wasn't just PayPal's issue.

Jag (@JagOBX) reported$PYPL Took a BIG hit PayPal peaked at 360B$. Stripe and Advent just walked away from a $53B PayPal bid. Stock down 12%. Is this the end for PayPal?

Jonas Gruber (@jonasgruber_) reported52 followers 7 days ago. 1,100+ today. Wild. Thanks to every single one of you. let me quickly introduce myself: In 2019 I was bored out of my mind at university. Took me about one semester to realize the degree I was working towards would never get me where I actually wanted to be. Then YouTube recommended me a video: "How to make money with dropshipping" Boom. That was the opportunity I was looking for (I thought). So I went all in. Grinding day and night. 30k first month, tripled that the month after. I thought I cracked the code. Until > PayPal cases started rolling in lol. > Refunds left and right. > Problems with the supplier as well. Turns out I sucked at running the store. But heres the thing: While I was bad at every part of that business, there was one part I was actually good at. The ad account. Reading the data and making decisions other people didn't see were an option. So I asked around in my network whether I could run ads for them. Took some time but one guy finally said yes (forever thankful for you if you read this). And guess what: IT WORKED! Certainly not at today's level, but more than enough to establish a profitable marketing channel for him. In fact: He was so happy, he recommended me to another guy and one thing led to another. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY: I run a multi 7-figure full funnel Google Ads agency. We scale brands like Sodastream, Riedel and Music Store, plenty of stores starting from scratch on Google and everything in between. And after a few hundred accounts, the same pattern keeps showing up: ALMOST NOBODY IS LOSING MONEY BC THEIR ADS ARE BAD. But bc they're not doing the basics right at scale. After spending €50mio+ on Google I thought, "why not share all the lessons and insights about how to scale tf out of people's Google Ads." I share every single detail and not gate keep anything. Before, I thought this stuff was way too niche for X. But based on the DMs I've received, apparently not. So welcome on my X account brother. Follow along for more ecom nerd stuff that makes you more money. 🫶🏼

Blue (@blueshopping24) reported93% of people chasing passive income in 2026 will make less than $200 total. Not because the opportunities don't exist. Because they're being sold a fantasy instead of a system. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody in this space wants to say out loud: Passive income is not passive at the start. Ever. Every YouTuber, every course seller, every 'laptop lifestyle' account is showing you month 36 of their journey. Not month one. Not the 14-hour days, the failed products, the $0 PayPal dashboards they stared at for six straight months. The 2026 version of this conversation is even more dangerous. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry so much that everyone is flooding the same channels simultaneously. Digital products. Faceless YouTube. Print on demand. Notion templates. The market isn't dead, but it is deafeningly loud. So what actually works right now? The people winning are not finding secret niches. They are building small, boring, systematic operations in overlooked corners of existing platforms. One person I know nets $4,100 a month selling licensed music loops to content creators. Another clears $2,800 monthly licensing Excel templates to small accounting firms. Neither of them went viral. Neither has a personal brand. They solved a specific problem for a specific person and automated the delivery. That is the real definition of passive income. Solve once. Deliver forever. The side hustle culture of 2026 is obsessed with the aesthetic of freedom. The people actually achieving it are obsessed with the mechanics of it. There is a massive difference between those two groups.

Odogwu Herself (@IdaraImeh) reportedLook at the timeline and something clicks. May 2025, Coinbase drops x402 so agents can pay per request. September 2025, Google launches AP2 with over 60 partners including Mastercard and PayPal. January 2026, ERC-8004 hits Ethereum mainnet, almost 39,000 agents register in 90 days. May 2026, @Concordium’s Agent Registry goes live. June 2026, Proof introduces x401 to handle identity proof. That's five major pieces of agent infrastructure landing across just over a year, and the gaps between them keep shrinking. Payment, identity proof, runtime management, persistent registry, verified human anchor, each one built by a different team without waiting for the others to finish first. Nobody planned one unified system. It's assembling itself in public, piece by piece, weeks apart instead of years apart. That pace alone tells you something about how seriously the industry is taking this problem right now.

