  @DhawaleVikrant I really don't care People who are worried about CJP's foreign funding are the guys who think protest is illigitimate The cause is real, 25+ kids have died, this was 152nd paper leak under Pradhan. Over 1L kids have died in last 12 yrs. There are issues related to UGC implementation + resevation.... If these are regular thing for you then you don't want accountability or change and then you should spend your energy on finding source of funds Btw not a single $ can enter via traditional routes (WIRE, SWIFT, PAYPAL....) without govt knowing it. Crypto was a loophole which has been now completely plugged. All transactions have a purpose code. Govt knows everything They just behave retardedly for their retarded supporters

  I've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!

  @IllusionaryOne @PreePonee @SassinatorSteph My account was hacked. 2 FA bypassed to change my payout to paypal and an unknown email, and recieved no update notice. Payout gets sent to them. I find out this is why I wasnt getting paid last month. However they have stated I wont get a refund since it was sent to the hackers paypal. And Twitch isnt liqbke despite their security failing. When I asked how to prevent or what to do I was told to turn on 2FA and change password. I did this, on top of disconnecting all accounts. Yet I had 2FA on and changed my password a few months back. I wont get my payout back. Yet asking what is being done I told we care about your issue and are investigating. But how is my 2FA still being enabled going to prevent this from happening in the future if i didnt even get notice my stuff was changed AND it bypassed the 2FA. How do I know I’m not going to lose my payout each month? It wasnt my fault and if Twitch isnt able to be held responsible…then how am I suppose to rely on Twitch’s security with my personal information and income to pay bills? 1 months pay gone and im paying for the security issue of Twitch with late fees, past due bills, and etc. I would like my payout and some sort of way to know I wont have to check my payout settings everyday,

  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  @GumihoDB Problem for me, is I had it in my cart, the payment was taken from PayPal, but then they canceled the order. Its not even on my page anymore. And cause I "purchased" it, it won't let me buy it again.

  The problem? The payments space is already crowded. Venmo. Cash App. Apple Cash. Zelle. PayPal. Everyone already has something that works. So X Money has to be better than just "send money." ⌯⌲

  In 2003 a thirty-two-year-old Elon Musk gave the Stanford talk founders still pass around twenty years later. He was invited to speak at Stanford's Graduate School of Business by a class of MBA students who wanted to hear from someone actually building companies instead of teaching cases about them. He walked in, sat down, and talked for forty-five minutes without a single slide. By that point he had already sold Zip2 to Compaq for three hundred and seven million dollars and had cleared roughly one hundred and eighty million from the PayPal sale to eBay the year before. He had used most of that money to start SpaceX in the spring of 2002. In the fall of 2003, SpaceX had zero launches, roughly thirty employees, and a runway that was going to run out inside two years. He talked about how to start a company when nobody believes in the market. How to cut costs when the cash pile is shrinking every week. How to think from first principles instead of from analogy. How to stay alive long enough for luck to matter. The most striking part of the tape is not the advice. It is the tone. He is calm. He is quiet. He is thirty-two years old and running a company that is trying to build rockets, and he speaks about it the way a project manager describes a Kanban board. Twenty years later that same man owns SpaceX, Tesla, xAI and X. His net worth crossed four hundred billion dollars at the end of 2024. The rocket company he was running on empty in 2003 now launches more mass into orbit than the rest of the world combined. The talk is on YouTube. It has been posted, taken down, reposted, and re-uploaded dozens of times. It never breaks a hundred thousand views on any single upload because it does not have a thumbnail hook or a title that promises secrets. It is just forty-five minutes of a man who had not yet become anything explaining, in flat prose, how to survive when nobody has backed you yet. I watched it for the first time in 2019 during a stretch of my own company where I was three months from running out of cash. Nothing in the talk was tactical enough to save me. What it did do was give me permission to keep going for another quarter, which turned out to be all I needed. The Musk who gave that talk did not know what he would become. Neither did the students in the room. That is the actual value of the tape. You watch him before he was Elon Musk.

  Privacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain @Americanfort_io

  @femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

  This guy opened his PayPal and found $92 QUADRILLION in his account For exactly 2 minutes he was the richest man in human history His name is Chris Reynolds, a PR guy from Pennsylvania who used PayPal to sell vintage car parts and had never held more than $1,000 in his account Then in June 2013 his monthly statement arrived showing a balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800 That's over a million times the fortune of the richest man alive at the time and more than 1,000x the GDP of the entire planet It also showed up as a NEGATIVE number, meaning for a moment Chris technically owed the largest debt in human history He logged in to check and his real balance was $0.00 But that exact number wasn't random, it was a fingerprint of what broke inside PayPal's machines The biggest number a standard 64 bit computer can physically hold is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 Banks count money in cents instead of dollars to avoid rounding errors Treat that maximum number as cents, divide by 100, and you land almost exactly on Chris's balance His account didn't glitch to some random figure, it got pinned to the mathematical ceiling of what a computer can count The same type of error blew up Europe's Ariane 5 rocket 40 seconds after launch in 1996, the flagship of an $8 billion space program destroyed because a number didn't fit in its box And in 2012 one forgotten piece of old code cost trading firm Knight Capital $440 million in 45 minutes When reporters asked Chris what he would have done with the money, he said he'd pay off the entire US national debt and then buy himself a baseball team "If I get a great price" For 2 minutes he was worth more than every economy on Earth combined and it couldn't buy him a single coffee

  If you sell peptides, marketing isn't your biggest problem. Getting paid is. Stripe, PayPal, Square, they'll process transactions for a few weeks just fine. Then a routine review freezes the account, and the cash sitting in it gets held for 90 to 120 days. We've watched this happen to brand after brand. Here's what founders get wrong about why it happens: These processors aren't judging the brand's compliance. They're judging the category. Peptides get flagged on three things simultaneously: product risk, international shipping, and the RUO grey area. Being fully compliant doesn't exempt a brand from any of it. Here's what actually holds up: 1. Skip the mainstream processors entirely. Go high-risk from day one instead. That means paying 3.5% to 6% instead of the standard 2.9%, but that difference is the cost of staying online instead of frozen. 2. Guard the chargeback rate like it's the whole business, because it basically is. Cross 1% for two months running and the account is done. Clear product pages, fast refunds, and proactive shipping updates are what keep that number under control. 3. Never run on a single processor. Two or three processors running in parallel means revenue keeps moving the moment one of them freezes, instead of the entire business stalling out. Payments come before marketing, not after. The best ad account in the world is worthless if checkout can't actually take the money. Comment "PAYMENTS" and I'll send you our full payment processing guide for peptide brands.
