  @CopperAmerican Most flee with cash and now load in accounts like Netspend/Cash App/PayPal at any Walmart. While reloadable Prepaid cards have banks attached, many others sold in stores can be purchased by anyone . It's a error filled policy idea. Money orders too.

  Josh peck compares the difference between making money as an actor and an influencer “When I was 15 years old and started making money on Drake and Josh, I was like this gives me a lot of power and it gave me a lot of security and I was like I will do everything in my power to provide for the rest of my life” “ it was a terrible feeling as a little kid, I saw my mom struggle but I couldn’t do anything” “but when I started social media it was the first time that I was like able to do a job and work at something and make money pretty instantaneously” “In 2014, I had gotten really big on VINE, I was the number 1 person on vine and I remember it was July of 2014, I got the brand deal with this darting company called BADOO and they were like we will give you $5000 to make a VINE they were like we will PayPal you” “They were in Europe I was like they will probably not turn out, and I said worst case scenario I spend an hour making this video and they don’t send me the money and I will take it down, then it hit then within that month I made like $20,000”

  @PayPal I am told I cannot use PayPal anymore because of an activity in my account that is against the policy. But then, since I created the account I have not used it, neither have I link any card to it. So, what could be the problem and how can this be resolved? @AskPayPal

  @dimpledormlover I think there must be an error in the shop. A few days ago paypal wasn’t working and today I tried again and the shipping costs to Austria were three times higher. Instead of 80$ (a few days ago) they’re now nearly 300$ for the same 11 preorder items 🧐

  11. Passkeys the password replacement hiding in Safari. When you create an account on a website that supports Passkeys, Safari offers to create a Passkey instead of a password. A Passkey is a cryptographic credential stored in your iCloud Keychain synced across all your Apple devices. You authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. No password to remember. No password to type. No password to steal. Passkeys can't be phished. There's nothing to enter on a fake website. The authentication is biometric and device-bound. Websites supporting Passkeys include: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, eBay, Best Buy, Kayak, and hundreds more with the list growing monthly. Settings → Passwords → check your saved accounts. For any site that supports Passkeys, Safari prompts you to upgrade during your next login. One Face ID scan replaces every password on every supporting site. Safari manages it automatically. No password manager subscription needed.

  Chrome extension "Cashback Master" went 40K → 100K users in 5 weeks. +150%. Buyhatke, same niche: 900K → 1M. Same window, the giant sprang a leak — Honey (PayPal): 13M → 12M. Down a million. Users leaking from the top are getting caught, cup by cup, by the small tools below. When the biggest player in a niche starts slipping: entry signal, or red flag?

  About Me I am making this my permanent pinned post as i am tired of answering the same questions over and over again from stupid losers! I am 45 yrs old, and i am from Kent in England, i have a chronic illness, but i show up every day for my page and realm. I mostly sell content such as pics, videos and voice notes for feet, arse, boobs and armpits, mother to good pups & also sell physical items such as worn *******, socks and trainers. I do NOT do live cam work, video or voice calls so don't ask. No i will not send you any type of verification video, i had to upload my Government Issued ID for my Throne, Youpay and Loyal Fans accounts I am as real as it gets, i rarely do my hair and make up as i dont sit around waiting for you losers to msg so if i have done my hair and make up show some appreciation in cash. I do NOT answer dm's that start with "hi" or "hey beautiful" or anything else other than "Sent my Queen" with my £25 tribute attached, no i don't care if you are "buying content" my tribute is non negotiable if you dont want to pay tribute or cant afford it then stay out my dm's i don't need your dusty *** $5 disrespect! I have fully updated my Throne with different sections and levels of cash amounts and physical gifts for all budgets from a £15 coffee send to a new iphone so there is no excuse. No i do not accept gift cards from new senders they are reserved for loyal senders who have sent at least £1000 in the past. All ATM's, Wallets, Silent senders and Paypigs are welcome to gift and run if they wish, please note i will NOT now or ever pay any fees of any type for anything go scam someone else. There will be a full menu and price list available in the near future of what i offer this will be posted and added to my highlights feel free to download and keep it for future reference. All my payment methods are available in the linktree in my bio, these are the only methods i accept, Cashapp, Apple pay, Venmo and Chime are not available in the UK please do not ask for Paypal it is a sore subject right now i am trying to fix it! I do not accept any type of crypto so stop asking. All msgs stay in X dm's until i feel comfortable with you so no i will not go to snapchat, telegram or anywhere else, you will get blocked. If i block you for any reason then you are gone permanently, there is no unblock fee because there is no coming back i dont tolerate disrespect for any amount of money no matter who you are.

