  @vexmlk @PayPal We need to find other currency sites to use than one's covered by visa / mastercard and paypal but problem is that most sites don't accept other forms of payment. I started considering cashapp or something like it because then the invoices hit that before any card.

  ISSUE UPDATE: We are working with PayPal to resolve the paid bookings issue causing "Unable to Complete Booking - Temporary Connection Error." Please disable OnceHub payment collection on associated Event Types until further notice. We will share updates as they become available.

  The problem? Traditional payment processors like Stripe and PayPal instantly ban these websites. If you try to buy experimental muscle-building peptides or unapproved skin-bronzing chemicals with a Visa card, the transaction gets blocked. Enter Crypto.

  $PYPL is holding support. which is great except it's still below resistance and the structure says lower prices. so basically paypal is doing what a corrective bounce does before the next leg down. support holding doesn't change the script. it just means the scene's playing out on schedule. wave 3 waiting. $41 is the line.

  One of the most perplexing things about stablecoins is that pretty much only Tether consistently makes money, followed by MakerDAO/Sky (until recent years). Others seem to trend towards losses (Circle is a great example). Why is this perplexing? Because the world has birthed thousands of stablecoins with many, many different design architectures: * Bank deposits (CDP) * Banknotes (CDP or fully reserved) * Non-redeemable notes (algorithmic) * Metallic tokens (fiduciary or full-bodied) * Scrip (redeemable in-kind) * Central bank notes (algorithmic, fiduciary, or CDP) Most of these were successful because they alleviated money shortages* or enjoyed government monopoly. But when it comes to fully reserved (that is, 100% of the backing assets are highly liquid) private currencies, there really are very few examples of success. You could argue the Bank of Amsterdam and Venetian Banco di Rialto are examples, but they made their money mostly as custodians and other money services. Also, both are 400+ years in the past, which is a long way to reach for an example of success. So how did full-reserve standard become the model for stablecoins? USDC isn’t a big money maker, but at least it has enormous scale. USDG is winding down. GUSD, BUSD, USDP aren’t examples of winners. FDUSD also in retreat. And PayPal and Ripple throw vast sums of money at incentives. Notably, GENIUS when it comes into force prohibits issuers tying their users to buying other services from them, which is how they probably need to make money. Where full-reserve does seem to find PMF in the modern world is as a simple store of value - money market funds. The trouble is they are mostly short-term parking places AND hold assets that are disallowed under many emerging stablecoin regulatory regimes (e.g. commercial paper and certificates of deposit) So… how did it become consensus that a safe and sound stablecoin must be more constrained than a money market fund, and how did it become consensus that this model would be a good business when Circle struggles even with a $75b float? Given that this has been the hands-down, undisputed killer use case for crypto, it feels strange that more people don’t try to trace the steps of how we got to this consensus. * I have long been on record that Tether’s success is less to do with crypto per se than in alleviating USD shortages in venues with few or no dollars (like blockchains and non-US countries)

  DEUKAE VOTING TEAM ⚔️ (@deukae7voting) reported 37 minutes ago

  (Photos 1 & 2) On May 18, during Round 1, we reserved 1.8M Blue Jams from them. They asked for a 40% down payment upfront, which we sent immediately as requested. (Photos 3 & 4) However, on the final day of voting, with less than two hours remaining before the deadline, we reached out because they still hadn't delivered the votes. They then told us they were unable to vote and offered to refund our payment. However, they never returned the money, claiming they didn't have Wise and that their PayPal account was on hold.

