  ⚡ PayPal and Google Cloud just said agentic commerce at scale needs crypto rails. Open payment protocols. Machine-readable catalogs. Multi-party custody. Translation: AI agents buying and selling autonomously can't run on legacy banking. Too slow, too closed, too human. This isn't hype. This is infrastructure mapping. #Crypto #Payments 👉 @coingonet

  @PramilaJayapal How did immigration/immigrants happen, Paypal? On your big, fat scheming watch. This is on you, so do something to fix it. You opened the borders intentionally to do exactly what you are trying to do. Trying to flip the switch, are ya? Shocker. This is on you. ****** plan for votes. Mass immigration is warfare on the United States of America and you don't give a sh*t. Gross, manipulative, insulting boondoggle.

  $PYPL is cutting 4,500 jobs. 20% of the entire company. Phased over 2-3 years. They're splitting into three divisions. Checkout and PayPal. Consumer and Venmo. And a dedicated crypto unit running PYUSD. Stock is down 45% this year. Revenue beat estimates last quarter. They're firing people anyway. The new CEO calls it "becoming a technology company again." They're going cloud-native, rebuilding the tech platform, and replacing workflows with AI. ✅ Checkout Solutions . PayPal core ✅ Consumer Financial Services . Venmo ✅ Payment Services . Crypto and PYUSD 1.5 billion in cost savings. 4,500 people paying for it. The largest fintech workforce cut of 2026. Bigger than SQ Block's 4,000 in February. Bigger than COIN's 700 this week.

  EDIT: Due to a recent error with paypal, I will not be taking specifically invoices. You can however still use the paypal link I give you, or ko-fi. (I lost $40. It was not the commissioner's fault at all, this was entirely paypal being buggy)

  @jd_choco_fac Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm having trouble purchasing the game through PayPal or other methods that involve foreign currency. Do you plan to release it on Steam? That way it would be easier to access.

  @real_matawalle @nombahq Many people are having similar issues. They would gaslight you until you forget the money. I have multiple transactions on hold sinmce March. They release some and hold some. @nombahq , is there a secret rule being violated behind the scene unknown to users? THIS IS LIKE PAYPAL!

  @msimoni Eeeh there is plenty of precedent of complexity: - Lookalike collisions and fakes ("paypal" with cyrillic letters) - Unicode normalization forms C vs D - Whitespace characters that are or aren't spaces themselves (like vertical tab but way worse) - Composite characters and emoji with zero-width joiners - Search and collation being locale dependent If you have e.g. string interpolation in a language you also need to handle that "properly" inline. Doing it well means being well versed in the Unicode spec. I think what most prefer to do instead is segregate all non-ascii characters from the syntax. That's a solution but it can cause issues in certain locales.

  PayPal just cut 20% of staff. Coinbase cut 14%. Both said the same thing: "We're moving to smaller, AI-augmented teams." This isn't a future problem. This is happening right now. The people who learn AI tools today won't be the ones replaced tomorrow. What are you doing about it?

  @Muthannaa_ @alexoakdev @squadletics Yeah Stripe doesn't allow paying for stuff like this. But even if they did, there's more problems - for example, I don't know how it's possible to do payouts to users through Stripe? I think technically you could use paypal etc., but you literally become a bank. Smart contracts and stablecoins is the only real solution for this model, probably

  Which lawsuit do you want to know about first? 1. PayPal for public debanking and life destruction? 2. Ebby Halliday for 5 yr monetize defamation in DFW? 3. AUSA Scott Free Gmail Fabrication in DC? 4. Writ of Error in DC from J6? LMK.

  @trueusagoods I placed an order with this company. I am now trying to cancel it. The website changed the color of what I ordered, it decided to run my credit card through Paypal even though I clicked Paypal off, and it has a wierd “add a tip” that defaults to adding a tip unless you use the custom function to say zero, I guess? Also, the payment goes through to an individual name rather than the name of the company. I would overlook one of these errors but not all of them. I’ve requested the order be cancelled, if it works I will update.

  If an artist begins to raise red flags by ghosting you, issue a chargeback. It’s always remarkable how fast people reply when you do so!! Please don’t give people blind trust and wait several months for the PayPal time limit to run out!! 🫠 and then you’ll be left on the hook

  ENS DAO / ENS Labs should be doing everything possible to get exchanges, PayPal, neobanks, and fintech apps deeply integrated into the ENS ecosystem — even if it means offering extremely attractive partnership deals. Because the real problem is not naming. It’s trust, onboarding, privacy, and distribution. Creating ENS subnames is a great idea in theory. But let’s be honest for a second: most normal people are not crypto natives. Many of us who have been in crypto for years have seen: phishing attacks malicious smart contracts fake websites wallet drainers fake approvals browser exploits millions lost in seconds Even experienced users still get caught. So imagine the average PayPal or banking user. Why would they trust random independent websites asking them to connect wallets and sign smart contracts just to register a subname? I’m fully pro open ecosystem and small independent builders. But mainstream adoption does not happen through fear and confusion. It happens through trusted interfaces people already use daily. That’s why ENS should aggressively push partnerships where: PayPal Coinbase Binance Revolut Wise Robinhood banks neobanks can directly: register ENS names issue subnames manage renewals handle recovery abstract wallets simplify onboarding Now imagine the next layer: A user binds their ENS name or subname directly to their exchange or PayPal account. On the backend: the platform handles wallet infrastructure privacy becomes far better protected users avoid exposing public wallet activity directly recovery becomes easier compliance becomes easier onboarding becomes massively simpler Most people do NOT want to become crypto security experts. They just want: simple usernames easy payments trusted recovery privacy low friction ENS should stop thinking only like a protocol and start thinking like internet infrastructure. The winner is not the most decentralized product. The winner is the one that removes the most friction while keeping enough decentralization underneath. If ENS really wants .eth adoption at scale, the goal should be: “People use ENS without even realizing they are using blockchain.” That only happens through distribution partnerships.
