A few days ago my wife wanted to send £40 to a New Zealand florist. Her bank needed all kinds of info which had us tied up in knots trying to provide it - AND they would charge a Transaction Fee. After three fruitless days I said, "Can they accept PayPal?" They could. Five minutes later, the transaction was completed using my PayPal account, with no additional fees. All we needed was the recipient's email address. Job done. Well done #PayPal!

#Paypal möchte von mir bei unbekannten Empfängern trotz aktiviertem TOTP eine Verifizierung der Transaktionen per Telefon statt per TOTP. Ich habe da aber aus Gründen gar keine Mobilfunknummer hinterlegt. Kann man diese Authentifizierung wirklich nicht auf TOTP umschalten?

After a long restless sleepless night filled with pain, the old man drags his breathless lifeless corpse out of a sunken bed of jagged thorny rocks, unable to yet see and as the classical music plays he drags himself off to prepare his coffee, as his hands tremble he pours in the water and counts the scoops of grind, fumbling he manages to plug in the percolator, as the coffee begins to perc, he shuffles off to the toilet where his bowels bellow out in a hungerous rage, in the mirror a tired old man stares into the abyss, his hair and beard disheveled, he struggles to brush them out and sighs who cares anyways, stumbling back to his bed, he struggles to pull on his socks and pants, he pours a cup of coffee and gently packs his pipe with scraps of tobacco, he opens the door and slips outside, the sky is dark and gray the air is heavy moist and mild, as the world begins to wake and move, not one soul seems to see nor care for the enduring plight of hell the old man is trapped within;

GiroPay war mal (u.a.) als deutsche bzw europäische Alternative zu PayPal gedacht. Wurde dann (u.a.) wegen größerem Scope von WERO eingestellt.

WERO geht aktuell (ohne ersichtlichen Sachgrund) nur mit Smartphone-Apps. GiroPay ging ohne Smartphone im Browser, PayPal geht ohne Smartphone im Browser.
Wann kommt WERO im Browser? Gerade für Online-Shopping erscheint es das bequemer, nicht das Smartphone rausholen zu müssen.
In February 2016, Jeffrey #Epstein wrote an email to Peter #thiel co-founder of #PayPal and #palantir with a sentence that should have made the front page of every newspaper in the Western world: "As you probably know, I represent the Rothschilds."
The name #Rothschild appears nearly 12,000 times across the 3.8 million pages released in January 2026. Twelve thousand times. By comparison, #Clinton appears at a significantly lower frequency.
I have not been feeling that great recently, I mean I can't remember when I actually felt good, but between the incredibly poor sleep, horbile poverty diet, the constant pain, I have just really felt run down more than usual, what energy I start the day with is often depleted fairly quickly, with very little effort on my part, on top of barely having food to actually eat, over the past month or so my appetite has really plumetited, I am kind of hungry now but between not actually having really anything to eat and how I'm feeling, it's like it really does not matter, the past 2 months I have been trying to some new supplements and vitamins, to make up for the deficiencies and to maybe help some of my inflammation and blood pressure roller coaster, I have had little difference on those fronts, my water intake has stayed the same and my output seems to be ok, but I am having harder and harder time moving and every movement seems labored, my executive cognitive function is declining, it is becoming harder and harder to do simple and basic things, even thinking this out to put it words between my hands struggling to type and actually find the correct words and spelling them right the first time, is a chore, trying to read anything on screen or paper is a battle between blurry and focus the words look like spiraling alien hieroglyphics, anyways, I am really simply not feeling good and I can't exactly describe how I am feeling either I simply lack the function to, I am currently 25 days away from becoming 48, but being disabled and existing in poverty for so long it's more like 25 days until I am 88;

Today is a great day! After so many years I finally closed my #PayPal account for good… an account I barely ever used anyway. #banking And I don't trust anymore this service, so I’d rather use the services here in my nation that give me the same chances. And after knowing all about their dodgy history, I don’t have any doubts whatsoever. #PeterThiel change one letter and voilà Peter Thief... or The Reptile 🤣
Stripe erwägt laut Berichten eine Übernahme von PayPal, um seine moderne Zahlungsplattform mit PayPals Endkundenfokus und Know-how bei digitalen Währungen zu bündeln. Die Gespräche sind noch früh, könnten aber den Payment-Markt und Themen wie Stablecoins grundlegend verändern.

Stripe considera comprar PayPal en una operación histórica de 43.000 millones
En el sector fintech hoy un rumor que podría cambiar las reglas del juego para siempre. Según informes de Bloomberg publicados este 24 de febrero de 2026, Stripe —la empresa privada más valiosa del sector— está evaluando seriamente la adquisición de «una parte o la totalidad» de PayPal. Este movimiento consolidaría a Stripe como el gigante absoluto de los pagos online, absorbiendo a uno de los pioneros de la industria que hoy atraviesa sus horas más bajas.
La noticia ha provocado una reacción inmediata en Wall Street, haciendo que las acciones de PayPal (PYPL) suban casi un 7% tras años de estancamiento. Lo que hace que esta operación sea fascinante es el cambio de roles: Stripe, una empresa que aún no cotiza en bolsa, tiene hoy una valoración de 159.000 millones de dólares, casi cuatro veces más que el valor de mercado actual de PayPal (unos 43.000 millones).
¿Por qué Stripe querría comprar PayPal?
A pesar de sus dificultades recientes, PayPal sigue siendo un gigante con activos extremadamente valiosos para Stripe:
- Acceso al consumidor final: Stripe es una potencia en el procesamiento de pagos para empresas (B2B), pero PayPal le daría control sobre Venmo y una base de más de 400 millones de usuarios activos que compran directamente online.
- Eliminación de la competencia: Al absorber a su rival más antiguo, Stripe eliminaría gran parte de la fricción competitiva en el mercado de EE. UU. y Europa.
- Infraestructura Cripto: Ambas compañías han acelerado sus planes con stablecoins en 2026. Unirlas crearía el ecosistema financiero híbrido (fiat-cripto) más grande del planeta.
El declive de PayPal: De pionero a «objetivo de compra»
Para PayPal, esta noticia es un baño de realidad. Tras haber perdido casi el 85% de su valor desde sus máximos de 2021, la empresa ha sufrido para competir con Apple Pay, Google Pay y la propia agilidad técnica de Stripe. Ni siquiera el reciente nombramiento de un nuevo CEO ha logrado convencer a los inversores de que PayPal pueda recuperar su gloria pasada de forma independiente.
¿Qué obstáculos enfrenta el acuerdo?
Aunque las conversaciones están en una fase preliminar, el camino no será sencillo:
- Reguladores Antitrust: Una fusión de este calibre seguramente atraerá el escrutinio de la FTC y la Comisión Europea por temor a un monopolio en el procesamiento de pagos digitales.
- Complejidad Técnica: Integrar los sistemas «heredados» de PayPal en la infraestructura moderna de Stripe podría ser una pesadilla de ingeniería de varios años.
- Cultura Empresarial: Stripe se enorgullece de su enfoque centrado en los desarrolladores, mientras que PayPal es una estructura mucho más corporativa y centrada en el consumidor tradicional.
Si el trato se concreta, 2026 será recordado como el año en que la «nueva guardia» de Silicon Valley finalmente devoró a la vieja escuela. Estaremos atentos a las confirmaciones oficiales en las próximas horas.

Such a move by #stripe could expand usefulness for people presently unable to use it without increasing costs (like me)... but i don't think that is what they will do if they acquire #PayPal.
I have a real distaste for platforms that use stripe. They leave a lot of the world out.
Very odd 'paywall' for many in the world that don't have the access.
