  @AndreaTaz4ever2 Unfortunately, I’m having some trouble with the PayPal. I put in a test amount tried to send it to you and was told that my device wasn’t recognized. With PayPal my device is always recognized. Unfortunately I’m not going to change my password or put in any other bank or credit card information. Not saying you did it or up to anything but having trouble.

  @bashildy Do you remember when Katrina happened and they raised money and Paypal shut their fundraiser down? 2005 was a helluva year.

  @Drinkooor @GrapheneOS Thanks, but this should come with a caveat that old reports likely aren't applicable anymore. It lists Revolut and PayPal as compatible, I tried the latter recently and it gives an error about phone being rooted.

  For founders doing $5m+/yr in revenue, you need to be sitting on $1m+ in credit lines minimum (if u want to get to the next level). Story - Just had a call with yet another NL 🇳🇱 chad ecom founder doing $25m/year, actively selling off dropshipping stores to go hard on branded ecom. Living a global life traveling 60 to 90 days a year. Smart operator. But his current setup is not optimal. He's been running everything through a Dutch entity and Dutch credit cards. Has the tools ready for a US switch - like an approved ITIN sitting there doing nothing. Zero access to US credit lines, inventory financing, and travel infrastructure that could completely transform how he scales and lives. Here's how we're fixing it: The first move is structural. We're transitioning all revenue, Shopify payments, and PayPal from the Dutch entity into the US LLC. That single shift unlocks the entire US banking and credit ecosystem he's been locked out of. Before anything else though, he needs a US residential mail-forwarding address locked in, because that's the foundation everything else sits on. From there, the credit build kicks off immediately. 🔥 He already holds a Dutch Amex in good standing. Through the Amex Global Transfer program, he can leverage that existing relationship to get approved for a US Amex card without waiting 9 to 12 months to build history from scratch. No US residency required, just a US postal address for delivery. This bypasses the biggest bottleneck most foreign founders hit. 🔥 Next, we start building his ITIN credit profile properly. Entry level cards that accept ITINs (Capital One, Chase Freedom Rise once his Chase checking is active), low utilization, on-time payments across multiple accounts, a credit builder installment loan to mix it up. After 6 to 12 months of solid profile maturity, the heavy hitters open up: Chase Ink, Capital One Spark, eventually full business lines underwritten against his revenue. We're talking $1M to $5M in inventory financing to fuel the branded ecom dreams he's chasing. That's not theoretical. That's what Chase can extend to a business doing his numbers once the credit infrastructure actually exists. 🔥 Then there's the travel side. For 60 to 90 travel days a year across luxury properties, burning cash on full-rate stays is just idiotic. We're getting him into the Hotel Purveyor program. The fee to access that doubles as a creditable escrow, meaning it counts as a down payment toward a future investment. In return, he gets access to PHANTOM RATES at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W and comparable properties - 80% to 90% off standard market value. No points games. That's paying $100 to $200 a night where others pay $900 to $1,500. For a guy traveling nearly three months a year, the math on that alone is absurd. 🔥 And when he's ready + we have a new hotel acquisition lined up, there's the fractional hotel investment option through the program. Historically 25% annual returns to boost his wealth generation while he enjoys major travel savings. We're holding off on the complex global tax structuring for now. Get the foundation right first. US entity active, US credit profile building, Amex Global Transfer executed. That's the 60 to 90 day sprint before anything more sophisticated gets layered in. But you best believe he will be rocking 0% tax soon (legally). The current setup is a 2% cash back ceiling on a business doing $25M+ a year. The fact that he got to that level w/o credit lines is astonishing. But with US credit infrastructure and proper financing in place, his biz will scale effortlessly.

  @minsunggful Yeah I’ve also been having issues every time I’ve tried to buy the ticket through PayPal. Just thought it was my bank that was the problem but I guess it’s PayPal then. I had tow wait a few hours and try again before I could buy it.

  @antonisanchezx I am not surprised at all because he did the same thing to me when I was going through Cancer treatment and had a fundraiser. They all contacted GoFundMe and said that I was faking having cancer and GoFundMe took it down. What’s wonderful is the response since her Venmo was interfered with… let’s keep sharing her PayPal info!

