  @KissMyCarol Too much de-banking and platforms making decisions based on social credit. I know the D banking has greatly improved and is likely not going to come back in a big way. But I had a PayPal account and they had put out several years ago that if you made unacceptable statements on social media Facebook etc. that they would confiscate up to $2500 from your bank account And sequester that money for your PayPal purchases. So I eliminated my PayPal account and I refuse to work with any corporation that threatens me. I don't think that X will do anything like that but I don't know what will happen down the road and I just don't trust what already happened to me Also how's your first night of retirement?

  @housesarebig @CTCG_DZiden Not disagreeing on last minute travel being more expensive, just something that is an option if you want to play in it. It isn't more difficult for a foreigner, its just.. more expensive. Which could be drastically alleviated by lottery starting earlier and results coming out earlier. At that point, you really aren't really locked out. But its the same for CN players trying to play other regionals. Lets only take PayPal, and not credit cards. Paypal CN/Global is different, it doesn't work for Chinese. Oh too bad tickets gone. hehe xD. Not to mention we don't have skirmishes so we have to play round 1. (good change btw). Not defending anything. There are issues with the systems being used, but playing in China is perfectly doable and not difficult. Many players have done so, and I've walked plenty of people through the process.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  I know many people are still shocked over the growing evidence that Jason Schreier likely exaggerated or perhaps even manufactured the Blizzard incidents. Guesses on motivations for why he did so differ but most speculate he’s "paving a way" - possibly allowing people he is friends with...or part of the same clique with...to take over jobs and leadership positions in Blizzard. If it turns out to be true then I want to assure you, NONE of this is new. These cliques have done this for over a decade now, and to show you a taste of what I mean, I will refer to you a little incident called "Game_Jam" 2014 Essentially, it was a high-profile and hyped Reality show where Game devs developed a game live. It was big, it was well prepped. It failed HARD. It got destroyed before it even had a chance to get off the ground. Now why did that happen? Well around the time of the event, Games Journalists started to make a whole bunch of coordinated very negative pieces on the Gamejam, a lot of blatant exaggerations of issues that made the show look like a disaster. Back then, most people didn't know that Games Journalists enjoyed lying, so they took these articles at face value. Hype for the show was destroyed and the show was cancelled. Again, why would that happen? Well it turns out, within the SAME DAY - a NEW Game Jam website got created, called "Rebel Game Jam". The "Rebel Game Jam", was run by someone that goes by the Initials ZQ. The website had links to "donations", and these donations, go directly to this ZQ's personal paypal account. Coincidence? To me its not. It turns out, ZQ has been shown to be quite good friends with many Games Journalists, many of them frequently write positive press about her and her single "game". Some of the games Journalists even actively donated to her Patreon. That's how much of a "good friend" they were with this ZQ. So again, don't be shocked if the theory that "Games Journalists like Jason Schreier exaggerated or manufactured horrible stories about Blizzard leadership so they get kicked out of the Company, ripe for replacement by their friends” turns out to be true. Always keep and eye out, do not trust Game Journalists. When they write something or do something - always ask yourself "who are they backing? What do theu actually want?” Am I being ******? Probably. Should you still watch out even if I am? Yes.

  AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reported 49 minutes ago

  PayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.
