  Steve Schramm (@swschramm) reported 13 seconds ago

  A customer told us they couldn't pay an invoice yesterday. The account looked fine and the invoice was marked sent, so this would've been easy to chalk up to user error. Exa opened the actual customer portal. The invoice was there with Print and Download buttons… and no way to pay. Then it pulled a previous paid invoice from the same account and compared the payment options. The older one had PayPal, Stripe, and Zoho Payments attached. The new one had an empty gateway list. They never reached checkout because the invoice didn't offer one. We stopped there and routed the exact fix back for approval: attach the existing gateways and resend the corrected link. No test charge, no “try again” email, no guessing. I would've probably sent them a fresh copy of the same broken link. Seeing the portal exactly as the customer saw it changed the whole diagnosis.

  @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned Troy - a reminder that Proton was banned from PayPal. So their funding was done with Bitcoin. This is easy to set up with a @BtcpayServer server. I have faith in you. Gosh, even Pavel _himself_ just offered to help. So pls don't lose your legendary tech status Troy....

  @unnuovoinizio1 @antoninaodesssa @tatyanaodesssa I attempted to send money via PayPal. However, as I mentioned before, transfers from Japan result in an error. This has been happening for some time. It is a problem unique to Japan and serves as one of the barriers to support for Ukraine from the Japanese people. Are there any other ways to send money?

  One thing I think many people are going to confuse over the next few years is this: Tokenized deposits and stablecoins are often spoken about as if they're the same thing. And they aren't. Yes, they both represent digital forms of money. But they were designed to solve different problems. A tokenized deposit is still bank money. Your claim is against a regulated commercial bank. It sits inside the traditional banking system, benefits from the protections that system provides, and is designed to make banking itself more efficient. Think of initiatives like JPM Coin or Citi Token Services. They're not trying to replace banks. They're helping banks evolve. Stablecoins take a different approach. Instead of living inside the banking perimeter, they move across open blockchain networks. They're designed for interoperability. For global payments, for programmability, for an internet-native financial system where value can move as easily as information. USDC, USDT, and PayPal USD all fall into this category. Neither model is "better." They optimize for different things. One prioritizes trust within the existing financial system. The other prioritizes openness and accessibility across blockchain networks. And I think this distinction is going to matter a lot more than people realize. As tokenization grows, the future won't be built on a single form of digital money. It will likely be built on both. Understanding the difference isn't just about learning new terminology. It's about understanding how the next generation of financial infrastructure is being assembled.

  David Sacks Reveals How the PayPal Mafia Got Started —"They saw the founding generation at PayPal as just a problem—just a bunch of cowboys they couldn't control." David: "To be honest, that's why PayPal has stagnated. As soon as it was acquired back in 2002, they basically blew out all the founders, all the founding DNA, and it was just kind of run by consulting types. You got to remember at that time it was acquired by eBay, and Meg Whitman had worked at Proctor and Gamble and Disney, and she spent like eight years at Bain. It was a very corporate mindset. Among all the internet companies of that era, it was definitely the most corporatist, and they saw the founding generation at PayPal as just a problem—just a bunch of cowboys they couldn't control. They made no effort to retain them, and I think they were kind of relieved when they all left. That's what created the PayPal mafia; normally in an acquisition, you'd lock up all the talent, but in this case, they locked them out. Jason: "They were like, 'These guys are hard to manage, change the keys.'" David: "I've said for a long time it's a misnomer to call it the PayPal mafia. It's really the PayPal diaspora." "Our homeland was taken over and they burned our temple and then kicked everybody out." "And that's why the whole PayPal mafia got started with all those companies."
