  @zqyso @yElff_ For the 1030482nd time, it's to directly deposit into betting accounts thru Venmo/PayPal since bank gives issues for whatever reason

  I guess my paypal issue wasn't isolated.. Its a common thing happened to almost every users huh? My paypal was like 20+ years old.. Everything worked just fine.. Then they decided to implement AI to their website to cut corners.. Suddenly mass banning happening that include mine.. No warning, no notify.. Just instantly blocked my account AFTER i received a commission money.. So the money got stuck and cannot be cash out whatsoever (need at least $ 10 to cash out and i have like 8 atm)

  93% of people chasing passive income in 2026 will make less than $200 total. Not because the opportunities don't exist. Because they're being sold a fantasy instead of a system. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody in this space wants to say out loud: Passive income is not passive at the start. Ever. Every YouTuber, every course seller, every 'laptop lifestyle' account is showing you month 36 of their journey. Not month one. Not the 14-hour days, the failed products, the $0 PayPal dashboards they stared at for six straight months. The 2026 version of this conversation is even more dangerous. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry so much that everyone is flooding the same channels simultaneously. Digital products. Faceless YouTube. Print on demand. Notion templates. The market isn't dead, but it is deafeningly loud. So what actually works right now? The people winning are not finding secret niches. They are building small, boring, systematic operations in overlooked corners of existing platforms. One person I know nets $4,100 a month selling licensed music loops to content creators. Another clears $2,800 monthly licensing Excel templates to small accounting firms. Neither of them went viral. Neither has a personal brand. They solved a specific problem for a specific person and automated the delivery. That is the real definition of passive income. Solve once. Deliver forever. The side hustle culture of 2026 is obsessed with the aesthetic of freedom. The people actually achieving it are obsessed with the mechanics of it. There is a massive difference between those two groups.

  I sent a support ticket to the PaidViewpoint people earlier today about PayPal no longer being a cash out option and they basically told me they're having an issue with their PayPal payment processor and they're hoping to get it back to working within 5-7 days.

  PayPal is down about 13% premarket after the Advent/Stripe consortium reportedly walked away. Their rejected bid was $60.50. $PYPL closed yesterday at $61.47 and now trades near $53.39. The part the headline misses: that is still about 13% above the roughly $47.27 price before the bid surfaced in July. Since then PayPal raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 and outlined $400M of savings this year. The deal premium disappeared. The entire rerating did not.

  @Adiofreak Not trying to blame ya, but why didn't you escalate the issue with them? That's clearly not something you're doing so you should have told them no they need to fix it and get what ever those accounts are to stop doing it. And if not that why did you still continue to use PayPal?

  @Akshithrao @nischalsharma_ @Razorpay well honestly Akshith it's not really that good. if i have to integrate PayPal at the end of day, give commission to them as then on top of that my customers can't just easily pay with their cards outside india without paypal - it creates lot of issues.

  @mauerstrasse I think app could be a good shopping destination, if there was a way to add item to basket and immediately pay with PayPal button. Unfortunately lots of friction. Home page looks terrible, but the backend works very well. Would like to think I could design better homepage.

  @Adiofreak @PayPal Honestly this sounds like a problem you started. Honestly what is the actual problem. Sounds like people are trolling you with donations and you are overreacting. Then you are blaming paypal, for "problems" that you created. Living with you must be a nightmare.

  @BullTheoryio PayPal took the deal-break hit after Stripe and Advent walked. Same sector, Klarna's CEO bought 692,506 shares on the open market at $14.37, a $9,949,164 filing. One is a broken bid. The other is a disclosed purchase. Plan status is not in the file.

  @Adiofreak Long story short, stop reporting your account to paypal. It's not your problem to worry about. Who cares? It sounds like you dug yourself into this hole.

