  I am $24,000 in debt at 18 years old and I need help. This isn’t any gimmick, i’ve made some big poor choices at a young age and I have and am still learning through but the monetary number itself is a mountain for me to get rid of in my current situation as i’m heading into college with this on my shoulders. I already know I need to work my *** off and this is my own problem that will take a long time, but truthfully this **** is hard. Im putting this out there for anyone who has the ability/want, to help me out a little no matter what the ammount is, aswell as if you want it returned to you, we can connect and talk about a casual repayment plan. Cashapp: $Sstonuttt For zelle,venmo, paypal, crpyto, or any other option dm me please

  @benwegmann I’ve sold nine phones on Swappa and probably a dozen things on OfferUp and Craigslist over the years, I’ve never once had a problem. I’ve tried selling things on eBay TWICE and both times the seller attempted to scam me. eBay and PayPal are a cesspit

  I have a little problems with PayPal, an agreement on this position of timely delays. This does not affect the already accepted agreement, due to insolvency!

  My PayPal account is still not working. I was told to wait 72 hours before trying to send money but still it doesn't work. However, I was able to pay for something I purchased from eBay without any problems. @AskPayPal

  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL . Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder maximizing value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  The best decision PayPal ever made came out of a clash between its leaders. Max Levchin wanted to build security software for Palm Pilots.  Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and pushed back hard.  Neither softened the message. Neither backed down easily. Out of that collision came a pivot to sending money over email that led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. Reid Hoffman described the culture simply: "We had a culture of arguing to improve the idea. It wasn't personal. It was about making the best product possible." That's the model. Fight for your position, stay open to being wrong, and let the best idea win. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things get built.

  @coinbureau PayPal stock is down almost 90% from its 2021 peak and they just turned down $53B to hold out for $70/share. That's not leverage, that's betting the turnaround works before Stripe walks. We'll know within a year.

  Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

  @PayPal @Mastercard Paypal shut down my account that I had used since 2015, mainly to purchase software and claimed I had used the account in some nefarious way, but provided zero documentation.

  @SecretsofMaine It was seen all over the world. I had 10 boxes of physical mail in my closet from every country you can name. Even one from China. Then they just shut me down. BOOM. In 24 hours I lost paypal and youtube. That's how they do it when you're not in the club.
