  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  @klose_alfred @tc_xcx @tc_xcx do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he told me he'd spoil me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  Fun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.

  Two payments stocks. Nearly the same share price. Completely opposite bets. $PYPL: $42, 7.9x earnings. $FOUR: $39, 45x earnings. Same sector, same ~$40 sticker price — but the market pays ~6x more per dollar of profit for Shift4 than for PayPal. Both got hit today ($PYPL -3.6%, $FOUR -5.2%), but Shift4’s down 64% from its high vs. 47% for PayPal. So which would you rather own at $40: the slow giant priced for death, or the fast grower still at a premium after a 64% crash?

  @AskPayPal + URGENT: @AskPayPal I am locked out of my PayPal account and cannot access my funds. SMS verification stopped working after password reset and I am stuck on login security check. Please escalate this case.

  Drew Mia Winters as a mannequin laying on the basement table faceup. I also posted this as a product (a print) on my website, but the shop section isnt loading when I click on it as I write this. Maybe my site's shop section cant handle the load its getting?! Whatever, but thanks for looking. I think if people would eventually be interested in buying a few prints from me, I'd just ask them for their order and send them an invoice through paypal and do it that way. I don't understand why the websites I make keep getting problems. ughh

  It’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.

  @vexmlk @MrNameless_666 @PayPal did you not have an issue with donators issuing chargebacks and putting you into debt?

  @juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

  @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.

  @codeofvets @GretchenPSmith @PayPal How does PayPal even stay in business? With all of the problems people have faced with them especially the hacked accounts, and all of the fraudulent messages, it’s hard to believe that they have much of a customer base anymore. Haven’t used them in years, and never again.

  Uhh, so I have a problem…I tried to set up a PayPal account for Ko-Fi, but PayPal immediately flagged my account with suspicious activity as soon as I made it. I don't have an ID. What ******** do I do???

  @NoLimitGains Lol, I hate that stock. I still own a bunch but it's down 70 or 80 percent since I was a retard and bought it. PayPal is dying, regardless of ita fundamentals.

  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal I can't Imagine how or why here, and what happens to the funds? Can you at least retrieve them? I know, not the point but, screw them, if they can't fix the issue transfer to another platform. You have my prayers in this

  @eventbrite using your mobile app and paying via PayPal is literally impossible. You can't enter your PayPal details because the screen jumps up and down as and when the keyboard screen comes into and out at the same time, its basically playing wackamole with my fingers 😭
