  dealt with this and i refuse to do it again. no more “please update me soon” — im just going to immediately charge back to paypal/vgen/whatever and get my money back after i don’t hear from you for weeks. i should not have to threaten you to get what i paid for. i’m done being stepped on and ignored by people i gave hundreds of dollars. stand up for yourselves when dealing with artists who lack communication and decency. this screenshot was after being lied to for MONTHS, constant deadline changes, and broken promises. the chargeback period had already passed, and i was completely fed up. this was a huge factor in my rebrand. no i’m not censoring the name of the artist. people need to be aware, and call out behavior like this more often. stay safe yall.

  Turn on login alerts and payment notifications By default, PayPal sends email confirmations for completed payments. But it doesn't always alert you about new logins, password changes, or account modifications. His friend said: "Go to Settings. Click Notifications. Turn on alerts for everything logins, sent payments, received payments, password changes, linked device changes. Get them via email and push notification." He then showed him the Activity page a full log of every transaction, login, and account event. Most people never scroll through it. He said: "Spend 2 minutes once a month scrolling through your Activity feed. Look for payments you don't recognize, logins from unknown devices, or subscriptions you forgot about. That $2.49/month charge ran for 7 months before you noticed it. If you'd been checking Activity once a month, you'd have caught it after the first charge."

  @ItsLulu_7 you can talk to anyone on earth in as near to real time as physics can currently take us, obesity and laziness are magnitudes more of a problem than starvation , with paypal you can pay for things in a couple of clicks and with amazon they can arrive at your home the next day.

  @Ambrosfox Yeah I saw this randomly in my feed one day, felt bad for all the people who got burned. There is more to the story also from reading the comments. They went around PayPal refund rules by having them mark family transaction. So it's all bank scam issues now.

  Kelp exploit obviously threw a wrench into any thesis anyone could have about $ZRO and their Zero blockchain, but ultimately, with how much down only the token has been lately, we are, imo, approaching a zone where r/r becomes interesting. While generally speaking, Relay continues to eat the share of traditional bridges (you don't even need to look at data - anyone who bridged around lately would notice how often it's the best option), LZ does maintain a moat around USDT bridging + other stablecoin partners (Paxos, PayPal) + RWAs with Ondo. Their bets on being the primary bridge for the emerging chains (Berachain in the past, MegaETH more recently) also clearly didn't play out, but at least they continue to be able to secure these deals. Also, while I continue to find the inability for LZ to pass the fee switch proposal absolutely hilarious (June's proposal got <3% of the quorum needed kekw), it's one of the few tokens left in DeFi/crypto where tokenomics kind of sort of make sense and accrue some value back to holders. Admittedly, the bar is incredibly low, but hey, if we were to get the DeFi resurgence in one form or another (maybe fueled by the Clarity Act, maybe by all the RWAs), that's got to be worth something.

  @dimpledormlover I think there must be an error in the shop. A few days ago paypal wasn’t working and today I tried again and the shipping costs to Austria were three times higher. Instead of 80$ (a few days ago) they’re now nearly 300$ for the same 11 preorder items 🧐

  I've used Airbnb for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Facebook for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Alibaba for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Nike for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used PayPal for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Netflix for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal...same thing. Products i use/d. Services i understand, brands i saw operating in real life before ever looking at a chart. The funny part is that many people reading this have also used these products for years. They booked the stays, wore the shoes, watched the shows, bought the iPhones, paid through the apps, ordered from the platforms, lived inside the ecosystem. But when it came to investing, they ignored what was right in front of them and let bad actors with cartoon profile pictures teach them money management. They bought micro cap coins they never used. Projects they never understood. Narratives they never verified. Promises from people with no real track record. Years ago, someone very successful in investing gave me a simple piece of advice: "If you use it, understand it, and it is listed on the stock market, study how whales move in the markets and find the best levels to buy and sell" That advice changed how i looked at markets. The gullible mind keeps chasing mystery while ignoring familiarity. They will put money into something they have never touched, never tested, never needed, and never understood, while refusing to even consider the globally established businesses they use every week. Familiar feels obvious, and obvious feels too late. That is how retail gets trapped. They ignore the companies solving real problems in their own lives, then gamble on stories designed to solve nothing except the seller's exit liquidity problem. Sometimes the best investment research does not start in a Telegram group. It starts by looking at your own life and asking: "What do i keep using, and who owns it?" Find the answers, alongside understanding when whales buy and sell. As time goes on, you'll be winning.

  Is Vitabiotics the worst of the most chaotic businesses in the UK? I am unable to log into my subscription account so I try a phone call, after 40 minutes ringing a man answers "Which business are you trying to reach?" I explain the issue and he says "This line is for business callers, goodbye!" Thankfully PayPal makes it easy to cancel Pre-approved payments 🤨

  Now this makes a lot more sense. A few days ago we found a group of fiat tokens quietly sitting on Keeta mainnet. At the time they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Today they do. Keeta just announced its partnership with LayerZero to bring tokenized commercial bank money to major blockchains. So what does that actually mean? Think of Keeta as the place where regulated bank deposits become tokenized digital dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc. Those are the fiat tokens we found on-chain. They’re backed 1:1 by commercial bank deposits through Bivo and are built for institutions, not retail. LayerZero is the interoperability protocol that connects many of the largest blockchains together. It’s already used by companies and protocols like PayPal and Ondo. Instead of Keeta building connections to every blockchain individually, LayerZero lets those regulated assets move across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and many other chains through a single interoperability layer. Here’s an example. Imagine a business deposits $10 million with a participating bank. Keeta tokenizes that deposit into regulated digital dollars. Using LayerZero, those dollars can move to Ethereum for settlement, Solana for payments, Base for another application, and then be redeemed back into bank deposits when needed. The institution doesn’t have to care which blockchain the other side is using. That’s why this announcement is a big deal. The fiat assets we found on-chain now have a clear purpose. The GitHub updates we’ve been seeing suddenly make a lot more sense. And if institutions choose Keeta to issue and settle tokenized commercial bank money, LayerZero gives those assets access to one of the largest cross-chain ecosystems in crypto. That has the potential to bring significantly more institutional activity and value onto the Keeta network than if it operated in isolation. This is exactly why I spend so much time watching GitHub and on-chain activity. Sometimes the blockchain tells the story before the press release does. @KeetaNetwork $KTA

  Check your login activity (someone may already be inside) He said: "Go to Settings. Click Security. Select 'Manage your logins.'" A screen appeared showing every device and browser that had logged into his PayPal account with dates, locations, and device types. There was a login from a city he'd never been to. From 4 months ago. On a device he didn't own. He said: "Someone accessed your account from another location. They didn't drain it that would trigger a fraud alert. Instead, they've been making small charges through a preapproved payment they set up. $2.49 here, $1.99 there. Small enough that you'd never notice. This is called a low-and-slow attack, and it's the most common type of PayPal fraud because it flies under the radar." They logged out every device. Changed the password. Enabled two-factor authentication. Filed a dispute. He said: "Check this screen once a month. If you see a device or location you don't recognize, someone else has access to your account. Kill the session immediately."

  @neilhar more sophisticated version of PayPal since it’s Musk ;) More social than Venmo Can easily go to 24 seven and incorporate stable coins and self custodial wallets if people actually want it. Most folks just want to be able to move money easily and actually don’t want to have to worry about custodial. People on the Hill saying that self custodial is an elegant solution designed for avoiding regulation- rather than actually solving a problem

  @PayPal I am told I cannot use PayPal anymore because of an activity in my account that is against the policy. But then, since I created the account I have not used it, neither have I link any card to it. So, what could be the problem and how can this be resolved?
