  The problem is that it’s a coordinated disinformation campaign against Nick by people like Bronze Age Pervert and other influencers who are in the pocket of the administration, PayPal mafia, Israel, etc. Ever notice how they all post at the same time? They do it so they can create a narrative about Nick which obfuscates the truth. They’re not misunderstanding him, they’re lying. They’re fine lying to themselves, to their audience, and to God.

  @Mr_Derivatives SOFI's product and non-existent customer service is terrible. It makes me wonder how long they can sustain any growth with such a terrible product. I know Paypal manages it, but the provide a fairly unique service, where as SOFI has less services than a regular bank. There can only be so many new suckers.

  PayPal and Google just confirmed what we built years ago: AI agents need crypto rails. Multi-party custody, programmable transactions, open protocols. Not a future problem — a solved one. Good morning to everyone just figuring this out.

  I'm having a similar issue. I got a new debit card, but PayPal gave me this notification. They did it because they found it suspicious. They ask me to confirm my card, but it's my old debit card that's blocked. I wanna remove the old card, but PayPal won't let me do it.

  Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report... To get his buy/sell verdict and the price levels he's watching, check the link in the first comment.

  @Evelyn_Evermore The problem is the barrier of entry for many creators. Paypal shows your name as a vtuber, Kofi is alright. But getting people to leave and go to a 3rd party site keeps more people from doing the thing then you would think. Though I agree donate to your creator rather then bits anyway.

  Ryan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal Ryan was then cancelled from society.

  PayPal beat Q1 earnings ($8.4B revenue, up 7% YoY) but tanked stock with weak Q2 guidance. The company's down over 80% from its 2021 peak. AI cost-cutting isn't just strategy—it's desperation.

  @end3of6days9 I recently paid off my PayPal Mastercard I've had for over 10 years. Within 2 days of paying my account balance off my credit limit was cut from $17,500.00 down to $380.00. Total BS cost me 18 points on my credit score.

  @KWinfosecMafia Pros: Bypasses your bank issues completely—spends directly from PayPal balance. Free to get, acts like any debit card on Amazon, quick virtual option available. Cons: No credit float (debit only), must fund PayPal first if balance is low, daily spending limits apply, and it won't fix Amazon's retry loop on the original card. Still hit Amazon chat to kill the emails at the source.

  What makes Elon Musk so good at detecting fraud and scams? Here’s the full list: • First-principles thinking: he breaks everything down to fundamentals instead of trusting hype • PayPal days taught him that fraudsters complain the loudest (real customers stay calm) • Insane pattern recognition from seeing thousands of pitches, contracts & scams up close • Zero tolerance for bullshit: he doesn’t need to be liked • Engineering mindset: follows incentives, money trails & data like a bug in code • Been burned before: sharpened his radar permanently

  Has anyone managed to connect PayPal Vault with guest checkout? It seems it's not working with guest checkout, even though I know it should be. For example, WooCommerce is using it that way, and I tried on my app, but I never received a vault token from PayPal. #paypal #question

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 57 minutes ago

  $IBM, $SHOP - AI is not replacing workers equally. It is exposing CEOs. The lazy read is that AI means fewer workers, better margins, cleaner earnings stories. The sharper read is that AI is becoming a leadership philosophy. Two very different playbooks Coinbase is cutting roughly 14% of its workforce as Brian Armstrong pushes the company toward a leaner, faster, AI-native structure. PayPal is reportedly planning to reduce staff by around 20% over the next two to three years while targeting at least $1.5B in savings under its turnaround plan. That is the first AI playbook: take the productivity gain and immediately convert it into headcount reduction. It can work, especially when the company is bloated, margins are under pressure, or investors have lost patience. But it also tells you something about how management sees the business. AI becomes a weapon against cost, not a tool for expanding ambition. The other side of the trade Axon and Spotify are taking the more interesting route. Axon’s message to employees was basically: AI lets teams do more, not disappear. Spotify’s Gustav Söderström framed the choice cleanly: cut people to harvest savings now, or keep headcount roughly flat and ship more value. That second path is less obvious to screeners because it does not instantly show up as a layoff headline or a clean margin bridge. But over time, it may be the stronger operating model. Same team, more output. Same payroll, faster product velocity. Same talent base, larger problem set. That is not softness. That is leverage. The IBM point matters IBM’s Nickle LaMoreaux has been pushing the right question: are companies moving from “AI to productivity” toward “AI to growth”? That is the whole debate. Productivity is the first-order gain. Growth is the second-order test. Even Gartner is warning that AI-related workforce reductions may create budget room without necessarily delivering returns. Markets love the clean story of fewer employees and higher near-term margins. But the better companies may be the ones that use AI to compound capability before they rush to shrink the org chart. Bottom line: AI is not just changing labor costs. It is revealing which CEOs are managing for a margin headline, and which ones are building a higher-output company.

  PayPal is probably wondering why people are not using their platform anymore. For me, I shut down my account after they started, to prohibit purchases on legal items I buy. I never any company tell me what I can and can’t buy. Stupid business model.
