  Privacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain.

  @catdogcaily Paypal did something recently for me with a Vgen commission. The artist was Mexican, the charge was shown as $1,400... because Mexican pesos apparently use the dollar sign in front of the number, exactly like the U.S. does. I was concerned before I checked and figured it out.

  Break up Amazon to 3 companies. Meta to 2 companies. Spin off Space X and X from Elon other companies. PayPal and Palantir to two separate companies. Divest Ellison’s media holdings. Limit Murdoch media empire to one or two. Voila, America’s problems are solved. Democracy restored.

  @HasanEssam29636 Your fundraiser can only accept payment by paypal. That is funny because the rest of the chuffed fundraisers let you pay directly by card. I think some people like me are facing trouble with paypal and so can't donate.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal I need a number to talk to someone. This #chat feature where agents aren't AWARE of issues and customer service is frustrating.

  @ns1778 @realradec HBO doesn't take "foreign" card payments. Even with PayPal, we technically can't legally. I had to buy an account through a website and get the login. Well using a VPN but now I have both suits, so no complaints about it.

  Here’s the problem with this ad. I purchased two of these, one for me and one for my husband. I use PayPal, and the merchant came back as LUU QUANG THANH. The stuff’s not even American made. I’m going to have to cancel my order. It just feels wrong to buy a T-shirt that means so much to me and my husband only to find out it comes from from Asia. Your thoughts?

  everyone laughed at stablecoins until the banks started copying them circle launches usdc to make dollars move like crypto fast, global, always on then every fintech wakes up and realizes that's the whole game visa, paypal, coinbase, stripe all trying to bolt instant settlement onto old money rails the joke was never "crypto is fake" it was that the best parts of crypto are now the default depeg scares come and go but the idea is simple money that moves at internet speed isn't going back into slow mode

  @AskPayPal hi, I can't login to my account. Please help. I have used all options (text, whatsapp mesg, email, call) But i am unable to login. Even for chat support I need to login first, but I cant login.

  LMAO I’m sorry but people are slow. Why would someone keep $9 mil in a PayPal account!? You wouldn’t even keep that much in a standard bank account. And why would they need to borrow money from you if they had $9 mil 💀

  Every time I try to buy a flight with my VACU account it thinks it’s fraud🙄 every single time…..and then when you clear it, still doesn’t work. Terrible customer experience. It didn’t even want to do it through PayPal which usually works. They lucky I got options🫩

  PayPal just dropped crypto access in 70 new markets including Africa and now my Nigerian prince friend can finally send me Bitcoin instead of asking for my bank details in broken English

  @cryptorover PayPal is a reminder that even dominant companies can become terrible investments if expectations and valuations get too far ahead of reality.

  @Retailer1041 @TechEquityEng @amitisinvesting Paypal is profitable but stock is going down. Same logic could be applied to reddit (at least for the next two quarters). Fyi: I'm a shareholder in reddit but small position. Will add if it goes to 100 or at the end of the year due to new licensing deals

  @Awnye5 Oh my, guess I'm not following thread correctly? Did I post something that said that? Investors, Peter Thiel & Mehta (former Goldman Sack of Crap tee hee) Frank Sands (investor in Google, Apple, FB) & other paypal mafia peeps invested in it! It is a technocratic issue.

  Really disappointed with @PayPal @AskPayPal They marked my transfer from PayPal to my bank account as “completed,” but I still haven’t received the money. What makes this worse is that this has happened before — and I ended up losing the money entirely. Their support system is honestly pathetic. Calls never get picked up, there’s barely any proper way to explain the issue to a real person, and the automated support never even addresses the actual problem. This is people’s hard-earned money. Completely unacceptable experience for freelancers and creators depending on timely payments.

  @TheNewRhyme This in fact happens , last year someone sent money to one of my campaigns and then refunded it. Well some how they managed to refund it about 20 + times whatever the amount my PayPal was almost 10k- It’s a huge scam tactic Took PayPal forever to fix. Rhyme keep an eye on PayPal
