  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder acceptable value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

  If you've missed $SERV earlier, It's time to start accumulating slowly from here. The market sentiment is not good right now, It may also go down further but this price seems reasonable Order 1: CMP Order 2: 0.195$ Order 3: 0.015$ The team is building silently in bear market. - Joining Emerging Payments Association Asia (EPAA) alongside global giants like Mastercard, PayPal, and HSBC - Pushing hard into regulated finance + agentic payments with v3 in development + SOC2/ISO certifications underway - Look where @openservai logo sitting in middle of tech giants.

  @KatrinaHelle Been in PayPal since 2023. Fortunate enough to have been able to average down. $80 is a good price, $40 off the low. Surely PayPal will reach $100 again on its own but CEO said turnaround would not begin till 2028. Rather go ahead and cash out at $80 then redeploy.

  @burned_biscuitt @Rocketyyyy @HYPEX The meme came first (one week early), before the game launch. No one had any idea that Endfield would actually contain a PayPal glitch like that. So once people found out, the meme basically blew up for predicting the future of whatever.

  Facebook market place reselling flip this week: $1500 - buy price $2700 - sell price $1200 - net profit Dell Poweredge Server R730xd w/ 768GB RAM (24x32GB) When I saw this post to fb I had to get the exact RAM config right away. Seller was fast and once I had the exact specs I text a pic to my memory buyer. He came back with a $100 per module. Right away I knew I could spend $1500 and get $2400 on the RAM. I offer $1200 on the server. Saw that the seller had seen the message but no response. Waited two hours but didn't want to loose the sale. Offered asking price and arranged to meet that evening. Ate a little on paypal fees for the $2400 but the buyer covers the minimal shipping charge. Will sell the server on fb marketplace for around $300. Quick flip. Electronics aren't the easiest resell but if you know what you're looking at then there can be a lot of upside. Definitely not a resale asset class to sleep on.

