Popular Post BobWay Posted March 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello all. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Bob Way, formerly of Ripple. Thank you in advance for allowing me to join your forum. Back in the early days of crypto I was pretty active in the Bitcointalk and Ripple communities (under the username "Red"). In fact my community participation was what directly led to me going to work for Chris and the gang at OpenCoin. I made a lot of good friend in the forums five years back. I'm hoping to make some new ones now. Bob joe91, PRaXis, Gman_Dallas and 123 others 99 25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukrim Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Nice to hear from you, looking at my mail archive you were on of my first contacts at the company. ;-) What are you up to these days? LinkedIn just lists "New Crypto Moonshot"... KarmaCoverage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BobWay Posted March 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks Pablo! I know Ripple (the company) can seem pretty opaque from the outside. I'm happy to clarify what I can. But just to start out, all the folks currently at Ripple are amazing people that I am honored to have worked with and have as friends. I'm still 100% bullish on Ripple as a company and XRP as a crypto asset. There has been lots of market confusion but I still think that Ripple has all the technology and resources they need to succeed. But feel free to ask me your own questions. I'm know for talking too much and also for being annoyingly honest about the details. ;-) MrXrpByrd, earth, Fenzig and 18 others 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BobWay Posted March 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi Sukrim, great to hear from you again. I retired from Ripple last summer to take care of some health issues. (all's well now) And yes, I'm currently founding a new venture. It's too early for me to talk about that publicly, but it is money related and based on a lot of the concepts I learned over the past few years.

Simoun Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Hi, @BobWay, it's an honor to you have you mingle with us hoi polloi. Would love to get some glimpses on what it was like to work with the likes of Arthur Britto et al.

Popular Post BobWay Posted March 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2019 Wow, what a welcome! Hey @Lucky, it's been a long time. Great to catchup again. Yes @RegalChicken, that's me. Hi @Simoun, great to meet you. 51 minutes ago, RegalChicken said: It's funny. We asked them to send Bobs, and here you are. I think I missed the original thread. What does this mean? 46 minutes ago, Simoun said: Would love to get some glimpses on what it was like to work with the likes of Arthur Britto et al. Arthur is one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. We worked very closely together for my first couple of years at the company. He is also a very private individual so I'd like to respect that as well. Working with Arthur and David together is mind blowing. Every interesting thought you have they together had thought of and worked through years earlier. But both are amazingly patient people happy to explain to you in detail where you are right and where you are short sighted. (I spend longer than I like to admit being short sighted). 44 minutes ago, RegalChicken said: and the real Satoshi Funny, if I had known he was going to disappear I would have tried harder to make friends with him. I had a pretty good argument for why David Schwartz is Satoshi, however he says it isn't true. It's still a great rumor though! earth, Scout, Rey and 32 others 31 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukrim Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Now that you're no longer directly on the "inside", has your view of Ripple the company changed, especially concerning communication and community interaction? xrpmommy and xrphilosophy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
