  @s0_sm0l Yeahhh. Their account was just like yours so my gullible *** thought it was either a glitch or an alt for dms. Paypal wasn't letting me send them the money so I sent a steam gift card to their email. I'm okay and I can definitely recover from this but it kinda sucks!

  I still do not see the use case for Bitcoin. It's not secret once your public key is known as all transaction history is visible in the blockchain. From a utility standpoint, I already have electronic money used in everyday transactions. It's called PayPal. With border guards now routinely unlocking and searching peoples mobile devices, the idea that you can cross borders and take wealth with you secretly is an illusion, too. The scarcity argument is also a straw man. Just because something is scarce doesn't make it intrinsically valuable or useful. Folks point to the value of a "proof of work" or the energy consumed in "mining" bitcoin. This would be like saying that a table is more valuable because someone sanded it by hand instead of using a power sander. Just because it's hard doesn't make the outcome more valuable. I've interviewed many Europeans who survived WW2. What was valuable in war are gold and diamonds. In SHTF with the grid and networks down, how are you going to exchange that Bitcoin without access to the blockchain server network? Bartering in gold, silver, ammunition or other things of value will be more useful.

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.

  @PayPal 😪😪 My account has been operational for over one year now. Receiving payments almost weekly, just because I've received the highest payment so far, and it is not scam money, it is legit money, you decide to permanently take down my account.

  @AndreaTaz4ever2 Unfortunately, I’m having some trouble with the PayPal. I put in a test amount tried to send it to you and was told that my device wasn’t recognized. With PayPal my device is always recognized. Unfortunately I’m not going to change my password or put in any other bank or credit card information. Not saying you did it or up to anything but having trouble.

  @AirbnbHelp urgent safety/billing issue. Reservation HM888ACCSH checks in tomorrow, Aug 3 at 3 PM. System glitched and billed wrong account. PayPal dispute PP-R-HWC-639909781 is open. Phone agents have repeatedly hung up on me and dropped me into dead mailboxes. I need a corporate case manager to take over this file and issue a payment update link immediately before I am denied service at the hotel.

  @mitchellvii I lost my PayPal card because I never use it. My credit score went down one point, came back up again. I stopped using because I use Apple wallet. Also the way PayPal bills, if you do use it, is ridiculous. It is easy to forget or overlook. To me, it was just unnecessary bill to remember. I don’t miss it.

  🇺🇦 Lorelei, your donation ********** (@Lorelei_0502) reported 38 minutes ago

  @PaasoMinna @BooBookBooze Sorry, I don't buy this. I’ve run collections with other people in the past, and the PayPal account we used provided updates several times a day with all transactions. We knew exactly how much was donated and by whom. After payments were made, invoices and bank transfer confirmations were shared in the chat. Becky claims she knew nothing, but she did know about the stroke. My biggest issue with her is that she silenced someone who was asking questions and bullied her into deleting screenshots of Dmitro’s wife’s luxury lifestyle back in Jan 2026. That person was tagging some of those who supported him, but they immediately blocked her and pressured her into staying silent.

  Why does X Money pay out so much at 6% APY? It's not a scam but it is bait. Cross River Bank makes its money the usual way and their profit margin is like 5% they can't sustain that + other payouts like 3% cashback. Instead, X Payments LLC which offers the X Money fintech product, is subsidizing the rate. While that's a lot of money, the CAC (customer acquisition cost) is far lower than what other neobank and fintech costs are because they have the X ecosystem behind building the userbase. 6% won't last but it's nice incentive for moving money. Why use it? While I have huge issues with the safety of having an account tied to your X account that can be canceled any time Nikita gets hangry, and I think it creates a stressful conflict of interest for creators "toe the moving line or else". as a tool for driving economic growth on X it has value and still seems better than letting PayPal or someone take your money. Transactions between users are instantaneous and single-bank and only handles are disclosed, it's in-app integrated, high FDIC coverage of $10M versus normal $250k, global free ATM use (reimbursed), early DD, no foreign transaction fees, and the card itself is physically secure with no printed numbers, no raised numbers, no cvv on the back, no magstripe, just your name and encrypted comms via chip/RFID. You can access that info or use a virtual credit card number/cvv/exp at any time by generating it in the app. Why not use it? X gets mad you said a hurty word, closes your account, and mails you the balance... Soft blackmail, do what they want you to do or lose your access. Outside of X, no payment processing available like a virtual POS or shopping cart and chargeback/fraud protection for sellers. For X users who want to conduct transactions on the platform it's a solid choice of methods that avoid creating some platform crypto token or other risky system and it avoids the regulatory/taxation uncertainty and exchange problems of crypto while still providing some anonymity and the means to conduct transfers. The question of whether you want one is purely personal. Do you want a cool stainless steel card with no built-in stupid? Do you think you might like to shuffle money around on X? If you're already a subscriber then that incentive money is your money, why not get some of it back as payment for giving their startup a chance? I've received 10% of my subscription fee back in 'rewards' already and haven't even used the card yet so it's not like it cost me anything to try it out but I won't be storing cash on it since I can literally be banned for no reason by mass report abuse or something I'll never trust it.

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 50 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several jury duty scams that occur across Pasco County. Oftentimes, the scammer claims to be an official, sometimes using PSO and/or a PSO member’s name, to inform the potential victim that they’ve missed jury duty and must pay a fee. These payments are made via PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and similar services. Scammers may use a blocked number or spoof a PSO number, such as our general information line. PSO does not manage jury duty notifications, and we stress that these messages are not legitimate. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise.

  @maldives_lexi Because she was the oversight. Angela Kohl wasn’t just the bookkeeper, she was the sole paid staffer, the executive director, and the person with total control of the accounts, working from home. No second set of eyes. No dual-signature requirement. No independent monthly review by the board. Just one person with the login credentials to a charity whose entire reason for existing is to help kids who already lost a parent. That’s how $118k quietly walks out the door over 18 months into a personal PayPal. When the only person “watching the books” is the one emptying them, “oversight” is just a word on a form.

  @LuisBizarro I don’t understand how these legacy companies are still alive. Every time I even try to login to eBay, it gives me so much friction where I just give up and close the tab. Every PayPal account I’ve had has been hacked.

  CryptoD₿S (@DbsCrypto) reported 1 hour ago

  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.

  E get one method I was using to create PayPal accounts last year. Link bank to it and use it without issues. Let me try it again and see, if it works, I will share how to do it. Instead of selling your hard earned survey funds to dealers at a low rate, you will learn how to create your own PayPal account and withdraw your money at official rate to your Nigerian bank account. Small small, I will give you everything you need to be self sufficient online. It will take time, but you will definitely get it from me. P.S: image is not mine. Random screenshot from Twitter here.
