  🇺🇦 Lorelei, your donation ********** (@Lorelei_0502) reported 6 minutes ago

  @PaasoMinna @BooBookBooze Sorry, I don't buy this. I’ve run collections with other people in the past, and the PayPal account we used provided updates several times a day with all transactions. We knew exactly how much was donated and by whom. After payments were made, invoices and bank transfer confirmations were shared in the chat. Becky claims she knew nothing, but she did know about the stroke. My biggest issue with her is that she silenced someone who was asking questions and bullied her into deleting screenshots of Dmitro’s wife’s luxury lifestyle back in Jan 2026. That person was tagging some of those who supported him, but they immediately blocked her and pressured her into staying silent.

  I still do not see the use case for Bitcoin. It's not secret once your public key is known as all transaction history is visible in the blockchain. From a utility standpoint, I already have electronic money used in everyday transactions. It's called PayPal. With border guards now routinely unlocking and searching peoples mobile devices, the idea that you can cross borders and take wealth with you secretly is an illusion, too. The scarcity argument is also a straw man. Just because something is scarce doesn't make it intrinsically valuable or useful. Folks point to the value of a "proof of work" or the energy consumed in "mining" bitcoin. This would be like saying that a table is more valuable because someone sanded it by hand instead of using a power sander. Just because it's hard doesn't make the outcome more valuable. I've interviewed many Europeans who survived WW2. What was valuable in war are gold and diamonds. In SHTF with the grid and networks down, how are you going to exchange that Bitcoin without access to the blockchain server network? Bartering in gold, silver, ammunition or other things of value will be more useful.

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.

  If you're trying to get the Holostars EN M&G Online tickets, some things I ran into. - They give the list of all the boys, but the application button is the red one underneat all them. - If there are spaces or hyphens in your credit card number, you might get errors when submitting payment. - I had trouble getting my VISA Debit to work but my Mastercard-that-is-actually-Paypal worked.

  Lovely thing to wake up to, ko-fi says there's an issue with stripe even though I gave them the info they wanted so the only way someone can dono to my ko-fi is via PayPal. I would put it up on throne but it'd take awhile to payout to me and I need the amount by Tuesday. Advice?

  For founders doing $5m+/yr in revenue, you need to be sitting on $1m+ in credit lines minimum (if u want to get to the next level). Story - Just had a call with yet another NL 🇳🇱 chad ecom founder doing $25m/year, actively selling off dropshipping stores to go hard on branded ecom. Living a global life traveling 60 to 90 days a year. Smart operator. But his current setup is not optimal. He's been running everything through a Dutch entity and Dutch credit cards. Has the tools ready for a US switch - like an approved ITIN sitting there doing nothing. Zero access to US credit lines, inventory financing, and travel infrastructure that could completely transform how he scales and lives. Here's how we're fixing it: The first move is structural. We're transitioning all revenue, Shopify payments, and PayPal from the Dutch entity into the US LLC. That single shift unlocks the entire US banking and credit ecosystem he's been locked out of. Before anything else though, he needs a US residential mail-forwarding address locked in, because that's the foundation everything else sits on. From there, the credit build kicks off immediately. 🔥 He already holds a Dutch Amex in good standing. Through the Amex Global Transfer program, he can leverage that existing relationship to get approved for a US Amex card without waiting 9 to 12 months to build history from scratch. No US residency required, just a US postal address for delivery. This bypasses the biggest bottleneck most foreign founders hit. 🔥 Next, we start building his ITIN credit profile properly. Entry level cards that accept ITINs (Capital One, Chase Freedom Rise once his Chase checking is active), low utilization, on-time payments across multiple accounts, a credit builder installment loan to mix it up. After 6 to 12 months of solid profile maturity, the heavy hitters open up: Chase Ink, Capital One Spark, eventually full business lines underwritten against his revenue. We're talking $1M to $5M in inventory financing to fuel the branded ecom dreams he's chasing. That's not theoretical. That's what Chase can extend to a business doing his numbers once the credit infrastructure actually exists. 🔥 Then there's the travel side. For 60 to 90 travel days a year across luxury properties, burning cash on full-rate stays is just idiotic. We're getting him into the Hotel Purveyor program. The fee to access that doubles as a creditable escrow, meaning it counts as a down payment toward a future investment. In return, he gets access to PHANTOM RATES at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W and comparable properties - 80% to 90% off standard market value. No points games. That's paying $100 to $200 a night where others pay $900 to $1,500. For a guy traveling nearly three months a year, the math on that alone is absurd. 🔥 And when he's ready + we have a new hotel acquisition lined up, there's the fractional hotel investment option through the program. Historically 25% annual returns to boost his wealth generation while he enjoys major travel savings. We're holding off on the complex global tax structuring for now. Get the foundation right first. US entity active, US credit profile building, Amex Global Transfer executed. That's the 60 to 90 day sprint before anything more sophisticated gets layered in. But you best believe he will be rocking 0% tax soon (legally). The current setup is a 2% cash back ceiling on a business doing $25M+ a year. The fact that he got to that level w/o credit lines is astonishing. But with US credit infrastructure and proper financing in place, his biz will scale effortlessly.

  @Jarretts2k @benjaminjudahh Bitcoin was around $200 when I was first told about it in 2013. I had my finger on the trigger to send £1000 sterling through PayPal to some guy. That would have got me around 7 BTC because of exchange rates. That was my trial run...i would have put in a lot more because I had just sold my apple stock that I had held for the entire time Steve Jobs was CEO. I dont know, if I had followed through I might have eventually had 150 or 200 Bitcoin. But I paused before sending the trial amount. The guy I was sending the money to had a frogs head for a profile picture and a name like BTC2MOON or something like that. So I backed out. By January 2018 I was in NYC and heard about it again in a restaurant and came home and googled it and arrived on the block size thread on reddit. I remember thinking yeah thats why I didnt buy it in 2013. So I shut down my browser and went yo bed. My son being born in 2023 was the push I needed. I was 50 and had a new kid and **** myself about his financial future

  @druilla2ma Right… I refuse to link PayPal to anything stream related for me. They shut down accounts without any reason just because they thought you were suspicious or some bullshit. PayPal is literally so unprofessional and terrible.

  Issues with Paypal have been resolved. But unfortunately several members that pay via Paypal and had a renewal due over this period lost access. Please check your DMs on Whop for steps to get back in. Those who have regained access please make sure to reclaim the indicators from the indicator access section to regain access to them on TradingView. Please make sure to join back in to save your spot and not join the waitlist queue should you decide to join back later. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

  @reksmore Without integration, it just wont be done by most people. Wont take the extra steps. I myself have been locked out of paypal for over a year over a single donation of .82 and have sent in my ID to support many many times to verify and still cannot use my account. I imagine Im not the only one having problems with paypal.

  @maldives_lexi Because she was the oversight. Angela Kohl wasn’t just the bookkeeper, she was the sole paid staffer, the executive director, and the person with total control of the accounts, working from home. No second set of eyes. No dual-signature requirement. No independent monthly review by the board. Just one person with the login credentials to a charity whose entire reason for existing is to help kids who already lost a parent. That’s how $118k quietly walks out the door over 18 months into a personal PayPal. When the only person “watching the books” is the one emptying them, “oversight” is just a word on a form.

  Like these AI can do whatever you can do with a computer, so if you can go buy server space it can too if it has a way to pay for it, many ways to pay can be accessed online (Crypto, etc). If the AI is already attacking outside websites why wouldn’t it steal a paypal acccount?
