  I just added $PYPL, $NU, $MELI & trimmed some $INTC. PayPal has issues, but the R/R makes no sense for me as a long term investor.

  @HumbleWarrior @JenBartonDesign I've been advised that it's best not to draw attention to their websites. It just gives them publicity, and they're not Bitcoiners like last time. They have no social media either. Found this with AI. I've reported them to PayPal. You never know. They might just do something about it. Hope you get your work taken down from scam sites, too.

  @whitefinya There is inherent uncertainty in payments made through the PayPal platform. While the payment stability in Asia is decent, it could be due to some special circumstances in Europe and America (I have always remitted commissions through personal transfers (Logically speaking, if you don't include any entrustment-related information in the transfer details, there shouldn't be any major issues,

  A sudden payment method change from PayPal to GIMI created unnecessary confusion for many creators facing verification and payout issues. Transparency is important. #YapperScam #Creators

  Alright I’m gonna say this only once. IF YOU COMMISSION ME AND PAY THROUGH PAYPAL, DO NOT PUT ANY IN THE TEXT BOX!!!!! IF WE DISCUSSED IT IN MESSAGES YOU DON’T NEED TO PUT ANYTHING IN THE TEXT BOX ON PAYPAL. SAME GOES FOR ADOPTABLES. I DON’T NEED ANY OF THAT TROUBLE THAT PAYPAL

  @Prominent_Bryan As a Canadian living in America, I much prefer etransfer. I’ve never had a problem with it. I have had problems where business can’t get done because one person only does Venmo and the other only does PayPal. Anecdotal however

  @ExraNiche @AnuragRai2003 I've always had an issue with PayPal. Back when I used to donate for CSL, I started adding my donation money to PayPal so I can transfer it to my brokerage faster. it kept giving me **** for transferring... my own money. To my OWN accounts. The only time it helped was when I couldn't find my brokerage card and I had to buy BTS tickets before the cart expired so besides that one moment, it is genuinely the WORST platform to manage money.

  @AskPayPal Hi, I no longer have access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive the SMS verification code. I still have access to my email and know my password. Could you help me remove the old number or update my login verification method?

  @Haalove1981 This error usually happens due to a compliance or security flag on the transaction. You can wait a few hours and try again (sometimes it’s a temporary security block) then check if your PayPal account has any verification or limits pending, if nothing works then log in again

  Bitcoin Wasn’t Born in a Vacuum People are asking if Bitcoin came from the PayPal mafia, intelligence agencies, or even someone like Jeffrey Epstein. The honest answer is: we’ll probably never know who created Bitcoin and that’s not the most important question anyway. Epstein clearly wasn’t Satoshi. He wasn’t technical. But the emails suggest he was aware of Bitcoin very early and connected to people in the space like Gavin Andresen and Adam Back. He likely knew the kinds of people who could build something like Bitcoin. More broadly, the idea that Bitcoin started as a completely pure, outsider project isn’t really true. Powerful networks, especially people tied to PayPal and early tech finance, were involved early, mining, investing, and experimenting with digital money long before Bitcoin took off. That matters, because those early players may still hold a significant share of the supply today. If Bitcoin becomes a global reserve asset, that concentration could translate into enormous wealth and influence. But it also doesn’t matter in one key way: owning Bitcoin doesn’t give you control over the network. You can’t change the rules, inflate the supply, or censor transactions just because you hold a lot of it. The bigger point is that Bitcoin didn’t emerge in a vacuum. It came out of years of experimentation with digital economies, online currencies, and attempts to build money native to the internet. People like Epstein weren’t necessarily creators but they were connectors, investors, and early observers of this shift. So focusing too much on “who created Bitcoin” misses the real issue. The real question is what Bitcoin becomes. Does it actually deliver on the promise of open, neutral, global money? Or does it get absorbed into the existing financial system used by the same institutions to extend their power, manage riba debt, and reshape the system on new rails? Mark Goodwin:
