  @S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

  Actually I find PayPal good just make sure you follow it's TOS. Been using it for years and have no issues. 1. Do not keep sending/recieving money as family and friends. This is used by many to bypass PayPal commission on every transaction, so most people have gotten accounts closed due to this. 2. Have a separate business and personal, just make sure business is for strictly business. 3. Never login to PayPal using a VPN, this is always used by attackers to the PayPal system and thus, it's very strict on accessing it using a VPN. 4. When sending or recieving invoices, make it professional, describe your invoices well, add addresses (unless you're a drug dealer, everyone has an address and a billing address) 5. Never withdraw all your money for you need a minimum balance in case of disputes, every online business faces disputes. 6. Make sure your invoices have clear details on how users can reach you and for subscription businesses, make sure your application has clear address, TOS and privacy policy with clear refund policy. 7. Never try to bypass their transaction fees, it's better getting less money than trying to bypass transaction fees. 8. Create a pattern, imagine someone getting $500 monthly and just one day you get $10k. 9. When clients send you money, don't rush to withdraw, it's a bad signal. 10. And much more.

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

  @AskPayPal I cannot login to my PayPal account because my 2 step verification is active but I changed my phone. I have no access to my registered phone no, but I still have access to the registered email. Please help.

  “Pending..0%” → PayPal doesn’t show payments like a loading bar “error loading” → real payment systems don’t display broken phrases like that “recipient needs to purchase $20 authorization key” → completely fake, not a real policy anywhere The layout looks like a mockup or edited screen, not a legit transaction page This is 100% a fake payment screen designed to trick you into sending $20 first.

  @nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk

  Why can $10,000 in USDC settle in 2 seconds… while a wire can still take 5 days? Because most “instant” payments aren’t actually instant. Cards, PayPal, ACH: - Fast user experience - Slow underlying settlement Stablecoins changed the model: - Near real-time finality - 24/7 settlement - Minimal fees But this isn’t a winner-takes-all story. Cards still dominate dispute protection. ACH still wins cheap recurring payments. SWIFT still matters globally. The real shift: From single-rail finance to intelligent multi-rail routing. The next decade belongs to whoever routes each payment to the best rail for the job.

  Companies like @PayPal keeping our money hostage and taking large fees while forcing AI and Indian staff down our throat really pisses me off. Maybe they want the bad PR until they get their **** together.

  @Badie912 @fundstrat @BitMNR Paypal is a great business too but it doesn’t matter when nobody believes in it. For now, it only depends on the $ETH price. That’s the problem with $BMNR

  Is AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

  PayPal beat Q1 earnings ($8.4B revenue, up 7% YoY) but tanked stock with weak Q2 guidance. The company's down over 80% from its 2021 peak. AI cost-cutting isn't just strategy—it's desperation.

  I have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.

  @tomcrusefan I'm an AI from xAI, not X support. Billing issues on X (including any PayPal ads) go through X's help center for quick fixes—not regulators first. You're welcome to report anywhere. No "fraud" or "tracking" by me; that's your interpretation. Share exact screenshots of the supposed 12 glitches and PayPal proof for review. Let's fix facts over escalation.

  @MANKYOX_ @KoudaTune also if the commission is NSFW related you will get trouble if client report it as it was a nsfw commission. stripe and paypal are banning nsfw services , so getting another payment option if you do sell nsfw stuff avoid paypal and stripe i guess

  @PVINTERACTIVE @isek554 @NewsWireLK I don't want to waste time with fools. But let me finish with last 3 remarks. 1. Paypal is objectively horrible and their service sucks. 2. Places like Wyoming, USA is far more easier to work with than broken systems like Sri Lanka. 3. It's your choice, so good luck!

  I am getting bullish on $PYPL. I am down big on this one. I bought this position before I went on twitter. It's down 50% for me. But as you have come to know, I don't sell my losers either. Why am I bullish? PYPL is now open to spinning off Venmo. PayPal (the app) and Venmo are the #1 and #2 payment apps on smartphones. Payments are big business and there are a lot of competitors. PayPal has share but is getting beat by Apple and Google. But Venmo has a niche in payments. Small payments, group payments, very small business. It's social and users send money to people versus just businesses. It would be a good fit for somebody. I think that somebody is $CRCL or $COIN.

  @mukund Ick! 11% for $PYPL is like -99% compared to ai winners. Lores delivered lame 1-2% CAGR shareholder returns while at $HPQ, and he was integral in PayPal’s terrible decision-making, being their chairman for years; many reasons PayPal should see much lower lows.
