  @CalvinMcgettig1 @jimiuorio Yeah - Hughesnet. DSL speeds at high cost. Woohoo. Tesla - MUSK created the company. Oddly, out of money he made from selling Paypal. Musk didn't create rockets - he made them reusable, which NASA, ULA and Boeing didn't bother thinking about. Brought cost of satellites to orbit down by an order of magnitude. Your other points? Wait - there aren't any, just blather.

  This is going to sound counterintuitive: But I genuinely believe going broke twice was the best thing that happened to my ecom career. Not in a motivational way but in a specific operational way. The first time I went broke I learned that you never operate without backup processors. Because I watched my only processor lock up $30k with zero warning and had to wait 120 days to get it back. That $30k was everything I had. That lesson is now permanently embedded in how I run both brands. The second time I learned that you can't trust suppliers blindly. Mine stopped communicating, started cutting corners, quality dropped, chargebacks spiked, and it cascaded into losing PayPal and Shopify Payments within a week of each other. Now I have quality control processes, backup suppliers, and I've physically visited our factory in China. I also learned that legal threats can come out of nowhere and end your brand overnight if you're not prepared. A large corporation filed a cease and desist and I couldn't afford lawyers to fight it. Didn't matter if the claim was fair or not. Without money to defend yourself, you lose by default. Now I have legal on standby. Every one of these scars is now a system in my business. Backup processors aren't a nice to have, they're because I know what happens without them. Supplier oversight isn't paranoia, it's because I've seen what happens when you trust blindly. Legal preparation isn't overcautious, it's because I've lost a brand to a letter I couldn't fight. People who've only experienced success are actually at a disadvantage at scale because they haven't been stress-tested. They don't know what breaks because nothing has broken yet. The first time something goes wrong at $500k/mo or $1M/mo, they have no scar tissue to draw from. No instinctive response built from experience. I know exactly what to do when a processor freezes because I've lived through it twice. I know exactly what to do when a supplier starts slipping because I've watched it destroy a brand. That pattern recognition can't be taught in a course. You either lived it or you didn't. What's the most expensive lesson you've learned so far? Because whatever it is, it's probably your biggest competitive advantage right now.

  @oeoeoeoeoe_ @NobodyCaresEvr @NYCMayor Wrong again! His father had stakes in a mine, he didn’t own it. He got his money by selling PayPal and then mad incredibly risky loans to keep SpaceX afloat when it almost went bankrupt. Tone down your envy, it’s a bad color on you.

  When Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, he funded the company almost entirely with the roughly $100 million he made from the sale of PayPal. At the time, the aerospace industry was dominated by massive, government-backed contractors, and building rockets from scratch with a small private team was considered practically impossible. SpaceX’s first vehicle was the Falcon 1, a small, liquid-fueled rocket. But learning how to reach orbit with live ammunition proved brutal: Flight 1 (March 2006): Failed 34 seconds after liftoff due to a fuel line leak and fire. Flight 2 (March 2007): Reached space, but failed to achieve orbit when the second-stage engine shut down early due to fuel sloshing. Flight 3 (August 2008): Failed right at stage separation. The first stage unexpectedly thrust forward and collided with the second stage, destroying the rocket and the payload. The Financial Cliff By the fall of 2008, the situation was dire. The 2008 global financial crisis had frozen investment markets, and both of Musk's major ventures—SpaceX and Tesla—were bleeding cash and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Musk had originally budgeted enough personal money for three launches. After the third failure, he managed to scrape together just enough remaining capital and spare parts to assemble one last rocket. He later noted that he had to decide whether to let one company die to save the other, or risk his last remaining funds to try and save both. He rolled the dice on a fourth launch. If it failed, SpaceX was dead. Flight 4: The Last Chance Operating under massive pressure, the SpaceX team diagnosed the timing error that doomed Flight 3, built a new rocket largely from existing hardware, and flew it via military transport to their remote launch site on Omelek Island in the Pacific. Because they couldn't afford the liability or the delay of finding a paying customer, the payload was just a dummy mass—a block of aluminum weighing about 165 kg (364 lb). On September 28, 2008, Falcon 1 Flight 4 lifted off. This time, everything worked perfectly. The vehicle reached its target altitude and coasted into orbit, making history as the first privately developed, fully liquid-fueled rocket to reach Earth orbit. But SpaceX was still broke. During Christmas 2008, Santa awarded SpaceX a $ 1.6 billion contract to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. Where were all the Elon Musk haters (Pocahontas et al.) in 2008, when Elon risked both his companies to give SpaceX just one more try? If anything had gone wrong, Tesla, SpaceX and Musk would have been doomed. Friday, June 12, 2026—SpaceX officially went public in what is now the largest initial public offering (IPO) of all time. Well done, Musk et al., well done indeed. Enjoy your money.

