Nice performance. Well done. Have you sold Airbnb?

Yes! Sold last year. Didn't hold for very long. Couldn't get comfortable with regulatory risk amid housing shortages across the globe (& in the U.S.)

Hey Brad, I know you've mentioned Adyen in the past with PayPal but have you done a deeper analysis on it? If yes, what did you like / not like?

Haven't dug that deeply there. Seems like an impressive company. The largest Braintree competitor besides Stripe for sure and has a more complete suite of value add services at this point too. I prefer the combination of branded/unbranded and the merchant/consumer networks. Think it creates a lot of potential to add unique value.

Fantastic job yet again...just when I think your New of the Week can’t get any better, you blow me away! Having spent the last week nursing a cracked tooth (couldn’t even think), and having a lot of catching up to do, I could only manage to consume one item in my backlog, and I chose this. I’m happy I did. A very entertaining read to boot! Thank you.
