In December 1998, Max Levchin, Peter Thiel and Luke Nosek merged Confinity, a start-up specializing in payments and cryptography via PalmPilot. A year later, in March (1999), Elon Musk created https://t.co/4xogpPnlbe, an online banking-like platform. The two companies subsequently merged to become #PayPal. https://t.co/G0c4Rdgu1K
They were talking about crypto in 1998
Elon Musk bought the https://t.co/4xogpPnlbe domain name in July 2017, when it had been displaying a redirect to PayPal's website since 2001. At the time of this acquisition, he stated that he had no specific plans, but that the purchase had "sentimental value".
When the two companies merged, Peter Thiel and Max Levchin saw the opportunity to offer a payment system that would not be dependent on national authorities.
Ryan Fugger conceived #Ripple in 2004. The aim was to create a decentralized monetary system enabling individuals and communities to create their own currency. Fugger subsequently created the first iteration of the system, https://t.co/c9kcWiAaEA. Meanwhile, in May 2011, Jed McCaleb began developing a virtual currency system in which transactions are verified by consensus among network members. In August 2012, Jed McCaleb hires Chris Larsen and the two approach Ryan Fugger with their virtual currency idea. After discussions with McCaleb and former members of the #Ripple community, Fugger hands over the reins to them. In September 2012, Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb co-founded #OpenCoin. https://t.co/Ioqd1NtetD
A year later, the company was backed by some of the best-known venture funds in Silicon Valley. They include Google Ventures, Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, and Andreessen Horowitz. Speaking of Peter Thiel, let’s talk about the Paypal Mafia. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Chen, Reid Hoffman, and Russel Simmons all worked together at PayPal. Jed McCaleb, the founder of OpenCoin, Mt. Gox, and eDonkey, left #Ripple to set up #Stellar https://t.co/GUY4c7VAzW
Chris Larsen is the Executive Chairman, one of the co-founders of OpenCoin with an extensive fintech background. Being a member of the Fintech High Level Advisory Group at IMF and HSBC’s Technology Advisory Board, he is making sure that Ripple’s interests are taken into consideration by the global governing organizations. https://t.co/GUY4c7VAzW
Elon Musk Replaces Bird With ‘X’ In Rebrand. Elon Musk has replaced Twitter’s iconic blue bird logo with an “X” on Monday, part of a major rebrand teased over the weekend that takes the platform another step closer to the billionaire’s dream of creating an “everything app.” https://t.co/EkP498CwqU
Some of the biggest names in the space industry are billionaires: Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos. Richard Branson. The newest person to join this small cadre, at least by personal net worth, is Jed McCaleb.

"It's Time" - OpenAI's Sam Altman Launches 'WorldCoin' Token To Distinguish Humans From Bots. The project provides a decentralized and private way to verify human identity online amid the rise of artificial intelligence technologies. https://t.co/qITKhVATlP
We’re excited to welcome the following new donors to OpenAI: Jed McCaleb, Gabe Newell, Michael Seibel, Jaan Tallinn, and Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton. Reid Hoffman is significantly increasing his contribution. Pieter Abbeel (having completed his sabbatical with us), Julia Galef, and Maran Nelson are becoming advisors to OpenAI. Additionally, Elon Musk will depart the OpenAI Board but will continue to donate and advise the organization. As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon. https://t.co/i0HrdYuy7I

Andreessen Horowitz ‘Temporarily’ Helping Elon Musk With Twitter https://t.co/eFV0M7CPqA
Twitter has started the registration procedure for processing payments by submitting documentation to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on Nov 3, 2022. Businesses must register with FinCEN in order to make money transfers, swap currencies, or pay checks. This will end up creating a never before seen “payments utopia'' by combining social media with instant and cheap cross-border payments. https://t.co/k8B6UcnLuD

“HOW RIPPLE NETWORKS ARE TRANSFORMING MONEY” | https://t.co/bcy9uob6sz
Sporny discusses and explains a concept called Ripple Trust Networks, a decentralized network of payment channels that enables real-time, low-cost transactions between parties. He states it has the potential to greatly reduce the costs and complexities of cross-border payments compared to the expensive and slow correspondent banking system. https://t.co/k8B6UcnLuD
Furthermore, he suggests that the #Ripple network would reduce the cost of short-term loans by providing a highly competitive market in which people could request and receive lines of credit. This is because the decentralized nature of the #Ripple network would allow for a greater number of lenders to participate in the market, increasing competition and driving down interest rates. Overall, he is emphasizing the potential power of decentralized networks like the #Ripple network and links to a live implementation to the concept he was speaking about. I clicked it and it brought me to one of the first versions of #Ripple in 2012 with 4500 network users. Using this link I was able to dig deeper and find the very very first version of the Ripple website dating back to March 2006. This led me to find the initial Ryan Fugger #Ripple white paper from 2004. https://t.co/k8B6UcnLuD
