  SpaceX, 2008. Down to one final attempt with Falcon 1 before the money was gone. On Sept 28, 2008 it was a success. The first rocket to orbit the earth from a private space agency. What the whining critics also forget is that when he sold Zip2 he poured that money into PayPal & when he sold PayPal he poured that money into Tesla & SpaceX. Whiners accomplish nothing. They are like gnats, a mere nuisance. The pure idiocy of folks mocking him validates a timeless axiom: 🔽 “Envy is the language of the lazy”. 🤝

  @0xCryptoGreekie Yo 0x. I'll be honest. I simply don't know. It all sound great and we've been hearing potential for at least 5 years, but if it's going to happen, then what's most likely to occur is that these payment companies are likely to build it on their own. And, most of all it will require a stable coin. I do strongly believe is that it will near absolutely involve stablecoins, such as USDt & USDc. SUI and a number of networks handle stablecoins well. As odd as it may sound, these big corporations would rather operate of something clunky, that's still crypto, but something they've created and most importantly own and control. Thus, it won't be any network we're familiar with. There will be a USDv (a VISA stablecoin). There will be a USDjpm, USDgoldman, etc. PayPal has their own as does Polymarket. They operate internally. I see no chance a major corporation is going to adopt anything out there that has touched anything we know. They'll build their own. Polymarket only uses the polygon network for wager incoming and then wager settlements (if the bet wins). You can see the proceed go out of your wallet, it then goes into a digital bean counter. If the wager wins, the proceed get spit back out on clunky Polygon. The actual trading is done on servers where all the accounting and score keeping is tallied and resolved on a digital ledger. This is probably the model for trading someday, except they build their own internal crypto network. If they even need it, which they probably don't. Right now, the Visa, MC & AmEx network operates just the way they want it to operate, and it's going to take over 50 years to grind into those market structures. Moreover, we haven't even got to the legal complication of how credit cards make their money w/r/t fees and fraud, charge backs, etc. It may cost them a lot, but they have an immense edge they will never give up because the merchant and customers end up paying in the end. As for high finance, it's the same thing. For SWIFT, it will likely be something the US builds that will integrate with what others CBs have. Probably swapping USDt & USDc. The problem is: these need to be hidden. High finance is not open to disclosure, and legally they don't have to. NYSE & Nasdaq. Same thing. They will build their own and integrate the endpoints which connect to a stable coin somewhere. I see no current decentralized network (eth sol sui btc kas, or any current L1) that a major Fortune 500 company is going to adopt and use. They will not relinquish centralization on a broad scale. There may be a few small cases. I do know that Kadena was tested for JPMorgan and it didn't work. It was passed on. Now Kadena is officially dead. I'm not optimistic. We've heard it all before, but I take it 1 year at a time.

  @DissentFu Start PayPal while sleeping on friends couches because no money. Start a co when you sell PP to make rockets. Get to point after many failures, 1 more meant shutting down business. Start Tesla, Boring Co tunneling, Starlink sats & Neuralink which help the disabled.

  @WarOfFreedom @Rothmus He was famously pushed out of PayPal for his terrible ideas that he kept insisting on. One of them being "change the name to X" actually.

  @PayPal I also found a "call us" interface that opens an in-webpage phone app(???) with... another AI assistant, which is also broken. So I'm shuffling money between accounts and hoping it gets there before @PayPal cancels it entirely (time-sensitive). They're asleep at the wheel.

  @Steve9418 They have issues with PayPal apparently so can't use that lol. Sending the money is an option though. They don't have family they trust either unfortunately.

  2/ Back then I moderated a Minecraft server. Another server kept attacking ours, and our owner found out the guy was paying for the attacks with PayPal or Bitcoin. We sat in Skype trying to figure out what Bitcoin even was. I was too young to understand it, but it stayed in my head.

  @RoKhanna It’s never let’s stop welfare abuse and fraud within public programs and vastly over staffed bureaucrats, it’s always “just one more tax , this time we will solve all the problems we promise”. Elon had 200M from PayPal , he made Tesla and SpaceX , California had 13B still no rail

  Most people scroll past these tools every day. A few figured out they’re ATMs. Here’s what 2026 actually looks like for people who paid attention 🧵 [1/6] Most people see an AI chatbot. Maya sees $7,200/month. A 26-year-old from Kyiv figured out that every local business has a website that hasn’t been touched since 2019. No chat. No automation. No follow-up. She opens Claude. Builds a custom AI assistant for the business in 40 minutes. Books a call. Shows the demo live. They sign the same day. $400 setup. $600/month retainer. 12 clients. The businesses haven’t changed. She just showed them what they were missing. [2/6] Most people see a boring spreadsheet. James sees $9,500/month. A 31-year-old from Lisbon noticed that every e-commerce brand has the same problem — thousands of product descriptions written by someone who didn’t care. He built a Claude pipeline. Drops in a product CSV. Gets back 500 descriptions in 11 minutes. SEO-optimized. Brand-voiced. Done. Charges $800 per batch. $1,200 for rush. No employees. No office. Just a prompt and a PayPal link. [3/6] Most people see a Telegram group. Sofia sees $6,000/month. A 28-year-old from Belgrade watches on-chain wallets that move before anyone notices. Every morning she writes 3 paragraphs about what shifted overnight. 200 subscribers. $29/month each. Her tool cost: Claude API + a $6 server. She spends 45 minutes a day. The data was always public. She just started packaging it. [4/6] Most people see a podcast nobody asked for. Carlos sees $8,400/month. A 33-year-old from Mexico City realized that CEOs want to be on podcasts but hate cold emails. He uses AI to research 50 executives per week — their recent interviews, their talking points, their gaps. Then writes a hyper-personalized pitch for each one. Booking rate: 34%. He sells the booked appearances to podcast hosts at $600 each. 14 deals last month. [5/6] Most people see a language barrier. Nina sees $5,800/month. A 24-year-old from Warsaw figured out that Japanese, Korean and Arabic creators make incredible content — that nobody in the West ever sees. She runs it through AI translation + light editing. Reposts with credit. Builds the audience. Sells newsletter sponsorships at $400 per slot. Two slots per week. The content already existed. She just moved it. [6/6] The tools are free or close to it. The information is public. The opportunities are sitting on the same streets everyone walks past. The only difference between them and everyone else? They stopped waiting to feel ready. They just started. What’s stopping you from doing the same? ↓ Drop your skill below — I’ll tell you exactly how to monetize it with AI right now.

  Your personal wealth is around an estimated $8-12 million. You are rich. You are "the problem". I'm going to send you my PayPal info and I expect you to send me a pretty substantial transfer, otherwise you're also a greedy selfish rich demon.

  @USPS in case you don’t look at emails. For the price of postage for a card & magazine I could’ve sent $ via PayPal or ordered a gift through Amazon with free delivery. What a terrible value for mailing a package
