  Just an FYI: @PayPal will not assist you with complaints against @zendocs. I have been enrolled in a monthly plan--I have no idea for what--and am being billed $39.95 a month by PayPal. The one time I need Paypal to actually back me up, I am told there is no problem. #Scam

  @SkypeTherapist I am reading through your website. I do not have PayPal but do have VENMO. PayPal froze my account several years ago without warning and without reason and have refused to correspond with me to remedy the situation. Would this be an issue?

  @KrzyDays @vexmlk @PayPal Not saying you feel any type of way. But simply making a point to it since the real issue is not the legitimacy of art or slnsfw content is is privately owned business like PayPal can make rules that best suit the shareholder than you.

  The problem isn't that affiliate marketing doesn't work in India. It's that the infrastructure never existed. - Creators charge high upfront fees, but brands expect sales guarantees and don't pay - Creators don't trust brands to accurately attribute sales. See @AnshulGains rant - And until recently, there was no easy way to handle payouts, TDS compliance, attribution, fraud prevention, COD detection, and reporting at scale. The US got Stripe, PayPal, Impact, ShareASale, and 200 other softwares India only has @ReferRush

  PayPal's revenue has grown every year for the last decade, but the stock is down 86% from its peak. Last year, PayPal moved a record $1.79 trillion in payments. Operating income hit $6 billion. The market only values the entire company at $40 billion. Compared to its peak in 2021, it was worth $360 billion. How does a business grow every year and lose this much value? In early 2021, CEO Dan Schulman told investors PayPal would have 750 million users by 2025. But PayPal ended 2025 at only 439 million — barely changed from 2021. The flat user count is half the story. The other half is where the revenue growth actually came from. PayPal makes money two ways. One is the PayPal and Venmo button. When a customer clicks it at checkout, PayPal earns a high fee on the transaction. The other is running credit card payments behind the scenes for big merchants who use their own checkout. When a customer clicks Apple Pay or Shop Pay there, PayPal often still processes the payment underneath. The fee on that work is much smaller. Customers used to click the PayPal button at checkout. Increasingly, they click Apple Pay or Shop Pay first. In Q1 2026: → PayPal button: +2% → Behind-the-scenes processing: +11% PayPal kept about two cents less of every dollar it earned over the past year. On the company's scale, that's hundreds of millions in lost profit. This is what Alex Chriss was hired to fix. He took over as CEO in September 2023, cut costs, monetized Venmo, walked away from unprofitable processing deals. In February 2026, the board replaced him with their own chairman — Enrique Lores, a 30-year HP veteran who used to run printers and PCs. Whether the new CEO can fix it is the open question. That's the lesson: The biggest margins come from being the brand customers reach for. When they reach for someone else, the same work pays much less. 🔔 I'm Leysan, CFO who breaks down the economics behind tech companies every single week.

  One of the most perplexing things about stablecoins is that pretty much only Tether consistently makes money, followed by MakerDAO/Sky (until recent years). Others seem to trend towards losses (Circle is a great example). Why is this perplexing? Because the world has birthed thousands of stablecoins with many, many different design architectures: * Bank deposits (CDP) * Banknotes (CDP or fully reserved) * Non-redeemable notes (algorithmic) * Metallic tokens (fiduciary or full-bodied) * Scrip (redeemable in-kind) * Central bank notes (algorithmic, fiduciary, or CDP) Most of these were successful because they alleviated money shortages* or enjoyed government monopoly. But when it comes to fully reserved (that is, 100% of the backing assets are highly liquid) private currencies, there really are very few examples of success. You could argue the Bank of Amsterdam and Venetian Banco di Rialto are examples, but they made their money mostly as custodians and other money services. Also, both are 400+ years in the past, which is a long way to reach for an example of success. So how did full-reserve standard become the model for stablecoins? USDC isn’t a big money maker, but at least it has enormous scale. USDG is winding down. GUSD, BUSD, USDP aren’t examples of winners. FDUSD also in retreat. And PayPal and Ripple throw vast sums of money at incentives. Notably, GENIUS when it comes into force prohibits issuers tying their users to buying other services from them, which is how they probably need to make money. Where full-reserve does seem to find PMF in the modern world is as a simple store of value - money market funds. The trouble is they are mostly short-term parking places AND hold assets that are disallowed under many emerging stablecoin regulatory regimes (e.g. commercial paper and certificates of deposit) So… how did it become consensus that a safe and sound stablecoin must be more constrained than a money market fund, and how did it become consensus that this model would be a good business when Circle struggles even with a $75b float? Given that this has been the hands-down, undisputed killer use case for crypto, it feels strange that more people don’t try to trace the steps of how we got to this consensus. * I have long been on record that Tether’s success is less to do with crypto per se than in alleviating USD shortages in venues with few or no dollars (like blockchains and non-US countries)

