When Ripple wins this, XRP will be forever linked to the landmark case that propelled this industry forward, basically, The US Gov. vs XRP. XRP has always been a very unique coin. It makes sense that this community will take on this role.

In an industry of middlemen, extractors, and vampire economics, $XRP still baffles some. This industry was built on separating fiat from retail. It was built around 25 different middlemen agencies who could all take a cut. PR & Marketing agencies, market makers, crypto media,

There was a time when an XRP spot ETF was just a distant fantasy. We were buried at the bottom of regulatory hell. We were told we were going to lose the case. We were told we would never see $1 ever again. We we're told no one would ever buy $XRP. It was all in our heads. Today

Your mind is meant to bear fruit, stop letting it rot. Find brilliant people in your field and make friends with them and ask them the important questions. Stop engaging with assholes. Read books. Real books. Old, dusty, used books. Get obsessed with something and become an

Speculating with @HaraldoXRP on why Ripple decided to raise $500M by selling shares, instead of simply selling XRP, leads us to an interesting question. Citadel Securities market makes 35% of the US retail market. $654B in trades per day. They are huge. Is there a synergy

Putting Ripple Swell and the XRPL devs, businesses and XRP holders all under one roof next year is a truly symbolic shift and obvious sign of where we’re going. There were years of claims that Ripple was pivoting away from XRP. There are still those claims by those who can’t

The M&A strategy for Ripple is clear, per Brad. Ripple is THE blockchain infrastructure company. Period.

Just spoke to Brad, he said there is definitely room for more (or many) XRP DATs, but quality over quantity stands.

By far the funniest panel, @arrington did his best to both roast @bgarlinghouse and get @ashgoblue and @JoelKatz to reveal non-public XRP info (he failed). What was revealed is that the clear differentiator for @evernorthxrp is the ability to bring XRP yield from a publicly

XRPL underpins a tech stack that now includes Rail + Palisade. Companies can get an out of the box payment solution or can customize with api’s. But the real vision comes from years of hard work in the fragmented regulatory world of global finance. Ripple’s 60+ global

Who is going to Ripple Swell? Anyone want to meet up, send me a DM.

Which road would you consider more valuable? A road where millions of cars traffic daily going back and forth over and over? A road where thousands of trucks filled with gold move back and forth daily? I speculate towards the later.

People often equate XRP's only use case as x border payments because that's what Ripple first publicly positioned it as. XRP is all the great things that BTC is, and also this. XRP is whatever people use it as, not how it was once marketed positively or negatively.
@scottmelker Do you want to use a blockchain where people can be their own bank and no middlemen tax their transactions or do you want to be someone else's bank and tax their transactions? If you want the latter, there are dozens of blockchains for you. If you want the former, there's XRP. I

Ripple partnered with Moneygram 6 years ago and it ended after the lawsuit. Western Union issuing a single USD stable coin on Solana is nice adoption, but mostly a lukewarm event in today's world of mass adoption. The fact that Solana and its lead dev are calling this a dark

One of Ripple’s own Partnerships leads is telling us that more public partnerships with Swell speakers are coming. We’ve heard a few, but Blackrock, Fidelity, Citi, Nasdaq and others yet to be announced. XRP is headed to the top of finance next year.

While the rest of crypto tries to integrate their DeFi into TradFi, Ripple is integrating their TradFi into their DeFi. This is the single stroke of genius that will define XRP's success. Ripple has strategically circumvented the system to simply become TradFi 2.0.

It seems @bgarlinghouse woke up today and chose violence - now kicking the haters while they're down. They may have to go into full silent retreat or just begin muttering to themselves long disproven FUD. $XRP The Standard never left, but it's officially fucking back.
