@FeloniousCazz @RinoTheBouncer I won’t pay $70 for games that don’t meet my expectations.

@TheFreeTwo Buy my course on how to quit Amazon

Amazon FBA X has been very quiet since the year started… Did everyone quit? Or are sellers just having a rough start to 2026? Feels very different compared to previous years.

@SECGov we all knew this idiot was in the wrong side of history

TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets. This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets. Read the release here: ow.ly/XhhV50YvxvO

@capexbt @kshvbgde ok I have to ask…why to you sign your posts with your name when your name clearly shows to it

@kshvbgde They're slow ASF. - cape

it's over for us when LinkedIn finally finds about this in three weeks

@BCResource @vmfunc @Nintendo gawd you people are retarded

@vmfunc @Nintendo The question is if Nintendo allowed it?

This has ruined my perception of the Nintendo brand and will never be purchasing Nintendo products. @Nintendo

@vmfunc @vladuhat999 @Nintendo Actually publicly admitting what you’re doing is almost as retarded as the idea itself

@vladuhat999 @Nintendo the point of these posts is to build legal evidence for whenever nintendo sues the white house

@ScamDetective5 you might be the biggest crybaby on X

Somewhere on this chart, Ripple signed 100s of partnerships. Can you find where?

@chikun stop all that damn crying

@Mastercard And yet the best decentralized blockchains like Litecoin have no voice precisely because they are the true commodity cryptocurrencies.

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally. Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.

@MaximusDec33012 @WhaleFUD dude replaced part of his name with a plant and thought it was an insult 😂😂😂

@WhaleFUD Brad Garlichouse and Chris Larsen sell $XRP * and Ripple have been dragging the case out. Not the SEC. ….and the winner is… $XLM 🏆

Ripple sells XRP, then uses the proceeds for Ripple share buybacks. Venture capital firms and institutional investors buy equity in Ripple, not XRP. Retail is the liquidity. Wall Street is the winner.

@Go0chikins @WWEgames stop all that damn crying

@WWEgames Why is every mode is this game a god damn grind

@Heccles94 Twitter doesn’t even exist

Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source. Twitter is not a news source.

@mask_bastard @WilliamShatner wtf is Twitter

@WilliamShatner I don’t like this. An everything app is not exactly what I need from Twitter. Twitter should be Twitter.

Here’s a few more screenshots. There’s a debit card with cash back too! 😳😱

@bgarlinghouse @DefendDark @POTUS Crybaby ass banks

An extremely pointed message from @POTUS to those who are dragging their feet on CLARITY. This is, and always has been, about what’s in the best interest of the American people.

@iubemcesarsouza @blinkdeyo @darnyy_abiola This shit sucks ass

@0nlyk1tt3n Ego lifting is so retarded

not sure

@Justin_Bons @JoelKatz you are so completely ignorant…you don’t even know the correct name of it, let alone how it actually works

In order of your posts: 1. Your own BTC node will also not double-spend if you do not agree, but the network will 2. Which would fork you off the chain... 3. "Just picking a new UNL" is a major coordination problem, one XRP solved through a centralized authority 4. This is how censorship could occur: Regulatory/legal compliance pressure to censor TXs on the OFAC list. XRP itself might even come under pressure to revise the list in line with these requirements. (FYI, BTC & ETH never had censored TX's, it was only delayed at worst) 5. I see no issue with that mechanism specifically. The issue for me is the permissioned validators. Since we have to acknowledge the source of their power/authority: XRP, the foundation & the company are effectively the "king maker" here. As you are solving the coordination problem, not through work or stakeholders. But by literally publishing a validator list & claiming that is not permissioned because anyone can run one... Anyone can run one, in the same way anyone can run a node with BTC code that rejects a double spend following by a 51% attack. That does not mean it does not happen on the "canonical" chain. That is why PoW exists in the first place; it is not like Satoshi created a foundation that then publishes a list of validators to solve the very coordination PoW solves, but that is what XRP does! 6. Winning that court case was a win for all of crypto; I cannot deny that. So, thank you for that! It might also be true that, currently, it goes against your incentives to attack your own network. But that is not my point, my point is that technologically & socially, there are scenarios where that could happen Explaining why I do not consider it "credible neutral" or anywhere near as resilient to a PoS chain at a hypothetically global scale. Because XRP is fundamentally permissioned, something I am acutely aware of when I look at the power relationships as a political scientist For reference, I also consider PoW to be fundamentally flawed as a governance mechanism, too, so that you better understand where I am coming from, as I am not a "crazed maxi" Moving XRP over to a PoS style consensus, combined with advanced scalability & stakeholder governance, would even make me a XRP supporter! We both want crypto to succeed Can you please focus on one point at a time in the future so we can go one point at a time? That is far more productive. As you tend to leave very long responses that cover a lot of different subjects, which makes it takes a lot of effort to respond. That is also why I would have very much preferred jumping on a Spaces or podcast with you. Which we can still do some other time if you like Thank you for responding seriously, as you have also done in the past!

