  @OlatunjiAyokan2 @0xAdesola I tried using my Nigerian PayPal but the payment failed and I'm having issues recovering my payoneer account. Please do you know how I can create a UK PayPal or any alternative?

  @mikebelshe @Beagleboiy Exactly. People forget how excited $GLXY shareholders were about striking a deal to acquire $BTGO. "Paypal couldn't get it done, but Galaxy did!" When the market took a dive and Novo decided to scrap the deal on a technicality to try to avoid paying the $100M termination fee, many Galaxy shareholders defended Novo, saying it was just business. What about shareholders of BitGo at that time who lost the opportunity to have a hard-earned liquidity event? They trusted the deal at the cost of other opportunities. I get that Novo was looking to save his company. But he could have done this while honouring the 100M termination fee. As I've said, I think both companies thrive in the years ahead. But I will never back down from my view that Novo made a bad ethical decision on this one. And BitGo deserves the $100M payment plus legal fees at a minimum. Anyone who disagrees and thinks that Galaxy and Novo behaved righteously - I can never do business with you because I cannot trust you to do the right thing under difficult circumstances. One last thing: Novo knows exactly what he did. He knows he did the wrong thing. If this had happened in reverse, he would have sued without question. But I would not want to be judged for my worst moments, so I don't hold it against Novo or Galaxy. But Galaxy must properly compensate BitGo for real damages that occurred, and my hope is that the court comes to this rightful conclusion.

  @AsianDawn4 Even if there was maximum damage, you're talking about 13% of the US population. The damage wouldn't be impactful as Asians are flushed with cash. Plus there are videos of these chicks trying to find and shame patrons of the business. Problem with that is, there is a monopoly over things like nail salons, and there's little choice selection. The business choice selection thing has a time decay. I see people starting to go for Bud Light again, they're using Paypal again.

  The hardest part of agentic commerce isn't the payment. It's the trust. At Consensus in Miami, our VP & Head of BD @lei_lei0904 joined @csuitepodcast to break down what it actually takes to let AI agents transact safely. ▷ Agentic commerce is already here: x402 has crossed 100M transactions, and the space went from ~20 companies in 2024 to 500+ today, with Google, Stripe, PayPal, Amazon and Shopify all moving in. ▷ Trust can't be an afterthought: compliance and security have to be built in from day one, at the infrastructure level. That's what Agent Passport does, spend within the limits you set, with a kill switch you control. ▷ Payments have to move at machine speed: agent transactions are often API calls worth cents, where traditional rails charging 3% simply break. Building the trust layer for the agent economy. 🪁

  @justvikinggg Indeed, although I'm not surprised considering I laid everything out clean as can be, Kept vulgarity to a minimum and sure, I called 'em a ******' dumbass for defending this disgusting trash... but otherwise I really have no issues with them. (P.S That and if they were to respond they'd have to actually account for all of the info above, There's really no way to spin it any other way than "She knew what she signed up for by getting a paypal account, Then she got caught and as such Actions have consequences. Does it suck? Obviously, yes.. but for someone like Vex? I don't feel bad.

  @Kaichaikat @vexmlk @PayPal I dont know what PayPal business account does or does not do... i was referring to regist3ring an LLC, having a tax i.d. and issuing invoices directly for commissions and not utilizing PayPal 'Traditional' people would say but it provides you legitimacy and legal records (hell of a lot less likely to worry about issues like this using verified, insured and nearly universally accepted and preffered vendors)

  2) off the top, taking your $5 down to $4.75. They then take $1 as a @PayPal processing fee, something I have NEVER seen in any of these kinds of apps, this takes your payment to $3.75 which they then exchange from USD to the currency you use, mine was GBP. That left me with...

  @sh0ckth3syst3m Vgen does that because if it happens enough times paypal will charge them more to do business. "Problem playforms" like porn already have high transaction rates from people trying to claim porn they bought was fraud. Likewise, vgen will be punished if every scammer they let on the platform got a chargeback

  Stripe walked away from crypto in 2018. Said it was too slow. Too volatile. Not ready. They just came back. USDC, live, real merchants, real transactions. Not just Stripe. Visa is now settling money between banks using USDC on Ethereum. PayPal built PYUSD and loaded it into 430 million wallets. Tether and USDC move more dollars per year than Visa's card network. Read that again. Here's why this is happening: wiring money between banks takes 3 days and costs up to $25. USDC lands in seconds. Any time. Sundays. Holidays. 3am. For a few cents. Visa's current system takes 2 days to actually move the money after you swipe your card the "instant" you see on your phone is an IOU. USDC settles for real while you're still putting your wallet away. The companies that built how you pay for everything looked at blockchain rails, compared them to what they're running now, and said: this is better. So they switched. Stripe, Visa, PayPal these aren't crypto companies. They're the backbone of global commerce. And they all chose the same infrastructure. That's not a bet on crypto. That's crypto winning.

  3 ways to turn $30K into $1M in the next crypto cycle. This is my second idea, and one I have a lot of faith in: $EXOD — Exodus Movement Inc. Exodus is no longer just a self-custody wallet. It is moving toward becoming a full crypto everything-app. It already has: Self-custody wallets Swaps for major crypto assets On-ramps and off-ramps Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and card options Debit card infrastructure Stablecoin/payment infrastructure Major wallet partnerships A long-term UFC payments sponsorship Plans to bring more financial products into the app They have also acquired companies that help them issue cards and support payment infrastructure for crypto businesses. That matters. Exodus is positioning itself to sit between self-custody, swaps, fiat rails, cards, stablecoins, payments, and eventually broader financial services. During the last cycle, Exodus shares traded as high as around $117. The current price is around $6.68. That means the stock would need to rise roughly 33x to reach $222 per share. A $30K investment at today’s price would buy roughly 4,490 shares. At $222, that position would be worth close to $1M. Is $222 unrealistic? Maybe. But remember: Exodus has already traded above $100 before, and the company is much bigger today than it was in the last cycle. Since then, Exodus has: Reported record annual revenue Expanded its product range Acquired payment/card infrastructure companies Signed a long-term UFC payments sponsorship Built relationships with major crypto platforms Integrated with wallets and platforms like MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Magic Eden and others with a combined 230 million users Built a stronger position as a self-custody and crypto infrastructure company Exodus reported $121M in revenue for 2025. If they can 4x revenue to around $500M in the next cycle, a $6.6B valuation would be around 13x revenue. That is not crazy for a fast-growing crypto infrastructure company in a bull market. Back in 2021, Exodus raised $75M at a much higher revenue multiple. The company is now larger, more developed, and has far more products and distribution. The bull case is simple: If crypto adoption grows, self-custody grows, swaps grow, stablecoin payments grow, and their partnerships start driving serious volume, Exodus could look massively mispriced at today’s valuation. I do not think the market is pricing in what Exodus is becoming. $EXOD is one of the most underpriced crypto-related equities I can find. At $6.68, I think the risk/reward over the next 3–4 years is extremely attractive.

  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)

  @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
