  @ryancohen Stopped selling with them years ago when people would buy and receive product, say it was broken and ebay/paypal would side with them when all they really wanted was to get an item for free or deep discount. 1985 wants the design back.

  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.

  Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reported 7 minutes ago

  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 The headlines that "Jenna Ryan Realtor was Booted from PayPal" went worldwide and Ryan was then cancelled en masse from platforms and her business, reputation and life was destroyed.

  @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.

  @SOU_BTC This is the shift from chat to execution. Claude for Small Business plugs directly into QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Google Workspace. Payroll. Invoicing. Monthly close. Ad creation. Automated. But the adoption question is harder than the technology question. A small business owner isn’t an IT department. Someone still has to connect the integrations, configure the workflows, and trust the output. And AI still makes mistakes on ambiguous tasks - a misread invoice or a wrongly categorized expense isn’t a minor bug when it’s your balance sheet. The enterprise layer solved this with dedicated implementation teams. The SMB layer doesn’t have that luxury. And there’s a harder constraint underneath the implementation problem. AI can prepare the payroll. It cannot certify it. AI can draft the invoice. It cannot legally sign it. In most jurisdictions, financial documents, tax filings, and audit reports require a certified human signature - a professional who engages their legal liability. Claude can do 80% of the work. The last 20% - the part that counts legally - still needs a human with credentials and accountability. Until AI has legal standing to certify, it’s a very powerful assistant. Not a replacement. How long before regulation catches up to the technology - and should it?

  PENGU generated $40m in merchandise revenue, hit 100b GIF impressions, launched a payment card with 100k signups in 24 hours, got an ETF filing from canary capital, testified before congress, and integrated with venmo/paypal through paxos. token is down 84% from ATH. the reason is simple. zero on-chain revenue accrual. no smart contract buybacks. no revenue share. "governance" over an IP you don't own. in may a pudgy wallet moved 137m PENGU ($1.5m) to OKX, bybit, gate, and bitget. price dropped 7%. that's not a buyback program. optimistic math: $40m revenue, 25% to buybacks, $10m annual buy pressure on a $655m FDV. that's a 1.5% yield. pendle PT-USDe pays 6.8%. ethena sUSDe pays 7.53%. solana staking pays 7%. the IP is a legitimate business. the token is structurally disconnected from every dollar it generates. mechanism beats narrative, every single time.

  Has anyone managed to connect PayPal Vault with guest checkout? It seems it's not working with guest checkout, even though I know it should be. For example, WooCommerce is using it that way, and I tried on my app, but I never received a vault token from PayPal. #paypal #question

  @Yaw_nyame35 They do not have any problems with sending speeding tickets by email. And one can pay with PayPal instead of an international money transfer.

  @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.

  I got commissions a year long already but the artists atleast give me updates and WIPs. Unfortunately many other artists take the money and rarely respond until I tell them im gonna chargeback. Thankfully had no issues with paypal but I don't like doing it because I want to support the artists but if they're not even gonna respect me enough to reach out im taking my money back lmao
