I would love to hear DHH's thoughts on this because:

a) He recommended Braintree from Day 1 as an interesting payments company.

b) He liked that they were Bootstrapped.

c) They took a lot of funding and that seems to have gone sour.

d) They are being acquired - in what looks like a desperation sale.

e) They are being acquired by Paypal - which I am sure I have heard him hate on.

If he will talk publicly about this...that would be quite interesting.

I imagine now, he may consider moving all his payments to Stripe.
