  @Silverfj13 @Badhombre His first business, Zip2, was just him coding all day in the office building where he and his brother lived. They showered at the YMCA and ate value meals. Then he sold the company and started another, and coded into existence the prototype software that became PayPal. He didn't invent the electric car but he oversaw the manufacturing process to build the things. He was on the floor every day — not fiddling with spreadsheets in an office — helping his engineers problem-solve. With SpaceX he started by reading up on rocket tech and was up to his elbows in the process. Again, he was on the floor every day while someone else did the spreadsheets. He's able to attract and inspire the best engineers on the planet. He's got unparalleled VISION. The engineers trust him because he is a detail-obsessed nerd like they are. Elon clears out the nonsense underbrush that clutters other businesses. He's one of them, not a suit hired to herd them like cats. Never invented or created. Cripes, your narcissism is showing.

  @PhantomZero99 2 Service problem is massive, Steam hate us, Paypal Hate us. Visa hate us. VN fans live in fear of censorship or directly being banned. VN suffer from the most problematic traits: Anime art and Adult content. All English VN existence is based on dance around Steam rules.

  @StockSavvyShay Visa $V and Mastercard $MA only charge about 0.15% of the total sum. About 95% of the cost goes to the bank (they issue the card) + payment processor (can also be the bank or something like paypal). So ask the government if they are confortable cracking the bank controled security + their regulated inexpensive tools to give control to a coin only about 1% of the population really trust. This is not only about friction cost but security, regulation, government + banks influence and control.

  This is going to sound counterintuitive: But I genuinely believe going broke twice was the best thing that happened to my ecom career. Not in a motivational way but in a specific operational way. The first time I went broke I learned that you never operate without backup processors. Because I watched my only processor lock up $30k with zero warning and had to wait 120 days to get it back. That $30k was everything I had. That lesson is now permanently embedded in how I run both brands. The second time I learned that you can't trust suppliers blindly. Mine stopped communicating, started cutting corners, quality dropped, chargebacks spiked, and it cascaded into losing PayPal and Shopify Payments within a week of each other. Now I have quality control processes, backup suppliers, and I've physically visited our factory in China. I also learned that legal threats can come out of nowhere and end your brand overnight if you're not prepared. A large corporation filed a cease and desist and I couldn't afford lawyers to fight it. Didn't matter if the claim was fair or not. Without money to defend yourself, you lose by default. Now I have legal on standby. Every one of these scars is now a system in my business. Backup processors aren't a nice to have, they're because I know what happens without them. Supplier oversight isn't paranoia, it's because I've seen what happens when you trust blindly. Legal preparation isn't overcautious, it's because I've lost a brand to a letter I couldn't fight. People who've only experienced success are actually at a disadvantage at scale because they haven't been stress-tested. They don't know what breaks because nothing has broken yet. The first time something goes wrong at $500k/mo or $1M/mo, they have no scar tissue to draw from. No instinctive response built from experience. I know exactly what to do when a processor freezes because I've lived through it twice. I know exactly what to do when a supplier starts slipping because I've watched it destroy a brand. That pattern recognition can't be taught in a course. You either lived it or you didn't. What's the most expensive lesson you've learned so far? Because whatever it is, it's probably your biggest competitive advantage right now.

  @Vykosa_AD @SerasReborn Deflection. The dispute led Paypal to terminating the account. If he makes a new one, they have his information logged so the new account could potentially get flagged and terminated too. You got an artist’s paypal account taken down and now ur trying to change the narrative.

  On the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda. Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse. He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended. The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America. Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

  $ADBE is where $PYPL has been for years now, a cash generating juggernaut that, nonetheless, gets hammered into the ground, due to market perception that it has no moat, and won't be viable in the long run... This stock has always scared me just looking at it's Volume Profile Ranges, very thin support until it get's into the $100 range, which is where it could likely be headed............ Losing $250 at the Ascending Blue 2/1 Gann Fan Angle was significant, Longs were making a stand there, and I think that's where Michael Burry bought as well, if it could've recovered there, it would've likely hit $400 next, then the perfect storm of high jobs/inflation numbers, Iran War flaring up again, and SpaceX IPO sucking out all the liquidity in the Market killed off high Multiple SAAS stocks again, and all that was *BEFORE* Adobe earnings announced it's CFO was leaving.... Maybe the market was over-reacting following earnings, especially with how good the numbers actually were, who knows, if it can regain the $205 level on Monday, at it's 12-24-2018 daily low, perhaps the stock can experience an epic Dead Cat Bounce back to re-test $250. If it loses $205 though, $175 at the Ascending 3/1 Gann Fan Angle is next. My Bearish case scenario, is this sucker hits $75 at the bottom of it's Ascending Gann Fan Structure, where my finger Icon is pointing, it'll be similar to what happened with Paypal, the Short sellers are looking to break the stock below the Gann Fan bottom support, to trade significantly lower.... How much lower, you say....well, Strong Volume Support doesn't begin till Adobe hits $45, down to $30. Which seems impossible, but, gotta fund the Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs somehow, right?

