  @codeofvets @PayPal Hey, @PayPal, what's your problem? Helping veterans should be a top priority, shouldn't it? Figure it out.

  @TutaPrivacy Wise for international transfers, Revolut for everyday use. But the PayPal breach is a good reminder that the payment layer isn't the only thing worth auditing- most people lock down their payments before they think about what their calendar or contacts are leaking.

  And here it comes, part by part PayPal is winding down its venture arm.

  @Saladinbraham Reminds me of PayPal. Growing business. Low pe/ forward pe. They are buying back shares. Cheapest multiple in years. Market just doesn’t care. Down/ sideways for years. Adobe can do the same.

  @klose_alfred @myaltfr @myaltfr do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  @raxkadess Girls, don't trust him. He asks to pay through PayPal Goods and Services just to file for a refund later. Plus, he reports accounts. Save yourselves the trouble and don't sell to him #buyingcontent

  If she has PayPal business account, they might be convinced into asking for a business name, number and address. They typically don't require it for a small business account (there might be a monetary window) but they can ask for that info. If she has personal only account, PayPal will not issue anything for CRA, and that's how she is evading declaring her $ gifts. It's crazy that her account has not been flagged BC she gets so much cash AND that she was collecting money in Syria

  It’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.

  @Brownmoose Nope it can easily turn into PayPal or Adobe. If I had to buy anything that’s been beaten down it’ll be Microsoft.

  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal What happened? I saw that they locked you down this morning, but then saw that you got access back. They got you again after that?

  @Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal Paypal goin down hill...they have a policy if you use PayPal money to spread what they say is misinformation, you get fined like 2k a month or something...so if u used PayPal to buy a billboard that said the 2020 election was stolen, you would be fined.

  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  Uhh, so I have a problem…I tried to set up a PayPal account for Ko-Fi, but PayPal immediately flagged my account with suspicious activity as soon as I made it. I don't have an ID. What ******** do I do???
