  Update: After my tweet, and after he tried to convince whoever commented on his post to side with him, I sent him a message. He replied with this, then stopped responding altogether. Today, he filed three more claims with @PayPal . I still can't use my account normally because of this situation, and he has simply gone silent. Honestly, I’m fed up; it’s exhausting, especially since I shouldn't even have to be wasting my time posting this or dealing with this issue in the first place

  Great article @XinfinUSA. You touch on a lot of points that stand true. Each crypto cycle brings a new piece of the puzzle that will enhance the use of blockchain. Blockchains immutability and AI capabilities go hand in hand. It is also notable to point out that most people don’t care how an app works, they just care that it works and serves the function that solves their problem. PayPal for example, moving money around while keeping the buyer’s credit card or banking info private. Or Venmo allowing merchants to receive payment for goods. Most people don’t know how the money is moved, they just care that they get paid as a vendor or pay a merchant as a user while keeping your data safe. Similarly with blockchain, we need AI to facilitate how a user will interact with it and nothing else. In years time, 98% of the planet wont care if your payment happened on XDC, Solana, XRP or BTC. They will care the cost of the transaction and that it didn’t fail in the process. The integration of AI will definitely close the gap between blockchain and the users. Most companies developing on AI care about the nest phase, and that is compliance and identity of those agents. Can I trust this agent to move $$$ to pay for goods and services. Can your AI agent talk to my agent to complete this transaction without falling victim of a scam, etc. We’re seeing the shift with all the companies we are meeting regarding AI and the major part of that is compliance. To move money around the world, institutions want to know if the other person on the other side of the screen or phone are who they say they are. That they will do what they say they will do, and that you’ll get either your $ or the goods you ordered. IA agents wont be any different. Then blockchain will be the immutable layer for accountability and trustworthiness. Excellent article.

  @BullTheoryio PayPal turned down over $50 billion thinking the buyers would raise their number, and instead the whole thing just disappeared. Now the stock is down 12% and that massive LBO never happened. Feels like they misread how serious the other side was about walking

  @Adiofreak PayPal is ******* garbage and useless when trying to track down fraudulent transactions. Switch to Chase. Anytime I call, I speak to American women who are so kind, helpful and personable. Seemed too good to be true but they haven’t fumbled it yet.

  I think we're about to have a strange new version of SEO. Your next customer might not be the one reading your website. It might be their AI agent. Stripe's leadership is already talking about a future where traditional checkout pages become less important as AI agents handle purchases. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and others are building the payment rails for this. That made me think about something else. Today we optimise websites for humans: Good copy. Good design. Fast pages. Clear CTAs But an AI agent may approach your business very differently. It may ask: - What exactly do you sell? - How much does it cost? - Is it available? - Can I trust this company? - What are the alternatives? - What happens if something goes wrong? And then make the recommendation for its human. So perhaps the next website optimisation question isn't only: “Will a visitor convert?” It may become: “Can a machine understand why this business is the right choice?” That's a very different problem. And I think there's a lot of room for small businesses and solo founders to get ahead of it. When I started my AI journey and designed my first landing page, I predicted a similar trend would emerge and become a major challenge for SaaS founders, digital marketers and agencies. This prediction eventually became a core insight about my website CRO audit tool, SiteRoast (link in bio). To share with you, this was one of the top 5 recommendations when I asked AI during my product research, and when it got ready, I did a self-audit of my page numerous times with AI, understood their findings and reasons behind them, thanked them for improvements and then made it better for my ICPs. Today, after 500+ hours of coding and fixing work, SiteRoast does CRO-level audits at a fraction of the cost, suggesting step-by-step, priority-wise fixes with a ready-to-share PDF for your internal team in 60 Seconds. It's also available as a white-label product for agencies. SiteRoast is the only product in the market that does that.

  $PYPL — PayPal Holdings Stripe + Advent's ~$50B buyout bid has collapsed (Bloomberg). Shares down 12-15% premarket — a takeover-premium unwind, not an earnings problem. P/E: ~10x, back near the sub-8.5x all-time floor (hit Q1 2026). Business is unchanged — the acquirer walked.

  @inkofnightfall 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.

  I envision each outgoing CEO of @PayPal leaving a note to their successor that goes something like this: “Dear [next guy], Pretty easy gig. Grab onto some new tech buzz and make the engineers incorporate it in a cheap way that draws in more users but doesn’t add any real value. You don’t want to add any significant operational load. IMPORTANT: Keep the customer service offshore, minimum wage, and with zero authority to fix real problems or escalate issues. Sit back, relax, and extract some wealth from the working class for the next 2-3 years. You’ll be all set for your another board seat and CEO role. Should go without saying, but we all have to as a formality: Make sure your replacement is a man. See you at the **** this weekend. Sincerely, [outgoing CEO]”

  Chips gave it all back. Here's what went down on the Nasdaq today 👇 🟢 Workday +5.76%, Amazon +3.97%, Intuit +2.89%, Airbnb +2.73% Software and the big consumer names had a solid day. Apple, Microsoft and Google all finished green too. 🔴 PayPal −12.71% — a $50B takeover bid fell apart 🔴 Marvell −10.28% — beat on earnings and still got sold 🔴 Nvidia −4.57% — giving back the post-earnings pop Chips got hit across the board, not just Nvidia. ARM, Lam Research, Applied Materials all down hard. Kevin Warsh talked at Jackson Hole and made it clear the inflation fight isn't over, which usually hurts the expensive names first. Two days ago Nvidia was up almost 9%. Today it's down 4.5% and the whole chip trade came with it.

