  @klose_alfred @myaltfr @myaltfr do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  @juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

  @Saladinbraham Reminds me of PayPal. Growing business. Low pe/ forward pe. They are buying back shares. Cheapest multiple in years. Market just doesn’t care. Down/ sideways for years. Adobe can do the same.

  @FedericoBa71889 @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So he didn't create it, he funded it with generational wealth earned from his parents who are in mining. But even then: Outside of America PayPal was never that popular. Tesla makes terrible vehicles and electric vehicles are worse for the environment currently.

  Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reported 27 minutes ago

  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

  @wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

  This is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

  @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

  Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture. The picture is Elon Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he reportedly made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. He didn’t get rich by accident or by luck. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking risks.

  If she has PayPal business account, they might be convinced into asking for a business name, number and address. They typically don't require it for a small business account (there might be a monetary window) but they can ask for that info. If she has personal only account, PayPal will not issue anything for CRA, and that's how she is evading declaring her $ gifts. It's crazy that her account has not been flagged BC she gets so much cash AND that she was collecting money in Syria

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal They're garbage. I have a few bucks sitting there that can't be moved unless I give them time of KYC. I told them ***. This is why people need NON-CUSTODIAL crypto and wallets. CakeWallet and Monero fix this. BTC has claims but it's a fully traceable NFT.
