  @codeofvets @PayPal Hey, @PayPal, what's your problem? Helping veterans should be a top priority, shouldn't it? Figure it out.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @stripe I have to agree with you. I have had serious issues with PayPal and a far smaller account. At this point, I do not believe they can be trusted.

  @voi_scooters terrible exchange with your chat agent the other day. I can’t pay you for a ride I took. Nationwide, Applepay, PayPal and Amex all declined on your site. All my cards and payment platforms work on other sites. Your agent told me to sort it out myself! Ridiculous!!

  Why Every Fintech Will Eventually Become a Stablecoin Company Fintech is undergoing a massive backend shift. Most people are completely missing it. To the casual observer, it looks like tech apps are just chasing a trendy feature. Neobanks are adding wallets. Trading apps are adding tokens. It looks like another way to sell retail users a speculative asset. It isn't. Fintech companies aren’t adopting stablecoins for retail hype. They are using them to completely replace legacy banking plumbing. For twenty years, "fintech" has been a lie. It was just a beautiful software wrapper over a 50-year-old banking backend. Apps made money look instant. Behind the scenes, the actual cash still took days to settle via outdated clearinghouses. That model is officially dead Cutting the Middlemen Traditional finance runs on intermediate networks. Every cross-border move, merchant gateway, or currency swap requires multiple middleman banks. Each takes a cut. Each adds a delay. For fintechs, this means high fees and lost time. Stablecoins solve both instantly. Look at Stripe. They bought the infrastructure platform Bridge for $1.1 billion. This wasn't a play for crypto traders; it was a direct attack on credit card fees. By settling transactions in seconds on public blockchains like Solana, Stripe cuts costs down to a flat 1.5%. That is well below the typical credit card baseline. The math on revenue changes too. Historically, stablecoin issuers kept 100% of the interest on cash reserves. Today's programmable infrastructure allows fintechs to issue their own digital dollars, manage the treasury, and pocket that interest themselves. Upgrading the Global Ledger Stablecoins are simply a superior, 24/7 global ledger. Tech giants are bypassing traditional networks to build direct paths for capital. The proof is in the latest headlines: - PayPal: In March 2026, PayPal expanded its stablecoin (PYUSD) into 70 global markets. Accepting traditional international payments usually means high FX fees and weeks of friction. With PYUSD, global merchants receive and use their proceeds in minutes. Working capital keeps moving. - Revolut: The digital banking giant is preparing for a US bank expansion. They plan to offer stablecoin services right alongside insured checking accounts. Instead of routing international payments over slow wire systems, they can move capital instantly for a fraction of the cost. - Robinhood & Remittances: Traditional finance sleeps on weekends, but modern markets do not. Round-the-clock trading requires an instant, programmable settlement asset. Meanwhile, traditional remittance apps face an existential crisis. The old model of pre-funding physical cash vaults globally is slow and capital-inefficient. Shifting the backend to digital dollars allows apps to move money across borders instantly for pennies. If a remittance company stays on old rails, it will lose on price and speed. The New Baseline The first era of fintech was about fixing the frontend user experience. The next era is about rebuilding the backend infrastructure. Soon, the line between a "fintech company" and a "stablecoin company" will vanish entirely. Running a financial platform on legacy bank rails is becoming a distinct competitive disadvantage. The fintechs that win the next decade won't have the flashiest user interfaces. They will be the ones built on top of an invisible, high-velocity, on-chain settlement layer.

  @Xmusknewsx You act as if Elon is Scrooge McDuck, squirreling away his money in a mattress. He's not. His worth is in holdings — like a house — **not** in raw cash. The value of his holdings would shrink bigly were he to start selling them for cash. He's using his money, investing it in various business enterprises, which includes providing jobs for his employees and all those other folks who provide him with services and supplies. If your ideological approach were applied to his PayPal success, we wouldn't have Tesler cars, Starlink or other of his projects. Nor would the people he employed to build, supply, are employed by or provide services to, his projects have benefitted. Those people, in turn, keep the economy flourishing by buying food, clothes, cars, insurance, & etc. Is this process something you really what to shut down? Would you rejoice were Musk and his entrepreneurial proclivities stopped by PayPal taxes?

  PayPal will gradually shut down its venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures, and is considering selling some of its investment positions through the secondary market. PayPal is shutting down its 10-year-old corporate venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures. It is understood that

  @klose_alfred @myaltfr @myaltfr do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  It’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

  🇩🇪 I decided to buy in BMW, which is the largest stock purchase in my portfolio, slightly surpassing the Paypal purchase. Yes, yes, I agree, the extreme-left is tearing apart European manufacturing, but, firstly, they are not that strong anymore, Farage, AFD and others are breathing down their necks. This is a good bet on the progressives' constant defeat. Secondly, the discount is large. Not investment advice.