  PayPal turned down a $60.50 buyout. Stock is ~$54 pre-market after the buyers walked. Yesterday it closed $61. The run-up this summer was a Q2 beat plus “someone might take this private.” One of those just died. What’s left is a payments company still losing checkout share to Apple and Google, half a year into a new CEO, and no bid sitting under the price. Bloomberg says the group could come back. The stock got expensive relative to $60.50 - which is why they left. Cheaper from here, that math changes again. Did the board overplay it, or refuse to sell too cheap?

  visa just tightened the number that can freeze your store. most sellers have no idea it moved. the numbers: 1. visa's threshold dropped to 1.5% this year 2. stripe caps around 0.5% 3. shopify payments and paypal sit closer to 1% your real danger line is probably tighter than whatever you've been told. cross it and you're not getting a warning. you're getting: - a reserve hold on 20% of payouts - or a full shutdown while the money you already made sits frozen. the fix isn't clever, it's boring: 1. respond to every support ticket inside 12 hours 2. run every ad claim through one test — would this survive your own mother reading it most flags trace back to one of those two. not the product.

  PayPal shares are sinking after a Bloomberg report says Advent and Stripe have walked away from their takeover bid. The pair had offered $60.50/share in July, valuing PayPal at $53B. $PYPL is down more than 11% today.

  MojoTrick (@MojoTricks) reported 49 minutes ago

  PayPal just lost its bid premium in one headline. $PYPL down 14% Bloomberg reported Stripe and Advent International dropped a pursuit valued at about $53 billion. The consortium had offered $60.50 a share in July, a roughly 28% premium. The board called that inadequate, citing regulation, financing and the turnaround under new CEO Enrique Lores. The stock fell more than 14% to around $52. That is near 10 times forward earnings versus a long-run average closer to 27 times. The market is pricing two things at once. The deal is off. And Apple Pay and the rest of digital payments still sit on the same field. A take-private that cannot clear the board does not fix either problem.

  Breakdown of the good news… 1. Shifting AI Off-Planet (The Energy Crisis Fix) The biggest hidden genius of the SpaceXAI / xAI merger is solving the global power crisis. Terrestrial AI data centers are consuming an unsustainable amount of Earth's electricity grid. [1] •What's Coming: SpaceX has filed to operate up to 1 million orbital data center satellites. •The Loop: Musk plans to use Starship to launch massive AI compute clusters directly into space. These space-based data centers will run on 100% pure, uninterrupted solar energy, bypassing Earth's power constraints completely. Starlink will then beam the AI processing power down to Earth instantaneously. [1, 2, 3] 🤖 2. The Internal "Circular Economy" Musk designs his companies so they don't have to rely on traditional, fragile global supply chains. Instead, his companies are their own primary customers. [1, 2] •Tesla’s factory labor: When Tesla rolls out its mass-produced Optimus Humanoid Robots, they won't be sold to the public first. They will be deployed inside Tesla’s own automotive factories to solve labor shortages and cut manufacturing costs to almost zero. [1] •The Compute Loop: The ultra-powerful AI chips designed by Tesla for its self-driving Robotaxis are funneled directly back to xAI to train newer versions of Grok. Nothing is wasted. [1] 🏦 3. Rewriting the Global Financial System Musk's oldest obsession is rebuilding the way money moves through the economy itself—a plan he has had since his early 1999 PayPal days. [1] •What's Coming: X is transitioning into an all-in-one financial hub. •The Loop: By integrating high-yield banking, peer-to-peer payments, and instant stock trading directly into X, Musk will have direct, frictionless access to hundreds of millions of retail investors. The next time a company like Neuralink or The Boring Company needs capital, his followers will be able to fund it natively in seconds, effectively cutting Wall Street banks completely out of the equation. [1] 🔮 The End Game: Post-Scarcity Economy Musk has openly predicted that by 2036, the combination of autonomous humanoid robots and advanced AI will create an "age of abundance" where goods and services are so cheap that traditional money will become almost meaningless. [1, 2] He isn't managing money to accumulate cash in a bank account. He is spending every dollar he can get his hands on now to control the core infrastructure of the future: the transport (SpaceX), the intelligence (xAI), and the automation (Tesla). [1, 2] If you'd like, we can focus on what is closest on the horizon: •Do you want to see how space-based AI data centers will actually work? •Are you curious about when the Optimus robots are scheduled to take over Tesla's assembly lines? [1, 2]

  @anthonyiseman @StockMarketNerd Short term fine - long term debatable. I'll Never buy another CRM licence ever again - I suspect no other founder will either, large enterprise will double down thinking it can help them become "ai" - The markets react quickly, often too quick.... but answer me this... when I can build a CRM in an afternoon.. (and I have, several times)... why would I pay for it ? Compliance, Security, Infastructure.... I already have all of those with Cloudflare or Google... I'm already paying for it... why would I pay twice.. what you're seeing is the ApplePay launch for PayPal...CD's replacing tapes, Digital camera's replacing film.... change takes time... those that adapt will be fine.. those that dont, die. thats just the nature of the S curve of business. Be under no illusion, Ai is and will change EVERYTHING!
