In 2017,I received likely the highest ⁦#UberEATS ping ever while at 8300m at Camp 3 on #Everest North Side.Sadly it was confirming burgers for my daughters at sea level!A few hours later(with no crowds)I was honoured to carry the #uber flag with our 600+ cities to the #summit.

@andrewgordonmac Congratulations @andrewgordonmac and Team Uber! Amazing how far this product has come since the Comfort Cab deal in Singapore in late 2017. Well played.

Important step (after NYC, Rome, SF, Paris, Istanbul+) on our journey to Get All Taxis on Uber - adds up to 15K drivers to our platform in London - 85% of Black Cabs already use at least one app - given iconic/differentiated experience, we will offer as standalone option to start

Good Morning Bangkok! The @Ripple crew was out in full force last night, lighting up the front of The W Bangkok as we gear up to host our first Thailand Policy Summit later this morning. Looking forward to an action-packed day of awesome content and discussion in this key market.

Wrapping up several weeks on the road repping @Ripple - from the IFF in Kigali, to the #PointZeroForum in Zurich this week. It is super encouraging to witness the open dialogue that @MAS_sg pursues with the private sector, toward the goal of advancing the digital asset ecosystem.

Strong write up from ⁦@ClaireHuangInc⁩ today in @STcom on ⁦@Ripple⁩m’s in-principle approval for a MPI license from @MAS_sg - this will allow us to provide regulated digital payment token services.Proud of this huge ⁦@Ripple⁩ team effort! straitstimes.com/business/block…

Excited to be back in Africa speaking at #InclusiveFinTechForum. Great panel alongside @Circle @SwiftCommunity @ThunesPayments @Mojaloop and @ADLittle where I talked about crypto's huge potential to solve for payments interoperability globally. Two more panels tomorrow! #IFF2023

Awesome to be back in my old hometown,Hong Kong, where the Web3 energy level is super high! ⁦@Ripple⁩ was honored to be selected by the ⁦@hkmagovhk⁩ to showcase a real estate asset tokenization use case in the HKMA’s e-HKD CBDC pilot program. digfingroup.com/ripple-asia/

4/ There's a lot of doom and gloom in the industry at the moment, but here at @Ripple we are out on the road hard continuing to look towards building real-world utility for crypto.

3/ And on Thursday, I made a virtual appearance at #BlockchainAfrica alongside @notgwera from our partner @MFS_Africa where we had a fantastic discussion on the outlook for crypto on the continent. As with Korea, I'm convinced there are good things to come from there!

1/ Wow, last week was quite a week! We're very sorry to see the difficulties that the US tech industry has faced in recent days, but at @Ripple we remain focused on building. Over the past week I've been fortunate enough to be able to take our story to two dynamic markets.

A few months ago @Ripple announced its partnership with @MFS_Africa to bring the benefits of #crypto payments to Africa. I'm excited to be appearing at @BlockchainZA next week with MFS's @notgwera to discuss our partnership and the future of crypto on the continent! #BAC2023

Always great to catch up with @Forkast_News and the dynamic @AngieTVLau discussing @Ripple’s outlook on the crypto industry - despite some serious turbulence, the opportunity for real world use cases remains strong, and why we believe APAC can lead the way. Let’s keep building.

@svatikirsten @outsidemagazine @JeffSharlet Amazing story, super well told. Well done @svatikirsten!

Today @outsidemagazine published a story I started working on a decade ago in a @jeffsharlet class at Dartmouth. It’s about Nanda Devi Unsoeld, who died in 1976 while trying to climb the mountain she was named after. outsideonline.com/outdoor-advent…

Joined @CoinDesk today covering just about everything - CBDCs, @Ripple joining the Blockchain X Climate Network, company growth in 2022, and how sentiment around #crypto utility still remains optimistic (especially in jurisdictions w/ regulatory clarity). Check out the full clip:

@sarahlichang @ForkastLabs @Forkast_News @cryptoslamio Awesome news! Great to see you in Davos today. Congratulations @AngieTVLau!
