  @brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.

  Most of the "low conversion rate" problem isn't in the funnel, but in the checkout. Customers want Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, platforms that are convenient and they trust. Most processors checkout is absolute garbage. We integrate with native Shopify checkout and many others. DM us.

  @presh_rabbit FNB literally has PayPal in their app So you don't even need to login via PayPal to do transactions You can do them directly from the FNB app Like withdrawing and depositing

  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.

  @berylberu I have a business PayPal acc, yet my personal name still gets exposed depending on how sites process payments. Ko-fi + VGen both do this, check your confirmation emails. PayPal says it’s not their issue, and both platforms say the same. As far as I can tell, there’s no real fix.

  When Musk has 200 billion, he doesn't consume it-he allocates it. SpaceX/Starlink/Neuralink/xAI. Every dollar is bet on the future. He has a track record PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX. He knows how to spot massive problems and allocate resources to them with spectacular returns.

  Grok answer when I ask how to use Paypal to go Premium on X: - "Some users in regions with card issues use virtual/prepaid cards or other local methods." Me thinking: - "As a company ran by a Paypal co-founder, what do you mean? He's talking about setting up a colony on Mars!"

  @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

  Never use PayPal They block your account permanently for no reason, didn't even tell me why they blocked the account. So many people on YouTube has the same problem, why don't shut down your company? I don't know why they still in business? @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalIN

  I lost $54 on a PayPal transfer I don’t understand companies that still haven’t opened crypto accounts for payments and expenses, especially when it’s fully available to them. Example: I invoiced $500 (for content) Received $487 (???) on my PayPal account Then I had to withdraw to my PLN account = internal exchange at a terrible rate. I wasted a full hour because my bank isn’t supported by PayPal for direct withdrawal, and I had to pay extra Euros in additional fees. Result: one hour of my time + only $446/500 on my balance. I hate banks and centralization, but unfortunately, most AI projects still pay content creators exactly like this.

  Did that girl actually scam a proshipper? No, 100% she didnt. If she did, we would hear from the person who got scammed. Not only that, but if she did scam them, and is bragging about it on the internet, it’d be soooooo easy to get their paypal account taken down
