  I should also mention because they asked for more back than what they sent, I’m still $5 negative and can’t close my account bc of that, but also am restricted so I cannot put money in my account to fix the negative balance?? What sense does this make PayPal?

  @deobimom They added Google Pay (I think since PayPal was NOT working) and it works, but also if you have a Wise account you can do the bank transfer option and it works.

  Is Circle Actually in Trouble? Our Read on the OUSD Launch On June 30th, while Jeremy Allaire was on stage at Goldman Sachs' Digital Assets conference in London talking about "the future of money," Open Standard announced the launch of OUSD, a dollar stablecoin backed by 149 partners. Two days later, Circle's stock ($CRCL) dropped 18% in a single session, now down roughly 76% from its June 2025 high. Does that mean Circle is done for? Here's our read, in six points, including Jeremy Allaire's direct response. 1. Circle's paradox: usage is up, margins are collapsing USDC has never been doing better: roughly $77 billion in circulation, up nearly 20% since the IPO. The problem is that Circle's revenue has only grown 5.5% over the same period, and net margin has collapsed over three quarters, falling from 29% to 8%. The explanation fits in one line: roughly 94% of Circle's revenue comes from interest earned on reserves (mostly T-bills). The market isn't pricing USDC usage, it's pricing Circle's ability to monetize that usage. And that ability is eroding: growing revenue-sharing with distributors (Coinbase chief among them), Binance suspending services in Europe over a missing MiCA license (after Circle had paid for USDC's distribution on the platform), and removal from several Russell Growth indexes in late June. The timing of OUSD couldn't be worse. 2. OUSD: the issuer model, redistributed to the ecosystem Open Standard has assembled a rare lineup: Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Google, Stripe and Shopify on the TradFi side; Coinbase, Aave, Bybit, OKX, Plasma and Tempo on the crypto side. Neither Circle, Tether, nor Paxos are part of it. The pitch is simple and direct: zero minting and redemption fees, with nearly all reserve yield passed back to the partners who adopt and use the stablecoin. In other words, OUSD is attacking the exact revenue line that keeps legacy issuers alive. 3. What Circle still has going for it Circle's regulatory moat is still the one that cannot be beaten, for now: the first global issuer to reach full MiCA compliance back in July 2024, conditional OCC approval for a national trust bank charter in the US, money transmitter licenses across 46 US states. That's years of groundwork a consortium doesn't replicate with a press release. On the integrations side, USDC remains the settlement asset for BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund, was just added to BNY Mellon's digital custody platform (itself an OUSD partner...), and stays the default collateral on regulated US and European trading venues. Circle remains the go-to for institutions wanting a regulated dollar backed by nearly a decade of audit history. But a shrinking moat is still a shrinking moat. 4. Jeremy Allaire's response: network effects as the real defense Facing a wave of questions from his investor community, Circle's CEO published a detailed rebuttal that's worth taking seriously rather than dismissing as crisis PR. His core thesis: stablecoin networks are platform businesses built on network effects, established over long periods, that tend toward winner-take-most market structures. He lays out three layers he says protect USDC: - Application-layer network effects: every developer integration strengthens the network, which in turn attracts more integrations. Circle has been building this ecosystem for nearly a decade, with infrastructure like CCTP and Gateway extending interoperability to new chains, including permissioned L2s and government-built networks. - Liquidity network effects: Allaire claims USDC sits in the top 3 most liquid digital assets in the world, alongside BTC and USDT, with the next closest dollar stablecoins roughly 10x smaller in