CTO

Potlimitcrypto

It's really simple. People do not understand what's possible in crypto. People look for "narratives" and get rugged every day and leave poorer than they were at the start of the bullrun. Kendu has been through 18 months of redistribution. It has been through a volatile CTO. It has a lower HHI score than all major memes, it's the second memecoin in history after Pepe to achieve a free CertiK audit via 50,000 organic votes, it has all the characteristics of Murad's list plus way, way more. It has more message volume in TG than SPX, Giga, and essentially all memes that aren't botting activity. It has multiple tangible presences IRL. Real businesses building under the brand umbrella in numerous sectors. You will either see it or regret not seeing it. Kendu is a future multi-billion dollar giant, household name in crypto, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. This is your chance, anon. Stop gambling, start getting involved. You either have the capability to see Kendu's

Not sure on the exact date but the new CTO from Algorand made the [announcement](https://x.com/JohnAlanWoods/status/1947284407959663000) a month ago and going by the [LinkedIn](https://ca.linkedin.com/in/conradwhelan) of the former CTO he quit his position in June

Zanena001

First time hearing this from an official team member, but I had my suspicions as it hasn't been mentioned for a while. Btw when did their CTO leave?

Alex_Nillion

We will be releasing a blog post in 2 weeks that dives pretty deeply into this so I don't want to step in front of it. John Woods (former CTO of Algorand Foundation) has joined the team and is driving forward a pretty elegant tokenomics model that fits with the needs of our ecosystem

GabenNaben

..You scrapped NMC? Is this why the CTO left? This is really troubling news to me, I got into Nillion because I thought NMC was a breakthrough..

Love that you’re being downvoted by these shit eating troglodytes for stating facts. Ripple’s CTO even said as much and the guy is infinitely more intelligent than r/cryptocurrency combined but nah nah see, that doesn’t fit the narrative of ETH sucking total ass so…downvotes away!

Luca_Pudgy

I mean this is such a hilariously bad take. I've had every opportunity to make 100s of millions of dollars here and I haven't. At every turn where I could've grifted millions I didn't. Instead of taking from people I decided to give them $1.5 billion instead (Literally unheard of). Your anchor point is an article written by a basement dweller 3 years ago that I addressed live in front of thousands of people that can easily be found on Youtube. Don't judge a man by the gossip you read you on the internet but by his actions when it matters most. At every turn I've given to people and I have been the most generous crypto founder of the last 3 years. ($0 taken, $1.5billion given). If the guy who bought (CTO'd) a project for $2.5m worked for 3 years on basically no pay, to then go out there and give $1.5billion dollars to people is a low integrity individual with low morals and ethics then we as a society are cooked.

jamesbdrummer

What? Supply capped at 1billion... CEO Ty Schenk (fron Brainblocks) and CTO Roy Keene (an ex-Nano lead dev) are very much transparent and public facing

PatMu5tard

Keeta is a L1 backed by ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt (who invested $20m in the company). Been in development since 2022, has the smartest man in the whole space as the CTO (Roy Keene, was the main dev of Nano back when it was Brainblocks), currently in Testnet, Chainspect validated their 11m TPS stress test, Mainnet is coming in a few weeks, the CEO Ty Schenk is speaking on the main stage at the biggest Crypto conference in the world SALT next week, Google Cloud are releasing an article about Keeta tomorrow (the first time they’ve ever done that for a crypto chain). Recently listed on Kraken, OKX listing seems to be in the works too. The list goes on, it’s going to be at least a top 10 coin this year, possibly a top 3 in the future. Theres nothing like it out there right now. And it’s still only $600m mcap. Look it up, and DYOR

kingkongbananakong

I remember when you found us. It was a breath of fresh around our CTO time. you are actually a prime example of what a single person can achieve and how those achievements can be Amplified by the community behind it. Thanks for all you do man <3

ptown777

Except I’m not a bot or a scammer, I’m a holder of a a 3+ month old CTO called WAGMI as described above lol. But I do agree with your sentiment there are a ton of bad people out there and I’ve certainly fallen into those webs. That’s why I tried to provide some data to support my thesis. Social dominance is a real thing. Anyhow, feel feee to ask me any questions. I can verify # of fire hydrants in a 3x3 grid or whatever you need haha.

