  Hi @AskPayPal , I called customer support today because I need to update the phone number on my account. The agent told me there's currently an internal system issue preventing them from changing phone numbers. Do you have any ETA on when this will be resolved?

  @LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy? They instantly refunded me for 3 purchases from an major anime figure site that closed down suddenly a few years ago. Can't guarantee it'll work though

  @LimzPicks @metrolosin @Betfred “he’s a liar but it’s not funny, if gambling has ruined his life then I don’t think we should be laughing at him, regardless of his errors” it’s literally this kind of empathy from complete strangers that is filling up his PayPal account with donations & because people don’t 4/.

  Airbnb Part 2 I clicked PayPal on a booking just to check the payment flow Airbnb instantly confirmed the reservation and charged me €1,000 without showing any final confirmation screen or asking me to confirm the booking I canceled it within a minute and immediately messaged the host explaining it was a mistake and asking for a refund Then I realized it was non-refundable Turns out the co-host is the same host I had a dispute with a month ago They refused to refund me and Airbnb says they can’t do anything So I’m now €1,000 down with no reservation @Airbnb I really need you to step in here

  Why does X Money pay out so much at 6% APY? It's not a scam but it is bait. Cross River Bank makes its money the usual way and their profit margin is like 5% they can't sustain that + other payouts like 3% cashback. Instead, X Payments LLC which offers the X Money fintech product, is subsidizing the rate. While that's a lot of money, the CAC (customer acquisition cost) is far lower than what other neobank and fintech costs are because they have the X ecosystem behind building the userbase. 6% won't last but it's nice incentive for moving money. Why use it? While I have huge issues with the safety of having an account tied to your X account that can be canceled any time Nikita gets hangry, and I think it creates a stressful conflict of interest for creators "toe the moving line or else". as a tool for driving economic growth on X it has value and still seems better than letting PayPal or someone take your money. Transactions between users are instantaneous and single-bank and only handles are disclosed, it's in-app integrated, high FDIC coverage of $10M versus normal $250k, global free ATM use (reimbursed), early DD, no foreign transaction fees, and the card itself is physically secure with no printed numbers, no raised numbers, no cvv on the back, no magstripe, just your name and encrypted comms via chip/RFID. You can access that info or use a virtual credit card number/cvv/exp at any time by generating it in the app. Why not use it? X gets mad you said a hurty word, closes your account, and mails you the balance... Soft blackmail, do what they want you to do or lose your access. Outside of X, no payment processing available like a virtual POS or shopping cart and chargeback/fraud protection for sellers. For X users who want to conduct transactions on the platform it's a solid choice of methods that avoid creating some platform crypto token or other risky system and it avoids the regulatory/taxation uncertainty and exchange problems of crypto while still providing some anonymity and the means to conduct transfers. The question of whether you want one is purely personal. Do you want a cool stainless steel card with no built-in stupid? Do you think you might like to shuffle money around on X? If you're already a subscriber then that incentive money is your money, why not get some of it back as payment for giving their startup a chance? I've received 10% of my subscription fee back in 'rewards' already and haven't even used the card yet so it's not like it cost me anything to try it out but I won't be storing cash on it since I can literally be banned for no reason by mass report abuse or something I'll never trust it.

  @KissMyCarol Too much de-banking and platforms making decisions based on social credit. I know the D banking has greatly improved and is likely not going to come back in a big way. But I had a PayPal account and they had put out several years ago that if you made unacceptable statements on social media Facebook etc. that they would confiscate up to $2500 from your bank account And sequester that money for your PayPal purchases. So I eliminated my PayPal account and I refuse to work with any corporation that threatens me. I don't think that X will do anything like that but I don't know what will happen down the road and I just don't trust what already happened to me Also how's your first night of retirement?

  @jvkenya Yes, you could read the article, where I go through the myth of that story: The “emerald mine heir” story is equally false. Musk left South Africa at 17 with roughly $2,000 Canadian dollars. He worked in a lumber mill. He lived in a youth hostel and later with relatives. After college he was more than $100,000 in debt. His first company, Zip2, began with a single computer he had built himself. Because he could not afford a second machine, he coded at night so the same computer could run the company’s server during the day. He wrote the initial platform himself. His father’s brief involvement with emeralds in the early 1980s produced no lasting wealth; by 2000 Errol Musk was bankrupt and later became financially dependent on his son. The capital that later funded Tesla and SpaceX came from the sale of Zip2 and then PayPal - companies Musk built from near-zero.

  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.
