First published in Korea in 2024, the bestseller Ripple Big Bang is now available on Amazon! 🌏📚
XRP’s story is about crossing borders.
Now, this book is crossing them too.
Thank you to the Korean readers who made this journey possible.
Excited to share it with readers around the world.

Some of the leaders in Europe—Macron included—want this conflict with Russia to continue.We’ve talked about the military-industrial complex here in the United States that keeps beating the drums of war. Europe has one too. For that complex to keep growing and justifying itself, it needs a boogeyman. Right now, that boogeyman is Russia. As long as they keep repeating “Russia is the threat, Russia is the threat,” they get the budgets, the influence, and the political cover they want. The endless war narrative serves their interests, not the interests of the people paying for it or the soldiers on the ground.This isn’t about defending Europe from an imminent invasion. It’s about sustaining a system that requires a permanent enemy.
@WillieBeHere People involved in Bitcoin’s creation and earliest development
Bitcoin was created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto (identity still unknown). A small group of early collaborators and contributors then helped build and run it:
Hal Finney — Cypherpunk and cryptographer. Received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi (10 BTC on January 12, 2009). Early tester and supporter; previously created reusable proof-of-work (RPoW).
Martti Malmi (Sirius) — Often called Bitcoin’s first major developer after Satoshi. Helped with the Linux port, bitcoin.org, the original forum (later BitcoinTalk), documentation, and the first known BTC-to-fiat sale (2009).
Gavin Andresen — Became the lead developer after Satoshi stepped back around 2010–2011. Contributed heavily to the code, ran the early Bitcoin faucet, and was trusted with project control by Satoshi.
Others who contributed early or influenced the design: Ray Dillinger (reviewed early design), Mike Hearn, Jeff Garzik, Adam Back (Hashcash, later Blockstream), Wei Dai (b-money ideas), and Nick Szabo (Bit Gold concepts).
These were mostly private cryptographers, developers, and cypherpunks. No credible evidence shows any government agency or official was part of the creation team.
People later connected to Jeffrey Epstein in crypto (post-creation)
Epstein’s documented crypto ties start around 2011 or later (after Bitcoin already existed and after his 2008 conviction). Key names that appear in the Epstein files:
Brock Pierce — Facilitated Epstein’s ~$3 million 2014 investment in Coinbase; co-founder of Tether; long-running contact with Epstein.
Joi Ito (Joichi Ito) — Then-director of MIT Media Lab. Helped channel funding (including Epstein-related gifts) to the Digital Currency Initiative, which supported Bitcoin developers after the Bitcoin Foundation ran low on funds. Co-owned an entity that invested in Blockstream with Epstein.
Adam Back and Austin Hill — Co-founders of Blockstream. Epstein invested ~$500,000 in Blockstream’s 2014 seed round (via Ito-related structure); the stake was later sold. Back has stated the company has no ongoing financial connection to Epstein’s estate.
Coinbase side: Fred Ehrsam (co-founder) was aware of and discussed the Epstein investment.
These were investment and networking relationships years after Bitcoin launched—not involvement in inventing or initially developing it.
Summary: The core people behind Bitcoin were Satoshi Nakamoto plus a handful of early open-source contributors (Finney, Malmi, Andresen, and a few others). Government involvement in the creation is unsupported. Epstein’s circle (Pierce, Ito, and related investors/founders) entered later as investors and networkers.

I am in tears. President Trump will be giving $250 MILLION to nurses across America. This is huge
DR Oz “We had about $100 Million dollars and you are the best negotiator I have ever met in my life”
NOW IT’S $250 Million. Mainstream Media never reports on this
