  Basic Info: - Payment can be made via PayPal or Binance, BUT I prefer Binance - I Will not begin the commissions until I receive full payment - I'm a little slow when it comes to drawing, so please be patient. - I don't make elaborate backgrounds—just simple ones.

  spent some time reading through AllScale Store's official playbooks, and one section stood out. the one written for crypto signals group admins, and I think a lot of people running these groups will relate. the common problem: card processors like PayPal or Stripe freeze accounts the moment they flag your content as investment advice often without warning. months of recurring income can disappear overnight. with @allscaleio payment happens in $USDT meaning it settles final and irreversible so there's no processor in the middle that can decide to freeze anything. the buyer pays, the bot automatically sends the private group invite, done. small detail, but for anyone who's actually had this happen, it's the difference between a side tool and a real solution. #AllScale

  In 2012, Honey launched as a browser extension that promised to find coupon codes automatically and save you money while shopping online. It blew up. Millions of people installed it. Thousands of merchants partnered with it. Some of the biggest YouTubers on the internet promoted it. Then MegaLag started digging. What he found made Honey look very different from the innocent coupon extension everyone thought they were using. Honey could allegedly replace a creator's affiliate cookie at checkout, taking the commission for itself even when that creator had originally sent the customer to the store. And sometimes, Honey didn't even have to find you a better deal. MegaLag also found evidence that Honey's “best coupon” system wasn't necessarily searching the entire internet for the best price. Merchants could control which discounts Honey showed. Then things got worse. His later investigations uncovered Honey's alleged use of “stand-down” workarounds, allowing it to continue receiving affiliate attribution despite agreements telling it not to overwrite another affiliate's referral. By 2026, this wasn't just a YouTube controversy anymore. Affiliate networks started cutting ties with Honey, and the extension had lost more than 7 million Chrome users and thousands of merchant relationships. Then came the lawsuit. PayPal tried to get the case dismissed. It didn't work. On June 22, 2026, a federal judge denied PayPal's motion to dismiss the amended lawsuit, allowing the claims to move forward. And that's why I call Honey a scam. Not because it sometimes failed to find a coupon. But because something marketed as a tool for saving you money allegedly became very good at making money from the transaction itself. Honey wasn't looking for the best deal. It was looking for its cut.

  @darrelltalksfi I sold PayPal after it recovered from a long down cycle. I wish I only picked winners lol.

  Every week I see artists make tweets about PayPal suspending accounts. Make a business account. Seriously, I've survived disputes and refunds solely because I have a business account. Of course you'll get in trouble if you're caught doing business on a personal account like??

  @Emistations @PayPal @AskPayPal I remember facing this same problem, all because someone put a message in the transaction (Yeah. Any message they put there just straight up screws your acc). I ended up having to switch to a new email and a Paypal Business acc.

  @Tyler_Plummer @alexisohanian @altxyzofficial Have thought a lot about this. A few people have tried it on smaller scale - I think it would have to come from REIND/YC/TBPN or similar to get enough buy in from the people on the cards. even then, very little overlap with the average card collector and people who care about startups and venture. Pre-seed raises akin to rookie cards, companies to teams, limited signed runs, original merch swatches on cards. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on a lot of the cards that would be worth something. Examples: SBF FTX seed round, Palmer Luckey Oculus, Elon PayPal would all have to be retroactively created and would be far less desirable than if they were made at the time. Last issue with it - there’s not a definable number of startups each year. Drawing the line on who gets a card and who doesn’t is hard without defined teams and rosters like they have for sports. Lots of companies and founders go under the radar before they’re common knowledge and would not even have rookie card equivalents because the card company wouldn’t know about them at the time of inception.

  IMPORTANT PSA: Tipping Through Streamelements can get you doxed if the person you are tipping has their Setting toggled off (which I think it is by default) which says Tippers may edit their username. If they have it where tippers may not edit their username and then must use only their paypal credentials, then the streamer being tipped will see your full name. Thankfully, I have trustworthy friendos and I found this out after tipping. We didn't know it was a streamer setting issue, we thought it was on the tippers end. Thought I'd get the info out to all the peeps taking tips through streamelements. Below is an image of where to find that setting.

  @bernarditoro_ You can fix product perception by building a product to global standards. Why should I target Nigerians for a SaaS aimed at solving a global problem when I can use Flutterwave for USD checkout or recurring plans? It even has a Pay with PayPal feature bro.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  $PYPL Take away the stripping and don’t sell PayPal! What exactly is Stripe? You can buy PayPal for $150 and still earn interest even at $180. It’s a shame so many shareholders on this board are incredibly foolish. PayPal is bigger than we’re told and Stripe needs PayPal because its valuation is terrible fake!

  @KatrinaHelle Been in PayPal since 2023. Fortunate enough to have been able to average down. $80 is a good price, $40 off the low. Surely PayPal will reach $100 again on its own but CEO said turnaround would not begin till 2028. Rather go ahead and cash out at $80 then redeploy.

  @RoryCrave How is that larping? OpenRouter $150M rev can 10x in a few years no problem + $35B from PayPal trading at 1.5x rev and P/E 11x with 24000 employees has a lot of potential. And with stripe doing $7B+ they can easily IPO at 20x rev Please explain how that wouldn’t work?

  $PYPL takeover talks never actually died. WSJ reports the Stripe-Advent consortium is still circling after PayPal turned down its 60.50-a-share offer in July — roughly 53B, backed by about 50B of committed bank financing. Turning down a bid and ending a deal turned out to be two different things.
