  @LycanWitchcraft @LibertyValkyrie If the real founders were willing to sell what’s the problem with that? He founded Zip2 (sold to Compaq for $307 million in 1999) and PayPal (originally X•com, acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002) I don’t see him taking credits for them now.. that’s how life works..

  For 3.5 years, trying Artie meant a 5-step sales process. Now it means 30 minutes and a database connection. In the past, you needed to book a call. Discovery, demo, scoping, POC, contract. The whole process. That's how enterprise data infrastructure gets sold, and it worked. But we just launched Artie Self-Serve. 14-day free trial. Sign up, connect your database, see real-time replication running. No call required. We didn't treat this like a product update. We made it a proper launch, video, full team, because it's a real milestone and a new chapter. There's a piece by @gokulr that's been in my head for years (Self-serve first: the overlooked but essential paradigm underlying great software companies). He does a great job of breaking down how a self-serve business is a mechanism for bettering your business from all angles. Every $50B+ business software company as of 2018 — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Adobe, Booking, PayPal, Baidu, Alibaba, Intuit — built formidable, fast-growing self-serve businesses. Here's what I've already seen: self-serve changes the product. When customers can try it themselves, everything has to work in seconds. Onboarding has to be intuitive, from documentation to login. The product has to stand on its own, no hand-holding, no walking someone through it to answer questions. It also opens the door to a different customer entirely. Builders, small teams, engineers who want to evaluate something on a Tuesday night.

  @ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

  @juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

  @SandraaComEmily Hello, good evening/afternoon. I would love to accept your commission; however, I have a small issue. I do not have a PayPal account and only use GCash for payments. Unfortunately, this means I am unable to receive payment through PayPal. I hope you understand, and thank youfor-

  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.

  @pinklightsticc It would be far easier to following Seadlinnng if they had a payment option other than a credit card (which i dont have). Debit card or PayPal might get them more paid followers. I find this problem with Stardom PPV on stagecrowd, Diana and Actwres girls.

  It's shocking how much hidden FX fees we're paying for currency conversions. This morning, Wise charged me €22.90 to convert €5,000 to USD = 0.46%. Despite the "cheaper FX" marketing, I decided to investigate what others charge for the same conversion. Many providers advertise "low fees" or "0% commission," but the reality is different when looking at the actual costs: - Wise: €22.90 (0.46%) - Revolut Standard above their free limit: ~€50 (1%) - Revolut on a weekend: ~€90 (1.8%) - My local bank: €75-100 (1.5-2%) - Western Union: ~€100 (2%) - HSBC retail: ~€175 (3.5%) - PayPal: ~€200-250 (4-5%) The best option charges 0.5%, while banks can take 2-5%. For €100K in cross-border transfers annually, this could mean €500 to €5,000 lost to fees. Some of these hidden FX fees from markups are buried in the displayed rates rather than being itemized separately. Here's the kicker: the conversion is just a database update - debit EUR, credit USD, all internal. Real money only moves when the provider rebalances its overall position. So a big chunk of what they charge isn't cost, it's margin. Could stablecoin rails fix that? They already do.
