@CryptoWendyO Oh well the rest of the world can pursue with defi and America will slowly crawl along behind. I'm sure Dubai, the EU, UK and China can host your crypto firms and lead
@LauraLoomer Makes me laugh Americans thinking there is or ever was an American dream....... thats just what was drummed into you all from childhood but it never existed, it was only ever a dream not reality
This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@Rose_xao@grok Really?! 21 million btc available total and 100 billion xrp and you expect the price to be the same? There are 4762 times more xrp than btc. Xrp needs to only be $26.61 to have same market cap as btc.... very achievable
@YourAnonCentral Everyone has to suck his cock or be banished to the back seats. One day when trump is no more they will say they had no choice but to suck him off
@Vet_X0 The XRP Ledger software version 3.4.0 was only released on 16–17 September 2026. The two new amendments it introduced (LendingProtocolV1_1 and fixCleanup3_4_0) became available for validator voting at that point.
Not live yet, just in validator voting stage
$XRP RUMOR CHECK
$XRP got attached to Stripe, a rejected ETF, a $130 million dump, a hardware-wallet breach, and a Nasdaq listing today. There are real stories underneath all of those. The headlines are the problem.
The Stripe story is real, but Stripe didn’t suddenly adopt $XRP. RippleX released XRPL AI Starter Kit v1.1, which lets developers use XRPL as a settlement option with Stripe and Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol. $XRP can be used for certain payments through the kit. That’s a legitimate integration path. It isn’t Stripe announcing that its customers are now paying with $XRP, and there’s no published production volume yet. A developer kit supporting Stripe’s payment standard and Stripe adopting $XRP are two different things.
The SEC rejected another $XRP ETF headline is bullshit too. The Teucrium filing delays the 2x Short Daily $XRP ETF until Oct. 11. It doesn’t reject it. Their 2x long $XRP product is already trading. Delay and denial aren’t interchangeable words just because one gets more clicks.
The D’CENT situation is serious. Ledger reconstruction shows 1,552 wallets lost just over 2 million $XRP during the Sept. 15 drain. But D’CENT says the confirmed cases involve its App Wallet, not a confirmed breach of its hardware wallets. If somebody used the same recovery phrase in the App Wallet, that’s a different situation. Saying hardware wallets got hacked takes a real theft and changes what actually happened.
Then there’s the 100 million $XRP that left Uphold today. The transaction is real. It moved from a labeled Uphold wallet to an unlabeled address. What isn’t on the ledger is the reason. There’s no field that says whale dumping. It could be a withdrawal, custody movement, OTC activity, or something else. Until there’s evidence showing what happened next, it’s a 100 million $XRP transfer. Period.
Franklin’s $3.5 million is real too. Its XRPZ fund recorded about $3.5 million of net inflow on Sept. 16. That’s money flowing into an existing $XRP investment product. It isn’t Franklin suddenly making some new $3.5 million corporate bet on $XRP today.
The Nasdaq story is early. Evernorth has a large disclosed $XRP treasury and a Sept. 30 shareholder vote tied to its proposed combination and XRPN listing. That vote hasn’t happened yet. Calling XRPN a new Nasdaq-listed $XRP company today is running ahead of the actual process.
Something actually changed on XRPL. BatchV1_1 crossed 80% validator support and entered its 14-day activation window. It’s sitting at 29 of 35 validators in this snapshot. If that support holds, activation is projected around Sept. 29. It isn’t live yet. Crossing 80% starts the clock. Holding it for the required period is what gets the amendment enabled.
CLARITY is still getting recycled too. The Sept. 15 cloture vote failed. That didn’t reopen the Ripple case, erase $XRP’s existing regulatory record, or magically change the asset into something else. Nothing new happened there today.
Strip away the headlines and today was pretty straightforward. XRPL got another developer path into AI payments. BatchV1_1 is counting down. Existing $XRP funds are still taking money in. The D’CENT theft is real, but the confirmed scope is the App Wallet. The 100 million $XRP Uphold transfer is real, but nobody has proven it was a dump. That’s where everything actually stands.