We must reject all centralized "blockchains"! This includes Ripple, Canton, Stellar, Hedera & Algorand Centralization is not the future of finance; requiring permission from an authority is not decentralized! Do not be fooled by their lies, as the truth will set us free: 🧵 Ripple: Has a "Unique Node List", which makes the validators effectively permissioned. As any divergence from this centrally published list would cause a fork, effectively giving the Ripple Foundation & company absolute power & control over the chain Canton: The validator set is totally permissioned! Stellar: A similar set-up to XRP, except that they call it "recommended Tier 1 organizations," which is published by the Stellar Development Foundation. However, just like XRP, a high overlap is required, or you risk forking off the network. Effectively putting the power in the hands of the list creator Hedera: The validator set is totally permissioned! Algorand: The "relay nodes" in ALGO are still totally permissioned. Despite validators being permissionless, anyone now has the option to run a "participation node" after they recently implemented a P2P network as an alternative means to propagate TXs. Which means the relay nodes can no longer act as gatekeepers. However, it is unclear how much removing them entirely would affect performance today. Possibly making them a necessary aspect of ALGO's current design Forms of Consensus: Within a blockchain context, there are only three forms of consensus: Proof of Stake, Proof of Work & Proof of Authority If a blockchain does not use PoS or PoW, it is, by definition, PoA! As this was fundamentally an unsolved problem before blockchain came along, which solved this problem through the use of token-based incentives, either through stake or work Anything that does not fit that consensus model is instead fundamentally based on authority/trust. In the case of XRP & XLM, it is important to keep in mind that choosing who we trust is not the same as trustlessness! Binary Choice: A blockchain is either fully permissionless or it is not. ALGO has permissioned elements in its design, so it is still "centralized". A crude way to use language, but we do still need understandable schelling points in crypto. As decentralization is a spectrum, permissionlesness is only one element of that bigger picture. However, personally, any permissioned elements are a deal breaker for me, as it is so anti-thetical to the ethos of crypto that it defeats its entire raison detre Institutional Adoption: Much like the early internet, big institutions are uncomfortable using fully permissionless, public & decentralized networks. So, much like the early internet, those institutions will be left behind. The big winners are the crypto natives. That is true historically & it will also be true in the future too. The big winners during the early internet were the newcomers, not the old guard, for the same reasons we see playing out in crypto now Conclusion: The future of finance is decentralized & permissionless. If you cannot understand that, it is fine. There are other options for you on the free market But let's not pretend as if these chains are really playing a part in this revolution. Quite the opposite, centralized "crypto" is a distraction that only slows the goals of our movement down So, if you care about crypto. Reject these permissioned chains & demand they decentralize. In the meantime, we should vote with our feet & support chains that carry our movement forward towards its intended goals instead Credible neutrality, censorship resistance, privacy, immutability & more can only be achieved on a fully permissionless & decentralized blockchain That is the revolution we were promised & that is the future we can now bring about with the choices we make collectively Crypto is on the right side of history, disrupting power away from centralized authorities to help create a freer & more equitable world! 🔥
