  The business model is pure picks and shovels. Morgan Stanley doesn't need to issue a stablecoin, hold crypto, or build a blockchain. They just need Circle, Tether, PayPal, and every new entrant to park their reserves in MSNXX. Management fees on $304B+ is the play.

  weekend thread: a brief history of the otp. 1980s, no otp. you're getting a callback from the bank. 2002, paypal mails you a paper check with two cent values to verify your account. yes really. 2007, sms otp shows up in banking. people complain it's slow. 2011, google introduces the authenticator app. nobody uses it for years. 2018, sms otp officially deemed insecure by NIST. used by everyone anyway. 2023, push otps overtake sms in some categories. sms still wins on coverage. 2026, half the apps reading this still use 4 digit codes that arrive 30 seconds late. we're not really an industry, we're a soap opera with carriers.

  @lex_node @_BT_BT_BT_ well paypal does just that in my personal experience after shutting down several of my accounts over years, one with small balance even and demanding unreasonable KYC despite already passing it. several times. who uses paypal?

  @FluentInQuality dude, i used to invest like this. you end up having your capital stuck in slow movers for years. i was stuck in paypal for years doing the same "oh they can buy back the entire company in 8 years...blah blah blah" why not look at stage 2 uptrend stocks? $mu $cohr $nvt $vrt $gev many many more. there's always new leaders carrying the market. if you look at buffett when he ran his private partnership, he was looking at microcaps and also things like GEICO which was a NEW TECHNOLOGY GROWTH company at the time. using new tech (phones) to sell insurance and growing nationally!

  PayPal Disputes You yourself don't even know where the goods are. Customers see: • Tracking number hasn't updated in three days • Estimated 7 days becomes 15 days • Vague customer service replies They won't wait. They'll just open PayPal. The dispute isn't because the goods weren't shipped. It's because "the customer isn't sure if you've run away." The video looks amazing The ad is fantastic The actual product is ordinary. The moment the customer receives the goods: Disappointment = Emotion = Dispute It's not a product problem, it's a failure to manage expectations. Many sellers get 20+ orders a day, but they lack: • Shipping timeliness monitoring • Abnormal package alerts • High-dispute product statistics • High-risk country screening Overflowing orders isn't scary. Overflowing orders + chaotic fulfillment = Account risk.

  Spent the morning wiring up CSV import for Patreon payouts. The Patreon export is weirdly one of the cleanest ones. YouTube's is fine. Twitch's is actually readable. PayPal is the problem child. 30 columns, half of them blank, dates in 3 different formats depending on the transaction type. Every creator tool eventually becomes a PayPal parser with extra steps.

  @AskPayPal There is no option/suggestion regarding temporarily blocked account. Only account limitation related things. My account is not limited. So, limitation is not a problem. It is blocked temporarily and that is the problem. Can you help me?

  AI agents are now cheaper than a burger flipper at McDonald's. An agent running 24/7 costs ~$400/year. A minimum wage worker costs ~$15,000. That's 100x cheaper. And they never clock off. Every major payments company on earth — Google, PayPal, Shopify, Stripe, Coinbase, Visa — built AI agent infrastructure in a 6 month window. This isn't a trend. It's a transition. But here's the problem nobody is talking about: Who are these agents actually working for? Amazon's secret Project Nessie algorithm quietly rigged prices and generated $1B in extra profit. The FTC and 17 states are now suing them. Now imagine that same misalignment running across billions of agents managing your health, finances and education. Open source won't fix this alone. Transparency without accountability doesn't produce the best agents it produces abandoned code with no consequences for failure. The real solution? Competitive evaluation with real economic incentives. That's exactly what Bittensor enables. An open arena where agents compete on measurable outcomes, the scores are public, and the best rise to the top through merit not corporate alignment. Oro is already proving it works. They beat OpenAI on one of the hardest shopping evals in just 3 weeks of being live. This is what aligned AI infrastructure looks like. 👇

  @videotech @notcee_fan What is X even for? Experiment, a unknown mathematical equation value? Didn't PayPal also have X in its name back in a day? My intuitive feeling is that X is more for placebo naming, it's aiming at a bigger picture later down the line.

  Charge back for my vtuber model was submitted not too long ago, and the artist still hasn't replied to the paypal dispute. Not only did they make me wait for any form of a response, but now they're ignoring the paypal dispute even though they legit told me it's ok to do the chargeback (they replied after getting the chargeback notification, summoning them from their 3+ month long of no messages to me) please have some more respect and professionalism for the people that pay you over 500 USD upfront for your work... my trust is long term broken and i now feel paranoid paying large sums of money to artists i dont know :/

  @MailchimpHelp I have a problem. I accidentally added all my 1700 subscribers as a separate list, once I realized what I had done I deleted that second list of the duplicates; that was about 10 minutes. Now I have been charged and money taken out of my PayPal as if I had 3,500 subscribers. I need a refund ASAP for the overage.

  Proud mom Maye Musk on her commitment to protecting her children: “I was fortunate to have three kids who were adventurous and responsible too. Of course, as I say, Elon is just my genius boy. I remember him saying to me after PayPal was out, should he do solar or electric cars or space? And I said, 'Well, just choose one.' Well, obviously, he didn't listen to me. 98% really appreciate what he does, but those 2% that are nasty, they are out there in full force being nasty all the time. And my children have to tie me down and so does my publicist, when something nasty comes out, because I'm ready to fight.”

  The U.S. government is now accepting DONATIONS to help pay down a $39 trillion debt. You can literally send money through PayPal or Venmo. That alone should tell you something. This isn’t about a donation program, it’s about scale. At $1 million a day, it would take 106,849 years to pay it off. Human civilization has only been around about 5,000 years. Now layer in what’s actually happening underneath. Interest on the debt is approaching and exceeding $1 trillion per year, meaning we’re borrowing just to pay interest. The Federal Reserve spent years flooding the system with liquidity, and even after tightening, the system is still dependent on that support. At the same time, a massive portion of American wealth, especially for baby boomers, is ******* in home equity. Tens of trillions sitting in one asset class that depends on stable prices and favorable rates. So here’s the reality. If rates stay high, the cost of servicing debt keeps climbing. If rates fall, it’s likely because something in the economy already broke. If housing weakens, a huge portion of perceived wealth disappears. That’s not one isolated issue. That’s a system where everything is connected and leaning on the same pressure points. Call it what you want, correction, recession, reset. But this idea that everything is fine while the government is asking the public for donations doesn’t match the math.

  @catboyhumper Steam market offers more than csfloat. Technically you could sell on steam, offer to buy people games and have them PayPal or cash app you and you just gift them games or dlc. Might take longer and could be some problems with steam not liking you doing that.

  @whymadoindis @TheJerzWay Bro I'm living in Turkey. Uber works limited not the same app with Europe/USA. Getir, Trendyol, Hepsiburada are equivilent of e-Bay, Amazon etc. I didn't say Turkey doesn't have e-commerce platforms. Paypal is not work in Turkey since 2016 I personally used it. It doesn't matter you liked or not, Paypal, Apple Pay etc. are necessary tool if you want a become finance center. Wise is only available tool to get and send money abroad with cheap fees I am using it. Google Pay and Apple Pay are not working in Turkey, too. Great for families - This part true, crime rates are low. All of the thing I wrote is %100 true, not %99.
