PayPal’s co-founder Luke Nosek has said that his firm initially wanted to create a digital currency that would be independent from banks and governments, similar to crypto. The video of his comments was uploaded to crypto streaming service Bloxlive.Tv on Thursday, Jan. 31.
PayPal, a payment system whose active number of users has surpassed 254 million in Q3 2018, has recently launched a blockchain-based reward system for its employees. PayPal employees are granted tokens for participating in innovation-related programs and contributing ideas, and can exchange them for over 100 “experiences” within the company.
