David on Smart Contracts on the XRP Ledger. 1) We don't need full general purpose SC. We don't need to be the best SC platform, just a little bit programmability via SC. 2) It boosts native features. If you can't connect native features together they are not as useful.... show more

JUST IN: Ripple execs reveal why XRPL was built fast from day one not by chance, by design. No smart contracts needed. Native ledger functionality handles escrow, DEX, and compliance directly via API no need to build it yourself. Result: 3-4 second settlement, sub-cent cost. Purpose-built for payments, not speculation. This is the infrastructure edge most people still don't talk about.

XRP is the native bridge asset of the XRP Ledger. This is a live look of the last 72h on the XRPL DEX of trades going through XRP. It's a protocol native functionality doing this by default. The XRPL routes automatically DEX offers through $XRP if it improves the trade quality. 2 things are interesting here. 1) Because the XRPL DEX is native the protocol captures activity at scale much better than fragmented smart contract DEX's, through auto bridging for the long tail of assets. You simply operate always on the same DEX and that aggregates liquidity and trades. 2) The current usage is 0.16% of DEX trades in the last 72h. For someone like myself who sees huge potential for the protocol and especially optimized trade quality by going through XRP on the DEX at scale when this number is double digits this is an exciting outlook to work towards.

"we bring the same principles of the equity world to digital assets" Native assets of public permissionless decentralized networks are commodities, not equities. They exclude Bitcoin while keeping ETH/Solana? Do they not know that PoS and PoW are very similar in the principles they are trying to measure? The index composition makes no sense and imo is the scary truth, that institutions in this space struggle hard to 1) understand it 2) how to value it. Protocol revenue here is literally the friction between users and forced stakeholders like miners and validators. The more revenue a protocol earns the more it took away from users to use a network. It's bizarre how this makes sense for an open protocol, it makes absolutely sense for a business and thus equities. The XRP Ledger says, hey its super cheap to make forward progress if just agree on it, no friction no revenue. We are so ahead in our understanding of this space it's not even remotely funny.

The issue of the Russian shadow fleet in European waters is an issue for the EU and wider Europe. It's about internal legislation – changes to the law to enable confiscation of Russian oil after the sanctioned tankers are stopped. Not to let them go free in three or five days after a court decision. They lose almost nothing in most cases, only a little bit, because they were stopped for a few days. That's why we need confiscation. We don't need Russian oil and don't want to make money from it. But we don't want the Russians to make money, because they will use this revenue for the war – on the battlefield against us. From an interview with The Independent (1/3)

Z wants to be allowed to rob Russian tankers. 'It's about changes in the law that allow for the confiscation of Russian oil after the seizure of tankers subject to sanctions. And not releasing them after three to five days following a court decision. We need confiscation. We don't need Russian oil, and we don't want to make money from it. But we also don't want the Russians to make money from it, because they use these revenues for war - on the battlefield against us.' - SK

🚨 INSANE: Ripple Executive Says XRP Can Scale for 8 BILLION People Worldwide. This Changes Everything!! The ILP Protocol Will Make XRP the Backbone of Global Finance (Banks Are Quietly Preparing). ILP is the open “TCP/IP for money”, routing value packets across ANY banks, ledgers, or currencies in real time. Created by Ripple, now independently stewarded. Institutions & banks connect their systems (SWIFT, SEPA, Fedwire, etc.) via ILP to the XRP Ledger. This is how Ripple quietly scales XRP into the new financial system. Trillions in cross-border flows will need it. Brad and David were not kidding😳

Mamdani: New Yorkers frankly don't care who the mayor is. If it's the first of the month, they have to pay their rent and that's what we need to be focused on and my job in the most expensive city in America is how can we make it affordable and not just on a graph but you feel it.

🚨BREAKING: Ripple's “JoelKatz” Says XRPL Is Built to CAPTURE TRILLIONS as DeFi Stalls at $150B — “Smart Contracts Are NOT the Advantage” 👀🔥 According to Ripple Board Member & ex-CTO David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz, the entire DeFi market has stuck around $150B for 2 years — and much of that growth came from token prices rising, not real economic expansion. 😳 Meanwhile? 👉 The TradFi lending market is in the TRILLIONS. And according to him, THAT is where the real opportunity lies. 👀 “We’re not going to get into the multi-trillion dollar TradFi market with cryptocurrency speculation… We need tokenized real-world assets, equities, bonds, money market funds.” XRPL’s lack of smart contracts isn’t a weakness — it’s a STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE. 🤯 On most chains, lending runs through competing smart contracts, often controlled by small groups, exposed to bugs, exploits, and governance drama. On XRPL? Core lending features are embedded DIRECTLY into the ledger. “You’ll have a unified, best-in-class implementation presented by the ledger.” 🚀 XRPL just positioned itself as the BRIDGE between TRADITIONAL and DECENTRALIZED markets. 🤑

‼️🇷🇺 🇺🇦 BREAKING NEWS ! PUTIN has just declared that RUSSIA is GOING to take FULL CONTROL of all of UKRAINE ! UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER is the only accepted recourse for KIEV ! Thank you NATO !! Proof > “We will not allow armed forces to exist in Ukraine that pose a long-term threat to Russia and its people” — Putin ➖If Ukraine does not reach an agreement with Russia in Istanbul now, the situation for them will change for the worse, "there is no need to drag it out." ➖ If we do not reach an agreement on Ukraine peacefully, we will achieve our goals militarily. ➖Russia did not start military actions in Ukraine, but is trying to end them. ➖Kiev itself started the war, using troops against the civilian population of Donbass. ➖ Meeting with Trump would be useful, but it should be prepared. ➖ Trump is a businessman, and this is a big plus: he “considers everything”, this also applies to steps towards Russia.

