Just curious if I'm the only one down that rabbit hole? Seems like a for sure maybe long shot |
I'm on break.
| I've been buying weekly into cold wallets and have moved into ETFs as well as a little 2 leveraged. I'm also buying SOL, HBAR, and XLM in addition to BTC and ETH. I am currently heaviest in XRP. Everything will be tokenized. I'm betting XRP will get a significant portion of that market. |
| For the last couple months I have been going through papers at my office. I remembered I created a wallet and printed it out. Can't remember how much XRP I moved into it, but it was at .006 at the time, so it wouldn't take much to be significant. No idea what happened to that paper, but it has to be here somewhere. |

I believe XRP will be used to move money internationally. There is a very strong use case there and it saves billions in fees. I also believe everything will be tokenized over the next 5-10 years. I am looking at tokens that will facilitate that. |

It appears that the supply is not fixed or capped, rather it goes down from the original amount minted, with no more minting possible. |

Edit: I may have misunderstood the way burning and minting works with XRP. It appears that the supply is not fixed or capped, rather it goes down from the original amount minted, with no more minting possible. The total supply was "pre-mined" at 100Bn, with 60Bn circulating and some is burned in gas fees for each transaction. In addition there are lots of theories on how Ripple can meet the holding requirements in the Clarity act. They hold Around 40% of XRP, much in escrow, and that has to be below the 20% threshold. There may be things we don't know about the who actually holds all of that. So they need to release that data, which would be interesting, or they need to burn or dispose of enough to align with that threshold. Along with the recent acquisitions and Ripple becoming a bank, they are poised to take advantage of the entire financial back end. "Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, stated that XRP serves as a "foundational building block" due to its role in enabling real-time, low-cost cross-border settlements via the XRP Ledger (XRPL)" They were at Davos (along with Hedera). They have had an ongoing relationship with the Whitehouse. There is also speculation that the US holds a significant amount in a strategic reserve. Multiple ETFs released with rumors of Blackrock coming on board at shortly. Lot of good news. I am also heavy in ETH, HBAR, XLM, and SOL though. There is so much money that is incoming that I just want to pick one winner. It should offset any that remain stagnant. |
| Any opinions on CleanSpark (CLSK) the bitcoin mining outfit? One of the talking heads on some financial show was quite bullish on it a couple of weeks ago. |

Currently dropped a zero up 121% Radiant is up 70 percent I have a long list of losers- but again, I'm buying penny crypto for average 30 bucks each. Literally playing the lottery. Still buying xrp |

It’s almost like some entity is trying to suppress the price of XRP. Maybe there isn’t any intrinsic value to the token but, there’s certainly a lot going on that involves XRP/RLUSD and investment firms and currencies around the world. |
