  This is beyond brilliant - and all too, accurate. "Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube?

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???"

  @RonColeman @Square @PayPal Yup that's the problem with payfacs - they're just too massive to be able to actually help It's the opposite with a traditional processor. You own your account... Call us, text, whatsapp, email... Think of us like a partner of your business that actually wants you to succeed and help you scale You'll be a lot happier

  @AskPayPal Yes but how? I'm really stuck, by the way i can make purchases on eBay and Aliexpress, but i can't acess my account since even the only link you gave to me is not working for me. So i don't know what to do.

  @CHP_HQ Can anyone from your organization go down to San Jose and speak with PayPal? This company is literally robbing Americans blind! Can anyone in your org explain why they do not require photo ID before opening an account or how they can send money 10X cheaper than West Union

  @thecryptobasic @KennedyPattiso1 People hated on me for throwing out the idea of Ripple acquiring PayPal. I’ve also tried to explain why they will, at some point, move down stream to servicing small business and retail… PayPal is obviously a long shot. But, would immediately 1) allow Ripple to reverse merge into public markets and 2) immediately claim massive e-commerce and retail market share.

  @SparkysTech That's terrible, did PayPal actually give you any concrete reason for freezing or limiting your account? @AskPayPal

  @ecwid Page getting stuck on PayPal, PayPal not working for random people, Apple Pay also not working for everyone. This tells me it’s an Ecwid issue. Been trying to get answers for over a week.

  @cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness

  @Poulpxlu as soon as a server or a confederation is involved it's a scam for box purists. you will never change that . I just notice It's been integrated with honest wallets like verse and big comps .. tether , PayPal now visa . it's stable for fast L2 bitcoin payment and that's all I need right now :)

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

  @AranTheLichKing That sounds fine if you are using the account for actual business/creator purposes: streaming income, tips, commissions, invoices, merch, services, etc. The issue is not “having a PayPal Business account.” The issue is treating it like a name privacy shield while using it however you want. So yes, using a creator/business name like “Aran The Lich King” may be fine for branding. But when tax season comes, the income still needs to be properly tracked and reported to the correct tax authority. If you are audited and you have been hiding income, mixing personal and business activity badly, or withholding information from tax authorities, that can become a serious problem fast.