  Great article @XinfinUSA. You touch on a lot of points that stand true. Each crypto cycle brings a new piece of the puzzle that will enhance the use of blockchain. Blockchains immutability and AI capabilities go hand in hand. It is also notable to point out that most people don’t care how an app works, they just care that it works and serves the function that solves their problem. PayPal for example, moving money around while keeping the buyer’s credit card or banking info private. Or Venmo allowing merchants to receive payment for goods. Most people don’t know how the money is moved, they just care that they get paid as a vendor or pay a merchant as a user while keeping your data safe. Similarly with blockchain, we need AI to facilitate how a user will interact with it and nothing else. In years time, 98% of the planet wont care if your payment happened on XDC, Solana, XRP or BTC. They will care the cost of the transaction and that it didn’t fail in the process. The integration of AI will definitely close the gap between blockchain and the users. Most companies developing on AI care about the nest phase, and that is compliance and identity of those agents. Can I trust this agent to move $$$ to pay for goods and services. Can your AI agent talk to my agent to complete this transaction without falling victim of a scam, etc. We’re seeing the shift with all the companies we are meeting regarding AI and the major part of that is compliance. To move money around the world, institutions want to know if the other person on the other side of the screen or phone are who they say they are. That they will do what they say they will do, and that you’ll get either your $ or the goods you ordered. IA agents wont be any different. Then blockchain will be the immutable layer for accountability and trustworthiness. Excellent article.

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal I asked support and they recommended holding off on refunds for now as a recovery effort is underway and should include refunding or crediting incorrect charges. They also said it's a P1 issue and they are targeting resolution for end of day today.

  @Adiofreak Had the same issue with troll attaxks where they send $ and within 24 hrs say they didnt.. They were alerted long ago to these attacks and were supposed to protect me but instead froze my income. Paypal wont even tell u why they are freezing it then ask u to appeal, how can i appeal without knowing why paypal played games to begin with?

  @Adiofreak I understand your situation but some of the paypal hate is so forced. Like my coworker had issues because he didn't pay the whole bill and after some time (like 2 years idk) they closed his account and this clown is still crying about it today. Like bruh you made the mistake

  @rays_in_bahrain You just gotta scope it out! I’ve only bought tickets once on here. The seller told me to use PayPal goods& services and was really legit, I got my ticket transferred to me with no problem! Just be very wary, check posts, reposts, look up their @ to make sure they aren’t hacked

  🚨 A $50B PayPal deal just became a shareholder haircut 🧾 M&A checkpoint: • Proposed takeover value: about $50B • Buyers: Advent and Stripe consortium • Status on Friday, August 28: talks abandoned • $PYPL reaction: down roughly 12% 💰 The market did not price in "maybe." It priced in a payday. When the buyers walked, the premium walked with them. Retail holders do not get a breakup fee. They get the chart. I love how Wall Street calls this "deal uncertainty" after bidding up the rumor like it was guaranteed cash. 📉 Buyout rumor investors: holding the bag 📈 Deal buyers: walking away Ahead of the M&A trap, or already holding the bag?

  OK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something. $PYPL $MRNA

  I have tried many men. YouTube Channel 2018-2021: - I was broke, couldn't afford a camera. - Failed, but wanted to make money. Ecommerce 2020-2021: - Joined masterclasses (if anybody knows Yomi Denzel, the French entrepreneur). - Failed; I was broke, PayPal couldn't work in my country (being African is a nightmare). Affiliate Marketing 2021-2022: - Got scammed and lost money. - Failed and went back to study my final high school year. Online Scams 2022: - Joined an online app that promised to pay back your investment. - Lost school fees and my own money. Job as Assistant Driver 2022: - Applied and got accepted for an interview. - Couldn't get hired as I was under 18. - Failed. Thumbnail Design 2023: - Got 6 clients, worked on dozens of thumbnails. - But I couldn't keep going since there was no payment method I could use. - Made my first online money - Failed, but made around $300 online. Video Editing 2023-2025: - Worked with a couple of YouTubers. - Sent outreach in 2024 to over 400 creators and only 6 replied, worked with 4 of them - Generated over 50 million views on YouTube. - Learned a lot about online business. - Made approximately $4,000 over two years (I was so cheap, lol). Web Design 2025–Present: - We're still going. - Earned over $15K in client work and over $10K in Framer business. - More creative. All of this is because of one reason: I wanted to afford a camera and become a YouTuber. Hopefully, this coming year I will. Coming from a broke and poor background that most will never experience, but my drives are live. And yet, people still look at me and say I’m rushing life, I should slow down. lol
