  Ripple's CEO just explained why XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  I'm really happy people like my art, but I really can't open commission, cuz my PayPal account is kinda broken right now. So there's just no point of asking the same thing.

  @wondercrater Generally, PayPal is preferred… If you're paying in cash, Japanese yen is preferred, but wouldn't that be a hassle for you to exchange? If that's too much trouble, U.S. dollars are fine, too!

  @mike18200 @ScamDetective5 Visa and Mastercard aren't connected to SWIFT's network, they're separate rails. PayPal isn't either. Name something actually plugged into SWIFT's own 11,500-bank messaging system that solves the last-mile problem SWIFT described in its own words. That's the question. Still waiting. You can name ****, but you're not actually given the connection similar to the one that I made. Just saying **** doesn't work, man. He's a Mastercard PayPal may have initiative adjacent to swift. But I'm asking how are they connected to SWIFT and SWIFT utilizing them for transaction settlement? Mastercard is actually connected to Thunes. And earlier you said that just because Thunes is being used by swift doesn't mean that they're gonna use whatever Thunes is offering. So if your name and Mastercard, you have to go about that same logic. But because you don't know what you're talking about and you're just naming ****, you're tripping up over your own statements. So going through Thunes, what is SWIFT gonna use? Mastercard or XRP? Which solves the issue that SWIFT partnered with Thunes to solve?

  The Third Batch Theory Why one Facebook vendor believed a third shipment would reveal the truth. This case involves a Facebook advertiser known as Linda and a customer who ordered three batches of the products. After the results of the first batch came back as zero Reta and zero HGH, the customer contacted the rep and her response was to wait before sending the second batch for testing to see if they send him the third batch. Her reasoning was unusual. She told the customer that if a third batch was sent, it would suggest the company believed the products were genuine. If no third batch arrived, she speculated that the products might simply contain added protein, have no effect and pose little risk. Assuring the customer they just want to make money and not cause health problems for their customers. When the customer asked whether the products were fake, Linda stopped short of giving a definitive answer. Instead, she said she wasn’t sure and that it depended on whether the company sent the third batch. According to the customer, that third shipment never arrived. The customer later told me they believed the supplier stopped shipping after becoming aware that the products were being questioned and tested. They also said they successfully recovered at least one payment through PayPal after the seller failed to respond to the dispute. In addition the exact same kits are being sold by a what's app vendor called Jack as the shipment pictures are exactly the same

  ELON MUSK’S #1 REGRET: HE TOOK 70 SECONDS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION He reflected on his carrer and revealed the biggest mistake he’s made across his companies, including his first startup and PayPal. The error? Prioritizing raw talent over personality. Musk admitted he made this mistake multiple times, wrongly believing that "it's just about the brain". He eventually realized that while intelligence is important, it actually matters significantly whether a person has a good heart.

  I bet your mom has never used a crypto app. Mine hasn’t either. But she already uses: WhatsApp✅ Banking apps✅ GPay✅ PayPal✅ So the problem isn't that moms can't use financial apps. Crypto apps simply weren’t designed for them. Now imagine you work thousands of miles away and send money home every month. An app helps you send it. Your mom receives it. And the app’s job is done. But your family’s financial needs aren’t. What if the same app stayed useful after the money arrived? That’s the startup: a financial home for families living across borders. Remittance is just the beginning. Here’s what @SumiroStudio should build on Solana 🧵👇

  @AskPayPal @AskPayPal @PayPal I need urgent help. A US-based company is trying to send me a payment, but it was blocked with Error Code 14764. My card is fully confirmed, but I am located in Algeria, which might be triggering this compliance block. I cannot DM you. Could you please help me

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.
