  @PayPal Please do not use anything related to PayPal. It’s a terrible company with absolutely no customer support. If an issue arises, it will never be addressed.

  Hi @AskPayPal , I called customer support today because I need to update the phone number on my account. The agent told me there's currently an internal system issue preventing them from changing phone numbers. Do you have any ETA on when this will be resolved?

  I got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

  @pbeisel Now you have my curiosity peaked. In the 80s I was trying to use a spinning reflecting lens to redirect a pulsed high intensity light beam to multiple targets. Nobody would tell us why, but it was during the Reagan, star wars era. I was toying with the idea of something similar to a daisy ball in a typewriter. Cooling was my biggest issue. I was not great with thermodynamics. I focused more on RF, as data transport without wires capitivated my attention. The late 90's on were my playground. Captive portal tech was where I shined. Chillispot, Linksys, Aironet, worked with Boingo, PayPal, Direcway and IP3 and Barricade. Sorry for the block Google. Published in Women's Business Journal a week before they did. Ouch! all that money on dark fiber. Fun times! Oops, distracted by the happy memories.

  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  I know many people are still shocked over the growing evidence that Jason Schreier likely exaggerated or perhaps even manufactured the Blizzard incidents. Guesses on motivations for why he did so differ but most speculate he’s "paving a way" - possibly allowing people he is friends with...or part of the same clique with...to take over jobs and leadership positions in Blizzard. If it turns out to be true then I want to assure you, NONE of this is new. These cliques have done this for over a decade now, and to show you a taste of what I mean, I will refer to you a little incident called "Game_Jam" 2014 Essentially, it was a high-profile and hyped Reality show where Game devs developed a game live. It was big, it was well prepped. It failed HARD. It got destroyed before it even had a chance to get off the ground. Now why did that happen? Well around the time of the event, Games Journalists started to make a whole bunch of coordinated very negative pieces on the Gamejam, a lot of blatant exaggerations of issues that made the show look like a disaster. Back then, most people didn't know that Games Journalists enjoyed lying, so they took these articles at face value. Hype for the show was destroyed and the show was cancelled. Again, why would that happen? Well it turns out, within the SAME DAY - a NEW Game Jam website got created, called "Rebel Game Jam". The "Rebel Game Jam", was run by someone that goes by the Initials ZQ. The website had links to "donations", and these donations, go directly to this ZQ's personal paypal account. Coincidence? To me its not. It turns out, ZQ has been shown to be quite good friends with many Games Journalists, many of them frequently write positive press about her and her single "game". Some of the games Journalists even actively donated to her Patreon. That's how much of a "good friend" they were with this ZQ. So again, don't be shocked if the theory that "Games Journalists like Jason Schreier exaggerated or manufactured horrible stories about Blizzard leadership so they get kicked out of the Company, ripe for replacement by their friends” turns out to be true. Always keep and eye out, do not trust Game Journalists. When they write something or do something - always ask yourself "who are they backing? What do theu actually want?” Am I being ******? Probably. Should you still watch out even if I am? Yes.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  8-5--Sebastian Rogers: Where is he?? Deep Discussion Brittney’s 8-5 stream was titled “Sebastian Rogers: Where Is He?? Deep Discussion,” and after more than an hour of theme music, birthday greetings, baby clothes, technical problems, monetization reminders, an unrelated internet crisis, scheduling complaints, and accidentally blocking her own moderator, the “deep discussion” finally arrived. Nothing says urgent missing-child coverage quite like needing provisions and a trail map to reach the actual topic. Once Brittney finally got to Sebastian, she repeatedly reminded viewers that Seth Rogers’s lawsuits contain unproven civil allegations and that everyone should remain respectful because nobody knows what happened to Sebastian. That is responsible framing. It is also remarkably convenient framing from someone who previously used the disappearance of a Tennessee child as the backdrop for a RICO/injunction filing in Pennsylvania against two single-mother creators who live there. Sebastian disappeared in Tennessee. The investigation was conducted in Tennessee. The people responsible for finding him are in Tennessee. Yet somehow two women in Pennsylvania were dragged into a sprawling legal narrative as though their commentary channels were the missing link in the Sumner County investigation. Seth Rogers even reportedly said those two creators would