This is SO cool !! I just used up for voting amendment XLS-96 Confidential Transfer / privacy on the XRP Ledger dev net enabled by homomorphism and ZK proofs. What's going on here and how do nodes know payments are correct while not able to see the amounts ? 1) I issued a confidential MPT on the XRP Ledger dev net. I shielded my balance. Privacy for the amounts of my XRPL issued asset balance and transfers (the addresses stay public). No one can see the amounts, it's all shielded, except the issuer and the auditor who can always decrypt them (or you, like in the video on my esp32). 2) The XRP Ledger uses 2 boxes 📦 for this all under the hood, an Inbox-box and a Spending-box. I don't go into detail why thats needed but it's important we have it. 3) How do Validators and nodes know the transfers are correct if they can't see the amounts? Now the true magic is enabled by homomorphism. It allows to do operations arithmetic on encrypted data as if it were plaintext, without the need to decrypt it. Like adding and subtracting amounts to your balance. ZK proofs fill the gap that nodes need. We need a comparison of the balance that after you have done your payment you have >= 0 balance. If you would have negative balance it means you trying to spend more than you have something we need to prevent. For this a ZK proof is used to quickly allow people to check, ahh all good, no idea how much Vet owns but whatever he is spending here it's definitely within his balance and it's not below 0. Those 2 techniques soon on a public decentralized blockchain XRP Ledger. Should give you goose bumps what this means for possible use cases.

🎙️Arda has shown that playing inside, turning as he did the other day against Kairat, might be his best position - and that's also Bellingham's position. How do you think the two of them could be complementary? Xabi Alonso: “I think they can be complementary. We have to see how we place the other pieces. We need balance. We need to connect the play in those areas in the best possible way. How we reach Jude (Bellingham) is always very important to me. And how we reach the No. 10 position with Arda. He has played as a No. 10 and also a little deeper. Maybe not so much in the league now, but more in the World Cup, yet he can do it. They need to find their natural spots, they have to flow and feel comfortable. Jude and Arda can definitely do it together. I've seen them do it before, and I'm sure they will do it again.”

There are no double-blind, placebo-based randomized controlled trials for the safety of childhood vaccines. They don't exist because the people responsible for them decided not to do them. I know this because in 2017 Robert F. Kennedy Jr and I sat down at the NIH with Francis Collins and Tony Fauci and asked them. We said, we can't find a single placebo-based safety trial for any vaccine on the childhood schedule. Are you doing them, or are we just not seeing them? They told us they don't do those trials because they believe it is unethical to withhold what they consider a beneficial product from a control group. That is the logic. The faith that the product is so valuable that studying it rigorously would be unfair to the people in the trial not getting it. So they never study it. Every vaccine given to every child in America rests on an assumption of safety and nothing more. Marcello Foa

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: If people do not comply with digital ID, it will fail. "It is the cornerstone of the entire UN Agenda 2030. Without it, the programmable, surveillable money won't work... What they want to do in the online virtual world will not work. So much of it will not work if we do not comply with digital ID." "If you want to change the direction the world is going, you need to figure out how you are going to set up your life so you don't have to comply with digital ID." "If you were forced to comply with vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, how will you get around those type of restrictions when they try and impose digital ID on people for various reasons?" "I think it's very important for people to realise that they have the power. Otherwise, they wouldn't be investing all this money to manipulate us and pitch us on this." "We don't need this biometric digital ID surveillance state that's going to be used not just to surveil what we're doing in real time, but also to predict what we might do in the future." "That is the world they're setting up. It is very bad, and we should opt out. And we can opt out." Credit: Whitney Webb Neil Oliver

My thoughts & analysis on Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos; "Canada has what the world wants. We are an energy superpower. We have the most educated population in the world." * It was an excellent, strong, and statesman like speech that Caandians in general should be happy and even proud of. * It was an important speech to deliver ahead of Donald Trump's speech tomorrow. This is also an attempt to create contrast in leadership and stability. The problem isn't the speech is what happens outside of it - the reality. * You can't say Canada is open for business and not deliver. * You can't tell the world we have what you want and take 20 years to navigate our own red tape. * You can't tell the world we have the best educated people in the world while having a braindrain because they have nothing to work on. The words sound nice but time and time again the government fails to deliver on them. For Canada, to become the core power player we so desperately want to be we need to be dependable and stable. We can't be infiltrated and work with foreign government that openly want to destroy the West. We can't tell our allies there is no business case when they need us. We have to be confident in the integrity and sovereignty of our nation and not surrender it to the ideologies and foreigners who come by. We need to fix and remove everything that gets in the way of what we are trying to offer to the world. Even though we are obviously upset with Donald Trump conduct we also need to remember that Canada's closest ally and our biggest economic driver will always be the US and there is nothing wrong with it (and yes we need to grow outside of it). With such, we need to have the sensibility not to run to the worst regimes around the world and surrender ourselves and this continent to them. If we want to lead, sometimes we need to lead in our relationships including with the US.

People always ask me: But how could AI kill us all? So, here is how I think AI will literally kill us all. It's just a guess, I'm just a human. I wrote this essay for a book nearly two years ago. It's not something I like to talk about. But the academic presentation of AI risk is just not working. We need real human emotion in this debate. When we say we're all going to die if we don't change course, and our faces don't show it, it doesn't connect.
