  @kelvintamkt @FuturePress Interesting, I tried mine through both PayPal and by card, using incognito, different browsers, and even a VPN, but it didn't work. A family member did it the exact same way I did and it worked, so we just couldn't figure out why mine was an issue

  @LastManBalling @marlowxbt Flaws in this plan: - Scraping Google Maps violates ToS and risks bans/legal issues; cold emails often hit spam filters and violate CAN-SPAM rules. - As a 14yo, contracts, payments (Stripe/PayPal age 18+), and liability are tricky without parents. - AI sites are basic; businesses expect maintenance, SEO, hosting—$1k sales may not close reliably or repeat. - Easy to copy, so leads dry up fast; 3% response is optimistic. Solutions: Partner with parents for legal setup/LLC. Manually search instead of scrape. Offer maintenance packages for recurring revenue. Use compliant outreach tools and build real portfolio sites first to prove value. Test 10 calls before scaling.

  @Uzwzp63636 @AdamAtlas @jevgenijs Even if PayPal is acquired as a whole (via stock purchase), the shared state money transmitter licenses aren't automatically transferable. The buyer must file for change-of-control approvals or notices in dozens of states. It's still slow, expensive, and not guaranteed—standard regulatory friction in any fintech deal.

  Most of the "low conversion rate" problem isn't in the funnel, but in the checkout. Customers want Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, platforms that are convenient and they trust. Most processors checkout is absolute garbage. We integrate with native Shopify checkout and many others. DM us.

  @karomancer That's the current problem with social media. Hard to tell if a person is an actual person, a scammer or a bot. That's why more people are reliant on middleman services because scammers want to do business directly through services like paypal compared to gumroad or shopify.

  When Musk has 200 billion, he doesn't consume it-he allocates it. SpaceX/Starlink/Neuralink/xAI. Every dollar is bet on the future. He has a track record PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX. He knows how to spot massive problems and allocate resources to them with spectacular returns

  @MissNikkiNY This statement is very incorrect thousands of persons purchase daily. For the said event tickets are selling seamlessly..... This was not a frontline issue. Paypal also confirmed same... as you were advised. Also just to note frontline or no platform can access YOUR email.....

  Visa. Mastercard. Stripe. PayPal. Shopify. These are not crypto startups. They are the rails the global economy runs on. Combined, they process trillions of dollars annually across hundreds of millions of users and merchants. Every single one of them is moving to stablecoins. Not as a pilot. Not as a press release. As infrastructure. Visa has integrated stablecoins directly into its settlement layer. Issuers can now settle obligations in USDC rather than via ACH or wire. 24/7 settlement. No weekend liquidity gaps. By late 2025, Visa was processing $3.5 billion in annualized stablecoin settlement volume. Mastercard linked stablecoin-funded wallets to its card network. PayPal launched its own stablecoin. Stripe built stablecoin financial accounts for businesses across 100 countries and acquired Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure platform, for $1.1 billion. Shopify enabled USDC payments for merchants with no foreign transaction fees. Six in ten Fortune 500 executives are now developing blockchain initiatives. This is not ideology. It is procurement. But settlement speed and FX efficiency are only the first layer. The more significant opportunity sits in what happens to money between the moment it is earned and the moment it is spent. In the legacy system, that float earns nothing. It sits in a payroll account, a platform wallet, or a bank balance with zero yield attached. Yield-to-Pay changes that equation. Stablecoin rails allow idle balances to be routed into yield-bearing positions automatically, at the infrastructure layer, before payout. The worker earns on the float. The merchant earns on the float. The platform earns on the float. No action required from any of them. This is not a feature. It is a structural shift in how payment infrastructure creates value. Every dollar in transit becomes a productive asset rather than a dormant one. The reason every major platform is moving is the same in every case. Legacy rails were built for domestic transactions, business-day settlement windows, and single-currency payroll. Stablecoin rails solve the problem that actually exists. Instant settlement. No FX leakage. Yield on every dollar in motion. When Visa moves, it is not a signal that crypto is going mainstream. It is a signal that the old infrastructure lost the cost argument. And the yield argument. And the speed argument.

  @Rehan77536607 Probably the PayPal game where id take control remotely of his laptop while both on videochat, he'd sign into PP & then go to the end of his apt & when I gave the command he'd have to run to the laptop & shut it down before I sent myself money. Id always win.

  @GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

  @theRealEsthero @PayPal Stripe is a good alternative as PayPal has terrible fraud protection or just glitchy overall.

  @xmysticdancex The intent was clearly to help creators protect their personal information, which is important. The issue is that the original post framed it like “switch to a business account to hide your info,” but did not explain what using a business account actually means. A PayPal Business account is not just a privacy toggle. It is meant for people receiving business payments, invoicing, selling goods/services, taking commissions, etc. There can be tax, verification, recordkeeping, and account-setting implications. OP only clarify much later her error, but some people might not see that (since its not in the original post). That is why I wanted to add the warning respectfully.

  @brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.

  @cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness
