  @MartinSLewis ...make X Y and Z transactions - exact same script as previous (genuine) call - no I did not. "There's also been an attempted login to PayPal, we will send a code to your email, please read it out to us" - hmm, bells, I hung up but on a different day I might have fallen for it.

  @bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.

  @gomipomi I use cashapp and PayPal mainly. So far I haven’t had issues with PayPal but you gotta be careful on what they add to the note. I hear Wise is good ngl, and there are no fees to send to your bank (I think)

  Hey guys! Just had my paypal account get permanently disabled. I have no idea on why or how but they’re keeping all the money i’ve earned from my keychains for up to 180 days. Don’t worry keychains will still be sent out. And any payment problems are now fixed.

  Hello @AskPayPal. My PayPal account was recently permanently limited because it was reportedly linked to another account with unresolved issues. I believe this may relate to an old account I created years ago but never really used. I respectfully request a manual review of my cas
