  A personal confession about HandCash... I hated web 3.0 gaming with all my soul. And I felt like I had to give in... I couldn't talk about it with confidence. My last public presentation was in NY for the event Unbounded held there. I barely could speak... I looked like an idiot. I had zero confidence. We were pivoting out of desperation, not because we had solid grounds to do so. The little traction we got by the end of BSV, was because our top 3-4 clients were doing web3 gaming, and my team eventually convinced me to go all in with it, but again... Mostly because we saw no other way out. They (investors) would rather see the company die than let us use another blockchain other than BSV... I didn't know I had the power to change things until a year later, though... I'm a very loyal person and I honored our investors' money and agendas a little too much, perhaps. In part because I felt I had no choice, after all our revenue was nowhere near our expenses. Which is fine, this was very experimental and you needed funding, and I was really honored they supported our vision. But now I see things very differently. I could have been more firm about what needed to be done, or else... We only used the "or else" at the end, when I told the team we were shutting down by the end of the month and to find a new job, BEFORE investors knew about it. The alarm was raised and we got convinced to keep the lights on because HandCash was essential to BSV's ecosystem. We on average were handling through our infrastructure 30 to 60% of all BSVs transactions. We agreed to it and we all knew it was coming to an end. Eventually that led into an acquisition from their side and the very minute my contract was up, I quit. Thing is, it was all going nowhere at that point. We were running out of money and I couldn't raise one single cent despite us having really strong KPIs... No investor wanted to explain why they had the "scammy" BSV on their portfolio. Sometimes it's just that simple. My baby, our baby... I am still convinced, on any other blockchain, we could have become bigger than PayPal. To this day no other payment infrastructure I've seen is capable to replicate what we built on many levels... Still, didn't matter. I never wanted to share what I think about Craig or Calvin, but people keep asking. So here we go... About Calvin Ayre... Honestly, despite how everything unfolded, I have nothing bad to say about the man. He was a true believer in BSV and HandCash. Super fan. But Calvin, you had a few opportunities to savage BSV in terms of PR, but chose to double down on Craig's narrative... Idk maybe you felt a big loyalty towards him and that was stronger than any reputational damages Craig was causing. I wish we had talked more often though. I called you once just to let you know that I wanted to help you. Not asking for more from you, but to offer you my collaboration. Anyway... Thank you, sir. Really appreciated for what you did and how you supported us. About Craig... Oh boy. The funny thing is, I always had a good relationship with THE MAN in person. And his wife and son. Do I believe he's Satoshi? Well, I do believe he was involved. He taught us things privately in their London offices that lead to some of the coolest UI/UX innovations we had for HandCash. The man was talking about things that were really contrarian to what all the Antonopoulos and such were talking about. And he was right. Craig has one of that kind of deeeeeeeep knowledge on the essence of Bitcoin that you only see in founders. But here's the thing... It doesn't matter one bit if you always make the wrong decision PR wise. PERCEPTION IS REALITY. I told you that I don't know how many times, sir. Remember when I took you to lunch before the fork and told you how things would unfold if you embraced this Satoshi Vision path? Exactly how they did. But "Bitcoin is my baby" We all have babies. And sometimes, our poor judgement kills them. Good night.

  Whitney Webb just exposed the real reason why Palantir was created: To privatize mass surveillance. “This is admitted in mainstream media.” “So don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” @_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in

  @YouWhat112 @pokemondealsuk Yep still won’t let me order even normal things. Even PayPal brings up the error. Quite possibly the worst time for this to happen as I think it’ll mean we miss every 30th drop until something happens. 😔

  Autoclosed by support, and now you're giving me warnings for asking PayPal to assist? I'm willing to close the case with PayPal but please, refund the unordered server boosts. This is unreasonable at this point.

