  New piece on Stripe, Advent, and PayPal. Less about who's buying, more about a question nobody's asking: how does the PE firm get out? (Skip the first 2 sections if you only want to read about the exit problem)

  @AskPayPal Hello @AskPayPal. My PayPal account was recently permanently limited because it was reportedly linked to another account with unresolved issues. I believe this may relate to an old account I created years ago but never really used.

  Infrastructure meets real money: how Arbitrum + WalletConnect change payments forever! In a world where money must move 24/7, with deep liquidity and lightning speed, Arbitrum becomes a real backbon for payments. Why @arbitrum ? • $17+ billion secured value - the largest among all Ethereum L2 • $4+ billion in stablecoin liquidity • Median commission ~$0.0035 (less than half a cent!) • Block time - only 250 milliseconds This means that tipping a content creator for $0.50, paying for coffee for $3 or micropayments for streaming are now really profitable. And stablecoins (USDC, USDT, PYUSD, MXNB, MYRC, EURe) work on the same network with the same speed and cost. @WalletConnect is the most convenient connection layer. One integration, and the business gets access to 900 million users through the largest wallet network. Accept crypt and stablecoins, make top-up accounts, make payments - from wallet to wallet, from institute to bank. Everything is compliant and without the need to build custom integrations for each network and stable. Who is already building on this foundation: • Bleap, RedotPay, Rise, Peanut, Fiat24 • Mastercard, Visa Direct, Cash App, Venmo & PayPal (PYUSD), Shopify, Stripe, Transak This is not a roadmap, but already working products. Thousands of applications have chosen Arbitrum as a production infrastructure for real payments. WalletConnect Pay solves the main problem of the crypt - fragmentation. Checkout, Acceptance, Account Top-ups - all through one integration. Users can pay with any asset, and you get what you need (stable or fiat). Plus cashback in base:0xef4461891dfb3ac8572ccf7c794664a8dd927945 , which motivates users. For business, this means: easier onboarding, lower costs, higher speed of calculations and coverage of a huge audience. The future of payments is on-chain. Arbitrum gives reliable rails, WalletConnect provides convenient access to them.

  BitcoinSafari /Education & Developers Program (@BitcoinSafariTZ) reported 19 minutes ago

  @bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.

  Anyone else think @Ticketek_AU site is a joke? 6min countdown timers… first world problems, but had awesome tickets to Bryan Adam’s, went through PayPal for payment, by the time it finalised timer was over so didn’t register. Took my money, no tickets. Money was refunded about 20min later - got tickets, same price, nowhere near as good seats. Whichever bright spark put a 6min timer should be fired. Shittest customer experience ever

  Elon Musk Bullied kid, Reader,Born 1971 in South Africa. Got bullied badly in school, once hospitalized. His escape? Books. He’d read 10+ hours daily - encyclopedias, sci-fi, rocket manuals. Rejected 3 times,At 28 he started PayPal. Sold it for $180M. Then he tried getting a job at Google. They said no. He used the money to fund 3 crazy ideas everyone laughed at. All-in on “impossible”*: 2008 was his worst year. SpaceX rockets failed 3 times. Tesla was weeks from bankruptcy. He split his last cash between both companies. If both failed, he’d be broke. Both survived. People called him “delusional”. But he bets on problems that matter: electric cars, space, AI. His rule: “When something is important enough, you do it even if odds aren’t favorable.” From getting punched in school to building rockets that land themselves.

  11. Passkeys the password replacement hiding in Safari. When you create an account on a website that supports Passkeys, Safari offers to create a Passkey instead of a password. A Passkey is a cryptographic credential stored in your iCloud Keychain synced across all your Apple devices. You authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. No password to remember. No password to type. No password to steal. Passkeys can't be phished. There's nothing to enter on a fake website. The authentication is biometric and device-bound. Websites supporting Passkeys include: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, eBay, Best Buy, Kayak, and hundreds more with the list growing monthly. Settings → Passwords → check your saved accounts. For any site that supports Passkeys, Safari prompts you to upgrade during your next login. One Face ID scan replaces every password on every supporting site. Safari manages it automatically. No password manager subscription needed.

