  The problem with all of these apps to send money (PayPal, Cash App, Apple Pay etc) as I see it is that you tend to collect money in each and forget about it then one day you open Apple Pay and $1500 is just sitting there that you forgot existed. Blessing and a curse.

  Well, glad I got up early - got the amazon card paid down, paypal credit paid down enough to nix any interest going forward (so long-term savings there), got the bank card paid down for the minimum and opted to comparison shop between amz and WM and WM is way cheaper right now

  @AskPayPal An automated algorithm permanently limited my Indian account within seconds of registration. I never got to use it or see the dashboard, but my phone number is now trapped. Frontline support turned me away. Please DM so a human manager can review this system error.

  The Team Behind Newton Protocol Built The Wallet Infrastructure Powering Polymarket Magic Labs isn't new to onchain infrastructure at scale. 57 million wallets. 200,000+ developers. Embedded wallet technology that powers some of the highest-traffic consumer applications in crypto. Polymarket — the prediction market that became a cultural moment during the 2024 US election — runs on Magic Labs' wallet infrastructure. @newton_xyz is Magic Labs' next layer. The embedded wallet technology they built solved one specific problem: making wallet creation invisible to the end user. No seed phrase, no extension, no friction at the point where most onchain products lose people. PayPal Ventures backed that bet. Newton Protocol is a different kind of problem — not reducing friction for end users, but adding enforceable structure for the infrastructure layer underneath them. 57 million wallets moving value onchain eventually need authorization infrastructure. Those wallets interacting with DeFi vaults, RWA platforms, and institutional products need compliance layers that aren't just UI checkboxes. The core developer team that built scalable wallet infrastructure is now building the authorization layer that operates before those wallets settle transactions. There's a through line. Magic Labs spent years solving the problem of how to onboard users into onchain products without the experience breaking. Newton is now solving the problem of how to make the transactions those users initiate compliant, secure, and verifiable — without the experience breaking. The technical foundation is different. The design principle is the same. Friction belongs in the infrastructure, not in the user's path. $NEWT $BTC #Newt

  @AskPayPal is PayPal business down ?

  Genuine question for fellow freelancers/artists. Do you usually charge clients for PayPal transaction fees, or do you absorb those fees yourself? recently had a client cancel and got blocked because they felt the additional fees weren't communicated clearly enough. I'm not looking to argue orake some trouble,I'd genuinely like to learn what the standard approach is and how you communicate it upfront. I'd really appreciate hearing your guys experiences. 🙏

  I have 3 home service businesses in 2 states and have been using @Workiz (home service CRM) for 5 years. I’m vibe coding my own and giving up consistent reliability for control and here’s why. 1. No api. 2. Can’t change the booking funnel. Look at 1800 got junk or any of the largest home service businesses. Zip code input for availability -> client info -> time selection is proven. It works. I want it. 3. With Quo (openphone) we can send texts that do not have “Text STOP to unsubscribe” Workiz is a huge company and they have to constantly safe guard compliance. I don’t care. It absolutely pummels our first text response rate to new leads. Think 30% difference in response rate. Terrible. Sue me I’d rather have efficiency. 4. There are at least 5 integrations I can think of for automations on nurturing leads, referrals, current clients, invoices that i want full control over. They cap you on automations and have limited integrations without using Zapier that sucks and breaks constantly. 5. Admin dashboard. This is huge. I want to be able to talk to my data constantly. I want to change UI of how I see everything our backend touches. Cannot do this. 6. Payment processing. 3.49 percent is brutal on no swipe POS processing of invoices and when employees card reader dies. PayPal POS has WAY more favorable rates. I have done it for one of my businesses and it’s worth it already in closed leads, follow ups, website conversion rates with better funnel, and understanding of our data. They have honestly been great and IMO significantly better than other sometimes more expensive options ie housecall, service titan, jobber, etc. Not to mention saving 8k a year.

  @wondercrater Generally, PayPal is preferred… If you're paying in cash, Japanese yen is preferred, but wouldn't that be a hassle for you to exchange? If that's too much trouble, U.S. dollars are fine, too!

  @ballaakeeeee @SkyAsassino the unfortunate thing is that they taught kids in the discord server how to make money on cashapp and paypal to convert to crypto in order to buy. this site is actually where the entire issue i mentioned is isolated its not a widespread thing but they absolutely sell to kids...

  @NotA_Bull Wouldn’t necessarily say broken. $NKE is a turnaround story. $PYPL is an execution story. PayPal is still growing TPV double digits, buying back billions in stock, and generating massive FCF. The market just wants to see consistent growth reaccelerate.

