  @PlayGreak That looks awesome. I will buy it once PayPal lets me do so. I'm facing errors right now via Steam.

  @Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  @PayPal 4/5 I am not merely requesting an explanation because I disagree with the outcome. I am specifically requesting reconsideration based on additional compelling documentation and/or an error in the original review. Please escalate this to the appropriate claims or appeals…

  @GeorgeGammon I watched your discussion with @philippilk about USD as a reserve currency with great interest. You gentlemen are both right, but I point out that people change systems reluctantly at first, but then suddenly. Nobody knows this better than software developers like me. Making the transition for even better systems like moving from Windows to Mac is a pain at first until it isn't. Sending wire transfers through Swift is a PAIN IN THE ***. It's also slow. One could say it has a lot of friction. PayPal has low friction. I'm hearing that CIPS is a low friction system. Will CIPS become trusted? That's the key. China is the world's manufacturer. She consumes raw materials and produces finished goods. It make sense to engage in transactions in RMB when possible if it is convenient. Where the Chinese appear to be building a better reserve system is via #Gold. If one can transact in RMB and have frictionless reserves in gold, that would be an attractive system. Lastly, there's resentment. Because of the behavior of the USA in sanctions and seizures of USD by foreign actors, there is great resentment building against the USA. We now have large parts of the planet that hate us for stealing their money. All eyes on China.

  @MaximiliankotWA This is why I’m probably double or tripling down on Patreon once I confirm it works for payment processing and such. I was using it with PayPal but now doing it direct to bank. I also am doing the math on what I need to full time and to help expand.

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  For those wondering, TPV for Paypal is broken into Branded Checkouts (The money maker) which includes paypal checkout, venmo for merchants. They also call out P2P (sending money to a friend) which does not make a lot of money. Issue is Venmo does a bit of both. Knowing Venmo TPV won't tell you how much of Venmo TPV is for merchants vs P2P. They do say vague stuff like 45% of growth is from Venmo merchants. That does not help triangulate the figures

  I paid for everything even the thumbnails that didn’t pass moderation because he said he would fix them which he ended up saying later that it’s not his problem after we agreed he would do it. After the PayPal cases are concluded if I end up winning them, I’m letting him keep the thumbnails that did work, which is less than half of them.

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  @quinniferhugh @scaledxclancy @mvlberrystreet_ Yeah that is where I screwed up ... didn't question about PayPal and definitely should have. I had seen a couple people comment that they had purchased tickets from them previously with no problem. I put too much trust in that ... or maybe scammer just realized I was easy prey 😒

  🚨STRIPE’S ENDGAME: BUY $PYPL , OWN THE TRANSACTION LAYER $PYPL is an M&A probability curve. Stripe and Advent started at $60.50. PayPal said no. The stock moved to the bid. Now the only number that can fix this is the clearing price. My range is $65–72. Because $75+ requires Stripe to decide the strategic value of PayPal exceeds the regulatory and integration tax. Stripe owns the merchant infrastructure. $PYPL owns consumer distribution. Venmo gives Stripe the consumer network it never built. OpenRouter gives Stripe a toll road into AI commerce. Put it together and Stripe is positioning itself between the consumer, merchant, money movement and increasingly the AI agent initiating the transaction. That is the bull case. The bear case is equally simple. You are combining two enormous payments networks, inviting regulators into the room, spending $50B+ to do it and then asking two very different organizations to operate as one economic machine. So I wouldn't underwrite $PYPL here as a turnaround. If deal dies, $PYPL will price lower. If deal clears around $65–72, the shareholders monetize the control premium. If Stripe decides that PayPal is strategically irreplaceable, then we see $75+ becoming possible. For Stripe, the bigger question is quietly assembling the financial operating system for the next internet. Payments were layer one. Consumer distribution is layer two. AI agents may be layer three. $PYPL is the expensive bridge between them.

  @WagerWizard00 I agree that PayPal is still something but when you look at the overall revenue growth it’s not impressive. Unless they can get revenue acceleration then a low multiple is warranted in an industry like this. And what I said was that I think the chances of them reaching sustained revenue growth has gone down
