  Barrons with the Best and Worst performers of S&P500 for July. Cognizant( $CTSH) up 43% followed by $PYPL, Yes PayPal at 32% then WorkDay $WDAY at 31%. Looking through this list you guessed it right, TECH had a meltdown. The biggest decliner $SNDK down 46% followed by $GLW down 46%. Both $SNDK and $GLW would have to gain 100% to reach their ATHs for 2026. These were still up 411% and 57% for the year. If I had to wager a bet which would bounce back from here, I would bet it’s $SNDK.

  MORE THAN most people are comfortable admitting. And the 2FA point is where it gets genuinely alarming. Most people use their email as the recovery method for every other account they own. That single design decision turns email access into a master key. The attack sequence takes minutes. Email access means password reset on every account that sends recovery links to that address. Your bank. Your PayPal. Your Amazon with saved payment methods. Your Apple ID or Google account which controls your phone backup, your photos, your contacts, and every app you have ever downloaded. Your social media. Your cloud storage. Your work accounts if you ever linked them. The 2FA bypass is where people feel falsely safe. Most 2FA implementations send codes to your phone number or email. If the attacker controls your email they intercept email based 2FA codes directly. For SMS based 2FA they request a password reset, which sends a link to your email, which they already control. Phone based 2FA often has an account recovery option that routes back to email when you cannot access your phone. Your email is not one factor in a chain. It is the root of the entire tree. The accounts with the most damage potential reset through email without ever touching your phone. Crypto exchange accounts. Investment platforms. Domain registrars if you own a business. Hosting providers. The average person has their email connected to somewhere between 100 and 500 accounts accumulated over years of internet use. Most of those accounts were created, briefly used, and forgotten. They still exist. They still have saved payment methods, personal information, and access to things you stopped thinking about years ago. One password. One inbox. Everything else follows. The fix is treating your email account as the most critical credential you own rather than the least. Unique strong password generated by a password manager. Hardware security key as the second factor specifically for email, not SMS, not push notification. A separate recovery email that no one knows exists and that you never use for anything else. Your email is not a communication tool. It is the administrative console for your entire digital life.

  @discord wow cool I'd love to try it. unfortunately, I'm still paying for full nitro on an account that's been hacked (and I can't fix that because my email was part of the hack and my paypal I use is connected to that email) but uh. neat.

  @iriolsw7 It's okayy, they DM-ed me too and it's legit. The admin at that time gave me a different paypal account-one that didn't belong to the ex head admin, so I think the other admin already took action sometime ago to minimize the issue

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.

  Everyone celebrates companies like Stripe, PayPal, Revolut, and Cash App. We trust them with our money, recommend them to friends, and build businesses on top of them. But the moment a Nigerian builds something similar, many of us become the first to predict its failure. Why? Is it because the product is bad, or because we have conditioned ourselves to believe that anything built abroad is automatically better than what is built at home? That mindset is a sign of a person being mentally poor and limited. Flutterwave was built by Nigerians. Paystack was built by Nigerians and went on to become one of Africa's most successful fintech companies. These companies didn't become successful because everyone believed in them from day one. They succeeded because they kept building, improving, and earned the trust of millions. Supporting Nigerian innovation does not mean lowering our standards. It does not mean ignoring security concerns or refusing to criticize poor decisions. It simply means judging our own companies by the same standards we use for foreign companies—not by a harsher one. Constructive criticism builds companies. Blind condemnation kills them. There is another challenge we rarely talk about. Too many founders are racing to build the same thing. One payment app succeeds, and suddenly everyone wants to build another payment app. One crypto exchange grows, and dozens more appear. One digital bank trends, and everyone wants to launch another. Innovation is not about seeing what works and copying it. Innovation is about solving problems that nobody else is solving. Nigeria and Africa need builders who will create the infrastructure that powers the next generation of startups. We need breakthroughs in healthcare, education, agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure, and countless other sectors that remain underserved. The companies that shape the future won't necessarily be the ones that copy today's winners. They will be the ones bold enough to create tomorrow's opportunities. So before we dismiss another Nigerian startup, ask yourself: If we don't support our own builders, who will? And if every founder is building the same product, who will build the future? The next global technology company can come from Nigeria. But only if we create a culture that rewards originality, demands excellence, and believes that world-class innovation can be built here.

  @GumihoDB Problem for me, is I had it in my cart, the payment was taken from PayPal, but then they canceled the order. Its not even on my page anymore. And cause I "purchased" it, it won't let me buy it again.

