Now on those the unit economics are intact for UPI Tenpay etc. But PayPal does get a small cut (probably similar to a small interchange fee) and it makes Venmo even more compelling when compared with Zelle and Cash App who are stuck with domestic implementation"

"$PYPL PayPal indeed is ramping BNPL hence why the Blue Owl announced last month occurred. BNPL products carry a XXXX% merchant charge so PayPal is essentially giving that back to customers this holiday season. This will ramp revenue and scale the product but won't benefit the bottom line on BNPL Pay-in-4 (which carries no interest late penalties and is being sold to Blue Owl in the US). In fact it's a slight hit to the bottom line. However PayPal Monthly is now available in stores and is a longer-term or higher value BNPL product which does carry interest (in this example XX% APR).

I'm not sure that happens but if it does I am in absolute agreement with Chris here. SoFi will benefit even though they likely won't buy many of these loans. It'll be a broad body of companies who have plenty of cash on the books. $XXX trillion is a colossal amount. I'm skeptical this happens but if it does the bigger impact is #2 and #3 as Chris says.

"$BMNR I understand their thesis but the big issue is they picked the wrong target. Bitmine like $MSTR trades above mNAV on a consistent basis plus the cash and yield allows them some flexibility for those rare moments where their shares are undervalued to do a tactical buyback. If they were short another DAT that might work out for them but they fail to understand that the DAT likes consolidation and as a result bit mind is likely a long-term winner even while others struggle to have the same premium. The only way this really works out well for them is if we hit crypto winter a lot earlier"
