Meet The Co-Creator of XRP/Ripple Protocol Who Is Using His Crypto Fortune To Fund A $1B Space Station!
Same guy who created XRP is now paying out of pocket to get a private space station into orbit. His name is Jed and he is the only person paying for the whole thing with no other investors or partners.
"Before building a space company, Jed was already rich from crypto. He launched Mt. Gox in 2010. It was one of the first Bitcoin exchanges. He sold most of it in 2011. In 2014, Mt. Gox crashed. It went bankrupt. Over $400 million worth of coins were lost.
That made it the biggest crypto failure in history until FTX collapsed in 2023. Jed still had a small stake when it crashed. He said he lost money too. He wasn’t fined or charged.
He moved on to XRP. He co-created the Ripple protocol. He also held 9% of all XRP when it launched. He had disagreements with his co-founders and left Ripple in 2013.
But he kept his XRP and sold it slowly over the next decade. From 2014 to 2022, he made about $3.2 billion by selling XRP and Ripple shares. That’s according to XRPScan, which tracks transactions on the XRP Ledger."
Yall do some good with your money once XRP and crypto as a whole skyrockets 🚀🚀🚀💯
