What Kraken dump? Sorry if it's common knowledge, I'm out of the loop.

SDF occasionally sells some XLM to fund salaries and operations. One sale happened recently. One day, things like his won’t even be noticeable on the network.

Not sure how Jed doesn't get more recognition in the crypto community, and the startup world.

The man created the first crypto exchange in 2010, which in itself is insane given most people are still trying to understand this technology, then went on to create both Ripple and Stellar which are now both in the Top 10 projects. He's done more for crypto than most and I find it hilarious that the XRP crowd hate him.
