  I have 3 home service businesses in 2 states and have been using @Workiz (home service CRM) for 5 years. I’m vibe coding my own and giving up consistent reliability for control and here’s why. 1. No api. 2. Can’t change the booking funnel. Look at 1800 got junk or any of the largest home service businesses. Zip code input for availability -> client info -> time selection is proven. It works. I want it. 3. With Quo (openphone) we can send texts that do not have “Text STOP to unsubscribe” Workiz is a huge company and they have to constantly safe guard compliance. I don’t care. It absolutely pummels our first text response rate to new leads. Think 30% difference in response rate. Terrible. Sue me I’d rather have efficiency. 4. There are at least 5 integrations I can think of for automations on nurturing leads, referrals, current clients, invoices that i want full control over. They cap you on automations and have limited integrations without using Zapier that sucks and breaks constantly. 5. Admin dashboard. This is huge. I want to be able to talk to my data constantly. I want to change UI of how I see everything our backend touches. Cannot do this. 6. Payment processing. 3.49 percent is brutal on no swipe POS processing of invoices and when employees card reader dies. PayPal POS has WAY more favorable rates. I have done it for one of my businesses and it’s worth it already in closed leads, follow ups, website conversion rates with better funnel, and understanding of our data. They have honestly been great and IMO significantly better than other sometimes more expensive options ie housecall, service titan, jobber, etc. Not to mention saving 8k a year.

  Elon Musk was asked what advice he'd give to his younger self. Most billionaires answer this with something about taking more risks or believing in yourself earlier. Elon said he would tell his younger self to spend less time working. The interviewer laughed. Elon didn't. He explained that the version of him that built PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla did so at a cost that he's not sure was worth paying. That there are years he doesn't remember because he was inside a factory for 100 hours a week and the days blurred into one long shift. That he missed relationships, health, and moments with his children that he can never recover. He said the tragedy isn't that he chose work. It's that he's not capable of choosing differently. That his brain is wired to see unsolved problems as emergencies and he doesn't know how to turn that off. Even knowing the cost, even regretting the cost, he would probably do the same thing again because he can't help it. That's the answer nobody wants to hear from the most successful builder alive. That the thing that made him extraordinary is the same thing that took everything else. And he'd warn his younger self about it while knowing the warning would be ignored. Some lessons can only be learned by living them. Even if you already know the answer.

  @Demura_Dusk 💯💯💯 It's disgusting how many bastards are out here filling their coffers off of the death, suffering, starvation and loss that the Palestinians have faced and are facing. Those people are the scum of all scum. Another problem with this is, they're already losing 25-35% off the top, depending on the rates at the exchange, where most of them collect their money from. Add that 20% on top, along with any other fees, like Stripe/Paypal, they are r3eceiving a very small percentage of their own funds, while having to pay exhorbtitant rates for food and daily living necessities.

  I think people are giving Phoebe Gates far less grace than they'd give almost any other first-time founder. Remember this is the same industry which is known for these dark patterns, like honey and no one here shamed the honey founders when they did it. Only a lawsuit was filed against PayPal which is the natural progression of things. Not to mention the whistleblower here was a direct competitor, Capital One so it's actually a big company bringing down a startup. Generally in such scenarios people support the startup but here it's the reverse. Its essentially that her last name has made this a much bigger story than it would have been for most founders. If Phia had been started by two unknown twenty-somethings, the conversation would probably be about a browser extension that crossed a line. Because one of the founders is Phoebe Gates, it quickly became a debate about her character. It's also easy to forget that she didn't simply inherit a company. Bill Gates didn't fund Phia. She and Sophia Kianni raised outside capital, built a team, launched a product, and convinced people to use it. Having famous parents can open doors, but it also means every mistake gets judged more harshly and every headline carries extra weight.

  If you are doing above 500k a month with ecom Listen I have had houndreds of DMs from ecom guys just like you They thought they will be safe on Shopify payments But they were not Still ran into reserves, holds, shutdowns, etc. The usual case: - multiple 8 figs processed with shopify - CB % below 0.3 % - Local manufacturing - As white hat as ecom can get But they still got betrayed Lost all the subscription tokens (some recovered via auth net plugin) Almost killing their whole business over some new behavioural program VISA came out with Now mastercard is doing the same Once it goes live (on 24th of July) There will likely be the same wave of shut downs as there was when VAMP came out What does it mean for you? You could have 0 chargebacks or 0 refunds (which no one at that scale has) And still get shutdown They are basically trying to shut stores down before they can do any damage Issue here? Behaviour monitoring in ecom mixes up BH and WH stores Because on the front end it all looks the same - pre chceked boxes - claims on landers - before and afters - tampered testimonials The list goes on That is why there where so many wrongful shutdowns when VAMP came out What can you do? Switch away from SP before they shut you down Move to a CRM and Private processing (MIDs) You would own your subscription tokens Have the native shopify checkout Yes you can still have apple/google pay and paypal Also if you didn't know Shop pay was opened up recently and CRMs are working on implementing it in their system Meaning? Soon you will also be able to have Shop Pay wihtout shopify payments If you want guidance on how to set this all up and get the connections that you don't have (heads of the biggest CRMs, ISOs, fintech companies, etc.) Feel free to send me a DM ps. I don't charge anything for this

  @NotA_Bull Wouldn’t necessarily say broken. $NKE is a turnaround story. $PYPL is an execution story. PayPal is still growing TPV double digits, buying back billions in stock, and generating massive FCF. The market just wants to see consistent growth reaccelerate.

