  @Seo_JangHara3 Paypal not lock down accounts because they feel like it challenge: impossible

  weekend thread: a brief history of the otp. 1980s, no otp. you're getting a callback from the bank. 2002, paypal mails you a paper check with two cent values to verify your account. yes really. 2007, sms otp shows up in banking. people complain it's slow. 2011, google introduces the authenticator app. nobody uses it for years. 2018, sms otp officially deemed insecure by NIST. used by everyone anyway. 2023, push otps overtake sms in some categories. sms still wins on coverage. 2026, half the apps reading this still use 4 digit codes that arrive 30 seconds late. we're not really an industry, we're a soap opera with carriers.

  @AskPayPal Hi, I can’t log in to my PayPal account because I no longer have access to my old phone number used for verification. All login codes are being sent there, so I’m locked out. I can provide my email, card details, and ID to verify ownership.

  @EggNBac0n @UnhingedFans I mean I am just trying to say "kids do dumb solutions" not trying to fully condem the child here. The only thing they seemed to have done wrong was the money thing which could GET THEM in trouble with at least PayPal! Ofc the creep should get bent.

  Unbelievable. Now @coursera is closing my new support tickets without even replying, despite their own policy and 'Cora' confirming my refund eligibility earlier. I’ve officially opened a dispute with PayPal to get my €42 back. Fix your support system. #coursera

  @Conste11ation Just wanted you to know what the "first purchase" experience was like. The first purchase was declined.. It was to buy Dag on Uphold using Paypal through Gemini. It was a mastercharge issue, not a problem with my account. However, the "customer service" person did not know what digital assets were, did not know what DAG was, did not know what Constellation was, and thought it would be fun to speak at the exact same time I was asking where could I use the card to buy digital assets. Im curious why the employees have no idea how to buy DAG or where the card works to buy $DAG? Or is Gemini just another card that you cant buy digital assets that you get back digital assets instead of cash when you use the card? Basically worthless for buying digital assets?

  The business model is pure picks and shovels. Morgan Stanley doesn't need to issue a stablecoin, hold crypto, or build a blockchain. They just need Circle, Tether, PayPal, and every new entrant to park their reserves in MSNXX. Management fees on $304B+ is the play.

  @TheJerzWay Even if they move to Turkey, they'll hear that services like PayPal, Booking, Uber, and Apple Pay either don't exist at all or are limited, and they'll come back. Rents are about $1500 in Istanbul for a standart apartment suite. There is a traffic and parking issue constantly. Food prices are higher than most of the Europe in terms of €. W*ed is also not allowed which is upset for techboy and finboys. Technology products are generally 1.5-2x price of what you paid in normal. Inflation and interest rate is about 40%-50% in terms of ₺. There is no access to hard currency credits. Also there is no such thing as zero tax. They zeroed the income taxes. You are still gonna pay VAT, periodic fees, insurance, witholding taxes whatsoever. Not everything bad of course, foods are delicious, there are cute cats everywhere but these are not enough to bring high quality foreign investors. If Turkey played its cards well, this could be happened.

  @Uber_Support on 4/24 I tried to cash out to PayPal & it ran into issues & my balance disappeared. I was sent from a live chat to a “response in 6-12 hours”. The issue hasn’t been resolved and every reply is from a different person

  @whymadoindis @TheJerzWay Bro I'm living in Turkey. Uber works limited not the same app with Europe/USA. Getir, Trendyol, Hepsiburada are equivilent of e-Bay, Amazon etc. I didn't say Turkey doesn't have e-commerce platforms. Paypal is not work in Turkey since 2016 I personally used it. It doesn't matter you liked or not, Paypal, Apple Pay etc. are necessary tool if you want a become finance center. Wise is only available tool to get and send money abroad with cheap fees I am using it. Google Pay and Apple Pay are not working in Turkey, too. Great for families - This part true, crime rates are low. All of the thing I wrote is %100 true, not %99.

  @FluentInQuality dude, i used to invest like this. you end up having your capital stuck in slow movers for years. i was stuck in paypal for years doing the same "oh they can buy back the entire company in 8 years...blah blah blah" why not look at stage 2 uptrend stocks? $mu $cohr $nvt $vrt $gev many many more. there's always new leaders carrying the market. if you look at buffett when he ran his private partnership, he was looking at microcaps and also things like GEICO which was a NEW TECHNOLOGY GROWTH company at the time. using new tech (phones) to sell insurance and growing nationally!

  @mtxpost @jackunheard That was one yep. I've been doing biz online since the late 90s. Paypal was the only way for a long time. Never had a problem. I did move to other in the past few years though. Now mostly venmo (still paypal tho) and lesser known Wave now

  @the_corvidae @Ambellina2005 What do they want the cops to do, arrest them? The most that’s going to happen is maybe PayPal will issue a refund I would love if law enforcement would question why an adult was asking a kid to draw csem tho!

  Proud mom Maye Musk on her commitment to protecting her children: “I was fortunate to have three kids who were adventurous and responsible too. Of course, as I say, Elon is just my genius boy. I remember him saying to me after PayPal was out, should he do solar or electric cars or space? And I said, 'Well, just choose one.' Well, obviously, he didn't listen to me. 98% really appreciate what he does, but those 2% that are nasty, they are out there in full force being nasty all the time. And my children have to tie me down and so does my publicist, when something nasty comes out, because I'm ready to fight.”

  🚨 JUST IN: Former PayPal CEO David Marcus just unveiled a stablecoin banking product for businesses and AI agents. Stablecoin balances. Yield. Payments. Cards. All chain-native, all behind an API. This is Banking-as-a-Service but onchain. --- Banking-as-a-Service is getting rebuilt on stablecoin rails. The old stack - Middleware (e.g. Unit / Synctera) - Galileo - FBO accounts at a sponsor bank There's now a chain-native version. - Squads Grid does it on Solana. - Bridge built it for fintechs, payroll and non banks - BVNK ships it embedded. Lightspark now joins them, with distribution into 65 countries and a Bitcoin L2 underneath. --- I keep thinking about how the "account" itself is being unbundled. What used to be a sub-ledger entry at a partner bank becomes a programmable smart account that holds dollars, settles 24/7, keeps its own yield, issues cards, and accepts agent-scoped permissions. The bank charter turns into a feature you plug in for accessing other rails. --- The agent piece is marketing, but its also more than that. Lightspark is already inside Google's AP2 protocol. As agents want to become platforms in their own right, re-sell financial services to their customers, they'd want a BaaS like thing. Why not go for something that uses stablecoins? --- Marcus has THE most fascinating back story - Former CEO of PayPal, has moved money traditionally - Behind Libra at Meta a global bank account and "stablecoin" that regulators pushed back on. Now this is a global stablecoin bank account distributed through an API, post-GENIUS Act, sold to businesses and machines. Sometimes timing is everthing. Does this compliment or commoditize BaaS over time? I expect the answer becomes obvious within 18 months.

  There's nothing I can say that will make you change your opinion on me but What's safer? Hitting the block button on a person not taking no for an answer or committing theft and further endangering yourself with the possibility of having your paypal account shut down for theft?
