“Jed McCaleb likes building things that make powerful people nervous.  In 2000, as Napster was starting to implode, he came up with a peer-to-peer filesharing network called eDonkey 2000 that soon became the world’s most popular way of sharing music online. Act Two was Mt. Gox, which is now the world’s largest exchange for Bitcoin, the widely popular digital currency. McCaleb started the site in 2010, using a leftover domain name he’d registered a few years earlier for a card-trading site.  Ripple uses a different kind of open-source business model: You build a digital currency and get rich if it takes off.”
