  @TheeDegenBoosts @rebetapp That’s why I NEVER leave my money anywhere where it isn’t insured by the FDIC/SIPC. Not PayPal, Venmo, or a gambling site. Youre just asking for trouble. Sucks how these companies operate

  Freelancers are losing weekends to a spreadsheet, a shoebox, and a prayer. Built Tallyward to fix that. A 24/7 autonomous bookkeeping agent that categorizes transactions, chases overdue invoices, and reconciles Stripe, PayPal, and marketplace payouts — then drops a clean P&L in

  Elon Musk's best friend staged an intervention to stop him from starting SpaceX. Adeo Ressi had known him since college. When Elon said he was going to spend his PayPal fortune building rockets, Ressi did what any good friend would do. He compiled a video montage of rockets exploding. Every famous launch failure in history, cut together into one film of fireballs, and he sat Elon down and made him watch it. The message was simple. This is what happens to rockets. This is what will happen to your money. Nations with unlimited budgets fail at this. You are one man. Friends flew in. They took turns explaining why this was insane. The aerospace industry agreed with them. Everyone who loved him and everyone who understood rockets said the same word. Don't. Elon watched the entire video. Thanked his best friend. And started SpaceX anyway. Here's the part nobody talks about. Ressi wasn't wrong. The first rocket exploded. The second exploded. The third exploded, exactly like the montage predicted. Elon lost almost everything, exactly as warned. Then the fourth one reached orbit and everything the video predicted became the reason the story is legendary. The people who love you will always show you the explosion reel. They're not lying. The explosions are real. What they can't show you is the launch after the last explosion, because that footage doesn't exist yet. You have to film it yourself.

  $PYPL takeover talks never actually died. WSJ reports the Stripe-Advent consortium is still circling after PayPal turned down its 60.50-a-share offer in July — roughly 53B, backed by about 50B of committed bank financing. Turning down a bid and ending a deal turned out to be two different things.

  Facebook market place reselling flip this week: $1500 - buy price $2700 - sell price $1200 - net profit Dell Poweredge Server R730xd w/ 768GB RAM (24x32GB) When I saw this post to fb I had to get the exact RAM config right away. Seller was fast and once I had the exact specs I text a pic to my memory buyer. He came back with a $100 per module. Right away I knew I could spend $1500 and get $2400 on the RAM. I offer $1200 on the server. Saw that the seller had seen the message but no response. Waited two hours but didn't want to loose the sale. Offered asking price and arranged to meet that evening. Ate a little on paypal fees for the $2400 but the buyer covers the minimal shipping charge. Will sell the server on fb marketplace for around $300. Quick flip. Electronics aren't the easiest resell but if you know what you're looking at then there can be a lot of upside. Definitely not a resale asset class to sleep on.

  @bernarditoro_ You can fix product perception by building a product to global standards. Why should I target Nigerians for a SaaS aimed at solving a global problem when I can use Flutterwave for USD checkout or recurring plans? It even has a Pay with PayPal feature bro.

  Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

  company names are actually very predictive of future failure or success peter thiel has a surprisingly strong take on this: « paypal was a very friendly name, it was the friend that helps you pay. napster was a bad name, you nap some music, you nap a kid. that sounds like a bad thing to be doing, and it's no wonder the government then comes in and shuts the company down within a few years. » « facebook sounds like learning about real people, so it dominated myspace which sounded like fake personas. » « airbnb sounds like an innocent bed & breakfast, while uber sounds "like a bad name from germany sometime in the 1930s. » naming feels like one of those decisions that gets surprisingly little attention given how long it sticks around

  ⚡ REVOLUTIONIZING WEB3 ONBOARDING: HOW GASFREE ABSTRACTS GAS COMPLEXITY AND ENABLES DIRECT USDT TRANSFERS In the evolution of decentralized finance, user experience (UX) serves as the primary gateway determining whether blockchain technology achieves mainstream adoption or remains confined to technical power users. For seasoned crypto natives, managing gas fees, calculating resource consumption, and maintaining native token reserves is second nature. However, for newcomers entering the Web3 ecosystem, gas management represents the single largest point of friction, confusion, and transaction failure. The GasFree infrastructure on TRON eliminates this barrier, allowing users to settle transaction fees directly in USDT and transforming the usability of decentralized stablecoins. The fundamental problem with legacy blockchain architectures is the structural decoupling between the asset being transferred and the asset required for gas. On TRON, executing a TRC-20 stablecoin transfer requires computational resources—specifically Energy and Bandwidth. Traditionally, if an account does not hold staked resources or a balance of native TRX to burn as gas, the transfer fails instantly. For a beginner who simply received USDT in their non-custodial wallet, discovering that they cannot send or spend their funds without first purchasing TRX on a secondary exchange, undergoing identity verification, and funding their wallet is a counterintuitive and frustrating hurdle. GasFree fundamentally dismantles this onboarding barrier by abstracting network resource mechanics entirely. Through intelligent fee delegation and smart contract relayer architecture, GasFree enables users to pay transaction costs directly in the stablecoin they are transferring. Key transformative benefits of the GasFree model include: 1. Frictionless Single-Asset Simplicity: Users only need to hold USDT to make transfers. The transaction fee is deducted directly from the stablecoin balance or transaction payload, removing the need to monitor or purchase volatile native gas tokens. 2. Elimination of Failed Transactions: By removing the "insufficient TRX for gas" bottleneck, users never experience trapped funds or failed transaction errors. 3. Predictable and Transparent Costs: GasFree provides a clean, predictable transaction cost structure (typically a flat USDT fee), shielding everyday users from gas price calculations or market-driven fee volatility. 4. Seamless Web2-to-Web3 Transition: For retail shoppers, merchants, and cross-border remittance recipients, interacting with TRON-based USDT now mirrors the seamless experience of conventional fintech apps like PayPal or Venmo—pay what you send, in the currency you hold. By merging the speed and throughput of the TRON network with the seamless fee abstraction of GasFree, decentralized finance takes a decisive leap toward mass accessibility, unlocking truly inclusive digital dollar payments for millions of global users. @DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

  @Tyler_Plummer @alexisohanian @altxyzofficial Have thought a lot about this. A few people have tried it on smaller scale - I think it would have to come from REIND/YC/TBPN or similar to get enough buy in from the people on the cards. even then, very little overlap with the average card collector and people who care about startups and venture. Pre-seed raises akin to rookie cards, companies to teams, limited signed runs, original merch swatches on cards. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on a lot of the cards that would be worth something. Examples: SBF FTX seed round, Palmer Luckey Oculus, Elon PayPal would all have to be retroactively created and would be far less desirable than if they were made at the time. Last issue with it - there’s not a definable number of startups each year. Drawing the line on who gets a card and who doesn’t is hard without defined teams and rosters like they have for sports. Lots of companies and founders go under the radar before they’re common knowledge and would not even have rookie card equivalents because the card company wouldn’t know about them at the time of inception.

  Every week I see artists make tweets about PayPal suspending accounts. Make a business account. Seriously, I've survived disputes and refunds solely because I have a business account. Of course you'll get in trouble if you're caught doing business on a personal account like??
