I really think PayPal is much easier to use than Stripe. I don't know why it would be acquired instead. It seems that foreigners' aesthetic tastes are indeed different from ours.
Bloomberg: Stripe Considering Acquisition of All or Part of PayPal's Assets On February 25, according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, payment processing company Stripe is considering acquiring all or part of PayPal's assets. Sources said the discussions are still in the early stages, and it is uncertain whether a deal will be reached. Representatives from Stripe and PayPal both declined to comment. PayPal dropped 6.7% to $47.02 on Tuesday in New York, with a market value of approximately $43.3 billion. Founded in the late 1990s, PayPal was a pioneer in digital payments but has recently struggled with modernization of payment technology due to competitors like Apple and Google capturing market share. Stripe, founded by brothers Patrick and John Collison, has become one of the most sought-after players in the industry. Earlier Tuesday, Stripe announced a valuation of $159 billion through an employee tender offer. $AAPLon {alpha}(560x390a684ef9cade28a7ad0dfa61ab1eb3842618c4)
