  PYPL PayPal. Down massively from its peak. Now trading at ~8x earnings and ~8x free cash flow. Dirt cheap for a business this scale. 439 million active accounts. $1.79 trillion in annual TPV. Wall Street has written it off. Meanwhile the business keeps printing.

  @DavidShares @tyleraloevera **** the crypto nonsense. You’re not likely to run into issues using PayPal, Venmo, or credit cards. Patreon shut him down because they align with groups who dislike Tyler. But if you make your own site that’s enough 99.9% of the time

  GM frens ☕ Instead of waiting for the same gatekeepers to adopt crypto, we should be asking a much bigger question: What real-world problems can we solve with the ledger? A lot of people seem excited about Visa, PayPal, Stripe, and other large companies integrating crypto. But what has really changed if users are still dependent on the same intermediaries, the same rules, and the same extraction of value while only the technology running in the background is different? Crypto started as a movement to create decentralized alternatives. To give people ownership, sovereignty, and direct access to value without requiring permission from centralized entities. Somewhere along the way, the goal shifted from replacing gatekeepers to celebrating their participation.

  @AlanSla90124663 @Hedgewatchers @BrambleRamble4 I never thought of the PayPal reporting, but that would catch a lot of scammers since they use PayPal across SMS. And PayPal as well as Go Fund Me are very proactive shutting down fake accounts.

  One of the most perplexing things about stablecoins is that pretty much only Tether consistently makes money, followed by MakerDAO/Sky (until recent years). Others seem to trend towards losses (Circle is a great example). Why is this perplexing? Because the world has birthed thousands of stablecoins with many, many different design architectures: * Bank deposits (CDP) * Banknotes (CDP or fully reserved) * Non-redeemable notes (algorithmic) * Metallic tokens (fiduciary or full-bodied) * Scrip (redeemable in-kind) * Central bank notes (algorithmic, fiduciary, or CDP) Most of these were successful because they alleviated money shortages* or enjoyed government monopoly. But when it comes to fully reserved (that is, 100% of the backing assets are highly liquid) private currencies, there really are very few examples of success. You could argue the Bank of Amsterdam and Venetian Banco di Rialto are examples, but they made their money mostly as custodians and other money services. Also, both are 400+ years in the past, which is a long way to reach for an example of success. So how did full-reserve standard become the model for stablecoins? USDC isn’t a big money maker, but at least it has enormous scale. USDG is winding down. GUSD, BUSD, USDP aren’t examples of winners. FDUSD also in retreat. And PayPal and Ripple throw vast sums of money at incentives. Notably, GENIUS when it comes into force prohibits issuers tying their users to buying other services from them, which is how they probably need to make money. Where full-reserve does seem to find PMF in the modern world is as a simple store of value - money market funds. The trouble is they are mostly short-term parking places AND hold assets that are disallowed under many emerging stablecoin regulatory regimes (e.g. commercial paper and certificates of deposit) So… how did it become consensus that a safe and sound stablecoin must be more constrained than a money market fund, and how did it become consensus that this model would be a good business when Circle struggles even with a $75b float? Given that this has been the hands-down, undisputed killer use case for crypto, it feels strange that more people don’t try to trace the steps of how we got to this consensus. * I have long been on record that Tether’s success is less to do with crypto per se than in alleviating USD shortages in venues with few or no dollars (like blockchains and non-US countries)

  @AskPayPal I deleted my previous account as i needed to change the country. Now when I try to sign up, it says the account with the email id exists. Neither password works nor Forgot Password. Something went wrong pops up. I can even ask the Assistant since I need to login.

  @3G2point0 @CardPurchaser @eBay 1. eBay Money Back Guarantee might still help Even if you’re past the standard 30-day window from the estimated delivery date, open a “Item Not Received” request in your Purchases right away. Go to the order, hit “More actions,” and report it didn’t arrive. If the seller keeps dodging, ask eBay to step in after a few business days. They often side with buyers on non-delivery, especially with a paper trail of the seller admitting they never mailed it and promising refunds.  2. Payment method is your backup • PayPal? You usually have up to 180 days from payment for a dispute/claim. Log in and open one for “Item Not Received.” • Credit/Debit Card? Contact your bank or card issuer ASAP for a chargeback. Explain the situation with screenshots of messages, promises, and lack of delivery. Many issuers are buyer-friendly here.  3. Other steps to take now • Document everything: Save all chat messages, the original listing, tracking (if any), and dates. • Message the seller one more polite-but-firm time: “Hey, still no card or refund. Please issue it today or I’ll have to escalate with eBay/PayPal/bank.” • Check the seller’s feedback and report them if they’re sketchy. In most cases like this, buyers do get their money back one way or another – eBay hates scammy sellers too. If the amount is small, it might not be worth huge stress, but don’t let them get away with it.
