I will make a prediction. I think that eBay and PayPal are probably the beginning of a wave of mega deals of flaccid digital businesses that can be revived with the blue chew of capital and the right operator... folks that are AI native are looking at first generation digital native businesses that have become mature and old and stale and aren't run by the founders anymore... there's a couple dozen of them.

this is probably not the final clearing price. I think the price is probably another 10 to 15 percent higher from here. And I will say that there's a certain individual that must look very closely at putting in a competitive bid. ... a shot across the bow for Visa and MasterCard. ... They have enough of these things to go end to end on their own rails.
