A lot of people are questioning crypto right now. Not just price, but whether the whole thesis ever made sense.

I made this video to explain why I am not focused on price during crashes, and what I actually look at instead. It is a simple framework for separating market panic from real infrastructure.

If you want a calm, grounded way to think about Ripple, XRP, and institutional crypto during volatility, this is the best place to start.

What happens when money stops being pending and starts settling in minutes?

This video explains how liquidity, buffers, and fragmentation change the math behind settlement, and why price discussions usually miss the real point.

Swift’s MT system is finally being phased out this weekend and everything moves to ISO 20022. It’s a big shift if you follow global payments or Ripple’s work in settlement infrastructure.

I put together a video walking through what’s changing and why it matters. Sharing here for anyone following the same rabbit holes I am:

I’ve been digging into the XRPL staking discussion Ripple engineers started.

Not hype, not an announcement — just a real look at why the conversation surfaced now and what it means for the ledger over time.

Full breakdown here:

I’ve been digging deeper into Yellow Network and it’s more interesting than people realize.

It isn’t trying to be another chain. It feels more like a clearing layer that sits above everything else. State channels for routing. Multi-chain liquidity paths. A design that actually makes sense for real order flow.

Chris Larsen is backing it. XRPL EVM is one of the settlement endpoints. GSR is involved on the liquidity side.

If anyone wants the full breakdown, I put everything I found into a clean, straightforward video. No hype. Just the architecture and why it matters:

Brought home Lucian today. A sweet little boy around 8 weeks old.

Counting down the days until I bring home Lucian 🐾 Found on the streets at just 5 weeks old, this little guy’s got a wolfy vibe that fits his Underworld name perfectly. I get to pick him up in about 3 weeks—can’t wait!
