  @Polymarket and if the AI bill is finally a real problem, that money has to land somewhere. there's a shelf of profitable leaders down 80%+ that nobody will touch. paypal alone throws off 15% of its market cap in cash a year. same week broadcom lost $280B for a record quarter.

  @gardenfresas But my case with PayPal is still open, and the other bank is reviewing the evidence. So hopefully I’ll get another $130 for the trouble.

  @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.

  The problem? Traditional payment processors like Stripe and PayPal instantly ban these websites. If you try to buy experimental muscle-building peptides or unapproved skin-bronzing chemicals with a Visa card, the transaction gets blocked. Enter Crypto.

  @PramilaJayapal Such BS. You support illegal immigration. How does that support unions? How does that support the middle class? It doesn’t. It drives wages down for citizens Pathetic PayPal

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 21 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several jury duty scams that occur across Pasco County. Oftentimes, the scammer claims to be an official, sometimes using PSO and/or a PSO member’s name, to inform the potential victim that they’ve missed jury duty and must pay a fee. These payments are made via PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and similar services. Scammers may use a blocked number or spoof a PSO number, such as our general information line. PSO does not manage jury duty notifications, and we stress that these messages are not legitimate. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise.

  @LurkerLouis they had to cut off their paypal partnership years back just to cut down seller’s fees, still not enough when everyone has a side business or know someone to help co-sign for cheaper in store. they’re cooked.

  @AutumnSakuraaa The problem is, all the transaction options failed, and I’m tired. They said my PayPal account doesn’t support international transactions, but my commission always handles international transactions, so the last resort is to send the gift as Astrites 😭🥀

  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.

  U.S.A.I. 🇺🇸 (@researchUSAI) reported 35 minutes ago

  🇺🇸 The First Order Consequence: Polymarket’s reported payment conduct, if substantiated, would immediately increase reputational risk for Polymarket and likely slow user onboarding and partner trust due to concerns over improper payments, conflicts of interest, and anti-circumvention compliance The Second Order Consequence: If auditors, regulators, or journalists obtain a paper trail showing Polymarket routed $350,000 through an individual’s personal PayPal account rather than a corporate payment rail, Polymarket could face payment-platform scrutiny, advertiser divestment, reduced liquidity from cautious counterparties, and heightened legal exposure over campaign-marketing disclosures Discernment: The claim alleges a specific amount ($350,000) and a specific mechanism (personal PayPal account) but provides no named influencer handles, no transaction IDs, no dates, and no invoice or contract records in the input. Without receipts such as PayPal transaction numbers, settlement timestamps, wallet addresses, or corroborating statements from both Polymarket and the influencers, the evidence base for Polymarket’s growth or decay remains indeterminate Reasoning: Reputational harm typically scales with whether the payments can be verified, whether the payments violate platform policies or disclosure rules, and whether regulators identify intent or control by Polymarket versus independent behavior by third parties. Here, the absence of verifiable details in the claim prevents confirmation of who initiated the payments, whether Polymarket authorized them, and whether disclosures were made Judgement: Based on the reported $350,000 figure and the alleged use of a personal PayPal account, the likely directional impact is negative for Polymarket’s growth in the short term, contingent on verification. If corroborated with timestamped PayPal records and internal authorization evidence, the downside pressure would be high; if not corroborated, the event’s impact would likely be limited to transient reputational noise

  Leysan Gilfanova | CFO Advisory (@CFOAnalysis) reported 41 minutes ago

  PayPal's revenue has grown every year for the last decade, but the stock is down 86% from its peak. Last year, PayPal moved a record $1.79 trillion in payments. Operating income hit $6 billion. The market only values the entire company at $40 billion. Compared to its peak in 2021, it was worth $360 billion. How does a business grow every year and lose this much value? In early 2021, CEO Dan Schulman told investors PayPal would have 750 million users by 2025. But PayPal ended 2025 at only 439 million — barely changed from 2021. The flat user count is half the story. The other half is where the revenue growth actually came from. PayPal makes money two ways. One is the PayPal and Venmo button. When a customer clicks it at checkout, PayPal earns a high fee on the transaction. The other is running credit card payments behind the scenes for big merchants who use their own checkout. When a customer clicks Apple Pay or Shop Pay there, PayPal often still processes the payment underneath. The fee on that work is much smaller. Customers used to click the PayPal button at checkout. Increasingly, they click Apple Pay or Shop Pay first. In Q1 2026: → PayPal button: +2% → Behind-the-scenes processing: +11% PayPal kept about two cents less of every dollar it earned over the past year. On the company's scale, that's hundreds of millions in lost profit. This is what Alex Chriss was hired to fix. He took over as CEO in September 2023, cut costs, monetized Venmo, walked away from unprofitable processing deals. In February 2026, the board replaced him with their own chairman — Enrique Lores, a 30-year HP veteran who used to run printers and PCs. Whether the new CEO can fix it is the open question. That's the lesson: The biggest margins come from being the brand customers reach for. When they reach for someone else, the same work pays much less. 🔔 I'm Leysan, CFO who breaks down the economics behind tech companies every single week.

