  @Enurfase Paypal is probably 4 steps from clicking the donation to sending the money, I don't think it's that difficult. Has to be a user error or something

  @LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy? They instantly refunded me for 3 purchases from an major anime figure site that closed down suddenly a few years ago. Can't guarantee it'll work though

  @quarter_clover PayPal and Stripe, both pose potential problems for artists. PayPal is easy to use but will drop artists over commission disputes. Stripe has a reputation for including personal info in receipts and billing, thus doxxing artists. This is not hearsay; I've had friends affected.

  @femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

  PayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.

  @PayPal 😪😪 My account has been operational for over one year now. Receiving payments almost weekly, just because I've received the highest payment so far, and it is not scam money, it is legit money, you decide to permanently take down my account.

  @MariaGraceVT Thanks Maria. I don’t really know what the costs will entail at this time, and what items lost we will feel necessary to replace. So I’m not even sure what I would ask for. I have a PayPal. But you’ve had your own home issues. 🫂

  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  Yes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  The Right Rationale (@Right_Rationale) reported 45 minutes ago

  @jvkenya Yes, you could read the article, where I go through the myth of that story: The “emerald mine heir” story is equally false. Musk left South Africa at 17 with roughly $2,000 Canadian dollars. He worked in a lumber mill. He lived in a youth hostel and later with relatives. After college he was more than $100,000 in debt. His first company, Zip2, began with a single computer he had built himself. Because he could not afford a second machine, he coded at night so the same computer could run the company’s server during the day. He wrote the initial platform himself. His father’s brief involvement with emeralds in the early 1980s produced no lasting wealth; by 2000 Errol Musk was bankrupt and later became financially dependent on his son. The capital that later funded Tesla and SpaceX came from the sale of Zip2 and then PayPal - companies Musk built from near-zero.
