  Is it just me having this problem with @PayPal ? Historically, Ybug has been accepting EUR payments via PayPal. Back then, it seemed like a great idea with "free" withdrawals to a bank account, right? Big mistake. Turns out PayPal refuses to withdraw funds in any currency other than your company's local currency (CZK for a Czech-based company). And of course, they charge a massive currency conversion fee to do so. Since I don't want or need these funds in CZK, my money is effectively trapped. Anyone else in the same boat?

  Look at the timeline and something clicks. May 2025, Coinbase drops x402 so agents can pay per request. September 2025, Google launches AP2 with over 60 partners including Mastercard and PayPal. January 2026, ERC-8004 hits Ethereum mainnet, almost 39,000 agents register in 90 days. May 2026, @Concordium’s Agent Registry goes live. June 2026, Proof introduces x401 to handle identity proof. That's five major pieces of agent infrastructure landing across just over a year, and the gaps between them keep shrinking. Payment, identity proof, runtime management, persistent registry, verified human anchor, each one built by a different team without waiting for the others to finish first. Nobody planned one unified system. It's assembling itself in public, piece by piece, weeks apart instead of years apart. That pace alone tells you something about how seriously the industry is taking this problem right now.

  @Venmo is the worst, most useless digital wallet It blocks payments, no explanation, useless for non-profits unless linked to a volunteers personal account. Business use - a joke. All you have to do is move money. Why wouldn’t @PayPal shut it down

  In our portfolio, PayPal fell 12.7% on Friday to $53.66 after Advent and Stripe walked away. The board had rejected their $60.50 a share as too low. The shares are now 11.3% below the offer it turned down. Generac fell 6.8%.

  I DELETED 90% OF THE SERVICES ON LEGIIT Ok not deleted... but made invisible. Around 2 years ago we made a risky decision at Legiit @legiitcom You see one of the major pieces of feedback we got from people was that "there are so many services on the site I don't know which one to pick or who to buy it from" We called it the Netflix problem... so much stuff you end up overwhelmed and choose nothing. Further many of them listed their service and when the site didn't automatically reign money down on them they never checked it again. At that time we would pause those every 90 days, then reduced it to 30... but it didn't help the Netflix problem because more, mostly reptitive services would fill in from the other end. Further, around that time we made some decisions about who we wanted to be and how we wanted the marketplace portion to function and what we decided was... ...we don't want a lot of freelancers to succeed, we want the best freelancers to succeed and the rest to go elsewhere. So less quantity, higher quality. However we didn't want to shut them out completely either because we could end up missing out on new talent. So we decided to do something radical. Something risky. Something no other marketplace had done before... ...we made 90% of the services on the site invisible. They already had to meet a 55 point checklist to even get listed,, but after this change that still wasn't enough to get them into the marketplace, categories, or search. Their services would show up on their profile, but not anywhere else. It was up to them to prove to us that they deserved access to our customers by either bringing in their own customers, investing with us, using some of the tools we give them, or meeting some other criteria. The logic was basically "The ones that just want to do commodity level work won't bother to do the work, and we will be left with only the ones that are serious about running freelance buiness and doing well by our customers." I didn't want my marketplace overwhelmed with services most people won't buy, and I didn't want newer freelancers getting to practice on our customers' businesses. This was a gamble of course, and the response from freelancers was... not positive to say the least. We have at least 2 1 star Trustpilot reviews from freelancers complaining aobut it and got a lot of support tickets, usually from brand new freelancers who listed a service, immidiately searched their own services, asked or complained, then never visited the site again... so people we don't want anyway. So it's bee around 2 years now and despite the risk and the challenges I can say with certainty... ...it was a success and the right decision. The problem it set out to solve was the Netflix problem, and that largely worked. We have the same amount of customers buying more services from less freelancers... for more money. That was the goal and it worked... but there have been a lot of other side effects I didn't anticipate: > Support tickets and chats have dropped significantly (Over 50%... don't have the exact number in front of me) > The number of orders with a 5 star reivew has increased > The number of orders with a 1 star review decreased > Late deliveries dropped by 4% > Approved dipsutes... meaning disputes where we sided with the customer (on site disputes) are down to .16% of orders > Less new freelancers are signing up which may sound bad but is actually good > Less burden on our support team so it freed them up to help our customers more instead of babysitting freelancers > More on site advertising sales > More Legiit Seller+ sales (dramitcally more) > Chargeback and PayPal disputes are basically zero after being rampant before ...and our sales are up 20% YOY. So this was a gamble, and one that came with some pain, but it turned out that it was the right decision. The lesson to me from this is... decide who you want to be, and who you want your business to be... then figure out how oyu want to get there and just go for it. It might be risky. It might be painful. ...and you will second guess oyurself. But if you are operating from a place of good faith and execute relelntlessly the results will follow on a long enough time horizon as long as you... ...Think Big. Thanks everyone.

  I was invited to a server on Discord that I knew absolutely nothing about. The server is called 'Eboost', and it sells things like Discord Nitro, skins and in-game items. I’ve already purchased a one-year subscription to Discord Nitro, and as all payments are made via PayPal, it’s a server I have no use for. However, one day, the Eboost server was suddenly reported to Discord on suspicion of ‘fraud’, and my account was temporarily suspended simply because I had inadvertently joined that server. How am I to be compensated for the damage caused—such as the suspension and the flags attached to my account—by the server owner’s negligence on a server where I wasn’t even active? I’ve lodged an appeal, but Discord simply keeps repeating the same 'AI-automated-macro' response. And this isn’t the first time this has happened. Are people really expected to use Discord whilst factoring in the probability that a server owner might cause problems? It’s utterly unfair. 😡😡 @discord @discord_support @DiscordBuild

  @Aerea_caeles No, actually I don't have that message, but I know who it is because of the comms. The biggest problem that theme from the PayPal and socialmedia theft (which I never got back my PayPal, because according to PayPal I am not me) is that person blocked many people on my social media and deleted entire chats, in addition to changing the passwords and emails. So I didn't even get the full conversations and when I recovered my accounts, I could never contact them again on Twitter because I never found them to explain what happened, and they never responded to me on Instagram either. Obviously, I contacted as many people as I could.