  @DayalSami Actually, Elon Musk is wealthy because he hasn’t started with nothing, invested his own efforts and money and reinvested his efforts and money, even when idiots were laughing at him for things like PayPal, laughing that electric cars would never work and laughing about his rocket Company Now that everything he’s done has made $1 trillion they want to ***** about how much of what Elon earned they deserve. Social media is the most antisocial thing ever, but what it does really well is reveals who the selfish greedy ******** of the world are, and they’re not the guy that created jobs and solve problems and Bill products that people want, their people that think they deserve any of what he has done when all they’ve done is complain.

  Most people scroll past these tools every day. A few figured out they’re ATMs. Here’s what 2026 actually looks like for people who paid attention 🧵 [1/6] Most people see an AI chatbot. Maya sees $7,200/month. A 26-year-old from Kyiv figured out that every local business has a website that hasn’t been touched since 2019. No chat. No automation. No follow-up. She opens Claude. Builds a custom AI assistant for the business in 40 minutes. Books a call. Shows the demo live. They sign the same day. $400 setup. $600/month retainer. 12 clients. The businesses haven’t changed. She just showed them what they were missing. [2/6] Most people see a boring spreadsheet. James sees $9,500/month. A 31-year-old from Lisbon noticed that every e-commerce brand has the same problem — thousands of product descriptions written by someone who didn’t care. He built a Claude pipeline. Drops in a product CSV. Gets back 500 descriptions in 11 minutes. SEO-optimized. Brand-voiced. Done. Charges $800 per batch. $1,200 for rush. No employees. No office. Just a prompt and a PayPal link. [3/6] Most people see a Telegram group. Sofia sees $6,000/month. A 28-year-old from Belgrade watches on-chain wallets that move before anyone notices. Every morning she writes 3 paragraphs about what shifted overnight. 200 subscribers. $29/month each. Her tool cost: Claude API + a $6 server. She spends 45 minutes a day. The data was always public. She just started packaging it. [4/6] Most people see a podcast nobody asked for. Carlos sees $8,400/month. A 33-year-old from Mexico City realized that CEOs want to be on podcasts but hate cold emails. He uses AI to research 50 executives per week — their recent interviews, their talking points, their gaps. Then writes a hyper-personalized pitch for each one. Booking rate: 34%. He sells the booked appearances to podcast hosts at $600 each. 14 deals last month. [5/6] Most people see a language barrier. Nina sees $5,800/month. A 24-year-old from Warsaw figured out that Japanese, Korean and Arabic creators make incredible content — that nobody in the West ever sees. She runs it through AI translation + light editing. Reposts with credit. Builds the audience. Sells newsletter sponsorships at $400 per slot. Two slots per week. The content already existed. She just moved it. [6/6] The tools are free or close to it. The information is public. The opportunities are sitting on the same streets everyone walks past. The only difference between them and everyone else? They stopped waiting to feel ready. They just started. What’s stopping you from doing the same? ↓ Drop your skill below — I’ll tell you exactly how to monetize it with AI right now.

  One of the most common mistakes in discussions about stablecoins is focusing on the technology before understanding the problem that it is trying to solve. For all the advances in technology over the past several decades, moving money across borders remains surprisingly inefficient. International payments often rely on multiple intermediaries, settlement can take several days, fees can be significant, transparency is limited, and access depends on banking infrastructure that was designed long before the internet became the foundation of global commerce (this was exactly how I discovered USDT myself 😎 ). This issue is noticeable compared to how information moves today, almost instantly and globally with very little friction. Money, however, still largely depends on systems built around banks, correspondent banking relationships, business hours and jurisdictional boundaries. Stablecoins emerged as an attempt to address this gap by combining the stability of traditional currencies with a digital infrastructure that allows value to move more efficiently. And they are not trying to replace existing currencies. The most successful stablecoins are denominated in the same currencies that already dominate the global financial system, primarily U.S. dollar and Euro. Their value is not in creating a new unit of account, but in creating a different way for that unit of account to move through the digital economy with low fees, global coverage and instant execution. This distinction helps explain why stablecoins have succeeded where many other blockchain applications did not achieve meaningful adoption. Rather than asking users to accept an entirely new monetary system, stablecoins allow them to continue using familiar currencies while benefiting from a different settlement infrastructure. Stablecoin transaction volumes have grown rapidly. According to Visa's on-chain analytics, stablecoins processed more than $24.4 trillion in transaction volume since 2019. The total stablecoin marketcap has also grown to more than $160 billion, while major issuers such as @tether and @circle now serve tens of millions of users globally. Business adoption continues to increase, and nearly every major financial institution, including J.P. Morgan, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc, is now exploring or actively developing stablecoin-related initiatives. Stablecoins are often discussed as a separate category within digital assets, while in reality they are the first successful example of tokenization at scale. For major ones, like USDT and USDC, every token represents a claim on an underlying asset held outside the blockchain. In other words, stablecoins demonstrated that tokenized representations of real-world assets could attract users, liquidity and global adoption. But the whole tokenization ecosystem is much broader than stablecoins, as we will see in the next parts of this series.
