  The agentic economy didn't arrive gradually. It arrived all at once. NVIDIA sized the agentic AI opportunity at $1 trillion. Google launched AP2 with over 60 partners including Mastercard, PayPal, and Visa. OpenAI and Stripe shipped an Agentic Commerce Protocol directly inside ChatGPT checkout. All of that happened within the last eighteen months. The capability side of this equation has scaled faster than anyone predicted. Agents are already booking flights, managing portfolios, signing agreements, and initiating payments without a human approving each step. The trust infrastructure hasn't moved at anywhere near the same pace. Society spent over twenty years handing data to applications through the internet. Now agents are being handed the keys to money and decisions, and the accountability layer that should have been built first is still being assembled after the fact. @Concordium's MCP server allows an agent to check, before interacting, whether its counterparty carries a verified identity and what that verification guarantees. Machine-readable accountability for machine-speed transactions. Capability scaling without trust infrastructure isn't a technical gap. It's a liability that compounds every time a new agent goes live without a verified human behind it. #Concordium #ConcordiumAmbassador

  @Rootdar This fake PayPal address scammer issue is a problem for everyone. But your PP address is one of the easiest ones to remember and to get right! 🙏 On a separate subject, I think my grandmother story and reposts got in this morning ahead of the end of the contest.

  Hello! The restriction on my PayPal account has been removed. Due to this issue, the order deadline has been extended to August 20, 11:59 PM (UTC+8 / 8:59 AM PDT / 11:59 AM EDT). Since PayPal withdrawals require a 21-day wait, if you can help ease the financial pressure, you may continue to choose Alipay for payment. Thank you for your patience!

  @thecanozer The payment access part is underrated. Getting Stripe + PayPal solves the first problem, but as the business grows I'd still avoid making either one the only payment rail. Access is step one, redundancy comes next.

  The entire world launch market was about $4 billion a year. He stood in front of Stanford students and said his rocket would fly for about $6 million a flight, against a competitor charging many times that this is Elon Musk in October 2003 – introduced as the guy from PayPal, because that is all he was SpaceX is one year old in this room. No Falcon has flown. Tesla does not exist yet as anything you would recognise he divides the whole market by the number of flights and reads the number out loud, the way you would check a bill on why the price had never come down: he says nobody had tried to build the vehicle and the engine and the avionics in one building, so every rocket carried four companies' margins no slides worth the name – a room of maybe a hundred students – a man in a black shirt who has not yet been photographed a million times this recording exists because Stanford filmed its entrepreneurship course for a teaching archive and put it out free bookmark & watch today ↓

  $PYPL - the thesis played out. It just wasn’t the PayPal I wanted. I bought this quite a long time ago because the valuation was very low versus the cash they were producing. The downside case was that if the price got ugly enough, buybacks would grind it back, or someone would make a bid. That’s what happened. The bid is not where I’d like it to be. It did recoup what I’d lost. I didn’t sell into the offer, and I didn’t double down at the bottom. There might still be talks of a higher number, and the tape has been doing well. I’m thinking about selling now, or holding a while. Waiting and hoping for a better bid is starting to feel unnecessary. This is likely not the company I want to own for a longer time. Especially with Alex Chriss gone. Checkout is still barely growing, accounts are flat, and the growth I originally thought was possible looks a lot less likely to me.

  @purplepickle743 @lifeofpkay_ Send PayPal ;) But really, it's always the same with these people. They are obviously always eating/drinking more calories, say they aren't, and then turn down any help with tracking. They have to know they're blatantly lying, no? I don't get it.

