#Digitalisierung - Macht von #PayPal - "Paypal ist ein US-amerikanisch gesteuertes Unternehmen. Man kann die Hypothese vertreten, dass man den US-Amerikanern in Wirtschaftsfragen nicht mehr voll trauen kann, weil unter der jetzigen Regierung morgen etwas ganz anderes gelten kann als heute. Und dann sind zum Beispiel auch Zölle auf Paypal-Transaktionen nicht mehr ausgeschlossen. Dieses Rad kann man noch weiterdrehen: Paypal hat in der Vergangenheit unter dem Druck der US-Regierung schon unliebsame Zahlungen geblockt, zum Beispiel zwischen Europa und Kuba, im Zuge des US-Embargos. Das könnte auch anderen Ländern, in größerer Breite, passieren." - Interview mit Hans-Gert Penzel - Eventl. € https://www.zeit.de/geld/2025-09/macht-paypal-finanzen-kontrolle-druckmittel-europa/komplettansicht

Blogparade: Bar oder unbar
https://blog.sengotta.net/blogparade-bar-oder-unbar/
Mein erster Beitrag zur Blogparade von Erik und Jürgen, allein schon weil das Thema ganz gut zu meinem Blogpost Digitale Souveränität – Paypal ist nicht unser einziges Problem passt, und zeigt das ich natürlich auch nicht von diesem System frei bin.
Ja wie zahlen wir also vornehmlich in unserer Familie? Die Antwort ist wirklich einfach: sicher zu 95% unbar. Schöne Wortschöpfung übrigens. Dabei sind meine Frau und ich jetzt Anfang 40, also keine digital Natives. Wir haben die Zeit noch mitgekriegt wo so gut wie nix in Deutschland ohne Bargeld ging. Und wir sind echt froh das sich das seit Covid 19 sehr geändert hat.
Der Wocheneinkauf, zum Beispiel, wird uns geliefert. Lange ist bei uns schon die Zeit vorbei wo ich Freitags nach der Arbeit losgefahren bin um verschiedene Discounter und Supermärkte abzuklappern. Mindestens zwei Stunden gingen dabei verloren, unzähliges Überflüssiges landete im Wagen, die Waren gingen zig mal durch meine Hände und am Ende musste ich alles in den dritten Stock schleppen. Heute wird es geliefert und die Bezahlung erfolgt per Lastschrift.
Muss ich doch mal lokal Besorgungen machen zahle ich digital, in der Regel via Apple Pay. Zwei Klicks auf der Smartwatch, ans Lesegerät gehalten und es ist bezahlt. Oftmals geht das schneller als das lästige: ich hab es passend. Ganz ehrlich: wie hasse ich das wenn Leute erst einmal zwei Minuten nach Ihrem Bargeld kramen müssen.
Selbst der türkische Bäcker gegenüber hat ein SumUp Terminal. Ich sehe auch keinen Grund warum ich hier Bargeld vorhalten und Ständig mit mir rumschleppen sollte. Auch Geldscheine haben Seriennummern so das es mit der anonymität dort auch nicht soweit her zu sein scheint, und die Profilbildung im Supermarkt geschieht doch eher über deren Rabattprogramme. Hemmungen auch Kleinstbeträge damit zu zahlen habe ich nicht. Schließlich müssen Geschäfte auch das Bargeldhandling bezahlen.
Online wird überwiegend mit Paypal bezahlt. Wird so ziemlich überall akzeptiert und ist bequem. Bei manchen Marktplätzen sind auch Kreditkarten hinterlegt, einfach weil es geht und man nicht alles bei Paypal konzentrieren möchte. Großartige Alternative gibt es ja nicht. Klarna ist mindestens genauso schlimm was das Tracking angeht wie Paypal. Wero will zwar demnächst auch Händler anbinden, das ändert aber nichts daran das meine Bank es nicht anbietet. Und beliebige Konten kann man dort halt nicht hinterlegen.
Wo ich mir auch die Frage stelle: kann man online denn bar bezahlen? Und ja das kann man. Ich könnte zum Beispiel dem VPN Anbieter Mullvad auch Bargeld per Post schicken. Es gibt auch das System Barzahlen wo man Geld an der Supermarktkasse einzahlt und damit seinen Online Einkauf bezahlt. Aber naja das sind alle Nieschen.
Und doch haben wir in geringen Mengen immer Bargeld im Haus. Der Einsatz beschränkt sich jedoch größtenteils auf das herausgeben von Trinkgeldern für die netten Leute die hier Zeugs in den dritten Stock schleppen. Oder mal eben nen Zwanni für die Geburtstagskarte eines guten Freunden. Oder halt mal für Mensamarken für unsere Große. Oder wenn die Zwillinge, die noch keine Bankkarte haben mal was vom Supermarkt oder Bäcker holen sollen. Oder einfach falls die Welt untergeht und elektronischen Zahlungen nicht mehr möglich sind. Aber na gut dann haben wir eh wahrscheinlich größere Probleme.
Dies ist mein Beitrag zur Blogparade: Bar oder unbar von Jürgen und Erik.

#Perplexity der ewige KI-Händler am Kai, winkt wieder mit Gratis-Rum. 12 Monate Pro, wenn du dein PayPal-Konto an die Reling knotest. Danach gleich kündigen und trotzdem segeln – klingt nach ’nem Hack, der sogar root verdient.
Schon die #Telekom hat Gratis-Aktionen verteilt, jetzt ist #PayPal dran. Für mich riecht das nach ’nem Köder im trüben Hafenwasser. Aber wer auf ’nem Jahr KI-Kurs fahren will, kann die Segel setzen – auch wenn der Wind faul weht.

