Dan: Out With the Old, in With the New 💡
We’re always pushing to make life better — simpler, easier, more efficient, and ultimately more enjoyable.
Looking back over the past centuries, it’s impossible to ignore the vast scale of innovation and its impact.
And thanks to the internet, we’re now living in an era where we can invest in innovation from the comfort of our own homes, with just a few taps on our phones.
All of this is made possible by the tremendous wave of technological breakthroughs that’s unfolded over just the past few decades.
This makes me wonder: What groundbreaking advancements lie ahead in the coming decades, and where will we see their impact?
One thing is certain — the banking industry is being disrupted from every angle!
Money in a New Era ✨
Now, more than ever, people have access to information that was once very difficult to get.
Inflation, interest rates, and the U.S. debt — to name a few — are all measures widely accessible to the public.
Looking at these concerning numbers, it’s no wonder that people take precautionary measures to safeguard their money.
More people are adopting Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD), which emerged in the aftermath of the housing bubble.
Those who distrusted the fiat currency and believed inflation was dwindling their purchasing power sought an alternative like BTC.
BTC is a major disruptor to the fiat system, which is closely tied to the traditional banking sector.
The banking industry receives revenue by acquiring interest on loans and from incredibly high credit card interest rates.
With “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) programs and other forms of cost-saving payment solutions, the number of credit card users could decline.
In our Silver Tier model portfolio, one company continues to grow, increasing revenue while saving its customers millions from high interest payments . . .
Shaking Up Finance 💥
PayPal Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: PYPL) provides electronic payment solutions to merchants and consumers with a focus on online transactions.
Additionally, it also owns a dominant person-to-person payment platform, Venmo.
At the end of Q2 2024, PYPL 0.00%↑ had 429 million active accounts and saw nearly 6.6 billion payment transactions, up 8% year over year (YoY).
Instead of gauging its customers in the form of interest payments, as the banking industry does, it makes its revenue from processing payments, which is significantly cheaper than what interest would cost.
As a digital company with a significantly smaller overhead than brick-and-mortar banks, its bottom line should grow as transaction volumes increase.
Here’s a look at how PYPL 0.00%↑ is growing and enhancing its customer experience:
PYPL 0.00%↑ has been the go-to solution for online purchases, with the majority of U.S. adults having used it in the last five years.
Saving People Millions in Rewards 💵
Now, with consumers looking for more ways to save money on every purchase, PYPL 0.00%↑ is expanding its reward program and availability to deliver an omnichannel solution to give users a smart choice for every purchase, every time.
Its enhanced rewards include the ability to choose a monthly category of spending, such as groceries or clothing, to receive 5% cash back on up to $1K.
In today’s economy, this is extremely enticing to shoppers and should draw in more lifetime users!
Say Goodbye to Fees ✌️
PYPL 0.00%↑ has always been one of the earliest adapters.
In 2020, it allowed its users to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal and Venmo accounts.
In 2023, it introduced PayPal USD (PYUSD-USD) — a U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin that allows users to pay no transaction fees when using it to fund eligible transfers to friends and family abroad.
This means you can send money across the world at virtually no charge . . . instantly!
Traditional banks are simply unable to perform this task as wire transfers are expensive and can take days.
The Big News! 🗞️
Earlier this week, PYPL 0.00%↑ announced that it’s enabling its U.S. merchants to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal business account.
While this feature has been around since 2020 for consumers, it’s new for merchants.
Business owners have increasingly expressed a desire for the same cryptocurrency capabilities available to consumers, and PYPL 0.00%↑ is stepping up to meet that demand!
As a leading payment provider, it continues to acquire market share in both the consumer and merchant domains.
PYPL 0.00%↑ is valued at $81 billion but only trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.7X. So, considering the booming crypto sector, future growth is discounted.
With $18.3 billion in cash, PYPL 0.00%↑ has a strong balance sheet and is well-positioned to continue innovating the financial world!
We’ll continue to hold PYPL 0.00%↑ in our Silver Tier model portfolio. If our stance changes, we’ll be sure to notify members.

#GBC100: September 27, 2024
The #GBC100 is up 1.63% today.
Created on September 22, 2022, the #GBC100 is an index/portfolio comprised of opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto-related investments.
Our goals with the #GBC100 are twofold . . .
First, we want readers to get a sense of what our investments are doing in the market, because they can sometimes perform very differently than traditional indices (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
Second, we’d like to eventually turn the #GBC100 into an ETF.
That way, instead of owning hundreds of growth stocks, you can get exposure to ATG Digital thinking — in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto — all in one place.

Next Week: Paul will discuss a game-changer in the transportation world! 🚛
Seeing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — now moving across the U.S. as a tropical storm — we want to take a moment to check in . . .
After all, we have members all over the country (not to mention the globe).
So, wherever you are, we hope that you’re safe. 🙏
We’re so grateful for each and every one of you, and we mean it when we say that your well-being truly matters to us. 🫶
On Friday, September 27, 2024, we hope you stay safe out there!
❤️ This Substack was made — by US, for YOU — with love. ❤️
