  Getting paid online is stressful—fees, delays, PayPal issues. Tried @looftapaytoday. Create a payment link in seconds, get paid from different chains/tokens, and receive what you choose. No wallet needed. Username = payment address. Private payments powered by @magicblock

  @Uzwzp63636 @AdamAtlas @jevgenijs Even if PayPal is acquired as a whole (via stock purchase), the shared state money transmitter licenses aren't automatically transferable. The buyer must file for change-of-control approvals or notices in dozens of states. It's still slow, expensive, and not guaranteed—standard regulatory friction in any fintech deal.

  @VanVanillaNSFW If commissioned well over 100 people and never had this problem yet and majority is PayPal. It doesn't really happen I'm sure you're more likely to get struck by lightning haha

  Here's what 99% of people are missing. X Money isn't competing with PayPal. It's the trojan horse. → 500M users already on the platform → 6% yield on balances (higher than your bank) → 40+ states on day one via Visa rails → "Smart Cashtags" linking crypto tickers live on timeline → Nikita Bier literally tweeted: "Crypto's had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it." They're not entering finance. They're entering crypto with 500 million normies as the army. DeFi spent 5 years trying to onboard the world. X Money might do it in one month. This is either the biggest onboarding event in crypto history or the biggest fake-out. Either way, you should be watching. 🫡

  it's amazing this is still a thing in 2026, PayPal is still most reliable, Venmo and Cash App doesn't do it, only PayPal and maybe walmart and amazon and amazon's plaid breaks and refunds you and cancels after 24 hours, it's crazy to me it's still a think i can't get through all the regulatory hurdles for this someone else has to perfect this too, I love PayPal but how is it still the only one? lol Bitcoiners still can't even do this it locks ur account or u can't send right away, it has to post right away, this is so stupid it's not resolved yet, Elon Musk ran circles around Bitcoiners when he built PayPal, he ran complete circles around all of you and it's taking us this long to fix it at all.

  @CHP_HQ Can anyone from your organization go down to San Jose and speak with PayPal? This company is literally robbing Americans blind! Can anyone in your org explain why they do not require photo ID before opening an account or how they can send money 10X cheaper than West Union

  @MateuszKaczysk9 @Acyn France is developing alternatives for its civil service. The EU is already trying to build alternative to Visa/MasterCard and PayPal. With the USA cloud act - reliance on USA platforms is now seen as a security issue

  @AskPayPal Yes but how? I'm really stuck, by the way i can make purchases on eBay and Aliexpress, but i can't acess my account since even the only link you gave to me is not working for me. So i don't know what to do.

  @LastManBalling @marlowxbt Flaws in this plan: - Scraping Google Maps violates ToS and risks bans/legal issues; cold emails often hit spam filters and violate CAN-SPAM rules. - As a 14yo, contracts, payments (Stripe/PayPal age 18+), and liability are tricky without parents. - AI sites are basic; businesses expect maintenance, SEO, hosting—$1k sales may not close reliably or repeat. - Easy to copy, so leads dry up fast; 3% response is optimistic. Solutions: Partner with parents for legal setup/LLC. Manually search instead of scrape. Offer maintenance packages for recurring revenue. Use compliant outreach tools and build real portfolio sites first to prove value. Test 10 calls before scaling.

  @rwaassetchain You’re correctly identifying the bottleneck but “always the answer” skips a few hard realities. Stablecoins (like $USDC) fix the transport layer: instant settlement, 24/7 uptime, low fees. That’s a clear upgrade over legacy rails and platforms like PayPal. But creator payouts are a full stack problem: On/offramps: creators still need local fiat, and cashing out reintroduces fees + delays Compliance: KYC, tax reporting, and jurisdictional rules don’t disappear onchain Distribution UX: wallets, key management, and support overhead still limit adoption Liquidity + trust: stablecoins rely on issuers and redemption guarantees So the real answer isn’t purely onchain it’s modular rails: Onchain for settlement and global distribution Local rails for access, spend, and compliance The shift happening now is that onchain becomes the default backend, even if the front-end still looks like traditional finance. @rwaassetchain

  $PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the *** after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame
