THIS GUY TURNED AN OLD SMARTWATCH INTO A DIGITAL SHIFT KNOB FOR HIS 2001 AUDI AND THEN MADE IT EVEN CRAZIER

instead of throwing away an old TicWatch, he 3D printed a custom housing and mounted it on his gear stick

he vibe coded a custom WearOS app that uses the watch's built in accelerometer and gyroscope to read the physical angle of the shift stick and display which gear you're in

the hardest part was driving on hills. going uphill would throw off the angle readings and show random gears. he had to build dynamic calibration into the algorithm so it could adjust in real time

his car is a 2001 audi B5. the old communication protocol is so limited for gear data that building his own accelerometer app was actually easier than pulling from the car's computer

then he went further

he vibe coded an invisible touch spotify controller into the same shift knob

swipe up on the knob to skip a track. swipe down to go back. tap to pause. all using the watch's touch screen while your hand is already on the shifter

no extra buttons, no phone mount, no looking away from the road. your hand is on the shift knob anyway so the controls are right where you need them

the watch also shows whatever is playing via bluetooth between gear changes

3D printed the enclosure, vibe coded the app, and turned e-waste into the coolest car mod on the internet

If you missed yesterday's $XRP announcement, this is what I was referring to.

Most people still don't get the significance, so allow me to elaborate:

During SEC v. Ripple Labs it surfaced that there were 1,700 NDA's between Ripple and other companies. A lot of people speculated that those NDA's pertained to banks.

Yesterday's announcement is not Speculation. Ripple publicly confirmed not just 1,700, but 13,000 banks connected through their system where $12.5T flows.

Putting that into perspective, there are 4,336 registered 'Banks and Savings Institutions' in the United States. There are also 4,287 'Credit Unions'. Many of these institutions are international throughout Western civilization.

That means that Ripple is now promulgated into almost every western (anglo-society) banking institution. That is where the $12.5T number comes from.

But you don't care about that right? You want to know what it will do for the price of XRP. Let's go apply the Bakkes Pipeline (Stock to flow) model:

If 20,000,000,000 $XRP move $12.5 Trillion annually the average price per $XRP is $625. That $589 number and the chart I've shared many times do not look so far out of reach now, do they?

There is hopium, and then there is this 👇

The billboards are live.

The story doesn’t stop there.

We didn’t fold. You didn’t either.

The Head of Claude Code at Anthropic hasn't written code by hand in months.

In 2 days he shipped 49 full features. 100% written by AI.

He just dropped a 30-minute talk on exactly how he does it.

More valuable than any $500 vibe coding course. Bookmark it.

@RoundtableSpace I just worked on a project today and with this claude-mem after running compact command it said I could recall context from 645k tokens at a cost of just 19k tokens! 🤩 This tool claude-mem is fantastic! 💪

Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT)

Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision.

With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential.

Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype.

Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!

[Ripple @Ripple]

RLUSD: the year of the stablecoin

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

HUGE news! @Ripple just received conditional approval from the @USOCC to charter Ripple National Trust Bank. This is a massive step forward - first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight.

To the banking lobbyists – your anti-competitive tactics are transparent. You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?

[Ripple @Ripple]

Institutional payments. Secure asset custody. Regulated stablecoins. Everything onchain.

It's happening: the convergence of crypto and traditional finance is accelerating the Internet of Value.

That’s a wrap for Ripple Swell 2025. We’ll see you next year, NYC! 🗽

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

2025, without a doubt, has been an incredible year for @Ripple, and a record year for crypto as a whole. Although we have a couple of months left, this announcement feels like the cherry on top of a mountain of good news:

Today we announced a $500M investment in Ripple, from Fortress Investment Group, @citsecurities, @PanteraCapital, @galaxyhq, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace at a $40B valuation.

This investment isn’t just validation of Ripple’s growth strategy and business built on the foundation of XRP, but also a clear bet on what the future of crypto will look like. I’m very proud of what we’ve built, and all that’s to come.

We just removed trading fees on @Ripple RLUSD/USD to make it more accessible for anyone to swap and hold. Try using RLUSD today.
