  @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.

  PayPal just dropped 18% pre-market Stripe and Advent walked away from the $50B+ buyout, according to bloomberg and honestly, this hurts because a lot of PayPal’s 40% rally this quarter was driven by takeover hopes, not some massive turnaround in the business WSJ reported that PayPal thought the first offer was too low and pushed for more. they held out for a better deal and ended up with nothing. that’s the risk with saying no in M&A. now the market cap is around $52.6B, basically where the offer was. except there’s no buyer left to support that valuation. the old problems are still there too. PayPal was way ahead in digital payments, but Apple, alphabet and others have been slowly eating into that lead this isn’t really about PayPal suddenly getting worse today. it’s the market realizing the bailout deal isn’t coming.

  @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+

  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.

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.

  I was invited to a server on Discord that I knew absolutely nothing about. The server is called 'Eboost', and it sells things like Discord Nitro, skins and in-game items. I’ve already purchased a one-year subscription to Discord Nitro, and as all payments are made via PayPal, it’s a server I have no use for. However, one day, the Eboost server was suddenly reported to Discord on suspicion of ‘fraud’, and my account was temporarily suspended simply because I had inadvertently joined that server. How am I to be compensated for the damage caused—such as the suspension and the flags attached to my account—by the server owner’s negligence on a server where I wasn’t even active? I’ve lodged an appeal, but Discord simply keeps repeating the same 'AI-automated-macro' response. And this isn’t the first time this has happened. Are people really expected to use Discord whilst factoring in the probability that a server owner might cause problems? It’s utterly unfair. 😡😡 @discord @discord_support @DiscordBuild

  GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported 36 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  @JimManahan Receiving payments restricts your account. If you use PayPal for purchases meaning money going out from your linked cards, then there's no problem. Receiving payments from clients is a different discussion, especially when your account is new.

  @Venmo is the worst, most useless digital wallet It blocks payments, no explanation, useless for non-profits unless linked to a volunteers personal account. Business use - a joke. All you have to do is move money. Why wouldn’t @PayPal shut it down

  @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.
