  I bet he wishes he didn’t have to sell the ones he did. However I think he did that on purpose to drive the price down to buy more. Based on math the supply should be just about gobbled up. With what you can do with bitcoin it is clearly a utility and not going away. Who in there right mind would sell with all the major brokers now selling bitcoin ??? Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, Venmo, PayPal Morgan Stanley it’s only a matter of time keep buying and stacking

  @SpanishEchidna @RockitGamesNOW So this is a technical issue with paying via PayPal on Rock It's Shopify site? If so, have you tried a different payment method?

  @_ChokoMami In my case, I didn't even get to do comms, people barely so my stuff, and when I finally started to get more, I had to shut down the whole thing because PayPal doesn't work in my country anymore, I can never get money from the outside anymore.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @cloverclubcos If it’s not too much trouble!!! I’d really appreciate it if you could help me with this. I can pay for the item and shipping via PayPal, and I also have a forwarding warehouse that can ship it to Taiwan for me, which should be a little cheaper than shipping it directly🥹

  @GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD

  @bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

  Does she even understand what PayPal does? What restructuring is. Who are the clients? Why is their business down? Or is it a requirement that you have to be completely illogical to be a Modi and BJP basher.

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.
