An extremely pointed message from @POTUS to those who are dragging their feet on CLARITY.

This is, and always has been, about what’s in the best interest of the American people.

Če svoboda sploh kaj pomeni, potem je to pravica, da ljudem povemo tisto, česar ne želijo slišati.

Podpornikom trenutne vlade pa je svoboda govora pomembna samo takrat, ko bi Repić podprl njihovo kampanjo. Takrat bi me postavili verjetno tudi za ministra, neglede na mojo predkaznovanost. 🤡

Braniti svobodo govora, ne pomeni zagovarjati kaznivih dejanj iz preteklosti. V nasprotnem spremenite ustavo in omogočite vstop na volišča samo ljudem s potrdilom o nekaznovanosti.

[Nepridiprav @nisemfejk]

Na lastni koži sem ugotovil, da je pod to vlado represija nad svobodo govora neprimerljivo hujša kot v času covida. Takrat sem na glas povedal, kaj vse me moti, in me nihče ni označeval za “levičarja” ali me skušal utišati. Pod vlado “svobodnih” pa mi je bila svoboda omejena na načine, ki jih premore le diktatura.

Izbrisan mi je bil Instagram račun, ki je bil ustvarjen že leta 2012, na katerem sem vedno povedal, kar mi je ležalo na duši. Tisti, ki me zares še ne poznate, ste morda izgubili upanje, da bom sploh še kdaj spregovoril na glas. Vsi tisti, ki me pa dobro poznate, pa verjamem, da si že pripravljate novo porcijo kokic.

Zaradi nastale situacije sem se odločil, da svoj glas prenesem na socialno omrežje X, v upanju, da ostanem slišan.

V življenju so me doletele že veliko hujše stvari kot vse to, kar se mi je zgodilo v zadnjih dveh tednih. A kot sem že večkrat povedal … težko me bo utišati ‼️#nismofejk #nepridiprav

"Are we in a bear market?"

This is kind of the issue with the arguments about if we are in a "bear market" or not.

Everyone's definition is literally different.

If the logic is that "X% of correction = bear market" then by that definition we had 6 "bear markets" in the 2 year span of 2015-2017 as we rose from $200-$20,000.

I don't consider the 6 "corrections" in 2017 as different, distinct, "bear markets" because most of them only lasted a few weeks before continuation to new highs.

Just as there are smaller cycles within larger cycles, there are different degrees of "corrections" within any larger secular bull trend.

The "degree" of a correction is dependent on where we are in a particular cycle, and is based on BOTH time and price.

A 40% drop that recovers in 5-6 months, after which we make new ATH's is not the same as an 85% drop that takes three years to recover from.

The former, despite it's depth, was just a larger correction within a bull market (imo), because the trend resumed to the upside some months later.

This makes it distinctly different from a correction that is 70+%, which lasts for 2 years, or a correction that is 80+%, that lasts for 5 years. Both of those would be corrections of a larger "degree".

The "bear markets" that happen AFTER a blow off top are always the most brutal, usually both in time and price. Everything else is usually a correction of a "smaller degree".

For example, in the chart below:

The two "bear markets" that followed blow off tops are marked in ORANGE, and these were the most devastating both in terms of price and time. Each dropped 85% from the highs and took 1100+ days to recover to new highs from.

The two "bear markets" in BLUE were both "mid-cycle corrections", still pretty deep at 70-75% depth, but both recovered back to new highs in a shorter amount of time (500-800 days).

All the smaller corrections in RED are corrections of an even smaller degree than the blue or orange. These lasted for a number of weeks or months, with the longest lasting around 240 days until new highs, and corrected anywhere between 20% to 40%.

Some people may call every "deep" correction over X% a "bear market" but that leaves out a ton of important context because not all "bear markets" are the same and you shouldn't position the same way during every "bear market" either.

Some are just aggressive shakeouts in a stronger up-trend where you would want to be buying the dip while some are corrections of a much higher "degree" where it probably makes more sense to sit on your hands and wait.

I've seen some on here argue that we are in a "bear market" but are now saying they believe we are close to the end of it and they are looking to "buy the dip".

Was this really a "bear market" if we were at all time highs literally just 3 months ago and you expect us to see new highs soon?

The degree of the correction matters more than the verbiage. What some might call a "bear market" may be what others simply call a "deep correction" within a larger uptrend.

Like all things in markets there is a LOT of nuance, it is not as simple as "are we in a bear market?"

"Ripple has 300+ bank partnerships, but after 13 years, shouldn't there be billions in daily on-chain volume?"

I think there are a number of reasons why institutions have historically preferred to use digital assets off chain rather than on chain. I think we're close to changing that because institutions are starting to see the benefits of moving on chain. But I agree it has been very slow. Even Ripple can't use the XRPL DEX for payments yet because we can't be sure a terrorist won't provide the liquditity for payment. Features like permissioned domains will address this.

"If XRP is volatile, why use it over stablecoins for transfers?"

There are use cases where volatility isn't a minus, or is even a plus. Generally, for most digital assets the general view is that the upside is worth more than the downside, so as long as you aren't very risk averse, holding it is not really a disadvantage.

"If volatility is not an issue because it’s a bridge currency, what is the incentive to hold it?"

A bridge currency only works if someone is holding it so that you can get it precisely when you need it. But I think that in practice if you don't know what asset you will need to hold next, you may hold the dominant bridge currency because it should be cheaper to exchange into whatever you happen to need next.

"Are bridge currencies still necessary when stablecoins will cover most pairs in the future?"

If one stablecoin wins, then no. You would just use that stablecoin as the bridge currency. But I don't think one stablecoin can win for several reasons, including that a stablecoin can only be stable relative to one particular fiat currency and will always have jurisdictional ties. If we're in a multi-stablecoin world, it still makes sense to have a bridge asset that serves the long tail of tokenized securities, loan portfolios, and so on.

"Why would giants like BlackRock use XRPL for tokenization instead of building their own blockchain? (Robinhood uses Arbitrum and plans their own)"

I'm not sure how much that will really matter so long as we have interoperability and asset portability. Multiple chains are a good form of scalability as well. But I think the best way to see why they might is to ask the same question about Circle -- why don't they launch USDC only on their own blockchain? You can see why that's obviously silly. I think the same kind of logic will apply to tokenized real world assets over the next year or two.

"Geopolitical risk. Why would foreign countries trust a US based private company payment network?"

If you're asking about XRPL, it's not really US based. It has never discriminated against any particular participant and if it ever started to, I would hope people would stop using it. If you mean Ripple's enterprise payment products, we have separately licensed entities in many jurisdictions. But obviously, you're not going to see it in North Korea or Cuba any time soon and their might be, in some cases, pushback to a US company having some control over, say, payments between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. We build trust and we make hay where the sun shines.

🚨🇺🇸 EPSTEIN FILES EXPOSE GATES JPMORGAN PLAN TO TURN PANDEMICS INTO PROFIT MACHINES YEARS BEFORE COVID

Unsealed DOJ documents from the Epstein trove reportedly include 2011 emails laying out a sophisticated playbook for monetizing future pandemics through hidden financial structures.

Epstein personally urged JPMorgan's elite asset management boss to create offshore arms and donor advised funds tied to Bill Gates initiatives explicitly designed to rake in cash under the guise of charity.
