  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  Called Paypal and my bank today since I was in the group affected by the Novel Horizons shut down. Sadly the transaction was too far outside of their windows of dispute for them to be able to do anything for me so I'm out 280 for a Sinder figure I never got. Yay...

  In 2012, Honey launched as a browser extension that promised to find coupon codes automatically and save you money while shopping online. It blew up. Millions of people installed it. Thousands of merchants partnered with it. Some of the biggest YouTubers on the internet promoted it. Then MegaLag started digging. What he found made Honey look very different from the innocent coupon extension everyone thought they were using. Honey could allegedly replace a creator's affiliate cookie at checkout, taking the commission for itself even when that creator had originally sent the customer to the store. And sometimes, Honey didn't even have to find you a better deal. MegaLag also found evidence that Honey's “best coupon” system wasn't necessarily searching the entire internet for the best price. Merchants could control which discounts Honey showed. Then things got worse. His later investigations uncovered Honey's alleged use of “stand-down” workarounds, allowing it to continue receiving affiliate attribution despite agreements telling it not to overwrite another affiliate's referral. By 2026, this wasn't just a YouTube controversy anymore. Affiliate networks started cutting ties with Honey, and the extension had lost more than 7 million Chrome users and thousands of merchant relationships. Then came the lawsuit. PayPal tried to get the case dismissed. It didn't work. On June 22, 2026, a federal judge denied PayPal's motion to dismiss the amended lawsuit, allowing the claims to move forward. And that's why I call Honey a scam. Not because it sometimes failed to find a coupon. But because something marketed as a tool for saving you money allegedly became very good at making money from the transaction itself. Honey wasn't looking for the best deal. It was looking for its cut.

  @OaklabsAlerts I tried to order something (a build and battle box for brilliant stars) and I got the same payment error that I had during the 30th booster bundle drop. Tried mobile and laptop with Apple Pay, credit card and PayPal.

  Caller (Jake): “I’m 16, and I make around $50,000 to $80,000 a month doing e-commerce. “My mom has no idea. “She’s very traditional, and I’m afraid she’ll shut it down if I tell her.” Dave Ramsey: “You’re making $50,000 a month at 16 years old?” Jake: “Yes, sir. “I run Shopify dropshipping stores, eBay arbitrage, and a bunch of online businesses. “I have a little over $300,000 sitting in a PayPal account because my mom is joint on my bank account.” Dave Ramsey: “So you’ve been doing this for four or five months?” Jake: “About eight months. The first few months were slow, and then it picked up really fast.” Dave Ramsey: “Your mother doesn’t know any of this?” Jake: “No. All the money is in PayPal because she’s joint on my bank account. “I want to tell her, but I know she’ll be very skeptical of what I’m doing. “She’s always told me she wants me to take a traditional path, and I’m worried she’ll put an end to it.”

  XRP Insider (@xrpinsider2017) reported 23 minutes ago

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @JermainePercins @stripe @PayPal The cause of this was when I was doing about $500,000 revenue monthly I ran into horrible supply manufacture issues that caused my dispute rate to spike to 5%+ for an extended time.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Had same problem. My item didn’t show up. I used PayPal for the purchase and they did all the heavy lifting once I knew it was a scam. They contacted the seller and got no response. Couple weeks later I had my funds back in my account.

  I've only ever had one job in my life. It lasted a few months, and I quit on the spot when I was 17. A week before, £3,000 had landed in my PayPal account. At the time I was working a few hours a week at Morrisons for about £180 a month. Stacking shelves, standing on the till. Then I made almost 17x that in a week from something I built myself. On my own time, with nothing but my phone and an idea. So I stood there doing the maths in my head, walked up to my manager and quit on the spot. No notice. No plan for what came next. To this day, that's still the only job I've ever had. That same year I started sixth form, and instead of slowing the business down I kept it running through the whole thing. Working on it before school. During lunch instead of eating with everyone else. Last thing before bed, replying to people who wanted to join. My teachers noticed. They weren't happy. A couple of them pulled me aside and told me straight. You're distracted. This is just a phase. If you actually want to go somewhere in life, focus on what matters. I understood why they said it. I just didn't agree. So I kept going. Still came out with three A's at the end of it. Looking back, that year taught me something about myself. I've always been a risk taker. It's just how I'm wired. Everyone around me was following the same path. School, uni, grad job, climb the ladder. And I get why. It's safe. It's what we're told to do. But I kept choosing the high risk option instead. Betting on the thing that was working over the thing that was expected. And every big step forward in my career since has come from making that same trade. I remember watching an old interview with Steve Jobs where he talked about starting Apple with Wozniak. He said they realised they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. That's exactly how I felt at 17. And honestly, it's how I still feel every single day. Because the worst thing that can happen is you lose it all and start over. Except this time with more knowledge, more experience, and everything to gain all over again. That's the whole trade. Limited downside, unlimited upside. Most people never take it. Not because the risk is too big, but because the story about the risk is.
