Bee♧ (@blond3dBee) reportedCaller (Jake): “I’m 16, and I make around $50,000 to $80,000 a month doing e-commerce. “My mom has no idea. “She’s very traditional, and I’m afraid she’ll shut it down if I tell her.” Dave Ramsey: “You’re making $50,000 a month at 16 years old?” Jake: “Yes, sir. “I run Shopify dropshipping stores, eBay arbitrage, and a bunch of online businesses. “I have a little over $300,000 sitting in a PayPal account because my mom is joint on my bank account.” Dave Ramsey: “So you’ve been doing this for four or five months?” Jake: “About eight months. The first few months were slow, and then it picked up really fast.” Dave Ramsey: “Your mother doesn’t know any of this?” Jake: “No. All the money is in PayPal because she’s joint on my bank account. “I want to tell her, but I know she’ll be very skeptical of what I’m doing. “She’s always told me she wants me to take a traditional path, and I’m worried she’ll put an end to it.”

Nick (@NiiiickMMA) reported@videogamedeals I've always preferred physical out of habit, but back in 2022 my Nintendo account got banned for a PayPal chargeback. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I got unbanned but the 2-3 days I was banned all my digital games were locked. Reinforced how important ownership is.

Frank LaCroix (Frank is my pen name) (@lylemurphy18389) reportedBanks used to be heavyweight investments. Not so much anymore. Look at the last 138 days: XLF (Financials) is now behaving almost like XLU (Utilities) — slow, low-growth, defensive. Meanwhile fintech and crypto keep taking share: • Payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, Chime, X Money…) • Digital banking • DeFi / crypto rails • Even newer players moving into underwriting Traditional banks are losing the energy that used to make them cyclical leaders. Capital and growth are flowing elsewhere. The sector chart makes it pretty clear. Anyone else seeing this shift?

0.1% (@sandy4kad) reportedPeter Thiel stood in front of Stanford students in 2014 and told them competition is for losers. He had already founded PayPal, co-founded Palantir, and backed Facebook. The room was full of people who had spent their entire lives winning competitions. He told them the game itself was the problem. Create X dollars of value for the world. Capture Y percent of X. Those two numbers are independent. Airlines generated $195 billion in U.S. revenue that year. Google did $50 billion. Cumulative profits of the entire U.S. airline industry over a hundred years: roughly zero. Google’s market cap already dwarfed the sector. Perfect competition looks efficient on a chalkboard. In practice it destroys capital. Monopoly looks dangerous on a chalkboard. In practice it compounds for decades. Non-monopolists lie by shrinking the market: “We’re the only British restaurant in Palo Alto.” Monopolists lie by expanding it: “We’re just one advertising company in a $500 billion global market.” The actual move is the opposite of what business school teaches. Start in a market so small it looks worthless. Own it completely. Then expand in concentric circles. PayPal began with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook began with 10,000 Harvard students. Both looked like toys until the circle grew. Most of a technology company’s value lives in cash flows ten to twenty years out. Growth is easy to measure. Durability is what the market actually prices. “All happy companies are different. All unhappy companies are alike because they failed to escape the essential sameness of competition.” The lecture is free on YouTube. The book is $15. Every framework fits on a napkin. Almost every founder on X posts the title while competing in the same crowded category as everyone else. The lecture is free. The willingness to walk past the crowded door and take the empty gate nobody is watching is a much rarer commodity than the advice itself.

. (@DatMLBro) reported@Fosudo The issue isn’t just Nigeria’s reputation. India has its own fraud and financial crime problems, yet PayPal serves them. The difference is leverage: India can push back. Nigeria’s weak institutions often leave us begging for access instead of demanding fair treatment.
