Worst Boyfriend Ever (@TwinkBukowski) reportedI slept in the same bed as my mom last night. We tried to find something on Roku to watch but there was nothing worth watching and so we quit, and I just fell asleep at 9 pm. She asked me how Japan went and I said fine. I had fun. She said how you doing on money and I said fine. She said you know you’re going to have to pay taxes on that “meme coin” from January right? I said yes of course. She said you’re not in trouble are you? I said no I’m fine. Truth is I’m in so much trouble I wouldn’t even know where to start. I just looked at myself in the mirror and saw a disheveled cave man. I used to see my father but now I see something somehow even worse. That girl who sent a $1k donation just disputed the charge and I fear she’s going to win the dispute. I owe money to Verizon, the government, my bank, a girlfriend rental service in Japan I financed via PayPal, Stripe, dozens and dozens, scores even, of parking tickets all in different states, speeding tickets, toll fees, and that’s not even to mention the rapes. These past few weeks I’ve realized that I will not be able to outrun these crimes forever, everything I’ve done for this blog. Eventually one of these girls will try really hard to punish me for something—more likely a guy actually—and they will succeed. And more people will be happy than sad about it, that they finally got me, that this all finally ends. I can only hope, in that moment the blue and red lights are shining outside my door, that one of the happy people is me.

0xAI42.exe (@0xAI42exe) reportedA $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

EMI. 🩷 (@Emistations) reportedRegarding my issue with PayPal, seems like I'll need to wait it out and get a new card So until then I Won't be opening commissions

Mini Modu (@MinModulation) reportedWhat specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

me espresso (@zingingcutie22) reported@femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

Glacea13 (@Glacea13) reported@playasia There seems to be a problem right now. I'm trying to do orders right now, and the only payment option is crypto. Even paypal won't work.

Yuuj (@Yuujers) reported@housesarebig @CTCG_DZiden Not disagreeing on last minute travel being more expensive, just something that is an option if you want to play in it. It isn't more difficult for a foreigner, its just.. more expensive. Which could be drastically alleviated by lottery starting earlier and results coming out earlier. At that point, you really aren't really locked out. But its the same for CN players trying to play other regionals. Lets only take PayPal, and not credit cards. Paypal CN/Global is different, it doesn't work for Chinese. Oh too bad tickets gone. hehe xD. Not to mention we don't have skirmishes so we have to play round 1. (good change btw). Not defending anything. There are issues with the systems being used, but playing in China is perfectly doable and not difficult. Many players have done so, and I've walked plenty of people through the process.

Maksym Voskresenskyy (@maxvoskr1) reported@Uzwzp63636 @ariaradnia @weary_centurion For sure. He has attacked PayPal holders while his “100s” hours of research spent on adobe is performing -22% ytd while PayPal is not even down this year. These cocky kids will stop posting completely when we hit a longer term market correction.

WeirdDeplorableScumbagGarbageMAGAt (@jsaultz) reported@AskCiti She finally got answered after 3½ hours. Then the representative was useless. The rep basically said it's a PayPal problem, even though the charge doesn't exist in her PayPal. She's reported the card as stolen now. She can't dispute the PayPal charge because it doesn't show.
-
blarby (@darbya09) reported@CardCash On two occasions, I've gotten demand emails from your loss prevention team. Zero effort to get to the buttom of what happened. Just threats and PayPal invoice due immediately. I've sold tens of thousands worth of gift cards with zero issues. Unfortunately, there is no seller protection so I'll be closing my account and recommend everyone else do the same.

Oblivion (@Oblivion_OnX) reported@Enurfase Paypal is probably 4 steps from clicking the donation to sending the money, I don't think it's that difficult. Has to be a user error or something
-
Middle Age Muddle (@DianaVGalbraith) reportedI've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!

ARUN KUMAR SINGH (@ARUNKUMAR711994) reportedbeen limited without any clear reason, especially when there has been no transaction activity on the account. This limitation is causing me significant problems. I need to add my PayPal account details to several freelancing platforms so that I can receive payments for my work.

Grey-Dee! (@DefGrady) reportedJust paid for my tachyon kuripan on amiami. When I pay with paypal it just says "we recognize you on this device, so you skip login" I'm such a frequent buyer hashtag swag....

The coin will be back by gold , you can redeem them with gold, you can buy anything with it too . this social media must with its own payment , not rely on swift or PayPal strip

LibertyBelle (@LibertyBelle_CA) reported@mitchellvii I lost my PayPal card because I never use it. My credit score went down one point, came back up again. I stopped using because I use Apple wallet. Also the way PayPal bills, if you do use it, is ridiculous. It is easy to forget or overlook. To me, it was just unnecessary bill to remember. I don’t miss it.

KS (@FGshorts) reportedYes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

Abul Hasanat Manik (@ahmanikdu47) reportedPrivacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain @Americanfort_io

Antiwork (@Antiworkship) reported@DhawaleVikrant I really don't care People who are worried about CJP's foreign funding are the guys who think protest is illigitimate The cause is real, 25+ kids have died, this was 152nd paper leak under Pradhan. Over 1L kids have died in last 12 yrs. There are issues related to UGC implementation + resevation.... If these are regular thing for you then you don't want accountability or change and then you should spend your energy on finding source of funds Btw not a single $ can enter via traditional routes (WIRE, SWIFT, PAYPAL....) without govt knowing it. Crypto was a loophole which has been now completely plugged. All transactions have a purpose code. Govt knows everything They just behave retardedly for their retarded supporters