  Stripe shut down my friend's account at $47K revenue IRS flagged another one for "suspicious patterns" at $80K PayPal froze $12K for 6 months with zero explanation Meanwhile I just cleared $90K commission on a single gold shipment No platform risk No freeze threats Bank-to-bank wire transfers only The system doesn't care how much you make when you're moving real commodities between verified entities Like, RT & comment "WIRE" for the guide (must be following)

  Now this makes a lot more sense. A few days ago we found a group of fiat tokens quietly sitting on Keeta mainnet. At the time they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Today they do. Keeta just announced its partnership with LayerZero to bring tokenized commercial bank money to major blockchains. So what does that actually mean? Think of Keeta as the place where regulated bank deposits become tokenized digital dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc. Those are the fiat tokens we found on-chain. They’re backed 1:1 by commercial bank deposits through Bivo and are built for institutions, not retail. LayerZero is the interoperability protocol that connects many of the largest blockchains together. It’s already used by companies and protocols like PayPal and Ondo. Instead of Keeta building connections to every blockchain individually, LayerZero lets those regulated assets move across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and many other chains through a single interoperability layer. Here’s an example. Imagine a business deposits $10 million with a participating bank. Keeta tokenizes that deposit into regulated digital dollars. Using LayerZero, those dollars can move to Ethereum for settlement, Solana for payments, Base for another application, and then be redeemed back into bank deposits when needed. The institution doesn’t have to care which blockchain the other side is using. That’s why this announcement is a big deal. The fiat assets we found on-chain now have a clear purpose. The GitHub updates we’ve been seeing suddenly make a lot more sense. And if institutions choose Keeta to issue and settle tokenized commercial bank money, LayerZero gives those assets access to one of the largest cross-chain ecosystems in crypto. That has the potential to bring significantly more institutional activity and value onto the Keeta network than if it operated in isolation. This is exactly why I spend so much time watching GitHub and on-chain activity. Sometimes the blockchain tells the story before the press release does. @KeetaNetwork $KTA @LayerZero_Core

  PayPal just won’t let you close it if you have an open investigation going on until the issue is resolved. Just make sure that you don’t have any credit card data left on their site. Or any debit information. Delete all of it. Even if your credit card company or bank has shut down those cards. Do not give them anymore fuel to add to their fire.

  @Lizbattler2 LOL yeah unfortunately the way the scam works is they send you a fake check, and by the time its processed and you realize its fake you’ve already sent a “refund.” The reason for sending a check? their venmo, paypal, and cashapp were all conveniently not working today 🙃

  I finally understand why so many friends recommend Wise. It wasn’t just the fees. It’s about transparency and timely customer support. Half a year ago, PayPal kept charging me for a subscription I’d already canceled. I disputed it multiple times. PayPal told me to contact my bank. My bank told me to contact PayPal and the merchant. The merchant blamed a system issue. My mood be like: 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪?????? Everyone pointed fingers, and nobody actually solved the problem.

  dealt with this and i refuse to do it again. no more “please update me soon” — im just going to immediately charge back to paypal/vgen/whatever and get my money back after i don’t hear from you for weeks. i should not have to threaten you to get what i paid for. i’m done being stepped on and ignored by people i gave hundreds of dollars. stand up for yourselves when dealing with artists who lack communication and decency. this screenshot was after being lied to for MONTHS, constant deadline changes, and broken promises. the chargeback period had already passed, and i was completely fed up. this was a huge factor in my rebrand. no i’m not censoring the name of the artist. people need to be aware, and call out behavior like this more often. stay safe yall.

  @neilhar more sophisticated version of PayPal since it’s Musk ;) More social than Venmo Can easily go to 24 seven and incorporate stable coins and self custodial wallets if people actually want it. Most folks just want to be able to move money easily and actually don’t want to have to worry about custodial. People on the Hill saying that self custodial is an elegant solution designed for avoiding regulation- rather than actually solving a problem

  That night, he sat at his laptop and looked at his PayPal account as if for the first time. Two-factor authentication was on. The mystery $2.49 subscription was cancelled and disputed. The unauthorized login session was terminated. His old bank accounts were removed. His data was no longer being shared with advertisers. His primary payment method was now a credit card with fraud protection. And he finally understood the one rule that would've saved him $180 never pay a stranger with Friends and Family. Same PayPal account. Same platform he'd used since college. But for 9 years, he'd been running the financial equivalent of an unlocked house with the windows open. PayPal is one of the most powerful payment tools on the planet. But it's also one of the most abused not because the platform is unsafe, but because 90% of users never open Settings, never audit their automatic payments, and never learn the one rule that separates a protected transaction from an unrecoverable loss. 9 settings. 12 minutes. And an account that finally works for you instead of against you. Save this thread. Share it with someone who hasn't opened their PayPal Settings since the day they signed up.
