  @Gold_Phishy @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned His bank, NatWest, told him that it is blocking payments to PayPal accounts for his protection. He has used the same account for years to pay me via PayPal without any problems, until now.

  I can't receive payment from my sales on acggoods due to PayPal Thailand's terrible service. Therefore, I have to wait until my sales reach $500 before I can meet the payment requirement via Ko-Fi from acggoods. 🫠🫠🫠🫠 Please help me buy a new PC and a new bed. 🦐🦐🦐🦐

  Why consider selling? Intense competition from Apple Pay, Block, Affirm, Klarna, Stripe & more. PayPal stock is down 18% YTD and 35% from last year. Nothing confirmed yet.

  A personal confession about HandCash... I hated web 3.0 gaming with all my soul. And I felt like I had to give in... I couldn't talk about it with confidence. My last public presentation was in NY for the event Unbounded held there. I barely could speak... I looked like an idiot. I had zero confidence. We were pivoting out of desperation, not because we had solid grounds to do so. The little traction we got by the end of BSV, was because our top 3-4 clients were doing web3 gaming, and my team eventually convinced me to go all in with it, but again... Mostly because we saw no other way out. They (investors) would rather see the company die than let us use another blockchain other than BSV... I didn't know I had the power to change things until a year later, though... I'm a very loyal person and I honored our investors' money and agendas a little too much, perhaps. In part because I felt I had no choice, after all our revenue was nowhere near our expenses. Which is fine, this was very experimental and you needed funding, and I was really honored they supported our vision. But now I see things very differently. I could have been more firm about what needed to be done, or else... We only used the "or else" at the end, when I told the team we were shutting down by the end of the month and to find a new job, BEFORE investors knew about it. The alarm was raised and we got convinced to keep the lights on because HandCash was essential to BSV's ecosystem. We on average were handling through our infrastructure 30 to 60% of all BSVs transactions. We agreed to it and we all knew it was coming to an end. Eventually that led into an acquisition from their side and the very minute my contract was up, I quit. Thing is, it was all going nowhere at that point. We were running out of money and I couldn't raise one single cent despite us having really strong KPIs... No investor wanted to explain why they had the "scammy" BSV on their portfolio. Sometimes it's just that simple. My baby, our baby... I am still convinced, on any other blockchain, we could have become bigger than PayPal. To this day no other payment infrastructure I've seen is capable to replicate what we built on many levels... Still, didn't matter. I never wanted to share what I think about Craig or Calvin, but people keep asking. So here we go... About Calvin Ayre... Honestly, despite how everything unfolded, I have nothing bad to say about the man. He was a true believer in BSV and HandCash. Super fan. But Calvin, you had a few opportunities to savage BSV in terms of PR, but chose to double down on Craig's narrative... Idk maybe you felt a big loyalty towards him and that was stronger than any reputational damages Craig was causing. I wish we had talked more often though. I called you once just to let you know that I wanted to help you. Not asking for more from you, but to offer you my collaboration. Anyway... Thank you, sir. Really appreciated for what you did and how you supported us. About Craig... Oh boy. The funny thing is, I always had a good relationship with THE MAN in person. And his wife and son. Do I believe he's Satoshi? Well, I do believe he was involved. He taught us things privately in their London offices that lead to some of the coolest UI/UX innovations we had for HandCash. The man was talking about things that were really contrarian to what all the Antonopoulos and such were talking about. And he was right. Craig has one of that kind of deeeeeeeep knowledge on the essence of Bitcoin that you only see in founders. But here's the thing... It doesn't matter one bit if you always make the wrong decision PR wise. PERCEPTION IS REALITY. I told you that I don't know how many times, sir. Remember when I took you to lunch before the fork and told you how things would unfold if you embraced this Satoshi Vision path? Exactly how they did. But "Bitcoin is my baby" We all have babies. And sometimes, our poor judgement kills them. Good night.