  @GrantCardone @barkmeta How are these criminals not in jail 🤔🤔 Grant Cardone testified that Awad stole $2.6 million from him and his wife and recalled in his testimony how his wife’s friendship with Awad began, records show. Here is the current situation regarding the jail time: · The Charges: Bobbi Vargas has been charged with 19 felony counts, including theft of over $100,000, attempted money laundering, and identity theft. · The Accusation: She is accused of stealing more than $2.3 million from real estate investors Grant and Elena Cardone. The scheme allegedly involved fraudulent credit card purchases (over $450,000 on Amazon) and using a PayPal account to obtain nearly $2 million. · Potential Sentence: If convicted, she could face more than 20 years in prison. · Current Status: She appeared in a Las Vegas court and was released on her own recognizance without bail. However, the judge warned her that any further issues would result in being taken into custody. 👤 What About Joe "Hustler" Vargas? · His Role: Joe Vargas is identified as Bobbi's husband and a self-proclaimed "hustler" who runs a CBD business. · No Charges: Currently, there is no public information indicating that Joe Vargas has been charged with any crime or is facing jail time in connection with this case. The legal proceedings are focused on his wife. In short, the person facing potential jail time is Bobbi Vargas, while her husband, Joe "Hustler" Vargas, does not appear to be implicated in the charges.

  This is ALL OFFLINE when Jay first DMd me about it. July 6th! Was Sunday! I UPDATED him about what happened. I told people that I felt comfortable if the donations were in a safe place IN A BANK which is NORMAL FOR PPL TO HAVE!! As I don’t use PAYPAL doesn’t mean I DONT HAVE ONE?!?!? I USED IT because Jay asked me if I HAD one. How can you say you would wait for the refund which I’m trying to do, then not even wait to slander me while I’m trying to wait for the refund on business days?!!? MIND YOU SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR BANKS ARE NOT CONSIDERED BUSINESS DAYS!! You listened to what your community was saying and you succumbed to what they were saying in your ear. I said it got hacked because I THOUGHT that’s what happened I DID NOT KNOW THE FULL STORY BECAUSE I WASN’T THERE!!?!?? Yes my bf made a terrible judgement in opening his bank account and handing his phone to a stranger YES this is SO SO VERY STUPID TO DO!!! But he made a terrible terrible decision! You can call him names all you want but to act like this just “doesn’t happen to anyone” is so naive when you feel like you can see the good in people and trying to help some random person?!!!! You might say “oh I wouldn’t help a random person” but that’s just YOU! Thousands of ppl including myself would help someone in need?!! It just unfortunately backfired in our faces

  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 48 minutes ago

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including Walmart, Nike, and Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  When I looked a bit closer at how AllScale Store's infrastructure actually works, what surprised me most was how well the technical side is hidden. Normally opening a crypto wallet means writing down a seed phrase, installing a wallet app, and figuring out gas fees, but AllScale has quietly solved all of that in the background. On the wallet side they use a passkey based system, so you secure your account with your phone's fingerprint or face recognition and never have to deal with the usual twenty four word seed phrase headache. Technically this runs on something called account abstraction, and in practice it removes one of the biggest entry barriers in web3 entirely. The gas fee side feels smartly solved too. The system runs on what's called a paymaster sponsorship architecture, meaning the platform itself covers the network fee for every transaction, so neither you nor your customer ever hits an extra cost. Because of this the blockchain itself becomes completely invisible, you're just selling your product, and what chain the transaction actually runs on in the background isn't something you ever have to think about. Right now it runs on BNB Chain along with a few high efficiency Layer 2 networks, and this multi chain setup is what keeps transactions both fast and cheap. The payment flow carries the same kind of simplicity. The moment a buyer pays, the money lands directly in your own wallet, with no intermediary sitting in between, so nobody can hold onto your funds or delay the payout. That's the opposite of how traditional payment processors work, since with something like Stripe or PayPal your money sits in their account first, while with AllScale it's instantly under your own control. On top of that automated KYT checks and on chain receipts handle the compliance side from the start, so you're covered on the regulatory front too. Put all of that together and what you get is actually pretty clear, they've taken a fairly complex piece of technology and turned it into something an average user can operate without ever noticing the complexity underneath. Whenever I see a product hide its technical depth this well I usually assume there was a serious engineering decision behind it, because making something look easy is often the hardest part of building it. @allscaleio #AllScale

  @Hasiradoo i’m confused- it doesn’t make a difference because paypal emails have to remain public for buyer transparency. anyone will get a notification for who they paid and a receipt to their email regardless. the phone number would be a huge issue, but they’ve since removed it and now it’s just username and display name.

  I don't think they use AI, a lot of their sketches look normal but I could be wrong. The main issue I see is their security. Anyone can see your full name, email, phone number, and PayPal email. Since I'm not a fan of my information being shared without my permission, I'll be taking my commissions off of CommissionsGG. I'll be remaining on VGen as always, but I don't trust the CommissionsGG website anymore. @commissions_gg , please be aware that your website has a huge security risk to your users!

You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully… you are a therapist on paper. It is not normal for people who are therapist and mess with people’s brains and have a company to try to destroy said company at the same time. You want to be by his side by all means I really don’t care. But you will stop targeting me. You will stop targeting my son. You guys like too much drama this is not billionaire behavior. You think this is royalty you want to steal the country at **** point you think this is royalty. You want to be a queen…. But this is your behavior. Absolutely not. The only stupid ***** in this conversation is you. Trying to break brains running MK ultra on people and thinking that that’s going to strengthen your brand. I am sick of this.

  @BullrunnersHQ I refuse to get a Venmo acct. and will shut my Paypal down on a second. Hackers get into those accts all the time. I DO NOT trust Venmo and question Paypal for unsolicited monthly payments that I did not agree. My bank had to fight to get $486 back from Venmo that I never had. It's quiet alarming. They need to be forced to use a secure ledger.