  PART 5 — CREDIBILITY ENDORSEMENT Credibility endorsement happens when the reputation or authority of one person, organization or group is allowed to strengthen the credibility of somebody else — without necessarily verifying the thing for which that credibility is being used. It does not require dishonesty. It can happen entirely in good faith. And in an online fundraising community built heavily upon personal recommendations, it can happen remarkably easily. __________________________________________________ WHO DECIDES WHO IS CREDIBLE? Spend enough time in the pro-Ukraine fundraising world on X and you begin to recognize the signals. Trusted fundraiser. Scambuster. Investigator. Vetted. Verified. Then come the associations. Known fundraisers. Military units. Soldiers. Commanders. Charities. Established organisations. Prominent accounts. Each association can add another layer of reassurance. And eventually a perfectly reasonable human shortcut develops: ---------------------------------------------------------- “PEOPLE I TRUST TRUST THIS PERSON.” There is nothing irrational about that. None of us can independently investigate everybody we encounter. The danger comes when: “People I trust this person” quietly becomes: “THIS PERSON HAS BEEN VERIFIED.” Those are not the same thing. TOONIE TUESDAY Consider Lorelei. Toonie Tuesday publicly promoted a fundraiser involving Lorelei and described her as: “THE ULTIMATE SCAMBUSTER.” That is useful contemporaneous evidence of how Lorelei was being presented to the community. An established fundraising initiative wasn't merely interacting with her. It was publicly attaching a description to her: Scambuster. That word carries an implication. A scambuster identifies scams. A scambuster investigates questionable people. A scambuster is somebody whose judgement about potential fraud should presumably carry weight. But it isn't a professional qualification. There is no examination required to become a Twitter scambuster. No licence. No regulatory body. No published evidential standard somebody must satisfy before adopting the description. Yet when an established fundraising initiative publicly describes somebody as “the ultimate scambuster,” its own reputation inevitably adds weight to that description. -------------------------------------------------------- CREDIBILITY HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED. That doesn't mean Toonie Tuesday did anything improper. It demonstrates the mechanism. -------------------------------------------------------- ANDREW PERPETUA @AndrewPerpetua Andrew Perpetua provides an even clearer example — because he has publicly described how the same mechanism operated around Dmytro. According to Andrew, he was initially: “HIGHLY SUS” of Dmytro. That matters. Andrew wasn't describing blind trust. He had doubts. So he did what most reasonable people would consider sensible: He asked people he trusted. According to Andrew, he asked numerous people in the Ukrainian military about Dmytro. And: “SEVERAL VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY SAID HE WAS LEGIT.” So Andrew supported him. Then the allegations exploded. And Andrew was angry. Not merely because of what was being alleged about Dmytro. He was angry at people who, in his view, subsequently behaved as though Dmytro's problems had always been obvious. His earlier post makes that frustration unmistakable: “If you thought he was a fraud, you should have said so.” That presents us with an extraordinarily important question. WHAT WAS ANDREW SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE? He had doubts & checked. People he considered credible vouched for Dmytro. He adjusted his opinion accordingly. The weakness wasn't necessarily Andrew's judgement. The weakness was the verification mechanism itself. Because Andrew had not established: “Dmytro's fundraising has been independently financially verified.” What he had actually established was: “PEOPLE I TRUST SAY DMYTRO IS LEGIT.” Again: Those are not the same thing. WHO VERIFIED THE VERIFIERS? Suppose a Ukrainian soldier tells Andrew: “Dmytro is legitimate. He helped my unit.” The soldier may be telling the absolute truth. Perhaps Dmytro delivered a vehicle. Perhaps he delivered equipment. Perhaps he personally risked his life doing it. That establishes something meaningful. But did that soldier examine Dmytro's PayPal records? Did they reconcile donations against purchases? Did they establish where every vehicle originated? Did they determine whether an asset was donated before money was subsequently raised for it? Probably not. So the soldier can be completely honest. Andrew can be completely reasonable in relying upon them. Dmytro can genuinely have helped that soldier. And yet the financial question can remain completely unanswered. Nobody necessarily lied. THE CREDIBILITY SIMPLY TRAVELLED FURTHER THAN THE EVIDENCE. ---------------------------------------------------- THIS IS WHY HINDSIGHT MATTERS Once allegations become widely accepted, reputation can change astonishingly quickly. People who were once publicly trusted become people whom: “Everybody knew” couldn't be trusted. People who once vouched for somebody remember their doubts more clearly than their endorsements. Old warnings are rediscovered. Old associations become uncomfortable. And eventually history can begin to look much cleaner than it actually was. That is why contemporary posts matter. They tell us what people were saying before everyone knew what they now say everybody knew. Andrew's posts matter for precisely that reason. They preserve the uncomfortable middle: “I WAS SUSPICIOUS. I ASKED. PEOPLE VOUCHED FOR HIM. I BELIEVED THEM.” That is far more informative than hindsight. -------------------------------------------------------- DANIEL ASHER Another voice from within the broader community expressed the underlying problem remarkably well: “THAT'S THE WRONG DEFAULT SETTING FOR A COMMUNITY THAT OUGHT TO ACT ON EVIDENCE IT HAS.” That sentence takes us beyond Dmytro, Lorelei, Andrew or Toonie Tuesday. Because ultimately this isn't simply a problem with individuals. IT IS A SYSTEM PROBLEM. A community raising significant amounts of humanitarian money inevitably requires trust. But trust cannot become its verification system. Reputation is not verification. Association is not verification. Endorsement is not verification. And neither is a title somebody has acquired within an online community. --------------------------------------------------------- REPUTATION SHOULD TELL US WHERE TO START — NOT WHERE TO STOP A fundraiser with years of successful deliveries deserves to have that history considered. A volunteer trusted by soldiers deserves to have that considered. An organisation with a strong track record deserves to have that considered. But when somebody asks a specific factual question: How much was raised? What was purchased? What did it cost? Who paid for it? Where did it come from? Who received it? the answer cannot be: “LOOK WHO TRUSTS ME.” That answers a different question. And this is why credibility washing matters. Because the people lending their credibility may be completely honest. The person receiving that credibility may have genuinely earned much of their reputation. The association itself may be completely legitimate. The mistake happens when that credibility is allowed to prove something it never actually verified. So perhaps we have been asking the wrong question. Not: “WHO DO WE TRUST?” but: “WHAT CAN WE VERIFY?” That standard applies to Dmytro, Lorelei, people investigating and it applies to us. --------------------------------------------------------- Trust should make verification easier. It should never make verification unnecessary. ---------------------------------------------------------

  🚨SCAM ALERT! Scammers hacked my cousin's account & others. Facebook & other social media accounts are being HACKED, and scammers are posting stuff like their uncle is moving to a rest home and doing liquidation sales with items priced super cheap. DON'T BUY IT!!! Do not send money! Scammers will ask for down payments via Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. One of my cousin's friends did it & just lost $2000. I thought it was real, and so did my dad, and we almost sent down payments for vehicles priced very low. There were several red flags, so I started doing some checking. Sure enough, it's a common scam. People aren't careful with their Facebook or other social media account passwords, or they get phished, and their accounts get hacked; scammers then post whatever they want to get money from the hacked person's family and friends. When a person from a hacked FB page contacts you via Messenger, report the message and use the "Other" selection and choose "Hacked." I did it, and Facebook just took down my cousin's account. Be aware. This is happening RIGHT NOW. That's it! Have a great week and beware of scammers! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!! 💯💯💯🚨🚨🚨
