  @PayPal has now extended its PYUSD stable coin for usage in Malawi. What does this mean for the average Malawian or business? a thread/text/whatever well, this means a good step in the right direction but still practically nothing substantial for the average Malawian. Why you ask? 1. Mostly because with the forex situation in Malawi, the only way yo access/deposit money into paypal is through the parallel market which is expensive in itself without considering the huge fees that come with PayPal services. So basically for you to buy PYUSD, you still have to deposit money into your paypal account which requires your bank card to have a USD allocation, and we know most of us dont have the connections. BUT!, On the bright side, being a stable coin this means that if you are able to get your hands on the PYUSD you can transfer it to another paypal or venmo account globally with no fees and instantly. But charges are there for any conversion or withdraw from their stable coin “PYUSD” to any other crypto coin on the blockchain. This is Crypto 101, you are better off just using any-other crypto coin than this BS really. 2. Paypal runs custodial wallets. what this means is that; as you own an account with them, you are subject to their scrutiny in terms of identification, proving source of funds and explaining any “shady” transactions in your account. They will literally scrutinize every transaction that comes and goes in and out of your account. This is where being a third world citizen of a country like malawi starts to work against you. Because we are flagged as high risk areas when it comes to fraud and money laundering, and this is why you always hear stores from people talking about having their money frozen by paypal without proper explanations. You can literally avoid this by just using another other crypto services out there, the scrutiny is there but not as much. 3. This is not a new service or breakthrough as Paypal is putting out to be, we already have access to better stable crypto coins that can be accessed through more friendlier services such as binance,bitget, trust wallet, etc you name it. But!, Am not saying there are no problems there, but you will have a less of a hustle using those platforms. I for one, have been using binance for years now, and have never gotten my money frozen, you can literally send and receive money to/from any user on Binance across the globe with zero charges and instantly. If you have heard of people getting rich off crypto pakatipa, this is where the loophole was exploited but thats a story for another day. I can keep going, but these are the main 3 reasons why @PayPal introducing its PYUSD in Malawian changes anything for you as an average Malawian. Rock on!

  @Uzwzp63636 They should be, but the algos seem to hate PayPal for pretty much everything, macro concerns, AI fears, government data releases, you name it. The bigger issue is that investors simply don't trust this management team. The market wants urgency, execution, and accountability $PYPL

  How many of you had the problem of people "interested on your art" "paying you by PayPal" just to send you phishing mails? 🌚 Because today was my second.

I am really struggling and I’ve missed a lot of work this week due to this, now I’m hospitalised I know I’m gonna be here for at least five days and that’s the bare minimum. You’ll start buying the **** out of some content or bless me. I’ll post my links below. I don’t do this, but like I said, I’m having a very very hard time and this is very unexpected I’m trying to earn it and I’m not asking for handouts thank you.

  We love helping merchants solve payment processing problems. Ironically, most merchants come to us because they're facing issues nobody else could solve. Over the years, I've noticed there are usually two types of merchants: 1. White-hat operators building real brands. 2. Gray/black-hat operators looking for MIDs they can burn through. Processors want your volume. Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, banks, and processors make money when merchants succeed. They don't shut down good businesses for fun. They shut down businesses when the data suggests risk. If you're a legitimate merchant having processing issues, there's usually something that can be fixed: Chargebacks. Fulfillment. Customer service. Billing practices. Risk presentation. That's solvable. If you're intentionally hiding risk or burning accounts, eventually the industry catches up. Payment processing isn't about getting approved. It's about becoming the type of business banks and processors want to keep.
