  I bet he wishes he didn’t have to sell the ones he did. However I think he did that on purpose to drive the price down to buy more. Based on math the supply should be just about gobbled up. With what you can do with bitcoin it is clearly a utility and not going away. Who in there right mind would sell with all the major brokers now selling bitcoin ??? Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, Venmo, PayPal Morgan Stanley it’s only a matter of time keep buying and stacking

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.

  I was 333rd in the queue. Got kicked out. Went back in at 22900, waited till it down to let me back in. Put the wrong code in. Couldn't claim anywhere near my normal seats and ended up in the Riverbank, then it wouldn't submit payment and I had to switch to Paypal. FFS

  Nigerians don't have a sense of accountability and lack self introspection, Shoprite, PayPal, tiktok,etc had problems in Nigeria guess they couldn't compete according to them

  @TechX1320 @linuxuser1996 PayPal works on GrapheneOS with the per-app compatibility mode. It recently started requiring disabling secure spawning but works fine with the other defaults. It's a bug in PayPal's anti-tampering code and they'll likely fix it soon. It's unrelated to it not working elsewhere.

  Former CEO of PayPal + Inuit Bill Harris on Moneywise today. He broke down his portfolio and expenses (and what it was like working w/ Elon + thiel. - Net worth: ~$100m. Divorce cut it roughly in half - ~$50m in operating companies he's starting, ~$25m diversified securities, ~$25m bonds. No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

  @PeterDiamandis Very few people know that Elon had funded SpaceX largely with his own money from the PayPal sale. He invested about 100 million dollars of personal fortune into the company. After three Falcon 1 failures cash was nearly gone. The team assembled one last rocket from leftover parts. That fourth flight on September 28, 2008 had to succeed or SpaceX would have shut down.

  @Washen_D A business PayPal is how I see a lot of people do it. If you're willing to go through the trouble of getting an artist code, you can try getting a VGen code as well to manage requests better.

  @bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

  @MasterBolaji Nigerians and no sense of accountability,you used to say the same about Shoprite. Even tiktok or PayPal had problems in Nigeria doing well in other countries but Nah Nigerians are not the problem

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  @solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  Is it just me having this problem with @PayPal ? Historically, Ybug has been accepting EUR payments via PayPal. Back then, it seemed like a great idea with "free" withdrawals to a bank account, right? Big mistake. Turns out PayPal refuses to withdraw funds in any currency other than your company's local currency (CZK for a Czech-based company). And of course, they charge a massive currency conversion fee to do so. Since I don't want or need these funds in CZK, my money is effectively trapped. Anyone else in the same boat?

  @2wintails hi! sorry for asking directly, i'm having trouble purchasing your model. i've been taking commissions and saving money on my paypal balance, but since our currencies don't match paypal doesn't allow me to pay with my balance and is locking me into paying with credit card instead+

  Hey @PayPal, why do your customer service agents keep dodging me? Three separate agents have abruptly closed our chat today right when I asked them to resolve my issue This is incredibly frustrating. Please DM me so I can actually get some real help #CustomerService #BadService

  @linuxuser1996 And if you can't live without it that Paypal isn't able anymore to get money out of you ,you still can use it as a PWA without problems. The ppl who want everything, cloud, KI auto-features, face recognition etc. , despite GOS handling most should maybe have a stock as 2. phone

  @shrugdeaIer URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

  @Immorta1Monarch This is why i use vgen and vgen payments at least i can click ‘theres a problem’ before the funds are released to them. Yes it may mean theres less artists for me to com but at least theres a fallback unlike paypal.
