David Chaum of XX Network first founded a company called DigiCash, or the first digital currency company, in 1989, using “eCash” as the trademark (Now what is called digital currency or “cryptocurrency”).
Chris Larsen owned the domain “ecash. com” in 1997 for his E-Loan venture. In 1998, David Chaum’s DigiCash, or “eCash” company went bankrupt.
However, in 2000, just two years after Chaum’s eCash company (DigiCash) went bankrupt, sued Chaum for trademark infringement and unfair competition. While a legal battle continued for over a year, eCash Technology went bankrupt as well, and the domain name stayed with Chris Larsen and no penalties were issued.
eCash Technology was acquired by Naveen Jain’s Infospace company in 2002.
Chris Larsen “gifted” the domain eCash.com to David Chaum in 2018, and Chris Larsen invested in Chaum’s Mixx Labs just after.

Barney Pell's startup Powerset, which focused on natural language search, was acquired by Microsoft in 2008 for about $100 million. Powerset's technology was integrated into Microsoft's search efforts, helping enhance its search engine capabilities. After the acquisition, Pell joined Microsoft and contributed to the development of Bing, which launched in 2009.
Microsoft was founded just 1 day before the alleged birthday of Satoshi Nakamoto on 4.4.1975.
Barney Pell, Bill Gates, and many others mentioned throughout this thread, including those who funded Barney Pell’s Powerset, all have ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein hosted a major event called Mindshift in the very early days of Bitcoin, where he invited all the leading tech minds, transhumanists, and crypto enthusiasts and founders, including Brock Pierce.
Reid Hoffman, a PayPal mafia member with close ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the Thiel network, also works with Microsoft. Reid also works with Mozilla, OpenAI, and was on the advisory board for MIT Media Lab, where many crypto projects originated and where Jeffrey Epstein donated a lot of funds to.
