  The truck is breaking down, it just started making a loud clicking noise. It is blowing smoky dust through vents inside the cabin bed, Bad.. It’s leaking a ton of coolant into the truck on the passenger side and on driver’s side onto my feet in pools. PayPal: @ kirabanger

  I actually think one of the clearest signs of confidence is what management is doing with capital at $PYPL This company is deploying every spare dollar of FCF into buybacks, and if the current setup persists, it can retire something like 14% of shares a year. That is not how you behave if you think the business is broken beyond repair. It is how you behave when you think the stock is much cheaper than the business. PayPal does not need to become the next hypergrowth story. It just needs to keep shrinking the float while the market eventually wakes up (if it ever does)

  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.

  People, the last two days have sucked ***. Someone had been trying to get into my Facebook which I don’t even use, my bath and body works account, my Netflix, etc for a couple weeks. What they did finally manage to do was hack my Apple ID. Once they were in there with access to my bank card and a couple credit cards from my Apple Wallet. They locked me out of certain accounts and started shopping on my dime. I’ve had to lock down my bank account, PayPal and cancel a few credit cards. Alllll while I’m on vacation. I still don’t have access to a few things but it’s being worked on. They even hijacked my YouTube account!!!! I got that back this morning. I’m so ******* pissed. Soooo if any of my memberships get wonky this is why. It’s going to take me forever to clean up this mess and get new bank accounts.

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  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.

  @RomanEchoes @ZynxBTC It's terrible as a currency. It has high fees and too much price fluctuation. The only thing is that it's near instant and decentralized. Other than that it has no benefit over PayPal or a credit card.

  Your donations can be sitting in your account and still not be your money. The moment a creator needs a payment platform to approve their identity, business status, or withdrawal before they can touch what supporters already sent, the problem is bigger than PayPal. That’s custody risk. Creators are taught to obsess over discovery and conversion. But payout rails can choke the business just as fast. You can earn the money. The platform can still hold the keys. I keep coming back to the same point: if you need permission to access your own revenue, you don’t own the business. Owned audience matters. Owned distribution matters. But owned payout rails are part of the same fight. Otherwise “getting paid” is just another feature someone else can turn off.

  Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.
