Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
After Aaliyah's tragic passing, her label backed out of paying the $68,000 funeral bill they had agreed to cover.
The mortuary went unpaid for months-until Maxwell quietly stepped in and paid the full amount out of his own pocket, without seeking any publicity.
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?
The global piggy bank has cracked open and the BankRun on U.S. debt is NOW...
The last 30 years, Japan printed currency at 0% rates with $3.4 trillion flowing into US Treasuries, European debt & emerging markets. Japan's investment on global debt provided essential liquidity that kept YOUR mortgage cheap, YOUR stocks inflated, YOUR governments solvent.
Now, the liquidity has disappeared.
Japan’s 10-yr yield hit 1.73%.
Now, instead of investing in our debt... Japan is pumping $110 billion stimulus into their own economy while Japan's debt sits at 263% of their national GDP.
The math is impossible, nothing can fix this... At 1.73% rates, Japan pays $27 billion MORE in interest... Every. Single. Year.
However, Japan will not pay that for long because its guaranteed to get worse!
Japan's pension funds are over leveraged into U.S. debt and have reached a point where keeping money in U.S. debt is now costing them money... they have no choice and they are cashing out. $1.1 trillion cashing out of US Treasuries RIGHT NOW. The U.S.A.'s largest foreign buyer of US Treasuries is officially a whale seller.
This sudden loss of liquidity, combined with the massive exodus of US Treasury positions must be paid for & the bill comes directly to YOU, all of it.
Here is the fall out...
-US 10-Year Yields Skyrocket (I don't think anyone can responsibly say how high at this point)
-Mortgage Rates Skyrocket, we are back to 7% at minimum and 12% is back on the table
-Corporate Debt Refinancing Skyrockets, cutting the only lifeline that would allow U.S. companies to weather this storm
-What is coming for the stock markets is a completely different conversation... its uglier.
This is the global 2008 crisis... and we can look at that as our case study for what will come next.
Just like back in 2008... this is not fixable, there is nothing that can logically be done, ever. Thus the entire world is faced with only 1 option... BAIL OUT.
The global reset starts today, they need to reset the entire global financial system...
This is day 1 of CRYPTO MASS ADOPTION.
Wicked people try to banish you to a realm in which you have a lack of opportunity, a lack of resources, a lack of community, and also a lack of mental stability. Prove to them that nothing that they could ever do works, because you turn water into wine and rocks into gold with little to nothing.
Everything that you touch transforms, everywhere you go..
The opportunities now available to Ripple Prime (fka Hidden Road) are expansive. With $RLUSD already being used as collateral for a number of prime brokerage products, and Ripple Prime looking at a variety of ways to utilize XRP, the future ahead is mighty bright.
