  27-year-old Elon Musk paid $200 a month for a leaky roof office and slept in it because it was cheaper than an apartment. Summer of 1995, no money, no income, so he showered at the YMCA for 4 months and worked out of the nastiest place you can imagine. The office had 1 hidden advantage an internet provider sat on the floor below, so he drilled a hole in the concrete and plugged straight into their server for near-free bandwidth. He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either, so he read a white paper and wrote an emulator, skipped the web server entirely to save CPU cycles, read port 8080 directly, and coded the first national maps, directions and yellow pages on the internet that summer in C with a little C++. The company was Zip2 online city guides, where to eat, how to get around. By 1998 CBS came to film the vintage Jaguar, the 6-figure salary, the dog, the house, the girlfriend, and a market Microsoft had tried to enter and failed. Then the reporter asked the standard 1998 question where is the internet going? The 27-year-old answered like he’d already seen the ending: “The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.” That was 28 years ago and he was describing a feed. A year later Zip2 sold for $307M, the money became X com, X com became PayPal, and PayPal became rockets. It all started with a drill and the server downstairs.

  @FinanceNinjaB @DavidSacks Paypal’s biggest issue is its brand name is on a decline - similar to eBay in warly 2020’s. They have solid foundation but a lot of headwind in growth. Not sure if they can get the process targrt you are looking for with the current state.

Japan just legalized crypto. Stripe is buying PayPal. The story hasn’t changed. Only the price has. 💎 What are YOU focused on this weekend? 👇

  @Toast6634 Oh I had a very fast similar talk with Leaflit about this I prefer saying first that I'm against AI, because I think most people are using it so badly they're actively dumbing themselves, and now, young people coming out of high school don't even know how to write 'cause they've trusted their entire lives with ChatGPT or whatever, making them genuinely low IQ, and I say this in the nicest way possible, but they are very, very difficult to interact with. And you might think I'm only talking about text prompts, but visually creativity is a skill and a form of intelligence that is very very heavily underestimated, and that is factually helpful in real life... These young people can't even concentrate on one task for more than a minute, it's alarming But as we say, hate the game, not the player, if someone used AI as a reference and still choses to work with an artist after, I think they should be treated like any other commissioners, because they still chose to come to you ! It's always an honor when people think of me for their characters Though I do understand the fear of being scammed (I'm not sure if it's known outside, but there are a lot of scammers that ask an artist for a comm, take the sketch, don't pay (cause generally artists allow not paying until the sketch) and run it through AI to have a "better result") (there are also bot commissioners, that uses AI made characters to scam artists by executing a chargeback on PayPal) , so I understand if people don't want to go through this and refuse the commission Though I will say, as an artist, you have to stay professional if you want to make money out of it, making it public is in my opinion lacking maturity and professionalism Either way I think Pro AI people and Anti AI people should make love and bring peace to the world right now cause we have bigger issues at hand

  Every TCG Discord runs on the same broken ritual DM a stranger, scroll a "vouch" channel hoping their trade history isn't faked, then Venmo/PayPal them and pray. I run a TCG community (Pokémon/One Piece/Riftbound) this happens 20x a day for $5–$150 trades: pulls, splits, breaks. Building Sleeved to fix it. Not for whales moving graded slabs (Collector Crypt already owns that), this is for everyone else's raw card trades that PayPal fees and fake vouches don't serve. 🧵

  @MendamCaedo @takasiraVT Vroid is one option, but you can rarely get anywhere with that. The point I'm making is that this industry is predatory for newcomers and old timers alike. Particularly in the modeling, art, and rigging departments. People will scam you, hide things in TOS, and just recently threaten to revoke the model entirely without a refund if you even touch AI for one reason or another (including using an AI reference sheet, by the way). There's even a server out there that has decided to just start banning people if they use it on ANY PLATFORM, like some 1984 type ****. Cheap artists can rarely be trusted either, because again- on the off chance you don't read over your agreement with like seven lawyers, they can just decide to take it away because of any slight problem they have with you. And let's not even mention the fact that some people will decide to drag their *** on the commissions until the six month refund period on paypal has expired, then take the money and run, meaning that now you're out several thousand dollars depending on how expensive that commission was.. With all of this in mind, do you see why people are hesitant to turn to artists who are screeching about losing their commissions and turning to sources that won't complain about what they choose to do?

  $PYPL The Half of PayPal the Market Was Pricing On July 15 Stripe and the investment firm Advent International offered about $53 billion for PayPal, $60.50 a share at a 28 percent premium, with PayPal's board due to meet on July 20 (CNBC). The market had spent two years pricing PayPal as a fading checkout brand. The bid is a sign it was valuing the wrong half of the company. The bearish case is about flow, the checkout button losing ground at the point of sale to Apple Pay, to Shopify, to a dozen others. That decline is real, and it is what the multiple reflects. What it leaves out is the stock of accounts sitting behind the button. PayPal holds more than 400 million funded consumer accounts, Venmo included, and a funded account is not just a logo, it is a stored balance with a linked funding source and a verified identity. This is what makes the bid make sense. The whole industry is moving toward agent commerce, where software does the buying, and an agent cannot spend from nothing. It needs a funded account to draw on, permission to spend it, and an identity behind it. Stripe owns the merchant side of payments and has very few consumer wallets of its own. PayPal is the largest pool of pre-funded consumer accounts outside the banks. A company that owns the merchant rails is not paying a premium and borrowing $50 billion for a checkout button, it is buying the thing it cannot build on its own, a base of accounts that are already funded and ready for an agent to spend from. A 28 percent premium on a company the market had written down as a runoff is the buyer saying, in effect, that the base of accounts is worth more than the flow everyone was tracking. The mispricing, as I read it, is that the market valued the half of PayPal that is shrinking and gave away the half that is scarce. This is a bid and not yet a deal, so the tells are close at hand. Whether the board engages after July 20 or holds out for more will say whether the base is worth what the bidder thinks. A rival suitor would be the market admitting the asset is rare. And the final terms, if there are any, will show who controls the combined accounts and rails, because that, rather than the app, is what an agent economy has to run through.

