CEO_Vader (@CEO_Vader) reported@cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness

Simon Taylor (@sytaylor) reported🚨 JUST IN: Former PayPal CEO David Marcus just unveiled a stablecoin banking product for businesses and AI agents. Stablecoin balances. Yield. Payments. Cards. All chain-native, all behind an API. This is Banking-as-a-Service but onchain. --- Banking-as-a-Service is getting rebuilt on stablecoin rails. The old stack - Middleware (e.g. Unit / Synctera) - Galileo - FBO accounts at a sponsor bank There's now a chain-native version. - Squads Grid does it on Solana. - Bridge built it for fintechs, payroll and non banks - BVNK ships it embedded. Lightspark now joins them, with distribution into 65 countries and a Bitcoin L2 underneath. --- I keep thinking about how the "account" itself is being unbundled. What used to be a sub-ledger entry at a partner bank becomes a programmable smart account that holds dollars, settles 24/7, keeps its own yield, issues cards, and accepts agent-scoped permissions. The bank charter turns into a feature you plug in for accessing other rails. --- The agent piece is marketing, but its also more than that. Lightspark is already inside Google's AP2 protocol. As agents want to become platforms in their own right, re-sell financial services to their customers, they'd want a BaaS like thing. Why not go for something that uses stablecoins? --- Marcus has THE most fascinating back story - Former CEO of PayPal, has moved money traditionally - Behind Libra at Meta a global bank account and "stablecoin" that regulators pushed back on. Now this is a global stablecoin bank account distributed through an API, post-GENIUS Act, sold to businesses and machines. Sometimes timing is everthing. Does this compliment or commoditize BaaS over time? I expect the answer becomes obvious within 18 months.

Weary Centurion (@weary_centurion) reported$PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the *** after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame

samus 🐰 (@samuschillhouse) reported@comikawen @PayPal I really hope it helps you! It did help me at the time and never had the same problem again! Let me know if it didn't help and I'll search for another video!

Ask PayPal (@AskPayPal) reported@uday1kiran Reliable ways to identify a PayPal number PayPal rarely calls you without request PayPal does not make unsolicited phone calls. If someone calls claiming there’s an “urgent problem,” it’s very likely a scam. Phone numbers depend on the country PayPal does not have a single universal phone number. Numbers vary by region and can change. The only safe way to confirm a number is: Log in to your PayPal account Go to Help Center > Contact Us Check the official phone numbers listed for your country If the number is not listed there, do not trust it.

M/Y MidnightSalt (@MYMidnightSalt) reported@Conste11ation Just wanted you to know what the "first purchase" experience was like. The first purchase was declined.. It was to buy Dag on Uphold using Paypal through Gemini. It was a mastercharge issue, not a problem with my account. However, the "customer service" person did not know what digital assets were, did not know what DAG was, did not know what Constellation was, and thought it would be fun to speak at the exact same time I was asking where could I use the card to buy digital assets. Im curious why the employees have no idea how to buy DAG or where the card works to buy $DAG? Or is Gemini just another card that you cant buy digital assets that you get back digital assets instead of cash when you use the card? Basically worthless for buying digital assets?

DisgruntledPatriot (@Freaky4Freedom) reported@DorLinder @MAC_ARMY1 I got a letter from PayPal saying the investigation of my account was complete and they found that I owe them money. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I deleted it.

Maverick (@Maverick_usa2) reported@Cointelegraph Big move by PayPal — doubling down on crypto and payments signals serious long-term commitment 🚀

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

UncleJohn (@JohnLWinter1) reportedSo @PayPalUK @PayPal have let a scammer who was able to infiltrate their system including SMS to take 797£ out of my nominated bank account. I have tried three times to raise the case and each time they say it’s a legitimate transaction. Terrible service from @PayPalUK

NASH 🥀🔞 (@peachinash) reportedDid that girl actually scam a proshipper? No, 100% she didnt. If she did, we would hear from the person who got scammed. Not only that, but if she did scam them, and is bragging about it on the internet, it’d be soooooo easy to get their paypal account taken down

Joe Kerick (@JoeKerick) reported@PayPal please somebody tell me how to get in touch with anyone from this company. Being told I have a negative account of 175$ which they say is linked to my account now and with no chance to resolve my account went from limited to closed. Terrible customer service . Need help

Sherif (@sherif584) reported@asha_shar @XboxGamePassPC @Xbox To the Xbox team, In Egypt we face a major issue: only credit cards work, as local debit cards don't support USD payments. Please consider adding PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay to improve accessibility for Egyptian players. Thanks
