  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  @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.

  @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.

  @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

  The problem? The payments space is already crowded. Venmo. Cash App. Apple Cash. Zelle. PayPal. Everyone already has something that works. So X Money has to be better than just "send money." ⌯⌲

  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

  Value Investor (@ValueInvestShow) reported 44 minutes ago

  I actually think one of the clearest signs of confidence is what management is doing with capital at $PYPL This company is deploying every spare dollar of FCF into buybacks, and if the current setup persists, it can retire something like 14% of shares a year. That is not how you behave if you think the business is broken beyond repair. It is how you behave when you think the stock is much cheaper than the business. PayPal does not need to become the next hypergrowth story. It just needs to keep shrinking the float while the market eventually wakes up (if it ever does)

  7-Day App Store Ship Challenge Prize pot: $300 | 10 app builders | 1 clear winner Core Concept 10 independent app builders compete head-to-head. The single goal: build + ship a real, original iOS app that goes live on the Apple App Store within exactly 7 days. Only one person can win the entire $300 pot. No points system, no fancy features required — pure speed-to-live-app wins. Exact Winning Condition (so only one person wins) Build any original simple app (todo list, habit tracker, tip calculator, unit converter, etc. — nothing complex). Submit it to App Store Connect. Get it approved and publicly live on the App Store. Be the first participant to post public proof in the group chat/Discord:Live App Store link Screenshot of the app page showing “Available on the App Store” Timestamp of approval email from Apple First verified live app = automatic winner of the full $300. If two people go live on the same day, the earlier approval timestamp wins. If somehow nobody succeeds in 7 days → pot rolls over or is split equally (your choice). 7-Day Timeline Day 0 (kickoff): Everyone pays entry + gets Apple Developer account ready ($99/year required). Days 1–5: Build + test + prepare screenshots, privacy policy, description. Day 6: Latest possible submission deadline (gives Apple ~24–48 h review window). Day 7 (midnight UTC): Competition ends. First verified live app wins. Entry & Pot Rules Exactly 10 spots. Each person puts in $30 → $300 pot. Money collected upfront (PayPal/Wise/crypto) into a shared escrow or trusted organizer account. No refunds after Day 0. Money Payout Terms (clear & simple) Winner must provide: Live App Store link Apple approval email screenshot Short screen recording of the app opening from the App Store Once verified by the group (or 2 neutral judges): Full $300 is sent within 24 hours via the same method the winner prefers (PayPal, Wise, bank, USDC, etc.). Organizer takes $0 cut. If the winner used a no-code tool or template, it still counts as long as the app is original and live under their account. Suggested Simple Apps That Can Actually Ship in 7 Days Daily water tracker Random quote / affirmation generator Tip & bill splitter Simple habit streak counter Unit converter (weight, length, temperature) Use SwiftUI + Xcode (fastest for pure iOS) or Flutter if you already know it. Avoid anything that needs backend, login, or heavy graphics. Extra Protection Rules App must be original (no copy-paste of existing public apps). Must use your own Apple Developer account. No paid marketing or fake reviews during the 7 days.