lightpara

Didn’t they migrate and rebrand? lol Besides, the dev who launched the mainstream useless, sold. It was CTO’d And the “relaunch” of the supposed first one, was bundled and they been dumping since. Nice try though

DoubleEko

For background info Stefan Thomas went onto become Ripple’s CTO and had Vitalik crash on his couch for a week or two :o) “Later in 2013, a young Bitcoin developer crashed on my couch for a couple of weeks while visiting San Francisco. In the afternoon, he would come to the Ripple office and join our discussions about smart contracts. His name was Vitalik Buterin. And these conversations led him to incorporate Ripple’s key/value data structure into Ethereum.” https://medium.com/coil/codius-smart-contracts-made-from-containers-b3b16c3e3890

If you can do it you should use your own money unless you don't believe in your own project. Which makes sense because you said it yourself you're "tired" If you could make someone rich the one person you would've done first with or alongside of someone would be yourself. 9 years as CTO? Your Networth should be a couple millions at least. Especially if it was such a big success as you boast. And then working with multiple successfully startups. Jeez you're buttering your bread pretty thick why not eat it yourself as well? I can tell you why: because it's all BS. Anyway I'm sure some idiots will call for this because they are naive as fuck and predators like you will scam them sooner or later anyway

inShambles3749

Because if someone's begging for 2 BTC while in the same sentence promising others to make them "filthy rich" I get sus. Why don't you make your self filthy rich first and then hire people for your project. Im all for privacy especially in AI where people just hand out their privacy like donations. However... Like I said. You mentioned you were the CTO for a scammer that has a NW of 3 Billion. If you really did that you can just hit him up for 2 BTC..shouldn't be a biggy with that connection. It just screams blatant scam to me

If you hold Kendu chads you can make them worth something by buying Geoff. The CTO lied. Utility was always on the way for Kendu Chads.

tldr; Ripple's XRP Ledger (XRPL) is poised to revolutionize finance by tokenizing assets and facilitating cross-border transactions, potentially moving trillions in value. Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie highlighted XRP's role in integrating traditional finance with blockchain, emphasizing its evolution beyond simple transactions. Ripple's acquisition of a broker-dealer clearing member signals deeper integration with financial markets. Ripple CTO David Schwartz noted banks' cautious adoption of XRP, despite its potential to transform institutional payment systems. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Well said! I've been in Kendu for quite some time and been through the whole ex dev - CTO process. It shows great strenght and resilliance that the community got through it. Well, not only got through it, but got so much stronger! The community really supports each other and people now dare to stand up and pitch ideas and speak their minds! The whole vibe changed and I am actually one of those that got up after the CTO and started working. I love working for Kendu because I truly believe in the brand. I think we are building something big and I havent seen anything like this in the crypto space. I highly recommend anyone to do their research and check it out. We got so much potential to grow and we're not just a one cycle token, we plan to stay! $Kendu is real. Real people, real conviction and real products/events! And we all know that real is hard to find in the crypto space.

I really enjoyed Yan Pritzker’s book "Inventing Bitcoin". He's cofounder and CTO of Swan Bitcoin & takes you through the thought processes that created the first crypto currency.

The Wagmi Standard The memecoin space has changed. Several years ago you could say “We’re all gonna make it.” And people took it for what it was. A high vibration acknowledgement to those who chose to do what was difficult. A salute to the individuals that saw the fork in the road and made their own path, and those who would delay immediate gratification, to truly change their lives. Now, that phrase is perceived as a participation trophy. We CTO’d $Wagmi after it bundle nuked, and we don’t believe in participation trophies. We believe in working for your bag, we believe in the standard of holding through various ups and downs, and lifting up the space that inspired us all to invest in memecoins. It is a difficult road, it is not for those looking for a quick flip. We chose this path to restore the Standard of community tokens. We chose this path as a middle finger to entitled influencers who talk a big game, but couldn’t move the needle if their lives depended on it. $Wagmi on SOL is for the trenches, by the trenchers, for the benefit of all who would take the risk of standing against the norm, and believing in something. Everything worth having, is worth working for. Believe. ✊🏼. Uniting our vision, amplifying our strength, and building a future where we all thrive together.