  Worst Boyfriend Ever (@TwinkBukowski) reported 33 minutes ago

  I slept in the same bed as my mom last night. We tried to find something on Roku to watch but there was nothing worth watching and so we quit, and I just fell asleep at 9 pm. She asked me how Japan went and I said fine. I had fun. She said how you doing on money and I said fine. She said you know you’re going to have to pay taxes on that “meme coin” from January right? I said yes of course. She said you’re not in trouble are you? I said no I’m fine. Truth is I’m in so much trouble I wouldn’t even know where to start. I just looked at myself in the mirror and saw a disheveled cave man. I used to see my father but now I see something somehow even worse. That girl who sent a $1k donation just disputed the charge and I fear she’s going to win the dispute. I owe money to Verizon, the government, my bank, a girlfriend rental service in Japan I financed via PayPal, Stripe, dozens and dozens, scores even, of parking tickets all in different states, speeding tickets, toll fees, and that’s not even to mention the rapes. These past few weeks I’ve realized that I will not be able to outrun these crimes forever, everything I’ve done for this blog. Eventually one of these girls will try really hard to punish me for something—more likely a guy actually—and they will succeed. And more people will be happy than sad about it, that they finally got me, that this all finally ends. I can only hope, in that moment the blue and red lights are shining outside my door, that one of the happy people is me.

  I've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!

  Fintech: I have been in and out of fintech for many years. I started when Paypal was spun off and got in early on Square after the IPO. I tend to buy the sector when its cheap and then sell it when it gets really expensive. I think this time around I am just going to stick with it as a theme and just trade around my positions as they get expensive or cheap. $SOFI is my one an only neobank. They have massive user growth, deep and growing cross selling, and they have impressive loan engine. I suspect it could get hit if the credit cycle goes bad with over 60% of their revenues coming from those loans. Long term, this should grow into a banking leader. The newer generations are leaving old banks which offer less convenience and services. They could reach 50 to 60 million users over the long term. $AFRM is one of my two Buy Now Pay Later companies. Consumers, especially younger generations, are tired of predatory credit cards. With BNPL, you only get approved for credit when you request it. You don't get a huge spending limit which cause excess spending. If the consumer does not pay, they don't get any more credit. Its an on demand system that works best for both the consumer and the lender. I suspect that BNPL will replace a huge part of the credit card market over time. This is the best of breed company focused in the US. $KLAR is my other BNPL company. They are a global company with over 100 million customers across 28 countries. They also have a banking charter which gives them a lower cost of capital. The management seems sound and the valuation is just a fraction of Affirms. $LMND is the top insurtech company. They are working in P&C with renters, pet and car insurance. They have strong growth and could continue to take market share from older companies who are not where the younger consumer is online and with technology. I have delt with insurance companies and all the BS I had to go through just to get a quote. I had one from Lemonade in just a few minutes. $LIFE is another insurtech company focused in the life insurance space. They use a blend of agent sales and direct to consumer advertising. They are a newer IPO so I don't know the management as well. I do know it trades at just a fraction of the Lemonade valuation. If the fundamentals prove out to be good, this could be a huge winner. It already has been as I bought my position when it was around $10 to $12. $UPST is my first and main credit tech company. I have been play this company for years when it gets cheap. They are a strong and solid company. My only issue with them is their focus is mostly on unsecure personal loans. That makes them a bit more risky. $BETR is my new and more risky credit tech company. They are not public that long and the management is more risky. I do love that they are focused in the mortgage and HELOC space. These are secured loans that are less likely to default. If the management turns out to be strong, this could be a big winner. $CRCL is my one and only play on crypto as a company. I hold a lot of $USDC in my wallets when I am not buying Bitcoin with it. It controls 80% of the market. It now faces a ton of competition so there is a lot or risk. I love $USCD because in my Coinbase Wallet, it earns interest for me while I am waiting to use it for crypto buying.

  @femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

  @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs The checkout is broken, it lists iDeal as an option but never gets there. It says 'card is declined' for a payment option without a card (or even redirecting to iDeal). This is like picking Paypal but saying my 'card is declined' before even asking to login

  @pcristoaloia @hendry_hugh Why will it take off? I can do international funds transfers from my bank, or via VISA or Mastercard or Amex or Wise or PayPal or Revolut, etc. If agentic AI stops breaking out of testing sandboxes and hacking into hugging face and becomes trustworthy enough to be given a credit card, why can’t it do transfers with these existing solution? Can’t all of them be provided with an API accessible over that internet thing that is now 40+ year old technology? I don’t see any problem that I have that a stablecoin solves.

  I’ve had people who hacked into my computer people who hacked into my iPad My PayPal is ****** up My QuickBooks got hacked into and they messed with my invoices and I have created that account just to prove a point and it was proven. People are going down peoples followers list, and targeting people on social media. And this brings me to the past seven months. You have collapse the economy and you’re going to start begging people to pay you and the people that you’re begging to pay you and buy your services and products are the ones that you cyberbullied… Every last celebrity that participated in this every last business owner that participated in this you are going to go out of business by the time this is all through and I promise you I really am praying on your downfall.

  @Adamthechampion @JustEatUK @JustEatUK customer service is terrible. They've screwed me multiple times/ways and they'll refuse a refund even if u have video evidence. Moral of the story, if u have to use their awful service, always pay with PayPal they're significantly better when a refund is necessary.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."
