  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 is an actual intelligence.

  @natmiletic @claudeai This is more of a @stripe problem because the subscription relationship is one-sided. It's the same with invoicing - I have vendors I have to email every single month to beg for a manual invoice via email, for years, and I've posted about that a dozen times. In Revolut or PayPal, you can cancel or block your subscription in your payment account. With your bank, you can call and ask to block that within 10 minutes. With Stripe tickets, it may or may not happen in a week or 4.

  Honestly.. what are people protesting about? - the ordinary people struggling to get by - the dollar crisis - BML card limits - small businesses unable to pay suppliers online - people struggling to pay netflix or buy basic items online - medicine shortages - passport printing issues - a country that was B- two years ago now celebrating CCC- junk status.. And please.. Muizzu did not pay debt from his own pocket. Did he print dollars in Dhimyaath? The economy was carried by tourism ... record receipts, resorts, guesthouses, airport workers, boat crews, room boys .. and then the industry was forced to exchange dollars!! As for PayPal, congratulations. Maldives finally discovered 2005 !!

  Looking good. No humidity sensor data. This was because I purposefully damaged sensor to simulate a component failure and if it would cause issues. Turns out, as expected, it does not. All other sensors stay online. We build these. This is what your SuperChats, channel memberships, PayPal tips, GoFundMe donations, etc go to. It's all right here.

  BREAKING: @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.

  @catturd2 I was actually in the middle of helping a homeless veteran living in his van. As you can see I sent him $500. I was able to send him $500 twice. I was trying to get him $2K total but Paypal would not authorize the transactions and then decided to permanently shut down my account!!! Therefore half of his funds are locked down! Unbelievable!!! I have used Paypal for years to get emergent funds to veterans!

  @TippeTyYay @BrettSlagh @GianmarcoSoresi By all accounts Musk actually works on the rocket engineering. That’s from people who were there from before and during SpaceX’s early days. Yes, his value is far greater than the people who do the collective engineering, because he decides what the company works on. Before SpaceX was founded private launch was deemed a great way for a rich guy to lose a lot of money. The engine test site SpaceX uses in MacArthur Texas was purchased from Andy Beal, who had more money than Musk when SpaceX bought it from him. Money does not solve problems. Execution does. When Musk decided that SpaceX was going to build a re-usable rocket booster it was derided by other launch companies as an absurd pursuit. That the maximum number of satellites that would need to be launched every year topped out at around 25. SpaceX now does that every 2.5 days on average. They said it would require 12 re-uses before it would break even. SpaceX now has a booster that has flown 35 times. It is absolute jackassery to claim you have any right to what was created out of nothing, and I emphasize created, because goobers like you use language like taken. The money NASA/the government has spent on SpaceX has been more than offset by the amount of money they have saved by SpaceX’s existence. A net positive return to taxpayers. Yes, Musk’s contributions are worth more than 1000x of the collective efforts of the engineers working at SpaceX, for which they were compensated, because he’s the guy deciding what they work on and more than a few times he’s been told “we can’t do that” by his engineers and his response is “we will do that” and doing that is why it’s trading at $2.7T. What you people do is claim to be “good” by desiring to take (not create, take) the efforts of someone else and redistributing it to others. You talk about taking and think that makes you morally superior. It makes you a bad person, and worse than that a bad person that thinks the bad thing you’re doing is good. Since leaving PayPal Musk has done basically nothing but spend his money on ideas that were deemed stupid when they were started. There are people whose entire income is derived by calling those ideas stupid until they aren’t anymore and then they call the next idea stupid and continue to make money. When they go from being stupid to becoming valuable you believe you have claim to the outcome. You ******* suck. A lot.

  @Safaricom_Care Kindly work on your Mpesa-Paypal Linkage app. The dashboard panel with the balance shows a different conversion rate from the actual conversion rate that's effected when one makes the withdrawal to Mpesa. That discrepancy results into high loss logistical errors.
