  my grandma has been lying about not knowing how to use her phone for THREE YEARS. every time we visited she'd hand it to me like a helpless baby and say "sweetheart i don't understand this thing." i'd fix whatever and feel like a good grandson. last month my cousin caught her on a facebook live selling handmade quilts to 847 people with ring lighting and a PayPal link in the comments. she has a whole persona. her name is "Grandma Betty Stitches" and she has more followers than me. she looked at my cousin and said "don't tell the boys, they like feeling useful."

  @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.

  Everyone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

  She wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

  My biggest problem wasn't analytics. It was integration. Stripe still isn't available in my country, unfortunately. Most of my businesses run on WordPress with local payment gateways, PayPal, WooCommerce, FluentCart, and Easy Digital Downloads. The analytics tools I used weren't built around that setup.

  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.

  Drew Mia Winters as a mannequin laying on the basement table faceup. I also posted this as a product (a print) on my website, but the shop section isnt loading when I click on it as I write this. Maybe my site's shop section cant handle the load its getting?! Whatever, but thanks for looking. I think if people would eventually be interested in buying a few prints from me, I'd just ask them for their order and send them an invoice through paypal and do it that way. I don't understand why the websites I make keep getting problems. ughh

  @codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  @NoLimitGains PayPal’s stock is at the same price it was in 2016. Revenue is up 207%. Profit is up 271%. Everyone reads that and assumes the stock is cheap. The market is saying something different. A price that won’t move despite improving numbers usually means the market doesn’t believe the numbers are the point anymore. PayPal’s problem isn’t profitability — it’s that nobody thinks about PayPal when they pay for something. Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo. The business got bigger while the brand got quieter. Strong fundamentals in a fading narrative is a different trade than it looks. #Stocks #Markets

  BREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

  VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reported 50 minutes ago

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

  Elon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is 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 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 Dollar 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. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.
