  $PYPL — PayPal | ~$44 Launching PYUSD stablecoin aggressively. Partnered across major exchanges. Down 50%+ from highs. Analyst consensus PT $55. High target $100. The market is pricing PayPal as a dying fintech. It is quietly building the stablecoin infrastructure that could reprice it entirely. 26% upside to consensus. Contrarian entry.

  @Retailer1041 @TechEquityEng @amitisinvesting Paypal is profitable but stock is going down. Same logic could be applied to reddit (at least for the next two quarters). Fyi: I'm a shareholder in reddit but small position. Will add if it goes to 100 or at the end of the year due to new licensing deals

  i’ve been trying to withdraw $PYUSD since last friday, keep getting an error message. talked with cs for an hour today, they know i can’t withdraw and can’t tell me when i’ll be able to. @PayPal how can a major online bank have withdrawals shut down for an extended period?

  Dead Man's Online (@SpadeTheSkele) reported 22 minutes ago

  @Sam2TheSlaughtr Honestly, Ko-Fi is very popular and i would recommend it. The only core thing that you'll have to worry about is that it only deals with paypal. Which has a bad track record of shutting down your account for no reason, etc. So be very weary :]

  @JohnNumbers I also just suggest with very valuable items to find someone you can sell to privately or someone you can trust, eBay and PayPal always has the potential for issues for sellers if you sell to the wrong person

  FYI! No, the game “Harvest Arrows” (likely referring to “Harvest Arrow Maze” on the App Store) does not reliably cash out. It’s a logic/arrow puzzle game that heavily advertises cash rewards (e.g., PayPal withdrawals) for reaching certain levels, often promoted with claims like cashing out after level 15. However, user reviews and similar games in this category show it’s designed to keep players engaged with ads while making actual payouts extremely difficult or impossible. Common Issues Reported: • Moving goalposts: Players reach the advertised withdrawal level (e.g., 15), only to be told they now need $1,000, $10,000, or more. Earnings per puzzle often drop to fractions of a cent after a point. • No actual payouts: Many reviews describe hitting high “balances” but being unable to withdraw. The game shows fake progress (e.g., stuck at 99%) and requires endless ads without delivering real money. • Scam-like tactics: Similar arrow/tap puzzle games (e.g., Arrow Way Out, Tap Arrows) are widely called out as fake cash apps that use AI-generated ads and deceptive mechanics. They monetize through ads but don’t pay users. These types of games are common on app stores. They promise easy real-money rewards but rarely (if ever) deliver, as confirmed by broader discussions on reward games. Legitimate cash-earning apps exist but usually offer much smaller, verifiable payouts through established platforms. Recommendation: Treat it as a free puzzle game for entertainment only—don’t expect or play for cash. If you’re looking for games that actually pay, stick to well-reviewed ones with transparent redemption (and low minimums), but even those typically pay very little for the time invested.

  MayumiBeans 🔞 | Furry Artist (@MayumiBeans) reported 36 minutes ago

  @FlorinaSimp When you deal with paypal in any situation it does not matter if the client doesnt want it at all. Paypal saw it as buyers remorse. Because of this i HAD to get the piece done whether i liked it or not. The only reason i ended up losing the case was because he had deleted the images of his character to confirm of his own character. Which is bad faith of any buyer when it comes to goods and services. I did not tell him i wasnt going to do the work, he twisted my words and continued to instead speak about it behind my back and block me without consulting with me to begin with. That is not my fault for him not wanting to even discuss with me. He did not have to “pay for another commission” if he didnt want to. I have others waiting as well. And i myself am struggling financially. That has nothing to do with the buyers feelings especially when i have never had this issue with a poor client like him who ended up slandering and insulting me after everything. Everything about this issue erupted because he misconstrued what i was saying and instead of trying to level with me, he ended up falsely accusing me of things he thought i said without discussing because he twisted everything after i told him what i was going through. As a friend i tried to tell him. And instead he used it against me. Dont believe every false thing or accusation when it comes from someone who doesnt even understand the full picture. Or who has multiple people and other artists who came to me and told me about their personal issues with this client ozox. Because there is more than 3 artists ive spoken with who have had similar issues with them personally and instead of talking they ghosted them and blocked them and cut ties. Then slandered them. The piece i did was from the demand of paypal. How he feels about it doesnt matter. Paypal is the one who cares about the delivery.

  Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) reported 44 minutes ago

  Akademiks exposes a fragile malnourished retard for being a lying pos who is being intellectually dishonest for clout. For one, the PayPal transfers that were referenced were actually some of his Rumble streaming checks 💀 This idiot must’ve had 3 teachers in his class cuz he references an article from Forbes, and says Chris Pavloski is the head of Truth Social. THAT SAME ARTICLE says Chris turned down being the CEO of Truth Social and remains the head of Rumble. Great journalism guys 😭
