  My best snipe? Ghastly Charger's Skull at 10% market value which I sold to some rich kid via PayPal. The snipe sometimes had a human cost however. Mislisted items meant someone made an error. Underpriced a rare item by three zeros. Panicked and immediately messaged you. "Hey I messed up the price. Any chance you'd sell it back?" Every time a difficult decision. Worth enough to block the player and take the profit? Or were they so genuinely heartfelt that you gave the gold back and forgot the margin? It was a vibe check and a greed check simultaneously. I was a poor kid in Estonia. Survival instincts are hard to argue with. But not always.

  @ProofOfCash @lightning This is where the problem is. The gigantic gap between what a Dev and a normie think is so simple and easy. Do you agree lightning is almost exclusive used with PayPal clones?

  @anna_gcrf Yeah there's an interest free thing on PayPal atm so i'll probably get that, the issue is I get disqualified for a lot of things because I can technically stand and get to the bathroom even though I functionally can't do anything else. Which is really frustrating.

  @PayPal being you have zero way to connect with a human how am I supposed to fix my account? I don't have my old phone number to receive a code therefore I can't do anything. Every time I try to use your assistant it freezes my app. Could someone get with me? Please.

  Someone should create a micro-blogging app where people can discuss news and trends in brevity. This time limit the text to 150 - 200 letters. This is why we signed up to X. But right now X is Instagram, YouTube plus PayPal. Microblogging is broken. We need a new outlet. Trust me. If it's simple and fun people will leave X to build somewhere new from scratch. We miss Twitter so much.

  @20DollarChicken @Maryine_34 Begging for YOUR own money is crazy 😭 PayPal did same to me. Fix: Tell clients "bank transfer only" now. Cash out via Bybit P2P → instant. No begging. Never again: [check my pinned]

  🧵 Payments Pulse — Week of April 13, 2026 The payments industry just entered a new era. SWIFT is building a live blockchain ledger for 24/7 cross-border settlement. Stablecoin regulation is cracking open in Washington. PayPal is losing ground fast. A lot moved this week. Here's what you need to know: --- 1/ SWIFT GOES ON-CHAIN SWIFT completed its blockchain ledger design phase and is now building an MVP — with 40+ banks, including JPMorgan, HSBC, Bank of America, and Deutsche Bank. Live transactions before end of 2026. The goal: 24/7 cross-border settlement using tokenized deposits. No more waiting until Monday. --- 2/ CROSS-BORDER Why this matters more than the headlines say: Traditional cross-border rails shut down on weekends. That means if your CFO wires EUR on Friday, it may not settle until Tuesday. SWIFT's blockchain ledger doesn't replace correspondent banking. It adds an orchestration layer on top of it. That's the quiet revolution. --- 3/ CRYPTO RAILS Stablecoin B2B payment volume hit $226B in 2025 — up 733% year-over-year. That's not crypto speculation. That's enterprise treasury teams quietly replacing slow, expensive wire transfers. The GENIUS Act (signed July 2025) gave them the regulatory cover they were waiting for. Adoption is now the story, not regulation. --- 4/ B2B PAYMENTS PayPal is in trouble. Q4 2025: missed earnings, missed revenue, new CEO in March. The problem isn't the product — it's merchant adoption. They rebuilt checkout, but couldn't get merchants to upgrade fast enough. Apple and Google are eating their lunch on mobile. Gen Z isn't clicking the PayPal button. --- 5/ STAT OF THE WEEK $120,000,000,000 That's how much businesses lose every year to cross-border B2B payment fees. For context: that's more than the GDP of 100+ countries. And yet most enterprises still use the same correspondent banking rails they used in 1990. The opportunity for disruption is enormous. --- 6/ UNDER THE RADAR Most people are sleeping on this: the Federal Reserve published a new note on payment stablecoins and cross-border payments — on March 30. Key finding: stablecoin adoption could meaningfully reduce the role of correspondent banks in international settlement. The Fed is not dismissing this. They're modeling it. Pay attention. --- 7/ REG WATCH Three regulatory fronts to watch right now: → US: GENIUS Act live, but stablecoin yield rules still contested — Coinbase vs. banking groups → EU: MiCA fully operational, USDT delisted from major exchanges, USDC up 337% in Europe → UK: FCA stablecoin framework expected in 2026, secondary legislation pending The US and EU are diverging. That creates compliance complexity for any payments firm operating across both. --- 8/ CONTRARIAN TAKE Everyone says SWIFT's blockchain ledger is proof traditional finance is "winning" the crypto rails war. I think that's the wrong frame. SWIFT moving on-chain isn't a victory for banks. It's an admission that the stablecoin threat was real enough to force action. The question now: can they execute before Ripple, Circle, and Stripe's Bridge build the same thing faster? --- 9/ PERSON TO FOLLOW @jerallaire — Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Circle's USDC is now the fastest-growing stablecoin in Europe post-MiCA, up 337% in H1 2025. He posts daily on the intersection of stablecoins, payments, and monetary policy. If you want to understand where crypto rails and enterprise payments converge — this is the feed. --- 10/ WHAT I'M WATCHING NEXT WEEK → Any update on SWIFT's MVP bank onboarding timeline → PayPal Q1 2026 earnings — new CEO Enrique Lores' first public commentary → FedNow and RTP adoption data — will Request for Payment finally break through in B2B? → Movement on the US stablecoin yield dispute Follow @pymtexecutive for real-time takes as these develop. --- That's the Payments Pulse for April 14, 2026. 🏁 If this thread was useful: → Repost tweet 1 so others in payments can follow along → Follow @pymtexecutive for daily cross-border, B2B & crypto payments intelligence → Reply with anything I missed this week See you next Monday.