have “blood on their hands” if Sebastian was not found. Not the investigators accused of mishandling the scene. Not the agencies named in his federal lawsuits. Not the adults who were physically present in Sebastian’s life. Two YouTube creators hundreds of miles away in Pennsylvania that never met the boy or his family. Very logical. Very evidence-based. Definitely not an attempt to weaponize a missing child’s case against critics. And this is exactly why so many people no longer feel comfortable saying Sebastian’s name publicly. It is not because they stopped caring about Sebastian. It is because anyone who questions Seth, challenges a claim, asks for documentation, or refuses to join the approved Green Team narrative risks being labeled an enemy of the case. People critical of Seth have been doxxed, had their employers or jobs targeted, received cease-and-desist letters, faced lawsuits, and were publicly accused of interfering with the search for Sebastian. Brittney, Seth, and members of the Green Team have helped create an environment where disagreement is not treated as disagreement. It is treated as sabotage. A question becomes harassment. Criticism becomes defamation. Documentation becomes stalking. And refusing to accept every claim as fact apparently means you do not care whether Sebastian is found. That does not keep Sebastian’s name alive. It creates a chilling effect around his case. People stop covering it because they do not want their personal information exposed. They stop asking questions because they do not want their jobs contacted. They stop discussing inconsistencies because they do not want a legal threat delivered to their door. They stop saying Sebastian’s name because the people claiming to advocate for him have made doing so feel legally and personally dangerous. Then Brittney turns around and worries that people are going to stop talking about Sebastian and allow the case to go cold. GTFOH with all your fake concern you are one of the reasons people stopped saying his name. Why would that possibly happen? Could it be the lawsuits? The cease-and-desist letters? The doxxing allegations? The employment targeting? The public threats that critics may have “blood on their hands”? The message has been perfectly clear: Talk about Sebastian - but only if you repeat the approved narrative. Keeping Sebastian’s name alive is not the same thing as using his name to validate lawsuits, attack former friends, silence commentary channels, and build an online persecution narrative. Those are two very different things. Brittney also leaned heavily on Seth’s lawsuits while correctly repeating that allegations in a complaint are not proven facts. That disclaimer apparently applies when discussing government agencies - but becomes much more flexible when the allegations involve the Proudfoots or creators she dislikes. When the lawsuit accuses investigators, we must wait for evidence. When Brittney and the Green Team accuse the Proudfoots or other YouTubers, apparently a livestream, a theory, and an attorney are plenty. The DCS portion was especially revealing because Brittney admitted she did not have the actual complaint and instead relied on an AI-generated summary. So viewers received hours of legal commentary based partly on a summary of a pleading she had not read, while the stream still treated the existence of the lawsuit as evidence that the underlying accusations must have merit. Filing a lawsuit proves that someone filed a lawsuit. Sending a cease-and-desist proves that someone sent a letter. Calling someone dangerous does not make them dangerous. And none of it explains why two Pennsylvania single mothers were treated as though they were obstructing a Tennessee missing-child investigation. Sebastian deserves coverage centered on: Where is he? And what can still be done to find him. He does not deserve to have his name used as legal ammunition in creator drama. The most disturbing part is that Brittney can now sit through an entire stream carefully explaining that civil allegations remain unproven while apparently never recognizing how reckless it was to help attach Sebastian’s name to accusations against unrelated critics. Accountability for government agencies? If the allegations were true - yes Reviewing Seth’s lawsuits? Fair enough. Demanding unquestioning loyalty, targeting anyone critical of her coverage or Seth, and suggesting Pennsylvania YouTubers may have “blood on their hands” if a Tennessee child remains missing? That is not spreading awareness for the missing and it is definitely not advocacy. That is intimidation wearing a green-heart costume. But please remember to hit the like button, become a member, send a super chat, or bypass YouTube’s 30 percent through PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo. 🙄 Because apparently even a six-hour missing-child discussion needs several grifting breaks. A few things I'd like to add: Youtubers are NOT investigators - They need to STOP playing investigator! Stop using Sebastian, his case, and his family in creator drama/feuds!

  I've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!
