  @Sousinr @alexabelonix The fact that 180-day hold is recognizable enough to be called a PayPal classic is probably the problem makes having another payment route ready before anything happens feel a lot less optional.

  @BenDempsey18 @ChuckieBre @Acyn looking at elon's personal history he almost killed paypal by introducing a security error that let people steal money extremely easily, then his later business ventures were leveraged off his buyout and ability to raise venture capital through international connections

  @ddw88523 I never said he wasn't. But every time he posts value plays they always go down a massive chunk. He was hyping PayPal for the longest time. It's simple pattern recognition.

  @jojoyousaidwhat @PayPal Absolutely terrible. And the customer service reps are barely understandable and can’t do anything. It’s criminal how they run their business.

  @GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing Meanwhile, success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2015 This fat slob- an Epstein sleepover and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

  My PayPal account has been receiving penny donations every day 20 times a day for over a year now from random accounts that I assume had their accounts stolen. I contacted PayPal multiple times to which they told me “we are aware, just do nothing” They then locked my account, I had to prove it was me not stealing money by providing info I shouldn’t have had to provide. I got that resolved. Today my account was permanently disabled due to the fraud that I reported numerous times to which they say I can’t appeal. TLDR: I report issue to PayPal, they fix nothing, they ban my account. What a dogshit company. Absolute scum of the earth.

  @NthandaManduwi @phethani4 I've been reading an excellent book recently, How China escaped the Poverty trap, and people always hold them as the gold standard for institutional capacity and state led economic progress, but that wasn't true at all in the beginning, strong institutions aren't created by will, they need a country with economic development, the issue there is, they are codependent, more state capacity, better economic condition, and vice versa. And her main idea there is,. Don't see weak institutions as only a disadvantage, they are great for creating new markets, and those new markets create economic development, which improves state development. We see Africa's slow moving, and weak institutions and bureaucracy as a problem to solve and then we get progress, instead of seeing, maybe there's an opportunity somewhere in here. A good case in point would be, that Stripe and PayPal don't work in 90% if African countries, because they are so bureaucratic and slow moving, Stripe has to acquire fintechs already operating in Nigeria. But when a new technology comes along, like crypto, and there is no machinery to regulate it, weaker institutions don't have the capacity to regulate it and it operates in the grey areas. This is why although Binance for example got kicked out of Europe a lot of the time and had trouble in the US, strong institutions are actively very strong in maintaining the old way, and they brought hell to a new technology company like binance. While Binance just freely operates all over Africa, and only recently did only Nigeria crack down, while it's a great new technology that allows Africans to do a lot of things (like in my case be paid for doing international work). And this is precisely why I think Startups can be Africa's future, especially in probably technology(entirely now ways and cases of solving problems). And not globalization, which is just taking something that works on X place and taking it to another place, like Stripe and PayPal. And I'm sure there are many other cases of technology working in Africa (Zipline Drones, or the original M-pesa) with this mechanism. I firmly believe Africans have the talent

  At this point, using @PayPal feels less like a payment service and more like a full-time verification job. Upload ID. Explain the business. Upload documents. Wait. Get limited. Contact support. Escalate. Wait again. Repeat. I’m trying to RUN a business, not apply for citizenship every time I receive a payment. How is a global payment platform supposed to help businesses grow when legitimate customers have to constantly prove they exist? @PayPal — seriously, fix your account review and limitation system.
