I really do not grasp business when PayPal is somehow worth over $50 Billion
It doesn't have assets? It's not a bank
Is it because PayPal is integrated already into so many websites?
Wouldn't it take decades to make back $50 Billion in fees?

- wyre 3mo agoAccording to Wikipedia they hold $80 billion in assets. They also hold a lot of financial data of its users, which is certainly worth more than anything that could ever make sense to my pleb brain.
