Let me connect you with the right support to assist you further." but cannot actually connect me with anything. (2/3)

Keri Dugan (@keridugan1) reported@AskPayPal Hi, You have now left me on hold for 20 minutes and I get you are trying to wear me down so I will hang up, but I will not. Is there anyone actually working there who can help? I will not chat with a bot again. I need a live person to fix this. please advise.

🔞𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 (6/10) (@Maniac_Sinner00) reportedI don't like telling my personal problems in the internet but today is pushing me to the edge yet again. For the past 2 weeks, I see my folks fighting back n forth and I try to distract on myself with labor work but I couldn't take it anymore. I crashed out for the 4th or 5th time this week. All I wanna do is commissions but I was always pulled over things that doesn't serve me than BUT FOR THEM. I had a huge *** argument and it was very verbal then it became physical. Honestly, Who the hell can function like this? I'm done pretending that everything in home is okay, plus I'm planning to run off temporarily. I want to have peace of mind. As much as I don't wanna beg in Twitter, I feel ashamed and embarrassed... So if you're kind enough, Please donate on my PayPal or Gcash, Anything helps.. I can't stop crying while I'm typing this, I feel utterly pathetic

J M O (@muse_mule) reported@Ally_Sammarco Sweetie, if the states didn’t allow billions in fraud, SNAP wouldn’t have had any issues. Because it would have been used as it was created and intended. Not for lazy people who think they can support multiple kids using assistance while feeding them crap to keep them sick for a lifetime. But yes, the man who owns the platform you’re crying on, which you likely accept electronic fund “donations” through a PayPal or Zelle type program (which only exists because Elon and PayPal) from people may drive EVs (whose technology was advanced by Elon) to homes being powered by solar panels (another industry that advanced faster due to Elon’s involvement). And now those people are going online and buying a product from a vendor on the other side of the world who never had access to the internet but now has Starlink. Which will only become bigger since the rockets, designed and produced by Elon, that take the satellites into orbit can now be reused- saving a ton of time, resources, and money. But let us know how Elon messed with the Doritos in the SNAP program again

comicranch (@comicranch99430) reported@PayPal The fact that you have a link for help but the WORST Customer Service is beyond comical, your service blocks and restricts accounts on simple transcribe but allows 1000's of purchases with no limitations, trying to resolve issues is useless with this service

RetiredLife (@RetiredLifeNC) reported@QualCompounders @ironted21 Netflix, Adobe, PayPal; that’s that rookie hate. Soft hate; people aren’t protesting and threatening to kill the ceo, it’s not that top tier “buy all you ******* can” hate even down here.

simonbec123 (@sjb987654321) reported@FrostyFinances I'm assuming your reasoning is the stock price went down? If you can find any signs of disruption in the numbers, I'd love to see it... The PayPal comparison doesn't really work because we're seeing margin erosion and big guidance cuts, nothing of the sort for $ADBE.

State (@StalwartSt) reported@0xCryptoGreekie Yo 0x. I'll be honest. I simply don't know. It all sound great and we've been hearing potential for at least 5 years, but if it's going to happen, then what's most likely to occur is that these payment companies are likely to build it on their own. And, most of all it will require a stable coin. I do strongly believe is that it will near absolutely involve stablecoins, such as USDt & USDc. SUI and a number of networks handle stablecoins well. As odd as it may sound, these big corporations would rather operate of something clunky, that's still crypto, but something they've created and most importantly own and control. Thus, it won't be any network we're familiar with. There will be a USDv (a VISA stablecoin). There will be a USDjpm, USDgoldman, etc. PayPal has their own as does Polymarket. They operate internally. I see no chance a major corporation is going to adopt anything out there that has touched anything we know. They'll build their own. Polymarket only uses the polygon network for wager incoming and then wager settlements (if the bet wins). You can see the proceed go out of your wallet, it then goes into a digital bean counter. If the wager wins, the proceed get spit back out on clunky Polygon. The actual trading is done on servers where all the accounting and score keeping is tallied and resolved on a digital ledger. This is probably the model for trading someday, except they build their own internal crypto network. If they even need it, which they probably don't. Right now, the Visa, MC & AmEx network operates just the way they want it to operate, and it's going to take over 50 years to grind into those market structures. Moreover, we haven't even got to the legal complication of how credit cards make their money w/r/t fees and fraud, charge backs, etc. It may cost them a lot, but they have an immense edge they will never give up because the merchant and customers end up paying in the end. As for high finance, it's the same thing. For SWIFT, it will likely be something the US builds that will integrate with what others CBs have. Probably swapping USDt & USDc. The problem is: these need to be hidden. High finance is not open to disclosure, and legally they don't have to. NYSE & Nasdaq. Same thing. They will build their own and integrate the endpoints which connect to a stable coin somewhere. I see no current decentralized network (eth sol sui btc kas, or any current L1) that a major Fortune 500 company is going to adopt and use. They will not relinquish centralization on a broad scale. There may be a few small cases. I do know that Kadena was tested for JPMorgan and it didn't work. It was passed on. Now Kadena is officially dead. I'm not optimistic. We've heard it all before, but I take it 1 year at a time.

