  @JustinD8787 @bluesinthe93266 You're not understanding this once again. You don't use your personal PayPal account. You use a gift card you buy through PayPal. Here's the step by step process: 1. Purchase the Code: Visit the official PayPal Digital Gift Cards CA marketplace. 2. Select the Store: Choose either the Apple Gift Card or the Google Play gift code matching your phone. 3. Pay & Redeem: Check out securely using your PayPal balance. You will receive a redemption code via email. 4. Load the Balance: Redeem the code in your mobile App Store or Google Play Store to clear a prepaid wallet balance. 5. Subscribe on X: Open the X app and complete your upgrade using your stored app store balance. This method provides complete anonymity. And the point remains that you don't have to link your personal credit card or PayPal account - you're just not creative enough to get around it. That's a you problem.

  Zelle pushed $1 trillion last year and not one cent of it ever crossed a border. That's about to change, and the rail they picked isn't the one anybody would've bet on five years ago. A stablecoin. Early Warning Services, the bank consortium that runs Zelle, is starting with India. Obviously. No country on earth pulls in more remittance money, north of $100 billion a year, and a huge slice of it gets wired out of the US. So what carries it over? Not ACH, not SWIFT. Something called ZLUSD, dollar-backed, built specifically for the international hop. And the thing I keep circling back to has nothing to do with the tech. It's who owns this. Zelle is the bank-owned network. The entire reason it exists is that the big US banks watched Venmo and PayPal eat into retail payments and decided they weren't giving up the rest of the table too. Those banks. The same consortium. They quietly went and decided a stablecoin is the cheaper way to push a dollar across a border. Now remember how many years these institutions spent telling everyone crypto rails were a solution looking for a problem. The problem was cross-border the whole time. Fees, delays, three intermediaries stacked on top of each other, sitting right under their nose. They just couldn't admit it out loud while wire transfers were still printing money for them. Cameron Fowler, who runs EWS, framed it as an expansion of what Zelle already does. Technically true, sure. But nobody reaches for a stablecoin when the old plumbing is doing fine. Which stablecoin ends up winning the corridor was never the interesting question. The banks picking one up at all is. They followed the cheaper rail.

  I solved the problem to receive payments! I found an app that allows me to receive their payments and they can pay directly from their credit or debit cards without using Paypal thanks to @Mr_Sandman404 for helping me test the app!!

  Jeff Bezos didn't set out to build AWS and logistics dominance on day one; he just realized buying books online was painfully slow and inefficient. Elon Musk didn't start with Mars; he started by realizing sending money on the internet took days and should take seconds (PayPal).

  Elon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

  Looking good. No humidity sensor data. This was because I purposefully damaged sensor to simulate a component failure and if it would cause issues. Turns out, as expected, it does not. All other sensors stay online. We build these. This is what your SuperChats, channel memberships, PayPal tips, GoFundMe donations, etc go to. It's all right here.

  About AI and my art; if you’re just playing around with it alls fun and games. But if you’re seriously collaborating with it, directing it to adjust your sketches and paintings to fit your creative ideas & intuition, it keeps adding different unasked-for iterations. Talking with an AI is not like talking with a human. The thing hallucinates; or rather, it does not ‘Grok’ what I want. Humans have the ability to connect, that is, get your intentions, insights, and ideas, and they can do it quickly. I’m not saying that this happens between humans easily, or all the time. In fact there are plenty of times, especially when the creative intuition is operating at a high frequency, that many humans can’t get there. AI can produce quickly, but it’s directionless. Today I talked with one on PayPal. It said it could help me with most issues. Maybe it can, but only if it’s a problem solution in its memory, and you phrase it in just the right way to trigger that memorized response. Otherwise it’s very limited with what it can help you with. And it wasn’t able to help me with my issue; but a human operator was. I’d say that AI was not nimble or flexible intelligence. It’s quick data retrieval that mimics a fake flexible intelligence. Well, that’s my experience with it so far. Maybe, with practice, I’ll get better at using this as a tool, and forget about the idea that this an actual intelligence.

  Free infrastructure creates competitive applications. The entity that sits between them, making the connection work reliably, becomes the most durable business in the ecosystem. In the 1990s, as the internet was being built, the battle everyone watched was between infrastructure players and application players. The infrastructure companies were critical and modestly valued. The application companies were exciting and wildly overvalued. What few people noticed was the emergence of a third category… companies that weren’t building the internet and weren’t building on the internet, but were building the tools that made the internet commercially usable. The payment processors that connected the banking system to e-commerce. The security companies that made consumer trust in online transactions possible. The logistics companies that connected digital demand to physical fulfillment. These companies — early PayPal, Verisign, FedEx in its transformation, were not glamorous. They were solving operationally complex, commercially invisible problems in the gap between infrastructure and application. Over the next two decades, many infrastructure companies became commodities. Many application companies failed or were acquired. The middleware companies, the ones that had built genuinely irreplaceable connective tissue between the two layers, quietly became some of the most durable and profitable businesses in the digital economy.