Dude, the CTO literally said the banks weren't interested in using XRP in an interview. And yeah, they got sued by the SEC for selling all their pre-allocated tokens to institutions (which were deemed sales of securities!) You just made my argument for me lol

CipherScarlatti

I'm CTO.

MichielLangkamp

The whole team is known and active in their discord. Ty schenk is the ceo, Roy Keene is their lead dev and CTO. Look at their linkedin profiles. These guys are serious

Oh my dude they got you at the chinese CTO and C-suite team giving face, true C-level executives rarely go on meetings with leads (unless is a sure close for partnership/sale with a know lead or previous customer/partner) and also true C-levels are multilingual; hope you get to cancel all your credit cards, change all your passwords and change all your crypto wallets in time

BTC could go to zero or 2 million by 2030. There are unknown bags that could be dumped. Bags that haven’t moved in 14 years just moved in large quantities. That’s concerning. I’m in and cautious. I have more in XRP because of David the CTO of Ripple saying Satoshi has massive amounts of XRP alongside his BTC. There’s some kind of inside game we don’t know about and it looks like a rug I only want one foot on.

BabyBonkWhale

They can because they are bigger than the dev, this is why CTOs work. This one is born as a CTO apparently, the dev doesn't seem to have any control other than the 4% bought on launch. $SOL is probably for search visibility

I would look into Luckycoin ($LKY) sir. Oldest memecoin in existance (that is still running today) PoW coin Created in 2013 Died in 2014 Resurrected in 2024 No premine due to its PoW nature Halving coming up. (As it resurrected, it inherited old security protocols, subsequently, $LKY suffered a replay attack in dec 2014. The new CTO team came in to secure it. It is now patched and ready for the future. Verichain audit was mantated for the patch) Most of the coins have been bought by a new diamond hand community and $LKY has build new price floors and structure. Narrativ is good ≠ Solana's premined pump and dumps tokens

I listen to David Schwartz, CTO at Ripple. Why do you even care?

St0uty

> it may face scalability problems due to potentially high storage requirements I believe it has a smaller ledger than most, in either case, storage is getting very large and very affordable >And since there’s no financial incentive to run a node, there is a risk that network participation could become more centralized over time The incentive would the network itself (e.g. all the money saved from using alternative payment processors). I'd recommend [watching the Ripple's CTO explain this concept](https://youtu.be/fo8ZScrXFZE?si=6ODfI9ftioSQ7k_a) >but would the strenghes be more important for the mayority of people they wouldnt choose Bitcoin over Nano The majority of people have likely not considered either of those 2 things, I think what's way more likely to "wow" them is the functionality. It's very impressive to instantly send someone a fraction of a penny (or any amount) for no cost, and then send it back, and then send it again, etc

Are you not reading? My source is Ripple CTO who gave those quotes. Go check Twitter you will find his quotes and hundreds of people referring to it. What source you want to know Ripple conducted a party for retail investors named "The proper party" in 2023. Ripple literally invited the community and 100s of pictures out there from the party. You claimed i am just sharing the information available to all of us then ask me what is the source. What do you mean by "all of us"? You are the only one trying to argue but don't have a point.

Arismic

"If you want to start somewhere, start with the 2 quotes by Ripple CTO i shared." So you don't even want to check the arguments i make. You also don't have any arguments on your own. You are just throwing random statements with eyes and ears closed and expected the other person to make efforts to reply. If the reply you see have information you don't believe in, you just move to goal post rather than checking whether it is true. Sounds more like Cognitive dissonance. Waiting for your answer on this. "I have seen community members behaving like Ripple cult members who blindly agree with Ripple on everything. They never have anything negative to accept in Ripple or XRP. Now, do you have anything negative to say about Ripple or XRP?" If not, I am glad i helped.

