  This restriction over on PayPal and Cash-app makes me think it’s a conspiracy to make crypto a viable option where they can’t touch it and you can sell without issue.

  A fourth man, sporting a “Scarface” tee-shirt, asked for money as he flipped the middle finger. “I take Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, all the electronic payments,” he shamelessly yelled to all present. Another dangerous lunatic, some parents nicknamed “Fire Bug,” recently set fires to the benches while the kids practiced, one parent claimed. Since the city opened the $73 million Gansevoort Peninsula in 2023 — a 5.5-acre green oasis with a sports field, beach and boardwalk — homeless people wasted little time turning the park in the swanky neighborhood into their own personal crash pad and washrooms. Encampments were twice torn down last summer, but this year the NYPD told The Post it didn’t respond to incidents there, and there were no 311 complaints about them. But petrified parents and parkgoers said the crew has become even more brazen.

  The double-spend example for money: If I email you a photo, I still have a copy. That’s fine for photos, terrible for money. If I send you $10 digitally and still hold a copy of that $10, I can spend it again with someone else. Traditional fix: A bank sits in the middle. It keeps the master ledger, deducts $10 from me, adds $10 to you. You trust the bank, not me. Bitcoin’s fix: Every transaction is broadcast to thousands of computers, verified, and written into a shared public ledger that everyone holds a copy of. Rewriting it would cost more in electricity than you’d gain, so lying isn’t worth it. Real-world example: Alice sends Bob 1 BTC. The transaction goes out to the whole network, gets confirmed into the blockchain, and now every participant agrees Bob owns it and Alice doesn’t. Alice can’t send that same coin to Carol — the ledger already says otherwise. No bank, no PayPal, no Cash App, no Venmo, one to ask permission from. Bitcoin is money.

  @SuzunaTsukimi Yeah, there have been multiple issues with this, I’m not sure if it’s a Kofi thing or PayPal. It’s always been there on my end but others were unable to see the option for PayPal, it only showed credit/debit card option. It most likely will only show that now.

  NEON RACCOON (COMMS OPEN) (@NTRaccoonART) reported 16 minutes ago

  UPDATE: THIS DUDE DID IT AGAIN. He "pretended" to pay me back the negative balance. Which did cover the issue. Blamed his "mom" then proceeded to DO IT AGAIN. I cannot exactly give money back when it covers a negative balance. He used my donation link. I could very much lose my paypal over this. He paid for the **** he caused me, said his "mommy" wanted to negotiate. This dude claims hes 18. Calls me an AI artist, and asks for the money he robbed me of back. This dude is actually trying to ruin my life. Most malicious thing I have ever dealt with as an artist. Wtf man.

  @Joh08n @PaulGoldEagle Jah, calm down brother. This isn’t the CBDC. This is a distributed digital currency that won’t be controlled against us. It’s coming. Actually, digital currency is already here via cc, ach, PayPal, Venmo, etc. This move will free us from the Fed Reserve controlling the fiat currency

  @HelpAtGeorge Why does it not let me check out online? Tried multiple cards so I know its not the card. Tried paying by card, PayPal and Google pay and all say there's an issue. Same yesterday

  To everyone asking for my PayPal or Cash App: STOP. Every single one of you turns out to be a scammer giving me false hope and vanishing. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of getting my hopes up just to be let down again. My only real donation link is my GoFundMe — it’s pinned and in my bio. No PayPal, no Cash App, nothing else. If you ask, I won’t reply. I just want real kindness, not more tricks. 💔

  @SammyPhox_ Hi! I had the same problem. Wait for PayPal to transfer the money, because if you transfer it "quickly" they charge an exorbitant fee.

  Kmiller (@fade2rt) reported 34 minutes ago

  @annbauerwriter @intrnlcmbstn If you gave them cash would you be concerned about a tax dodge? Really- the tax problem is theirs. Security of your account is your problem. Set up a separate account for PayPal/venmo and only keep a minimal amount in it.

  @MaximiliankotWA Yeah my biggest issue is finances and/or time there. I def need to bring on an editor and get some stuff built up on that end but as it stands with the PayPal stuff halting my freelance work I’ll need to find new income for myself to help cover a large cost of living increase

  the asian sounding woman with kids screaming in the background says she can't fix my issue with my name and that it's the merchant's settings that cause the problem. does anyone else get stuff addressed like "surname, lastname" when checking out with paypal?

  @ima_fly_tok @alexabelonix That's the bigger issue IMO. Switching from PayPal to another giant provider doesn't really remove the dependency, it just changes who you're dependent on. Having more than one payment route makes a lot more sense.

  The Analyst X (@bullmetrics) reported 46 minutes ago

  PayPal is up nearly 50% in six months and still down 78% over five years. So the real question: is this the turnaround, or a bounce in a broken stock? Here's the actual setup: $PYPL sits in the middle of online payments. You check out, they move the money, they take a fee. PayPal and Venmo are both theirs. 🟢 What's driving it: - Buying from a shop you've never heard of? You don't type your card in, you hit the PayPal button — if it goes wrong, they chase it, not you. That trust is the product. - Shops can't remove that button. It turns browsers into buyers, so taking it off costs them sales. - Apple has your wallet but not the shop's checkout. Stripe has the shop but not your wallet. PayPal has both. - They're buying back 10.21% of the company a year — the fastest pace in their history. Fewer shares, bigger slice for investors. 🔴 Why it got this cheap: - On your phone, Apple Pay is already sitting there with your face. PayPal makes you log in. That one extra tap is the whole war. - They've always charged shops a premium for that button, and cheaper options now sit right next to it. - Revenue growth has slowed to low single digits and the profit engine has cooled. What do the pros think? Here it gets uncomfortable: 🔴Avg target: $57.26 — 7% below where it trades today 🚀High: $85.68 — +39% 🔴Low: $36.36 — −41% The verdict: you're not buying growth here, you're buying cash. At $61 you pay $11 for every $1 of profit — Visa and Mastercard cost three times that. The model says $75.36, Wall Street says $57.26, and that gap is the whole trade. The risk is the fee. If Apple and Google keep owning the checkout button, the cash machine slips with it. That's why the Low target sits at $36.36. Bargain or value trap?

  Carey | Building SaaS Boilerplate (@careytob) reported 1 hour ago

  But going back through it, I found something real I could actually fix. My own site's copy said: "Accept payments via Stripe, Square, PayPal, and Paddle - all in one platform." That's not what the software does. But it's exactly how a payment facilitator would describe itself.
