  XRP Insider (@xrpinsider2017) reported 2 minutes ago

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal, I can't log into PayPal. Password + email OK, but no access to old phone (Georgia → Ukraine). Email code worked once, then still asks SMS. Can't reach support without login. Help regain access/update number please. Thanks.

  Every now and then I forget just how terrible an investor I am. Two of my greatest hits: 1. Let’s open a COVID-testing booths at the airport. $XSPA 2. Let’s try to put PayPal out of business. $HMBL 3. Still not even sure what $OPTI did. My track record speaks volumes.

  I've only ever had one job in my life. It lasted a few months, and I quit on the spot when I was 17. A week before, £3,000 had landed in my PayPal account. At the time I was working a few hours a week at Morrisons for about £180 a month. Stacking shelves, standing on the till. Then I made almost 17x that in a week from something I built myself. On my own time, with nothing but my phone and an idea. So I stood there doing the maths in my head, walked up to my manager and quit on the spot. No notice. No plan for what came next. To this day, that's still the only job I've ever had. That same year I started sixth form, and instead of slowing the business down I kept it running through the whole thing. Working on it before school. During lunch instead of eating with everyone else. Last thing before bed, replying to people who wanted to join. My teachers noticed. They weren't happy. A couple of them pulled me aside and told me straight. You're distracted. This is just a phase. If you actually want to go somewhere in life, focus on what matters. I understood why they said it. I just didn't agree. So I kept going. Still came out with three A's at the end of it. Looking back, that year taught me something about myself. I've always been a risk taker. It's just how I'm wired. Everyone around me was following the same path. School, uni, grad job, climb the ladder. And I get why. It's safe. It's what we're told to do. But I kept choosing the high risk option instead. Betting on the thing that was working over the thing that was expected. And every big step forward in my career since has come from making that same trade. I remember watching an old interview with Steve Jobs where he talked about starting Apple with Wozniak. He said they realised they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. That's exactly how I felt at 17. And honestly, it's how I still feel every single day. Because the worst thing that can happen is you lose it all and start over. Except this time with more knowledge, more experience, and everything to gain all over again. That's the whole trade. Limited downside, unlimited upside. Most people never take it. Not because the risk is too big, but because the story about the risk is.

  Upsells for PayPal users don't fail because of the offer. They fail on the extra verification step. The moment there's an extra step, there’s an extra step: → login → 2FA → re-approval You're forcing a new decision, and CVR drops. At 10,000 PayPal orders, even a 2-point lift on a $30 upsell adds up fast. One less step means less time for intent to decay. We introduced PayPal V3 to remove redirects for vault-eligible merchants. Customers accept the post-purchase offer in one click. The upsell checkout for buyers feels like a single flow, not a fragmented process.

  The Mars talk in this video is funded by Starlink, an internet business Musk almost never mentions. The Starship program costs SpaceX about five billion dollars a year to run. Development, factory, launch pad, engines, crew. The number is not audited because SpaceX is private, but it is the range every industry analyst converges on. Five billion a year, no meaningful government contract to Mars, no immediate customer paying for the rocket. For most of SpaceX's history the money to keep going came from three places. Falcon 9 commercial launches paying about sixty million a flight. NASA cargo and crew contracts paying a few billion cumulative. And Musk's own capital, which came from the PayPal exit and later from Tesla stock sales. None of those, together, would have been enough to fund the Mars ambition Musk kept describing on stage. Then Starlink happened. SpaceX started launching Starlink satellites in 2019. By 2024 the constellation had over six thousand active satellites in low Earth orbit, more than every other satellite ever launched combined. The service works almost anywhere on Earth. It has consumer plans starting around eighty dollars a month, enterprise plans for maritime and aviation that run into the thousands, and government contracts with the US Air Force, the Ukrainian military, and dozens of other national defense buyers. Starlink is projected to generate around ten billion dollars of revenue in 2025. Approximately eight billion of that flows to SpaceX's bottom line after satellite costs. That single business unit is now cash-flow positive and growing faster than any consumer internet service provider in history. Comcast added its first ten million subscribers over roughly two decades. Starlink did it in about four years. The rocket company that stands on the Starbase stage explaining Mars is not really the same company that started in 2002. That company launched other people's cargo for revenue. This one runs the largest satellite internet service in history, and uses the profit from that service to attempt something no government has ever committed to. Musk almost never talks about Starlink in the Mars talks. He does not need to. Starlink is the plumbing. Mars is the picture on the presentation slide. Both are true at the same time, and one exists so the other can. The engineers in the room already know this. Every Starlink launch on a Falcon 9 pays down the debt of the next Starship test flight. Every Starship test flight is subsidized by satellite subscribers in Wyoming who wanted internet in their cabin. The trick most casual observers miss is that Musk did not fund Mars by finding a Mars customer. He funded Mars by building the largest internet service provider in space and taking the margin. I signed up for Starlink for a rural property in 2022, mostly out of curiosity. I paid five hundred dollars for the hardware and one hundred and twenty a month for service. Two years later I found out my subscription had been quietly financing a booster catch in South Texas that I watched on a livestream from the same connection. The Mars talk on the screen behind Musk is aspirational. The internet bill under it is what makes the talk possible.

  Dang it, #PayPal, I am trying to report an accidental double-charge, and your resolution center is not working, so I can't report the problem.

  I don’t use PayPal Goods & Services because funds can be held for a long time and I’ve had issues with chargebacks in the past I prefer payment methods that don’t put either side through lengthy disputes