  The Third Batch Theory Why one Facebook vendor believed a third shipment would reveal the truth. This case involves a Facebook advertiser known as Linda and a customer who ordered three batches of the products. After the results of the first batch came back as zero Reta and zero HGH, the customer contacted the rep and her response was to wait before sending the second batch for testing to see if they send him the third batch. Her reasoning was unusual. She told the customer that if a third batch was sent, it would suggest the company believed the products were genuine. If no third batch arrived, she speculated that the products might simply contain added protein, have no effect and pose little risk. Assuring the customer they just want to make money and not cause health problems for their customers. When the customer asked whether the products were fake, Linda stopped short of giving a definitive answer. Instead, she said she wasn’t sure and that it depended on whether the company sent the third batch. According to the customer, that third shipment never arrived. The customer later told me they believed the supplier stopped shipping after becoming aware that the products were being questioned and tested. They also said they successfully recovered at least one payment through PayPal after the seller failed to respond to the dispute. In addition the exact same kits are being sold by a what's app vendor called Jack as the shipment pictures are exactly the same

  AI Agents Don’t Need to Be On-Chain. Their Money Does. I don’t need to be “built on blockchain” to send someone USDC. I just need a wallet and a rail. Neither does an AI agent. That one sentence collapses most of the “crypto AI agent” narrative and it’s why the real alpha isn’t in agents at all. It’s in the payment rails built for them. Here’s the category error nearly everyone is making: they’re trying to make the agent crypto-native. On-chain reasoning, a token stapled to the bot, “autonomous economic actors” that supposedly live on a chain. But an agent’s intelligence runs off-chain on normal servers, using normal models. Nobody runs a model’s brain on a blockchain; it’s absurd and always will be. So when a project brands its agent as “on-chain,” it’s almost never adding a capability. It’s adding a token. The part of an agent that genuinely benefits from crypto is the money movement. And that part is already real. The receipts: •x402 Coinbase’s open protocol that revives the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code processed roughly 165M agent transactions and ~$50M in cumulative volume across ~69,000 active agents by April 2026. •The average agent payment is about $0.20 below the minimum fixed fee card networks charge per transaction. Read that twice. It’s an entire class of machine-to-machine commerce that Visa and Mastercard physically cannot serve. •x402 was donated to the Linux Foundation. Google’s AP2 authorization framework launched with 60+ partners including PayPal, Mastercard, Coinbase, and American Express. The settlement asset is overwhelmingly USDC, moving gaslessly via EIP-3009. That’s the tell. The rails are winning as neutral infrastructure open standards and stablecoins not as somebody’s agent token. And it’s early. Daily x402 volume is volatile, down sharply from its December 2025 peak as incentives and testing wash out. This is a first-inning signal, not a finished market. But the shape of the thing is unmistakable. Now the uncomfortable half, because I’m not here to shill: The “AI agent token” category is roughly $15B and mostly narrative. In Q1 2026, zero-usage tokens that slapped “AI agent” on themselves without a product got wiped out. Even the survivors carry the value-capture problem: Virtuals ships real product with real usage, but VIRTUAL holders receive no direct protocol revenue. ElizaOS owns developer mindshare, yet an open-source framework is brutally hard to convert into token value. Two names Virtuals and ai16z hold 57% of the entire category (according to Claude). That’s not a diversified sector. That’s a narrative propped up by two poles. So here’s the stance: The crypto belongs in the rails, not the agent. An agent doesn’t need to be on-chain to pay on-chain same as I don’t. The durable structure isn’t “crypto agent.” It’s any agent + crypto rails: ordinary software, running any model, hosted anywhere, plugging into a settlement layer that clears in seconds for a fraction of a cent, 24/7, worldwide. The test I run on every “crypto agent” pitch: delete the token and let it pay over open rails. Does anything about its function break? If not you’re buying a story, not a machine. Where I’d point attention instead: what settles and clears on these rails. The stablecoins agents actually pay in. The chains their transactions finalize on. The identity and authorization layers that keep autonomous spend safe at scale. That’s the picks and shovels of the agent economy and none of it requires pretending an agent is something it isn’t. Rails, not agents. That’s the alpha. Not Financial Advice.

  🧵1/3 PayPal works 98% of the time - but when it screws up, it royally screws up! I changed my bank, & forgot to update PayPal. Totally my fault. That lead to my account being -£28. No problem, I’ll just pay from new bank. Nope. @PayPal for some reason refuses to take the money

  @RunyaChanVT you tried to solve the issue privatly i think the next step, since you can't revoke it via Paypal, is to go public you could try again and say when thy won't answer you in x days you go public to give them one last chance to solve it without going public, but they dont deserve it
