Of course the one time we need to use #Zelle it's down.

On a related note, is anyone working on something like FediPay to replace Zelle, #PayPal, #Venmo, and other terrible means of moving money around? I won't use most of those services, myself, for a variety of reasons.

I don't often take #commissions these days, but I'm excited to say I'm opening for a limited number of them!

#Venmo co-founder launched a memecoin #JELLYJELLY to raise money for a new venture (something something video sharing something something). This kind of thing used to be considered obvious securities fraud but going forward this is how all companies are going to raise money. Why issue shares of stock (which makes you beholden to very annoying regulatory bodies like the #SEC) when you can just launch a #memecoin and make millions instantly without creating any kind of product?

Oh, and it’s pretty obvious #Solana memecoin bros on Twitter with high follower counts are getting tipped off and engaging in insider trading.

All of this is perfectly legal in a post #TrumpCoin era.

@dave and most worringly:

"How is any #bank allowed to open up accounts, Issie a #CreditCard and ship it without explicit prior consent of you as the customer who's name it's on?"

  • I mean, I know the #USA is pressing other Juristictions into #KYC & #AML whilst #CashApp & #Venmo are illegal in the #EU for lack of KYC & AML compliance alone...

Like ain't they afraid someone may steal it and swipe a shitload of stuff with it?

Okay, so I just got #Venmo and I'm gonna ask a really old-guy question here.

On #PayPal and #Square, I just set up a bank account and money I receive goes in it. I have the choice to not use that to fund purchases - instead opting for CC.

Do I have that ability on Venmo? I added my CC and my Debit Card. I don't see a place to add incoming bank account...only outgoing one.

#Paypal is changing its privacy policy. If you have an account, here's what you need to do:

✅ Log in (you *are* using TOTP multifactor authentication, right?)
✅Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
✅Click "Data & Privacy"
Follow the link under that category to "Personalized Shopping"
✅Click the slider switch to disable data sharing with advertisers and retailers based on your purchase history.

@energisch_ @mina @Nickiquote nah, I think restricting #cash is inherently facist, as there are already existing mechanisms re: #AML that make it redundant.

  • As long as #cashless payments ain't as fast, cheap and convenient as cash they'll always be a secondary option.

Not to mention all the #discrimination based off (not having) #access to #PaymentProviders and #PaymentMethods.

There's a reason why #SMSpayment and #Monero are the only ones globally rising as they are fast, convenient and universal, but even they don't replace cash in it's universality.

There were a few days at the beginning when I literally could do no more than sit upright at my desk… and even that took everything out of me.

I think I have one more picture in me for 2024… I think I can finish my portrait of Reggie from #TheLeatherBoys by New Years!
…And here’s one more sketch of him. I feel the same way when I daydream and doodle pictures of #MarcBolan ! He’s just dreamy.
🌈🤣🌈

Oh and one my therapists told me I should tell you all this: she is sending people to my #VENMO and I’m doing pencil sketch pet portraits in exchange for donations! I’ve already done a few, and total strangers have been very generous!

I will post some of those sketches tomorrow.

#House #Ethics Committee investigators probing #sexual #misconduct allegations against former congressman #MattGaetz obtained records showing that he paid more than $10,000 to 2 women who testified before the committee, 27 #PayPal and #Venmo payments disbursed between July 2017 and January 2019 totaling over $10,000 paid to the two witnesses, Some of the payments were for #sex, the witnesses testified to the committee.

@samhenrigold I think both are key:

Just like a lot of #US Services have already been unavailable for refusing to comply with laws (i.e. #CashApp & #Venmo don't comply with #KYC & #AML) and a lot of things are banned in the #USA under the veil of "#ConsumerProtection (i.e. #KinderSurprise, unwashed eggs & non-chlorinated chicken despite being scientifically better) ...
