"Will we see Visa/MasterCard/PayPal acquire a bnpl in 2021; or a Stripe going into acquisition mode? Visa or MasterCard if we could get them as an investor into Zip along with the 4 Percent that Amazon Oz own with their warrants that would meet the desire of a few on here to have a key investor."
Paidy in Japan looks ripe for the picking to me depending on if it can be embedded into Yahoo Japan. Did some quick research and Yahoo Japan is where the Japanese buy and sell through auction listings or buy it now- ebay is virtually non-existent. Paidy embedded on Yahoo Japan is the perfect association as it's already Japan's go to bnpl.
Afterpay has its foot in the door so to speak because it's embedded on tech giant ebay's platform- you are given the option of cred card, afterpay or paypal. That gives afterpay a monopoly when compared to other bnpl businesses.
Q- Is Z1p embedded within a tech giant's platform? A- no.
Could be wrong but Paidy seems a better target than Z1p with that ability to conquer the Japanese market via Yahoo and thus create another monopoly.

I totally #^&*@% up yesterday trying to execute a buy on ASN as it went from 4 cents to 10.5 cents. Autofill on my computer had me pulling my hair out as I couldn't enter the correct values. sigh. Would love to say that bnpl is where its all at but, it's Lithium that gets investors really excited.
