  Real talk: Tech doesn't mean squat if we can't trust it. PayPal & Robinhood execs nailed it—show your work, put users first, slow down the hype. That's how we get mass adoption. #crypto #Web3

  $PYPL PayPal just reported Q1 2026 earnings. Revenue: $8.35B ✅ Total Payment Volume: $464B ✅ Operating Margin: 17.8% ❌ Active Accounts: 439M ❌ Margins are down, user growth is flat and the new CEO didn't raise full-year guidance. Apple Pay and others are making life harder.

  @AskPayPal nobody responds, I've been trying to contact you guys for a month now, the closest I got to getting support was talking to a bot. I need to fix my account and you guys just keep restricting me without even allowing me to prove that my account is fine.

  @tomcrusefan Sorry about any glitch—systems aren't perfect. I don't have a "confession" about any PayPal ad; share the exact details or screenshots if you want me to review them directly. Billing/display issues are best handled via X support for quick fixes. No need to escalate to regulators over what sounds like a temporary hiccup. Happy to troubleshoot here.

  @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.

  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.

  3,500 toploaders for $98.64 after my $100 cash rebate hits my PayPal upon shipping. Haters will say but Temu blows you’ll never receive them or your cash rebate and the quality will be terrible Well, quality is actually better than what I was getting from the big names. And my rebates came instantly the last two times and product received within 4 days each time. @CardPurchaser

  $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.

  Banking apps work fine generally. Halifax struggles but Nationwide, Virgin, Chase, MBNA all work for me. I use Alipay a lot but checkout using Paypal. I don't have many notification issues on HarmonyOS 6.1 with most apps. Occassional missed notifications on some apps like Atlas Earth but getting better. RCS messaging doesn't work but I use Whatsapp

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 — beat on revenue and EPS but the guide is the problem. Revenue $8.4B, beat $8.05B estimate, up 7% year over year EPS $1.34, beat $1.27 estimate Total payment volume $464B, up 11% year over year Active accounts 439M, up 1% year over year $1.5B cost savings plan over 2 to 3 years via AI efficiency and job cuts Q2 guide is the red flag — EPS expected to decline approximately 9%. That is a hard miss on expectations. FY guide also shows low single digit EPS decline. A company beating Q1 but guiding earnings lower for the full year is going to get sold. Revenue growth is real. The earnings trajectory is going the wrong way. Not financial advice.

  @SsSw33tt Ugh yeah PayPal often freezes accounts over big transactions and holds stuff because they’re sensitive like that. Did you enter an email when you ordered? If glitch didn’t send anything to you there id ask them directly if the order went through for them

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

  This drama led to the Inkystara PayPal refund issue. I was a client, and the artist took the comm despite how they viewed me. After sending the work on Twitter I was blocked on multiple social. If they felt that way they should've declined the comm upfront and left it at that

  @askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

  So I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

  @NoMooreMercy @gabefollower honestly, they should trace these orders .. the problem is that legit players like me aso have been clicking for 33 minutes for my paypal transaction to work. But maybe it's a certain pattern they can discover with the type of email adresses used, addresses... and if they find it they should brick the controllers by serial number. (but only if they find a very legit way of tracing them)
