  I find the Elon hate so funny. People can’t compliment his work without the disclaimer “I don’t like him BUT…” Relax. The guy made $180M from PayPal and put THE WHOLE thing back into building the next thing. He made all of Tesla’s electric vehicle patents public allowing for competition. And his SpaceX IPO has made 4,400 employees millionaires who otherwise wouldn’t be. So if you’re angry about him becoming the world’s first trillionaire because ‘nobody should be that rich’ or you don’t like his opinions… Remember he’s probably working harder than most of us today not relaxing on a yacht somewhere. And if everyone shared the same opinions the world would be seriously dull. Let’s take the lessons and learn from his success instead of putting him down to make ourselves look good. You can learn from him without liking him or agreeing with him. I think it’s probably smart to do so.

  @PayPal Update: Product issue with a platform and bad HR with someone using the payment gateway, been working great since. 8/10 - not 10 because, take care of your own team being consistently professional across all régions if it's tech support messieurs.

  Drew Mia Winters as a mannequin laying on the basement table faceup. I also posted this as a product (a print) on my website, but the shop section isnt loading when I click on it as I write this. Maybe my site's shop section cant handle the load its getting?! Whatever, but thanks for looking. I think if people would eventually be interested in buying a few prints from me, I'd just ask them for their order and send them an invoice through paypal and do it that way. I don't understand why the websites I make keep getting problems. ughh

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

  @codeofvets @PayPal This is why I shut down my account years ago when they announced their new policy of basically "if we suspect you of anything or just don't like you we will close your account and fine you $1,200 completely at our discretion. There will be no appeal process so don't even ask."

  @ZandoraVT It’s kinda not really their fault tho, it’s Paypal.. if the artist used vgen payment and faced this issue which it wouldn’t even happen bcz they can’t chargeback on a bank transfer or request refund without artist approval or vgen involvement I would definitely fault them

  BREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.
