  @maxkarpis Will do Max! Actually there's a really interesting dynamic in the Turkish market right now. For starters global payment systems like PayPal are banned here due to local data regulations. But here the crazy part even though Turkish banks are super modern and issue standard Visa and Mastercards locals still can't use Apple Pay. It’s mostly because of strict data localization laws by the local authorities and local banks not wanting to share commission fees with Apple. So instead of a simple NFC tap Turkish users are forced to unlock their phones, open a specific bank app and scan a QR code just to make a mobile payment. The irony is that as a foreigner I can easily use my overseas Revolut card with Apple Pay everywhere in Istanbul without any issues while my local friends are stuck scanning QR. If revolut can offer a smoother NFC experience or somehow navigate the Apple Pay hurdle tech savvy users will flock to them instantly. With the Lira's volatility giving locals a seamless way to hold exchange, and spend in multiple currencies without massive bank spreads is highly demanded. Actually @getmidas has also stocks and etc but they dont have banking systems. It is just for investors super app The important thing is ending money abroad from a Turkish bank account usually involves high SWIFT fees and terrible UX. Revolut's frictionless P2P and international transfers would solve a huge pain point. I'll definitely keep an eye out and share any updates!

  I am trying to figure out how that sick bastard got my Cash App, Apple Pay, and PayPal accounts shut down 🤔 Given the global scope and operations of these companies, it appears that the individual responsible would need to possess considerable authority, potentially akin to a high-ranking official or judge, like one of the toes in Daniel chapter 2:41-43, or a horn in Revelation 13:1-10 or a king in Revelation 17:12

  @PayPal being you have zero way to connect with a human how am I supposed to fix my account? I don't have my old phone number to receive a code therefore I can't do anything. Every time I try to use your assistant it freezes my app. Could someone get with me? Please.

  I have talked to @PayPal support and emailed them. Now I sit and wait and hope that they have an actual human review my issue and not AI 🙃 Would love to get my commissions back up and running 🤞

  @Amentis1 @TrageKeinBh Exactly. Online banking + Bybit P2P = you keep 100%. PayPal + Africa = you lose 8-10%. Broke it down here:

  @20DollarChicken @Maryine_34 Begging for YOUR own money is crazy 😭 PayPal did same to me. Fix: Tell clients "bank transfer only" now. Cash out via Bybit P2P → instant. No begging. Never again: [check my pinned]

  Someone should create a micro-blogging app where people can discuss news and trends in brevity. This time limit the text to 150 - 200 letters. This is why we signed up to X. But right now X is Instagram, YouTube plus PayPal. Microblogging is broken. We need a new outlet. Trust me. If it's simple and fun people will leave X to build somewhere new from scratch. We miss Twitter so much.

  If there's any problems with orders you have placed PLEASE contact me on kofi first before filing claims it's easier for both of us rather than waiting on PayPal to side on something I could have given you the answer to in 20 minutes

  @AskPayPal I cannot access my account because the verification code is sent to my old phone number. I don’t have access to it anymore. I also cannot contact support because it requires login. Please help me recover my account.

  @Abusadeeq1968 @john322226 Honestly, this just explains why the same issues keep repeating, freelancers are the ones always stuck in the middle of all these restrictions and policies. At this point it’s really about adapting. I just use Vban on my end to avoid all this paypal stress.

  @PayPal it is really hard to do something when you cannot get the technology to work right and there's no way to contact a real person.....and when you chat with someone they tell you the only way to do what you need is through the phone app, that is not working right.

  Peter Thiel and David Sacks were going to write a book about PayPal. Elon Musk’s chapter was titled “The Man Who Knew Nothing About Risk.” The PayPal Mafia. The sharpest venture minds of a generation. People who had built with Musk. Watched him operate up close. They thought he was out of his mind. Thiel: “When Elon was building both Tesla and SpaceX in the 2000s, people thought he was just really, really crazy.” This was not the press misunderstanding a founder. This was his own people. And they were not wrong by accident. They were wrong by design. Because the framework everyone uses to calculate risk is built on one assumption. That the laws governing what is possible are fixed. Musk did not share that assumption. Thiel figured that out later. Thiel: “If one of the two companies had succeeded, you would say, well, maybe he still got really lucky. But when two out of two companies that people thought were completely harebrained both succeed, you have to reassess.” One success is luck. Two is a different kind of intelligence entirely. Musk was simultaneously trying to privatize space and electrify transportation. Two industries with the most entrenched players on Earth. Two that had eaten billions in failed attempts. Two that governments spent decades trying to move and couldn’t. He did both. At the same time. Nearly went bankrupt doing it. And came out the other side owning both. That is not luck. That is not even genius. That is a different relationship with reality itself. The conventional risk model measures one thing. The probability of losing what you already have. Capital at risk. Downside scenarios. Protect the position. Musk was running a different equation entirely. He was calculating the cost of not trying. The risk of building a reusable rocket and failing is a rounding error. The risk of humanity remaining trapped on a single planet forever is not. The conventional investor sees a 90% chance of losing everything and calls it irrational. Musk saw a 100% chance of civilizational stagnation if no one moved and called that the real risk. The math was never wrong. The lens was just incomprehensibly larger. Thiel: “Somehow the rest of us are too risk-averse, or there’s something about risk he knows that we don’t.” That is Peter Thiel. One of the most ruthless, clear-eyed thinkers in venture capital history admitting the model broke. Not that Musk got lucky. That the rest of them were running a flawed framework and didn’t know it. That should keep you up at night. Because if the PayPal Mafia had the wrong model, the question is not whether Musk is exceptional. The question is how many other things the conventional framework is catastrophically wrong about right now. How many ideas getting buried today look obvious in ten years. How many founders are being told they don’t understand risk when they are the only ones who do. The chapter never got written. The man it was supposed to warn us about built two of the most important companies in human history instead. They are still writing the explanation. He already moved on to the next impossible thing.

  Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

  @AskPayPal My paypal has been permanently deactivated after sending some extra information about me (because they told me to do) It's been only 2 weeks since I started using it. I really don't know what to do for this, I'm actually really sad right now. Is there any way I can resolve the issue? (The cause of this might be VPN; I think I was using vpn when I was using paypal one time before because of Twitch shutdown in Korea)