  For founders doing $5m+/yr in revenue, you need to be sitting on $1m+ in credit lines minimum (if u want to get to the next level). Story - Just had a call with yet another NL 🇳🇱 chad ecom founder doing $25m/year, actively selling off dropshipping stores to go hard on branded ecom. Living a global life traveling 60 to 90 days a year. Smart operator. But his current setup is not optimal. He's been running everything through a Dutch entity and Dutch credit cards. Has the tools ready for a US switch - like an approved ITIN sitting there doing nothing. Zero access to US credit lines, inventory financing, and travel infrastructure that could completely transform how he scales and lives. Here's how we're fixing it: The first move is structural. We're transitioning all revenue, Shopify payments, and PayPal from the Dutch entity into the US LLC. That single shift unlocks the entire US banking and credit ecosystem he's been locked out of. Before anything else though, he needs a US residential mail-forwarding address locked in, because that's the foundation everything else sits on. From there, the credit build kicks off immediately. 🔥 He already holds a Dutch Amex in good standing. Through the Amex Global Transfer program, he can leverage that existing relationship to get approved for a US Amex card without waiting 9 to 12 months to build history from scratch. No US residency required, just a US postal address for delivery. This bypasses the biggest bottleneck most foreign founders hit. 🔥 Next, we start building his ITIN credit profile properly. Entry level cards that accept ITINs (Capital One, Chase Freedom Rise once his Chase checking is active), low utilization, on-time payments across multiple accounts, a credit builder installment loan to mix it up. After 6 to 12 months of solid profile maturity, the heavy hitters open up: Chase Ink, Capital One Spark, eventually full business lines underwritten against his revenue. We're talking $1M to $5M in inventory financing to fuel the branded ecom dreams he's chasing. That's not theoretical. That's what Chase can extend to a business doing his numbers once the credit infrastructure actually exists. 🔥 Then there's the travel side. For 60 to 90 travel days a year across luxury properties, burning cash on full-rate stays is just idiotic. We're getting him into the Hotel Purveyor program. The fee to access that doubles as a creditable escrow, meaning it counts as a down payment toward a future investment. In return, he gets access to PHANTOM RATES at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W and comparable properties - 80% to 90% off standard market value. No points games. That's paying $100 to $200 a night where others pay $900 to $1,500. For a guy traveling nearly three months a year, the math on that alone is absurd. 🔥 And when he's ready + we have a new hotel acquisition lined up, there's the fractional hotel investment option through the program. Historically 25% annual returns to boost his wealth generation while he enjoys major travel savings. We're holding off on the complex global tax structuring for now. Get the foundation right first. US entity active, US credit profile building, Amex Global Transfer executed. That's the 60 to 90 day sprint before anything more sophisticated gets layered in. But you best believe he will be rocking 0% tax soon (legally). The current setup is a 2% cash back ceiling on a business doing $25M+ a year. The fact that he got to that level w/o credit lines is astonishing. But with US credit infrastructure and proper financing in place, his biz will scale effortlessly.

  I’ve had people who hacked into my computer people who hacked into my iPad My PayPal is ****** up My QuickBooks got hacked into and they messed with my invoices and I have created that account just to prove a point and it was proven.

  @minsunggful Yeah I’ve also been having issues every time I’ve tried to buy the ticket through PayPal. Just thought it was my bank that was the problem but I guess it’s PayPal then. I had tow wait a few hours and try again before I could buy it.

  Since the start of this month, PayPal always conveniently glitches when I try to finish an order. I’ll be thinking the payment didn’t go through and click confirm again, only to find out later that I was double and triple charged. Then they’ll take FOREVER to fix it. @AskPayPal

  @AskPayPal I created an account using an email & mobile number and I forgot the password. Now when I reset the password it's calling my mobile number for verification but calling isn't working. And I don't have any option to change the mobile number or just continue with email for verification. How do I login?

  @Jarretts2k @benjaminjudahh Bitcoin was around $200 when I was first told about it in 2013. I had my finger on the trigger to send £1000 sterling through PayPal to some guy. That would have got me around 7 BTC because of exchange rates. That was my trial run...i would have put in a lot more because I had just sold my apple stock that I had held for the entire time Steve Jobs was CEO. I dont know, if I had followed through I might have eventually had 150 or 200 Bitcoin. But I paused before sending the trial amount. The guy I was sending the money to had a frogs head for a profile picture and a name like BTC2MOON or something like that. So I backed out. By January 2018 I was in NYC and heard about it again in a restaurant and came home and googled it and arrived on the block size thread on reddit. I remember thinking yeah thats why I didnt buy it in 2013. So I shut down my browser and went yo bed. My son being born in 2023 was the push I needed. I was 50 and had a new kid and **** myself about his financial future
