Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

The last few days have been marked by positive news for SWIFT competitor @Ripple: Observers speak of a possible turning point in the law suit with the SEC. But more interesting from our point of view is the cooperation with Modulr, which could give the #RippleNet project a...
To my fellow #XRPHolders:
Judge Netburn has said the following:
“My understanding is that XRP has a utility as currency and that’s what separates it from #BTC& #Ether.”
“Based on what you just said every person in the world selling #XRP is committing a Section 5 violation.”

ABSOLUTE, CONCLUSIVE & IRREFUTABLE PROOF!
Bill Hinman intentionally misled the public as Director of Corporation Finance while at the @SECGov.

It was my pleasure w/ @Cryptoinsightuk b/c they’re many #XRPHolders in the U.K. and around the 🌎 The U.K.’s FCA has declared XRP a hybrid token - part exchange token and part utility token - but certainly not a security token. Yet, the @SECGov has held their holdings hostage.
On the latest ruling in the SEC vs. Ripple case: @JohnEDeaton1 gave me his biggest takeaways and here's what I find the most interesting:
On June 13th 2018, the day before the Hinman speech, the SEC legal team reviewed whether #XRP was a security in a legal memo and did not
