Couldn’t resist..
You not notice on the latest YouTube from Tammy and Sean, they are quoted at the end saying ‘All the things we’ve been working a decade on’
Stronghold was officially formed in 2017, $SHX in 2018
Stronghold is Ripple and Stellar combined
It was planned and decided back in 2014
Don’t think of Stellar, Ripple, Stronghold as separate entities, they’re all the same, same people, same investors, same tech, all just doing slightly different things
Ripple and Stellar figured out the US ACH market in particular couldn’t be conquered sufficiently via $XRP or $XLM
That’s why they created Stronghold
But it’s more than that, #StrongholdNET is all the everyday money in the US
It’s the bridge to compliantly and quickly onboard all of the US to blockchain, and $CRYPTO once official regulations pass
And this then bridges the Stellar Network, $XRPL, $Fed, $USACH + #ISO20022 for all #StrongholdNET, participants of which there are already millions
They all have customisable payment networks via a simple API, white labelled, full reporting, full integration into blockchain, compliantly, securely, and at lightening speeds
People aren’t going to create a wallet, or start coding smart contracts to then be able to start using, and benefiting from Blockchain
The US market is massive, Ripple and Stellar recognised it needed its own company to concentrate purely on the interface moment
#StrongholdNET + $SHX is that simple, customisable, compliant gateway to $CRYPTO in the US, and beyond..
When US regulations you won’t be able to catch $SHX for dust, same with $XRP and $XLM
They all feed into each other, they will collectively be all of the money
You asked. We bridged.
SHx is expanding into the XRPL ecosystem.
Through our new bridge via @squidrouter and @axelar, SHx can now move across chains into an ecosystem built for regulated, enterprise-grade participation. This is a step toward more accessible, compliant liquidity.

🚨 URGENT UPDATE TO THE XRP COMMUNITY 🚨
Dear XRP Community,
I’m truly sorry to have to post a message like this—especially right after Christmas—but protecting the community from serious misinformation and ensuring accurate information about XRP is shared is far too important for me to remain silent.
As many of you already know (and for those who missed my message yesterday), numerous community members reached out to me privately asking for my opinion on Lewis Jackson’s recent videos. That’s why I forced myself to watch approximately 30 minutes across two of them, covering XRP flow, utility, private/shared ledgers, and his so-called "framework."
What I saw was staggering. The videos are packed with profound misunderstandings, blatant inaccuracies, and outright nonsense about how the XRP Ledger and Ripple's solutions actually function. It's not a difference of opinion—it's a complete disconnect from technical reality and verifiable facts. The level of misinformation was so bad I couldn't even finish them; it was genuinely upsetting.
This content isn't just unhelpful—it's dangerous junk that risks misleading people, especially those new to XRP.
The entire "Lewis Jackson framework" and the conclusions in these videos are fundamentally worthless. They belong straight in the trash—shredded, discarded, and ignored. For these claims to even be 15% correct, David Schwartz—the architect of the XRP Ledger, creator of Interledger, and holder of the distributed ledger patent dating back to 1988—would have to be 100% wrong about how the XRPL, Interledger, AMM, and Ripple's CBDC platform actually work which is obviously impossible and not the case.
It's a shame so much time went into creating something so utterly clueless and detached from the truth.
What made it particularly frustrating is the way it was presented: positioning himself as the sole guardian of the truth, the only one who has truly figured out how XRP works—while simultaneously pushing deeply flawed misinformation and attempting to funnel the entire community toward this erroneous "framework."
Let me be crystal clear: this is NOT a personal attack on Lewis Jackson. I have respect for the effort he has put in over the years, but this is a genuine concern for the community and deep frustration with the severe inaccuracies and the way this misinformation has been presented as factual analysis.
XRP holders: you do NOT need to wait for my response videos to feel confident again. This message alone should be more than enough to reassure you—his recent videos and conclusions are pure junk. The fundamentals & potential of XRP remains solid, and none of this noise changes a thing.
That said, I will still release at least 1-2 detailed, fact-based response videos breaking down the major errors point by point. With Christmas travel, family commitments, finalizing the Apex Crypto Academy launch, and my full schedule, it will realistically take 7-12 days.
Please share this message far and wide with the community as soon as possible—let's make sure everyone sees the facts and stays protected from this misinformation.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. The truth always prevails.
Merry Christmas again and a prosperous New Year to you and your families.
