Links to Articles We Discuss

We have covered the following topics:

Memorial Day: Honoring fallen soldiers and their sacrifices for our freedoms.
Ripple vs. Ethereum: Joe Lubin's criticism of Ripple's overvaluation and Brad Garlinghouse's mature response.
World War II veterans: Remembering their bravery and sacrifices for our freedoms.
Mental illness: Encouraging those who suffer to seek help but not letting a minority dictate to the majority.
Bitcoin ownership: The Alchemist predicts that the greatest generation will own one bitcoin.
Financial Warfare: Money as a tool to strip freedoms through digital currencies like Central Bank digital currencies.
Tribalism in Crypto: Polarization and character flaws of Maxes in the Space, hindering innovation and Progress.
Ripple's Growth in Asia: Ripple looks to Asia for growth and blockchain finance due to the region's fast-growing nature with blockchain technology.
Ripple's global business: Ripple's blockchain-based global payments network has mostly shifted outside the US due to regulatory clarity and opportunities in Asia, with up to 80% of its $15 billion global flows sent and received from elsewhere.
Ripple's acquisitions: Ripple has a billion dollars for acquisitions, with recent purchases including Metaco and Tranglo, a Malaysian-based fintech whose shareholders include Seamless Group and TNG.
Challenges from commercial banks: Commercial banks' blockchain-based networks like JPMorgan's Onyx or the recently announced Canton Network pose a commercial threat to Ripple, but they lack the reach of public permissionless blockchains like Ethereum or Ripple.
SEC's illogical behavior: SEC is not interested in helping crypto companies come into compliance but rather in control. Their actions harm investors and erode market cap.
Need for limited government: The US government has lost its way and needs to get back to a limited government that works on behalf of the people.
SEC's flawed logic: The SEC's basis for alleging that XRP is a security is flawed, as it would mean all digital assets are securities.
Need for clarity: There needs to be one path of clarity for all digital assets, or else there is no path of clarity at all.
Regulatory bodies failing: Regulatory bodies have failed to protect investors and must be eliminated or reformed.
Banks panicking: Banks are panicking about the growth of cryptocurrency and trying to stop it, but they will ultimately fail.
Tim Draper vs. Gary Gensler: Tim Draper owns Gary Gensler in a clip where he destroys his argument against Bitcoin.
Ripple vs. SEC: Congressman Donalds to hold Gary Gensler accountable.
Financial system reset: Signs pointing to a huge collapse and coming reset.
Government control: Constitution is the only thing holding the world together.
Majority power: Three years have proven that we are the majority and are no longer silent.
Isomin (formerly Som): Evolving into a different sort of company for a new era.
Xaman: Unification of XRPL labs under a stronger entity called Zaman, encapsulating the goal of blending retail crypto.
Zambo.com, a website that has been around for 10-15 years, is still active and allows users to do anything infinitely possible.