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  ⚡ REVOLUTIONIZING WEB3 ONBOARDING: HOW GASFREE ABSTRACTS GAS COMPLEXITY AND ENABLES DIRECT USDT TRANSFERS In the evolution of decentralized finance, user experience (UX) serves as the primary gateway determining whether blockchain technology achieves mainstream adoption or remains confined to technical power users. For seasoned crypto natives, managing gas fees, calculating resource consumption, and maintaining native token reserves is second nature. However, for newcomers entering the Web3 ecosystem, gas management represents the single largest point of friction, confusion, and transaction failure. The GasFree infrastructure on TRON eliminates this barrier, allowing users to settle transaction fees directly in USDT and transforming the usability of decentralized stablecoins. The fundamental problem with legacy blockchain architectures is the structural decoupling between the asset being transferred and the asset required for gas. On TRON, executing a TRC-20 stablecoin transfer requires computational resources—specifically Energy and Bandwidth. Traditionally, if an account does not hold staked resources or a balance of native TRX to burn as gas, the transfer fails instantly. For a beginner who simply received USDT in their non-custodial wallet, discovering that they cannot send or spend their funds without first purchasing TRX on a secondary exchange, undergoing identity verification, and funding their wallet is a counterintuitive and frustrating hurdle. GasFree fundamentally dismantles this onboarding barrier by abstracting network resource mechanics entirely. Through intelligent fee delegation and smart contract relayer architecture, GasFree enables users to pay transaction costs directly in the stablecoin they are transferring. Key transformative benefits of the GasFree model include: 1. Frictionless Single-Asset Simplicity: Users only need to hold USDT to make transfers. The transaction fee is deducted directly from the stablecoin balance or transaction payload, removing the need to monitor or purchase volatile native gas tokens. 2. Elimination of Failed Transactions: By removing the "insufficient TRX for gas" bottleneck, users never experience trapped funds or failed transaction errors. 3. Predictable and Transparent Costs: GasFree provides a clean, predictable transaction cost structure (typically a flat USDT fee), shielding everyday users from gas price calculations or market-driven fee volatility. 4. Seamless Web2-to-Web3 Transition: For retail shoppers, merchants, and cross-border remittance recipients, interacting with TRON-based USDT now mirrors the seamless experience of conventional fintech apps like PayPal or Venmo—pay what you send, in the currency you hold. By merging the speed and throughput of the TRON network with the seamless fee abstraction of GasFree, decentralized finance takes a decisive leap toward mass accessibility, unlocking truly inclusive digital dollar payments for millions of global users. @DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  Eddie Mitchell from @StablecoinNewss said something on Friday's Solana Circuit that's worth thinking about. We may end up in a world where payment providers look like fiat on the front, but the back end is all stablecoins. Invisible infrastructure. No consumer ever knows it's there. That's not a speculative future. Western Union is building one. PayPal already launched one. Banks that spent a decade saying this was a fad are now watching Circle step into European markets they vacated. The question isn't whether stablecoins are going to settle the next generation of institutional transactions. They are. The question is what infrastructure underneath them can actually guarantee those transactions land. That's the engineering problem that still hasn't been solved.

  Dogecoin has always had something most tokens spend years trying to buy, actual cultural distribution. Everyone knows the name, that was never the problem. The problem was always the same one @RobinhoodCrypto is solving from the other direction. Distribution without real infrastructure underneath it just sits there. House of Doge just partnered with Paxos to plug DOGE into the rails already running PayPal, Venmo, and Interactive Brokers. That’s hundreds of millions of existing users one integration away from being able to actually use it, not just recognize it. Distribution has always been the hard problem in crypto. DOGE solved that part a decade ago by accident. Whether the infrastructure catches up is the more interesting question now, same one we’re watching everywhere else.

  🚨SCAM ALERT! Scammers hacked my cousin's account & others. Facebook & other social media accounts are being HACKED, and scammers are posting stuff like their uncle is moving to a rest home and doing liquidation sales with items priced super cheap. DON'T BUY IT!!! Do not send money! Scammers will ask for down payments via Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. One of my cousin's friends did it & just lost $2000. I thought it was real, and so did my dad, and we almost sent down payments for vehicles priced very low. There were several red flags, so I started doing some checking. Sure enough, it's a common scam. People aren't careful with their Facebook or other social media account passwords, or they get phished, and their accounts get hacked; scammers then post whatever they want to get money from the hacked person's family and friends. When a person from a hacked FB page contacts you via Messenger, report the message and use the "Other" selection and choose "Hacked." I did it, and Facebook just took down my cousin's account. Be aware. This is happening RIGHT NOW. That's it! Have a great week and beware of scammers! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!! 💯💯💯🚨🚨🚨
