Bro this is the best host I have ever seen. You ask really really good questions. You also have a very genuine and honest with no filter approach which is my favorite thing about you as a host. Keep up the great work man this channel is massively underrated
I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Strayer
I'm surprised that you just mentioned Natalie Strayer here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
Natalie Strayer has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
As it is now I think the best investment one can do is investing on Forex trading and crypto trading, I’m saying this because ever since I started trading I have seen a significant difference……
Well for me, I recently got into crypto and forex trading and I’m already marveling over the profits I am making. I’m like, “ how the hell have I been sleeping on this??
From $7K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
It is really refreshing to see a comment about Sophia I have worked with her also. her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the trend, She's the best i'll say..
This ripples stablecoin is coming for more than 8 years now, xrp ripple is the biggest long term scam in the market, its all about fake news and advertisements to collect more investors and scam them
Please hurry up and make the institutions buy XRP at high price because it's embedded in the retail mind that XRP is sub-1 dollar coin. We, the XRP ARMY, paid for Monica Long's house and all her expenses!!
Still unclear how the new RLUSD stablecoin will "complement" XRP ..... my fear is that the rl stablecoin will be a roaring success, whilst XRP will stagnate even further. I hope I am proven wrong
The token, XRP is nothing for Ripple's global payment system. You buy XRP like donation to Ripple, the company has own stock and if Ripple grows up, stock price will go up, not XRP.
It's not hard people. RLUSD needs XRP to exist if it's going to be on XRPL. Every token on XRP needs to hold XRP in order to move it around the ledger. So that means when RLUSD comes in, it costs xrp to "create" and "move". Now imagine once digital yuan, digital yen, RWAs: they all need XRP if they are to be on the XRPL. That's the main reason why they aren't in competition to each other. Also, stablecoin benefits are....its being STABLE. Not sure why people are making this hard to understand lol. Starting to think they are doing this on purpose. Lastly, it costs XRP to create trustlines on XRPL. That means when wallets want to have RLUSD option in their wallet, it costs 2 XRP to create and reserve that trustline. Now imagines CBSCs and these banks have millions of customers who want to have this digital currency of their country on the ledger. That's millions of xrp being "locked" up and out of circulation.
Ripple has businesses all over the world. Xrp benefit from this when people want to exchange rlusd to the currency of their country. Rlusd to Xrp to Japanese yen.
The proposed incineration of a substantial part of XRP's total circulation stands to significantly influence its market price. This reduction in available XRP would likely enhance its value, as scarcity tends to drive up prices. This scenario, along with Ripple's current legal proceedings and its formation of key alliances, might make XRP an especially appealing option for cryptocurrency investors. It's advisable for investors to keep a keen eye on Ripple's maneuvers and the corresponding market responses. Such movements could unveil distinctive investment prospects in the ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies. My coach, Elise Monroe , has emphasized the importance of understanding these market dynamics and staying informed about such pivotal events in the crypto realm.
It really helped trading with Elise Monroe analysis and info, even with the market in a downward trend. Definitely riding the market wave is a good perspective..
Productivity is never accidental; it is always the result of careful planning, dedication, and consistency. I am elated for my advisor, Elise Monroe with her help, I am now financially secure.
XRP XLM CAN NOT BE SECURITIES BECAUSE THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATION HAS DESIGNATED THEM CURRENCY PER 4217, 20017, 20022, Basil3. DYOR XRP XLM r the only 2 tokens out of 50,000+ other tokens that SETTLE ON DEMAND! XRP XLM are trading n charting like currencies? DYOR
@xrpvegas5407 XRP not the only token that performs this task. Look it up, and they are not going through any litigation. Ripple wants to get into the banking industry, but they have to pay.
Not very clear differentiation between use case for XRP versus stable coin ? Is XRP being sidelined in favour of stable coin solution for transactions ? Am I wrong ?
XRP comes in when they send RLUSD , USDC or EUSD or any other country’s stable coin cross border then XRP is needed to bridge the asset and cashed out or converted back to the sovereign currency of the country its being sent to. So the stable coins for every other country give XRP utility and gives it more purpose.
@@jazzr3616 yep, XRP will bridge all these stablecoins (and assets). Nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about ;) Keep packing your XRP bags bro while its cheap.
Googlesearch "does apple pay interledger protocol require xrp" .. _Apple integrates Ripple's Interledger in iOS 18 for the 'Tap to Pay' system. Ripple's ILP doesn't require XRP_ .._The Interledger Protocol is not a blockchain and doesn't have a native token. It also doesn't use tokens but allows people to send payments to each other using any payment method, including XRP_ _Any currency or asset can be used to transact on the Ripple Network, which doesn't need XRP to function. However, XRP provides liquidity when necessary, acting as a bridge between two_ My impression..if xrp has the use case as claimed for so long ..it would hv been used by institutions by now.. if institutions can use ILP or Ripplenet without involving XRP.. they surely would choose such a way.. why would any institutions opt to pay a fee (ie using XRP as a bridge) if they have the option avoid it? This could be the main reason why XRP has not, until today been used as a bridge for settlements
Great convo, accept the guest should’ve accomplished more research on stablecoin providers before stating a particular company’s issuance is a good hedge. Mind you, Usdt can be a decent hedge in the short term, as it’s supposedly pegged to the usd, but tether needs to be more transparent in the long run.
Agreed with David about efficiency. I always liked to argue that lazy people put a lot of effort into being lazy, so calling it efficiency is quite a good fit :)
Again, "carbon credits", why is that horridly deceptive claptrap even mentioned alongside blockchain? It's a pseudoscience, let's keep focused on reality please
ODL is cancelled? So cross boarder payments with XRP is done? They gave it up for a stable coin. They acquire polysign and standard custody, both companies that Ripple founders already own - so just another payday for Ripple founders payed for by XRP holders. Now they are trying to get Japan and Korea to build stuff on xrp to compete with... what, Ethereum and Solana?? Yeah Right. If there is no ODL or Cross Boarder Payments then XRP is done for. Selling the rest of my bag, this company is lost.
