MTS (@MTSlive) reportedSITUATION EXPLAINED: Aschenbrenner's letter to investors: full responsibility, no more leverage, staying in public equities. • The letter went out last night, he takes "full responsibility," and says the fund will no longer borrow from banks to magnify its bets • It will keep operating in public equities, not converting into a private fund as people had speculated • He compared the dynamics to a bank run, and partly blamed short sellers targeting the fund's positions • New from the FT: when Intel reported strong earnings and its stock unexpectedly fell, the aggressive seller was reportedly Aschenbrenner, covering losses on Bloom Energy and SanDisk • By Wednesday he had stopped taking investor calls, and was talking to Jane Street, Millennium, and Citadel instead • He reached a deal Wednesday night to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic stake to a consortium led by Greenoaks and Sequoia, then backed out Thursday morning • Greenoaks and Sequoia both led Anthropic's $65 billion Series H at a $900 billion valuation, a round Situational Awareness itself invested in • Despite all of it, the fund is still up 80% on the year, and 1,551% since founding less than two years ago • Plenty of big names have blown up worse and recovered: Paul Tudor Jones nearly quit after cotton losses, Bill Ackman wound down his first fund in 2002, Musk was ousted from PayPal before Tesla and SpaceX nearly went bankrupt @theojaffee: "People are getting way too negative about Situational Awareness now. Situational Awareness is fine. Leopold Aschenbrenner is fine. If it literally went to zero, he's still a generational talent and he would do very well regardless."

Pawmacist 💎🕊️ (@pawmacist) reportedEveryone celebrates companies like Stripe, PayPal, Revolut, and Cash App. We trust them with our money, recommend them to friends, and build businesses on top of them. But the moment a Nigerian builds something similar, many of us become the first to predict its failure. Why? Is it because the product is bad, or because we have conditioned ourselves to believe that anything built abroad is automatically better than what is built at home? That mindset is a sign of a person being mentally poor and limited. Flutterwave was built by Nigerians. Paystack was built by Nigerians and went on to become one of Africa's most successful fintech companies. These companies didn't become successful because everyone believed in them from day one. They succeeded because they kept building, improving, and earned the trust of millions. Supporting Nigerian innovation does not mean lowering our standards. It does not mean ignoring security concerns or refusing to criticize poor decisions. It simply means judging our own companies by the same standards we use for foreign companies not by a harsher one. Constructive criticism builds companies. Blind condemnation kills them. There is another challenge we rarely talk about. Too many founders are racing to build the same thing. One payment app succeeds, and suddenly everyone wants to build another payment app. One crypto exchange grows, and dozens more appear. One digital bank trends, and everyone wants to launch another. Innovation is not about seeing what works and copying it. Innovation is about solving problems that nobody else is solving. Nigeria and Africa need builders who will create the infrastructure that powers the next generation of startups. We need breakthroughs in healthcare, education, agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure, and countless other sectors that remain underserved. The companies that shape the future won't necessarily be the ones that copy today's winners. They will be the ones bold enough to create tomorrow's opportunities. So before we dismiss another Nigerian startup, ask yourself: If we don't support our own builders, who will? And if every founder is building the same product, who will build the future? The next global technology company can come from Nigeria. But only if we create a culture that rewards originality, demands excellence, and believes that world-class innovation can be built here.

Daniel (@Daniel57568064) reported@ThompsonJo85119 @weary_centurion And I'm just giving my opinion, pointing out his arrogance. He insults NBIS retail investors for no reason just cause the stock is down (yet still up 80%+ YTD) Meanwhile he's the same guy who bought PayPal before it crashed and kept buying...he's also a "naive retail investor"

shepherd (@xshephrd) reportedi did a paid collab with this brand, when it was payment time them: "pls create a paypal invoice including estimated fees so our finance team can pay you" me: **creates invoice, adds $10 with notes 'this is for the fees but if seems too much pls tell me + what you think i should add as fees' them: didn't complain, "hey can you create a new invoice? it seems there's an error with the first one as it's not working" me: ** tries to create a new invoice, noticed first payment actually came through. decides to tell them "hello, the first payment came through, check your activity to confirm so you don't end up paying me double" + added a screenshot for more transparency apparently paypal only charged $3 for the fees which means there's an extra $7 them: "hey we noticed there's an extra $7 after charges, can we send you something to post for us since we paid you more than the agreed amount" idek what to say next.

Steve Balogun (@deremyh) reported@abalu_uthman All these bitten down stocks could pull greatest surprised, including Meta though. I learnt a big lesson from INTEL stock. When US govt put in money, it skyrocketed. Now see what PayPal is doing now with few days. Another stock I focused on now is NIKE. Watch.

princess (@xprincessbbyx) reportedPd, go send four digits on PayPal. I know you’re trying your best to resist but you know deep down that you’re itching to give in to the temptation of sending and serving me 😌

CryptoD₿S (@DbsCrypto) reportedYour donations can be sitting in your account and still not be your money. The moment a creator needs a payment platform to approve their identity, business status, or withdrawal before they can touch what supporters already sent, the problem is bigger than PayPal. That’s custody risk. Creators are taught to obsess over discovery and conversion. But payout rails can choke the business just as fast. You can earn the money. The platform can still hold the keys. I keep coming back to the same point: if you need permission to access your own revenue, you don’t own the business. Owned audience matters. Owned distribution matters. But owned payout rails are part of the same fight. Otherwise “getting paid” is just another feature someone else can turn off.

Jungleball2 (@JungleBall_2) reportedSouth Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.

Vanesh Mali (@vaneshmali) reportedInitiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.
