That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

  @V_arrell Not terrible. The irony for me would have been @PayPal disabled my account for paying a state-required budtender education for one of my employees. When given evidence, PayPal accused me of human trafficking and disabled my account. So I wouldn’t be able to pay the fee here…

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

  Last part : or at least lie and say maybe this could help blah blah🫠not tell the customer it’s an algorithm thing and there’s nothing I could do. What’s the point of calling if you can’t fix the problem, this is not an unplug and wait 10 sec thing. @PayPal very disappointing.

  i quickly realized stripe and paypal simply cannot work for payments on opendojo due to regulations, fees, and processing times that's why i chose the stablecoin USDC as the default payment method, which seems retarded and prohibitive to user onboarding, but actually here is what i discovered: - crypto is borderless, naturally increasing dataset diversity, scale, and simplifying legal - crypto is somewhat anonymous, preserving the anonymity of AI labs who don't want to reveal their next moves - crypto is faster and cheaper than any bank, meaning more money goes directly to the people so far i've processed 1000s of dollars without any issues, and i'm really looking forward to seeing how the system performs with scale

  @withoutname820 I truly understand how frustrating this situation is, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I know you need to receive the payment on that specific email and that creating a new PayPal account or using a different payment gateway isn’t an option for you. Unfortunately, issues related to receiving payments on a specific email or account restrictions can only be reviewed and resolved by PayPal Customer Support, as they are the only ones with access to account-level details and verification tools.

  @ghhughes It really is. I think cost & availability are two big issues for a lot of people with masks. The masks I do but are creeping up in price so I can buy fewer & need to use PayPal in 3 to spread the cost. I am worried that they'll become unmanageable to buy at some point. There are

  @cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness

  @AskPayPal Hi, I can’t log in to my PayPal account because I no longer have access to my old phone number used for verification. All login codes are being sent there, so I’m locked out. I can provide my email, card details, and ID to verify ownership.

  @brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.

  🚨 JUST IN: Former PayPal CEO David Marcus just unveiled a stablecoin banking product for businesses and AI agents. Stablecoin balances. Yield. Payments. Cards. All chain-native, all behind an API. This is Banking-as-a-Service but onchain. --- Banking-as-a-Service is getting rebuilt on stablecoin rails. The old stack - Middleware (e.g. Unit / Synctera) - Galileo - FBO accounts at a sponsor bank There's now a chain-native version. - Squads Grid does it on Solana. - Bridge built it for fintechs, payroll and non banks - BVNK ships it embedded. Lightspark now joins them, with distribution into 65 countries and a Bitcoin L2 underneath. --- I keep thinking about how the "account" itself is being unbundled. What used to be a sub-ledger entry at a partner bank becomes a programmable smart account that holds dollars, settles 24/7, keeps its own yield, issues cards, and accepts agent-scoped permissions. The bank charter turns into a feature you plug in for accessing other rails. --- The agent piece is marketing, but its also more than that. Lightspark is already inside Google's AP2 protocol. As agents want to become platforms in their own right, re-sell financial services to their customers, they'd want a BaaS like thing. Why not go for something that uses stablecoins? --- Marcus has THE most fascinating back story - Former CEO of PayPal, has moved money traditionally - Behind Libra at Meta a global bank account and "stablecoin" that regulators pushed back on. Now this is a global stablecoin bank account distributed through an API, post-GENIUS Act, sold to businesses and machines. Sometimes timing is everthing. Does this compliment or commoditize BaaS over time? I expect the answer becomes obvious within 18 months.

  When Musk has 200 billion, he doesn't consume it-he allocates it. SpaceX/Starlink/Neuralink/xAI. Every dollar is bet on the future. He has a track record PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX. He knows how to spot massive problems and allocate resources to them with spectacular returns

  I am not pleased with you, @PayPal. I'm in the middle of a move. Merchant only takes PayPal. Addresses in flux and your algorithms choke and I cannot pay them. And your customer service is powerless to fix it. I expect better from you.
