  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  @SelenaCaamano @Kezza51454253 If it was the wrong email paypal would not let me get through to the make payment stage, I just had a thought Kezza paid in US dollars, I changed that to UK pounds I wonder if that's the issue and it only works in US dollars

  @housesarebig @CTCG_DZiden Not disagreeing on last minute travel being more expensive, just something that is an option if you want to play in it. It isn't more difficult for a foreigner, its just.. more expensive. Which could be drastically alleviated by lottery starting earlier and results coming out earlier. At that point, you really aren't really locked out. But its the same for CN players trying to play other regionals. Lets only take PayPal, and not credit cards. Paypal CN/Global is different, it doesn't work for Chinese. Oh too bad tickets gone. hehe xD. Not to mention we don't have skirmishes so we have to play round 1. (good change btw). Not defending anything. There are issues with the systems being used, but playing in China is perfectly doable and not difficult. Many players have done so, and I've walked plenty of people through the process.

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several jury duty scams that occur across Pasco County. Oftentimes, the scammer claims to be an official, sometimes using PSO and/or a PSO member’s name, to inform the potential victim that they’ve missed jury duty and must pay a fee. These payments are made via PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and similar services. Scammers may use a blocked number or spoof a PSO number, such as our general information line. PSO does not manage jury duty notifications, and we stress that these messages are not legitimate. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise.

  @LuisBizarro I don’t understand how these legacy companies are still alive. Every time I even try to login to eBay, it gives me so much friction where I just give up and close the tab. Every PayPal account I’ve had has been hacked.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  4. It was the exact same question people asked me a few years ago, before I made my ecommerce business successful and moved to Dubai; when I started testing payment platforms that actually offered real individual attention to the merchants who signed up. Believe me, the big payment companies and the scammers ones do not want any real proximity with businesses that simply appear out of nowhere. Frustrated after having thousands of dollars frozen across multiple platforms like Paddle, Commas, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, Braintree, Square and several smaller ones, I decided to build my own payment gateway. I wanted to understand 100% how this market works and how to establish myself in it. After a few months, a group of developers and I created Arkus, a platform that until recently only served as a payment processor for a close group around me and my companies. Now it is being launched to the public for the first time, and it is specifically looking for legitimate merchants who want to scale but who, just like us, have suffered far too many problems with traditional payment gateways. If you want to be one of the first to receive special attention for your business, before we grow to a level where it becomes almost impossible not to use AI to manage risk for every account, comment “ARKUS” to get personal attention from me, not just from our team.

  I’ve had people who hacked into my computer people who hacked into my iPad My PayPal is ****** up My QuickBooks got hacked into and they messed with my invoices and I have created that account just to prove a point and it was proven. People are going down peoples followers list, and targeting people on social media. And this brings me to the past seven months. You have collapse the economy and you’re going to start begging people to pay you and the people that you’re begging to pay you and buy your services and products are the ones that you cyberbullied… Every last celebrity that participated in this every last business owner that participated in this you are going to go out of business by the time this is all through and I promise you I really am praying on your downfall.

  @AskCiti She finally got answered after 3½ hours. Then the representative was useless. The rep basically said it's a PayPal problem, even though the charge doesn't exist in her PayPal. She's reported the card as stolen now. She can't dispute the PayPal charge because it doesn't show.

  @LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy? They instantly refunded me for 3 purchases from an major anime figure site that closed down suddenly a few years ago. Can't guarantee it'll work though
