  @LaLaLandRecords I tried to order using Paypal on your website and received no confirmation- I don't know if I've ordered it or not. I've seen others have the same issue...?

  @justvikinggg Indeed, although I'm not surprised considering I laid everything out clean as can be, Kept vulgarity to a minimum and sure, I called 'em a ******' dumbass for defending this disgusting trash... but otherwise I really have no issues with them. (P.S That and if they were to respond they'd have to actually account for all of the info above, There's really no way to spin it any other way than "She knew what she signed up for by getting a paypal account, Then she got caught and as such Actions have consequences. Does it suck? Obviously, yes.. but for someone like Vex? I don't feel bad.

  How @GoKiteAI makes agent payments cheaper than $0.01 and why Stripe and PayPal can't keep up The thing is, an AI agent pays for APIs, data, or compute every second, meaning every action is a micropayment worth just a few cents. Stripe/PayPal charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Example: a $0.46 payment → a $0.31 fee. That's 67% eaten up by fees alone! Over a day of agent activity, fees destroy the entire budget. Kite solves this differently: Runs on its own blockchain (Avalanche L1). Uses payment channels: you open one once, and the agent can make thousands of payments almost for free. Real cost - $0.000001 (0.0001 cents) per payment Speed: under 0.1 seconds. Stablecoins (USDC, etc.), with no volatility. @KiteAIFDN Agent Passport is an agent's passport: You set budgets, limits, and time restrictions. There's a kill switch - one button instantly shuts the agent down. Full control and auditability. Real example: An agent called 6 paid APIs → paid only $0.036 in total. That's why 500+ companies are already moving to @Kite_Frens_Eco. It's not a wallet, but dedicated infrastructure for agents.

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interfaces. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  U.S.A.I. 🇺🇸 (@researchUSAI) reported 25 minutes ago

  🇺🇸 The First Order Consequence: Polymarket’s reported payment conduct, if substantiated, would immediately increase reputational risk for Polymarket and likely slow user onboarding and partner trust due to concerns over improper payments, conflicts of interest, and anti-circumvention compliance The Second Order Consequence: If auditors, regulators, or journalists obtain a paper trail showing Polymarket routed $350,000 through an individual’s personal PayPal account rather than a corporate payment rail, Polymarket could face payment-platform scrutiny, advertiser divestment, reduced liquidity from cautious counterparties, and heightened legal exposure over campaign-marketing disclosures Discernment: The claim alleges a specific amount ($350,000) and a specific mechanism (personal PayPal account) but provides no named influencer handles, no transaction IDs, no dates, and no invoice or contract records in the input. Without receipts such as PayPal transaction numbers, settlement timestamps, wallet addresses, or corroborating statements from both Polymarket and the influencers, the evidence base for Polymarket’s growth or decay remains indeterminate Reasoning: Reputational harm typically scales with whether the payments can be verified, whether the payments violate platform policies or disclosure rules, and whether regulators identify intent or control by Polymarket versus independent behavior by third parties. Here, the absence of verifiable details in the claim prevents confirmation of who initiated the payments, whether Polymarket authorized them, and whether disclosures were made Judgement: Based on the reported $350,000 figure and the alleged use of a personal PayPal account, the likely directional impact is negative for Polymarket’s growth in the short term, contingent on verification. If corroborated with timestamped PayPal records and internal authorization evidence, the downside pressure would be high; if not corroborated, the event’s impact would likely be limited to transient reputational noise

