I heard a lot of shaky news over the past year from Stripe's customers: [0], [1], [2]
Now there's news about the whole Stripe raising more money [3], [4], [5], eyeing an exit within 12 months.
What does this mean for Stripe customers now and 12 months from now?
I would like my payment infra to be stable, boring, and profitable/sustainable.
But the news is giving me mixed impressions...