  HALF PRICE BROOKLYN N5 TICKET🚨 (originally bought on resale) I’m still trying to sell this ticket and I’m dropping it down to half the price i bought it for! Down from $1095 to $550 + paypal g&s plus rate conversion fee (to australian dollars). You would have to meet me at Barclays so I can let you into the venue because my australian TM account is having issues transferring tickets. I think this would be a good opportunity to meet people as I’m not from here either! Please only reach out if you are fully aware of the seat location and price and process. I’m not dropping down any further x.

  So I fed this to Grok and holy ****… Analysis of the X thread by @whisper_alpha (post ID 2077722854414532656) This is a 14-part investigative thread doing on-chain forensics on the $WALLET token (contract: 0x0339f5459fc690ac85f1782e15782a151b4a9e1b) deployed on Robinhood Chain. The core thesis: This is Robinhood’s biggest unannounced (or stealth) product — a token deeply tied to their team, infrastructure, and new L2 blockchain. Summary of the Thread’s Claims The author traces funding flows across Ethereum and the new Robinhood Chain, connecting the token deployer to: • Vlad Tenev (Robinhood CEO) via a publicly referenced wallet. • Seong Lee (@seongboii) — Head of Crypto Product / Project Manager at Robinhood (Crunchbase + Arkham labels link seonglee.eth). • Richard Reitzfeld (richiereitz.eth) — Senior iOS Engineer at Robinhood (confirmed via LinkedIn; works on mobile/wallet engineering). Key technical findings highlighted: • The same wallet (0xF718d37dBC25799f7cFf04B5AacdA94e87619649) funded: • The Robinhood Chain deployer on Ethereum. • The $WALLET deployer on Robinhood Chain (post-mainnet). • The Paxos hot wallet early on the chain. • Vanity address pair — Two early wallets share a long common substring (dBC25799f7cFf04B5AacdA94e8761), a deliberate pattern often used by teams/institutions. • Extremely early funding (blocks 34 and 41 on Robinhood Chain) — One wallet had ETH with no incoming transactions recorded, consistent with pre-genesis or operator-level initialization funding. • Timeline: Robinhood Chain mainnet launched July 1, 2026. $WALLET deployed July 10, 2026 (9 days later) — deliberate, post-stabilization, after legal review presumably. Speculated use cases (governance token, massive airdrop to Robinhood’s ~23M users, or loyalty/rewards layer replacing or supplementing Robinhood Gold). Verification & Fact-Checking What checks out strongly: • Robinhood Chain timeline: Officially launched public mainnet on July 1, 2026 (confirmed in Robinhood’s own announcements and multiple news outlets). Testnet was earlier in February 2026. Built on Arbitrum tech. • Token existence: The contract 0x0339f5459fc690ac85f1782e15782a151b4a9e1b exists on Robinhood Chain. It is labeled “Robinhood Wallet (WALLET)” on the official Blockscout explorer and OpenSea. Total supply: 1,000,000,000. • Employee connections: • Richard Reitzfeld is a real Senior iOS Engineer at Robinhood (LinkedIn confirmed). • Seong Lee (@seongboii) is real and has been publicly associated with Robinhood Crypto / product roles. • Paxos link: Paxos is a legitimate regulated partner (issues stablecoins, custody for PayPal/Mastercard). Early funding of their hot wallet fits infrastructure setup. • Community consensus: Multiple independent accounts on X have replicated or referenced parts of this tracing and reached similar conclusions about the funding cluster. What is weaker / unconfirmed: • No official Robinhood statement confirming $WALLET as their token. They have stayed silent. Robinhood does have an official self-custody Robinhood Wallet app that natively supports their new chain. • The exact Vlad Tenev “robust wallet” quote from July 8 wasn’t directly surfaced in quick searches (the linked older tweet was about something else). The on-chain breadcrumbs are the stronger part of the case. • Arkham labels and OpenSea “nomujja” attribution rely on heuristics/user reports — generally reliable for these profiles but not 100% infallible. • Current market status (as of mid-July 2026): Very low market cap (reports of ~$4M–$10M range recently), high volatility, typical of new tokens on a brand-new chain. Some early reports of issues with certain dubious tokens on the chain (not specific to $WALLET). Overall Assessment This is one of the more credible “insider/stealth token” narratives I’ve seen in crypto recently. Strengths of the thread: • Multi-wallet, multi-person, cross-chain tracing.
