  @Mickskinz Web: Microsoft sign-in helper - has the option that you’ve forgotten all your sign in details. I had a nightmare with a fraudulent DD on PayPal. I complained, they did FA. Contacted my bank, NatWest, which cancelled DD and refunded me the money that had been taken. Good luck!

  $PYPL - the thesis played out. It just wasn’t the PayPal I wanted. I bought this quite a long time ago because the valuation was very low versus the cash they were producing. The downside case was that if the price got ugly enough, buybacks would grind it back, or someone would make a bid. That’s what happened. The bid is not where I’d like it to be. It did recoup what I’d lost. I didn’t sell into the offer, and I didn’t double down at the bottom. There might still be talks of a higher number, and the tape has been doing well. I’m thinking about selling now, or holding a while. Waiting and hoping for a better bid is starting to feel unnecessary. This is likely not the company I want to own for a longer time. Especially with Alex Chriss gone. Checkout is still barely growing, accounts are flat, and the growth I originally thought was possible looks a lot less likely to me.

  @AskPayPal Hello @AskPayPal, I am trying to link a valid prepaid Visa/Mastercard to my account, but the system keeps declining it despite having a sufficient balance and matching details. Is there a general restriction on prepaid cards, or how can I fix this?

  Epicentral founder Tony on the roadmap to mainnet, and what has to happen first "I anticipate we'll go live on mainnet this year for sure. I couldn't tell you a specific time frame, but more than a couple of months out from now" "We need legal clarity and we need proper audits, and we can't do that unless we have money. That's the ultimate truth. We can't have this exist on Solana until we have those checks, because we're building a non custodial platform. We want to make sure all the audits are in check, the program is working fine, there's no back door" "On legal clarity, we're already seeing it with the CFTC and the SEC and the crypto roundtables they host, their leniency and open mindedness to innovative financial technology. If I had the opportunity to sit down with them today I'd say, how do we do this with your support, because it needs to exist" "We're already seeing Visa, PayPal and Western Union use Solana's architecture to settle payments. The same thing is going to happen with derivatives. On devnet we already have 120 users as of today, 2 million in options volume across 500 different trades. It's private access right now, but it'll go public beta within the next month or so" FT @TheLazySol @epicentral_ @8bitpenis

  Like everything that use to be good @PayPal is another. Yes i am aware they have been going down hill for a while. But i still used them as I didn’t have an issue till now. Bought dodge items and because they didn’t break within 30 days, even though Australian law gives consumers 12 months, i can’t get my money back through paypal. I am forced to lodge a complaint to fair trading

  Hello everyone just wanna send out a warning to NOT buy any tickets from @Camerella424 !! She’s a scammer and sent me a fake ticket 🫠🫠 I was stupid and fell for her kindness. Her PayPal account was not working and Venmo also flagged the transaction as scam, so what did I do? I used Apple Pay… which doesn’t cover anyone so I’m currently out $450. Everything seemed legit, especially with proof, but turns out I was wrong. Please don’t give me crap for this, I already feel stupid. Just wanted to warn people.

  You act like physical effort is the only way to contribute value, hell even mental effort isn't the only way. The dude literally sold his shares and PayPal and started to pipe dream companies and made them major successes. He risks his wealth, time, energy, and uses his own mental capital to a large extent. Again even out of all the billionaires, how many of them do you know of that average creating a multi-billion dollar company as frequently as Elon musk does? And you act like he's just taking still, it's not about you not insulting him. It's about the fact that you act like he's not creating massive wealth for a large number of other people that are just employees and the grand scheme of things. He employs crap tons of Americans by the way. So you have a funny way of not insulting him by insinuating that he doesn't deserve what no one else has, for being able to do what no one else can or is willing to do. Also it's the f****** dollar Ponzi scheme currency that they can print out of thin air that is your problem not the rich people. It's the Central Bank stupid.

  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?

  @JacobHatesJazz @iKalebHenry I had the same problem. I could only get it to work by using PayPal (which I think cost 2 extra dollars too)

  @Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  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."
