Arushad Ahmed (@dash8x) reported7/ Conclusion: The current PayPal x mFaisa collab is not solving the actual problem faced by creators as it's still not providing PayPal merchant services. It's just enabling using mFaisa with PayPal and allowing to receive personal payments from international PayPal accounts.

Creative Deduction (@CreativeDeduct) reportedElon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported@FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

raptor.trade (@raptor_trade) reportedEveryone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

Praveen Kumar (@praveenkumaryo) reportedWhy My Digital History Is Triggering Active Hacking Attempts on Anyone I Interact With (The Cost of Pirated Software) Since 2011, I had a habit of digital hoarding - collecting and testing cracked games and expensive enterprise software (AutoCAD, Autodesk, Ansys, Adobe) just to see them run. In college and later in my professional life, I freely distributed these terabytes of pirated software to friends and colleagues, completely unaware of the massive digital footprint and security liabilities I was creating. By signing into these cracked builds with my personal email, my credentials were leaked to respective servers and weaponized through data breaches, allowing bad actors to tie my email, unique username handles, phone number, and social media profiles together. The real-world consequences started falling like dominoes. In 2017, a friend’s startup was targeted with Google account hacks and an Autodesk audit after their residential IP address registered as a business entity using cracked software from me. When I joined the rocket startup AgniKul Cosmos in 2019, I distributed these software packages again. The fallout was severe: the entire team began receiving targeted, unknown messages on LinkedIn and WhatsApp phishing calls; our Wi-Fi became unusable unless restarted; and our founder's email was compromised to spam the team, forcing me to wipe and reinstall every office machine. I later found out the startup faced massive licensing fines after audit visits. Even after moving to a spacecraft design startup, the exact same disruptive patterns followed. The targeting escalated heavily during the 2020 lockdown. After noticing a suspicious Microsoft account login alert that perfectly correlated with an Argentinian "ethical hacker" visiting my Premium LinkedIn profile, I confronted him directly via InMail. That very night, a coordinated wave of login alerts hit my Reddit, PayPal, and other social media services. Because I use a consistent username across platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn, these actors have mapped my entire network. They’ve tracked my investor interactions, used malicious links in bio pages to harvest my home IP addresses (forcing me to rely on a VPN to restore normal speeds), and targeted my family members. Because of this relentless surveillance, I keep my current venture strictly in stealth mode and refuse to update my employer details on LinkedIn to shield my current team. This is a public apology and a massive heads-up. Recently, this targeting has shifted outward to anyone I publicly engage with. Whomever I interact with, reply to, or tag on Twitter/X is immediately seeing a surge in suspicious login alerts and hacking attempts on their own accounts. If you are interacting with me publicly, please enable robust 2FA, monitor your active login sessions, avoid clicking any random links, and stay highly vigilant. My past digital hoarding has turned into an active security vector, and I am sharing this so you can protect your data before they target you next.

🚜🇺🇦Steve Blurryenko🇬🇧🦈 (@TankieSlappa) reported@MariaNafoFella They DM donation requests with a paypal account. They avoid posting the paypal details publicly because we'd be all over than and get it shut down/refunded. Genuine Ukrainian fundraisers will share a payment link publicly.

DamnedDogsFella (@H_LIPPOLDparody) reportedWrite the shelter or rescue a check, or use PayPal, etc. That way there's not a storage or expiration issue, and you've got your tax deduction. Benefit animals two ways!
