  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.

  @FrankF639800 So currently the main way people are getting money in is through Crypto transfers or PayPal. Some are able to accept money to their banks but as far as I know many of their accounts have been shut down or are inaccessible. Once the organizer of the fundraiser page receives the money, they usually send it to the person in Gaza’s crypto PayPal or bank account, then that person goes to a middleman who they transfer those funds and then get cash usually for a % commission. It is inconvenient for them but unfortunately they have to survive. Hope that makes sense

  @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!

  @PramilaJayapal How did immigration/immigrants happen, Paypal? On your big, fat scheming watch. This is on you, so do something to fix it. You opened the borders intentionally to do exactly what you are trying to do. Trying to flip the switch, are ya? Shocker. This is on you. ****** plan for votes. Mass immigration is warfare on the United States of America and you don't give a sh*t. Gross, manipulative, insulting boondoggle.

  @ZeeContrarian1 They were expensive, and one can argue that they still are. It all comes down to price. Comparing with PayPal, which in my opinion is a dying business with zero moat, is just stupid.

  PayPal's real strategic question isn't "can we fix checkout?" It's: when AI agents are initiating trillions in transactions, does PayPal's network become the default settlement layer or does Stripe/Circle/Coinbase get there first? Stripe's private valuation sits at ~$159B vs. PayPal's ~$43B market cap. That gap tells you what the market currently believes. What do you think PayPal's actual moat is in 2026?

  Random advice for aspiring comic book writers planning a project in the future Take some money and week over week set it aside - put it in a different bank account, add it to your PayPal balance, invest it in the S&P 500 or something just so it’s not in your regular bank balance. That’s just for making your comic. Do that for a year and there’s a chance that when you’re ready to start crowdfunding, you can actually self finance the comic yourself, or at least enough to reduce the goal. That’s how I paid for the covers on my first issue, including one by Yanick Paquette. Every week I set aside $20-40, whatever I could. The time came and i had a really strong budget for my covers as well as some interior pages without breaking the bank. I paid for more of my comic by taking on an editing gig, which is what I used to commission my backup stories. You want as little of the upfront production to be coming out of your salary as possible - don’t be afraid to take on side gig work to bolster your budget. The kind of work you can do over a couple weeks in summer. Making comics as a writer is expensive and a lot of people radically underestimate that and are never really ready to start. I’ve seen some campaigns that didn’t even have a cover for the project, the cover was a stretch goal, others that advertised almost entirely on concept art and maybe a single interior page. I’ve also had people try and hire me with virtually nothing ready to spend, saying “I can pay you as I get paid” and they didn’t have a real budget. If you’re crowdfunding, you want at least four pages of interiors and at least one cover to showcase. Be comfortable with the idea that it could take as long as a few years to put your comic out. I started concept work in 2022, launched in 2023, fulfilled between late 24 and early 25. It’s better to wait and put out a comic you’re proud of than rush things just for the immediate gratification and satisfaction of making a comic! Just be comfortable waiting to make your comic. Imo if you have an idea in 2026, you shouldn’t be putting a comic out on crowdfunding until 27. Spend the rest of 26 tweaking your story and saving your money. Trust me, it helps. Always go into your very first crowdfund with some disposable income set aside. The alternative is find an artist willing to work with you on a strip where you can just commission them for a page at a time as you’re ready/comfortable. Artists don’t mind it as long as you communicate the situation up front.

  @buythefukndip @ryancohen @Comedyorwat Ive been thinking this is a step towards getting the float monster part of the play in a paypal, venmo or insurance co. He will get as much cash out of ebay as possible no doubt, but much will go towards paying down debt early on. As we say these days, we will see what happens.

  @RepKeithSelf I remember that. I also remember that American financial institutions started doing the same thing, most notably PayPal. Maybe instead of stopping something that doesn't exist, you should stop the problems that do, and make all financial seizures illegal.
