  @RightScopee Not in a minute. They money will be spent to save way more than a 1000 livelihoods! Look at the vision, the success and transparancy and the facts of what this man is truly about and why the extra zeros matter. Elon could drop a million dollars at my feet and walk away and I am the poor MF that would chase him down to give it back and ask WTF just out of curiousity. Obviously I am an Elon fan and have been since his PayPAl days.

  Stripe closed down accounts for many SWers who use wishlists, what’s stopping PayPal from banning users too ?

  ok so I love my bff so much, I have to tell this story. I was feeling awful 2 weeks ago because I was 2 days late on rent and I had no new comms and I was panicking and I'm just disheartened cuz I think my art is **** cuz nobody wants to order and idk what else to do, and I was having.... unaliving thoughts...so i msged her about it. After giving me an extensive pep talk and me getting some nice compliments on a forum (where ofc I also complained) I calmed down. Then i receive in a server where I had posted about 5-10$ chibi sketch comms if anyone's interested, and i get a msg from an user there. she orders a 10$ chibi sketch and then pays me through coffee. I check my phone notifications later and see the paypal notification, just to see THE EMAIL OF MY BFF. I bursted into laughter, I don't think she knew I'd see her email, i msged her back and her answer was "god fkn dammit what gave me away" And I'll be honest! I was already weirded out by our similarities when i didn't know who she was and chatting in dms about the chibi she wanted, same dark humor same favorite female protagonists in shows and movies XDDDDDDDDDD Bro I love her so much, I went from 🔪 mood to laughing with tears cuz of that!

  Lesson 3: Payment gateways need reconfiguring. Stripe, Flutterwave, Paystack, and PayPal both use webhook URLs. When the domain transferred to the new server, the webhooks still pointed to the old IP. First 3 orders after migration: → Payment went through on Stripe → WooCommerce never received the confirmation → Orders stayed in "pending" forever Always update and test webhook URLs after migrating a WooCommerce store.

  Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reported 18 minutes ago

  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

  The Classic Playbook Bait (The Hook) They post mouth-watering food pics/videos + Complaints about high prices. Offer “half price”, “first meal free/taco free”, or “I’ll order it for you cheaper”. Use friendly animal persona or helpful vibe to build quick trust. Post on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook — often cross-promoting the same content. The Ask Tell you to DM them to “place the order”. They quote a discounted price. Request payment via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal “friends/family”, crypto, or gift cards (methods with little/ no buyer protection). The Execution Once you pay → They either: Ghost you completely (take the money and disappear). Send fake tracking or “order placed” screenshots. Claim “restaurant issue” and ask for more money. Occasionally deliver one small thing (the “free” first order) to hook you for bigger payments later. They use stolen accounts or newly created ones to stay under the radar. Why it works so well People are hungry + frustrated with prices. “First one free” lowers defenses. Looks like a helpful small side hustle. Scammers rotate accounts quickly before reports pile up. Red Flags Specific to These Scams Brand new account with few followers. No real business website or verifiable info. Pushes DM payments instead of official apps. Vague about how they get the deals (“I have connections”). Avoids showing real recent proof (timestamped receipts + deliveries). Real-World Impact Victims lose $20–$100+ per “order”. Many lose hundreds chasing “refunds” or second orders. Scammers often use the money for gift cards/crypto that’s hard to trace. How to Protect Yourself & Others Only order through official restaurant apps or established delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.). If a deal sounds too good and requires paying a random person → it’s a scam. Report the accounts. Share this breakdown when you see suspicious “cheap food” posts.

  Ehraz Ahmed (@ehrazahmedd) reported 34 minutes ago

  $CRCL CEO @jerallaire rightly addresses the key distinction which I spoke about in my post yesterday that 'Liquidity is king'. Think about PayPal. $PYPL PayPal launched PYUSD. Everyone thought: PayPal has 400 million users. Stablecoin game over. Result? PYUSD barely moved the needle. Why? Because distribution alone wasn't enough. You need: someone willing to hold PYUSD exchanges supporting PYUSD OTC desks supporting PYUSD market makers supporting PYUSD liquidity pools supporting PYUSD all simultaneously... They didn't. Coming to OpenUSD, it DOES NOT EXIST YET. Except as 140+ logos on a spreadsheet. As of today there is: no circulating supply no exchange liquidity no DeFi liquidity no transaction volume What exists today is an alliance. An idea. The real test is whether in the future, whenever they launch it... Can they get: exchange listings? market makers? arbitrage desks? DeFi adoption? cross-border volume? That's where most projects die. The consortium structure sounds attractive. In reality, consortiums are usually terrible operators. History: R3 Libra/Diem Hyperledger consortiums bank utility consortiums Most moved slowly. Everyone wants influence. Nobody wants responsibility. Imagine tomorrow: JPM launches JPMUSD Stripe launches StripeUSD Shopify launches ShopUSD Can they create a token? Absolutely. But can they instantly create: exchange liquidity OTC liquidity DeFi liquidity remittance liquidity banking relationships market makers regulatory approvals across dozens of countries? No. That took Circle nearly a decade. Another example is Google vs Bing: A better search engine can appear. But users don't instantly leave because: data distribution habits ecosystem matter. USDC is live today and has: liquidity developers integrations regulatory approvals exchange support banking rails already embedded. Today? OUSD has: logos commitments vision Everyone is focusing on: who gets the yield who gets the fees While completely ignoring: liquidity integrations settlement rails regulatory approvals which are the hard parts. USDC has: actual usage actual liquidity actual network effects.

  @Ciel2114 @dianadiana3587 That one was for content creation. It takes forever to be able to access any funds. That said, my paypal and email are fine. No issues on either. And not so sure why anyone would have found a problem. Maybe typos 🪶🥰

  @kingpindegen @TiltRips Hi @kingpindegen , I'm having an issue with withdrawals. I added my PayPal details, but the platform is only showing the option to connect a US bank through Coinflow. I'm from India, so I can't use a US bank account. Could you please let me know if PayPal withdrawals are supported for Indian users or if there's another withdrawal method available? Thank you!

  take these 3 chores off your plate this week 1. website updates. framer put ai agents inside its website builder. tell one "update my pricing page" or "find every broken link" and it makes the edits right in your site editor. nothing goes live until you hit publish. free to start. 2. scheduling back-and-forth. cal's individual plan is free forever with unlimited event types, and it imports your whole calendly setup in 1 click. stripe and paypal payments work on the free plan too, so clients can book and pay in one step. 3. phone busywork. acti is a free iphone keyboard with an agent inside. type what you need, hold the acti bar, and it pulls up the meeting link or calendar action right there in the chat. you can build your own shortcuts by describing them in plain english. save this. set up one of the three before friday. which chore goes first?
