Both Gemini and Grok are underrated. I used to champion Gemini for a while, but lately I've been very happy with Grok, especially since the Grok 4.20 release with multi-agent. And now we have Grok 4.3!




🚨BREAKING🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷: IRAN NOW ACCEPTS BITCOIN AND CRYPTO FOR STRAIT OF HORMUZ PASSAGE. TANKERS ARE PAYING TOLLS IN CRYPTO. IF YOU THINK THIS JUST HAPPENED BY CHANCE, YOU'RE CLUELESS. THIS WAS TRUMP'S STRATEGY ALL ALONG. AND CHINA WILL FOLLOW. WE ARE NOW WITNESSING THE SHIFT FROM PETRODOLLAR TO PETRO-CRYPTO DOLLAR. AND AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL: $XRP AND $XLM.

















“XRP WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE.” No, this is not just David Schwartz’s confession. This was also said by the biggest financial giant of Japan, Yoshitaka Kitao, SBI Holdings CEO. SBI is Ripple’s largest external shareholder. And he says clearly: “XRP will be very expensive.” Here’s why it matters even more now. Ripple’s ties with Japan are growing fast: - SBI and Ripple have partnered since 2016 through SBI Ripple Asia, using XRP for real cross-border payments (like Japan to South Korea, India, Philippines). - February 2026: SBI launched a massive 10 billion yen (~$64 million) blockchain bond that rewards everyday investors with XRP, a first for a big Japanese bank. - They signed a deal to bring Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin to Japan (targeted for early 2026 via SBI’s licensed exchange). - Just weeks ago, SBI Ripple Asia teamed up with Asia Web3 Alliance Japan to help startups build real financial tools directly on the XRP Ledger. With the oil spike, reverse carry trade conditions, XRP will be the chosen neutral asset for the banking and financial system. This is one of Japan’s biggest financial giants doubling down on XRP’s real-world use with strong regulations behind them.
