  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.

  Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reported 22 minutes ago

  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  7/ Conclusion: The current PayPal x mFaisa collab is not solving the actual problem faced by creators as it's still not providing PayPal merchant services. It's just enabling using mFaisa with PayPal and allowing to receive personal payments from international PayPal accounts.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

  My biggest problem wasn't analytics. It was integration. Stripe still isn't available in my country, unfortunately. Most of my businesses run on WordPress with local payment gateways, PayPal, WooCommerce, FluentCart, and Easy Digital Downloads. The analytics tools I used weren't built around that setup.

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal Paypal goin down hill...they have a policy if you use PayPal money to spread what they say is misinformation, you get fined like 2k a month or something...so if u used PayPal to buy a billboard that said the 2020 election was stolen, you would be fined.

  Silicon Salvage (@SiliconSalvage) reported 47 minutes ago

  Two payments stocks. Nearly the same share price. Completely opposite bets. $PYPL: $42, 7.9x earnings. $FOUR: $39, 45x earnings. Same sector, same ~$40 sticker price — but the market pays ~6x more per dollar of profit for Shift4 than for PayPal. Both got hit today ($PYPL -3.6%, $FOUR -5.2%), but Shift4’s down 64% from its high vs. 47% for PayPal. So which would you rather own at $40: the slow giant priced for death, or the fast grower still at a premium after a 64% crash?

  @Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔
