  @S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

  @Krysia830073 lol I did this with Reptides. Had a few people buy from me actually. Created the entire store in 2 full days. Payment processing was through PayPal, stripe wouldn’t even accept me. Took me a week beforehand to find a good peptide supplier in China who had decent COAs and had a U.S. warehouse. The hardest part and the reason I stopped is because the risk of being caught with your pants down once the FDA fully cracks down on people is not going to be fun. Theres a reason peptide sciences shut down. There’s a reason RUO sites don’t even sell retatrutide or ANY GLPS anymore. Shutdown is coming, the move to underground is happening. The site looked vastly different than it does today. I now aggregate clinical research data on peptides. The long legal game is selling information, not the actual peptides. Too much risk. But yeah it was crazy to spend so much time and money building basically an e commerce site, to then rebranding and rebuilding one the worlds largest aggregated sites of peptide research.

  @Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo

  @heybeegabrielle That's exactly what happened to me. I think I sent several emails a while ago to the store and also to PayPal, but my bank just refunded me first 😭😭😭 I'm surprised because it's the first time I've had this problem in all these years 💔💔

  Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report... To get his buy/sell verdict and the price levels he's watching, check the link in the first comment.

  Banking apps work fine generally. Halifax struggles but Nationwide, Virgin, Chase, MBNA all work for me. I use Alipay a lot but checkout using Paypal. I don't have many notification issues on HarmonyOS 6.1 with most apps. Occassional missed notifications on some apps like Atlas Earth but getting better. RCS messaging doesn't work but I use Whatsapp

  @SsSw33tt :c I’m sorry to hear that. maybe it would be best to reach out to glitch to see how it looks on their end. if things stay finicky with your bank, maybe it’s also worth trying contacting PayPal as well. i wouldnt be surprised if PayPal is at fault here

  @PayPal will always close down African accounts just for receiving 50 dollars for a service you have worked for and earned it.

  @AethernaDei @eleliayub My bad, I didn’t know, I thought only Nigerians/west Africans were facing issues with using PayPal.
