TRUMP + GARLGINHOUSE MASSIVE STATEMENTS! $1000 XRP??!

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Oh, everyone, President Trump's out there making more comments on our beloved cryptocurrency. You see it hot off the press. President Trump said, "One day Bitcoin will overtake gold." Is this how the bull run gets started? Is this the start of the bull run? Or is this the start of a bull trap? Well, don't you worry because throughout this video, we're going to hear from Brad Garlinghouse, Tom Lee, Scott Best Net.

[00:00:25]We got an action-packed video and I need all you to do is this. Hit that thumbs up. Don't give me a thumbs up. I need you to press that thumbs up. I need each and every single one of you. We get 5, 10, 15,000 views on these videos and we get like 500 thumbs up, folks. The only way for me to grow, I just need your help. That's it. That little button, a little thumbs up goes so long on YouTube. When you start your YouTube careers, you'll understand the power of that thumbs up. Well, let's talk about it. Gold's market cap, 31 trillion dollars, almost 32 trillion dollars.

[00:00:56]Bitcoin's market cap hit what? 2 trillion or so? Could you imagine the price of Bitcoin? Forget Bitcoin for a second. Could you imagine the price of XRP? Even if XRP never did anything in its entire career and it continued just to follow Bitcoin up like the whole market does, we would be looking at like a three, four-digit, five-digit XRP.

[00:01:16]Holy crap. Before we continue with today's XRP update, I want to mention Uphold and eToro once again. Look, I am genuinely impressed by how constantly they keep improving their platform. And what stands out most is their focus on security and transparency. Their security ratings, they continue to rise.

[00:01:34]They've been completely had independent audits done with CertiK and Cyberscope.

[00:01:39]And they use Fireblocks for institutional-grade custody infrastructure. Now, for long-term XRP holders or even any crypto holder, this is one of the most interesting platforms that I've tested.

[00:01:51]Since XRP doesn't offer native staking, Uphold and eToro allows you to put your XRP to work through liquidity pools and earn daily rewards. There's no lock-up periods and you can withdraw whenever you want. Thousands of users have already tested the platform and the feedback, it's all been positive. So, if you've been holding XRP for a long term, what is X is definitely worth. But, I just want you Let's just Let's step back from the old daydream land for a second.

[00:02:17]It's a nice thought, though, isn't it?

[00:02:18]It is. Let's think about that, okay? You got the president of the United States who's out here telling you that one day Bitcoin will overtake gold. You have the president of the United States who wants to keep the dollar as the world's dominant currency. Everything's moving digital. He's waiting for the Clarity Act to get to his desk because he knows that's how the institutions are going to enter this market. Larry Fink, if you didn't listen to my last video, go listen to it. We read over his news release that he put out there to his people stated that everywhere he goes in the world, especially over in Asia, all they're talking about is trying to replace the US dollar as the world's, you know, reserve currency. You think President Trump doesn't know what's going on out there? I sure do. And at the same time, Secretary Besnat, he's out there and he's like, "Look, you need to pass the Clarity Act." He says the most important thing we can do is make digital assets come into the United States, not outside. And that's exactly what the former administration did, right? They forced everyone outside the country. They forced everyone to leave.

[00:03:17]That needs to end. That needs to come to an end. Listen.

[00:03:19]>> So, this administration has been very clear there will be no central bank digital currency, which I think is would be the first step toward tracking. So, we have taken that off the table. We passed stablecoin legislation with bipartisan. And the Clarity Act is now up on the hill. And I think it has bipartisan support. And the most important thing we can do is to make digital assets come into the United States. Make the US the home, our regulation, our best practices what will ensure good standards for these. When you look at digital assets, all the nonsense that happens, all the things you read read about, that's because it's the wild, wild west offshore. So, we got to bring it onshore. So, I would encourage the House and the Senate to get clarity done.

[00:04:03]Jack, this this administration >> Clarity Act is not signed by the end of summer, forget it, everyone. We're going to go to 2027 because of midterms. But look, that that might not be a bad thing. Hear me out, though, and I've spoken about this before. But just listen to me real quick. The market conditions suck right now. I mean, look at look what happened with XLM, right?