  Ramp just raised $750M at a $44B valuation, which is roughly 44x their current revenue. I'm impressed by the level of conviction Ramp has been able to instill in the investors that have poured roughly $3B into the company since 2019, including, most recently, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Personally, I'm not sure I get it. I admire Ramp. It's a super smart company that has a genuinely strong handle on AI and is growing and shipping product extremely fast, but $44B? That's more than PayPal, which currently has a market cap of $38B on $32B in revenue. "Fine," you might say. "PayPal is an absolute mess. Ramp should be worth more than it." OK, what about Fifth Third? It has almost $300B in assets and generated $9B in revenue last year (good for $2.5B in profit). Its market cap is currently the same as Ramp's valuation. "Yes," you acknowledge. "Fifth Third is a better-run company than PayPal, but it's a bank. It's slow. Looking forward, its growth trajectory is very modest. Ramp's growth potential makes it a much better bet." So, what about Affirm? Affirm is just as smart as Ramp. It has just as strong a handle on AI as Ramp. It's profitable and on track to generate more than $4B in revenue this year, which would be a 33% increase year-over-year. Affirm's market cap is currently $22B, half of what Ramp was just valued at. That just doesn't seem correct. Something is being mispriced and my hunch is that it's Ramp. But we won't know that until it goes public, if it ever does.

  @johannesmkx White people are not "the new jews", and we are not a rootless people. This is the fundamental problem which separates your world view from the rest of us. In your pursuit of aimless hyper-intellectualism you yourself have become judaized, even in this holy struggle for the survival of our people you could not resist but find a way to profit financially from it. $7/mo subscription fee, linktree with paypal, buymecoffee, and crypto donations. No surprise that you project your own jewish characteristics on to the race as a whole.

  Silicon Salvage (@SiliconSalvage) reported 39 minutes ago

  PayPal is being priced as a melting ice cube. The capital return says otherwise. The setup: $5.23B of net income against a $36.5B market cap. That’s a 14.3% earnings yield — roughly triple a 10-year Treasury, on a $33B - revenue payments network, not a distressed cyclical. What the multiple implies: at 7.8x earnings versus ~20x for the index, the market is underwriting structural, terminal decline — flat-to-negative growth in perpetuity. That is the bet embedded in $PYPL today, whether or not anyone says it out loud. What management is actually doing: $6.05B of buybacks last year — equal to 16.6% of the entire market cap repurchased in a single fiscal year, funded entirely from operating cash flow, not leverage. At a depressed multiple, every dollar retired compounds per-share value faster than it would at any point in the last decade. The asymmetry: you’re being paid a double-digit earnings yield to wait, while the share count shrinks underneath you. Down 48% from the high, consensus has stopped paying attention. Re-rating is optional. The buyback isn’t. The first is upside; the second is the floor.

  @AsianDawn4 Even if there was maximum damage, you're talking about 13% of the US population. The damage wouldn't be impactful as Asians are flushed with cash. Plus there are videos of these chicks trying to find and shame patrons of the business. Problem with that is, there is a monopoly over things like nail salons, and there's little choice selection. The business choice selection thing has a time decay. I see people starting to go for Bud Light again, they're using Paypal again.

