  @Miilfywayz Respectfully, I do not understand what you are thinking is shameful. Could you please explain it to me? I know you previously did NSFW audio content but stopped when your paypal was frozen over it. I also see there is lewd art available on your patreon from this year. So I am having a hard time believing it is about NSFW content as a whole. Is it the act of inserting a microphone itself? As long as safety precautions are taken, I see no problem. I think the human body is a beautiful thing and while womb can be degenerate in the sense you are hearing the “insides” of a girl if she goes the insertion route, but it is also a very calming and comforting type of asmr audio. I think it is ok to have opinions and to dislike a certain type of content, but I’m not sure if shaming girls for having their own boundaries in the same niche you once worked in is the thing to do. If you regret your participation in nsfw work, that is ok too. There are a lot of women who get into it because of societal pressure and from the money it can bring if you do it right, but that doesn’t mean every girl that does it is shameless. I feel as if this take might have a root in self shame and guilt if you do in fact have regrets in your previous work and I urge you to find a professional that can help you work through that rather than attacking other women. Find your strength in helping empower other women, we need to focus on supporting each other not bringing one another down.

  Paypal denied my claim stating a reason that has nothing to do with my issue. NEVER again will I use paypal. @PayPal @AskPayPal Paypal did NOT take care of the customer in my case so BEWARE when using Paypal.

  🧵 Payments Pulse — Week of April 13, 2026 The payments industry just entered a new era. SWIFT is building a live blockchain ledger for 24/7 cross-border settlement. Stablecoin regulation is cracking open in Washington. PayPal is losing ground fast. A lot moved this week. Here's what you need to know: --- 1/ SWIFT GOES ON-CHAIN SWIFT completed its blockchain ledger design phase and is now building an MVP — with 40+ banks, including JPMorgan, HSBC, Bank of America, and Deutsche Bank. Live transactions before end of 2026. The goal: 24/7 cross-border settlement using tokenized deposits. No more waiting until Monday. --- 2/ CROSS-BORDER Why this matters more than the headlines say: Traditional cross-border rails shut down on weekends. That means if your CFO wires EUR on Friday, it may not settle until Tuesday. SWIFT's blockchain ledger doesn't replace correspondent banking. It adds an orchestration layer on top of it. That's the quiet revolution. --- 3/ CRYPTO RAILS Stablecoin B2B payment volume hit $226B in 2025 — up 733% year-over-year. That's not crypto speculation. That's enterprise treasury teams quietly replacing slow, expensive wire transfers. The GENIUS Act (signed July 2025) gave them the regulatory cover they were waiting for. Adoption is now the story, not regulation. --- 4/ B2B PAYMENTS PayPal is in trouble. Q4 2025: missed earnings, missed revenue, new CEO in March. The problem isn't the product — it's merchant adoption. They rebuilt checkout, but couldn't get merchants to upgrade fast enough. Apple and Google are eating their lunch on mobile. Gen Z isn't clicking the PayPal button. --- 5/ STAT OF THE WEEK $120,000,000,000 That's how much businesses lose every year to cross-border B2B payment fees. For context: that's more than the GDP of 100+ countries. And yet most enterprises still use the same correspondent banking rails they used in 1990. The opportunity for disruption is enormous. --- 6/ UNDER THE RADAR Most people are sleeping on this: the Federal Reserve published a new note on payment stablecoins and cross-border payments — on March 30. Key finding: stablecoin adoption could meaningfully reduce the role of correspondent banks in international settlement. The Fed is not dismissing this. They're modeling it. Pay attention. --- 7/ REG WATCH Three regulatory fronts to watch right now: → US: GENIUS Act live, but stablecoin yield rules still contested — Coinbase vs. banking groups → EU: MiCA fully operational, USDT delisted from major exchanges, USDC up 337% in Europe → UK: FCA stablecoin framework expected in 2026, secondary legislation pending The US and EU are diverging. That creates compliance complexity for any payments firm operating across both. --- 8/ CONTRARIAN TAKE Everyone says SWIFT's blockchain ledger is proof traditional finance is "winning" the crypto rails war. I think that's the wrong frame. SWIFT moving on-chain isn't a victory for banks. It's an admission that the stablecoin threat was real enough to force action. The question now: can they execute before Ripple, Circle, and Stripe's Bridge build the same thing faster? --- 9/ PERSON TO FOLLOW @jerallaire — Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Circle's USDC is now the fastest-growing stablecoin in Europe post-MiCA, up 337% in H1 2025. He posts daily on the intersection of stablecoins, payments, and monetary policy. If you want to understand where crypto rails and enterprise payments converge — this is the feed. --- 10/ WHAT I'M WATCHING NEXT WEEK → Any update on SWIFT's MVP bank onboarding timeline → PayPal Q1 2026 earnings — new CEO Enrique Lores' first public commentary → FedNow and RTP adoption data — will Request for Payment finally break through in B2B? → Movement on the US stablecoin yield dispute Follow @pymtexecutive for real-time takes as these develop. --- That's the Payments Pulse for April 14, 2026. 🏁 If this thread was useful: → Repost tweet 1 so others in payments can follow along → Follow @pymtexecutive for daily cross-border, B2B & crypto payments intelligence → Reply with anything I missed this week See you next Monday.

  My PayPal banned. The account that I depend on promoting and sell my art got deactivated. My account have such low impression, maybe because my art sucks. I have 5 unfinished major works. And I have a major problem with my family relation. I'm going to kill myself.

  @arbel_amir The thing with Pinterest is, the product is fantastic, the user growth is consistent (10 straight quarters) and they have a meaningful differentiator with their 80B monthly queries across images. The issue is management, I did not expect Bill, who came as COO of PayPal and founder of Venmo, to be so reactive. The issues he laid out in the call are all rudimentary issues (losing big advertisers) and his reaction of hiring more sales team and upping the GTM strategy is something that could have been done months prior and not just in Q1'26.

  It is amazing just how bad @PayPal customer service operates. The "AI Assistant" is terrible. I disputed a charge after the vendor gave me the runaround. And PayPal closed the dispute in favor of the seller? Based on what?

  @ItsToofy @MystiqueAlter Buyers are protected by the laws of their country, so it depends. They also are protected by PayPal when they pay through PayPal. Illegitimate charges back are a thing for us creatives: people buy on our stores, never report an issue and just issue a chargeback.

  dude this little arc from me getting hacked is getting so annoying, im considering just wiping myself off the internet. they got into my paypal and tried to buy 120 dollars worth of console gift cards, and it backfired only because i didn't have the money to pay for it i've once again locked down another account and added 2fa, and did it to a couple of others for good measure. im hoping this is the last of it im quite tired.

  @ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.
