  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...

  @paulg The founder has the right instinct. Hardware companies require patient capital, sustained execution and real customer demand. Nvidia took roughly three decades to reach a $1 trillion valuation. Pre-humanoid, many ambitious robotics companies have struggled because commercializing hardware is expensive and slow. Like using Paypal proceeds to build Tesla, SW successes may create the capital required for more ambitious hardware bets. Good to see more investors betting the long game in HW!

  @PayPal @Mastercard PayPal is literally the worst company with nonexistent customer service. It continues to facilitate fraud and makes it impossible to resolve issues. Why would anyone sign up for this credit card?

  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.

  The Cursor SpaceXAI overlap is giving Venmo PayPal vibes. Are Cursor and Grok going to stay separate things? This is called Grok Bot but I'm getting routed to a Cursor login portal when I try to launch the Mac client? I need to connect my Grok account to Cursor to launch a Grok product? What we doin here fam? I'm confused as ****

  I don’t use PayPal Goods & Services because funds can be held for a long time and I’ve had issues with chargebacks in the past I prefer payment methods that don’t put either side through lengthy disputes

  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.

  @HelpSupercard @2KSupport My web store checkout has been broken since Thursday. Filed a ticket, got ZERO responses, and you just sent me a satisfaction survey for a ticket you silently closed. PayPal works fine everywhere else. Please have a human look at my account.

  𝟮𝟳-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 $𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘆-𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Summer of 1995. Musk had just dropped out of a Stanford physics PhD program to start a company with his brother Kimbal. No money, no income, and for three or four months, he showered at the YMCA and worked out of what he later called the nastiest office you could imagine. The office had one hidden advantage. An internet service provider sat on the floor below, so Musk drilled a hole straight through the floor and ran a cable directly to their server, cutting his own bandwidth costs to almost nothing. He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either. “I personally wrote the first national maps, directions, yellow pages and white pages on the internet in the summer of 1995 in C with a little C++. Didn’t use a web server to save CPU cycles, just read port 8080 directly. Couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router, so wrote an emulator based on a white paper.” The company was Zip2, online city guides for newspapers, restaurant listings, directions, the basics of local search before local search existed. By 1998, CBS came to film him for a segment on his new life: the vintage Jaguar, six-figure salary, a market Microsoft had already tried and failed to enter. Then the reporter asked the standard question of the era. Where is the internet going? “The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast, all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.” That was 1998. He was describing a feed before anyone called it one. In February 1999, Compaq bought Zip2 for $307M .Musk’s cut was roughly $22M .That money became X. com, X. combecame PayPal, and PayPal became the seed money for everything after it.

  Denistratos (@Denistratos) reported 54 minutes ago

  @SumPoorSlob Let’s take this point by point. First, it is simply impossible that you sent a request to the Stratosphere bot on Telegram and received no response. Support works 7 days a week, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM New York time, and responds within an hour. Where exactly did you write? The only link to the Stratosphere bot is always in my bio. Please be careful. Scammers took over the Stratosphere X page back in May and used it for fraudulent activities. I posted two warnings about it. As far as I know, they have been inactive for more than a month now – Canadian law enforcement is dealing with them. Second, we accept payments in USDC and USDT – three supported networks for each – and in BTC. This is not a matter of personal preference on my part – it is a matter of US and UAE financial regulations. Payment by card is something bloggers on X, YouTube, Substack, etc. can accept. We cannot. Third, there is no need to pay twice as much. I assume you probably went down some unnecessarily complicated route involving intrusive KYC through centralized exchanges or non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet. As far as I know, buying and sending crypto is quite straightforward through Cash App, Coinbase, PayPal / Venmo. Unfortunately, we cannot accept payment in any other way. Before deciding whether to try it or not, you can simply use the 24-hour free trial – it has been available since August 1.
