  this PayPal issue has been happening for years, you're just seeing another wave in the public light. I lost my account back in 2021 and it's been painful ever since. So here's some more options

  I am seeing people freaking out about paypal account bans. As a commissioner of much artwork 3D and 2D for my game development I want to give some advice: Keep your details simple. Don't use terms that could be taken in a NSFW manner. Now mine isn't NSFW, but keep it simple "Character custom 2D art piece ." "3D model fully rigged female character." They aren't physically seeing your art they just see what the payment is for. The less they know the less they can find a problem with.

  a freelancer in Ukraine, Poland, or Nigeria gets a new US client. the client asks: "how do i pay you?" the honest answer, before kast existed, was: "it's complicated." option 1: paypal. the client sends $1,000. paypal takes a percentage. the currency conversion takes another 2-3%. you wait for the funds to clear. total cost: 4-6%, plus the conversion rate risk. option 2: SWIFT wire transfer. the client's bank charges $25-45 to send. your bank charges $10-20 to receive. correspondent banks along the route might take additional cuts. you wait 3-5 business days. total cost: $50-70 plus 2-4 days of uncertainty. option 3: crypto. the client sends USDC. you receive it instantly, with minimal fees. but then: how do you spend it? how do you pay local bills? the off-ramp problem. @KASTxyz changes the answer. you give the client your kast routing number and account number. they pay you via ACH - the standard US domestic payment method that most US companies and freelance platforms use. it arrives in your kast account in USD, same as any US bank account would receive it. no international wire. no SWIFT fees. no correspondent banks taking cuts. ACH is cheap (often free) and fast (1-2 business days for standard ACH, or near-instant for real-time ACH). once the money is in kast: - it earns up to 10% APY through gauntlet vaults while it sits - you spend it with your visa card in 18+ currencies at 150M+ merchants - you can send it to a local bank via global payouts in your local currency - you can pay another freelancer via kast tag with zero fees the routing number is the piece that makes this work. most USD transfer products don't give you a real US routing number - they give you a workaround that requires SWIFT anyway. kast gives you the routing number. that's the product. for anyone invoicing US clients from outside the US, this is the most underrated feature in kast's stack. the earn product and the card are more visible. the routing number is what changes the actual payment workflow. @KASTxyz @Coleta_Cripto

  @falloutyuh Well tbh that’s mostly what I’ve been aware of It also might be the fact PayPal is cracking down on these types of stuff and shutting down accounts for it cause of payment processors not liking anything

  $323 billion in stablecoins is now moving through the global financial system. That number doubled in two years. Almost nobody is paying attention. Tether. Circle. PayPal. BlackRock. Western Union. Visa runs a $4.5 billion annualized stablecoin settlement business. Mastercard and Stripe both run live rails. The GENIUS Act gave them the legal framework last July. CLARITY is closing the rest of the gaps this summer. Every major payments company on earth either issues a stablecoin or settles in one. By 2031, analysts expect stablecoins to handle 10 percent of all US dollar payments. No ticker. No IPO. No earnings call. Just $323 billion quietly rewiring how the dollar moves while everyone debates the next Fed cut. In ten years, when your kids ask why you held crypto through every drawdown, you won't have to say you had insider info. You'll just say you noticed the dollar itself was moving onchain while everyone else was waiting for permission.

  @JedaySkayVoker Oh yea and especially their customer service is terrible I also hate their extremely high fees Unfortunately I don’t have valid alternatives Most clients still prefer paypal and I find it easier and safer to use Especially with the invoice option

  @AustinsStocks Is this a good company with a broken stock, or is it PayPal 2.0?

  Real Takes Daily (@realcincidaily) reported 26 minutes ago

  @investingbyGenZ It’s a niche problem honestly. PayPal giving data doesn’t flow into any CRMs in my industry. Big problems for businesses with with multiple SaaS subscriptions. I still own the stock but these are my concerns seeing daily on front lines

  @holyesmi @slpfiles yeah PayPal is the issue eximbay is just standard card payment you don’t need an account or anything just your card details :)

  @Mephistofleas I think Doom post is still valid because if more and more people spread the word, less people will use Paypal and Paypal doesn't want that. It will encourage them to fix or change it.

  @theRobbyXO hii, i used eximbay rather than paypal (there seems to be a glitch with it), you don’t need to sign up for an account, just put ur card details and the order should go through !

  @HoinLP I get a little bit better your point even if I think it’s still 2 different problems, because if PayPal Visa and ect does have this issues, it can give ideas to all the alternatives and it’s a problem we should focus about our right as consumers too

  @emiihunn_ afaik. theres only issues with NSFW stuff. just dont label them or ask your client not to be specific about that when sending. (if thats what you do) . i do commissions over paypal for years now ,and never had problems. (i guess cuz i never do nsfw)

  @juniortgr cool story bro. We got in the same way. We did not invest in BTC because "number go up"; we got in because it was far cheaper and faster to send funds through BTC than through Paypal, banking, or Western Union. Solve a problem and then make money

  Cashapp doesn’t have the same problems paypal has right? Because that one person getting banned over nsfw comms may carry over to sfw comms, I might have to change things up when I start them again