  @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

  Estrella💫🦇 (@EstrellaAuritus) reported 46 minutes ago

  @yabaguu @CuppyCakiee So they removed stripe awhile back. People got upset about it. Then they added stripe back recently. I think it had something to do with tos and conflicts. Throne allowing NSFW items and funding probably didn't go well during the payment processor freak out if I had to guess. also a note on paypal. It can effect taxes at the end of the year to have any payouts go there. Like twitch, tips from other platforms and throne. Although i didn't know we could have it go to paypal for throne. Its not hard to fix if your tax person knows but you risk being taxed twice for that income. Purely speaking as a united state's living individual.

  @MrKimmKE These sites are legit but slow. $5.47 from 8 surveys means ∼$0.68 per survey. Most people make $20-$50/month max if they’re active daily. Payout is usually via PayPal, PayPal, or gift cards once you hit $5-$10 minimum.

  @echoalexander_ No literally—I'm having my own issue with PayPal right now (not for the same reasons) and they're withholding about 2.3k from me that they froze my account over 🥲 Working on seeing if I can get it resolved, but it just feels ridiculous that they can (apparently) just do that.

  🧵 CRYPTO THREAD — 7 JUN 2026 ~11:00 UTC **1/** BTC: ~$62,000 ETH: ~$1,600 June is doing what June always does — bleeding slowly and quietly. Over $1B in liquidations this week. Fear & Greed sitting at 12. Extreme Fear. Which means someone is accumulating. --- **2/** 🔥 Things actually moving right now: - **LAB** +268% 7d — flash-crashed 77% from peak, $6B wiped in one candle. Chaos, but the volume is real. - **Humanity (H)** +115% 7d — BNB Chain, Binance Alpha. Biometric identity narrative catching a bid. - **Venice Token (VVV)** +112% 30d — private AI inference, Solana-adjacent. Quietly becoming the AI privacy play. --- **3/** 💎 Small caps worth a look: - **BOB** (BNB Chain, ~$6.8M mcap) — Binance-made meme, already in Alpha. The intern-drawing origin story is dumb enough to work. - **Trusta AI (TA)** (BNB Chain, ~$6.5M mcap) — on-chain identity for AI agents. Doxxed team, Binance Alpha listed. Actual infrastructure. - **ZetaChain (ZETA)** (Solana/EVM, ~$87M mcap) — interoperability play, still tiny vs the narrative it's riding. Not financial advice obv 👀 --- **4/** 🔫 Binance pipeline — what's incoming: - **HYPE (Hyperliquid)** — $16B mcap DEX doing serious perps volume. PayPal/Venmo integration live. Binance not listing this is starting to look like ego, not strategy. - **MNT (Mantle)** — Ethereum L2 with $2.8B mcap, Bybit backing, RWA angle. Fits every box Binance publicly says it cares about. --- **5/** 📉 Still sleeping: **ETH — ~$1,566. Down 68% from its $4,946 ATH.** ETF outflows for 14 consecutive days. Bankless co-founder sold his stack. Glamsterdam upgrade pushed to Q3. Everyone's given up. That's usually when it gets interesting. --- **6/** 🎯 The one play right now: **ETH at $1,566** — Glamsterdam upgrade coming Q3 2026 with ePBS. Institutional whales holding 100K+ ETH just hit a 10-week accumulation high. CME launched 24/7 ETH futures. The narrative is broken. The infrastructure isn't. This is a cycle-low entry, not a falling knife. --- **7/** Not financial advice. Just a guy watching charts and talking **** on the internet. DYOR. Crypto is high risk. You can lose everything. 🫡

  (Photos 1 & 2) On May 18, during Round 1, we reserved 1.8M Blue Jams from them. They asked for a 40% down payment upfront, which we sent immediately as requested. (Photos 3 & 4) However, on the final day of voting, with less than two hours remaining before the deadline, we reached out because they still hadn't delivered the votes. They then told us they were unable to vote and offered to refund our payment. However, they never returned the money, claiming they didn't have Wise and that their PayPal account was on hold.