  @Vykosa_AD @SerasReborn Deflection. The dispute led Paypal to terminating the account. If he makes a new one, they have his information logged so the new account could potentially get flagged and terminated too. You got an artist’s paypal account taken down and now ur trying to change the narrative.

  One of the most common mistakes in discussions about stablecoins is focusing on the technology before understanding the problem that it is trying to solve. For all the advances in technology over the past several decades, moving money across borders remains surprisingly inefficient. International payments often rely on multiple intermediaries, settlement can take several days, fees can be significant, transparency is limited, and access depends on banking infrastructure that was designed long before the internet became the foundation of global commerce (this was exactly how I discovered USDT myself 😎 ). This issue is noticeable compared to how information moves today, almost instantly and globally with very little friction. Money, however, still largely depends on systems built around banks, correspondent banking relationships, business hours and jurisdictional boundaries. Stablecoins emerged as an attempt to address this gap by combining the stability of traditional currencies with a digital infrastructure that allows value to move more efficiently. And they are not trying to replace existing currencies. The most successful stablecoins are denominated in the same currencies that already dominate the global financial system, primarily U.S. dollar and Euro. Their value is not in creating a new unit of account, but in creating a different way for that unit of account to move through the digital economy with low fees, global coverage and instant execution. This distinction helps explain why stablecoins have succeeded where many other blockchain applications did not achieve meaningful adoption. Rather than asking users to accept an entirely new monetary system, stablecoins allow them to continue using familiar currencies while benefiting from a different settlement infrastructure. Stablecoin transaction volumes have grown rapidly. According to Visa's on-chain analytics, stablecoins processed more than $24.4 trillion in transaction volume since 2019. The total stablecoin marketcap has also grown to more than $160 billion, while major issuers such as @tether and @circle now serve tens of millions of users globally. Business adoption continues to increase, and nearly every major financial institution, including J.P. Morgan, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc, is now exploring or actively developing stablecoin-related initiatives. Stablecoins are often discussed as a separate category within digital assets, while in reality they are the first successful example of tokenization at scale. For major ones, like USDT and USDC, every token represents a claim on an underlying asset held outside the blockchain. In other words, stablecoins demonstrated that tokenized representations of real-world assets could attract users, liquidity and global adoption. But the whole tokenization ecosystem is much broader than stablecoins, as we will see in the next parts of this series.

  @o_b_z_d_n @RaifYtinav @SwannMarcus89 He didn't have the capital, either. His first business was just him coding in an office where he lived with his bro, because they couldn't afford an apartment AND an office. Software coding genuinely generates value out of thin air. It's 100% a product of the mind. After he sold that business, he coded what later became PayPal. Then he sold that, and half of the proceeds went to starting Tesla and the other half went to SpaceX. If your goal is to become rich, you absolutely don't try to start a new car company or rocket company. At inception he figured those companies had a 10% chance of succeeding. He is actually pretty damned smart. He understands exactly what his engineers are doing and actively participates in their day-to-day troubleshooting and innovation. He hires other people to run the business. But the secret of his success is that he's a honey badger: relentless, fearless, never gives up. He's got an Aspie-level obsession with his projects. And his mind races constantly with problem/solution pairs. He's a hot mess in some ways, but he didn't get where he is through cheating, manipulation, and favoritism. He really did build that. I'm afraid that an attitude of "must be NICE to get $38B in gubmint contracts" is diagnostic for some forms of narcissism. It's unbecoming, a bad look.

