  Brother… you’re melting down on the timeline over a declined payment.Nobody “begged” you for anything your bank flagged your own transaction, we offered solutions, you blocked every number, and now you’re performing tough-guy karaoke on X.If you’re going to talk like a villain, at least make sure the screenshots don’t show you panicking over Apple Pay, PayPal, CashApp, and a card decline in the same hour.I run a company. You ran from a conversation.Stay safe out there, keyboard warrior.

  This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  @ScratchycClark Not me, I'm technically challenged. Everything has to be so many steps. So complicated, sign up for an account. Sign in with Google or FB or Paypal. It's neverending

  Peter Thiel is worth over $20 billion and he tells students that competition is for losers. He earned the right to say it. In 2004 he wrote a $500,000 check to a 19-year-old for 10.2% of Facebook - the first outside money that company ever took. He sold most of it for over a billion. Before that he cofounded PayPal, before that he was a failed Supreme Court clerkship candidate who quit corporate law after seven months. His argument in this lecture is one line long. All happy companies are different because each earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All failed companies are the same - they failed to escape competition. Google makes about 30% margins. Airlines fight each other into the ground. Perfect competition is a synonym for zero profit. He wants you to build something nobody can copy.

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  For those wondering, TPV for Paypal is broken into Branded Checkouts (The money maker) which includes paypal checkout, venmo for merchants. They also call out P2P (sending money to a friend) which does not make a lot of money. Issue is Venmo does a bit of both. Knowing Venmo TPV won't tell you how much of Venmo TPV is for merchants vs P2P. They do say vague stuff like 45% of growth is from Venmo merchants. That does not help triangulate the figures

  Breaking down TPV for $PYPL is an absolute headache. It looks like management is going to a lot of extent to bury the TPV for Paypal branded checkout in their filings. Absolutely not needed but I guess they are trying real hard to bury a declining business.

  Dogecoin has always had something most tokens spend years trying to buy, actual cultural distribution. Everyone knows the name, that was never the problem. The problem was always the same one @RobinhoodCrypto is solving from the other direction. Distribution without real infrastructure underneath it just sits there. House of Doge just partnered with Paxos to plug DOGE into the rails already running PayPal, Venmo, and Interactive Brokers. That’s hundreds of millions of existing users one integration away from being able to actually use it, not just recognize it. Distribution has always been the hard problem in crypto. DOGE solved that part a decade ago by accident. Whether the infrastructure catches up is the more interesting question now, same one we’re watching everywhere else.

  🚨STRIPE’S ENDGAME: BUY $PYPL , OWN THE TRANSACTION LAYER $PYPL is an M&A probability curve. Stripe and Advent started at $60.50. PayPal said no. The stock moved to the bid. Now the only number that can fix this is the clearing price. My range is $65–72. Because $75+ requires Stripe to decide the strategic value of PayPal exceeds the regulatory and integration tax. Stripe owns the merchant infrastructure. $PYPL owns consumer distribution. Venmo gives Stripe the consumer network it never built. OpenRouter gives Stripe a toll road into AI commerce. Put it together and Stripe is positioning itself between the consumer, merchant, money movement and increasingly the AI agent initiating the transaction. That is the bull case. The bear case is equally simple. You are combining two enormous payments networks, inviting regulators into the room, spending $50B+ to do it and then asking two very different organizations to operate as one economic machine. So I wouldn't underwrite $PYPL here as a turnaround. If deal dies, $PYPL will price lower. If deal clears around $65–72, the shareholders monetize the control premium. If Stripe decides that PayPal is strategically irreplaceable, then we see $75+ becoming possible. For Stripe, the bigger question is quietly assembling the financial operating system for the next internet. Payments were layer one. Consumer distribution is layer two. AI agents may be layer three. $PYPL is the expensive bridge between them.

  I took my first real vacation after 2 years as an indie hacker. And somehow my vacation turned into a full-time job of filing complaints and chasing refunds: • Delayed + damaged luggage • A liveaboard trip in Egypt that turned into a complete disaster (will share soon) • Paypal disputes that keep getting closed by bots • Customer support bots that refuse to let me talk to a human • Hours spent explaining the same problems over and over The worst part isn’t even the money. It’s the energy this takes away from building my business. Some people would tell me to just give up and move on. but it’s a significant amount of money, and more importantly, it’s mine. I don’t think customers should have to accept terrible service just because companies make it exhausting to complain. Sometimes you have to fight for what’s yours. Now working late trying to sort everything out and keep my apps running. At least I got a brand new villa in Bali and yesterday my new landlady brought me the best nasi goreng

  @thecanozer The payment access part is underrated. Getting Stripe + PayPal solves the first problem, but as the business grows I'd still avoid making either one the only payment rail. Access is step one, redundancy comes next.
