  @TachiTach_ PayPal direct doesn't sound terrible, then. I always tip you anyway beyond what we agree to, so the tip more than covers the charge.

  @JumpyFeller @The_Real_Lord33 Like even before that bullshit with Patreon, Paypal (which artists use for commissions) was (and still is) anti-porn. If Paypal found out you did NSFW art then there would be issues from them freezing your account and keeping YOUR money. Genuinely a lawsuit waiting to happen.

  @FurkanGozukara @JosMirek That's the standard Billionaire Housewives scheme the Enron whistle blowers explained in the book: Extreme Money. Why was Sama put in charge with DOGE when Elon the usurper of PayPal Mafia ***** r us knew what he was? We can end the issues of the Manufactured Wars and rescue Japan at the same time with a manhunt Son Mayassohi and Public Investment Fund traitors. Use the Green Berets of Virginia Contellis to do it. @IvanRaiklin now knows China mRNA started with Softbank Vision Fund investing.

  @its_The_Dr It’s a civil problem though… case in point if I had a disagreement with a neighbor over money like this, for example: I bought something from him and accidentally PayPal him 10 grand instead of a 100 and he refused to return it, if I called the cops they’d tell me that it’s a civil matter and to take him to court so why is this any different?

  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 🤞

  🧵 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.

  @GamingWithNuke @KrestoTheArtist The problem isnt really ISPs, its payment processors. If they cant make money they won't do it. If Visa/Mastercard/PayPal etc all say no go to processing the "donation". then they cant make money off of it.

  @RohitKumar50777 @AskPayPal @PayPal PayPal glitched and banned you before you even start? 💀 That’s criminal It happens with PayPal a lot. Fix: Use Bybit/KuCoin P2P. No KYC drama, no app glitches. You control everything. Never deal with PayPal again: [check the link on my bio]

  @Owlizard Ah I see now. They couldn't make the payment at the level they booked. If it were once or twice I might add with bad wi-fi / early Patreon and Paypal I used to have trouble connecting my payment methods but this seems rather a large number not just one or two?

  @janninereid1 if i refuse to pay taxes for even one tax year, or if I refuse to report income over $600 on paypal, then all hell rains down on me, but a 3d world peasant with nine kids can invade and eat the taxes that the regime has stolen from me. No, I don't care about his sad story.

  @Austen I feel like we are at the stage before people trusted paypal where "there's no way i'd trust the internet with my bank account information". Slow and steady, then all at once.

  Sadly this chain of xenophobic restrict Nigerians at the slightest bit not because it's valid; being a black is a crime and being Nigerian is an omen with a mugshot and a '404: Not Found' error page, This service is not available in your region' sign, PayPal refuses to verify..

  Look, I’m already not a big Walmart shopper— I have Costco and Amazon prime memberships. 100% of my Walmart online orders have been stolen or delivered to a completely wrong address. Apparently now they’re just letting random accounts access my payment info. $300 grocery pickup charge in TN appeared on my PayPal overnight from Walmart. No email of a login from Walmart, no email of an order placed. I found out through PayPal. @Walmart what ******** is going on over there? Thinking of shorting at $130

  @xblazrx @spiderspookie @Kaiser7861 3. The problem is that the intent of the expose is literally her not caring about the actual victim but clout chasing. She literally tells him "you can still talk to me lol" in her own recording 4. She was fine giving him her paypal and accepting money

  Today a designer in Buenos Aires getting paid by a US client has 3 bad options: • Wire → 3–5 days + $25–50 fees • PayPal → 8%+ taken • Crypto → confusing, needs SOL/ETH for gas, public addresses leak income None of these feel like a normal wallet. We fix that.

  Jack — building TallyBoard (@TallyBoardhq) reported 43 minutes ago

  Talked to a creator yesterday who pulled $11K last month. they doesn't know how much she actually kept. Not because she's bad at math. Because their income came from 6 different places and her expenses are spread across 3 cards and a PayPal account she forgot the password to. This is the actual problem. Not "creators are bad with money." It's that the money is everywhere and the tools are nowhere.

  @Nero His work on PayPal is commendable. But Tesla is the result of a **** ton of money printing. If that's centrist then I say we tear it all down and go back to living in the trees.

  My best snipe? Ghastly Charger's Skull at 10% market value which I sold to some rich kid via PayPal. The snipe sometimes had a human cost however. Mislisted items meant someone made an error. Underpriced a rare item by three zeros. Panicked and immediately messaged you. "Hey I messed up the price. Any chance you'd sell it back?" Every time a difficult decision. Worth enough to block the player and take the profit? Or were they so genuinely heartfelt that you gave the gold back and forgot the margin? It was a vibe check and a greed check simultaneously. I was a poor kid in Estonia. Survival instincts are hard to argue with. But not always.
