Haseeb reveals Peter Thiel tried to create Bitcoin before it even existed but regulators shut it down "Peter Thiel wanted Paypal to basically do what Bitcoin did, Peter Thiel wanted Paypal to have a form of money that was completely untethered from the banks" "Their idea was to have an untethered currency that was gonna be the native currency of the internet” “But they got slapped down by the regulators, the regulators said no, of course not are you an idiot? They then had to go partner with Wells Fargo and the rest is history”
