Show Summary
For years XRP was the piece everyone sacrificed first. Tonight Chip and Jeff argue the pawn has crossed the board: the XRP Ledger Hackathon just wrapped with builders shipping real products, Swell week is here, and the founders' story is being told on the ledger itself. It was a scrappy night, with StreamYard glitching and Jeff dropping out early, but the show kept moving.
- The XRP Ledger Hackathon closing ceremony: the winners, the bounties, and why there are no losers at a hackathon (Chip disagrees).
- FOUNDERS Episode 4, "So it begins": the cartoon Ripple founders, a bear who is not an investment advisor, and the pawn that becomes a queen.
- XRP sat at $1.29, down 0.5% on the day, as Swell week kicked off in New York.
- JoelKatz takes on the City of Toronto after it locked the comments on its own post, and Chip gets shut out of Swell Demo Days.
- Geopolitics: a No Kings rally interview, the liberty-versus-force argument on a plane, Trump's Michigan rally with Nicki Minaj, and the Michigan Senate fight over Abdul El-Sayed.
- Also in the back half: Audi bringing SUV production to Macon, Georgia, Brazil's election result, Israel's election, and France's immigration crisis.
