  Thiel started a Roth IRA with a contribution of less than $2,000 in 1999  and paid $0.001 per share of PayPal and bought 1.7 million shares — a large stake for just $1,700 , then let it ride inside the tax shelter until it held $5 billion, spread across 96 subaccounts, by 2019 , all of it withdrawable tax-free at 59½. That’s the most valuable Roth IRA in America. And that — that — is the dark lord’s masterstroke. Sit with it. The antichrist cannot have the most expensive Roth IRA. It is a category error. You are supposed to be the inhuman thing that answers to no one, the man who read Girard and decided to be the scapegoat machine, and your actual signature move is the one every community-college finance professor scrawls on the whiteboard and calls genius: max the Roth, buy early, never sell, die untaxed. He did the thing in the personal-finance subreddit. The secret is that there’s no secret.  The prince of darkness ran the exact play a dentist in Tulsa runs, just with founder shares and a straight face. The kitchen had him slotted for the abyss and he turned in a tax-optimized retirement account at 59-and-a-half. Genuinely disappointed. You had the whole apocalypse queued up, Peter, and you botched it on the 401k. Some Beast — diversified, sheltered, and patiently waiting for the penalty-free withdrawal window.

  PayPal integration is critical: payments failing means revenue lost. But PayPal's sandbox mostly covers happy paths. How do you test what happens when things go wrong? This Dev Proxy preset injects random PayPal API errors into your requests. The error responses are modeled after PayPal's official Postman collection, so they match what you'd see in production. Get started in 2 commands: devproxy config get paypal-random-errors devproxy Now your PayPal API calls randomly fail with realistic errors: authentication failures, invalid requests, resource not found, server errors. Each one uses PayPal's actual error structure, so your parsing code gets exercised with real-world formats. The randomness is the point. You're testing what happens when errors land where your code doesn't expect them. A payment intent fails mid-checkout, a refund request gets a 500, a customer update returns a 404. Run your checkout flow against this preset and watch what happens. Does your UI show a useful message? Does your backend retry or give up? Does your logging capture enough detail to debug later? Grab the preset and find the gaps in your error handling before a real payment fails. When did you last test your PayPal error handling?

  How @GoKiteAI makes agent payments cheaper than $0.01 and why Stripe and PayPal can't keep up The thing is, an AI agent pays for APIs, data, or compute every second, meaning every action is a micropayment worth just a few cents. Stripe/PayPal charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Example: a $0.46 payment → a $0.31 fee. That's 67% eaten up by fees alone! Over a day of agent activity, fees destroy the entire budget. Kite solves this differently: Runs on its own blockchain (Avalanche L1). Uses payment channels: you open one once, and the agent can make thousands of payments almost for free. Real cost - $0.000001 (0.0001 cents) per payment Speed: under 0.1 seconds. Stablecoins (USDC, etc.), with no volatility. @KiteAIFDN Agent Passport is an agent's passport: You set budgets, limits, and time restrictions. There's a kill switch - one button instantly shuts the agent down. Full control and auditability. Real example: An agent called 6 paid APIs → paid only $0.036 in total. That's why 500+ companies are already moving to @Kite_Frens_Eco. It's not a wallet, but dedicated infrastructure for agents.

  1. Send a million emails a day 2. Growth hack DMs across every platform. 3. Launch free tools. 4. Model YouTubers in your niche. 5. Add a backend service to pump into paid ads. 6. Build in viral coefficients. 7. Recruit affiliates. 8. Create a community. 9. Get unique integrations that drive traffic. Could go on forever. The problem is, very few know anything about distribution.

  The problem isn't that affiliate marketing doesn't work in India. It's that the infrastructure never existed. - Creators charge high upfront fees, but brands expect sales guarantees and don't pay - Creators don't trust brands to accurately attribute sales. See @AnshulGains rant - And until recently, there was no easy way to handle payouts, TDS compliance, attribution, fraud prevention, COD detection, and reporting at scale. The US got Stripe, PayPal, Impact, ShareASale, and 200 other softwares India only has @ReferRush

  @CashSupport PR response, long story short. I was given no reason for permanent account closure. They have doubled down on this in their DMs. If you’re a SW, don’t bother with cashapp. Just like PayPal, they discriminate and will lock money.

  Stop leaving your cash inside PayPal. A brand I work with had 147,000 dollars sitting in their PayPal balance. Not swept to the bank. Just sitting there. That is not a buffer. That is a risk. Payment processors freeze balances without warning, especially when volume spikes during a sale. The money you cannot move is not working capital. It is exposure. Set up a daily automatic transfer to your operating account. Your cash should sit where you control it, not where a platform does. A frozen balance during your biggest sales week is a problem you can prevent today.

  They're being paid through PayPal, so that 2.5 million probably went down to about $800,000 afterwards.

  @RaenestApp Hi Raenest team, I'm yet to receive my new USD account details. It's been 8 long days now, even though you claimed that it'll be 2-5 days. My salary was delayed for too long, so I had to force myself to use PayPal. Now a fraction of my salary has been locked up. Please fix this!

  I work click and collect. The system is simple. Buy online, bring the card you paid with, collect your parcel. It says so in the email. Second line. A man came in for his parcel. Me: Do you have the card you purchased with? Him: No. Me: Can you get the last four digits of the card number? Him: No. Me: Can you contact whoever has the card? Or check PayPal or Amazon? They display the last four digits. Him: It's my girlfriend's card. Me: I can't release the parcel without proof of purchase. I'm sorry. Him: That's MY parcel. MY name is on it. Me: I understand. I still can't release it without those digits. Him: How was I supposed to know I needed the card? Me: It's in the email we sent you. Him: No it isn't. Me: It is. Him: I'll prove it isn't. Me: Go ahead. Him: (checked his phone) Him: (found the email) Him: (read the second line) Him: Oh for ...... I never read that far down. Me: If you can get those four digits I can release it right now. Him: No. I want a refund. Me: I still need the card for that. Him: Then you know what you can do with it. Me: (completely calm) Me: I'd need the card for that too. Him: (stared at me) Me: (stared back) Me: (the parcel is still there) Me: (it will be there when he finds the card) Me: (it will be there for a while)