3dot (@3dotfunds) reportedAdvent and Stripe walked away from $PYPL PayPal today. The biggest fintech take-private ever attempted... $60.50 a share, roughly $53 billion... died over price: the board rejected it in July, the talks for more went nowhere, and per Bloomberg the consortium moved on. PYPL closed down 12.7% at $53.66, a $45.9 billion market cap. Two things stand out. First, the stock is still well above the $38 area it traded at in February before the bid interest surfaced. The market didn't delete the takeover story today; it cut the strike. If the buyers return... Bloomberg says they could... the next number starts lower, in a market pricing 59% odds of a September hike. Second, look at what Stripe bought instead this month... OpenRouter, an AI model-routing startup, for a reported $7 billion-plus. Between a payments giant at 11x earnings and AI infrastructure, the capital picked the infrastructure. That is pretty much the whole 2026 tape in one decision. Standalone case for the bulls... ~10x earnings, $6B of annual free cash flow, buybacks running. The board is betting the turnaround beats the bid. As of tonight it's $7 billion behind.

The Market Detective (@MarketDetectiv) reportedStrip out the deal speculation and PayPal was already down 27% YTD, 45.3% below its 52-week high of $79.50. New CEO Enrique Lores (ex-HP) is mid-restructuring: a planned 20% workforce cut, targeting $1.5B in cost savings over 2-3 years.

Surmount (@SurmountInvest) reportedA $50 BILLION deal to buy PayPal just fell apart. Its stock COMPLETELY crashed in hours. Retail investors who bet on the deal got wiped out. But the twist is who actually killed it… Here is what actually happened: For months, a rumor had been lifting PayPal's stock. The talk first surfaced back in February. A group of investors wanted to buy the whole company. The buyers were Stripe and a firm called Advent. Their offer was 60.50 dollars per share. That added up to more than 50 billion dollars. It would have been one of the biggest buyouts ever. So investors piled in, betting the deal would close. The stock climbed and climbed on that hope alone. By then, PayPal was worth about the same as the offer. The stock and the deal had basically become one thing. Then on Friday, the buyers simply walked away. There was no deal, no premium, and no rescue. And the gains built on that hope vanished with it. In a few hours, billions in value were gone. Here is the twist that stings the most: PayPal's board had already turned the offer down. They felt the price was still too low. They held out, hoping for a better deal. Instead, the buyers walked away for good. Shareholders did not get a bigger payday. They got a sharp loss instead. And this was not the only one. The day before, Wendy's dropped about 13 percent. An investor group had planned to take it private. Then that plan was quietly shelved too. Its stock had been riding on that plan too. Two well-known companies, crushed in 48 hours. Both were floating on the same fragile thing. Not real profits, only the hope of a buyout. This is a trap retail investors keep falling into. They treat struggling stocks like lottery tickets. They buy the rumor and pray a buyer appears. It feels like easy money while it works. When no buyer comes, the story dies fast. And the people who chased it become the exit. A stock held up by hope has no floor. When the hope leaves, so does your money. The investors who avoid this are not chasing rumors. They follow rules based on what a business actually earns. Rules that ignore the noise and the wishful thinking. That is exactly what Surmount was built for. Automated, rules-based strategies that run on logic, not hope. So when the next rumor collapses, you are not trapped. You are already positioned, with a plan set in advance.

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@ooyanggy I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

MACRO DESK (@MDESKw) reported$PYPL PAYPAL UNDER PRESSURE Stripe and Advent have reportedly abandoned their pursuit of acquiring PayPal, ending talks over a potential $50B+ deal. The consortium had previously offered $60.50 per share, but PayPal reportedly viewed the offer as insufficient. $PYPL is now tumbling in premarket, down roughly 17%, as the takeover premium gets wiped out and investors refocus on PayPal’s underlying fundamentals.

Enkhmanal 🟠 (@Enkhmanal) reported$PYPL - PAYPAL REJECTED $60.50 A SHARE, THEN TRADED ABOVE IT FOR WEEKS. THE BIDDERS JUST WALKED. PayPal sits between a shopper and a merchant and keeps a slice of what passes through. In July, Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 a share for the whole company. The board turned it down, on the argument that the price undervalued what management could still build — and the market did not merely accept that argument, it priced a better one. PayPal closed last night at $61.47, above the offer it had refused. This morning Bloomberg reported that Stripe and Advent have dropped the pursuit. The stock is quoted near $52 in pre-market, −15%, with the S&P flat. A rejected bid is not a floor. Once a stock trades through an offer, the market has stopped pricing the deal and started pricing a bump — a number nobody has agreed to pay and nobody is obliged to. The day before that offer arrived, PayPal closed at $47.37. It is the last price in this story anyone paid with no buyer in the room.
