@NCashOfficial He has no clue. He's been chasing crypto for the last 5 years at least, dumping money on projects without researching just looking for those huge gains.
Survival in financial markets is not for weak minds.
A year with majority of your net worth tied to investments comes with significant baggage.
You need conviction or else the stress, overthinking, the doubt, it will all swallow you up and spit you out with less than you invested.
People still think it's a game of I can start on Monday and clock in on Friday with financial freedom. You were sold a dream by grifters who only want your views, clicks and money.
Investing is a long-term game, a long-term game that majority fail at when it gets hard. Surviving those hard times, those days where you see significant drawdowns, those days where the crowd is screaming it's over, is simply not for everyone.
The pressure of having large amounts of capital tied to any market changes people. It can mold your mind into thinking, acting, and looking at things differently. The pressure can also completely scare people from ever investing another dollar again.
Look back at the scariest financial times in history. Those were typically the best times to flip that switch and become a predator while the prey flees the markets.
The next 10 years will create new millionaires, billionaires and even trillionaires. The next 10 years will also shake so many out before they even hit that point of life changing money. For the next 10 years you need to become an unshakable force willing to hold and accumulate even during the darkest times.
This is the decade your life changes forever, and no you won't need to wait the entire 10 years. The next few years you will see the entire financial system upgraded through tokenization, stablecoins, AI, and blockchain technology. Lock in now or clock in forever.
HUGE News from the ECB (European Central Bank)
Effective March 30, 2026, banking institutions will be permitted to utilize DLT issued assets as eligible collateral to access central bank liquidity facilities.
Regulators are actively advancing frameworks to extend eligibility to assets natively issued, settled, and finalized entirely on distributed ledger networks

So many industry leaders and prominent names have been getting on their knees for the banks.
It's insane that they can't see the major issue with the Clarity Act bill.
Call it what you will, cling to the excuses you want, but this bill became an issue the second banking CEOs started meeting with politicians in the beginning of December.
⚠️ IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL 🚨
I remember writing this post back in 2023 when regulators were trying to kill staking, which is a crucial part of the DeFi sector.
What I said is even more important today than in 2023, because we are still seeing banks attempt to kill a major opportunity crypto enables for retail i.e. stablecoin yield.
"We see regulators in the U.S. targeting staking as a service, why? Oh yeah that's because the national average APY for savings accounts is 0.33%. Take this into consideration with the average (common) APY for defi being 5% to 15%. Do you see the problem?"
This statistic alone is the reason why banks are terrified of stablecoin yield. They don't want money exiting the banking system and flowing into the crypto ecosystem. This harms banks in multiple ways, but the main one is killing the yearly income they make holding your money.
Why settle for fractions of pennies on the dollar in a traditional savings account, when you can earn upwards of 5%+ holding stablecoins in crypto?
The other big issue here is capital flight i.e. rapid money movement away from the traditional system. Banks in 2023 were failing, multiple banks closed and this showed us how dangerous fractional reserve banking really is.
This is why banks don't want retail withdrawing their money and move into the crypto space. They can't cover all deposits because they don't have enough reserves. This is why the FED is constantly injecting money in overnight repos to save failing banks.
Banks are extremely scared of what crypto is capable of offering their customers, because they know they can't offer the same. Now they are using their reach to rewrite the rules in their favor and crypto companies are following them blindly. This is a very big problem no matter how people try to spin it.
#IStandWithCoinbase
I used to pray for days like this, charts straight vertical
Late nights, candle flicks, patience getting biblical
Had to hold through fear, every dip felt criminal
Now the altar lit, asking whales to get generous
Watched my bags bleed, still I never lost faith
Diamond hands hurt, but I stayed in place
Married to the game, yeah I said “I do”
Clear eyes on the prize, ATHs in view
If you want the pump, you gotta see it first
Through red days, FUD storms, every doubt and curse
Now the candles rising, feel that holy swoosh
Crypto gods hear me, bless us with the boost
Assets like $XRP will become extremely valuable overtime because of one thing happening in this space right now... tokenization.
Tokenization described in the simplest way possible is technically just turning real world assets like stocks, real estate, fiat, etc, into digital tokens.
But that's not where the story ends...
This is why tokenization makes assets like $XRP, $HBAR, $XLM, $XDC (and yes there a ton of other ones like $CC $ONDO $TEL I can mention but you get it) more valuable:
• First key thing is simply network demand. Network effects are created when the network sees a drastic increase in use with value moving over it. If we begin to see trillions getting tokenized (guess what we will) on these networks then we see a massive amount of demand. That demand of the network also demands the gas token to move that value, settle it, etc. Also for those asking about the private network initiatives, they are digital islands, they need to be bridged to public networks to alleviate friction. This means again, public networks that are extremely efficient in value movement and settlement will eventually see this demand regardless of private network initiatives.
• Now talking about faster and cheaper transactions, tokenized assets onchain can move near instantly across borders. This again is done on public blockchains. We know Ripple has focused on improving cross border payments for over a decade now. Tokenized fiat is the best way to rewire the global movement of value. Public chains are the key for this and/or maybe a neutral bridge currency 😉
• Last, but not least, the plethora of utility that is unlocked for traditional asset classes. Tokenization opens up a liquidity book for illiquid asset classes like real estate. What this also unlocks is new use cases around DeFi initiatives, borrowing, lending and/or even fractionalized ownership. There is so much more value that can be derived from these asset classes that are already valued in the hundreds of trillions.
To really summarize this, tokenization will lead to a flood of new assets and fresh value moving onchain, which will then create a ton and I mean a ton of demand for the underlying gas tokens on the networks being tokenized on, this will then lead to the price expansion. It really is that simple.
Now before you all say "well the value hasn't moved yet" the simple reason why is because we only have $20B onchain spread out across multiple networks. That's a drop of water in the bucket and not nearly enough to move majority of these tokens.
The good news? The TAM of tokenization is in the QUADRILLIONS, in fact @Grodfather mentioned $1.7Q, I personally think at this point it's most likely well over $2Q. We didn't even begin yet and 99% of even crypto participants are overlooking just how big this really will be.
