Why would you want to leave PayPal Pro, for Stripe, if you're getting a lower rate w/ PayPal?

While that's a fair decision keep in mind that Paypal started as an unknown website at some point.

Are they planning on literally taking over Visa, or is an XXX million dollar exit to PayPal good enough?

Life is grand when you sell out to one of the largest money transmitters in the nation (in this case, PayPal).

I have used Paypal as a commerce before for my online game and I can't stress this enough...

What I'd like is a PayPal one-click payment sort of system for that, with limitation of e.g.

Open source software has been around way longer than paypal donations.

Yeah, but then there's still the issue of secrets, you need to have testing PayPal credentials, testing mailing service credentials, etc.

And of course everyone trusts that PayPal won't be hacked.

I would be willing to pay $1.50 for a song if it were through a known party, like Amazon Payments or PayPal.

Each time I have to wait for my PayPal account to get charged with USDs through ACH transfer, I ask myself why it's so slow.

I think micropayments would be a viable solution if a platform that's fairly secure and non-intrusive was created (I don't think Paypal or Bitcoin fit the bill).

It’s note-worthy that as foreigner, I can’t use Lyft at all currently, even when I’m in the states, as none of their payment methods work: they don’t accept credit cards outside the US/canada, they don’t accept Google Wallet if your account is non-US and their PayPal payment option just said “Server error”.

Meanwhile Godaddy opens Alipay (most popular one in China, kinda like Paypal) for the convenience of the Chinese.

Venmo was saved by being acquired by Braintree, which was acquired by Paypal, who is licensed.

Paypal pro has more flexible fraud controls, though many of them are extra cost.
