  Peter Thiel and David Sacks were going to write a book about PayPal. Elon Musk’s chapter was titled “The Man Who Knew Nothing About Risk.” The PayPal Mafia. The sharpest venture minds of a generation. People who had built with Musk. Watched him operate up close. They thought he was out of his mind. Thiel: “When Elon was building both Tesla and SpaceX in the 2000s, people thought he was just really, really crazy.” This was not the press misunderstanding a founder. This was his own people. And they were not wrong by accident. They were wrong by design. Because the framework everyone uses to calculate risk is built on one assumption. That the laws governing what is possible are fixed. Musk did not share that assumption. Thiel figured that out later. Thiel: “If one of the two companies had succeeded, you would say, well, maybe he still got really lucky. But when two out of two companies that people thought were completely harebrained both succeed, you have to reassess.” One success is luck. Two is a different kind of intelligence entirely. Musk was simultaneously trying to privatize space and electrify transportation. Two industries with the most entrenched players on Earth. Two that had eaten billions in failed attempts. Two that governments spent decades trying to move and couldn’t. He did both. At the same time. Nearly went bankrupt doing it. And came out the other side owning both. That is not luck. That is not even genius. That is a different relationship with reality itself. The conventional risk model measures one thing. The probability of losing what you already have. Capital at risk. Downside scenarios. Protect the position. Musk was running a different equation entirely. He was calculating the cost of not trying. The risk of building a reusable rocket and failing is a rounding error. The risk of humanity remaining trapped on a single planet forever is not. The conventional investor sees a 90% chance of losing everything and calls it irrational. Musk saw a 100% chance of civilizational stagnation if no one moved and called that the real risk. The math was never wrong. The lens was just incomprehensibly larger. Thiel: “Somehow the rest of us are too risk-averse, or there’s something about risk he knows that we don’t.” That is Peter Thiel. One of the most ruthless, clear-eyed thinkers in venture capital history admitting the model broke. Not that Musk got lucky. That the rest of them were running a flawed framework and didn’t know it. That should keep you up at night. Because if the PayPal Mafia had the wrong model, the question is not whether Musk is exceptional. The question is how many other things the conventional framework is catastrophically wrong about right now. How many ideas getting buried today look obvious in ten years. How many founders are being told they don’t understand risk when they are the only ones who do. The chapter never got written. The man it was supposed to warn us about built two of the most important companies in human history instead. They are still writing the explanation. He already moved on to the next impossible thing.

  @achthenuts I'll look for other services. The problem is that PayPal is the easiest money transfer service for people overseas. I feel bad making commission requesters use other, more complicated methods.🥲

  Real issue though I see is there are many freelancers/companies (incl. me) selling digital products in global market. However, we're forced to use third party gateways and losing potential customers because our policy isn't ready for Stripe, Paypal, Google merchant account etc.

  Viral Patel (@viralpatel15) reported 7 minutes ago

  People often ask me whether they should buy companies like PayPal, Nike, UnitedHealth Group, or Microsoft — high-quality names by any standard. But my first question is always simple: Why buy a stock that’s in a downtrend? The 200-day moving average isn’t some complex, elite concept — it’s one of the most basic indicators of trend. Yet many investors don’t know it. And that’s understandable — financial literacy is still surprisingly low, even among professionals. But at some point, ignorance becomes a choice. Because this one concept alone can save you years of underperformance. When a stock trades below its 200-day moving average, it’s often in a prolonged downtrend. And while the company may be great, the stock can remain weak for months — sometimes years. That’s the part most people ignore. They say they’re “long-term investors,” but what they often mean is they’re willing to sit on non-performing assets, hoping they eventually recover. That’s not strategy — that’s passive hope. And hope is not a timing strategy. The truth is, no one knows how much further a falling stock can drop. A stock down 30% can fall another 50%. There is no rule that says “cheap” can’t get cheaper. So instead of guessing bottoms, why not wait for strength? A strong stock will eventually reclaim its 200-day moving average. That moment is meaningful — it signals that demand is returning and the trend may be shifting. You don’t need to catch the bottom to make money. You need to catch the trend. Because investing isn’t just about what you buy — it’s about when you buy. And choosing to ignore simple signals like trend direction isn’t a lifestyle choice — it’s a financial disadvantage. In a world where money influences almost every aspect of life, learning something this basic isn’t optional. It’s necessary.

  @AliAhmadAwan_ PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay and others you mentioned aren not the problem. They would come if your state policies allowed. Do some research, you will find why they can’t operate in Pakistan.

  @richtosho @esther_irene_ That’s the real issue. With Cash app and PayPal not accessible in Nigeria, people are forced to look for other options to receive international payments this just shows how big the gap still is. That’s why personally I use @Vbanapp , it just makes things a lot easier.

  The problem: banks and PayPal use the mid-market rate, then add a fee on top. You rarely see the real cost. It's buried in the exchange rate itself.
