  Disputely (@getdisputely) reported 2 minutes ago

  Most ecom founders treat chargebacks as a customer service problem. It shows up in how they staff it. How they track it. How seriously they take it until it's too late. Here is what chargebacks actually are: They are a direct attack on your ability to process payments at all. Visa and Mastercard run merchant monitoring programs that track your chargeback ratio in real time. Not monthly. Continuously. When you cross the threshold, the card networks flag you to your processor. Your processor opens a review. If the ratio doesn't drop fast enough, they terminate the account. No processor account means no Stripe. No PayPal. No Shopify Payments. No revenue. Getting a new merchant account after termination is expensive, slow, and sometimes impossible depending on the category. High-risk merchant accounts come with higher fees, rolling reserves, and processors who know you have no other options. The brands that lose their payment processing don't always close immediately. They spend months rebuilding infrastructure that took them a day to set up the first time. This is not a customer service problem. It is a business continuity problem dressed up as a customer service problem. The ratio is the metric that matters. Every unaddressed chargeback moves it in the wrong direction. Every prevented chargeback and every won dispute moves it back. Disputely is built around protecting that number. Prevention upstream. Recovery downstream. The ratio stays clean. Payment processing is the oxygen of an ecom business. Chargebacks are what cuts it off.

  @voi_scooters terrible exchange with your chat agent the other day. I can’t pay you for a ride I took. Nationwide, Applepay, PayPal and Amex all declined on your site. All my cards and payment platforms work on other sites. Your agent told me to sort it out myself! Ridiculous!!

  Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

  Receiving USD in Maldives was never really the issue. BML might occasionally place a hold on incoming funds, but once you provide an invoice (genuine or fake), they release the money. The real challenge has always been sending USD abroad. Does PayPal solve that problem? No.

  Michael Burry is leaning into two hated tech names: $PYPL and $ADBE. The market has been attending PayPal’s funeral for years. But while everyone keeps calling the business dead, PayPal has been aggressively buying back its own stock. That matters. When sentiment is this negative and the company is retiring shares at scale, the setup can become very interesting if fundamentals simply stabilize. He also added to $ADBE, calling it an obvious deep-value opportunity. Adobe still has elite software margins, with gross margins near historical highs. The market is treating it like AI destroyed the business. But the numbers still look like one of the highest-quality software franchises in the world. This is classic Burry: buying hated names when the narrative is ugly, valuation is compressed, and the business is not nearly as broken as the market thinks. $PYPL $ADBE

  Zelle pushed $1 trillion last year and not one cent of it ever crossed a border. That's about to change, and the rail they picked isn't the one anybody would've bet on five years ago. A stablecoin. Early Warning Services, the bank consortium that runs Zelle, is starting with India. Obviously. No country on earth pulls in more remittance money, north of $100 billion a year, and a huge slice of it gets wired out of the US. So what carries it over? Not ACH, not SWIFT. Something called ZLUSD, dollar-backed, built specifically for the international hop. And the thing I keep circling back to has nothing to do with the tech. It's who owns this. Zelle is the bank-owned network. The entire reason it exists is that the big US banks watched Venmo and PayPal eat into retail payments and decided they weren't giving up the rest of the table too. Those banks. The same consortium. They quietly went and decided a stablecoin is the cheaper way to push a dollar across a border. Now remember how many years these institutions spent telling everyone crypto rails were a solution looking for a problem. The problem was cross-border the whole time. Fees, delays, three intermediaries stacked on top of each other, sitting right under their nose. They just couldn't admit it out loud while wire transfers were still printing money for them. Cameron Fowler, who runs EWS, framed it as an expansion of what Zelle already does. Technically true, sure. But nobody reaches for a stablecoin when the old plumbing is doing fine. Which stablecoin ends up winning the corridor was never the interesting question. The banks picking one up at all is. They followed the cheaper rail.

  About AI and my art; if you’re just playing around with it alls fun and games. But if you’re seriously collaborating with it, directing it to adjust your sketches and paintings to fit your creative ideas & intuition, it keeps adding different unasked-for iterations. Talking with an AI is not like talking with a human. The thing hallucinates; or rather, it does not ‘Grok’ what I want. Humans have the ability to connect, that is, get your intentions, insights, and ideas, and they can do it quickly. I’m not saying that this happens between humans easily, or all the time. In fact there are plenty of times, especially when the creative intuition is operating at a high frequency, that many humans can’t get there. AI can produce quickly, but it’s directionless. Today I talked with one on PayPal. It said it could help me with most issues. Maybe it can, but only if it’s a problem solution in its memory, and you phrase it in just the right way to trigger that memorized response. Otherwise it’s very limited with what it can help you with. And it wasn’t able to help me with my issue; but a human operator was. I’d say that AI was not nimble or flexible intelligence. It’s quick data retrieval that mimics a fake flexible intelligence. Well, that’s my experience with it so far. Maybe, with practice, I’ll get better at using this as a tool, and forget about the idea that this an actual intelligence.

  @CTVNews Oh, Elon only succeeded because of “government help”? Spare us the tears. This is the same script they wheel out for any innovator who dares outperform the status quo. SpaceX didn’t get “handouts”—it won fixed-price contracts by actually delivering reusable rockets that slashed launch costs from $100M+ to pennies on the dollar. NASA was begging for alternatives after decades of Boeing/Lockheed grift and Shuttle disasters. That $1.6B? Earned through results, not cronyism. SpaceX now flies more missions than the rest of the world combined, rescues astronauts, and builds Starship while SLS burns billions in pork. Tesla’s $465M DOE loan? Repaid early with interest—unlike the solar flops and EV zombies that defaulted. EV tax credits? Buyer incentives that accelerated an industry Tesla invented from near-zero. Regulatory credits? That’s what happens when you disrupt dinosaurs too slow to meet standards they lobbied for. GM, Ford, and Chrysler got bailouts, tariffs, and endless subsidies for decades of mediocrity. Where’s their hit piece? Elon risked everything—near bankruptcy multiple times, sleeping on factory floors—while building PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring, and xAI. CNN/CTV cherry-pick taxpayer “help” (which every major company navigates) but ignore the trillions in value created: reusable spaceflight, EVs forcing legacy auto to adapt, Starlink connecting remote communities, and pushing humanity multi-planetary. This isn’t journalism; it’s salty obituary for a dying narrative. Government didn’t make Elon. Elon exposed how inefficient government-dependent incumbents truly are. Cry harder, legacy media. The future isn’t subsidized by your tears. 🚀

  My dad died in 1995. This morning he magically came back to life. I told him about Elon Musk. Elon invented online payments and I made over a million dollars through PayPal as a lawyer handling traffic tickets. Elon built electric cars - I bought 3 Teslas. I invested in the company and became a millionaire. He built a company that launches and lands rockets. I moved to Canaveral and I’ve watched 40 launches in person. They’re going to build a base on the moon and a city on Mars. Elon developed a brain chip implant that helps paralyzed people and might someday save people who died like you did. He built a tunneling company called The Boring Company that solves traffic problems. My brother and I went for a ride the first weekend it opened in Vegas. Elon just became the world’s first trillionaire. He nodded with mild interest at everything. Then I said, “Dad… the Knicks won the NBA Championship.” He looked me dead in the eye: “You were always a terrible liar. I knew you were making all that stuff up.”
