  @rwaassetchain You’re correctly identifying the bottleneck but “always the answer” skips a few hard realities. Stablecoins (like $USDC) fix the transport layer: instant settlement, 24/7 uptime, low fees. That’s a clear upgrade over legacy rails and platforms like PayPal. But creator payouts are a full stack problem: On/offramps: creators still need local fiat, and cashing out reintroduces fees + delays Compliance: KYC, tax reporting, and jurisdictional rules don’t disappear onchain Distribution UX: wallets, key management, and support overhead still limit adoption Liquidity + trust: stablecoins rely on issuers and redemption guarantees So the real answer isn’t purely onchain it’s modular rails: Onchain for settlement and global distribution Local rails for access, spend, and compliance The shift happening now is that onchain becomes the default backend, even if the front-end still looks like traditional finance. @rwaassetchain

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

  @CHP_HQ Can anyone from your organization go down to San Jose and speak with PayPal? This company is literally robbing Americans blind! Can anyone in your org explain why they do not require photo ID before opening an account or how they can send money 10X cheaper than West Union

  @Dskins207 @PayPal they used to be REALLY good...if you got scammed they would always fix it. PayPal is saying that I signed up to some subscription. (was signed up with my email not by me obv) and that I did it but with ZERO PROOF of me doing it

  @tws_pk2 @DogDeskAction Can you share your bank details please? I used to send money via PayPal earlier but looks like there’s an issue with my cc.

  @uday1kiran Reliable ways to identify a PayPal number PayPal rarely calls you without request PayPal does not make unsolicited phone calls. If someone calls claiming there’s an “urgent problem,” it’s very likely a scam. Phone numbers depend on the country PayPal does not have a single universal phone number. Numbers vary by region and can change. The only safe way to confirm a number is: Log in to your PayPal account Go to Help Center > Contact Us Check the official phone numbers listed for your country If the number is not listed there, do not trust it.

  @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

  PayPal freezing your funds with no warning is one of the most painful things as a dropshipper... but this forced me to figure out a method where reserves and bans basically become impossible. i made a FREE guide breaking the method down. comment 'PAYPAL' and i'll send. (follow me + RT)

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

  Ok ok / testing the intelligence offering $10 Million and a pretty truck now who's the stupid ****? Children are smarter than you. Time to pony up. That bullshit 'get me a card' game.. then look at that PAYPAL at the center again you are next my ignorant friend. JUST LIKE YOU HOTMAIL.. why every day do I need to fix my password? Is it because you ensure control by saving my password only on my device? That way the password really wasn't changed in your system / allowing me in only during that log-in so you maintain control to my account. How then can you offer 'security' to people when you are crooked? Answer now to the world. REVELATIONS

  but no, just kept lying to my face. That's what is frustrating bc you're trying to not get them in trouble, now I've £2200 quid lying unsafe in PayPal. Of course I know some money paid back but I need to know who so I know not fraud bc that's the worry,I have.

  @sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

  The internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.

  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.
