🔥 OpenCoin: Ripple before it became mainstream
I stumbled upon the good old wiki: it turns out Ripple was once called OpenCoin. Yes, back in the days when no one was joking about the SEC.
📜 OpenCoin scripts date back to 2006.
📌 Algorithm? The same SHA256 as Bitcoin.
Now — Bitcoin appeared in 2008 and was published in 2009.
Question:
🤔 Who was “inspired” by whom?
A poster with the caption seems to suggest itself:
“When you arrived first, but the hype didn’t start with you…”
