  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.

  @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.

  @LuisBizarro I don’t understand how these legacy companies are still alive. Every time I even try to login to eBay, it gives me so much friction where I just give up and close the tab. Every PayPal account I’ve had has been hacked.

  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.

  9/ My read after twenty years across PayPal, Mastercard, and Gojek: a table like Bernstein's tells you whether a rail is broken or just underpriced for its next stage. UPI's own numbers, including the ones already working quietly inside it, say underpriced, not broken.

  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. People are going down peoples followers list, and targeting people on social media. And this brings me to the past seven months. You have collapse the economy and you’re going to start begging people to pay you and the people that you’re begging to pay you and buy your services and products are the ones that you cyberbullied… Every last celebrity that participated in this every last business owner that participated in this you are going to go out of business by the time this is all through and I promise you I really am praying on your downfall.

  E get one method I was using to create PayPal accounts last year. Link bank to it and use it without issues. Let me try it again and see, if it works, I will share how to do it. Instead of selling your hard earned survey funds to dealers at a low rate, you will learn how to create your own PayPal account and withdraw your money at official rate to your Nigerian bank account. Small small, I will give you everything you need to be self sufficient online. It will take time, but you will definitely get it from me. P.S: image is not mine. Random screenshot from Twitter here.