  27-year-old Elon Musk paid $200 a month for a leaky roof office and slept in it because it was cheaper than an apartment. Summer of 1995, no money, no income, so he showered at the YMCA for 4 months and worked out of the nastiest place you can imagine. The office had 1 hidden advantage an internet provider sat on the floor below, so he drilled a hole in the concrete and plugged straight into their server for near-free bandwidth. He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either, so he read a white paper and wrote an emulator, skipped the web server entirely to save CPU cycles, read port 8080 directly, and coded the first national maps, directions and yellow pages on the internet that summer in C with a little C++. The company was Zip2 online city guides, where to eat, how to get around. By 1998 CBS came to film the vintage Jaguar, the 6-figure salary, the dog, the house, the girlfriend, and a market Microsoft had tried to enter and failed. Then the reporter asked the standard 1998 question where is the internet going? The 27-year-old answered like he’d already seen the ending: “The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.” That was 28 years ago and he was describing a feed. A year later Zip2 sold for $307M, the money became X com, X com became PayPal, and PayPal became rockets. It all started with a drill and the server downstairs.

  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.

  The $33 trillion asterisk Nobody fact-checks a bullish headline. A few months ago I wrote that stablecoins had surpassed ACH in monthly settlement volume, and the line did exactly what lines like that do - it traveled. It is also true, which is the dangerous part. True statements with a narrow frame are how entire markets talk themselves into conclusions the data doesn't support. So consider this essay the correction I owe my own chart. The annual picture Zoom out from one good month to the full year and the picture rearranges itself. On an annual basis for 2025, stablecoins settled roughly $33 trillion. ACH settled $89 trillion. SEPA, by my full-year projection built on available ECB data and historical growth trends, reached about $259 trillion - a figure so large it makes the rest of the chart look like rounding error. This is the trouble with absorbed narratives. The monthly comparison was real, but it captured a moment, not a structure. Structurally, the plumbing of the developed world still runs through bank rails that most crypto commentary has never bothered to size. SEPA alone moves nearly eight times what all stablecoins combined moved last year. You cannot claim to be replacing a system you are still an order of magnitude away from matching. What the $33 trillion actually is The honest cut goes deeper. That $33 trillion headline number is settlement volume - every transfer that touched a chain, including exchange flows, market-making, arbitrage loops, and the same dollar bouncing between wallets five times before lunch. Strip that out and ask a narrower question: how much of this is actual payments, someone paying someone for something? The answer hovers around $250 billion. Not trillion. Billion. Against ACH or SEPA, that is not a competitor, it is a rounding error on a rounding error. It is also, and this matters, exactly what an early-stage payment system looks like. Card networks in their first decade were a curiosity too. The gap between headline volume and organic payment volume is not a scandal - it is a measure of how young this market still is, and anyone quoting the big number without the small one is selling you something. Where the comparison flips None of this means the bearish frame wins. Run the comparison against the systems stablecoins most resemble - consumer and commercial payment networks rather than interbank plumbing - and the result is startling. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and PayPal together settled about $30.5 trillion in 2025. Stablecoins did $33 trillion. Four decades of card network infrastructure, hundreds of millions of terminals, the most entrenched consumer habits in finance - and a technology that barely existed ten years ago now moves more value annually than all of them combined. Yes, the volume is a different kind of volume. But the rails are real, the settlement is final, and the growth curve has not flattened once. The long game So both things are true at once, and the discipline is holding them together. Stablecoins lag ACH and SEPA by multiples on annual volume, and their organic payment activity is still in its infancy. Stablecoins also already out-settle the entire card network complex, on infrastructure that gets cheaper and faster every year while bank rails get committee meetings. Growth compounds quietly and then all at once. The monthly ACH crossover that started this essay was not the finish line I framed it as - it was an early data point on a curve that keeps bending the same direction. The future of stablecoins is not a prediction anymore. It is a volume chart, updating year after year, and the only real question left is how long the asterisks stay attached.

  favorite bug today: re-subscribing to a free membership failed with "there's a problem with the creator's PayPal account" — even if the creator had no PayPal account. root cause: a guard for one rare PayPal edge case fired on anything with no stored card. free = no card. fixed.
