  HL is a special ecosystem, but I imagine this opens the door to negotiations by other chains/apps that have traction (yes, I'm aware how few there are). However, I guess things have been sort of trending this way with issuers. PayPal and Agora were/are getting very aggressive on pass through yield to users, which is another way to win distribution. Circle/Coinbase locked down $5B in distribution with one negotiation that has arguably the most upside of anything in crypto. Better to have 10% of distribution on the house of all of finance than the possibility of 100% of nothing. Interesting.

  @PayPal My paypal account of 18 years was permanently blocked this morning, with no reason given. Your support staff has been less than helpful. I use paypal every week for automated payments, Apple, Google play, and Ebay purchases. I have not broken your TOS.

  @HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

  Ryan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal

  EDIT: Due to a recent error with paypal, I will not be taking specifically invoices. You can however still use the paypal link I give you, or ko-fi. (I lost $40. It was not the commissioner's fault at all, this was entirely paypal being buggy)

  @AskPayPal Hey Thieves! I am awaiting a large refund for you that was ALREADY REFUNDED by the seller. I gave you the refund code and you keep leading me in senseless circles saying that the case was closed and no error or refund made. You are better than this--or so I thought!

  @Dylanxjl14 @SkaavArt It's most likely due to payment processors (mastercard/VISA). It's been a recurring problem with EVERYTHING recently. Subscribestar, steam, PayPal, etc. So so so many platforms are changing up their rules regarding NSFW content because of pressure from payment processors.

  The DOJ just forced PayPal into a $30 million settlement over its "Economic Opportunity Fund," a 2020 program that made $530 million in preferential loans available exclusively to minority-owned businesses. The problem is straightforward: the Equal Credit Protection Act says you can't discriminate on the basis of race when lending money. Doesn't matter if you call it DEI, economic opportunity, or social impact. Selecting who gets capital based on skin color is illegal. As part of the settlement, PayPal will waive processing fees on up to $1 billion in transactions for veteran-owned businesses and companies certified in farming, manufacturing, or technology. AAG Harmeet Dhillon's message to other companies still running these programs: "There's no finding of prior discrimination that would justify current discrimination against American small businesses or consumers." This is exactly why permissionless systems matter. When access to financial services is gated by intermediaries who decide which businesses "deserve" capital based on identity categories, the system is broken by design. Bitcoin doesn't care who you are, what you look like, or what box you check. The protocol treats every participant the same. No committee decides you're the wrong demographic for a loan. PayPal had to be sued to stop discriminating. Bitcoin never started.

  Why PayPal in Sri Lanka Actually Matters (And What it Means for You) 1/ The Old Problem Before today, Sri Lankan devs had three options: Use fake overseas addresses (illegal, risky) Keep money in foreign accounts (forex leakage, tax issues) Rely on shady remittance channels (high fees, no protection) We were essentially locked out of the global economy. Meanwhile, Indian and Filipino devs were cashing in directly.
