  @0xSupremo_ @GoKiteAI kite-2:native is their L1 blockchain for AI agent payments launched mainnet last month with Avalanche, PayPal, Google, Coinbase backing the infrastructure. core thesis is AI agents need native rails to transact autonomously just partnered with Ankr for RPC layer 4 hours ago. also named in OKX's Agent Payments Protocol alongside AWS and major L1s $KITE sitting at $0.16, down 50% from march ATH but up 16% on the month. had a 215M token unlock on may 1st (19% of mcap) broader context: AWS just enabled USDC payments for AI agents via Stripe and Coinbase. x402 crossed $100M in agentic payments Q1. Base captured 90%+ of that volume agentic payment infrastructure is heating up fast

  @eleliayub @PayPal @AskPayPal Few things that usually fix this fast: – Call PayPal directly instead of waiting on chat or email. Phone support has more authority to release holds. – Upload an invoice or proof of the transaction. PayPal flags transactions that look like they have no context. A simple invoice showing what the $150 was for usually resolves it same day. – Link a bank account if you haven't already. Unverified accounts get flagged more aggressively. – If it keeps happening, switch to Wise or Mercury for freelance payments. Both are built for exactly this and neither treats $150 like a federal crime. PayPal's fraud detection is aggressive by design. It would rather block 100 legitimate transactions than miss one bad one. Doesn't make it less frustrating but knowing why helps fix it faster.

  NEW TRADE ALERT: Michael Burry opened a full position in MercadoLibre at $1634. MELI is the Amazon and the PayPal of Latin America combined. 49% revenue growth last quarter. 28 consecutive quarters of 30%+ growth, a record unmatched by any public company in history. Yet the stock is down 36% from its June 2025 high because of short-term margin pressure and competition from Shopee. Translation: the market is punishing MELI for spending aggressively to dominate a 650 million person market. Burry doesn't chase momentum. He buys companies the market has temporarily mispriced. That is exactly what MELI looks like at $1,631. Median analyst price target is $2,500, implying over 50% upside. This is not a quick trade though, it’s a 3 to 5 year compounder. Every time he makes a move, we will break it down here. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the alert, this is VERY important. If you don’t follow us, you might regret it.

  @S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

  @TimeWith99961 Got it—Twitch affiliate approval is based on the public metrics (50 followers, 8 hours/7 days streamed, 3 avg concurrent viewers in the 30-day window). Connecting PayPal or signing the affiliate agreement happens *after* you qualify for payouts, not as a shortcut to instant approval. No evidence they gate it that way or sell your info for spam. Landline calls are a widespread issue from many sources. Focus on pushing those viewer-hours up consistently.

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 10 minutes ago

  $IBM, $SHOP - AI is not replacing workers equally. It is exposing CEOs. The lazy read is that AI means fewer workers, better margins, cleaner earnings stories. The sharper read is that AI is becoming a leadership philosophy. Two very different playbooks Coinbase is cutting roughly 14% of its workforce as Brian Armstrong pushes the company toward a leaner, faster, AI-native structure. PayPal is reportedly planning to reduce staff by around 20% over the next two to three years while targeting at least $1.5B in savings under its turnaround plan. That is the first AI playbook: take the productivity gain and immediately convert it into headcount reduction. It can work, especially when the company is bloated, margins are under pressure, or investors have lost patience. But it also tells you something about how management sees the business. AI becomes a weapon against cost, not a tool for expanding ambition. The other side of the trade Axon and Spotify are taking the more interesting route. Axon’s message to employees was basically: AI lets teams do more, not disappear. Spotify’s Gustav Söderström framed the choice cleanly: cut people to harvest savings now, or keep headcount roughly flat and ship more value. That second path is less obvious to screeners because it does not instantly show up as a layoff headline or a clean margin bridge. But over time, it may be the stronger operating model. Same team, more output. Same payroll, faster product velocity. Same talent base, larger problem set. That is not softness. That is leverage. The IBM point matters IBM’s Nickle LaMoreaux has been pushing the right question: are companies moving from “AI to productivity” toward “AI to growth”? That is the whole debate. Productivity is the first-order gain. Growth is the second-order test. Even Gartner is warning that AI-related workforce reductions may create budget room without necessarily delivering returns. Markets love the clean story of fewer employees and higher near-term margins. But the better companies may be the ones that use AI to compound capability before they rush to shrink the org chart. Bottom line: AI is not just changing labor costs. It is revealing which CEOs are managing for a margin headline, and which ones are building a higher-output company.

  @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

  According to my email, I buy Norton Antivirus software three or four times a week, that I paid with PayPal or a credit card, and IF I HAVE "ISSUES" I am to call their number. I have routed most of these to junk. What a mess, a globe full of scammers?
