Charles12 (@Charles12_13) reported@FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil "You could just use another service" you, in fact, cannot. When VISA, Mastercard, Stripe and PayPal all wanna shut down something because they’re too puritans, what other options do you have?

Lord Of Restocks • Hard To Find Items & Tech Deals (@LordOfRestocks) reported@Larrington03 Hm. No problem on our end. Maybe try clearing your cache and try again. You tried Apple Pay/PayPal and they didn’t work?

Derick Waluvl (@DWaluvl) reported@AskPayPal How will I contact customer care while I cannot login or call as the number given is not working surely

La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo (@LaLiLuLeL0x) reportedCrypto didn't start because someone wanted a faster PayPal. It started because DigiCash got shut down. One server, one company, one point of failure. Satoshi fixed that. Ethereum extended it. The entire value proposition is fault tolerance, attack resistance, and collusion resistance. Remove any of these and you don't have crypto. You have a database with extra steps. The EF published a mandate codifying CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, Security. They weren't inventing something new. They were writing down what was always true. The backlash wasn't about Milady or anime art. It was about people wanting the EF to say "we're going to compete with Solana on speed and fund KOLs." Instead the EF said "we're going to protect the properties that make this technology worth building on, even if that means moving slower." Some people can't handle that. Because they entered crypto to get rich, not to get free. Here's what the "just be pragmatic" crowd never thinks about for more than five seconds: if Ethereum loses credible neutrality, the rest of the world walks away. If it's captured by the US, China doesn't use it. If it's captured by China, the US doesn't use it. No country builds critical financial infrastructure on a network another country can influence. The only product that works for everyone is the one nobody owns. That's not philosophy. That's the only path to a global settlement layer. And the argument that "nobody will use the most decentralized chain" is based on the assumption that the regulatory grey area lasts forever. It won't. The CLARITY Act literally creates favorable treatment for genuinely decentralized protocols. When regulation stops treating all crypto the same, the chains that actually have these properties get a structural advantage that centralized chains cannot replicate. You can't bolt on decentralization after the fact. CROPS is not an obstacle to Ethereum's success. It's the precondition for Ethereum's existence. Stop gaslighting Ethereum. 👇

RDM GameS (@goexsl) reported@AskPayPal ******* IDIOTS, how am I supposed to ask you for help through your ****** support link if it asks me to log in, then I log in and it says “We’re having trouble verifying your identity”? I request a code by email, you send it, I enter it, and the same **** again and again!

『 Ukiyo 』 🫧⭐️💧 (@UFOkiyo) reportedI have a theory that they’re shutting down PayPal accounts specifically based in countries with weak currency.. I mean, PayPal is an American company. Can anyone confirm this with their own story? I’m just trying to figure out why.. (Thread/ramble.)

Momo 👓✨ | 🖋️💙 | Dokomi (@momo_mahou) reported@_itsharumi_ Hi! I'd love to preorder something from you as well, but im running into the same issue as someone else as i also only have paypal and no visa 🥹

𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖐𝖞𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖆𝖈𝖎𝖉 ♡ (@valkyrieacid) reported@Pirat_Nation Ik it's not ideal but just don't use PayPal for anything. It's a terrible service known for severe malpractice. Invoice to bank account still remains the most secure until something new comes along offering instant transfers as a competitor.
-
miki (@mikispanidorium) reported@paddysaidingbar @fantia_jp i do believe that is a part of the issue"one of the factors" among other things that they just dont say. and that is even after fantia removed visa/mastercard/paypal from the equasion years prior to this. they are doing the opposite of what they should be doin

Kira The Snep {comms on halt} (@KiraTheSnep) reportedI rarely have opinions on NSFW comms because I'm 17, however I feel bas for the artists who's lively hoods are threatened by the CEO being an ******* also PayPal is the only option in Canada so I might be cooked if it goes down due to this stupid rule
-
🔞 AlbinoRayneDeer.bsky.social (@AlbinoRayneDeer) reported@BlakjakTheGamer @LueLuxe Or someone else does. I got my account limited shortly after banning a stalker from my Discord server. There was no mention of anything NSFW in my transaction history, and my PayPal address wasn't listed on any of my socials, but they found me.