  @ecutruin @Xurran @PayPal unfortunately , you are entitled to the artist's process when that artist is selling it as a product to you , that is the point of a commission ☺ it is an artist's responsibility to accommodate you when you are purchasing a custom work from them , and once more , in this particular process the "artist" here *did* share their "progress" however it was not authentic and they continued to story that the art work was their own work without any generative AI tools used lastly , human beings are not omnipotent , so it is not viable for us to magically generate some sort of mind reading ability of foresight to tell the future as to whether or not someone is going to go back on their word or lie outright , the point remains still yet: even if you *did* make an agreement beforehand , that person can still lie , they don't have to honor their word , which is still not the fault nor responsibility of the client when the liar turns out to be the artist who was peddling a product that was dishonest , this is the very core of a "scam" what is the client meant to do ? interrogate them ? there is no guarantee of the truth , even still , the artist continues to double down , this is one particular scenario and though you are attempting to make some kind of blanket statement to defend the potential usage of AI still makes no difference here unfortunately the artist was deceptive , and agreements beforehand or after the fact made no difference , because the artist was questioned and denied the claims , and continued to be unable to produce a commission with the details requested in accuracy , instead what was delivered was inconsistent with what was advertised and the artist's behavior and "progress" provided contradicted the artist's own statements i don't disagree with the latter part of what you are saying , and some people do trace AI , you're right about this , i'm not going to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong because it has nothing to do with the scenario . artists sometimes trace over real life references or even pictures they took of their selves for poses , sometimes models will model poses and allow artists to use it as a base for free or for cost , so i understand what you're saying . sometimes people are forthcoming about it and other times they are not , sometimes there are people out there who even trace over other artist's works without permission and sell it as their own no AI involved , but we cannot blame clients if the artist is the one who holds the responsibility to be honest about it when it comes to using AI , and the person was not drawing over AI - the luxray had 5 legs , absol has 4 eyes , even if you traced over AI to assist your art work then anyone can debate that elsewhere , but a person who is paying attention to what they're doing is not going to include these blatant mistakes , and there are even more to list . some people are still not able to easily spot AI , and they don't understand; it's still new to some , and it's still new to my friend here , people have to learn to spot it and make their choice as to whether or not they are going to support or or avoid it . but regardless of that , the artist explained away even these glaring issues as her own works , which , if it even had been true , then perhaps there is even more of an issue than the simple usage of AI . still , this is the whole purpose of making a TOS , which the artist must do; it makes no sense for that responsibility to be on the client , because it is not their business and they are not the ones who are held to account for the invoices . if you're trying to say that commissioning someone in good faith without witnessing a TOS first is unwise , then i can't entirely disagree with you , but the responsibility is still on the person who was dishonest . people may try new things and be unaware , and that's just something that happens . i've been scammed before by people who didn't even use AI , this was well over a decade ago and AI wasn't really a thing - they just simply chose not to complete the commission . i don't bear any resentments towards them or anything , so i'm not attempting to detract , i'm just saying that we cannot always prevent or predict what someone is going to do to us , so it's unfair to expect a client to be all knowing , they are not running the business , they are merely a patron and if the business owner takes advantage of the patrons , then who is at fault ? we can only know what we know until further information is revealed , and the artist here was still revealed to be deceptive in the end . perhaps it is a learning lesson for the client , sure , but for the artist , if they are not willing to operate truthfully , what can be done ? there is no willingness to change the structure of the business nor admit to the fact that AI was used , she's already determined that , which cannot be helped . we cannot force others to concede , but stand by our own convictions

  @AnthonySabatini I'm liking Mr Donald's less and less but he is allowed to trade stock and basically legally insider-trade being immune from insider trading laws as a US Member of Congress? What rule is he broken by trading PayPal stock and disclosing it?

  Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

  @Amentis1 @TrageKeinBh Exactly. Online banking + Bybit P2P = you keep 100%. PayPal + Africa = you lose 8-10%. Broke it down here:
