Norm (@postanoun) reported@unusual_whales People forget that Elon Musk was involved with Paypal, which acts like a bank, and everything Elon Musk is doing right now appears to be the exact same business model the banks are doing.

Rushen Samodya (@RushenSamodya) reportedWhy PayPal in Sri Lanka Actually Matters (And What it Means for You) 1/ The Old Problem Before today, Sri Lankan devs had three options: Use fake overseas addresses (illegal, risky) Keep money in foreign accounts (forex leakage, tax issues) Rely on shady remittance channels (high fees, no protection) We were essentially locked out of the global economy.
