  Global payment platforms are not equally accessible to every business For many African founders, the issue is not demand or credibility It is structure Payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square operate within specific systems

  @rwaassetchain You’re correctly identifying the bottleneck but “always the answer” skips a few hard realities. Stablecoins (like $USDC) fix the transport layer: instant settlement, 24/7 uptime, low fees. That’s a clear upgrade over legacy rails and platforms like PayPal. But creator payouts are a full stack problem: On/offramps: creators still need local fiat, and cashing out reintroduces fees + delays Compliance: KYC, tax reporting, and jurisdictional rules don’t disappear onchain Distribution UX: wallets, key management, and support overhead still limit adoption Liquidity + trust: stablecoins rely on issuers and redemption guarantees So the real answer isn’t purely onchain it’s modular rails: Onchain for settlement and global distribution Local rails for access, spend, and compliance The shift happening now is that onchain becomes the default backend, even if the front-end still looks like traditional finance. @rwaassetchain

  Did that girl actually scam a proshipper? No, 100% she didnt. If she did, we would hear from the person who got scammed. Not only that, but if she did scam them, and is bragging about it on the internet, it’d be soooooo easy to get their paypal account taken down

Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop.

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. 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???

  PayPal PayPal PayPal. Why always talking about PayPal when we have access to Chinese markets? Why not try to leverage what we have first before trying to get access to something else. This obsession with the west is keeping us down.

  So @PayPalUK @PayPal have let a scammer who was able to infiltrate their system including SMS to take 797£ out of my nominated bank account. I have tried three times to raise the case and each time they say it’s a legitimate transaction. Terrible service from @PayPalUK

  @GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

  Ok ok / testing the intelligence offering $10 Million and a pretty truck now who's the stupid ****? Children are smarter than you. Time to pony up. That bullshit 'get me a card' game.. then look at that PAYPAL at the center again you are next my ignorant friend. JUST LIKE YOU HOTMAIL.. why every day do I need to fix my password? Is it because you ensure control by saving my password only on my device? That way the password really wasn't changed in your system / allowing me in only during that log-in so you maintain control to my account. How then can you offer 'security' to people when you are crooked? Answer now to the world. REVELATIONS

  How to use ICP to top up @ProtonMail account: I switched to Switzerland-based Proton about 10 years ago from Gmail as part of the effort to de-google myself. Among Proton's many great features, one of them is that it accepts crypto payment in $BTC . For an #ICP user, this is how you can take advantage of this to use ICP to pay for Proton services. 1/ In your @oisy wallet (the best ICP wallet, built by @dfinity team), convert $ICP into $ckBTC . As both are using ICP's ICRC standard, the conversion is instant and has no gas fee. 2/ In Oisy's BTC asset, which includes both the native BTC and ckBTC (in an account abstraction fashion), choose ckBTC, and then convert $ckBTC into $BTC. This step will require the standard block confirmation on the BTC mainnet. 3/ In the Proton account, All Settings => Credits => Add Credits, pick the dollar amount. Proton will provide the needed BTC amount and a BTC address (this address is regenerated every time, not a static one). 4/ In Oisy, send over this amount of BTC to the Proton address. Proton will show something like, "your credit is received ...". This "Add credits" pop-up window will disappear. When the BTC's mainnet confirmation is finished (30-60 minutes), the "Credits" section will display the updated balance from the BTC top-up, and Proton will automatically deduct the monthly fee from this balance on the due date. This is almost perfect, except that Proton does not support a yearly subscription with BTC yet - i. e., you can only pay BTC as you go month to month (but it's automatic deduction, so it's good enough), not in an annual plan fashion, which can save 20-30%. Why go through the trouble of using BTC/ICP but not a credit card or PayPal? No KYC, love. Total anonymity.

  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.