  $ADBE is where $PYPL has been for years now, a cash generating juggernaut that, nonetheless, gets hammered into the ground, due to market perception that it has no moat, and won't be viable in the long run... This stock has always scared me just looking at it's Volume Profile Ranges, very thin support until it get's into the $100 range, which is where it could likely be headed............ Losing $250 at the Ascending Blue 2/1 Gann Fan Angle was significant, Longs were making a stand there, and I think that's where Michael Burry bought as well, if it could've recovered there, it would've likely hit $400 next, then the perfect storm of high jobs/inflation numbers, Iran War flaring up again, and SpaceX IPO sucking out all the liquidity in the Market killed off high Multiple SAAS stocks again, and all that was *BEFORE* Adobe earnings announced it's CFO was leaving.... Maybe the market was over-reacting following earnings, especially with how good the numbers actually were, who knows, if it can regain the $205 level on Monday, at it's 12-24-2018 daily low, perhaps the stock can experience an epic Dead Cat Bounce back to re-test $250. If it loses $205 though, $175 at the Ascending 3/1 Gann Fan Angle is next. My Bearish case scenario, is this sucker hits $75 at the bottom of it's Ascending Gann Fan Structure, where my finger Icon is pointing, it'll be similar to what happened with Paypal, the Short sellers are looking to break the stock below the Gann Fan bottom support, to trade significantly lower.... How much lower, you say....well, Strong Volume Support doesn't begin till Adobe hits $45, down to $30. Which seems impossible, but, gotta fund the Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs somehow, right?

  @beffybadbelly You can be mad at him for how he chooses to spend his money. I have no problems with that. I'd sign the giving pledge if I was in his shoes. But vilifying someone who's changed the world just because he was successful isn't logical. Millenia of economic theory and case proves we have the right incentive structure for growth. Without him, you wouldn't have paypal, electric cars, space internet, blind people seeing, no traffic in Vegas tunnels, and myriad other things. I'm OK he's a trillionaire.

  @NekoyukiOsuneko @vevans0009 @KatieDragonArt my issue was that i couldnt be able to do it because of the fact that i was going to end up homeless if i didnt get the funds i needed for the day coming up (15th of every month) and that was why. i was already behind on rent as it was. i shouldnt discuss this publicly, but for this. listen. yukiko. my problem wasnt with him it was how he went about it. he didnt even try to talk to me after i sent those messages. he blocked me and removed me instead of speaking to me. when you go and report it to paypal and get the refund through paypal im completely obligated BY paypal to do the commissioned work. because he went to a refund without both parties agreeing, i ended up suffereing the issues from it. not only did they slander me through the server and got me removed because of that. but they also went and started spreading misinformation and going public with it. i did not go public or disclose who the commission belong to much less the client. and yet they went the extra mile. paypal even told me after being on calls with paypal 5 times, to do the piece regardless of what the client thinks "because the client started the refund process you are expected to do the commission. it doesnt matter if they client doesnt want it. thats called buyers remorse. you have the oppertunity to provide the piece and that only matters to us paypal. they spent the money and they cant just refund or tell you not to do the piece. thats not how it works." and then the situation got worse because they didnt want to work with me. i didnt go around slinging insults at them or calling them names or ruining their name through my community or anywhere publicly. it shows more integrity than they have to not go and stoop that low. they used what i told them privately agianst me. and thats not even close to fair for me, then went and slandered me publicly everywhere? im sorry. they got their refund, i still ended up doing the piece regardless in hopes i wouldnt get doc't my pay. and i still lost the case. it longer belongs to them since they didnt pay for it.
