  @MaximiliankotWA This is why I’m probably double or tripling down on Patreon once I confirm it works for payment processing and such. I was using it with PayPal but now doing it direct to bank. I also am doing the math on what I need to full time and to help expand.

  I want to confirm that PayPal itself states that you don't need a trading license to accept money. How can I avoid any issues? Should I connect my personal PayPal account to VGen and link my personal bank account via VGen payments (Stripe) is it safe or any recommendations?

  @moneyacademyKE It will be hard to access some services. For instance, you want a cheap server with hetzner but they only accept Paypal in your country. You create an account, load money alafu inafungwa.

  @GabrielCor54922 yes... wechat still is hit or miss with that, but my foreign linked alipay works well enough for me. that said, both apps still require some chinese ability even though the english is more prominent these days (eg errors are still in chinese) and ID vertification is cumbersome paypal is an app people outside china already use

  I believe that the most hated stock of 2026 is probably PayPal $PYPL. Investors have almost completely abandoned it. Growth has slowed, competition has increased, and the stock has taken a massive beating. But the Q2 numbers are making me think twice. • Payments volume up 10% • Free cash flow up 157% So the question is: Is $PYPL truly broken, OR Are we hating on it more than it deserves? 👀

  @kurlyshark @PayPal You couldn’t be an Uber Eats or DoorDash driver. Both apps make you scan your face most times to sign in to deliver.

  🚨STRIPE’S ENDGAME: BUY $PYPL , OWN THE TRANSACTION LAYER $PYPL is an M&A probability curve. Stripe and Advent started at $60.50. PayPal said no. The stock moved to the bid. Now the only number that can fix this is the clearing price. My range is $65–72. Because $75+ requires Stripe to decide the strategic value of PayPal exceeds the regulatory and integration tax. Stripe owns the merchant infrastructure. $PYPL owns consumer distribution. Venmo gives Stripe the consumer network it never built. OpenRouter gives Stripe a toll road into AI commerce. Put it together and Stripe is positioning itself between the consumer, merchant, money movement and increasingly the AI agent initiating the transaction. That is the bull case. The bear case is equally simple. You are combining two enormous payments networks, inviting regulators into the room, spending $50B+ to do it and then asking two very different organizations to operate as one economic machine. So I wouldn't underwrite $PYPL here as a turnaround. If deal dies, $PYPL will price lower. If deal clears around $65–72, the shareholders monetize the control premium. If Stripe decides that PayPal is strategically irreplaceable, then we see $75+ becoming possible. For Stripe, the bigger question is quietly assembling the financial operating system for the next internet. Payments were layer one. Consumer distribution is layer two. AI agents may be layer three. $PYPL is the expensive bridge between them.

  Something is clearly not right with how Kenya is being viewed by the global financial system. Sendwave and Wise have started restricting some services to Kenyans. Hurupay pulled out. Some PayPal users have also faced restrictions. Then, almost at the same time, police in Uasin Gishu recover KSh2.6 million in cash and what they say is US$259 million in suspected fake dollar notes. These may be separate issues, but you cannot just brush them aside. Kenya is already on the FATF grey list over concerns around money laundering and weaknesses in financial controls. So when global payment firms start becoming cautious about Kenya, while police are making such huge counterfeit currency seizures, people are going to ask questions. And the people who suffer first are not the big names in government. It is the freelancer waiting for payment from abroad. It is the small business importing stock. It is the family depending on remittances. It is the young Kenyan trying to work online and get paid. Once trust in a country’s financial system starts taking a hit, everything becomes harder and more expensive. Kenya needs to take this seriously. We cannot keep talking about becoming a regional financial hub while international payment companies are becoming more uncomfortable dealing with us. Trust is very easy to lose and painfully difficult to rebuild.

  @MarkOSullivan94 i know... i paid with @PayPal thinking i was covered... turned out water leaking from lights it was just my expectations problem

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  @SafaricomPLC Why all this Safaricom. All pending PayPal withdrawal payments are never solved. You issue ticket number for cases and tend to not help . When I call customer care, all the agents claim they don't understand the problem but I wait. Is it deliberate that I won't get any help?
