Quit being scared.
The time to be scared was a long time ago. This is just "max pain." 10.69 million BTC in a loss.
The gaslighting and cognitive dissonance of accepting it was a bear market forced the crowd to be late emotionally.
This is the historical time of opportunity.
Bitcoin maxi: “XRP iS a gAs tOkEn.”
Okay… what happened to gas (XRP) when cars (tokenized assets) debuted and highways (interoperable blockchains) were built? 🧐
In 1900, only ~10,000 cars were on U.S. roads, using just 100,000 gallons of gas/year…
Today??? Over 278 MILLION vehicles in the U.S burn through 130 BILLION gallons annually!!! 📈
See what happens when utility scales? 👀
Gas demand explodes. 🚀
So… what do you think will happen when tokenized assets “hit the road?” 🤔
Demand for gas tokens will SKYROCKET. 😉
But it gets even better…
Gasoline is variable and elastic… XRP is supply capped and deflationary…
So when demand for “gas” spikes… there will only ever be less and less XRP to go around.
In other words… BOOM. 🤯
🇺🇸 RIPPLE DOESN’T NEED CLARITY 🇺🇸
Brad Garlinghouse said the CLARITY Act won’t change Ripple’s business. $XRP already has regulatory clarity and has already been recognized as a commodity.
The bill is for everyone else.
Ripple is already ahead of the game. 🔥

I've been in crypto long enough to know when a moment is real. This is one of them.
10 years of Swell converging with real scale, institutional adoption, and Swell + Apex together for the first time this fall. We've been building toward this moment — see you in New York! @RippleSwell

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. They need trust, controls, and clear rules for how value moves.
We're helping build the infrastructure for trusted agent-driven payments, with the XRP Ledger and $RLUSD helping lay the foundation for the future of commerce.
We're pleased to be part of the ecosystem supporting @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines initiative, helping validate new use cases, establish common rules, and accelerate adoption.

For too long, the SEC was at odds with new technology and innovation, pushing entrepreneurs offshore.
That era is over.
Under President Trump’s leadership, and alongside colleagues across the Admin and Congress, we are delivering much needed clarity to digital asset markets.
The “Anti-Crypto Army” was defeated…
by the courts…
by the voters.
And by Trump.
It never made policy, legal or political sense.
Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.
Max on why he went with Red Bull's setup: "Sometimes you need to let them have their way and let them feel it doesn't work that way. So, I said: go ahead. If you really think that works, then we do it."
"I've said it so many times, but sometimes they need to feel that it doesn't work. I don't really know what to make of it anymore."

This is what the new regs have done to the best qualifiers on the grid:
Charles Lecrerc: "Worst weekend of my career. There’s never anything that works perfectly."
Max Verstappen: "If this continues like this, we’ll see. Mentally, I can’t keep going like this. Honestly, I can’t."
The Clarity Act isn't about protecting an industry. It's about protecting everyday Americans who deserve clear rules when they participate in the multi-trillion dollar crypto economy.
67 million Americans already hold crypto. The data is in. It's time.
See how many holders are in your state: https://t.co/mQb3pbyK7g
Max Verstappen looks into the camera and says to F1: “Take a good look. This is real motor racing. V8 engine, no battery concerns, no superclipping, and plenty of natural overtakes.”
