  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  Yes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

  9/ My read after twenty years across PayPal, Mastercard, and Gojek: a table like Bernstein's tells you whether a rail is broken or just underpriced for its next stage. UPI's own numbers, including the ones already working quietly inside it, say underpriced, not broken.

  @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.

  @IllusionaryOne @PreePonee @SassinatorSteph My account was hacked. 2 FA bypassed to change my payout to paypal and an unknown email, and recieved no update notice. Payout gets sent to them. I find out this is why I wasnt getting paid last month. However they have stated I wont get a refund since it was sent to the hackers paypal. And Twitch isnt liqbke despite their security failing. When I asked how to prevent or what to do I was told to turn on 2FA and change password. I did this, on top of disconnecting all accounts. Yet I had 2FA on and changed my password a few months back. I wont get my payout back. Yet asking what is being done I told we care about your issue and are investigating. But how is my 2FA still being enabled going to prevent this from happening in the future if i didnt even get notice my stuff was changed AND it bypassed the 2FA. How do I know I’m not going to lose my payout each month? It wasnt my fault and if Twitch isnt able to be held responsible…then how am I suppose to rely on Twitch’s security with my personal information and income to pay bills? 1 months pay gone and im paying for the security issue of Twitch with late fees, past due bills, and etc. I would like my payout and some sort of way to know I wont have to check my payout settings everyday,

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  PayPal handles billions of transactions using Node.js. LinkedIn serves millions of concurrent members using Node.js Netflix manages their entire TV UI layer using Node.js But, Javascript runs on a single thread. And your Node.js server is handling 50,000 concurrent transactions right now. Tell me how?

  @AskCiti She finally got answered after 3½ hours. Then the representative was useless. The rep basically said it's a PayPal problem, even though the charge doesn't exist in her PayPal. She's reported the card as stolen now. She can't dispute the PayPal charge because it doesn't show.

  You spent $2,000 on a MacBook Pro for a new hire. Then $180 a year on the Microsoft 365 seat, $60 on Adobe, $144 on Slack, $240 on Zoom. All assigned to one laptop, one employee, one desk. Then your CFO asked how many of the 400 laptops in this company are actually being used, and by whom. You opened the Google Sheet. Half the rows were blank. Employees who left six months ago still had assets assigned. So IT called ServiceNow. ITAM Standard is $100 per user per month. Professional $150. Enterprise $200+. The median ServiceNow contract on Vendr is $124,364 a year. Implementation runs three to five times the license fee. Then IT called Lansweeper. $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Then IT called Freshservice. $19 per agent, then metered on every asset over 500. You are paying six figures a year to answer "who has laptop DELL-4471" in 2026. Now meet Snipe-IT. A free and open source IT asset management platform that runs on your own server and tracks every laptop, phone, license, and cable your company owns. No cloud. No agents. No per-seat fee. Built in 2013 by a developer named Alison Gianotto who was the CTO of a New York City ad agency when the office had to move. Her team was tracking hundreds of laptops in a Google Doc. She tried every commercial and open source tool. None of them worked. So she wrote her own. When she finished the first full inventory, she discovered the agency was missing $25,000 in assets. Her husband nagged her for months to add a PayPal button. She finally did it. Two days later she had a paying customer. Snipe-IT itself stayed free. 14,113 stars. 3,886 forks. AGPL-3.0. Pushed to the repo today. Here is what Snipe-IT gives you: - Track every laptop, phone, monitor, cable, and accessory in one place - Assign assets to users, departments, or locations with full history - Software license management with seat tracking and expiration alerts - Barcode and QR code generation for physical labels - Custom fields, statuses, and categories - LDAP, SAML, and Google Workspace SSO - REST API for every endpoint - Runs on any Linux box, Docker, or a $5 VPS Here is what Snipe-IT costs: Zero. Forever. No per-user fee. No asset cap. ServiceNow charges $100 per user per month. Snipe-IT doesn't. Lansweeper charges $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Snipe-IT doesn't. Freshservice meters every asset over 500. Snipe-IT doesn't. Ivanti and Flexera hide their pricing behind a sales call. Snipe-IT doesn't. Here's the wildest part: Snipe-IT is used by Sony, Yale University, Fujitsu, and thousands of school districts, hospitals, and government agencies that couldn't stomach a $124,000 ServiceNow bill. Alison's official title at Grokability is Chief Mohawk Officer. For a 50-person IT team, you save $60,000 a year. For a 500-person company, you save $600,000 a year. Your assets. Your database. Your server. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments) Must Follow @iqtauhid For More.

  @quarter_clover PayPal and Stripe, both pose potential problems for artists. PayPal is easy to use but will drop artists over commission disputes. Stripe has a reputation for including personal info in receipts and billing, thus doxxing artists. This is not hearsay; I've had friends affected.
