  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully… you are a therapist on paper. It is not normal for people who are therapist and mess with people’s brains and have a company to try to destroy said company at the same time. You want to be by his side by all means I really don’t care. But you will stop targeting me. You will stop targeting my son. You guys like too much drama this is not billionaire behavior. You think this is royalty you want to steal the country at **** point you think this is royalty. You want to be a queen…. But this is your behavior. Absolutely not. The only stupid ***** in this conversation is you. Trying to break brains running MK ultra on people and thinking that that’s going to strengthen your brand. I am sick of this. I reverse engineered PTSD I am Meta conscious I did the work It is not normal for someone to Target you that is psychopathy especially when it’s a therapist who owns a brain company. Do you see where I’m going with this? Pull your crazy together and start acting like a lady. I know I’m crashing out, but they know that I’m exasperated… your behavior will never get you accepted…

  @RepJayapal Oh no, PayPal is upset. How about you show some true integrity for a change and issue a formal written apologize for you how acted in the recent Congressional Committee hearing with the Angel Families? Until you do, your fake outrage means nothing.

  I bet your mom has never used a crypto app. Mine hasn’t either. But she already uses: WhatsApp✅ Banking apps✅ GPay✅ PayPal✅ So the problem isn't that moms can't use financial apps. Crypto apps simply weren’t designed for them. Now imagine you work thousands of miles away and send money home every month. An app helps you send it. Your mom receives it. And the app’s job is done. But your family’s financial needs aren’t. What if the same app stayed useful after the money arrived? That’s the startup: a financial home for families living across borders. Remittance is just the beginning. Here’s what @SumiroStudio should build on Solana 🧵👇

  Merchant Risk Desk (@MerchantRiskDsk) reported 25 minutes ago

  @supawatkaewma One dispute triggering full account closure even with evidence submitted shows the real risk of routing everything through a single processor's Connect layer, they own that decision entirely. Moving to whop just shifts you to a different aggregator with a similar structural risk, payout holds tied to internal reviews, no real appeal path. The more durable fix is decoupling your payment acceptance from any single platform's risk call. PaymentKit lets you run Stripe, PayPal and others in parallel with your own token vault, so one processor's dispute policy cannot end your ability to pay clients.

  I believe the SaaSpocalypse will be proven to be overblown. @michaeljburry knows this. Though I believe his "AI bubble" call is too early, I happen to agree with some of his other calls. One of which is an extremely undervalued and beaten down stock I feel could outperform: $PYPL PayPal Bullish Thesis: Valuation is cheap by almost any measure: PYPL trades around $46 (down ~40% over the past year, off a 52-week high of $79.50), with a market cap near $40B. The trailing P/E is roughly 8x — a value-stock multiple for a company with 20%+ ROE — and the forward P/E sits near 8x as well. EV/EBITDA is around 6x and free cash flow yield is well into double digits. Burry himself has flagged PayPal as trading at ~8x earnings while generating strong buyback-fueled capital returns. Revenue and growth: Q1 2026 revenue came in at $8.35B, up ~7% YoY and beating estimates by nearly 4%. Total Payment Volume hit $464B, up 11% YoY. Branded checkout — long the bear case — actually accelerated to 2% currency-neutral growth from 1% the prior quarter, and PSP (merchant) volume growth accelerated to 11%. Debit card and tap-to-pay volume rose 60% YoY, and Buy Now Pay Later TPV grew 23%. Venmo — the hidden asset: Venmo TPV growth accelerated to 14% YoY, its sixth straight quarter of double-digit growth, with "Pay with Venmo" TPV up 34%. Management has now split Venmo into its own reporting segment under the new "Consumer Financial Services & Venmo" business line — a structural change that makes its standalone value visible for the first time and opens the door to a potential spin-off or strategic deal, something the market has speculated could unlock real value. PayPal Ads — a new, high-margin growth lever: PayPal launched "Curated Ads" in April 2026, a data-driven ad network that ties ad impressions directly to verified purchase data rather than cookies — leveraging PayPal's enormous first-party transaction dataset. This is a nascent but potentially high-margin revenue stream layered on top of existing payment volume, similar to how Amazon turned its retail data into a multibillion-dollar ads business. Balance sheet and capital returns: As of Q1 2026: $13.5B in cash/investments against $11.6B in debt — a solid net cash-ish position for a company generating $6B+ in annual free cash flow. On a trailing-12-month basis, PayPal returned $6B to shareholders via buybacks (reducing weighted average share count by roughly 7-8% YoY) and just initiated its first-ever quarterly dividend ($0.14/share). Management has reiterated a ~$6B buyback target for full-year 2026 against a market cap of only ~$40B — that's roughly 15% of the company being retired in a single year at depressed prices. New leadership and cost discipline: The board replaced CEO Alex Chriss with former HP CEO Enrique Lores (effective March 2026), pairing the transition with a ~20% workforce reduction, a $1.5B AI-driven cost-savings program over 2-3 years, and a wind-down of the PayPal Ventures arm (with Jefferies hired to explore secondary sales) — all aimed at sharpening focus on the core Checkout, Venmo, and Payment Services businesses. Michael Burry's stake Scion Asset Management disclosed a ~3.5% position in PayPal in April 2026 at around $49/share, calling it a top pick in his "software-payments" basket — ranking it ahead of Fiserv and Adobe on stock-based comp discipline. Burry has continued adding to the position through Q2, framing recent weakness as technical (private-credit/software-debt driven) rather than fundamental, and specifically citing management turnover as an "overhang" rather than a broken thesis — i.e., a catalyst still to play out, not a reason to avoid the stock. Separately, filings from SG Americas have fueled speculation of an activist investor building a stake. Key risks: guidance calls for a high-single-digit non-GAAP EPS decline in Q2 2026 and roughly flat transaction margin dollars for the full year; competition from Apple Pay, Stripe, and Block continues to compress branded checkout; there's an active shareholder class-action related to prior revenue-forecast disclosures; and the CEO transition itself is an execution risk, not just a catalyst. tl;dr $PYPL bull case: trading at ~8x earnings, $6B buyback/yr (~15% of market cap), new dividend, $13.5B cash vs $11.6B debt. Venmo TPV +14% YoY (accel. 6 straight qtrs), now its own segment. New Curated Ads business. New CEO cutting $1.5B in costs. Michael Burry built a 3.5% stake, calling it his top payments/software pick. Priced for pessimism, not for a cash machine.

