I used an LLM (ChatGpt) and this was my prompt:

“For a class about Blockchain, tokens, and their business application where right now we are
focused on Digital Cash History, Cryptography, and Decentralization. I want you to write a
succinct summary about Paypal” with this output:

“Certainly! PayPal, founded in December 1998 by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek, is
a widely used online payment platform. Initially, it emerged as a financial tool for Palm Pilot
payments before evolving into the digital giant we know today.

PayPal enables users to make online transactions securely without sharing their financial
information with the recipient. It gained prominence as a reliable alternative to traditional paper
methods and quickly became a popular choice for online sellers and buyers.

The platform utilizes cryptography to safeguard financial details, employing encryption for data
protection. Over the years, PayPal has played a crucial role in the digital cash landscape,
promoting the concept of secure, decentralized transactions. While not based on blockchain
technology, PayPal has significantly influenced the online payment ecosystem, contributing to
the ongoing discussion on the future of digital cash and decentralized finance.”

I had to modify the output with my previous knowledge and based on the internet.