  @SiliconSalvage My only reason for using Adobe is with their discounts. Without those, I am not bothering with $60/month. For several years they've made broken products. PayPal is quickly becoming a relic in light of crypto, BNPL, but will still stick around for now. AI chats replaced pinterest

  @memeticsisyphus I will out myself as a crypto bro momentarily. It's a bit of wishful thinking and meme magic based on the fact that we all know "real" money is fake and gay. The dollar was devalued many times over in the last few decades, and some people want a solution. For Bitcoin (and there are a LOT of crypto with different value propositions), the comparison to "digital gold" is common, but it's more of a return to the origin of money: It's a digital IOU. If we all agree to accept each other's digital IOU, then it's indistinguishable from money. Bitcoin has the added benefit (arguably) of effectively being uncontrollable, or at least difficult to control (decentralization). You don't need a bank or payment processor or any other middlemen, you can just give it to people. Many people have no problem with middlemen, society works quite well with them and they can be a safety net, but if you've ever run afoul of something like PayPal and had all the assets they were managing FOR you frozen or stolen, you start thinking "we need to get rid of these people". What turns a lot of people off of crypto, just as many or more as are turned on by it, is the speculative nature. This is just the nature of the financial beast. Should Bitcoin ever establish an actual foothold in "the real world", its value fluctuations would become substantially more limited.

  $HPNN #Digitalage NFA 1. This is not disclosure. It’s marketing copy. Nothing in that text is: filed with OTC Markets filed with the SEC independently verified audited supported by financials supported by a functioning platform supported by revenue supported by a live product It is storytelling, not reporting. 2. The entire piece is built to sound like inevitability. The structure is classic: Start with a grievance (“YouTube takes 45%”) Introduce a villain (“landlord platforms”) Introduce a crisis (“AI broke everything”) Introduce a savior (“Digitalage is the compliance layer”) Introduce urgency (“60‑day clock”) Introduce exclusivity (“handpicked creators only”) Introduce authority (“patents filed”) Introduce inevitability (“the ambiguity is ending”) This is textbook venture‑style positioning, not an operational fact. 3. The claims collapse under basic evidentiary pressure. “Android closed testing” No APK. No Play Store listing. No developer console evidence. No screenshots. No testers confirming access. “iOS TestFlight internal testing” No build number. No TestFlight link. No Apple developer listing. No external testers. “$500 wired within 7 business days” No proof of payout. No ledger. No creator confirming receipt. No funding source disclosed. “85% of gross subscription revenue”. There is no subscription system. No pricing tiers. No billing engine. No merchant account. No Stripe/Adyen/PayPal integration. No revenue to split. “50% of net ad revenue, real-time reporting” There is no ad inventory. No ad server. No DSP. No SSP. No advertisers. No dashboard. “SHA‑256 provenance at creation” There is no ingest pipeline. No hashing service. No chain‑of‑custody system. No verification engine. No public demo. “Patents filed” Provisional patents = unexamined, unvalidated, unenforceable drafts. Anyone can file one for $60. One patent has been filed for direct review. An 18-24 month process. “Infrastructure is running.” There is no evidence of infrastructure. No uptime logs. No architecture diagrams. No API endpoints. No SDK. No documentation. No partners. “Public reporting obligation” There is no such obligation. OTC Markets does not require milestone reporting. This is invented language.was 4. The entire piece is written to distract from one fact: There is still no platform. Not a beta. Not a prototype. Not a demo. Not a screenshot. Not a creator using it. Not a single piece of content published through it. Nothing. 5. The “60‑day clock” is a psychological device, not an operational timeline. It creates: urgency inevitability pressure narrative momentum But it is not tied to any verifiable deliverable. There is no penalty for missing it. There is no oversight. There is no enforcement. There is no filing requirement. It is marketing theater. 6. The entire piece is designed to look like a whitepaper — but it’s a pitch. A real infrastructure company would show: architecture diagrams APIs SDKs uptime logs audits partners customers revenue filings This shows none of that. It shows words. Lots of them. 7. The fatal flaw Everything in this document assumes Digitalage already exists. But the market, the filings, the tape, the creators, and the evidence all show the same thing: There is no product. There is no infrastructure. There is no revenue. There is no execution.

  @sh0ckth3syst3m Vgen does that because if it happens enough times paypal will charge them more to do business. "Problem playforms" like porn already have high transaction rates from people trying to claim porn they bought was fraud. Likewise, vgen will be punished if every scammer they let on the platform got a chargeback
