  The problem? Traditional payment processors like Stripe and PayPal instantly ban these websites. If you try to buy experimental muscle-building peptides or unapproved skin-bronzing chemicals with a Visa card, the transaction gets blocked. Enter Crypto.

  @vansh22b PayPal disabled my account and never told why. No contact point to contact them. I just cant access my account nor use forgot password. Only way was to contact them via twitter and even their provided steps failed. Glitch is cant contact them without login

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interface. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  @surrealsoftlife @Billiheadboy @Hybrid_Ola The truth is that the platforms that have restricted us have means to restrict scammers. If scamming was the issue, why is Paypal back now? They left when scamming wasn't that huge a problem and have returned now a large number of boys are yahoo boys. SMH

  @EtrnlYth130613 @OneInAnARMY I had the same issue! If you aren’t a UK resident, don’t pay in pounds if you’re using a cc - I did mine in USD. The requirement of paying in pounds is only if you want to use PayPal as the payment option, i believe!

  Let’s clear up a common misconception. Doctors are not getting paid every time they prescribe a medication. There is no secret PayPal from Big Pharma. Per prescription kickbacks are illegal. Now, do financial relationships between physicians and industry exist? Yes. But they are generally tied to services rendered or other transfers of value, not prescriptions. Examples include: • Conducting research • Consulting • Speaking or education • Travel related to legitimate professional activities • Meals provided during educational presentations Many of these relationships are publicly reported and searchable through the Open Payments database. That is very different from: “Your doctor prescribed a medication, therefore they got paid.” That is not how this works. And here’s where I think people should apply the same skepticism consistently. If a wellness influencer is selling supplements, detoxes, coaching, testing, memberships, affiliate products, or courses, ask: • How much money do they make from this recommendation? • What happens to their income if you follow their advice? • Are they profiting from keeping you worried about a problem? • Are they selling a solution to a fear they created? • Are they discussing risks, limitations, and uncertainty or only benefits? Because here’s the interesting part: You can look up many physician industry payments in a public database. There is no public website where you can search how much a wellness influencer made from a supplement deal, affiliate link, brand partnership, detox program, or coaching package. Financial incentives deserve scrutiny. All of them. Not just the ones we already disagree with. Skepticism is healthy. Selective skepticism is not.

  @cb_doge $180m after paypal and he still had to borrow for rent after dumping it all back in. most people cash out at 10% of that and call it a win. the difference wasn’t just the money it was treating the whole stack like seed capital for problems nobody else wanted to touch. space, evs, solar all looked like charity cases in ‘02-‘08. that level of skin in the game is why the upside compounded instead of just sitting in a brokerage account collecting dust

  @Askpaypal I am locked in a customer service loop. The phone line says the office is closed due to a timezone routing error, and the live chat agents are just copy-pasting scripts without reading my issue. I need an escalations manager to contact me. It's an urgent matter.

  @Kakaaa1ep6 @vexmlk @PayPal I explained them the situation very detailed. I got blocked for getting more money than my acc limit allowed. I said that I just opened a new PayPal account and that's a common issue with that money limit being set at 600€ a month even if my income is higher. They asked me some questions to prove it's me and unbanned manually + asked to set my limit to 2k€ a month.

  Stripe walked away from crypto in 2018. Said it was too slow. Too volatile. Not ready. They just came back. USDC, live, real merchants, real transactions. Not just Stripe. Visa is now settling money between banks using USDC on Ethereum. PayPal built PYUSD and loaded it into 430 million wallets. Tether and USDC move more dollars per year than Visa's card network. Read that again. Here's why this is happening: wiring money between banks takes 3 days and costs up to $25. USDC lands in seconds. Any time. Sundays. Holidays. 3am. For a few cents. Visa's current system takes 2 days to actually move the money after you swipe your card the "instant" you see on your phone is an IOU. USDC settles for real while you're still putting your wallet away. The companies that built how you pay for everything looked at blockchain rails, compared them to what they're running now, and said: this is better. So they switched. Stripe, Visa, PayPal these aren't crypto companies. They're the backbone of global commerce. And they all chose the same infrastructure. That's not a bet on crypto. That's crypto winning.

  The difference between a legitimate reward platform and a fake one comes down to three things. Real brand partnerships: not invented offers. Transparent payout terms: before you start, not after. Actual withdrawal options: bank, crypto, PayPal. Not only gift cards.

  @bwnilly i had the same issues and they had $800 of my money 😭 basically you have to let them review your account, and eventually (EVENTUALLY) they'll ask you to verify what you're invoicing for. In my case, i had to verify that i was doing commissions, so i would explain that i offered comms on twitter, show them my prices, and i uploaded the piece i did. i doubt you have to include the art pieces, but i did to be safe. they also asked for my ID, and full 360 face shot, and my address to be verified. it was so invasive and dumb and i would have deleted my account if they didn't have so much money. Vgen offers payments without paypal and i found that way easier !!
