Dang, this smells like trouble. If Stripe is not profitable right now (since they're raising money again) I'm not sure if they will ever be.

They still have to room to grow, yes, but they should be able to fund a move like this on their own, just MHO. Maybe they grew too fast?

I know it's annoying when a comment is wrong and the correct information is in the article, but it's enough to provide the correct information. Empty putdowns etc. just add poison, not information.

Sorry