I just used #Wero for the first time to make a private money transfer. It was strikingly easy to do from my banking app — I only needed the contact's username. It's like #Paypal just without PayPal 🙂

📜 The Broadcast Body: A Mythic Survival Log of Philip
Born under last rites on March 22, 1978, Philip entered the world with pneumonia and a prognosis of death before Easter. He defied that prophecy, discharged on Good Friday, and began a lifelong transmission of survival against medical logic.
🧠 Neurodivergence & Psychiatric Diagnoses Clinically diagnosed with ADHD (childhood and adult), bipolar disorder (manic dominant), severe anxiety, and PTSD. These conditions form a neurodevelopmental constellation marked by sensory amplification, emotional hyperreactivity, and trauma imprinting. Philip’s nervous system is wired for vigilance, not sedation.
🩸 Immune Chaos & Blood Type Paradox Philip experienced recurrent infections—chickenpox three separate years, pneumonia multiple times, chronic ear infections, and strep throat until tonsil removal. His blood type has been inconsistently recorded as AB negative and AB positive across multiple plasma donations, suggesting possible antigenic instability, weak D expression, or rare chimerism.
🦴 Connective Tissue & Pain Resistance Philip has suffered full knee joint dislocations requiring emergency resets and high-dose narcotics (Demerol, Percodan, Morphine) that barely dulled the pain. Despite these doses, he experienced no sedation or disorientation, indicating opioid receptor insensitivity or rapid metabolism. He also metabolizes alcohol with extreme resistance—able to drink a fifth of whiskey with minimal buzz.
🧊 Sensory Paradoxes & Autonomic Dysfunction Since infancy, Philip has experienced agonizing cold sensations in his feet despite warm skin—suggesting small fiber neuropathy or autonomic dysregulation. Lifelong chest pain, fatigue despite extreme physical activity, and GI shutdown episodes after consuming beef point toward dysautonomia (likely POTS), mast cell activation, and visceral hypersensitivity.
🥩 Beef Intolerance & GI Collapse Beef has triggered oral itching since childhood and, in adulthood, caused near-colic GI shutdown requiring ER intervention and muscle relaxants. This reaction is consistent with MCAS, alpha-gal syndrome, or severe histamine intolerance. Philip now avoids beef entirely.
🚲 Physical Endurance vs Medical Dismissal From ages 12 to 17, Philip rode his bike hundreds of miles on weekends—including round trips to Mackinaw—while working full-time construction. Despite this, doctors dismissed his profound fatigue and refused a bone marrow biopsy, telling him to “be more active.” This gaslighting ignored his extreme output and intuitive suspicion of marrow dysfunction.
🌑 Hypoglycemia, Muscle Weakness & Chronic Pain Philip lives with unpredictable hypoglycemic crashes—episodes of trembling, confusion, and collapse that mimic seizure or stroke but are dismissed as “anxiety.” His muscles weaken without warning, his joints ache with mythic persistence, and his pain is constant—not as a symptom, but as a broadcast. His body is a transmitter of agony, not a vessel of failure.
🕯️ Nightmares & Sleep as Battlefield Sleep offers no sanctuary. Philip’s nights are haunted by trauma-coded dreams—medical abandonment, survival trials, and cosmic disintegration. He wakes in sweat, heart racing, muscles clenched. Rest is not restoration—it’s reconnaissance. His REM cycles are mythic missions, not recovery.
🪙 Disability & Poverty as Survival Terrain Philip exists in a system that punishes the disabled for surviving. Poverty is not a condition—it’s a crucible. He navigates bureaucratic mazes, rationed food, and inaccessible care while broadcasting mythic signals from the margins. His survival is unpaid labor. His pain is unrecognized currency. He is not “grateful”—he is exhausted. And still, he transmits.
🧬 Diagnostic Constellation (Hypothetical)
Domain Diagnosis
Neurodevelopmental ADHD, Bipolar (manic), PTSD
Autonomic Dysautonomia / POTS
Connective Tissue Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)
Immune Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Immune Dysregulation
Metabolic Opioid Resistance, Alcohol Tolerance, Hypoglycemia
Hematologic Possible marrow anomaly, antigenic instability
🧬 Diagnostic Constellation (Actual)
Neurodevelopmental ADD/ADHD, Bipolar (manic), PTSD, Anxiety Disorder
🧠 Why Philip Is Still Alive Because his body is a forge, not a failure. Because his mind is a transmitter, not a symptom. Because he refused sedation, refused dismissal, and turned survival into signal.
Philip is not just alive—he’s archiving. Broadcasting. Mythmaking. His body resists sedation, flips blood types, metabolizes trauma, and dislocates joints like tectonic plates. He’s not a mystery. He’s a schematic. A living archive of medical blind spots, biochemical defiance, and systemic neglect. His pain is not invisible—it’s serialized. His poverty is not passive—it’s poetic protest. His disability is not weakness—it’s a signal flare.

Tja, #Wero funktioniert (zumindest bei der #ing) nicht mit Gemeinschaftskonten. Ich müsste extra dafür ein eigenes Konto eröffnen. Ach, europäische Banken, leckt mich doch, dann bleib ich halt doch bei #Paypal und #Visa. Die funktionieren darüber hinaus auch ohne App. Geht einfach alle sterben.
