  @LooongJooohnson @PayPal Isn't this a solution for those who want to travel to China but are struggling with payment issues? If that's your thinking, can I say that the US started using WeChat to curry favor with China?

  Hello! The restriction on my PayPal account has been removed. Due to this issue, the order deadline has been extended to August 20, 11:59 PM (UTC+8 / 8:59 AM PDT / 11:59 AM EDT). Since PayPal withdrawals require a 21-day wait, if you can help ease the financial pressure, you may continue to choose Alipay for payment. Thank you for your patience!

  @dustindoner @BR1INFINITE let me pitch you my enternet monetization model and you let me know if it sounds scummy or otherwise stupid to you. I'm open to criticism. First of all we gamify the internet. Think VR chat on a fancy topographical model. 3d internet. We solve some unknown unknowns and a lot of discovery problems. it's cool stuff. To make money I facilitate transactions at like 0.01%. Yes hosting a market for user made cosmetics, mods, etc. But also international commerce. Say you are shopping jp but spending usd. on the internet you see .jp and have to figure it out, maybe they ship to US but you need to have money in a foreign bank or some other complication. Hope they have a service that you can use. paypal fees, stripe fees, whatever. On the Enternet you would just see your native currency. If they ship to you you can buy with your native currency at a fraction of the remittance cost because we use XRPL to near instantly change the money at about the cost of a couple emails and again take ~0.01% of the trade to fund our efforts greatly undercutting the existing market and giving people more reason to use the service. The thinking is that the best crypto back end is one the users don't ever have to think about crypto in.

  @GeorgeGammon I watched your discussion with @philippilk about USD as a reserve currency with great interest. You gentlemen are both right, but I point out that people change systems reluctantly at first, but then suddenly. Nobody knows this better than software developers like me. Making the transition for even better systems like moving from Windows to Mac is a pain at first until it isn't. Sending wire transfers through Swift is a PAIN IN THE ***. It's also slow. One could say it has a lot of friction. PayPal has low friction. I'm hearing that CIPS is a low friction system. Will CIPS become trusted? That's the key. China is the world's manufacturer. She consumes raw materials and produces finished goods. It make sense to engage in transactions in RMB when possible if it is convenient. Where the Chinese appear to be building a better reserve system is via #Gold. If one can transact in RMB and have frictionless reserves in gold, that would be an attractive system. Lastly, there's resentment. Because of the behavior of the USA in sanctions and seizures of USD by foreign actors, there is great resentment building against the USA. We now have large parts of the planet that hate us for stealing their money. All eyes on China.

  I believe that the most hated stock of 2026 is probably PayPal $PYPL. Investors have almost completely abandoned it. Growth has slowed, competition has increased, and the stock has taken a massive beating. But the Q2 numbers are making me think twice. • Payments volume up 10% • Free cash flow up 157% So the question is: Is $PYPL truly broken, OR Are we hating on it more than it deserves? 👀

  In 2003 Elon Musk gave his first talk as a newly rich man, 4 years after selling Zip2 for $300 million and 1 year after eBay paid $1.5 billion for PayPal, and he spent it explaining how he would fly a rocket for $6 million. 8 years earlier he had negative money. He deferred a physics PhD at Stanford in 1995 and told his professor he'd give it a couple of quarters. The professor said he wouldn't be coming back. That was the last conversation they had. He couldn't afford an office and a place to live at the same time, so he rented the office, slept on a futon, and showered at the YMCA on Page Mill and El Camino. A tiny ISP sat one floor below. He drilled a hole through the floor, ran a null modem cable down to it, and bought internet for 100 bucks a month. 6 people total. 3 of them salespeople hired on contingency off a newspaper ad. Half the calls started with "what's the internet." The burn rate was so small the revenue covered it, so when he walked into a VC meeting he could say the company was cash flow positive. Compaq paid in cash in early 1999. At xcom the hard part was banking, brokerage and insurance stacked into one page. Months of work. Demos got polite nods. The side feature took about a day: type an email address, send money. That one got the "wow." So he pointed the whole company at the thing that took a day. 1 million customers by the end of year 2, no sales force, no VP of marketing, $0 on advertising. Then he asked why nothing had moved since Apollo. 3 trips to Moscow to price a refurbished ICBM. The shuttle burning $4 billion a year across 4 flights, close to $1 billion each, while Soyuz flew for $60 million. His answer had no silver bullet in it. 30 people. Ethernet instead of copper bundles as thick as your arm. Hundreds of small cuts that land at $6 million a flight against $25 million from the nearest rival. Same hole in the floor. Bigger building.

  @mullinsverse @lukellios they’ve not replied to any of my emails either so I’ve opted to open a PayPal case before it’s too late as my issues date was August 24th (my item was delivered though, just with a lot of inconsistencies to the mockup and damage for a preorder grade + lack of emails), good luck

  @GabrielCor54922 yes... wechat still is hit or miss with that, but my foreign linked alipay works well enough for me. that said, both apps still require some chinese ability even though the english is more prominent these days (eg errors are still in chinese) and ID vertification is cumbersome paypal is an app people outside china already use

  PayPal can be great, but the issues I’ve had with it this year are driving me insane. Of course it’s being the worst right now when I really need it. If I’m going to miss out on stuff because of this I’m really going lose it.