Arismic

Ripple literally focuses on retail brainwashing because all XRP getting released by them eventually lands there. Without retail they won't even have the very little liquidity for XRP they have today. You would see news about all the new partnerships and ventures about Ripple but never about the ones abandoned or expired ones. If you dig deep enough, you would see every month Ripple announces positive news during the unlock but the XRP price would drop. The biggest trick Ripple pulled is convincing retail that they don't focus on retail. A simple example would be their 2023 "The proper party" for retail investors. So far, I shared loads of information while you throw question and disbelief. That's 8 years of information I gave you for free to research. If you want to start somewhere, start with the 2 quotes by Ripple CTO i shared. You're welcome!

Arismic

The level of overconfidence they had without realizing the surface was moving under them is staggering. There were no regulation talks or we are waiting for regulation speeches. They sounded as if everything was figured out and they had the ultimate solution. "My dream scenario is SWIFT makes a deal with Ripple where all their banks get to use RippleNet for free, maybe even paying SWIFT. Fits our XRP strategy perfectly" - Ripple CTO 2017 "That's too late to do us any good. Our XRP strategy can't wait that long" - Ripple CTO 2018

I‘m in Kendu for a year now. I was scouring the crypto world for something truly special and came across $Kendu and its community, and I was completely blown away from the very first moment! You won't find anything like it anywhere else. Kendu has been around for over a year, we've successfully completed the CTO phase, and we're continuing to grow steadily. Recently, there was a nice breakout, and a new bottom has formed, where we're preparing for another breakout. Take advantage of the current market recovery and buy a wallet! You won't regret it!

SpontaneousDream

In crypto, and in tech-investing in general- there's a common theme: **own the app, not the platform.** What does this mean? It means that what you want to own, in the end, is **killer apps**, not the protocols or platforms that power them. Killer apps accrue value, not the middleware or backends that power them. There are so many quotes from well-known players in crypto/tech/investing that espouse this idea, but I love these two below: >“The best products win, not the best protocols.” -Chris Dixon, A16z. Chris was the guy who initially said this back in 2016, challenging the "fat protocols" thesis. >“You want to be the front-end that people love, not just the back-end they forget.” -Balaji Srinivasan, OG VC/Bitcoiner & former CTO of Coinbase Imo, and I know this is unpopular here, but there are SO many protocols out there today that are just...protocols. Sure, they have apps on top of them, but the protocols don't accrue value directly from these apps. The protocols just power them in the background.

Cleaning lady here and I’m telling you, the CFO and COO don’t know what the CTO is cooking behind the curtains. I do, I read the papers left on the table. Upgrades are on the way.

No. No one can predict short term price action. No one can predict the price of bitcoin tomorrow. Those who claim to know are charlatans. That said, a lot of analysts (intothecryptoverse, CTO larsson, invest answers, 100trillionBTC, etc) have metrics to try to predict where we are in the cycle. Are we close to the top for this cycle, or not. For example, rather than trying to predict short term price action IntoTheCryptoverse has a risk metric that helps assess risk levels at various price points and based on a risk metric you can buy, sell or hold.

This matter is finally drawing the attention of many insightful individuals. The traditional arguments are losing their influence, as people get educated. And It appears that a majority of intelligent people are realizing that the progress in Quantum technology will not diminish; it will only continue to advance. Meanwhile, the crypto sector is far from prepared. I commend the CTO of QANX for being a trailblazer in this field.

CTO team looks promising! Definitely worth a bag

SunDreamShineDay

Nice, Ripple CTO who was 1/3 of the team who created the XRPL infers South Korean exchanges used an exchange rate that was too high and artificially inflated the USD value of the coin. Now how you conflated that with XRP being ‘overvalued’ seems to point to a bias you have. Go ahead and read the paper that former Ripple employee Robert Mitchnick who served as Head of Strategy and Product Marketing at Ripple and is now BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets published with Susan Athey former MIT and Harvard professor who is now a Professor of Economics of Technology at Stanford about XRP and the projected value they came up with. While you do that I am going to take out a $1 bill, and also a $5, $20, $50 and a $100 bill out of my wallet so I can look at the signature on all of them from a current Ripple board member.

