Won't try to convince you

No worries. Not trying to sell you PYPL, either.


PYPL is so far behind in terms of innovation


Hence the ~10 P/E

Or, as I said upthread:

Are the kids moving to a tiktok based payment system without us knowing about it?

Wirecard was an entertaining little (?) scam. A reminder to stay away from hype.

Just read a report that said something like 20% of us consumer use BNPL and the figure will go up to 1/3 in a couple of years. You could be right about paypal not having anything to offer except for the paypal and venmo brands which have to be worth something. Meanwhile the stock sells for about 10 times earning and is projected to grow 12-13% a year, There seems to be a lot of negativity in a stock but I think they are making good moves they applied to be a bank and they are purchasing an Israeli company to help with agentic processing, The stock is priced high relative to book but not high relative to earnings and projected growth,
