Most merchants run payments across multiple providers – Stripe, Flutterwave, PayPal, and more.

Each with its own dashboards, data formats, and blind spots.

The result? No single view of your payment performance and costs.

Fluxmap unifies your entire payment stack – bringing data from all processors into one live platform so you can:

✅ Boost approval rates with smarter insights
✅ Optimize processing costs across providers
✅ Understand your customers’ payment behaviors

Instant clarity. Unified payments intelligence.

🚀 Meet Fluxmap – your single source of truth for payments.

Nobody who’s actually good at making money needs to sell you a course on it.

@OIuwatosin @yeancah19 But why the pained response, lol. Take simple correction and keep it moving.

[Mubarak Hazeez @Hazeez_M]

@OIuwatosin @yeancah19 The word “from” still doesn’t dispel the ambiguity in your tweet tho. “40% is only applied to the balance of your income above XXk” is a better structure imo

.@naval: If I look back on my life, almost everything great that I managed to pull off—great by my own definition, not by the world’s definition—has come from following my own natural intellectual obsessions.

So I think if you can get obsessed over something, and if you can dive into it, just let yourself go and learn everything about it with no motivation other than just wanting to know the answer, that becomes the basis for all of the so-called “self-improvement” out there.

You have @bryan_johnson here somewhere. He’s obsessed with not dying and aging. Well, he’s obsessed, and that’s great. He’s following his intellectual obsession, and we all get to learn from that.

You’re following your obsession with the network state, and there are people out there following their obsession on AI, on crypto, and on history—Roman history, whatever it is. But if you get obsessed with something, you can figure it out to a detail that other people don’t. You can satisfy yourself. If you go deep enough into anything, you find the same commonalities, you find the same philosophies.

As a weird aside, I’ve gotten into photography recently. Don’t ask me why, but it’s just a way of combining art and science, being social and antisocial, doing something utilitarian. But sure enough, I’m obsessed with photography. I’m reading all the philosophical photography blogs where the authors talk about the meaning of life, art, science, and so on.

If you go deep into anything, you’ll find the same common threads. And so, I think self-improvement really just comes from letting yourself be who you are—following the things you truly want to follow, figuring out what you want to figure out—not worrying about what others want or think. And then, you kind of find yourself in the same place at the end, no matter which route you take.

Only ~3% of men are over 6 feet tall and make $100k.

@ankurnagpal That changed early this year and is consistent with market charging behavior. The change is justified by ongoing improvements particularly with refund auth where successful refunds automatically appear on your customers’ bank statements in real time which helps reduce disputes

My favorite Chinese proverb:

Everything must be hard before it can be easy.

[Sam Altman @sama]

very hard to do something novel for the first time; orders of magnitude easier to copy something that is known to be possible.

conviction is either extremely difficult, or free.
