  Of course I have no proof other than my guy lol PayPal is strict but ...Yes and no, the no isn't in the sense where they are doing something wrong. However, they only issue income tax papers IF they have a business number for her. They don't require this at least from Ontario Canadians BC there is an income earned threshold where we HAVE TO have a buness number. PayPal can and does ask but again it's not required until they ask for it. I've a business account for 2 decades. They asked me for a business number only 6-7 months ago.

  📋 Before you book with TRIPATHALF, know this: 🔸 Can't club with other offers/wallet/coupons 🔸 No PayPal, My Wallet, or COD payments 🔸 Not valid on Reserve Now Pay Later 🔸 Cancel later? You lose the discount too, not just the fare 🔸 Enter the code correctly — miss it and there's no retroactive fix Read the fine print before you hit book.

  The Singapore concert, last minute had some Western Union issue with the TS account . I had already paid a small amount for my queue with no problem but while paying a bigger amount something went wrong. TS did not have PayPal. So I thought will try for WE FM in Taipei but again KKTIX platform my mobile could not be verified inspite of multiple mails coz for The top tier tickets it needed to be verified 😭😭😭. Here also I paid about 4USD to Queue :( My badluck. I'm just hoping my luck won't be the same for WE concert coz I really really need it for so many reasons will tell you when and if we meet 🥹

  Banks used to be heavyweight investments. Not so much anymore. Look at the last 138 days: XLF (Financials) is now behaving almost like XLU (Utilities) — slow, low-growth, defensive. Meanwhile fintech and crypto keep taking share: • Payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, Chime, X Money…) • Digital banking • DeFi / crypto rails • Even newer players moving into underwriting Traditional banks are losing the energy that used to make them cyclical leaders. Capital and growth are flowing elsewhere. The sector chart makes it pretty clear. Anyone else seeing this shift?

  @Venmo @PayPal I am totally in a quandary with Venmo. I have been suspended and I don’t know why. I sent my photo ID to them as they requested but it has still been months and no word. I can find no answers to what probably is an easy fix

  @pb_steele If I use the paypal card I have to make sure I only do one large purchase or at least one month, since you can’t assign what purchase gets paid down with additional principal payments… or I’ll have to pay off the 0% int purchases all at once, so they don’t pop.

  Peter Thiel stood in front of Stanford students in 2014 and told them competition is for losers. He had already founded PayPal, co-founded Palantir, and backed Facebook. The room was full of people who had spent their entire lives winning competitions. He told them the game itself was the problem. Create X dollars of value for the world. Capture Y percent of X. Those two numbers are independent. Airlines generated $195 billion in U.S. revenue that year. Google did $50 billion. Cumulative profits of the entire U.S. airline industry over a hundred years: roughly zero. Google’s market cap already dwarfed the sector. Perfect competition looks efficient on a chalkboard. In practice it destroys capital. Monopoly looks dangerous on a chalkboard. In practice it compounds for decades. Non-monopolists lie by shrinking the market: “We’re the only British restaurant in Palo Alto.” Monopolists lie by expanding it: “We’re just one advertising company in a $500 billion global market.” The actual move is the opposite of what business school teaches. Start in a market so small it looks worthless. Own it completely. Then expand in concentric circles. PayPal began with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook began with 10,000 Harvard students. Both looked like toys until the circle grew. Most of a technology company’s value lives in cash flows ten to twenty years out. Growth is easy to measure. Durability is what the market actually prices. “All happy companies are different. All unhappy companies are alike because they failed to escape the essential sameness of competition.” The lecture is free on YouTube. The book is $15. Every framework fits on a napkin. Almost every founder on X posts the title while competing in the same crowded category as everyone else. The lecture is free. The willingness to walk past the crowded door and take the empty gate nobody is watching is a much rarer commodity than the advice itself.

  @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?

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment couter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. .

  Money becomes useless to an autonomous agent when it gets trapped in the wrong financial system An agent might: earn $500 through a checkout provider hold $200 in USDC have a card issued by another provider need to pay a SaaS merchant that only accepts cards Those are all "money" but operationally they are different islands Customer pays → money sits in Provider A Agent needs to spend → purchasing power exists in Provider B So WE (Humans) have to move/reconfigure/fund things for our AI agents And their autonomy collapses the moment money gets stuck The hard problem isn't giving an agent money It's making sure money earned in one system can become purchasing power in another without a human moving it Earn here → hold there → spend somewhere else → keep going An agent should be able to earn through one provider, hold value somewhere else, move that value when needed, spend through another rail, and keep reinvesting what it earns without a human stepping in to bridge the gaps My goal with Mandate is to give autonomous AI agents that economic freedom I want anyone to be able to have an intelligence that can create value, earn from that value, reinvest what it earns, and compound it into something bigger over time That's why Mandate had to be open source and provider agnostic No single financial provider covers every way an agent might earn, hold, move, or spend money One agent might receive revenue through Stripe, hold USDC in Coinbase, spend through Lithic, and use a bridge in between. Another might use entirely different providers Receive: Stripe / PayPal / stablecoins / marketplace payouts Hold: bank / financial account / wallet / stablecoin treasury Move: ACH / wire / bridge / onchain transfer Spend: card / bank transfer / stablecoin / x402 Mandate financial stack is composable: providers provide the financial building blocks. Mandate turns them into one economic system the agent can use. You can connects whichever providers you choose into one continuous economic account Because autonomous agents won't operate in a crypto-only or fiat-only world. Crypto alone can't solve economic autonomy when most of the world an agent needs to operate in still runs on fiat, cards, and banks Fiat alone can't solve it either, because agents will increasingly use payment systems built for machine-to-machine commerce. The future is hybrid. The infrastructure has to be composable. I built Mandate so that an agent can operate across both as one continuous economy

  Hm. Long ago lost the 2FA phone number for my @twilio account. It's charging my Paypal every month. No way to sign in to stop it. What happens now?