  Elon Musk once admitted that during the worst year of his life, every morning when he woke up, he would immediately throw up from stress before he had even gotten out of bed. This didn't happen when he was broke. It wasn't before he became wealthy. It happened while he was running both Tesla and SpaceX, sleeping on the factory floor, watching both companies come dangerously close to collapse. He described the feeling as "staring into the abyss while chewing on broken glass." Journalists asked him why he didn't just sell everything and retire. He had already made $180 million from PayPal. He could have bought a house on a private island and never worked another day in his life. His answer was remarkably calm. He said he simply couldn't do that not out of ego, but because if SpaceX failed, no one else would seriously try to make humanity a multi-planetary species within the next 20 years. And by then, 20 years might already be too late. He chose the stress. He chose to face the abyss. Not because he wanted to suffer, but because he didn't believe anyone else cared enough to take on that responsibility. Photo: Musk's exhausted yet determined expression after SpaceX's third consecutive rocket launch failure. P/s: hope can see people can live on the Mar in next 20 years.

  I started this donation drive 10 days ago, and we have already reached more than 117,000 PHP. 🥹 Despite the PayPal issues and all the stress that came with it, the truth is that I have never regretted starting this donation drive. Story time: As some of you may know, there have been people spreading rumors and false accusations about me, including calling me a scammer. This has been happening for months. I tried my best to ignore it, but I won’t lie, it affected me, especially because I am also part of another fandom aside from being a Yobie. When the ticket sales started, I actually had no plans of creating a donation drive. I simply sponsored one ticket myself because I wanted to help in a small way. I also encouraged others to sponsor, and I was able to connect someone who wanted to help with someone who needed a ticket. At that point, I was just acting as a bridge between fans who wanted to give support and fans who needed assistance. Then someone messaged me wanting to donate, and I thought, why not? Why should I let other people stop me from helping Yoko? If I stopped supporting her because of rumors and accusations, even when I know I did nothing wrong, then that would mean they succeeded in stopping me from doing something good. So I decided to start this donation drive. Honestly, I never expected that so many people would support it, especially with everything that has been said about me. That is why I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you not only to everyone who donated, but also to those who continue sharing my posts, spreading the word, and showing your trust and support. You have no idea how much it means to me. Thank you for believing in me and for allowing me to continue doing something I genuinely want to do: supporting Yoko. 🫧

  The Team Behind Newton Protocol Built The Wallet Infrastructure Powering Polymarket Magic Labs isn't new to onchain infrastructure at scale. 57 million wallets. 200,000+ developers. Embedded wallet technology that powers some of the highest-traffic consumer applications in crypto. Polymarket — the prediction market that became a cultural moment during the 2024 US election — runs on Magic Labs' wallet infrastructure. @newton_xyz is Magic Labs' next layer. The embedded wallet technology they built solved one specific problem: making wallet creation invisible to the end user. No seed phrase, no extension, no friction at the point where most onchain products lose people. PayPal Ventures backed that bet. Newton Protocol is a different kind of problem — not reducing friction for end users, but adding enforceable structure for the infrastructure layer underneath them. 57 million wallets moving value onchain eventually need authorization infrastructure. Those wallets interacting with DeFi vaults, RWA platforms, and institutional products need compliance layers that aren't just UI checkboxes. The core developer team that built scalable wallet infrastructure is now building the authorization layer that operates before those wallets settle transactions. There's a through line. Magic Labs spent years solving the problem of how to onboard users into onchain products without the experience breaking. Newton is now solving the problem of how to make the transactions those users initiate compliant, secure, and verifiable — without the experience breaking. The technical foundation is different. The design principle is the same. Friction belongs in the infrastructure, not in the user's path. $NEWT $BTC #Newt

  @BullrunnersHQ I refuse to get a Venmo acct. and will shut my Paypal down on a second. Hackers get into those accts all the time. I DO NOT trust Venmo and question Paypal for unsolicited monthly payments that I did not agree. My bank had to fight to get $486 back from Venmo that I never had. It's quiet alarming. They need to be forced to use a secure ledger.