  At 14 I was smoking an e-cigarette at school - People kept asking how to get one - Had them pay me upfront, then delivered a month later, became "the e-cigarette guy" - Wanted to buy a cell phone, found the same one on a Chinese site way cheaper than eBay - Copied the listing to eBay just to try it, got my first sale within three hours The next step: - Ran it on eBay for almost 7 years, used my parents' apartment as the warehouse - eBay suspended my account for a violation and crashed the business overnight - Opened a new account, then thought: what if they suspend me again? - Opened 100 eBay accounts straight away, managed them all manually - Built a piece of software just to manage my own accounts The step after that: - Went to dropshipping conferences, people kept asking how I managed my own business - Told them about the software, a black screen that ran my 100 accounts, and they wanted it - Saved every one of them in my WhatsApp as eBay 1, eBay 2, eBay 3 - Launched with no marketing site, just a login page and a register page - Gave it free for a few weeks, then started charging straight away Then a hacker got in: - About a year in, someone changed every user's username to his own - Switched all their PayPal payout accounts to his, so the money flowed to him - I went live on Facebook, opened the camera, and explained exactly what happened - Competitors saw the chaos and tried to poach our users with affiliate offers - Nobody left, because we were that transparent about all of it Then COVID hit: - Every competitor slowed down, froze hiring, and braced for the worst - We decided this was our money time instead - Hired our first Head of HR and doubled the company within a year - That's when we took the market The last big step: - Ran a 6-month acquisition process with a private equity firm - Aligned on the price, the terms, everything, right up to the signing day - Walked away the day before, because I didn't trust the CEO - Didn't believe in their model of cutting people just to fix the P&L - Kept focusing on what was good for the business Now: - Bootstrapped AutoDS from zero - Sold the company to Fiverr at 28 - Still building three more companies from zero

  Hey guys! Just had my paypal account get permanently disabled. I have no idea on why or how but they’re keeping all the money i’ve earned from my keychains for up to 180 days. Don’t worry keychains will still be sent out. And any payment problems are now fixed.

  Every TCG Discord runs on the same broken ritual DM a stranger, scroll a "vouch" channel hoping their trade history isn't faked, then Venmo/PayPal them and pray. I run a TCG community (Pokémon/One Piece/Riftbound) this happens 20x a day for $5–$150 trades: pulls, splits, breaks. Building Sleeved to fix it. Not for whales moving graded slabs (Collector Crypt already owns that), this is for everyone else's raw card trades that PayPal fees and fake vouches don't serve. 🧵

  @AskPayPal For those interested here was the resolution after talking to Chat. They said it was an internal Zettle glitch that they are trying to resolve. But they don’t know when, so they will add my case to that ticket. So, no there is no resolution currently.

  @CopperAmerican Most flee with cash and now load in accounts like Netspend/Cash App/PayPal at any Walmart. While reloadable Prepaid cards have banks attached, many others sold in stores can be purchased by anyone . It's a error filled policy idea. Money orders too.

  MaxGaming170 | Changeling VTuber (@MaxRenRez2) reported 60 minutes ago

  @MendamCaedo @takasiraVT Vroid is one option, but you can rarely get anywhere with that. The point I'm making is that this industry is predatory for newcomers and old timers alike. Particularly in the modeling, art, and rigging departments. People will scam you, hide things in TOS, and just recently threaten to revoke the model entirely without a refund if you even touch AI for one reason or another (including using an AI reference sheet, by the way). There's even a server out there that has decided to just start banning people if they use it on ANY PLATFORM, like some 1984 type ****. Cheap artists can rarely be trusted either, because again- on the off chance you don't read over your agreement with like seven lawyers, they can just decide to take it away because of any slight problem they have with you. And let's not even mention the fact that some people will decide to drag their *** on the commissions until the six month refund period on paypal has expired, then take the money and run, meaning that now you're out several thousand dollars depending on how expensive that commission was.. With all of this in mind, do you see why people are hesitant to turn to artists who are screeching about losing their commissions and turning to sources that won't complain about what they choose to do?