[00:04:22]It got the news of the DTCC, you know, price ran up from what, 12 cents to like 23 cents. I can almost guarantee you it comes all the way back down. Why?

[00:04:31]Because good news only gives you a quick little spike up. But if there is nothing else to stack on top of it, price is going to come crumbling back down. Now, imagine in XLM's position, right? It gets the news of DTCC, it flies up, you know, 23 cents I think it hit. And now imagine the next day, the Clarity Act hits. Now, XLM goes from 23 cents, maybe it goes to 33 cents, 35 cents. Imagine the next day, BlackRock comes out.

[00:04:56]They're going to have an XLM ETF all of a sudden. Price goes to 50 cents. That's what you need. Because if you don't have good news stacking on top of good news, and you just get one piece of news, what's going to happen? Well, your buyers are going to run out of money, they're going to stop buying, and then the people who are the sellers, they're going to start selling, and it's going to be like nothing ever happened. It's the same thing when they burned half their supply. Price spiked, price came right back down. Actually, it went went lower than where it was when they announced them burning their supply. So, if the Clarity Act does get pushed off, is it really that bad? I know we all want it now. We want it to happen now. I want it for the past decade. I'm over wanting it. I need it, right? I'm sure you need it as well. Don't be selfish about this. We all need it. But think about that. Markets are sucking right now. The Clarity Act, we get a little green, and we come right back down. Now, let's keep the momentum rolling. The momentum rolling from, you know, Senate and Congress and all that during midterms, it's not going to be there.

[00:05:53]So, what if we just sit like I've been predicting, we sit through the rest of the year in a bear. The bear comes to an end in Q3, Q4, and in '27, leading it to '28 into the halving, is nothing but freaking fireworks. How amazing would that be? And it's just good news after the good news, right? Cuz Trump got 2 years left. He wants crypto to be at an all-time high. Think about that. Think about that story. He walks out of office, crypto's at all-time highs, all of it, right? Stock markets is still ripping and booming. Now, that's what I want to see. And then Brad Garlinghouse, well, we got to listen to what the man got to say because it's been something.

[00:06:28]>> Hi, I'm Brad Garlinghouse. I'm here for my second crypto in a minute here at XRP Las Vegas. So, we're doing something special to make it XRP in a minute.

[00:06:38]>> [music] >> I'm Brad Garlinghouse. I'm back for XRP in a minute. What makes XRP [music] unique?

[00:06:46]I'm going to go way back in time and talk about the earliest inventors of XRP ledger who had been contributors to the core of Bitcoin. And they saw in that an opportunity to build something specialized and specific and unique [music] to really solve a payments problem. And so, what makes XRP so unique is its speed, settling transactions in 3 to 5 seconds, its cost, extremely low cost, fractions of a penny per transaction, and its scalability, now having completed over 4 billion transactions. You add in that with a special dash of an incredible community around XRP, what I like to call the XRP family. Sometimes we're going to we're going to be the XRP army, depending on what's going on. But you put those things together and you include the longevity of this blockchain, [music] you have something special and unique that is poised for greatness. Now, we got something special and unique that's poised for greatness, but we don't see it in price. Where is the greatness in price? Now, I know Schwartzy sold like 23 million XRP. My guy's set for life. I know you sold a lot, but how about us? You call us the greatest community in the world, but where's our piece? We want the price of XRP to go up on you guys. Just chill on your little escrow for a second. How about that? Why don't you stop giving that to market makers because they're not dumping it on us. That's fair.

[00:07:58]That's a true statement, Ripple. We all get that, but the market makers are dumping it on us. Yeah, we're not that stupid, now are we? JP Morgan CEO Jimmy boy Diamond, my best friend. He says he happy with the crypto clarity act.

[00:08:12]Uh-oh, here we go again. And Coinbase's CEO Brian Armstrong is full of I knew something was coming. They need a reason to tell us why this doesn't get signed. And then the midterms kick in and then it does push it off to 2027.

[00:08:28]Here's your reason. And it's almost like they picked father son here to fight each other. Folks, all orchestrated. No doubt about it. This is all orchestrated. This is what we like to call theater. They're doing this on purpose. They want to drag you along and drag you along and keep you interested and drag you along even more. And then at the end of it, like, all right, you, Jamie, you, Brian, let's get it on.

