  @juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

  @Brownmoose Nope it can easily turn into PayPal or Adobe. If I had to buy anything that’s been beaten down it’ll be Microsoft.

  If she has PayPal business account, they might be convinced into asking for a business name, number and address. They typically don't require it for a small business account (there might be a monetary window) but they can ask for that info. If she has personal only account, PayPal will not issue anything for CRA, and that's how she is evading declaring her $ gifts. It's crazy that her account has not been flagged BC she gets so much cash AND that she was collecting money in Syria

  @Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  @amazon Why do you allow companies to use a Shipping Company that is known for Scamming Associations? Jcex❓Effectively tracking JCEX shipments is generally not possible, as many Redditors report JCEX tracking to be unreliable and often associated with scams. The consensus among users is that JCEX is frequently used by fraudulent sellers, leading to fake tracking updates, packages marked as delivered but never received, and significant difficulty in getting accurate information or resolving issues. Common Issues with JCEX Tracking •False Delivery Notifications: Many users report that their JCEX tracking updates show the package as "delivered" when it has not arrived, or even shows delivery to a completely different location. "Same thing happened to me, it claimed it was delivered but it never arrived it’s a total scam ask for a refund"
. •Irregular and Suspicious Updates: Tracking information often appears to be fabricated, with updates occurring at unusual intervals (e.g., every three days) or showing identical timestamps for different packages supposedly going to different locations. "And why the tracking updates are so weird on every 3 days?"
. •Lack of Detailed Information: The tracking often provides minimal useful information, making it impossible to determine the package's actual whereabouts or the local carrier responsible for final delivery. "no local forwarding number there is absolutely no information i cant even see who has my package"
. Difficulty in Resolving Issues •Unresponsive Customer Service: Redditors frequently mention that JCEX is difficult or impossible to contact directly for support. "I also tried calling their contact number but the number isn’t registered or working."
. •Seller Involvement in Scams: Many instances suggest that sellers intentionally use JCEX with fraudulent intentions, relying on the unreliable tracking to string buyers along until buyer protection periods expire. "JCEX is currently being used by scammers, a seller (scammer) asked for more money to "release" this package that shows as delivered but of course was never delivered"
. •Reliance on Marketplace Refunds: The most common resolution for unreceived items shipped via JCEX is to seek a refund from the marketplace (e.g., eBay, Amazon, Walmart) where the purchase was made. "I never got it but I was able to get my money back from eBay because I also used PayPal to pay for my order"
. Recommendations for Buyers •Exercise Extreme Caution: Be very wary of purchases that indicate shipping via JCEX, especially from unfamiliar or newly established sellers. "Use extreme cautious with JCEX tracking via online marketplace merchants"
. •Monitor Buyer Protection Timelines: If a purchase is shipped via JCEX, keep a close eye on the refund and return policies of the marketplace to ensure you can file a claim if the package doesn't arrive. "I contacted eBay asking them to extend the product guarantee based on what the seller had said, eBay denied me. I then appealed and got my refund, as the eBay rep said in their message that it does show as delivered and that they could see it was still in transit."
. •Consider Alternative Shipping: If possible, choose sellers who use reputable shipping carriers with transparent and reliable tracking. "If it is JCEX it is fraud."

  This is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

  VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reported 45 minutes ago

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.