liquidity, often concentrated in a single exchange's promotional books. - Regulatory and banking integration: the states USDC is currently the only major global stablecoin available across all of Europe and Japan, backed by nearly a decade of investment in global banking, treasury and liquidity management. He backs this with a striking data point: in Q1 2026, according to Artemis, USDC handled nearly $30 trillion in on-chain transactions, 80% of all dollar stablecoin transaction volume, versus 20% for USDT, and under 0.5% combined for everyone else, OUSD included at this stage. On the substance of OUSD's pitch, Allaire pushes back point by point: - On free minting and redemption: he notes the entire payments industry runs on small basis-point fees, and that unlimited free redemptions tend to collide with market realities, something Circle says it already addresses through contractual mechanisms rather than a blanket fee exemption. - On passing all revenue back to partners: Circle says it already shares the majority of its revenue with distribution partners, while retaining enough to keep investing in infrastructure. Giving everything away, he argues, is a recipe for structural underinvestment and a platform that stays limited in scope. -On consortium governance: the sharpest point in the piece. Allaire repeats, almost verbatim, a line he'd already made publicly: that large groups of large companies coordinate poorly, have misaligned incentives, and tend to starve their own consortium out of self-interest. He states Circle itself tried this model in USDC's early days and ran into the same problems. He closes by reaffirming that the Coinbase partnership remains as strong as ever, that several OUSD founding members remain major USDC partners, and that Circle continues expanding its own ecosystem (Arc, CPN, StableFX, Agent Stack) by working with dozens of other stablecoin issuers, his way of signaling Circle doesn't feel threatened in its role as infrastructure. 5. Why OUSD hasn't won anything yet Recent history for consortium-backed stablecoins argues for caution, and echoes Allaire's own point. USDG (Paxos, with Kraken, Robinhood, and Galaxy among its backers) is plateauing around $3 billion. PYUSD (PayPal) took two and a half years to approach $4 billion, then shrank by a third from its peak. A big announcement doesn't make an adoption curve. Three questions remain open: governance across a 149-member consortium, historically slow and prone to misaligned incentives; the viability of a model with no fees and no retained yield; and, above all, the end user, since the yield flows to partners, not holders. Why hold OUSD rather than USDC or USDT? The answer will hinge on incentives, and on that front, we're watching Plasma and Tempo (Stripe's chain) closely as the two most likely launch rails. 6. Tether, watching calmly from the sidelines With over $180 billion in USDT circulating, Tether dominates territory OUSD isn't primarily targeting: Tron, P2P payments and remittances in emerging markets, trading collateral in Asia. The threat is real for Circle; at this stage, far less so for Tether. Our takeaway The real story here isn't "Circle vs. OUSD," it's the structural compression of issuance margins. Allaire's response, however well-argued, doesn't refute that point so much as reframe it: his thesis is that network effects and liquidity matter more than distributed yield, and that Circle can afford to share revenue as long as it stays the default rail. That's a defensible position, but it still has to prove itself against a consortium that, for the first time, aligns distributors and infrastructure rather than pitting them against each other. Reserve yield, the economic core of stablecoins, is being redistributed. The question is no longer whether, but to whom: distributors, chains, partners, or end users. For allocators, that's arguably good news: more competition among issuers means more value captured by whoever brings the liquidity and the usage. At Gami Capital, where we run on-chain USDC strategies day to day, we'll be watching liquidity migrations and the opportunities this new landscape creates closely.