  Saint John: Evernode 1:1 Freedom (@AverageJohnEVR) reported 48 minutes ago

  The utility of bitcoin has always, to me, been to force the governments of the world to give the humanity what they deserve, self-sovereignty. Bitcoin cured many ills in the world by bringing us all together and giving us all a clear view of how the traditional banking tyrannists are abusing media and other platforms to brainwash the population into accepting that they have no place to store their productivity for future needs. Bitcoin broke us free from traditional finance slavery, no more do we have to put in 10 times more value than we get back, no more are we forced to get down on our knees and beg our bankers to let us use our own money, no more are we locked to monetary policies inflating our savings away, no more do we need to worry about reversed transactions… And trust me, reversed transactions were one of the biggest reasons bitcoin grew big in the first place. Once upon a time we were making business with each other through paypal and skrill, and it was not an uncommon thing to get our funds frozen and stolen. It was not an uncommon thing to get screwed over by creditcard hijackers and other conartists. Bitcoin saved us from this aswell. But it hasn’t been easy… Today we have valuable assets on blockchains. But it was a bloody battle to reach this point. Me and my friends used to count how many fiat bank accounts we were frozen at. We used to count how many (faulty) police filings for money laundering we had against us… The onboarding of retail during the bitcoincore days were a challenge, we hung out on irc and we educated each other on lanparties… We counted heads, every single new face was a reason to celebrate, and the statistics of the bitcointalk forums were closely followed. I am one of few that managed to stay out of trouble, I almost got sent to jail for money laundering but I prevailed my case. A couple of friends have died along the way and a few others have fled to europe. It truly hasn’t been easy. Today, everything we bled for is being sucked up by scamcoins and VCs… The cryptocurrency industry is solely being used to fundraise venture capitalists and other scammers. Most of the new coins we see are indirectly created by VCs, they are followed by a fancy website and a big exchange listing that generates a pump and a VC dump. After that, all the people that bought the pump are forced to slave and promote their shitcoin to their friends and family, and the only winners are the VC’s. VC’s are here to eat our pie, they always leave with more money than they join in with. So do scammers and meme coiners. The last remaining thing I will do before I die or before I vanish into the shadows is to bless the world with decentralized hosting. I welcome you all to be a part of that, if you still believe in the fundamentals of crypto -Empowering humanity. Evernode is the name of the last project we will ever see in our lifetimes where retail can buy in at the bottom and enjoy the ride for an eternity. It has a low supply in combination with a low price, in combination with a low inflation rate, in combination with predictable halvings. The magic of this project is that it is actually useful, it actually solves things, it actually is valuable, and best of all it is based on a clean capitalistic free market where the invisible hand solves all the obstacles. The network consist of nodes, and each node operator is getting rewarded in EVRs. To get rewarded they have to offer a certain amount of computing power (minimum 4 vcpu, 8gb ram and like 250 gb ssd). The reward exist to incentivize node operators to run the network. But it’s not just about running a network, it’s much more. Each node have ”instances”, and these instances can be rented by network users. When you rent an instance you can use it for whatever you need it for. You can run a website, you can run a bitcoin RPC, you can create a decentralized application for whatever you want, or simply use it to execute orders based on inputs. Example of decentralized hosting: If I want to run a decentralized website that nobody would ever be able to take down, I would host my website on evernode and combine it with a nomadic smart contract and a dynamic DNS. This would mean that my website is moving from node to node, forever, of course until I or random donators stop paying evr for it. While moving from node to node, I make sure the website sends a signal to a dynamicDNS provider, that way I can keep pointing my A record for my domain.tld to the newest node. Of course, I could also just boot up the website on multiple nodes and use a round robin approach, but never the less, since I can decide what countries and what nodes to run my website on, it’s untouchable. The value of this network is incredible, and we will need it to fight the risk of centralized exchanges getting a pure ********** over the markets, this is where the smart contracts get in. Evernode smart contracts: The network got thousands of nodes, if you rent 5 nodes that are independent of eachother, and you force these nodes to shake hand before they execute an order… Then that gives us smart contracts for everything, and the order can be executed based on anything. On evernode instances you can install bitcoin nodes, and you can then send a bitcoin transaction when your instances shake hand about something. What they shake hand about is up to you or the developer to decide. It could be based on the temperature today or based on a webshop sending a payment call. The key here is that we get automated bitcoin transactions on our own terms! Sophisticated programmability for bitcoin has been solved this way. We can create our own decentralized bitcoin exchanges with this methodology. We can price match peer to peer traders with eachother directly on a trading platform, we can even use cexes and price match to cexes and other on/off ramps. This way we can manage to battle the centralized exchange control over our funds (It’s getting really bad and really concentrated, this is a serious problem.)

  You may have heard the story last month that Pope Leo’s bank hung up on him, mistaking him for a prank caller. Today there was no such problem. At the Vatican, Treasurer Frerichs personally presented Pope Leo with an $8.65 I-Cash claim, the proceeds of an abandoned PayPal account he left behind in Illinois. "I am happy to send $8.65 to the world's most famous White Sox fan" Frerichs said.

  How do strangers, agents, communities, or businesses create spendable obligations between each other without needing a bank, card network, PayPal, Stripe, or centralized balance sheet to decide who is allowed to issue value and who must accept it?
