  @SPIDER_SPINES Really? I've never heard of issues with PayPal before and I know people that use PayPal exclusively for purchasing their vbucks so I find this odd

  Now this makes a lot more sense. A few days ago we found a group of fiat tokens quietly sitting on Keeta mainnet. At the time they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Today they do. Keeta just announced its partnership with LayerZero to bring tokenized commercial bank money to major blockchains. So what does that actually mean? Think of Keeta as the place where regulated bank deposits become tokenized digital dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc. Those are the fiat tokens we found on-chain. They’re backed 1:1 by commercial bank deposits through Bivo and are built for institutions, not retail. LayerZero is the interoperability protocol that connects many of the largest blockchains together. It’s already used by companies and protocols like PayPal and Ondo. Instead of Keeta building connections to every blockchain individually, LayerZero lets those regulated assets move across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and many other chains through a single interoperability layer. Here’s an example. Imagine a business deposits $10 million with a participating bank. Keeta tokenizes that deposit into regulated digital dollars. Using LayerZero, those dollars can move to Ethereum for settlement, Solana for payments, Base for another application, and then be redeemed back into bank deposits when needed. The institution doesn’t have to care which blockchain the other side is using. That’s why this announcement is a big deal. The fiat assets we found on-chain now have a clear purpose. The GitHub updates we’ve been seeing suddenly make a lot more sense. And if institutions choose Keeta to issue and settle tokenized commercial bank money, LayerZero gives those assets access to one of the largest cross-chain ecosystems in crypto. That has the potential to bring significantly more institutional activity and value onto the Keeta network than if it operated in isolation. This is exactly why I spend so much time watching GitHub and on-chain activity. Sometimes the blockchain tells the story before the press release does. @KeetaNetwork $KTA

  guys for the pickup merch, if you’ve never previously had issues with paying with Apple Pay, then just use Apple Pay. I didn’t get anything I wanted because I tried to use PayPal and it took 5 mins to get me logged in when if I just used Apple Pay I could’ve got all I wanted

  @AskPayPal 7 days, $656.37 held (Txn 36V06866NJ357773R). Your “Get Verified” step to accept it is broken, dead ends every time (on video). Chat gave zero case numbers. CFPB Complaint 260723-35953948 filed. Respond with a resolution timeline in 24hrs or I escalate.

  Meet Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

  A brand was losing subscribers it had already won. The product was fine, the payment link was wrong. Every failed-payment email pointed to the same place: update your card here. One link for everyone. But not everyone pays with a card. A PayPal customer sent to a Shopify card form cannot fix a thing. Shop Pay is a wallet, so a card update in Shopify does not touch it. Those people got emails they could not act on. The fix we gave them was not more reminders. It was routing each failure correctly. Card to the platform, PayPal into PayPal, Shop Pay to Shop Pay. On 10,000 subs at 91% success, that is 900 failures a month. Recover one point and you save 100 orders. At $50 each that is $5,000 a month. Dunning is not about more retries. It is about letting the customer who wants to pay you actually do it.

  @PayPal I am told I cannot use PayPal anymore because of an activity in my account that is against the policy. But then, since I created the account I have not used it, neither have I link any card to it. So, what could be the problem and how can this be resolved? @AskPayPal

  Max Levchin explains why B-players hire C-players The co-founder of PayPal and Affirm reflects on the famous Steve Jobs insight that A-players hire A-players, and B-players hire C-players: “It’s profoundly true. But there should be an asterisk explaining why this is true. And the reason for this is fear.” A-players love working with other A-players because they know it will make them better. They want other A-players who challenge them and will tell them when their work isn’t good. Most B-players are net positive too, but as Max argues, some are fearful and will say: “If I have too many B-players or A-players around, I will look terrible and it’ll be very obvious that I’m just not that good. So the way to fix this is for me to become a manager and hire a bunch of people who aren’t very good at all so that I’ll look like the tallest mushroom.” Max continues: “That is the real danger of B-players. Having people who are perfectly willing to do good work day-in and day-out is not the worst thing in the world. There’s plenty of things that A-players will turn their nose from because it’s just not that challenging. B-players are very good for that [type of work]. And a lot of B-players will over time grind their way to being A-players, so you’re investing in their future and they know it, and that’s also positive. But B-players who have fear of being found out are the ones you have to watch out for.” Source: @HarryStebbings @20vcFund (Feb 2025)
