Vitalik Buterin was originally going to work for RIPPLE!steemCreated with Sketch.

Confirmation from Vitalik Buterin that he indeed was going to work for ripple but had trouble getting a visa to the United States. This further solidifys both ethereum and ripples credibility.

Nice!
Where did you find this ?

What is amazing to me isn't that he wanted to work with ripple but the fact that he was denied a visa !!!

yeah, maybe it was destiny! because i am very glad that ethereum became his focus , ethereum has allowed people to do more with cryptocurrency like use it for smart contracts and to create their own coins with their own use case good example: METAL is built off the back of the ethereum network!

Yes, I totally agree. It was a blessing in disguise.

world works in mysterious ways , upvote and resteem as I want to put out more content on a daily basis to help others grow their own portfolios and share valuable information! any coins you want me to write about?

Thanks for resteeming this.

I like the post but I liked the author more and Followed him.

right! although the majority of the cryptocurrency world shades ripple since it is the "bankers coin" it has a clear use case and a great dev team that is constantly growing to new countries. I'm not surprised he wanted to get involved with the project. I'm happy though that ethereum was his main focus as it has enabled new currencies with new use cases to be created on the back of the ethereum network.
