  Stripe + Block + Paypal (SBP) is a HUGE problem for Visa and Mastercard (V+M) because suddenly zillions of dollars of xactions become local only to SBP and off V+M networks (and pocketbooks). V, M or both must find something ginormous (now or potential) to buy... (e.g. what I'm building $-))

  @Gabriel_Pogrund @1goodtern That Reform PayPal £50 donation drive should be investigated Could be a huge issue for Reform and PayPal if it was actually structuring; a form of money laundering

  So I fed this to Grok and holy ****… Analysis of the X thread by @whisper_alpha (post ID 2077722854414532656) This is a 14-part investigative thread doing on-chain forensics on the $WALLET token (contract: 0x0339f5459fc690ac85f1782e15782a151b4a9e1b) deployed on Robinhood Chain. The core thesis: This is Robinhood’s biggest unannounced (or stealth) product — a token deeply tied to their team, infrastructure, and new L2 blockchain. Summary of the Thread’s Claims The author traces funding flows across Ethereum and the new Robinhood Chain, connecting the token deployer to: • Vlad Tenev (Robinhood CEO) via a publicly referenced wallet. • Seong Lee (@seongboii) — Head of Crypto Product / Project Manager at Robinhood (Crunchbase + Arkham labels link seonglee.eth). • Richard Reitzfeld (richiereitz.eth) — Senior iOS Engineer at Robinhood (confirmed via LinkedIn; works on mobile/wallet engineering). Key technical findings highlighted: • The same wallet (0xF718d37dBC25799f7cFf04B5AacdA94e87619649) funded: • The Robinhood Chain deployer on Ethereum. • The $WALLET deployer on Robinhood Chain (post-mainnet). • The Paxos hot wallet early on the chain. • Vanity address pair — Two early wallets share a long common substring (dBC25799f7cFf04B5AacdA94e8761), a deliberate pattern often used by teams/institutions. • Extremely early funding (blocks 34 and 41 on Robinhood Chain) — One wallet had ETH with no incoming transactions recorded, consistent with pre-genesis or operator-level initialization funding. • Timeline: Robinhood Chain mainnet launched July 1, 2026. $WALLET deployed July 10, 2026 (9 days later) — deliberate, post-stabilization, after legal review presumably. Speculated use cases (governance token, massive airdrop to Robinhood’s ~23M users, or loyalty/rewards layer replacing or supplementing Robinhood Gold). Verification & Fact-Checking What checks out strongly: • Robinhood Chain timeline: Officially launched public mainnet on July 1, 2026 (confirmed in Robinhood’s own announcements and multiple news outlets). Testnet was earlier in February 2026. Built on Arbitrum tech. • Token existence: The contract 0x0339f5459fc690ac85f1782e15782a151b4a9e1b exists on Robinhood Chain. It is labeled “Robinhood Wallet (WALLET)” on the official Blockscout explorer and OpenSea. Total supply: 1,000,000,000. • Employee connections: • Richard Reitzfeld is a real Senior iOS Engineer at Robinhood (LinkedIn confirmed). • Seong Lee (@seongboii) is real and has been publicly associated with Robinhood Crypto / product roles. • Paxos link: Paxos is a legitimate regulated partner (issues stablecoins, custody for PayPal/Mastercard). Early funding of their hot wallet fits infrastructure setup. • Community consensus: Multiple independent accounts on X have replicated or referenced parts of this tracing and reached similar conclusions about the funding cluster. What is weaker / unconfirmed: • No official Robinhood statement confirming $WALLET as their token. They have stayed silent. Robinhood does have an official self-custody Robinhood Wallet app that natively supports their new chain. • The exact Vlad Tenev “robust wallet” quote from July 8 wasn’t directly surfaced in quick searches (the linked older tweet was about something else). The on-chain breadcrumbs are the stronger part of the case. • Arkham labels and OpenSea “nomujja” attribution rely on heuristics/user reports — generally reliable for these profiles but not 100% infallible. • Current market status (as of mid-July 2026): Very low market cap (reports of ~$4M–$10M range recently), high volatility, typical of new tokens on a brand-new chain. Some early reports of issues with certain dubious tokens on the chain (not specific to $WALLET). Overall Assessment This is one of the more credible “insider/stealth token” narratives I’ve seen in crypto recently. Strengths of the thread: • Multi-wallet, multi-person, cross-chain tracing.

  In 2020, I was sharing an apartment in San Jose with a guy who was absolutely feverish about starting companies. We were both at PayPal. We'd read Tim Ferriss's Four-Hour Work Week, and we spent every weekend learning React and putting things on the internet to see what would happen. That same year, I figured out you could jailbreak a phone, write a LUA script, and simulate taps on the screen to send iMessages automatically. A few people started paying me for it, and that became Blue Text, which eventually became @sendbluehq. But then I spent the next three years trying not to build Sendblue. I didn't stop working on it. I just kept finding new things to start instead. It was a classic case of shiny object syndrome. There was Figment, a Figma-to-website engine I poured real time into. A crypto project from 2022 to 2024, and probably twenty other ideas before and after those, most of which failed. Every time I started something new, I told myself it was adjacent, complementary, worth the detour. None of them were. Sendblue was growing through all of it. Customers were paying. The phone farm I'd built from one jailbroken iPhone 6 in my parents' closet had scaled into clusters across Manhattan and Brooklyn, and we'd figured out issues that no one online had solved before, at least not in the US. The product had a real moat, but I kept looking over my shoulder at everything else. It's so easy to spot our mistakes in hindsight. If you have a real winner, triple down on it. Don't get sucked into something else because hitting a home run doesn't happen all that often. Take it from me.

  Why consider selling? Intense competition from Apple Pay, Block, Affirm, Klarna, Stripe & more. PayPal stock is down 18% YTD and 35% from last year. Nothing confirmed yet.

  @Wario64 For anyone looking to make any last minute purchases on the PS3 before its store closes down you need to redeem digital codes. You can no longer use your credit cards, paypal, etc. for the PS3 store.

  11. Passkeys the password replacement hiding in Safari. When you create an account on a website that supports Passkeys, Safari offers to create a Passkey instead of a password. A Passkey is a cryptographic credential stored in your iCloud Keychain synced across all your Apple devices. You authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. No password to remember. No password to type. No password to steal. Passkeys can't be phished. There's nothing to enter on a fake website. The authentication is biometric and device-bound. Websites supporting Passkeys include: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, eBay, Best Buy, Kayak, and hundreds more with the list growing monthly. Settings → Passwords → check your saved accounts. For any site that supports Passkeys, Safari prompts you to upgrade during your next login. One Face ID scan replaces every password on every supporting site. Safari manages it automatically. No password manager subscription needed.

  @PayPal your business customer service is terrible. Another failed transaction through your payment system. £300 lost and you couldn’t give a fig.

  @belladonaboo @TinyCritterRika Part of the issue is Paypal will sometimes just ban you if they arbitrarily decide they don't approve of the hentai you are drawing.
