The PayPal Mafia was a group of people who influenced and created what PayPal is today. The first two members were Peter Thiel and Max Levchin who created the earliest version which was called Confinity, the next notable member was Elon Musk who bought Confinity and changed the name to X.com and a long list of other, less notable people who went off and worked for and created many other companies. The name came to be when a picture of them all in Mafia attire was on Fortune Magazine, minus Elon Musk, who later took a self portrait in Mafia attire.
Wow! What an interesting story of how one of the largest online transaction -aids came to be! It is really inspiring, also, to see how many connections and ideas have flown out of the concept of PayPal – think of Elon in this example! This is a great demonstration of a Liquid Network!
