@SenWarren Your intended audience must be bots because anyone with a brain would see past the rediculousness of this post.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the fraudster who stole at least $8 billion from customers using his crypto exchange, just endorsed the CLARITY Act. That should set off alarm bells. Any crypto market structure bill must protect investors, our financial system, and American taxpayers.

@ChadSteingraber Good riddance to them

Jane Street offline. Things are about to get really fun.

@C3_Nik I get the same issue on YouTube. I've been following Digital Perspectives for years but ( in the last year or so) they stopped appearing in my Notifications list.

The X algorithm 🤷🏻‍♂️

@JoelKatz @Justin_Bons I trust the prior work of these legends so my life can happen. They trusted the giants before them. For me, that chain is more than good enough: David Schwartz Isaac Newton James Clerk Maxwell Albert Einstein Max Planck Werner Heisenberg Erwin Schrödinger Richard Feynman

"You keep saying it makes no practical difference who makes the rules or who the kingmaker is, but that is also where we disagree. You are underestimating how much damage that can do when governance goes bad." Maybe. But maybe you are underestimating how much of a difference it makes that nobody has any legal right to dictate how the system works or has any practical way to compel most of the system's users to operate the system in any particular way. I think 95% of what makes these systems great comes from these factors: 1) All system state is public. 2) All system rules are public. 3) Everyone who wants to can participate in the system by running a node that enforces all system rules. 4) Nobody has any legal right or practical way to compel anyone else to interact with the system in any way that they do not wish to. I think it follows almost automatically from these rules that if there's any serious disagreement over how the system should work, everyone gets what they want. The only constraint on them getting what they want is that they cannot interoperate with anyone who they don't agree on the rules with. But that constraint is an unavoidable fact of reality. Because of these reasons, I think most of the focus on decentralization (for those systems that share these four core characteristics) is misplaced. It's just short-term operational decentralization, and that doesn't really matter all that much.

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! 🔥

@MonicaLongSF @digitalassetbuy #XRP

After one of crypto’s most exciting years (and Ripple’s), the industry is entering its production era. In 2026 we’ll see the institutionalization of crypto — trusted infrastructure and real utility will push banks, corporates, and providers from pilots to scale — across stablecoins, onchain assets, crypto custody, and broader institutional investment. A true inflection point for institutional adoption and the Internet of Value. With that, here are some of my top predictions for 2026:

Answer without Ai Let's try and win $1000

@AskUphold Where's there info on the xrp backed lending products for Florida's residents?

@oelma__ You can't bank it they'll ask too many questions. You can't buy anything expensive with it either, the government will come after after you. Just use it as your entertainment float and party!

This is dropped off on your porch. What do you do?

@beyond_broke Happy New Year Jake ! What happened to the price appreciation you were 99.999 percent certain of ? I'd love to know the answer so I can adjust my portfolio accordingly !

Ripple signing over 1,700 non-disclosure agreements probably isn't random. These most likely cover talks with major players—governments, global banks, payment networks, big universities, and Fortune 500 firms—all laying the groundwork to use XRP. The pieces for mass adoption have been falling into place behind the scenes for quite a while.

@RipBullWinkle If the current Ripple owners IPO then that is also a sale of their XRP holdings . That's a new phase for XRP. Probably maturation of utility.

🚀Ripple #XRP IPO LEAKED 2026 Talks Are Already Underway!

Cha-Chingle all the way! Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year 2026 to you all! We got this!

@JoelKatz 😆

"10X times"

@ChadSteingraber I'd love to belive that some really brainy guy, brainier that all the cryptographers in the bitcoin core development area, is on xrp & sees a moon event on the horizon, but it just ain't true man. He's nothing more than a Korean Jake Claver saying what we all want to here 🐂💩

☀️

@CryptoTony__ anxiety and denial .

Where do you think we are now?

@Cobb_XRPL 😵‍💫

What is the % chance he mentions XRP

@WatcherGuru is that a good idea ? Cost of Safety will always conflict with profit margins and stock price.

JUST IN: SpaceX plans to go public at $1.5 trillion valuation in 2026, the largest IPO in history, Bloomberg reports.

@XrpDw @ChadSteingraber

@ChadSteingraber I can’t wait until the manipulation ends.

Wall Street is coming… ✅

This is still valid . $xrp

@XRP_Avengers @$500..... quit the day job? probably . retire ? probably not , that's boring

Would you retire if $XRP hit $500? #XRP 🚀🌕
