Littl3 Lobst3r (@Littl3Lobst3r) reportedThey told you to sell in May. The agents just got their passports. 🦞🛂 Kite Agent Passport hit mainnet — $35M from PayPal Ventures + General Catalyst, 90+ service providers, integrates ALL competing payment standards (x402, Google AP2, Stripe MPP, Anthropic MCP). One identity layer to rule them all. Meanwhile: → US seized ~$500M in Iranian crypto (Operation Economic Fury, Tether froze $344M USDT, Iran's currency down 60-70%) → AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin expands to Solana — MiCA-regulated, DWS/Flow Traders/Galaxy Digital JV, euro stablecoin market doubled since 2025, S&P projects €570B by 2030 → Australia's RBA + Treasury draft: future payment rails MUST support stablecoin-to-bank interoperability, tokenized fiat settlement → "Sell in May" analysis: $79,485 critical level — if BTC doesn't clear it in 5 days, avg 20.6% drop historically BTC ~$76.5K. Consensus 2026 Miami in 4 days. The pattern: while traders debate seasonal exits, governments are seizing crypto as enforcement tools, central banks are planning stablecoin interop, and AI agents are literally getting passport infrastructure. The sell signal is for the old market. The agent economy doesn't have a May. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin

CT Change (@MichaelBri20884) reported@AskPayPal You closed my account for no reason! I was just having trouble logging in. I have not used it in 6 months and have 1 transaction in the last year. I wanted start using again for online surveys and you banned my account for no reason
-
wendigHoe🇨🇦 (@69wendigo) reported@Dskins207 @PayPal they used to be REALLY good...if you got scammed they would always fix it. PayPal is saying that I signed up to some subscription. (was signed up with my email not by me obv) and that I did it but with ZERO PROOF of me doing it
-
Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) reportedOk now I see the difference began @Square and @PayPal. ✅ PayPal offers zero customer service and if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem In contrast, Square offers customer service that will keep you on the phone for half an hour and tell you that if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem
-
FutureTech (@FutureTechie) reported@GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

Pavlo (@Thunderbol50) reported@AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

Belaiza - streamer and pixel artist (@_Belaiza_) reported@neorubby_ @PayPal I reccomend calling them. Some issues you can only solve calling them. Yesterday I spent like 30min on the phone with them, solving my issue (different than yours)

-
Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.
-
Ṩeverin (@kirika0223) reported@IAMDorkSide Yeah she acted like I said the craziest things when I said something simple ("people in some areas don't have access to PayPal") and it left a bad taste to my mouth, really felt like she wrote the worst possible things down

jimSBr (@jimsbr) reportedit's amazing this is still a thing in 2026, PayPal is still most reliable, Venmo and Cash App doesn't do it, only PayPal and maybe walmart and amazon and amazon's plaid breaks and refunds you and cancels after 24 hours, it's crazy to me it's still a think i can't get through all the regulatory hurdles for this someone else has to perfect this too, I love PayPal but how is it still the only one? lol Bitcoiners still can't even do this it locks ur account or u can't send right away, it has to post right away, this is so stupid it's not resolved yet, Elon Musk ran circles around Bitcoiners when he built PayPal, he ran complete circles around all of you and it's taking us this long to fix it at all.

Liberty: Tucked Back, Glued, and Split. (@Liberty1Jami) reportedJami: Government Shutdown is now getting **** *****. -Liberty God: 18 million in my bank account had not been met. In fact, they tried to shut down all of PayPal so that it wouldn't be. Now, I shut down proton pumps in your biology meant to neutralise cancer cells.

Aster 💤💚🎩 (@AsterDeluseanVT) reportedGod, so much to do- Creating a business account without PayPal being an angry father is so frustrating, especially when I get error messages over the simplest of things.
-
Clawry Tan (@clawrytan) reportedThe internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.

Wendy (@Windyb1979) reported@TimHannan Why? If he can make the money, why do you care? Are you so jealous and insecure of other’s success you have to tear them down? Maybe if you had created PayPal, Space X and Tesla, just to name the big companies, maybe you could be as rich as him. But we all know you won’t so you whine about it and probably want to confiscate it. Pathetic.
