Mike Rowe says he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”

All three have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.

ROWE: “I was in Plano, Texas… got a tour of a data center.”

“I ran into three electricians, all under 30, all making north of 240 grand a year, all debt-free.”

“Now here’s the craziest part. All three had been poached three times in the prior 18 months.”

“The shortages are so acute that the companies don’t have time to train. They have to poach.”

“Great news for an electrician. But it’s a little weird for the economy overall.”

Alchemy Pay partnered with Ripple to add a fiat on-ramp for RLUSD, letting users convert local currency directly into the stablecoin. That's a payment processor plugging RLUSD into its existing on-ramp rails.

The DTCC acquired Securrency for its digital assets division.

Securrency supports tokenized securities on multiple blockchains, including some that are compatible with Ripple’s infrastructure.

When the DTCC buys tokenization technology, it isn’t doing so just to put on a demo. It’s doing so to actually use it.

Micheal Jordan makes $400M a year from Jordan Brand because he had originally turned down Nike to sign with Adidas but his mom disagreed with him and urged him to listen to her and sign with Nike.

Nike offered Jordan $500k per year and his own shoe line but his mom wanted him to have equity in the company instead.

Today Nike pays Michael Jordan over $250 million per year for his entire life. Jordan Brand is worth over $10 BN and Jordan’s net worth is approximately $4.3 BN

He has earned the majority of his net worth because he listened to his mom ❤️

Kimbal Musk explains United States Government wants to pay $1 billion dollars per rocket launch

SpaceX came along and said no, the price is way lower at only $50 million

US Government pushed back and wanted the cost $1 billion dollars per launch

“Government would say, "But we'll pay you $1 billion. We just want you to do it our way." No, but that's the wrong way. You have to do it this way. It's $50 million. We were very happy with that price. The government was like, "No, we don't want that." And we actually couldn't believe it. We're like, "But you must want it for a lower price." Actually, they didn't care that much about price.”

Basically it works like this

Old defense contractors can spend as much as they want and the government will pay that amount plus 10%. That means they have an incentive to make the launches as expensive as possible

SpaceX said here’s a fixed price of $50 million and if we can do it cheaper then we can keep the extra money

This is a much better incentive system because it saves taxpayers a huge amount of money and SpaceX gets rewarded for making launches cheaper

$ASTS - AST SpaceMobile could be awarded $1 billion this month 👀

"one operator is expected to be selected around the end of June"

The J-LEO Project is a massive Japanese government initiative aimed at building an autonomous, domestic satellite network to allow smartphone-to-satellite connectivity.

Backed by a substantial $1 billion budget through the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), the program focuses on:

* Providing direct-to-smartphone communication (DTC).Ensuring that vital satellite ground infrastructure is physically located in Japan for national security and autonomy.

* Guaranteeing free emergency services (SMS, data, and voice) during national disasters.

Currently, two major consortiums are competing for the project:

Rakuten Mobile partnering with AST SpaceMobile
KDDI partnering with SpaceX.

Exciting times.

Opening a business account for your crypto LLC? The phrase that works: 'holding company managing alternative investments with a sleeve for digital assets.' Banks hear 'crypto company' and decline. Same truth, framed in language they're built to approve.

It’s very likely that right after the Clarity Act is passed, the BIS, SWIFT, or even the IMF (after Japan has adopted XRP) will make their announcement.

XRP isn’t a typical asset, and you’ll soon realize that. I don’t care what you think the BIS and the IMF will have XRP on their balance sheets.

XRP T1 Asset.