[00:08:51]Ding, ding, ding. It's like a UFC octagon. That's what they're doing right here. And they're going to say, here's your reason. Jamie Diamond takes the fall. Brian Armstrong looks like the good guy because he's been telling you what's good and Jamie Diamond looks like a piece of crap because everyone's going to blame him and he's the reason that it doesn't get passed. Think about it. All theater. Tom Lee, he thinks the S&P 500 bull run's going to keep going and we're going to go up to 7,700. Then we'll get a pullback and then 2027 would be face melting returns. That's weird because that kind of goes with my thesis and narrative, right? We get the pullback of it. When it pulls back, money rotates into crypto. And then what happens? Stock market goes back up.

[00:09:30]Stock market pulls back down. All that money from those all-time highs floods, trillions flood into cryptocurrency.

[00:09:36]2027, 2028, 2029 all looks very very bullish to me. We just got to make it through about another 5 months cuz I do believe the bottom comes in around October, November. I've been saying it for about the 7 months at this point, November of last year, so 8 months now?

[00:09:53]8 months when I used to do my live streams before my sports got in the way.

[00:09:57]I'm telling you, I've been saying on this show but like to click off though because they don't like when I tell them the truth. They'd rather go look at those charts that tell you X R P's going to run the four or five digits by the end of the year. You think so? Doesn't look so good, now does it? Listen.

[00:10:11]>> I mean, Tom, you you see the activity in the microns and the snowflakes and and you think what as you watch this market?

[00:10:17]>> Well, I I think it was a great conversation with Liz, but one thing to keep in mind is now that Q1 earnings is behind us, people thought S&P earnings would be $70. It's going to come in at 80. So, that's a $10 beat. That's $40 annualized.

[00:10:32]That means that this added the upside to earnings is somewhere between 800 and 1,000 points of S&P upside. I think the entire rally since April could be explained by just the Q1 earnings beat.

[00:10:44]>> You're You're calling for a three-phase market still. Explain to our viewers again what that means.

[00:10:49]>> Yes, our base case for this year, which we expected it to be a challenging year and it feels like it is we'd rally towards 7,300 initially. Now, we're above that, but I >> You're almost 7,600.

[00:10:59]>> Yeah, and I think we can get to maybe 7,700, as high as 7,700. But I think then we're going to digest a lot of things until October. And that's a new Fed chair. It's the energy shock that Liz talked about, especially shortages of petroleum products and lubricants.

[00:11:14]You know, AutoNation talked about it.

[00:11:15]And the third is the IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic that when the unlocks happen, that's a lot of extra supply.

[00:11:23]So, I think that could pressure stocks in a way that feels like a bear market.

[00:11:27]But then post midterms, I think we rally strongly in in 2027 is a year where we might see some of the best returns we've ever seen in our lifetime.

[00:11:35]>> Brian.

[00:11:36]>> There you go. Hey, look, I would love to see it. I would. I would love to see the stock market keep pushing up go even higher. I mean, 77 even it'd be insane.

[00:11:45]Absolutely insane. Because at the end of the day, let's be honest, that money's going to rotate somewhere. Where is it going to rotate? If I had to take a guess, it's going to come into crypto.

[00:11:53]And look at this, no one talks about it.

[00:11:54]Sui network went down. Hey, guess what?

[00:11:57]The XRP ledger doesn't go down. And no one said anything. But the XRP ledger, something happens to it, someone pays, you know, 0.002 for gas fees, they freak out. all the maxis come after us. But Sui's network completely went down.

[00:12:11]Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with it, do you? Give me a freaking break, man. You ain't going to run the DTCC on Sui. They have it going down. XRP ledger doesn't go down. XLM doesn't go down.

[00:12:21]Bitcoin goes down. Ethereum definitely goes down. It gets gets congested. Let's be honest. I'm going to leave it right there. And look, as always, none of this is financial advice. Don't take it as it is and never will be. Hit that like for me. Do me a favor and I'll see all y'all on the next one.
