  @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.

  Sweep (@0xSweep) reported 23 minutes ago

  This guy opened his PayPal and found $92 QUADRILLION in his account For exactly 2 minutes he was the richest man in human history His name is Chris Reynolds, a PR guy from Pennsylvania who used PayPal to sell vintage car parts and had never held more than $1,000 in his account Then in June 2013 his monthly statement arrived showing a balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800 That's over a million times the fortune of the richest man alive at the time and more than 1,000x the GDP of the entire planet It also showed up as a NEGATIVE number, meaning for a moment Chris technically owed the largest debt in human history He logged in to check and his real balance was $0.00 But that exact number wasn't random, it was a fingerprint of what broke inside PayPal's machines The biggest number a standard 64 bit computer can physically hold is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 Banks count money in cents instead of dollars to avoid rounding errors Treat that maximum number as cents, divide by 100, and you land almost exactly on Chris's balance His account didn't glitch to some random figure, it got pinned to the mathematical ceiling of what a computer can count The same type of error blew up Europe's Ariane 5 rocket 40 seconds after launch in 1996, the flagship of an $8 billion space program destroyed because a number didn't fit in its box And in 2012 one forgotten piece of old code cost trading firm Knight Capital $440 million in 45 minutes When reporters asked Chris what he would have done with the money, he said he'd pay off the entire US national debt and then buy himself a baseball team "If I get a great price" For 2 minutes he was worth more than every economy on Earth combined and it couldn't buy him a single coffee

  @BowTiedKong I think banking regulations mandate the involvement of some physical clearing houses for an "online" transfer Why not just use ravens to transfer the funds? Another issue is PayPal holding people's funds hostage whenever they feel like it, apparently

  So last month I had 5 people interested in commissioning me. One had PayPal issue, one I made the doodle, one wanted to work with me... All of them ghosted me, nobody paid, or told me they weren't interested. So I'm wondering if I should just stop making commissions.

  E get one method I was using to create PayPal accounts last year. Link bank to it and use it without issues. Let me try it again and see, if it works, I will share how to do it. Instead of selling your hard earned survey funds to dealers at a low rate, you will learn how to create your own PayPal account and withdraw your money at official rate to your Nigerian bank account. Small small, I will give you everything you need to be self sufficient online. It will take time, but you will definitely get it from me. P.S: image is not mine. Random screenshot from Twitter here.

  @AndreaTaz4ever2 Unfortunately, I’m having some trouble with the PayPal. I put in a test amount tried to send it to you and was told that my device wasn’t recognized. With PayPal my device is always recognized. Unfortunately I’m not going to change my password or put in any other bank or credit card information. Not saying you did it or up to anything but having trouble.

  Money becomes useless to an autonomous agent when it gets trapped in the wrong financial system An agent might: earn $500 through a checkout provider hold $200 in USDC have a card issued by another provider need to pay a SaaS merchant that only accepts cards Those are all "money" but operationally they are different islands Customer pays → money sits in Provider A Agent needs to spend → purchasing power exists in Provider B So WE (Humans) have to move/reconfigure/fund things for our AI agents An their autonomy breaks... The hard problem isn't giving an agent money It's making sure money earned in one system can become purchasing power in another without a human moving it Earn here → hold there → spend somewhere else → keep going An agent should be able to earn through one provider, hold value somewhere else, move that value when needed, spend through another rail, and keep reinvesting what it earns without a human stepping in to bridge the gaps My goal with Mandate is to give autonomous AI agents economic freedom I want anyone to be able to deploy intelligence that can create value, earn from that value, reinvest what it earns, and compound it into something bigger over time That's why Mandate had to be open source and provider agnostic No single financial provider covers every way an agent might earn, hold, move, or spend money One agent might receive revenue through Stripe, hold USDC in Coinbase, spend through Lithic, and use a bridge in between. Another might use entirely different providers Receive: Stripe / PayPal / stablecoins / marketplace payouts Hold: bank / financial account / wallet / stablecoin treasury Move: ACH / wire / bridge / onchain transfer Spend: card / bank transfer / stablecoin / x402 Mandate financial stack is composable: providers supply capabilities, Mandate connects them, and the agent sees one economic system You can connects whichever providers you choose into one continuous economic account Because autonomous agents won't operate in a crypto-only or fiat-only world. Crypto alone can't solve economic autonomy when most of the world an agent needs to operate in still runs on fiat, cards, and banks Fiat alone can't solve it either, because agents will increasingly use payment systems built for machine-to-machine commerce. The future is hybrid. The infrastructure has to be composable. I built Mandate so that an agent can operate across both as one continuous economy

  I'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!

  In 2003 a thirty-two-year-old Elon Musk gave the Stanford talk founders still pass around twenty years later. He was invited to speak at Stanford's Graduate School of Business by a class of MBA students who wanted to hear from someone actually building companies instead of teaching cases about them. He walked in, sat down, and talked for forty-five minutes without a single slide. By that point he had already sold Zip2 to Compaq for three hundred and seven million dollars and had cleared roughly one hundred and eighty million from the PayPal sale to eBay the year before. He had used most of that money to start SpaceX in the spring of 2002. In the fall of 2003, SpaceX had zero launches, roughly thirty employees, and a runway that was going to run out inside two years. He talked about how to start a company when nobody believes in the market. How to cut costs when the cash pile is shrinking every week. How to think from first principles instead of from analogy. How to stay alive long enough for luck to matter. The most striking part of the tape is not the advice. It is the tone. He is calm. He is quiet. He is thirty-two years old and running a company that is trying to build rockets, and he speaks about it the way a project manager describes a Kanban board. Twenty years later that same man owns SpaceX, Tesla, xAI and X. His net worth crossed four hundred billion dollars at the end of 2024. The rocket company he was running on empty in 2003 now launches more mass into orbit than the rest of the world combined. The talk is on YouTube. It has been posted, taken down, reposted, and re-uploaded dozens of times. It never breaks a hundred thousand views on any single upload because it does not have a thumbnail hook or a title that promises secrets. It is just forty-five minutes of a man who had not yet become anything explaining, in flat prose, how to survive when nobody has backed you yet. I watched it for the first time in 2019 during a stretch of my own company where I was three months from running out of cash. Nothing in the talk was tactical enough to save me. What it did do was give me permission to keep going for another quarter, which turned out to be all I needed. The Musk who gave that talk did not know what he would become. Neither did the students in the room. That is the actual value of the tape. You watch him before he was Elon Musk.

  Been holding base:0x5576d6ed9181f2225aff5282ac0ed29f755437ea since way back, and they've done nothing but put their head down and ship the whole time. Now they've got a seat at the table with Mastercard, PayPal and HSBC on agentic payments. Grabbed some more today.

  9/ My read after twenty years across PayPal, Mastercard, and Gojek: a table like Bernstein's tells you whether a rail is broken or just underpriced for its next stage. UPI's own numbers, including the ones already working quietly inside it, say underpriced, not broken.

  @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.
