Hi Steemians,
If you ain't willing to risk it all, You don't want it bad enough. This Post is about the man just jumped to the world's richest billionaire's list in just one month.
After seeing the bloom of the bitcoin, Chris Larsen along with his friend decided to create something even more efficient. And they created a currency called "Ripple", which could be used for transactions even faster than bitcoin. The best part about his idea was that unlike bitcoins it didn't require any mining process to secure the network.
Even when his partner left the company to make another crypto currency "Stellar", Chris still held on to what he had created and remained the largest holder of 5.19 billion Ripple tokens.!
After 4 years of patience,Ripple started to rise drastically, And several american and Japanese banks approved to use it for transactions.And just about a week ago, Ripple became the second largest crypto currency network. And Larsen's net worth mounted to $59 billion crossing billionaires like Jack Ma. Today, he is the 5th wealthiest man in the world Just below Mark Zuckerberg.
Larsen's story teaches us that: "Just because you don't get success today, doesn't mean you never will".