  @PorraDeene @TheCryptoSquire The issue isn't adoption friction—it's that most merchants prefer instant settlement over volatility hedging. Stablecoins solve this but then you're just using faster PayPal.

  @NoLimitGains PayPal’s stock is at the same price it was in 2016. Revenue is up 207%. Profit is up 271%. Everyone reads that and assumes the stock is cheap. The market is saying something different. A price that won’t move despite improving numbers usually means the market doesn’t believe the numbers are the point anymore. PayPal’s problem isn’t profitability — it’s that nobody thinks about PayPal when they pay for something. Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo. The business got bigger while the brand got quieter. Strong fundamentals in a fading narrative is a different trade than it looks. #Stocks #Markets

Look at the vision, the success and transparancy and the facts of what this man is truly about and why the extra zeros matter. Elon could drop a million dollars at my feet and walk away and I am the poor MF that would chase him down to give it back and ask WTF just out of curiousity. Obviously I am an Elon fan and have been since his PayPAl days.

  @greatvaultbeck I’d really like to see proof that you were scammed because you paid on this site. (Personally, I pay via PayPal and haven’t had any problems; when paying by card, as with any website, there’s a small chance you might get hacked – it’s happened with Amazon 👀😭) Go on your private message please 🙏 🤝

  On a serious note If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. On a serious note I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too! On a serious note Wh Smith has your scheduled for tomorrow I don't know the time yet. I'm working for tactic from 6:00 to 10:00 tomorrow evening. I could work today but I already put it up over my X I was going to be in The Castro. No disrespect.

  @FedericoBa71889 @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So he didn't create it, he funded it with generational wealth earned from his parents who are in mining. But even then: Outside of America PayPal was never that popular. Tesla makes terrible vehicles and electric vehicles are worse for the environment currently.

  The Classic Playbook Bait (The Hook) They post mouth-watering food pics/videos + Complaints about high prices. Offer “half price”, “first meal free/taco free”, or “I’ll order it for you cheaper”. Use friendly animal persona or helpful vibe to build quick trust. Post on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook — often cross-promoting the same content. The Ask Tell you to DM them to “place the order”. They quote a discounted price. Request payment via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal “friends/family”, crypto, or gift cards (methods with little/ no buyer protection). The Execution Once you pay → They either: Ghost you completely (take the money and disappear). Send fake tracking or “order placed” screenshots. Claim “restaurant issue” and ask for more money. Occasionally deliver one small thing (the “free” first order) to hook you for bigger payments later. They use stolen accounts or newly created ones to stay under the radar. Why it works so well People are hungry + frustrated with prices. “First one free” lowers defenses. Looks like a helpful small side hustle. Scammers rotate accounts quickly before reports pile up. Red Flags Specific to These Scams Brand new account with few followers. No real business website or verifiable info. Pushes DM payments instead of official apps. Vague about how they get the deals (“I have connections”). Avoids showing real recent proof (timestamped receipts + deliveries). Real-World Impact Victims lose $20–$100+ per “order”. Many lose hundreds chasing “refunds” or second orders. Scammers often use the money for gift cards/crypto that’s hard to trace. How to Protect Yourself & Others Only order through official restaurant apps or established delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.). If a deal sounds too good and requires paying a random person → it’s a scam. Report the accounts. Share this breakdown when you see suspicious “cheap food” posts.

  @senortilt @TiltRips Hi @tiltedben, I'm having an issue with withdrawals. I added my PayPal details, but the platform is only showing the option to connect a US bank through Coinflow. I'm from India, so I can't use a US bank account. Could you please let me know if PayPal withdrawals are supported for Indian users or if there's another withdrawal method available? Thank you!

  ok so I love my bff so much, I have to tell this story. I was feeling awful 2 weeks ago because I was 2 days late on rent and I had no new comms and I was panicking and I'm just disheartened cuz I think my art is **** cuz nobody wants to order and idk what else to do, and I was having.... unaliving thoughts...so i msged her about it. After giving me an extensive pep talk and me getting some nice compliments on a forum (where ofc I also complained) I calmed down. Then i receive in a server where I had posted about 5-10$ chibi sketch comms if anyone's interested, and i get a msg from an user there. she orders a 10$ chibi sketch and then pays me through coffee. I check my phone notifications later and see the paypal notification, just to see THE EMAIL OF MY BFF. I bursted into laughter, I don't think she knew I'd see her email, i msged her back and her answer was "god fkn dammit what gave me away" And I'll be honest! I was already weirded out by our similarities when i didn't know who she was and chatting in dms about the chibi she wanted, same dark humor same favorite female protagonists in shows and movies XDDDDDDDDDD Bro I love her so much, I went from 🔪 mood to laughing with tears cuz of that!

  @GrassFedBitcoin And yet activation is no where near where it was at this time with segwit, 0.2% vs 30%. This is because 110 does not have technical consensus and is being rushed through under the guise of an "emergency" with an activation threshold so slow it can only be considered an attack. Bitcoin is permissionless, censorship resistant money, not paypal. Enjoy your bcash jr fork.
