Theoretically but there's zero possibility he could unload it all at that price. He's going to tank it just trying to unload fractions of it.

Richest people in the world:
The guy who made the program all our PCs run on
The guy who made the place we all buy everything from
The guy who, uh...what does Ripple do?

American entrepreneur who came from the middle class (Gates)
American entrepreneur who came from the middle class (Bezos)
American entrepreneur who came from the middle class (Larsen)
American entrepreneur who came from the middle class (Zuckerberg)

Everyone else at the top is either an oil baron or a banker. It's almost like nobody else in the world is even trying. Thanks socialism.

Yea it is kinda crazy how quick Ripple exploded. MagicDonut has 6.6 million Ripple coins. Those must be worth a lot right now but he probably can't withdraw it all at once.

Kinda like how all those other Billionaires don't actually have a billion dollars to spend. They are just valued net worths.

Except the other people listed have more than a one day valuation of their worth.

Yet they can buy yachts worth multiple hundreds of millions . . . no shipwright it going to take ripple.

Bezos isn't going to crash amazons stock price if he starts to unload, this dude would easily dip it back into the pennies.

I'm not saying he's not extremely wealthy but we'll see how well it pans out.

I was being sarcastic, because all the richest people that worked from the middle class, innovated, and made themselves into titans of industry are all American, because Socialism is good at holding up the bottom of society, but it does so by holding back the top.

Remember when CE was crapping all over everyone who invested in this?

Now they are literally millionaires. And none of the people who insulted them have owned up to being wrong.

There are like 2 socialist countries on the planet and neither are known for industry or rich people. What the fuck are you even talking about

They're theoretically millionaires.

You ain't worth shit until you cash out. And when he cashes out he'd only tank the value of ripple to fractions of a cent.

It is extremely rare for trolls to admit they are wrong. In this situation I have seen many of those types quietly switch sides on CE. They say lol crypto is gonna crash in a month and a month later they make topics saying they have under $100 which coin should they invest in to get rich quick.

I PM'd TD to ask and he does OTC trading. I guess that is how these millionaires/billionaires offload large amounts of crypto.

Hamon cofounder?

You realize them being middle (upper middle) class gives them a huge leg up?

Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen in 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Jacklyn (ne Gise) and Ted Jorgensen. His father, Theodore John Jorgensen, was born in Chicago.[15] His maternal ancestors were settlers who lived in Texas and over the generations acquired a 25,000-acre (101 km2 or 39 miles2) ranch near Cotulla. As of March 2015, Bezos was among the largest landholders in Texas.

that doesn't sound like middle class

Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955. He is the son of William H. Gates Sr.[b] (b. 1925) and Mary Maxwell Gates (19291994). His ancestry includes English, German, Irish, and Scots-Irish.[17][18] His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way. Gates's maternal grandfather was JW Maxwell, a national bank president.

the doesn't sound like middle class either
