@Vet_X0 @DeathRanger14 XRP Ledger is the JetBlue of crypto.

Stuck in the middle.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

JetBlue hasn't made a profit in six years. Spirit is on its second bankruptcy in under 12 months. Delta made $5 billion last year. They fly the same kinds of planes to the same airports, but two of them are dying and one is having the best run of its 100-year history.

In the last three months of 2025, Delta made more money from its premium seats than from its economy seats, for the first time ever. CEO Ed Bastian told investors that more than 95% of Delta's revenue now comes from households that earn more than $100,000 a year. Almost every new seat Delta adds in 2026 will be business class or first class, barely any economy at all.

The airline market has split in two. Business travelers and wealthy vacationers will happily pay $1,200 for a seat that folds into a flat bed. Everyone else picks whichever ticket is $9 cheaper on Google Flights. The middle of the market has vanished, and JetBlue has been sitting right in the middle for years.

About 60% of JetBlue's flying happens in New York and Florida, where it has to fight the big legacy airlines on one side and the dirt-cheap budget airlines on the other. JetBlue tried to be the nice middle option. Free wifi and decent legroom, plus seatback TVs that other airlines skip. It never built the luxury cabin revenue that Delta and United rely on. Its rewards program doesn't print money like Delta's American Express deal does. JetBlue owes about $9 billion and pays $600 million a year just in interest. It has lost money in most of the last six years.

Spirit tried the exact opposite and still lost. A pure budget airline with yellow planes and tickets starting at $49. Then travelers changed their minds. They decided paying a bit more for a seat assignment and a checked bag was worth it. Spirit bolted on bigger seats and bundled fares. That only raised its costs without making Spirit feel fancy. Two bankruptcies later, the company had just $337 million in the bank at the end of last year.

The Middle East fuel spike is speeding up a collapse that was already under way. Jet fuel went from an average of $2.49 a gallon in 2025 to $4.88 on April 2 of this year. That is a 95% jump in about five weeks, after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz shipping route at the end of February. JP Morgan estimates Spirit will lose 20 cents on every dollar if fuel stays at current levels. JetBlue will lose about $1.3 billion this year. Neither airline brings in enough rich-traveler money to cover that hole.

If both shrink or disappear, the winners are already picked. Delta, United, and American will walk away with the empty gates and the open takeoff times. Your cheap flight out of Fort Lauderdale just becomes a more expensive flight out of Fort Lauderdale.

Kinda wild this random CEO billionaire with no affiliation to XRP is talking about it. Definitely a sign. Such alpha.

[Vincent Van Code @vincent_vancode]

People should really understand when a billionaire CEO of a company, who, to be honest, could probably live without XRP, is telling you ABOUT XRP.

These little clues are the best we gonna get out of the big boys who know what's going on.

But that's fine, you keep ignoring these signs and buy $PEPE, cos it's a cool fkn frog.

@TheOnlineMarke3 So to confirm, you agree your USDC is stuck on the XRPL, there is no bridge, they felt the XRPL out.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@TheOnlineMarke3 I’m not sure you understand.

This is to move USDC between chains that have USDC Natively. Say you want to move your USDC from Solana to Ethereum, you can do that using this. They both have USDC natively.

However, for the XRPL your USDC is stuck there.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

This includes 17 chains but not the XRPL.

Which makes sense, since the USDC issuance and liquidity in the XRP Ledger is the lowest in all the chains they support.

[USDC @USDC]

Introducing the USDC Bridge.

A direct way to move USDC crosschain.

Built and operated by Circle, USDC Bridge gives you a predictable, transparent way to move USDC between chains:

→ Native burn-and-mint transfers
→ Clear fees upfront, with live status and progress
→ No route selection. No bridge complexity.
→ Destination gas handled automatically

Move USDC. That’s it.

@TheOnlineMarke3 No. CCTP doesn’t work for the XRPL either.

Can you cannot use Circle Mint. This is just for specific institutions for minting USDC.

@Vet_X0 @saylor Transactions would still get through, just slower. You cannot blockade bitcoin.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@Vet_X0 @saylor The largest miner has around 7% of hashpower, they would only mine 7/100 blocks. They would effectively slow down bitcoin by less than a minute over the span of a day.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@JamesDula82 @USDC XRP doesn’t solve this at all. It only bridges on its own chain. There are very few assets to bridge, leading to low TVL and liquidity.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@Vet_X0 @saylor I’m not sure how you think bitcoin works..they would constantly mine the transactions.

Also buying ASICS, is a long-term capital outlay. It’s takes, planning, ordering, wait/shipping time, and installation time. This has nothing to do with this short term theoretically situation

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@Vet_X0 @saylor There is no blockade, transactions will mine with no issue with the other miners, fees will grow for the honest miners since the dishonest one is leaving them on the table. This will cause hashpower to move to them

This incentive structure is why this never happened in 17+ years

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@reece_merrick @xspectDS In the sake of transparency, why not report how much of these inflows was Ripple?

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@Vet_X0 @saylor Honest miners will continue to mine the transaction, bitcoin will continue to work.

[⍼ ScamDaddy @ScamDetective6]

@bgarlinghouse It’s cute to pretend this is organic demand and not Ripple arranged.

As my first order of official ScamDetective business, now that I am back, is to clear up misinformation around the SEC appeal in the Ripple case. Here is a short article I wrote about the appeal process, what will likely be appealed & the Supreme Court.

I just used up another 1 of my 9 lives to come back here and correct the nonsense and misinformation being spread by the XRP community influencers. Imagine being this wrong in 2024. But don’t worry, ScamDaddy is here to clean up after you… again.

Forbes nailed it. Very accurate state of affairs regarding #XRP and Ripple.
