3/ And then there’s Jed McCaleb…

Founder of Ripple.
Founder of Stellar.
But here’s what most forget:

👉 He sold eDonkey to eDonkey2000 Inc — just before and PayPal merged

👉 He was building p2p tools while Elon was building internet money

👉 Their visions mirrored each other — but only now do the pieces line up

What if Stellar is the backend Elon wanted all along?
