Exactly! It will make Brad and David millions due to them having shares in Ripple Prime. Unfortunately Ripple Prime cannot make anyone use XRP. XRP will be used alongside 7-8 other crypto for execution and will take a long time to build up enough volume to really increase XRP token value. I hold XRP but am looking at the fact that until Ripple stops dumping 1 billion a month on the market, I KNOW they lock up 3-400 million as well, the price cannot rise explosively. They expect us to praise them when it finally reaches $8-10 in the next cycle.

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

Ripple Prime is not XRP. Seriously encourage XRP token holders to evaluate whether XRP is just the fundraising arm for the Ripple Brand. The only ones getting rich are the holders of Ripple stock. Until Ripple burns 25 billion XRP or a minimum of 10-15 billion are locked up in ETF’s or treasuries the 3-400 million they dump in the market every month is keeping the price suppressed.

I left the discord 4 months ago because he kept acting like a know it all jerk, but he couldn’t really explain basic crypto blockchain fundamentals. He came on hot and heavy last fall out of nowhere intent on “building the community.”

I’ve been in ZBCN for almost 2 years, way before the first major pump last summer. I believe in ZBCN but guys like this can really hurt the project. He got a little too close to the top admin at HQ for my opinion.

@crypto_king34 “OKAY”

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

Absolutely!!!! They knew who they were hiring and chose to pay them less than what a qualified American Citizen would be paid. If we clean up the HR departments and the owners who direct the hires we will employ more Americans who can help our economy.

Many forget that a large chunk of those earnings leave our country within 48 hours of an illegal alien being paid.

XRP ARMY!!!!!
The 30D Liquidity Index for XRP on Binance is currently at ~0.043, its lowest level since January 2020.
Often bullish signal historically: Similar low-liquidity squeezes in the past have preceded sharp moves upward when catalysts appear (e.g., news, upgrades, or broader market recovery). Many analysts see this as a "calm before the breakout" setup.

@aroogle, no disrespect sir. HBAR is now legally a Commodity, not a security, stock, or bond. Gasoline has no market cap, neither does oil, they price on supply and demand. Hbar has a limited 50 billion, only enough for every person currently on earth to hold 8 tokens.

When RWA tokenization begins HBAR will show its primary utility abilities. I don’t think it will ever be $100.00 but I am confident it will be $5.00 in the next 5-7 years. A $5,000.00 investment today could be worth $300,000 in 5 years. I’ll take that bet. Love your posts I just think HBAR has a role moving forward.

Please share one of those with me. I have been shooting over 40 years. I hand load my own ammunition, have killed over 200 deer and well over 500 hogs. I primarily use a Remington model 700 30.06. The blast of that gun in that arena would have been unmistakable. I say hoax. Send post 1 recording with this unmistakable BOOM.

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

@SammyTherese Been saying this for 7 months! I hand load 30.06, have killed over 200 deer and 500 hogs with it. In an enclosed area Charlie was shot in it would sound like a cannon!!!!!

@ZBCNMAN @telcoin @Zebec_HQ @ZBCNMAN I have 2 employees in the Philippines that it currently take a week to get them their checks. Do you know if the company is set up yet for me to just get the ZBCN cards so I can pay them immediately? Thanks my friend and thanks for everything you do for our community!!

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

@ZBCNMAN @telcoin @Zebec_HQ @ZBCNMAN I’m praying for ONDO and we will kill it with RWA payments!!!

Crypto Insights:
1. Prepare for an eruption when the conflict in Iran settles down, the CLARITY ACT is confirmed, and the global oil situation is resolved.
2. Currently almost every crypto is touching near or above 30 day highs.
3. The reason they can’t breakout has two reasons.
A. Investors who bought at the bottom are securing their 30-100% gains.
B. There is not enough new mo ey coming in to overcome those taking profit.
4. The time to stack up your positions is coming to an end. If you are going to get in or want to increase your positions DO IT NOW.
5. The entire crypto market is sitting at 2.7 trillion down from a high in October 2025 of 4.35 trillion.
6. When that money, and all the money sitting on the side comes in expect the overall crypto market to reach 5.5-6 trillion quickly.
7. Investment now in fintech, utility, and the properly situated crypto companies will se anywhere from a 5X to 20X.

You have been properly warned. Get in, Get out, or Get left behind.

@ZBCNMAN Is there any way you can probe a little bit and find out the following;
1. In order to be considered a “Mature Blockchain” a company can only hold 20% of their tokens.
2. Currently ZBCN holds 50% tokens in their treasury.
3. I know they are going to use their value to make more acquisitions and I am 100% for that, exactly as XRP has done.
4. Can you ask your contacts if they know if there is going to be a lockup of the 20% anytime soon? That would remove them from circulation and give us an immediate 20% price increase.
5. Just want you to know your push for this community is not overblown, you have truly earned the name ZBCNMAN!!
Thanks, much appreciated!!!

@ZBCNMAN @pvthill63b @hedera @Zebec_HQ One of your BEST reports ever. @ZBCNMAN, it is amazing to watch your growth! I joined you when you had like 60 followers and was pushing a give away last fall. I am personally appreciative of this because I hold a BIG BAG of HBAR!

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

@ZBCNMAN It is freaking amazing!!!!! If you’re not there you are missing out!!!

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

@CryptoStarRail @CantonNetwork Awesome @CryptoStarRail

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

Canton Coin seems unmoved by BTC. It constantly stays in the .14-.15 trough. It was not even moved by the October manipulation . Shows some serious strength behind it. I believe when it does move you better watch out!

[Richard Ledford @RichardLed3198]

My most hated thing about X are the fake unverified copied accounts. It is frustrating when I think I’ve actually gotten a response from someone I respect and all their fake accounts contact me.

CRYPTO OWNERS BE ALERT. The PACE ACT looks amazing. Better than the CLARITY ACT for crypto utility implementation! Here are the top 5 benefits.

1. Direct access to core Federal Reserve payment systems (Fedwire, FedNow, and FedACH): Qualified crypto/fintech firms could open a “payments reserve account” at the Fed for real-time, instant, and ACH settlements—bypassing intermediary banks that currently add delays, fees, and counterparty risk. This levels the playing field for stablecoin issuers and crypto payment providers.
2. National OCC registration framework for “registered covered providers”: Instead of navigating 40+ state money transmitter licenses (MTLs), approved nonbanks (including digital asset companies) get a single federal registration under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency with clear standards, timelines, and oversight—reducing regulatory fragmentation and accelerating nationwide scale for crypto payments.
3. Bank-like safeguards tailored to payments business models: The bill requires 1:1 reserves, segregated customer funds, no commingling or reuse of assets, capital/liquidity rules, and strong consumer protections (with customer priority in insolvency). These standards build trust while allowing crypto firms to operate safely on Fed rails, making stablecoins and tokenized payments more attractive for mainstream adoption.
4. Lower costs and faster settlements for consumers/businesses: By cutting out bank intermediaries, the Act would enable cheaper, near-instant payments using digital assets—directly boosting utility for use cases like programmable payroll, cross-border remittances, and hybrid traditional/crypto flows that projects like Ripple/XRP and stablecoin issuers need for real-world volume.
5. Explicit support for digital asset innovation: The legislation was designed with crypto in mind (endorsed by the Blockchain Association, Digital Chamber, Crypto Council for Innovation, and others) and explicitly addresses how “digital asset payment companies” have been locked out of legacy infrastructure. It also allows tokenized reserves and aligns with emerging stablecoin rules (e.g., referencing the GENIUS Act), paving the way for broader on-chain/off-chain interoperability.