Man, I feel for you. A month ago I got one of my wallets drained. I’m a retired CTO, look how far I fell. Just like the story we are commenting on, they saw me coming, and I did everything that they wanted. Yeah I mean it hurts. Don’t really have a whole lot of funds, retired fixed income, stuff happens. Wow I guess the worst part for me is that I think a lot of me getting hacked connected to dementia.PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! Enjoying food-free May courtesy of the hackers.

Pretend_Interview_65

Glad to see Ripple’s CTO clearing things up about XRP decentralization. It’s frustrating how often people equate central leadership with centralized tech. XRP Ledger has been open-source and validator-neutral for years. On a related note, platforms like BYDFi are starting to list more utility-focused tokens—just saw HUMA go live with a $5K rewards event. It's great to see exchanges backing real infrastructure use cases too.

hh_guru

Actually, Tangem is a great choice. Almost every major wallet has had security issues in the past (Ledger and Trezor included), but Tangem has never been hacked and even comes with a 25-year warranty. Feels like a safe and smart option to me. If you have concerns, I’d recommend checking out their AMAs on X, especially the ones with their CTO, those helped clear up a lot of potential doubts for me.

Tortich70

The way this community works is unparalleled. I have my own business, and any boss would be lucky to have such dedicated employees. The cool thing is, everyone here works for their own bags. This work ethic goes beyond anything I've ever seen. This regularly leads to us being accused of using bots when we, as a community, have set ourselves a goal that we're determined to achieve, like with Stocktwits. Perhaps it's because you can't imagine it if you don't experience it yourself. So, join our TG and experience the spirit. I mean, seriously, how many communities have emerged from a CTO with such strength?!?! Everything is in our hands, and we can achieve anything! Les goooo !

I was hesitant at first to take kendu seriously. It was one of the first meme coins I saw with such a big presence on reddit. I joined the telegram and was a long time lurker to try and figure out if it was really as community based as it was being advertised on here. Since the CTO there has been a lot of branding and advertising initiatives. Supporting local events and funding a couple networking opportunities that really seemed like it was moving in the right direction. Then I saw how real the people are. One of the members had a baby and some fellow kendu holders sent food/coffee to their room just because. Someone elses father had some health issues that was causing some financial hardship and they sent him over $5,000 to help them get back on their feet. Excellent community, excellent opportunity to be a part of the brand and run it up with some friends and have a great time doing it!

The conviction of Braden John Karony, former CEO of SafeMoon, on multiple charges including conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering is a significant legal development. He faces potential sentences of up to 45 years in prison, which underscores the serious legal ramifications tied to fraudulent activities within the cryptocurrency sector. This case serves as a critical reminder of the importance of compliance with regulatory standards and maintaining transparency to mitigate the risks associated with financial misconduct in the evolving landscape of digital currencies. * [Jury convicts ex-SafeMoon CEO on all charges - Cointelegraph](https://cointelegraph.com/news/safemoon-ceo-john-karony-guilty-new-york) * [SafeMoon CEO Convicted of Securities Fraud After Former CTO ...](https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/safemoon-ceo-convicted-fraud-cto-testified/) * [BREAKING: SafeMoon CEO Convicted Of Looting Crypto Company](https://www.law360.com/corporate/articles/2343312/breaking-safemoon-ceo-convicted-of-looting-crypto-company?about=corporate) ^(This is a bot made by [Critique AI](https://critique-labs.ai).

What an extremely arbitrary time range to look at. Look at the XRP and BTC all-time charts and genuinely ask yourself which looks better. XRP effectively did nothing from mid 2018 to mid 2021. It pumped briefly, crashing back and again effectively doing nothing from mid 2022 to late 2024. It’s pumping again now. BTC has obviously had big pullbacks too, but price didn’t stagnate for 2-3 year intervals multiple times. XRP is a pre-mind shitcoin with 42% of supply yet to be circulating and the majority of circulating supply controlled by the team. Their initial team’s CTO was also the founder of Mt. Gox which is single-handedly the worst event in crypto history, far worse than FTX. They lost 850K BTC (current value being about $93.5B) with Mt. Gox. FTX lost about $8B. Sounds like the type of chief technical officer you want creating the foundations of XRP alright… Good luck.

