figueira (@cfigueiras99) reported@PhantomStays And wouldn’t that ownership structure create issues with Shopify Payments, PayPal, etc., or is the ownership of the US LLC completely irrelevant?

Xaif Crypto (@Xaif_Crypto) reportedRipple'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.

Bastiichu (@Bastiichu) reported@RunyaChanVT you tried to solve the issue privatly i think the next step, since you can't revoke it via Paypal, is to go public you could try again and say when thy won't answer you in x days you go public to give them one last chance to solve it without going public, but they dont deserve it

Alex (@AlexWinfield13) reportedAI Agents Don’t Need to Be On-Chain. Their Money Does. I don’t need to be “built on blockchain” to send someone USDC. I just need a wallet and a rail. Neither does an AI agent. That one sentence collapses most of the “crypto AI agent” narrative and it’s why the real alpha isn’t in agents at all. It’s in the payment rails built for them. Here’s the category error nearly everyone is making: they’re trying to make the agent crypto-native. On-chain reasoning, a token stapled to the bot, “autonomous economic actors” that supposedly live on a chain. But an agent’s intelligence runs off-chain on normal servers, using normal models. Nobody runs a model’s brain on a blockchain; it’s absurd and always will be. So when a project brands its agent as “on-chain,” it’s almost never adding a capability. It’s adding a token. The part of an agent that genuinely benefits from crypto is the money movement. And that part is already real. The receipts: •x402 Coinbase’s open protocol that revives the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code processed roughly 165M agent transactions and ~$50M in cumulative volume across ~69,000 active agents by April 2026. •The average agent payment is about $0.20 below the minimum fixed fee card networks charge per transaction. Read that twice. It’s an entire class of machine-to-machine commerce that Visa and Mastercard physically cannot serve. •x402 was donated to the Linux Foundation. Google’s AP2 authorization framework launched with 60+ partners including PayPal, Mastercard, Coinbase, and American Express. The settlement asset is overwhelmingly USDC, moving gaslessly via EIP-3009. That’s the tell. The rails are winning as neutral infrastructure open standards and stablecoins not as somebody’s agent token. And it’s early. Daily x402 volume is volatile, down sharply from its December 2025 peak as incentives and testing wash out. This is a first-inning signal, not a finished market. But the shape of the thing is unmistakable. Now the uncomfortable half, because I’m not here to shill: The “AI agent token” category is roughly $15B and mostly narrative. In Q1 2026, zero-usage tokens that slapped “AI agent” on themselves without a product got wiped out. Even the survivors carry the value-capture problem: Virtuals ships real product with real usage, but VIRTUAL holders receive no direct protocol revenue. ElizaOS owns developer mindshare, yet an open-source framework is brutally hard to convert into token value. Two names Virtuals and ai16z hold 57% of the entire category (according to Claude). That’s not a diversified sector. That’s a narrative propped up by two poles. So here’s the stance: The crypto belongs in the rails, not the agent. An agent doesn’t need to be on-chain to pay on-chain same as I don’t. The durable structure isn’t “crypto agent.” It’s any agent + crypto rails: ordinary software, running any model, hosted anywhere, plugging into a settlement layer that clears in seconds for a fraction of a cent, 24/7, worldwide. The test I run on every “crypto agent” pitch: delete the token and let it pay over open rails. Does anything about its function break? If not you’re buying a story, not a machine. Where I’d point attention instead: what settles and clears on these rails. The stablecoins agents actually pay in. The chains their transactions finalize on. The identity and authorization layers that keep autonomous spend safe at scale. That’s the picks and shovels of the agent economy and none of it requires pretending an agent is something it isn’t. Rails, not agents. That’s the alpha. Not Financial Advice.

Crystal Brown🇺🇸 (@justxcrystal777) reportedMs Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years.

50/50innertainment (@5050RecordLabel) reportedAttention those having problems with Restrictions & payouts & need solutions beyond Facebook's support team! 1. Did you know that you can contact the Consumer Federal Public Bureau and they will help you. If Meta claims they issued a payout to your bank, PayPal, or Stripe, but the funds are frozen, missing, or rejected, file a complaint against the payment company or bank via the CFPB Complaint Portal. 2. If Meta is completely refusing to calculate, acknowledge, or clear your monetization earnings, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct federal regulator. The FTC monitors deceptive business practices, breach of digital merchant contracts, and unfair treatment of independent creators. Take Action: Submit a formal business fraud report at the official FTC Report Fraud Portal 3. State Attorney General: File a report with your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. State AGs have dedicated teams that routinely force tech companies to assign real humans to investigate local creator complaints. 4. Better Business Bureau (BBB): File an official complaint on the BBB Meta Platforms Profile. Meta maintains an active team on the BBB to resolve issues and protect their corporate rating, often resulting in direct contact

darkbluecat 😼🎧🌭 (@darkbluecat) reportedToday’s long story: I was trying to buy sheet music for a song they had listed on a basic website, but the whole process has been such a pain. First, they make you fill out a form asking for your email address, which is fair, your country, which I guess is understandable, your city, which I filled in with bogus information, and your phone number, which I was obviously not going to disclose. Then, of course, they ask for your payment method, so I picked PayPal. The problem is that they manually send you the invoice or payment link within 24 hours. However, they also say you can message them on WhatsApp for a faster response. So I messaged them and asked them to send me the invoice. The person then TRIED TO PHONE CALL ME, and I was just like ?????? After that, he sent me a screenshot of my request. I replied, “Yes, that’s me,” even though the address and phone number were obviously bogus. Then he said something like, “Please fill out the form with the correct information.” MAN, IT’S A DIGITAL DELIVERY. WHY DO YOU NEED MY EXACT LOCATION AND PHONE NUMBER? AND WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME??? What ********.
