Utility Obviously ⚖️

This is when I'll be forced to abandon my #XRP/#XLM thesis... Commercial Banks, Institutions and Corporations are relatively easy to on-board into new financial technologies. Their business models are for-profit, their systems are for-profit. Whatever makes sense to bring more profit, they will adopt assuming they're legally allowed to do so. Such Institutions generally operate cross-border with shallow allegiance to the nation in which may hold their head office. They're flexible and adaptive amongst themselves because they handle the risk to their bottom line. But Central Banks are far different. Central Banks do not seek profit. They have very little room for flexibility. Their parameters for operating are rigid. They act based on multinational agreements, decades apart. They adapt and change infrequently. But we are in a season of change now. And while we see much advancement in Commercial side, Central Banks have yet to make their move. They are confined to clearing houses, RTGS interlinking, correspondent banking and FX markets. Central Banks require liquid currency markets to manage sovereign value transfer and wholesale settlement. Since we're in a season of change, it is my conclusion that the existence of global reserve currencies with ties to nation-states will soon fade away. The world will not accept a repackaged national reserve currency in digital form. The only way to solve Triffins Dilemma and propel the world into the future is by introducing a super-sovereign currency that can feed the liquidity needs of the currency markets. The problem and solution have been identified. And until I see a more fitting solution taking hold and nations aligning towards it, I see XRP and XLMs ultimate use cases still unrealized. PS: Why I stay a duel XRP/XLM maxi is because the idea of complete reliance on a single ledger to provide liquidity for all currency markets is neither wise nor safe. Parallel redundancy is needed in the event one fails/glitches/bugs so that markets and in turn nations, have minimal disruption.

See you in 2026.

If you think governments/central banks will entrust their sovereign money to proof-of-work or proof-of-stake systems—where control is dictated by profit-hungry miners and staking pools—you’re fooling yourself. Adjust your thesis. #XRP #XLM

$mXRP is now live and available on dex.anodos.finance We are proud to be one of the main @axelar partners for this launch and allow easy access to mXRP directly on XRPL!

@DesertLife1970 @Vivi177497 @Rainmaker1973 My assumption is true. I've traveled plenty, and I pick D.

@Vivi177497 @UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 There it is. It's settled. 😋

Which do you choose?

@JamesBREI06 @Rainmaker1973 No. You're very very wrong.

@UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 Very very wrong. Well traveled. Give me G all damn day

If we are talking about the variety of different foods available for consumption, G would be the answer. You can find specialty food from any country in the US. If we are talking country-specific cuisine, D would be the answer because it includes European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Australian(very western) cuisine.

@Solagical @UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 And honestly, it includes NYC meaning I can likely get anything from the other regions prepared by a 3 Michelin Star chef.

@Vivi177497 @Rainmaker1973 Only my subjective opinion is correct.

@UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 Your assumption is incorrect. I’ve traveled plenty, and I pick G.

BBQ is too generic. Every culture does BBQ. Baja is Mexican. Sushi is Japanese. Jamaican and Dominican are Caribbean, so pick one or the other. Colombian, Brazilian and Peruvian are so similar it's basically one type of food and none are known internationally as being exceptional. I think the list should include foods that are very dissimilar to be fair.

@davidlh @Rainmaker1973 I'm a generic Canadian that grew up with boring white people food. Meat.Starch.Veg. Hot sauce changed my life when I was 11

@UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 I’m Mexican, so I couldn’t live without it 😬

@davidlh @Rainmaker1973

@UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973

@davidlh @Rainmaker1973 While Mexican is one of my favorites, it can't compete with Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Lebanese, Greek, Italian, Afghani, Korean

@UtilityFTW @Rainmaker1973 G includes Mexican and even Spanish 🙄🙄🙄

@tkawaja @Rainmaker1973 Thai and Chinese are also some of the best.

@Rainmaker1973 D. Final answer. Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Indian, Japanese and Burmese!

@thatdudereed_ 10min incoming! 🔥

Walk with me for my new record on the treadmill 💪 #gym #fitness #journey

@AustRefugee @Rainmaker1973 Unfortunately, the warning needs to accompany the video. Some idiots out there will duplicate this and not know that it's only a matter of minutes before one can pass out.

@Rainmaker1973 Breathing carbon dioxide and starving your body of oxygen, is dangerous.!!

@cryptopsychman Expect nothing until the adoption wave is obvious. Thats how I remain emotionally disconnected.

Do you really think replying with “nu-uh people don’t use it” counts as a serious rebuttal in a discussion about decentralization? If you’d like, I’d be glad to hear an actual argument... What do you think decentralization means, and in what ways do you believe the XRPL fails to measure up?

MiCA can say whatever it wants But decentralisation isn't what a PDF claims.. it's what the network proves I’ve talked to real people building in compliance, FX, and payments And guess what? They don’t use $XRP. Not because they missed the LCX memo… but because they’ve read the brochure, and moved on. Happy to break it down again

Proof that XRP(L) is decentralised! And is it even more decentralised than blockchains with other consensus mechanisms? 🤔 LCX released a MiCA (EU crypto regulations) white paper for XRP! Let's take a look at what LCX say and why it's important. 👇 1/6

Introducing the next building block of onchain markets – we’re partnering with @DBSbank and @FTI_Global to establish repo markets powered by tokenized collateral and stablecoins: on.ripple.com/421bxVL Investors will be able to use $RLUSD to trade for Franklin Templeton’s money market fund, sgBENJI, tokenized on the XRP Ledger, and listed on DBS’s digital exchange, earning yield and opening new liquidity venues. Institutional momentum is building onchain.

@RT_com What a loser. ABC as a private company made a decision with no known governmentpressure. Meanwhile, countless people got canceled 2020-2024 if they spoke up against immigration policy or trans ideology.

Chuck Schumer thinks Jimmy Kimmel getting canceled 'page right out of Xi’s playbook' 'This is what DICTATORS do, what Xi, Putin would do' 'DESPICABLE, against democratic values'