NewcastlePLchamps

He’s not my CTO. He has no obligation to act in my best interests, as you’ve been saying. He does however have an obligation to act in his shareholders best interests. All I’m saying, is that it’s in his shareholders best interests for their most valuable asset to continue appreciating in price.

JustStopppingBye

So you’re saying David Schwartz, your genius CTO, is wrong?

CriticalCobraz

It’s wild to see Karony publicly claim innocence and try to shift blame to the founder, even as his own CTO testifies against him and the blockchain forensics tell a completely different story.  SafeMoon was marketed as a safe, community-driven project, but the evidence shows it was just another rug pull with the usual playbook: hype, deception, and insiders cashing out at everyone else’s expense.

The main points are below. But I would join the discord and ask questions there, as there are people who are a lot smarter than I am who can better answer the technical questions. - L1 blockchain with the ability to process 10million TPS. There is a stress test coming to prove this in the next couple of weeks. - Ex Google CEO Eric Schmidt was an early investor and is close with the founder Ty Schenk. The project has been in the works for years now. - The CTO is Roy Keene, who was Nano’s lead developer during its peak. - Currently in Testnet, and Mainnet is scheduled to release in June. - Market Cap is only $100m. With the TPS potential, it will be able to rival and surpass existing L1’s. There is massive potential for huge returns. DYOR. I asked some questions in the discord, read through the documents and decided to invest. I’d advise you do the same and then make a decision

I understand but all of this while Coinbase barely has any support and Deribit's support got you a hop away from the CTO.

Even though the writings on the wall already, The CTO had a couple of his pals load up/pump the token with large initials and told them when to sell, One of the friends lives in a 8 figure home in the uk and runs a prestigious automotive club invite only and a YT channel, Apparent humble guy but literally admitted on a video a large chunk of his success was his pal aping into safemoon him matching the “investment” sweating for a few months then it blew leading to a call telling him to sell it won’t go higher.

tldr; Braden John Karony, ex-CEO of SafeMoon, pleaded not guilty to charges of securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering as his trial began in New York. Karony claimed innocence and suggested SafeMoon founder Kyle Nagy, who fled to Russia, was responsible for alleged fraud involving the SFM token. The trial, expected to run until May 26, includes testimony from former SafeMoon CTO Thomas Smith and a victim. Karony has been free on a $3 million bond since February 2024. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

CTO is a scam 100% of the time. There is no community takeover. It is just trash with more bundled bags from the devs to offload at the first sign of your success. 

Pale_Percentage9443

It was on a side chain, and the CTO literally posted about it on twitter. But yeah swept under the rug...

hamjamham

Eh? I saw it all over twitter with Ripple's CTO chiming in too.

Kendu has been CTO for nearly 4 months, we are far, far past the old ways imo. Our community strength has always been unmatched but for me, we turned over a new leaf ages ago

StreetRat_KenduMaxi

This is actually about as short and all-encompassing summary of Kendu possible. It certainly feels like we are still in damage control mode sometimes. A good rep and trust are extremely difficult to rebuild from the ground up, nevertheless Kendu is community! There's much persistent work still to be done to undo the devastation and restore faith in the project. Anybody who was repulsed by the god complex and the self-serving actions of the boy that was once the prominent face and voice of Kendu likely harbors a bitter taste in their mouths. We can only hope they have open minds to reconsider their now invalid negative opinions founded on how clunky things became before the CTO. We must live with our past, but not focus on it. The future is a blank canvas. You, dear reader, are in the driver's seat now

I asked Grok (X's AI) how strong the KENDU community is. Wrap-up of the answer: ''In summary, the Kendu Inu community is exceptionally strong, driven by organic growth, passionate initiatives, and a resilient, work-focused culture. Its ability to thrive post-CTO and achieve milestones like the CertiK audit underscores its potential, though it must navigate market volatility and past developer-related skepticism to maintain momentum.'' KENDU sendu.

>Years later, in a 2023 interview with The Guardian, Nvidia CTO Michael Kagan was more direct: “Crypto doesn’t bring anything useful for society,” he said, adding, “I never believed that \[crypto\] is something that will do something good for humanity,” contrasting it to AI.

