XRP This Is Going To Shock Everyone

[00:00:00]We are on the verge of one of the biggest cryptocurrency catalyst hitting the market in a way that no one is expecting. And in this video, I want to break down exactly what that is, why it's such a big deal, and actually compare it to a previous time period we went through where we saw a very similar thing play out. And guys, it sent the market to brand new all-time highs in this video. We're going to talk about that as well as a very interesting debate at the end of the video. Guys, make sure to stick around for that. you are not going to want to miss it. Like always, your support means so much to this channel. Thank you to everyone who likes and subscribes. And with that said, let's jump right into it. And I hope you guys enjoy the content. So guys, I want to start this video off and actually set the scene for the first thing I want to talk about. And that scene is going to be set in 2022 2023 when we just saw the implosion of FTX, we just saw the implosion of Teral Luna, and we just saw the implosion of Genesis. And the entire cryptocurrency community was saying we are probably now five to ten years out from institutional adoption because every credible player just saw one of the biggest and I'm talking about the biggest we have ever seen implosion in almost all financial market. And guys, with all that pessimism, with all that bearish, with everyone calling for brand new lows around the corner, the Bitcoin ETFs were launched out of nowhere. Now, at this time, Gary Gensler was head of the SEC, the guy that said he would never approve any of these crypto product, the guy that was actively suing every cryptocurrency company. Everything was against these ETFs being launched. And this was at the time the betting markets were just starting to emerge. And almost every single one of them had the lowest probability you could really get realistically of these things being passed. But guess what? Out of nowhere, the Bitcoin ETFs were passed and suddenly the bottom of the market was in and the market started to climb to brand new all-time highs. Well guys, I believe we are at that exact same moment right now with the Clarity bill. Now, right now, what we're seeing is it looks like in the next two weeks, we could actually see we could actually see the Clarity bill up for vote finally in the Senate to be sent to President Trump's desk for signature. Now, guys, all the reports coming out of DC are extremely positive on this. And there was actually one thing that I don't think a lot of people picked up on that I think is actually bigger than anything. What just happened that went heavily under the radar here is Trump's head of crypto. First name is Patrick. I don't remember his last name right now. He had a service that he had to resume in the Navy. And he chose rather than to resume that service right now to defer it for an undisclosed amount of time until the Clarity Act gets over the finish line. Now guys, a lot of people are saying that if the Clarity Act doesn't get passed in 2026, then Democrats are going to take over the House and they're not going to pass it and it could be up to six years before the Clarity Act passes. That's what a lot of people are saying. But guys, why would the head of the United States crypto division stay in his position for an undisclosed amount of time with the fact that everyone is saying it's impossible to pass a clarity bill? It could be six more years before it takes place. Because I'll tell you right now, and you've seen this countless times with government officials. If they don't think these things are going to happen, look, they'll just say, "Look, I tried my hardest. We didn't have enough time. The other party was pushing out. Look, I I have to go resume my service." That's not what he chose to do. He chose to stay for an undisclosed period of time.

[00:03:47]And we know the military is very strict about this stuff. So, I have a feeling he's not getting a ton of time. But I believe he thinks that there is enough time with a small extension to get this bill over the finish line. And guys, that looks to be the exact case based off a lot of the reports coming out of DC right now. A lot of people are saying within the next two weeks, we could see this voted on. Guys, if that takes place, this is going to be a carbon copy replica of what happened with ETFs.

[00:04:19]Everyone max bearish, everyone talking about how things can only get worse. The Clarity bill is not going to pass. All these pessimistic things only in the snap of a finger for the entire conversation to change institutions to redirect capital back into this industry and then for everyone to completely change their tune. Understand the vast majority of people talking about crypto have a sentiment that is correlated to where the price is going. And the second price reverses, all of that is going to change. Right now, Polyark and all the betting apps are still heavily discounting the Clarity Act getting voted on and passed in 2026. Guys, I'm actually starting to think it's very likely. And I have this strange feeling, the same feeling I felt when everyone was saying there was going to not going to be any ETFs. They weren't going to get passed. Gary Gensler would never let it through. There was too much blowups, too much fraud, too many bad things happening in crypto. Guys, I have a feeling this is getting teed up perfectly to be that same exact thing.

[00:05:22]Now, I want to move on and quickly talk about a huge catalyst coming to the XRP ledger. And guys, that is Agentic Payments. Right now, we are currently watching skyrocketing activity of AI agents using the XRP ledger infrastructure. And we are now getting projections that by the end of the year, we could be over 100 million transactions. Now guys, I want to talk about this real briefly, but not a lot of people realize this, but the XRP ledger is actually specifically set up for Agentic Payments, and that's because the XRP ledger doesn't have complicated smart contracts like a lot of other chains. All these AI agents can plug directly into APIs and get simple access to core XRP ledger feature sets that allow them to interact on the base chain without having to go code up these crazy smart contract applications. In my opinion, the very simple, efficient, strong, and also core native infrastructure of the XRP ledger is perfect for these agentic activities.

