  What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

  been limited without any clear reason, especially when there has been no transaction activity on the account. This limitation is causing me significant problems. I need to add my PayPal account details to several freelancing platforms so that I can receive payments for my work.

  @GumihoDB Problem for me, is I had it in my cart, the payment was taken from PayPal, but then they canceled the order. Its not even on my page anymore. And cause I "purchased" it, it won't let me buy it again.

  @abalu_uthman All these bitten down stocks could pull greatest surprised, including Meta though. I learnt a big lesson from INTEL stock. When US govt put in money, it skyrocketed. Now see what PayPal is doing now with few days. Another stock I focused on now is NIKE. Watch.

  @BoyGeorge @billboard There's an issue I tried several times. The link takes you to PayPal under somebody else's account and I cannot login with my own account. You have to put in a different link, not associated with anyone else else's PayPal account.

  I still do not see the use case for Bitcoin. It's not secret once your public key is known as all transaction history is visible in the blockchain. From a utility standpoint, I already have electronic money used in everyday transactions. It's called PayPal. With border guards now routinely unlocking and searching peoples mobile devices, the idea that you can cross borders and take wealth with you secretly is an illusion, too. The scarcity argument is also a straw man. Just because something is scarce doesn't make it intrinsically valuable or useful. Folks point to the value of a "proof of work" or the energy consumed in "mining" bitcoin. This would be like saying that a table is more valuable because someone sanded it by hand instead of using a power sander. Just because it's hard doesn't make the outcome more valuable. I've interviewed many Europeans who survived WW2. What was valuable in war are gold and diamonds. In SHTF with the grid and networks down, how are you going to exchange that Bitcoin without access to the blockchain server network? Bartering in gold, silver, ammunition or other things of value will be more useful.

  Initially, she sent me the painting and agreed to pay a deposit. She then transferred 100% of the money even though I had only asked for 50%.She suggested using PayPal, but I didn't have it and only had Wise. She agreed, but then said Wise was having problems.

  @minsunggful Yeah I’ve also been having issues every time I’ve tried to buy the ticket through PayPal. Just thought it was my bank that was the problem but I guess it’s PayPal then. I had tow wait a few hours and try again before I could buy it.

  MORE THAN most people are comfortable admitting. And the 2FA point is where it gets genuinely alarming. Most people use their email as the recovery method for every other account they own. That single design decision turns email access into a master key. The attack sequence takes minutes. Email access means password reset on every account that sends recovery links to that address. Your bank. Your PayPal. Your Amazon with saved payment methods. Your Apple ID or Google account which controls your phone backup, your photos, your contacts, and every app you have ever downloaded. Your social media. Your cloud storage. Your work accounts if you ever linked them. The 2FA bypass is where people feel falsely safe. Most 2FA implementations send codes to your phone number or email. If the attacker controls your email they intercept email based 2FA codes directly. For SMS based 2FA they request a password reset, which sends a link to your email, which they already control. Phone based 2FA often has an account recovery option that routes back to email when you cannot access your phone. Your email is not one factor in a chain. It is the root of the entire tree. The accounts with the most damage potential reset through email without ever touching your phone. Crypto exchange accounts. Investment platforms. Domain registrars if you own a business. Hosting providers. The average person has their email connected to somewhere between 100 and 500 accounts accumulated over years of internet use. Most of those accounts were created, briefly used, and forgotten. They still exist. They still have saved payment methods, personal information, and access to things you stopped thinking about years ago. One password. One inbox. Everything else follows. The fix is treating your email account as the most critical credential you own rather than the least. Unique strong password generated by a password manager. Hardware security key as the second factor specifically for email, not SMS, not push notification. A separate recovery email that no one knows exists and that you never use for anything else. Your email is not a communication tool. It is the administrative console for your entire digital life.

  SITUATION EXPLAINED: Aschenbrenner's letter to investors: full responsibility, no more leverage, staying in public equities. • The letter went out last night, he takes "full responsibility," and says the fund will no longer borrow from banks to magnify its bets • It will keep operating in public equities, not converting into a private fund as people had speculated • He compared the dynamics to a bank run, and partly blamed short sellers targeting the fund's positions • New from the FT: when Intel reported strong earnings and its stock unexpectedly fell, the aggressive seller was reportedly Aschenbrenner, covering losses on Bloom Energy and SanDisk • By Wednesday he had stopped taking investor calls, and was talking to Jane Street, Millennium, and Citadel instead • He reached a deal Wednesday night to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic stake to a consortium led by Greenoaks and Sequoia, then backed out Thursday morning • Greenoaks and Sequoia both led Anthropic's $65 billion Series H at a $900 billion valuation, a round Situational Awareness itself invested in • Despite all of it, the fund is still up 80% on the year, and 1,551% since founding less than two years ago • Plenty of big names have blown up worse and recovered: Paul Tudor Jones nearly quit after cotton losses, Bill Ackman wound down his first fund in 2002, Musk was ousted from PayPal before Tesla and SpaceX nearly went bankrupt @theojaffee: "People are getting way too negative about Situational Awareness now. Situational Awareness is fine. Leopold Aschenbrenner is fine. If it literally went to zero, he's still a generational talent and he would do very well regardless."

  @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.

  PayPal held $9,500 of a nonprofit's donations for 21 days in 2023. No explanation. Just a reserve, a login screen, and a support queue. Your $25 gift can sit in that same queue.

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.