Anish Moonka (@anishmoonka) reportedToday SpaceX went public and raised $75 billion, the most money any company has ever raised going public. In 2008, that same company had $200,000 left in the bank and one rocket launch away from shutting down for good. Elon Musk had already spent his entire fortune, $100 million from selling PayPal, on SpaceX and Tesla. Both were running out of cash. He was borrowing money from friends to pay rent and didn't own a house or anything he could sell. They had enough money for one more launch. On September 28, 2008, the fourth launch finally worked. A small team had been stationed on a remote Pacific island to run those launches. SpaceX became the first private company to ever reach space, and within weeks, NASA handed them a $1.6 billion contract to supply the International Space Station. The company survived. SpaceX's main rocket now launches more than 3 times a week, with a 99.8% success rate. In 2008, before any of this existed, getting one kilogram of cargo to space cost around $10,000. SpaceX brought it down to $2,500. The company now handles 85% of all American rocket launches. Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, has 8.5 million paying customers in over 100 countries and brought in $11.4 billion last year. SpaceX's first employee is throwing a 6 a.m. party today after 24 years building the company. SpaceX is now worth $1.77 trillion, larger than Tesla. 4,400 of the people who built it are becoming millionaires today, and about 400 will end up with $100 million or more. Most of this wealth sits in Brownsville, Texas, one of the poorest cities in the United States, where SpaceX employs 3,000 people at its launch facility. Many of them are welders, cafeteria workers, and hourly workers who took company stock instead of higher guaranteed wages. They stayed through the years when that stock was worth close to nothing. Today's $135 share price is 24 years of patience paying off.

Based Analyst (@TrollinNYC) reported@FindleysFinance PayPal really doesn't need much growth at all to justify buying here. If they could just grow revenue by even 5% a year, it could be a solid investment. The company is almost trading all the way down at 1x sales.

Alex Cruz (@AlexRguezz) reported@FinanceJack44 Good decision !! Some people lose a lot more money trying to swim against the waves. $ADBE is going to be another Paypal. Dead money !! Any ETF performs better than Adobe. Smart Investors shouldn’t have a stocks like that dragging down their portfolios.

Stan (@routineforbots) reportedOne of the most common mistakes in discussions about stablecoins is focusing on the technology before understanding the problem that it is trying to solve. For all the advances in technology over the past several decades, moving money across borders remains surprisingly inefficient. International payments often rely on multiple intermediaries, settlement can take several days, fees can be significant, transparency is limited, and access depends on banking infrastructure that was designed long before the internet became the foundation of global commerce (this was exactly how I discovered USDT myself 😎 ). This issue is noticeable compared to how information moves today, almost instantly and globally with very little friction. Money, however, still largely depends on systems built around banks, correspondent banking relationships, business hours and jurisdictional boundaries. Stablecoins emerged as an attempt to address this gap by combining the stability of traditional currencies with a digital infrastructure that allows value to move more efficiently. And they are not trying to replace existing currencies. The most successful stablecoins are denominated in the same currencies that already dominate the global financial system, primarily U.S. dollar and Euro. Their value is not in creating a new unit of account, but in creating a different way for that unit of account to move through the digital economy with low fees, global coverage and instant execution. This distinction helps explain why stablecoins have succeeded where many other blockchain applications did not achieve meaningful adoption. Rather than asking users to accept an entirely new monetary system, stablecoins allow them to continue using familiar currencies while benefiting from a different settlement infrastructure. Stablecoin transaction volumes have grown rapidly. According to Visa's on-chain analytics, stablecoins processed more than $24.4 trillion in transaction volume since 2019. The total stablecoin marketcap has also grown to more than $160 billion, while major issuers such as @tether and @circle now serve tens of millions of users globally. Business adoption continues to increase, and nearly every major financial institution, including J.P. Morgan, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc, is now exploring or actively developing stablecoin-related initiatives. Stablecoins are often discussed as a separate category within digital assets, while in reality they are the first successful example of tokenization at scale. For major ones, like USDT and USDC, every token represents a claim on an underlying asset held outside the blockchain. In other words, stablecoins demonstrated that tokenized representations of real-world assets could attract users, liquidity and global adoption. But the whole tokenization ecosystem is much broader than stablecoins, as we will see in the next parts of this series.

💛🩷 Montblanc | CEO Hwang (@WrenCora240809) reported@at_temp Oh no, PayPal is that slow? 😭 By any chance, do you use Wise? I've heard it's pretty popular for international transfers, and I think the money usually arrives much faster than through PayPal.

Aseem Kishore (@akishore) reported@CarsonTalkMoney I think PayPal is also a steal. Issue is how you get into these stocks. Most people see a drop and buy all at once and then bag hold. You have to DCA in and only go for shares too (options drain capital on depressed stocks IMHO). PYPL is better because it at least has a small dividend. Adobe could go down to the lower 100’s so I’m buying in bits and pieces.

Charlie (@charlie94029004) reported@LoudSolana In early 2000, shortly after buying the McLaren F1, Elon Musk was driving PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel along Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley on the way to a meeting with Sequoia Capital. When Thiel asked what the car could do, Musk replied, “Watch this,” floored the accelerator for a sharp lane change, and lost control. The powerful supercar spun out, hit an embankment, became airborne, and crashed heavily on the roadside. Miraculously, neither was seriously injured. The uninsured McLaren was badly damaged (with shattered glass, burst tires, and broken suspension), yet Musk later had it repaired at his own expense. In true startup-founder fashion, the pair then hitchhiked the rest of the way to their investor meeting.