[00:06:22]And guys, with Ripple's regulation, with some of the things that Ripple can host on the front end to wrap these up into actual legitimate services, the XRP ledger could carry a serious, and I mean serious, narrative associated with it with the AI economy. And guys, a lot of people have been worried that there's some a huge AI bubble coming out of nowhere. Guys, the truth is is all the numbers coming out of the large players, Google, Meta, we're going through earning season right now are actually extremely positive on the AI cycle. And guys, it doesn't look like the AI bubble is going to be coming down anytime soon.

[00:06:58]In fact, there's money flowing in in a really big way. Google just ramped up its capex massively. They're looking to spend a whole bunch more money. And guys, normally bubbles come when there's not actually a lot of money flowing around. Take a look at the tech bubble in 2000. It was a bunch of crappy ideas that didn't make any money. That's not what we're seeing now. And I just want to stress that I believe one of the most underrated narratives that is going to hit the XRP ledger is going to be agentic payments. And it has to do with the core architecture of the XRP ledger.

[00:07:30]how the XRP ledger chose to reduce complexity, reduce infinite possibility for core payment and settlement infrastructure. Guys, the API set up on the XRP ledger to allow the usage of core feature sets, not built on secondary smart contracts, not built on secondary centralized infrastructure, but built directly into the XRP ledger codebase is absolutely perfect for this type of activity. Now guys, with that said, there's still a lot of people who don't understand really why the XRP ledger is so special. And I wanted to share with you something, and it might be hard to fully recap this debate right here, but it's probably one of the biggest pieces of FUD Ripple gets. And in my opinion, it is so undeserved. And guys, that has to do with the premine of XRP. David Schwarz actually just commented on this. And I I haven't really seen David Schwarz comment on this in a really big way up until now.

[00:08:28]But one of the things I said that I was so excited about about the end of the Ripple SEC case was getting people like David to be able to speak more freely.

[00:08:35]Guys, David actually was responding to someone who said, "Oh, well, you know, the XRP ledger, they had a premine, so therefore it's not legit." David Schwarz responded to that and said, "I I think the premine for XRP and Bitcoin mining are almost equivalent. The only value token holders get from proofof work programmatic and permission as block reward is that they can transfer those tokens securely. But the XRP ledger already does that. The biggest difference from the point of view from holders to miners is miners have to pay a lot of money for electricity and hardware that they can't use to improve the security of the network or make their own positions more financially secure. What David Schwarz is saying here is so important. A lot of people point to Ripple and say that premine that original XRP minted is counterintuitive or against the ethos of crypto. But guys, just think about it this way. What is the difference between me going and purchasing XRP from Ripple verse miners buying a whole bunch of expensive mining equipment then using all that expensive mining equipment to go mine a bunch of Bitcoin and maybe get Bitcoin? There's really only one difference and that's the miners have an extra step. You need to understand that Ripple chose in the very early days to centralize the XRP, the total issuance of XRP in the very beginning to later decentralize that over time and build a distributed network. The Bitcoin network took a different path. They chose to do max decentralization of passing out the tokens in the beginning. Anyone could go get some. But that tends towards centralization with the fact that the biggest and most powerful players are always going to have the most mining power. And that is exactly what David Schwarz is talking about here. There's no win-win scenario. Ripple took the path that got pushed back in the beginning to have the path that would work out the best over the long run.

[00:10:50]While Bitcoin took the path that had the best kind of freeforall in the beginning, but would have issues later on in terms of the largest players getting too much economic power over the network. Guys, there was always so much FUD out there in the market in terms of XRP. But one of my favorite things is the more you understand the system, the more you take the time to dig into it and actually understand what these arguments are, it becomes extremely obvious that it was never really a fact of Ripple doing anything wrong or sketchy. It was really just the fact that the vast majority of people didn't like the way Ripple went about things.

[00:11:32]And likely the reason for that was was because it set XRP up in a better position over the long run to get over the hurdles that Bitcoin was bound to face. And the more I've dug into this, the more I've listened to arguments from both sides and listen to smart people arguing both perspectives, the more I understand this was just a difference of opinion on how to build out a network.

[00:11:55]The people like David Schwarz who created the XRP ledger saw the problems that Bitcoin was going to create and wanted to build a network that wouldn't inherit those same issues. Guys, I think this is exactly one of them. And I just want people to be very careful about falling into some of these FUD points because I've seen a lot of people have a very hard time getting over Ripple's concentration of the XRP supply. But guys, the more you understand that that's no different than any other network. Some networks just take an extra step to distribute it. The more you understand that Ripple actually probably set the XRP ledger up in the best possible way it could for the long run. And a lot of these other networks, they have problems they're going to face with some of the decisions they made in the early days. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you enjoyed this update.