  The $33 trillion asterisk Nobody fact-checks a bullish headline. A few months ago I wrote that stablecoins had surpassed ACH in monthly settlement volume, and the line did exactly what lines like that do - it traveled. It is also true, which is the dangerous part. True statements with a narrow frame are how entire markets talk themselves into conclusions the data doesn't support. So consider this essay the correction I owe my own chart. The annual picture Zoom out from one good month to the full year and the picture rearranges itself. On an annual basis for 2025, stablecoins settled roughly $33 trillion. ACH settled $89 trillion. SEPA, by my full-year projection built on available ECB data and historical growth trends, reached about $259 trillion - a figure so large it makes the rest of the chart look like rounding error. This is the trouble with absorbed narratives. The monthly comparison was real, but it captured a moment, not a structure. Structurally, the plumbing of the developed world still runs through bank rails that most crypto commentary has never bothered to size. SEPA alone moves nearly eight times what all stablecoins combined moved last year. You cannot claim to be replacing a system you are still an order of magnitude away from matching. What the $33 trillion actually is The honest cut goes deeper. That $33 trillion headline number is settlement volume - every transfer that touched a chain, including exchange flows, market-making, arbitrage loops, and the same dollar bouncing between wallets five times before lunch. Strip that out and ask a narrower question: how much of this is actual payments, someone paying someone for something? The answer hovers around $250 billion. Not trillion. Billion. Against ACH or SEPA, that is not a competitor, it is a rounding error on a rounding error. It is also, and this matters, exactly what an early-stage payment system looks like. Card networks in their first decade were a curiosity too. The gap between headline volume and organic payment volume is not a scandal - it is a measure of how young this market still is, and anyone quoting the big number without the small one is selling you something. Where the comparison flips None of this means the bearish frame wins. Run the comparison against the systems stablecoins most resemble - consumer and commercial payment networks rather than interbank plumbing - and the result is startling. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and PayPal together settled about $30.5 trillion in 2025. Stablecoins did $33 trillion. Four decades of card network infrastructure, hundreds of millions of terminals, the most entrenched consumer habits in finance - and a technology that barely existed ten years ago now moves more value annually than all of them combined. Yes, the volume is a different kind of volume. But the rails are real, the settlement is final, and the growth curve has not flattened once. The long game So both things are true at once, and the discipline is holding them together. Stablecoins lag ACH and SEPA by multiples on annual volume, and their organic payment activity is still in its infancy. Stablecoins also already out-settle the entire card network complex, on infrastructure that gets cheaper and faster every year while bank rails get committee meetings. Growth compounds quietly and then all at once. The monthly ACH crossover that started this essay was not the finish line I framed it as - it was an early data point on a curve that keeps bending the same direction. The future of stablecoins is not a prediction anymore. It is a volume chart, updating year after year, and the only real question left is how long the asterisks stay attached.

  @DrewPavlou He's totally right.... Musk employs 150,000 people at an average salary of $125k. He made 4,400 new employee-millionaires with his SpaceX IPO. We could have avoided all of that if we had just had taken all his PayPal money away and plunked it all down on the EBT cards of the Somalis.

  Stripe + Block + Paypal (SBP) is a HUGE problem for Visa and Mastercard (V+M) because suddenly zillions of dollars of xactions become local only to SBP and off V+M networks (and pocketbooks). V, M or both must find something ginormous (now or potential) to buy... (e.g. what I'm building $-))

  A customer told us they couldn't pay an invoice yesterday. The account looked fine and the invoice was marked sent, so this would've been easy to chalk up to user error. Exa opened the actual customer portal. The invoice was there with Print and Download buttons… and no way to pay. Then it pulled a previous paid invoice from the same account and compared the payment options. The older one had PayPal, Stripe, and Zoho Payments attached. The new one had an empty gateway list. They never reached checkout because the invoice didn't offer one. We stopped there and routed the exact fix back for approval: attach the existing gateways and resend the corrected link. No test charge, no “try again” email, no guessing. I would've probably sent them a fresh copy of the same broken link. Seeing the portal exactly as the customer saw it changed the whole diagnosis.

  That night, he sat at his laptop and looked at his PayPal account as if for the first time. Two-factor authentication was on. The mystery $2.49 subscription was cancelled and disputed. The unauthorized login session was terminated. His old bank accounts were removed. His data was no longer being shared with advertisers. His primary payment method was now a credit card with fraud protection. And he finally understood the one rule that would've saved him $180 never pay a stranger with Friends and Family. Same PayPal account. Same platform he'd used since college. But for 9 years, he'd been running the financial equivalent of an unlocked house with the windows open. PayPal is one of the most powerful payment tools on the planet. But it's also one of the most abused not because the platform is unsafe, but because 90% of users never open Settings, never audit their automatic payments, and never learn the one rule that separates a protected transaction from an unrecoverable loss. 9 settings. 12 minutes. And an account that finally works for you instead of against you. Save this thread. Share it with someone who hasn't opened their PayPal Settings since the day they signed up.
