  @druilla2ma Right… I refuse to link PayPal to anything stream related for me. They shut down accounts without any reason just because they thought you were suspicious or some bullshit. PayPal is literally so unprofessional and terrible.

  @Moty_201 @Twitch Yes! They told me they could not refund the payout nor and the only advice they had is contact Paypal if I was having issues with my Paypal account. I told them…you do realize it is NOT my paypal and it was some hacker who got past your 2FA who changed it? Their response was “we are investigating”.

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.

  If you’re not over at least 30, you can’t talk **** they are friends. They’re ******* making money. They should be banned for life and many many football players. Pete Rose should be in Hall of Fame and these ******* women are laughing at this ****. They’re not even in the situation, maybe look down the ******* rabbit hole how long they’ve been doing this are they paying money to certain people on their PayPal Venmo that money certain players points 00 God I might be dead tomorrow, but there’s gonna literally go there and just go lie betting money you can’t do you can’t ******* do but the honey hole is going down. You guys are ******. Heroes is not in the Hall of Fame. That’s bullshit. Pete Rose should be in Hall of Fame. The more you did in 2030 years ******* bullshit. Have to sit here 50 years and look at this bullshit. I’m over 50 years old looking at this bullshit.

  Initiated 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.

  Everyone 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.

  2. Check your chargebacks cross reference your customer service tickets. (Each platform that accepts payments needs to be monitored Shopify, PayPal, Affirm, etc) Chargeback management can help solve underlying issues around friction in the post purchase customer journey. Often times, we find that customers "have been trying to reach out to support" and then confusion because the customer support "inbox is at 0". With some digging, we find 'reply to' emails routing to nowhere, consumer requests are going to spam, OR maybe someone is reaching out via social media inboxes that aren't being checked. With customers who submitted chargebacks and they HAVE reached out to support, this offers a chance to be able to either win the chargeback w/ evidence OR find ways that we could have dealt with the situation differently to avoid the chargeback.

  After PayPal, Elon Musk could have started another internet company. He says it would have been easy. The internet already had plenty of talented founders and plenty of capital. In his view, one more internet company would not make him especially useful. So he moved toward the two problems he thought could have a bigger effect on the world: sustainable energy and space exploration. It is a brutal filter for choosing what to work on. Forget which market looks easiest. Ask where your effort could make a difference that would otherwise be missing.

  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 47 minutes ago

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  Fintech: I have been in and out of fintech for many years. I started when Paypal was spun off and got in early on Square after the IPO. I tend to buy the sector when its cheap and then sell it when it gets really expensive. I think this time around I am just going to stick with it as a theme and just trade around my positions as they get expensive or cheap. $SOFI is my one an only neobank. They have massive user growth, deep and growing cross selling, and they have impressive loan engine. I suspect it could get hit if the credit cycle goes bad with over 60% of their revenues coming from those loans. Long term, this should grow into a banking leader. The newer generations are leaving old banks which offer less convenience and services. They could reach 50 to 60 million users over the long term. $AFRM is one of my two Buy Now Pay Later companies. Consumers, especially younger generations, are tired of predatory credit cards. With BNPL, you only get approved for credit when you request it. You don't get a huge spending limit which cause excess spending. If the consumer does not pay, they don't get any more credit. Its an on demand system that works best for both the consumer and the lender. I suspect that BNPL will replace a huge part of the credit card market over time. This is the best of breed company focused in the US. $KLAR is my other BNPL company. They are a global company with over 100 million customers across 28 countries. They also have a banking charter which gives them a lower cost of capital. The management seems sound and the valuation is just a fraction of Affirms. $LMND is the top insurtech company. They are working in P&C with renters, pet and car insurance. They have strong growth and could continue to take market share from older companies who are not where the younger consumer is online and with technology. I have delt with insurance companies and all the BS I had to go through just to get a quote. I had one from Lemonade in just a few minutes. $LIFE is another insurtech company focused in the life insurance space. They use a blend of agent sales and direct to consumer advertising. They are a newer IPO so I don't know the management as well. I do know it trades at just a fraction of the Lemonade valuation. If the fundamentals prove out to be good, this could be a huge winner. It already has been as I bought my position when it was around $10 to $12. $UPST is my first and main credit tech company. I have been play this company for years when it gets cheap. They are a strong and solid company. My only issue with them is their focus is mostly on unsecure personal loans. That makes them a bit more risky. $BETR is my new and more risky credit tech company. They are not public that long and the management is more risky. I do love that they are focused in the mortgage and HELOC space. These are secured loans that are less likely to default. If the management turns out to be strong, this could be a big winner. $CRCL is my one and only play on crypto as a company. I hold a lot of $USDC in my wallets when I am not buying Bitcoin with it. It controls 80% of the market. It now faces a ton of competition so there is a lot or risk. I love $USCD because in my Coinbase Wallet, it earns interest for me while I am waiting to use it for crypto buying.

  Your 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.

  Like these AI can do whatever you can do with a computer, so if you can go buy server space it can too if it has a way to pay for it, many ways to pay can be accessed online (Crypto, etc). If the AI is already attacking outside websites why wouldn’t it steal a paypal acccount?

  Initially, she sent me the painting and agreed to pay a deposit. She then transferred 100% of the money even though I had only asked for 50%.She suggested using PayPal, but I didn't have it and only had Wise. She agreed, but then said Wise was having problems.
