  The hardest part of agentic commerce isn't the payment. It's the trust. At Consensus in Miami, our VP & Head of BD @lei_lei0904 joined @csuitepodcast to break down what it actually takes to let AI agents transact safely. ▷ Agentic commerce is already here: x402 has crossed 100M transactions, and the space went from ~20 companies in 2024 to 500+ today, with Google, Stripe, PayPal, Amazon and Shopify all moving in. ▷ Trust can't be an afterthought: compliance and security have to be built in from day one, at the infrastructure level. That's what Agent Passport does, spend within the limits you set, with a kill switch you control. ▷ Payments have to move at machine speed: agent transactions are often API calls worth cents, where traditional rails charging 3% simply break. Building the trust layer for the agent economy. 🪁

  There is a graveyard in American tech right now and nobody is walking through it. Companies down 70, 80, 90% from the highs. Still profitable. Still growing. Still the leader in their category. Just unloved. The Trade Desk at 9x earnings. PayPal at 12x with $6 billion in free cash flow. Adobe at 17x and people are talking about it like it’s Kodak. Etsy at 8x EBITDA running a marketplace that two billion people have heard of. Roku trading below its own balance sheet liquidation value if you squint. Match Group, Zoom, Pinterest — each of these would have been a hedge fund’s top pick at this multiple in 2017. Now they’re orphans. Everyone is buying the Mag 7 because the Mag 7 is the trade. The Mag 7 IS already the trade. The trade is over. The next trade is in the rubble pile. You don’t get rich buying what worked. You get rich buying what stopped working for reasons that turn out to be temporary. Every name on that list was a market darling 36 months ago. The fundamentals didn’t fall 80%. The narrative did. Narratives come back. Earnings compound. I’m not buying NVDA at 45x. I’m buying the names CNBC won’t say out loud anymore

  I had it since Oct last year(the ban, the account was from like 2020) and I can't even close it to try to make a new one since even most platforms will use PayPal too. And that ban thing has been a problem for artists for years. Thank God I didn't keep money in there.(2/3)

  @silverybarbs Oh completely understandable, but any time I see any paypal issue like this I gotta reiterate it in the hopes SOMEONE reading it might listen and change how they're using Paypal, so it doesn't happen to them going forward.

  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)

  @ELYRIX_RECOVERY @LinkedInHelp Thanks! I was able to recover my acct after sending LinkedIn, the front & back of my DL. However, the hacker created a job posting & put my PayPal acct in. LinkedIn took the post down but not before it racked up a $91 bill which LinkedIn charged me for. I can’t recover my money!

  @AutumnSakuraaa The problem is, all the transaction options failed, and I’m tired. They said my PayPal account doesn’t support international transactions, but my commission always handles international transactions, so the last resort is to send the gift as Astrites 😭🥀

  @SiliconSalvage My only reason for using Adobe is with their discounts. Without those, I am not bothering with $60/month. For several years they've made broken products. PayPal is quickly becoming a relic in light of crypto, BNPL, but will still stick around for now. AI chats replaced pinterest

  @johannesmkx White people are not "the new jews", and we are not a rootless people. This is the fundamental problem which separates your world view from the rest of us. In your pursuit of aimless hyper-intellectualism you yourself have become judaized, even in this holy struggle for the survival of our people you could not resist but find a way to profit financially from it. $7/mo subscription fee, linktree with paypal, buymecoffee, and crypto donations. No surprise that you project your own jewish characteristics on to the race as a whole.

  @yabaguu @CuppyCakiee So they removed stripe awhile back. People got upset about it. Then they added stripe back recently. I think it had something to do with tos and conflicts. Throne allowing NSFW items and funding probably didn't go well during the payment processor freak out if I had to guess. also a note on paypal. It can effect taxes at the end of the year to have any payouts go there. Like twitch, tips from other platforms and throne. Although i didn't know we could have it go to paypal for throne. Its not hard to fix if your tax person knows but you risk being taxed twice for that income. Purely speaking as a united state's living individual.

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interfaces. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  PayPal integration is critical: payments failing means revenue lost. But PayPal's sandbox mostly covers happy paths. How do you test what happens when things go wrong? This Dev Proxy preset injects random PayPal API errors into your requests. The error responses are modeled after PayPal's official Postman collection, so they match what you'd see in production. Get started in 2 commands: devproxy config get paypal-random-errors devproxy Now your PayPal API calls randomly fail with realistic errors: authentication failures, invalid requests, resource not found, server errors. Each one uses PayPal's actual error structure, so your parsing code gets exercised with real-world formats. The randomness is the point. You're testing what happens when errors land where your code doesn't expect them. A payment intent fails mid-checkout, a refund request gets a 500, a customer update returns a 404. Run your checkout flow against this preset and watch what happens. Does your UI show a useful message? Does your backend retry or give up? Does your logging capture enough detail to debug later? Grab the preset and find the gaps in your error handling before a real payment fails. When did you last test your PayPal error handling?

  (Photos 1 & 2) On May 18, during Round 1, we reserved 1.8M Blue Jams from them. They asked for a 40% down payment upfront, which we sent immediately as requested. (Photos 3 & 4) However, on the final day of voting, with less than two hours remaining before the deadline, we reached out because they still hadn't delivered the votes. They then told us they were unable to vote and offered to refund our payment. However, they never returned the money, claiming they didn't have Wise and that their PayPal account was on hold.

  @MohamedAli49071 @SONOIYA47 The problem with Kenyans is distancing yourself from a problem because it hasn't happened to you (YET). Hao watu wote complaining about PayPal cannot be wrong. As a PayPal user, join in the discussion ask for accountability so that it never happens to you.
