  @MrKimmKE Expound please. I have seen @PayPal remit $1,000 and more to users in Kenya. If you have personal issues with them, stop spoiling their good name.

  @coinbureau actually, what @BosonProtocol is building with x402B fits very closely with exactly the problems PayPal and Google Cloud were describing at Consensus Miami. $BOSON The key point is this: x402 mainly solves machine payments Boson x402B to solve machine commerce

  On $MELI Most investors see a stock down 30% and think of an opportunity. With MELI, it's more complicated than that. MELI is a buy at the right price, but we think there’s still some downside to go. This is genuinely one of the best businesses in the world. It's Amazon, PayPal, UPS, and Goldman Sachs for 650 million people, most of whom are yet to shop online. E-commerce penetration in Latin America sits at 12%. China is at ~35%. The average American makes 41 online purchases per year. The average Latin American makes just 7. The runway is generational. The fintech flywheel is extraordinary. 83M monthly active users. $19.9B in assets under management. The Mercado Pago credit card is the most used on the platform in Brazil, accounting for 50% of transactions, which occur off-app at supermarkets and gas stations. That is a primary banking relationship for people who have never had one. There are 300 million underbanked people in Latin America. MELI is their first bank. The ad business grew 73% YoY in Q1 2026, 4x the regional industry rate, at near-zero marginal cost, built on 27 years of first-party data no rival can replicate. Q1 2026 revenue was $8.85B, up 49% YoY, the fastest growth rate in almost four years. GMV reached $19B, up 42%. Fintech TPV hit $87.2B, up 50%. On the surface, extraordinary. But look underneath. EPS came in at $8.23, missing consensus forecasts by roughly 7%, the fourth consecutive earnings miss. Operating income fell 20% YoY to $611M, with margins compressing to 6.9%. Net income dropped 15.6% to $417M despite revenue growing 49%. The credit book has grown to $14.6B, up 87% YoY, and no matter what anyone says, growing a loan book this fast is not prudent. Plus, the loans business has lower-quality earnings. The pattern is consistent. Revenue accelerates. Profits disappoint. Management guides for more investment ahead. The 30% drawdown has priced in some of the bad news. Not all of it. Margin recovery remains a 2027 story at the earliest. Great company. The price is still not right. We’ll try and buy once the market capitulates (remember the market sold off Google to 18x earnings last year!).

  PayPal just froze your funds for 180 days. Ads still running. Suppliers still want payment. This is what happens when your business runs on a personal PayPal tied to your real name. The fix isn't a stealth account. It's a proper HK company with a business PayPal. DM "HK"

  @PayPal , on top of being by far the most expensive payment provider (topped only by @Klarna), you also do not offer the option to withdraw foreign currencies in anything other than our local currency (EUR). If I do want to withdraw, you force a conversion in which for about 4.000 EUR you take 150 EUR fee. Your web app being completely broken and your support useless is then the final slap in the face. Shameful.

  Which case do you want to know about first? 1. PayPal for public debanking and life destruction? 2. Ebby Halliday for 5 yr monetize defamation in DFW? 3. AUSA Scott Free Gmail Fabrication in DC? 4. Writ of Error in DC from J6? LMK.

  Hugh Telmi (@YooTellMe) reported 31 minutes ago

  @RepKeithSelf I remember that. I also remember that American financial institutions started doing the same thing, most notably PayPal. Maybe instead of stopping something that doesn't exist, you should stop the problems that do, and make all financial seizures illegal.

  @HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

  PayPal and Google just confirmed what we built years ago: AI agents need crypto rails. Multi-party custody, programmable transactions, open protocols. Not a future problem — a solved one. Good morning to everyone just figuring this out.

  @PayPal My paypal account of 18 years was permanently blocked this morning, with no reason given. Your support staff has been less than helpful. I use paypal every week for automated payments, Apple, Google play, and Ebay purchases. I have not broken your TOS.

  @SOU_BTC This is the shift from chat to execution. Claude for Small Business plugs directly into QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Google Workspace. Payroll. Invoicing. Monthly close. Ad creation. Automated. But the adoption question is harder than the technology question. A small business owner isn’t an IT department. Someone still has to connect the integrations, configure the workflows, and trust the output. And AI still makes mistakes on ambiguous tasks - a misread invoice or a wrongly categorized expense isn’t a minor bug when it’s your balance sheet. The enterprise layer solved this with dedicated implementation teams. The SMB layer doesn’t have that luxury. And there’s a harder constraint underneath the implementation problem. AI can prepare the payroll. It cannot certify it. AI can draft the invoice. It cannot legally sign it. In most jurisdictions, financial documents, tax filings, and audit reports require a certified human signature - a professional who engages their legal liability. Claude can do 80% of the work. The last 20% - the part that counts legally - still needs a human with credentials and accountability. Until AI has legal standing to certify, it’s a very powerful assistant. Not a replacement. How long before regulation catches up to the technology - and should it?

  @CRYPTOAD00 I'm sure most people would want this. The issues is, the platforms that offer freelance jobs are only limited to PayPal and skrill for some. The adoption needs to start from the guys we think are "more civilized "

  Why is it that when an African receives money, it suddenly becomes a problem for PayPal? If you don’t support us fairly, then just block the service completely instead of targeting legitimate users. My account got permanently limited after receiving only $20.

  @CryptoTice_ Same institutions that fought PayPal. Fought Venmo. Fought every financial innovation that threatened deposits. They slowed all of them down. They never stopped any of them permanently. The vote might get delayed. The direction does not change.

  Blue Dot Flu (@BlueDotFlu) reported 59 minutes ago

  @swiftieswanttix I would suggest using the invoice feature on PayPal as well. Stating the quantity, section, row, and seat numbers etc. This makes it much easier to get money refunded if there is an issue.
