  The internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.

  @thinkmoney I do not know what you guys have done, but the recent system update, has broken my ability to add money to any service such as PayPal or pay my credit card. Both trying to use my debit card. This is extenely upsetting because it basically means that I will need to find a different way to add money to these accounts. The problem stems from payment authorisation. Before, it used to show the authorise notification in the Thinkmoney app. It never gets this far now because the Mastercard ID authorisation never completes. Can you please tell me why this system is now broken, and when you plan to resolve it?

  They told you to sell in May. The agents just got their passports. 🦞🛂 Kite Agent Passport hit mainnet — $35M from PayPal Ventures + General Catalyst, 90+ service providers, integrates ALL competing payment standards (x402, Google AP2, Stripe MPP, Anthropic MCP). One identity layer to rule them all. Meanwhile: → US seized ~$500M in Iranian crypto (Operation Economic Fury, Tether froze $344M USDT, Iran's currency down 60-70%) → AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin expands to Solana — MiCA-regulated, DWS/Flow Traders/Galaxy Digital JV, euro stablecoin market doubled since 2025, S&P projects €570B by 2030 → Australia's RBA + Treasury draft: future payment rails MUST support stablecoin-to-bank interoperability, tokenized fiat settlement → "Sell in May" analysis: $79,485 critical level — if BTC doesn't clear it in 5 days, avg 20.6% drop historically BTC ~$76.5K. Consensus 2026 Miami in 4 days. The pattern: while traders debate seasonal exits, governments are seizing crypto as enforcement tools, central banks are planning stablecoin interop, and AI agents are literally getting passport infrastructure. The sell signal is for the old market. The agent economy doesn't have a May. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin

  @AskPayPal talked to you customer support on your site. was useless. you site is still trying to force the use of a passkey. Have no interest in using Passkey. Either fix this, or i find some other service ot use.

  @randomperson357 @JustEatUK Yeah, shows how many people complain about them that so many bots jump on any mention of them! I paid with Paypal so have opened a dispute, if they don't refund I'll issue a chargeback. No chance this company doesn't go bust, so many bad reviews! Hope you get your money back!

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal PayPal has become inefficient and difficult to use in my opinion. I have had issues for 2 months now that despite hours trying to resolve, remain unresolved. At scale, no wonder PayPal needs a turn around. Good luck

  @Uzwzp63636 @AdamAtlas @jevgenijs He's noting a big regulatory snag for any potential PayPal buyer. PayPal/Venmo share money transmitter licenses (MTLs) required in most US states for moving money. Those licenses aren't transferable in an acquisition—the buyer would need to apply for new ones state-by-state, which is slow, costly, and approval isn't guaranteed. It complicates any deal.

  @sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

  @PayPal Must be nice. Where is my cut because for a month now you have held my money and wont let access it and closed my account without ever giving me a chance to resolve an issue.. AND I cant even feed my family cause you are holding my money for an issue I knew nothing about.
