  @TheRonnieVShow As a value investor, I felt personally attacked, lol. Always invest at the right price. I did invest in PayPal when it was at $40 this year, because at that price, it did represent great value. I got criticized for buying a stock that had went down and down, not easy.

  Facebook market place reselling flip this week: $1500 - buy price $2700 - sell price $1200 - net profit Dell Poweredge Server R730xd w/ 768GB RAM (24x32GB) When I saw this post to fb I had to get the exact RAM config right away. Seller was fast and once I had the exact specs I text a pic to my memory buyer. He came back with a $100 per module. Right away I knew I could spend $1500 and get $2400 on the RAM. I offer $1200 on the server. Saw that the seller had seen the message but no response. Waited two hours but didn't want to loose the sale. Offered asking price and arranged to meet that evening. Ate a little on paypal fees for the $2400 but the buyer covers the minimal shipping charge. Will sell the server on fb marketplace for around $300. Quick flip. Electronics aren't the easiest resell but if you know what you're looking at then there can be a lot of upside. Definitely not a resale asset class to sleep on.

  @coinbureau PayPal stock is down almost 90% from its 2021 peak and they just turned down $53B to hold out for $70/share. That's not leverage, that's betting the turnaround works before Stripe walks. We'll know within a year.

  🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  @meowabri REALLY🙁 i'm so sorry to hear that, i'm here for you. With what did you pay? You could ask for a refund to the site if you commissioned them through Paypal for example. I haven't seen Tiktok take the account down sadly... i'm really sorry this happended to you

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @RoryCrave How is that larping? OpenRouter $150M rev can 10x in a few years no problem + $35B from PayPal trading at 1.5x rev and P/E 11x with 24000 employees has a lot of potential. And with stripe doing $7B+ they can easily IPO at 20x rev Please explain how that wouldn’t work?

  Most people would have taken the money and slowed down. Musk did the opposite. He put around $12 million into his next company, X. com, an online financial services business. X. com eventually merged with Confinity, which had created PayPal. In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock. Musk’s share was roughly $175 million. Instead of retiring, he put much of his money into three extremely risky ideas: SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity.

  @bernarditoro_ You can fix product perception by building a product to global standards. Why should I target Nigerians for a SaaS aimed at solving a global problem when I can use Flutterwave for USD checkout or recurring plans? It even has a Pay with PayPal feature bro.

  Freelancers are losing weekends to a spreadsheet, a shoebox, and a prayer. Built Tallyward to fix that. A 24/7 autonomous bookkeeping agent that categorizes transactions, chases overdue invoices, and reconciles Stripe, PayPal, and marketplace payouts — then drops a clean P&L in

  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.