  Anthropic shipped Claude for Small Business. 15 workflows, 15 skills, connectors for QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign. Demoed it in Friday's session. Two things stood out. 1) US stack. Most aussie SMBs run Xero, not QuickBooks. Xero has its own MCP server now (MIT licensed). Local door is there, just not through the pack. 2) Skills are generic by design. Hit that on the tax organizer. The trigger and categories don't match an Australian BAS. The pack gets you to the door. The work begins where it stops.

  3 ways to turn $30K into $1M in the next crypto cycle. This is my second idea, and one I have a lot of faith in: $EXOD — Exodus Movement Inc. Exodus is no longer just a self-custody wallet. It is moving toward becoming a full crypto everything-app. It already has: Self-custody wallets Swaps for major crypto assets On-ramps and off-ramps Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and card options Debit card infrastructure Stablecoin/payment infrastructure Major wallet partnerships A long-term UFC payments sponsorship Plans to bring more financial products into the app They have also acquired companies that help them issue cards and support payment infrastructure for crypto businesses. That matters. Exodus is positioning itself to sit between self-custody, swaps, fiat rails, cards, stablecoins, payments, and eventually broader financial services. During the last cycle, Exodus shares traded as high as around $117. The current price is around $6.68. That means the stock would need to rise roughly 33x to reach $222 per share. A $30K investment at today’s price would buy roughly 4,490 shares. At $222, that position would be worth close to $1M. Is $222 unrealistic? Maybe. But remember: Exodus has already traded above $100 before, and the company is much bigger today than it was in the last cycle. Since then, Exodus has: Reported record annual revenue Expanded its product range Acquired payment/card infrastructure companies Signed a long-term UFC payments sponsorship Built relationships with major crypto platforms Integrated with wallets and platforms like MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Magic Eden and others with a combined 230 million users Built a stronger position as a self-custody and crypto infrastructure company Exodus reported $121M in revenue for 2025. If they can 4x revenue to around $500M in the next cycle, a $6.6B valuation would be around 13x revenue. That is not crazy for a fast-growing crypto infrastructure company in a bull market. Back in 2021, Exodus raised $75M at a much higher revenue multiple. The company is now larger, more developed, and has far more products and distribution. The bull case is simple: If crypto adoption grows, self-custody grows, swaps grow, stablecoin payments grow, and their partnerships start driving serious volume, Exodus could look massively mispriced at today’s valuation. I do not think the market is pricing in what Exodus is becoming. $EXOD is one of the most underpriced crypto-related equities I can find. At $6.68, I think the risk/reward over the next 3–4 years is extremely attractive.

  @AsianDawn4 Even if there was maximum damage, you're talking about 13% of the US population. The damage wouldn't be impactful as Asians are flushed with cash. Plus there are videos of these chicks trying to find and shame patrons of the business. Problem with that is, there is a monopoly over things like nail salons, and there's little choice selection. The business choice selection thing has a time decay. I see people starting to go for Bud Light again, they're using Paypal again.

  PYPL PayPal. Down massively from its peak. Now trading at ~8x earnings and ~8x free cash flow. Dirt cheap for a business this scale. 439 million active accounts. $1.79 trillion in annual TPV. Wall Street has written it off. Meanwhile the business keeps printing.

  @AlanSla90124663 @Hedgewatchers @BrambleRamble4 I never thought of the PayPal reporting, but that would catch a lot of scammers since they use PayPal across SMS. And PayPal as well as Go Fund Me are very proactive shutting down fake accounts.

  @PramilaJayapal Putrid Pramila PayPal, you are not an organizer, nor are you an advocate, nor are you a revolutionary. What you are is a butt-ugly thief who's trying everything her tiny pea brain can come up with to keep the gravy train from being shut down when she gets booted out of office.
