  @ParetoMichael @harleyf @ShopifySupport This is exactly why you don't run a 7-figure ecom brand on a single processor. Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal — they can freeze you overnight with zero warning. Clean record doesn't matter. The brands that don't panic when this happens have high-risk merchant accounts running in parallel. DM me if you want to fix this properly.

  @versbose Apologies for the ping, but my DMs seem to be broken! Do you have an alt way I can contact you regarding comms? And do you accept PayPal?

  @ContrarianCurse i cant believe you are drawing a comparison to Paypal, with very specific problems, to the entire software sector. useless

  @7hachikyuu The only issue with that is that they require payment be sent through a specific site (like I saw PayPay for one) and if they request PayPal I just can't do that because my account has been completely shut down and I have no way to fix it 💔

  Someone should create a micro-blogging app where people can discuss news and trends in brevity. This time limit the text to 150 - 200 letters. This is why we signed up to X. But right now X is Instagram, YouTube plus PayPal. Microblogging is broken. We need a new outlet. Trust me. If it's simple and fun people will leave X to build somewhere new from scratch. We miss Twitter so much.

  Oh speaking of research, I just had issues with PayPal blocking my sign in from Firefox. 🤔 Seems like they broke something in a site update?

  @JumpyFeller @The_Real_Lord33 Like even before that bullshit with Patreon, Paypal (which artists use for commissions) was (and still is) anti-porn. If Paypal found out you did NSFW art then there would be issues from them freezing your account and keeping YOUR money. Genuinely a lawsuit waiting to happen.

  Peter Thiel and David Sacks were going to write a book about PayPal. Elon Musk’s chapter was titled “The Man Who Knew Nothing About Risk.” The PayPal Mafia. The sharpest venture minds of a generation. People who had built with Musk. Watched him operate up close. They thought he was out of his mind. Thiel: “When Elon was building both Tesla and SpaceX in the 2000s, people thought he was just really, really crazy.” This was not the press misunderstanding a founder. This was his own people. And they were not wrong by accident. They were wrong by design. Because the framework everyone uses to calculate risk is built on one assumption. That the laws governing what is possible are fixed. Musk did not share that assumption. Thiel figured that out later. Thiel: “If one of the two companies had succeeded, you would say, well, maybe he still got really lucky. But when two out of two companies that people thought were completely harebrained both succeed, you have to reassess.” One success is luck. Two is a different kind of intelligence entirely. Musk was simultaneously trying to privatize space and electrify transportation. Two industries with the most entrenched players on Earth. Two that had eaten billions in failed attempts. Two that governments spent decades trying to move and couldn’t. He did both. At the same time. Nearly went bankrupt doing it. And came out the other side owning both. That is not luck. That is not even genius. That is a different relationship with reality itself. The conventional risk model measures one thing. The probability of losing what you already have. Capital at risk. Downside scenarios. Protect the position. Musk was running a different equation entirely. He was calculating the cost of not trying. The risk of building a reusable rocket and failing is a rounding error. The risk of humanity remaining trapped on a single planet forever is not. The conventional investor sees a 90% chance of losing everything and calls it irrational. Musk saw a 100% chance of civilizational stagnation if no one moved and called that the real risk. The math was never wrong. The lens was just incomprehensibly larger. Thiel: “Somehow the rest of us are too risk-averse, or there’s something about risk he knows that we don’t.” That is Peter Thiel. One of the most ruthless, clear-eyed thinkers in venture capital history admitting the model broke. Not that Musk got lucky. That the rest of them were running a flawed framework and didn’t know it. That should keep you up at night. Because if the PayPal Mafia had the wrong model, the question is not whether Musk is exceptional. The question is how many other things the conventional framework is catastrophically wrong about right now. How many ideas getting buried today look obvious in ten years. How many founders are being told they don’t understand risk when they are the only ones who do. The chapter never got written. The man it was supposed to warn us about built two of the most important companies in human history instead. They are still writing the explanation. He already moved on to the next impossible thing.

  @xblazrx @spiderspookie @Kaiser7861 3. The problem is that the intent of the expose is literally her not caring about the actual victim but clout chasing. She literally tells him "you can still talk to me lol" in her own recording 4. She was fine giving him her paypal and accepting money

  Talked to a creator yesterday who pulled $11K last month. they doesn't know how much she actually kept. Not because she's bad at math. Because their income came from 6 different places and her expenses are spread across 3 cards and a PayPal account she forgot the password to. This is the actual problem. Not "creators are bad with money." It's that the money is everywhere and the tools are nowhere.
