your real margin, your real gross profit on that transaction is 25 basis points, 10%. So really, of your 25 million of revenue, you only have 2.5 million of true net revenue.

this could be the buying opportunity for a lot of these equities if you believe in them long-term. I saw Dan Loeb is placing a bunch of bets. He bought some Uber, he bought Nvidia.

The thing to remember about all these businesses, Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, is that they're middlemen businesses, which by definition means that they don't have pricing power... So your margins over time tend to be compressed and over time your share of profits tend to be compressed and you have to give up a lot... So the real takeaway is that this is a very tough, tough business that is a race to the bottom.