BRO. Just look at all the donkey-ass coins you have seen come and go in the last couple of months. SnakeWifHat down 96%. DURR dead. RAWW soon to be rugged. And any other community that keeps spamming for a month then to be never heard of again. All the while, Anarchy has been here for the long haul, continuing strong, with dedicated degens and tons of holders who buy and buy and buy. It should be obvious to anybody now that Anarchy is the only one of these “altcoins” that anybody should be interested in, and the only one that isn’t a scam and is safe. Up over 80% this month by the way. It genuinely is a CTO, and genuinely is unruggable. Look at our tokenomics (57% of supply burned), look at our community, our conviction, our tirelessness and our dedication and faith. It is absolutely unmatched in the trenches, and on top there is *so* much shit cooking that is soon to be released. If you haven’t joined the movement even though you have seen us around forever, then do yourself a favor and get on board before it is too late. This ship is about to fucking SAIL. ⛵️

Who's on their Board? CEO, COO, CTO Etc? I'll wait.

Hold $PEPEC if you into CTO memes 👀

I've had a similar mindset for awhile now. As soon as my holdings on an exchange approach $1,000 I get nervous about someone else holding it for me. While many will tell you that these businesses want to stay in business... and losing BTC is a quick way to stop being in business... so there is that. The problem with crypto, is one entity in a business can cause problems (a thief, or a less than ethical CEO, CTO, or any of suite level person that might have an ability to access the funds of the exchange). That is to say, it's a lot easier for someone in a BTC exchange system to be shady with digital gold, than it would for an employee at a bank holding gold, to just walk out the door with that Gold. The easy of transfer... makes it tempting for these entities that hold large sums of it to do something nefarious. Avoid that risk... learn how to self custody... develop a mindset, and practice where you know you're able to be safer with your funds than some third party... you owe yourself that peace of mind.

Ya bro I’m the crazy one for posting a video of ripples CTO, admitting they only worked with banks in the beginning for a press release. Then on top of that, he states that banks didn’t actually want to move money with them. “Successful banks will never be a ripple success story” good luck with your African banks 😂

JustStopppingBye

All you have to do is research their CTO, David Schwartz, one of the biggest idiots in the industry. [https://x.com/JoeShmoe\_x/status/1864895092676235503](https://x.com/JoeShmoe_x/status/1864895092676235503) [https://x.com/JoelKatz/status/1897046113791959349](https://x.com/JoelKatz/status/1897046113791959349) They dont care about you. They just want to push news so idiots buy their token. XRP is an obsolete, irrelevant bank-themed memecoin that has been entirely replaced by stablecoins. Ripple even understands this, which is why they launched their own stablecoin.

olduvai_man

Your response to XRP being the most centralized project is to link me a tweet by the CTO?

MrRGnome

Bitbox's CTO is full of shit, and his own products have had CVEs what would be mitigated by airgaps including sidechannel attacks on the USB port. What you are posting is effectively misinformation.

Expert-Detective-525

I was hear before the CTO and I was hyped then, but I didn't work for my bag lol

phi_curious

Idk something just didnt feel right for me prior to CTO. And I can totally relate to the feeling of getting pulled in. That may be the Kendu effect, the feeling of empowerment and that you have an impact, is addictive.

phi_curious

Sounds like our stories are very similar. Joined around the same time, also only after a while I saw it on reddit - and after talking to a friend. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you got mostly active as a speaking member during the CTO time?

Expert-Detective-525

Great comment Axl, I also locked in when the CTO happened. Kendu is just gonna get better and better See you at Dubai Chad!!!

JustStopppingBye

Their CTO admitted it on a AMA. https://x.com/JoeShmoe_x/status/1864895092676235503

He was the CTO of Ripple. He's definitely in the 0.01% who would hold since crypto has been his life since its infancy.

Yep, after the CTO Kendu has got better and better

phi_curious

Yeah, CTO was the best thing to happen to KENDU, honestly. Couldn’t be any happier :))

they_call_me_mr_mac

Kendu had something special about it from the start. But since the CTO the community really shows what there made of, making big waves in the world.
