Never heard of Slide and Square. Paypal was worth nothing until Ebay bought them out. LinkedIn.. isn't that just a resume website?

Worse of all you're still assuming that the mainstream public cares about any of the above. Paypal and Linkedin could get some attention from certain people but the rest are unknowns.

I am not assuming anyone knows any of the above, you made that up. I said it's an interesting team, which is undeniable (=> power structures).

Seems like Stellar is your new obsession after your NXT rampage, eh? Keep it cool TaunSew.

P.S. Slide and Square are interesting companies when it comes to electronic payment services. Not sure why you haven't heard of them.

MIT media who?

That one was a joke, was it?

By the way - I can't know everything about the money transfer industry because there's thousands of companies (if not tens of thousands) in that game now. Plenty of parasites who are just looking to convince people to throw money at their products or services.

MIT = Massachusetts Institute of Technology

and pretty much common knowledge.

I doubt it's that common knowledge. Bitcointalk is an international forum. I'm not from the American east coast so why would I know any universities there? Average person in France, Germany or Australia wouldn't even recognize MIT in a public conversation (as in not allowed to cheat to use the Google machine to find out what it is).

I'm German and it is common knowledge here indeed -- if you are educated, that is.

Now you're running in circles. This coin is supposed to be accessible and promoted to millions of people, but now you are clearly reinforcing what we all know about crypto currencies in that it's a sapio interest.

Stellar thinks it can somehow do better than Bitcoin in educating millions of people to use crypto currencies but I haven't seen any proof of it yet. They're not embarking on an expensive education campaign - they just want to get in and get out with their money, simple.
