42nd Street Station, New York City
XRP is everywhere. The station, the platforms, and even inside the train.
@XRP will skyrocket soon @Ripple is up to something big. This is in New York City 42nd street train station even inside of the train everything XRP. Like @RosieRios said the train has left the station. @MTA even knows its just like @bgarlinghouse said XRP is the North Star.
The $1k bag was never the bottleneck. Almost no one can name the coin they'll still be adding to after a full year of zero attention while every new narrative is printing 10x and rent is due
Some people think that they don’t have enough money to simply hold, and that’s why they feel the need to trade.
Terribly misguided take.
If you have $1,000, it’s more than enough to simply hold and change your life
Because that 1,000x will only come from simply holding for a few years
Trading, on the other hand, will grind you down to 0, and then you will restart with a $100 and enter the gambling spiral.
Think about the guys who put $1,000 into Bitcoin in 2013 at $15
That did 10,000x
Turned $1,000 into $10,000,000
And those weren’t even the earliest guys. Real early was 2010-2011, BTC under $1
A very similar thing is happening now
A certain coin is amassing an army of die-hard early Bitcoiner-like zealots whose presence has been growing behind the scenes for years.
Most people can’t see it just like most people couldn’t see Bitcoin in 2012, only visionaries have the gut feel to identify these things so early.
You will be seeing headlines about it soon enough.
The vast majority of life-changing crypto stories come not from trading, not from gambling, not from rotating but from simply HOLDING these kinds of assets for prolonged periods of time (3+ years)
Thank you for your attention.
PS: look into spx6900. flip the stock market.
Weekend books are so thin every stop hunt looks like the end of the world.
Hayes already on cash, ETFs closed, and half the timeline still posting "this is the dip"
Same guys who swore the bid was permanent are now arguing with charts on a Sunday.
Classic thin liquidity theater.
Who's actually buying with size once Asia and the US open?
Hayes dumps the entire book the second macro looks spicy.
ETFs already flipped red.
Yet half the timeline still acting like the institutional bid is some permanent fixture instead of just another rate-sensitive trade.
Same cycle, different cope.
Who's actually left as the bid once the smart money steps aside?

We’re working on making Coinbase the most AI-enabled financial account - so you can get more done with your money, and make more informed decisions.
MSCI just locked in rules that can boot Strategy and Metaplanet from its indexes as non-operating companies. Index funds would be forced to sell, JPMorgan pegs roughly $2.8B in MSTR alone. less stock demand means less fresh capital to keep stacking BTC.
The model that turned equity into a bitcoin vehicle now risks getting treated like a passive fund itself

It's amazing to see that Solana was able to advertise and even get an office in China. 👏
@BNBChain was not able to do this, so far. 🤣
Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest.
Ledger confirmed spy chips in some reseller wallets that can grab the seed while it flashes on screen. Secure element stayed clean. The implant sat right next to it and phoned home over LTE
Self-custody was meant to kill trust. Now you need to trust the supply chain or open the device yourself

We took some time this week to hunt down scammers.
At London Joint Disruption Week, multiple companies and law enforcement agencies shared real-time intelligence, and took action against criminal scam networks operating in West Africa.
Crime doesn't pay.
BNY and Citadel just ran a tokenized 2Y Treasury through a major triparty repo. Settled in minutes, then used as overnight collatera.
Sounds like real infrastructure progress. But it happened on BNY's private ledger, not a public chain. Instant settlement for Wall Street, zero alpha for crypto holders.
One year after the 1011 crash wiped $19B in liquidations and sent BTC from 126k to under 105k in hours.
Today it sits around 83k with leverage quietly rebuilding. The structural issues around collateral oracles, ADL and thin books never got a full post-mortem.
Has the market actually de-risked, or are we just better at ignoring the same setup until the next tariff headline?
US gov just parked another ~$1.5B of seized Bitfinex BTC at Coinbase Prime. Same window, ~$1B in longs got liquidated and BTC swept October lows near $80k
Transfer to Prime is custody, not a confirmed dump. Reserve rules block free sales. Tape still sold it like fresh supply.
If the Marshals aren't the seller, who actually sets the overhang once Bitfinex restitution clears?

Not my usual style to post half naked photos, but what the hell... 🤣
Also 49, no AI, no photoshop, pure human labor.
I encourage people to compete on health, not wealth rankings or lambos.
More health, more family = true wealth, and happiness.
Not bad for a 49-year-old! One year away from the half-century mark.
Great birthday workout with my brother and trainer, Ossie.
