Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on? Chip, what's going on? Everybody out there in the on the Chain community tell you what's going on. Something interesting may be happening in the global financial system right now, and most people haven't even noticed it yet, which is kind of surprising. While the headlines focus on crypto prices and speculation, the real shift might just be happening right underneath the system, the surface, where, I don't know, people aren't really paying so much attention. I mean, some of you guys out there are. You guys know who you are over there. Ripple is expanding its global payment infrastructure. That's right. Institutions are gaining new access to digital assets through regulated products and networks like Flare. And we love that Flare. We love the development every day. It's amazing how many announcements those guys are having lately of the Flare over there. Are building program layers. Flare over there. They're building programmable layers around the XRP ecosystem, which all those XRP enthusiasts out there just love to see. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are rising and the traditional financial architecture is under pressure. So tonight, Chip, there's a simple question. Is the global financial system quietly rewiring around xrp?
B
I don't know if it's going, but yeah, but let's see. You know, when you step back, take a look at the bigger picture, a lot of these developments start connecting, always connecting the dots on the chain. And what. Because what Ripple has really been building for years might actually be the kind of infrastructure the next financial system runs on. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain.
A
Oh, oh, oh. IPium.
B
Oh, we're o. O. Where are you coming.
A
IPM and hopium.
B
Jeff. Chip. What's up? XRP Army Blue Rage crew. Brazil. Yeah, Brazil. That's what we chat.
A
With a vengeance.
B
Brazil. Brasilia. Yo, fellow. Die Hard with the Vengeance fans. That's right.
A
Die Hard with a vengeance.
B
You folks are too. Oh, that's good. With a vengeance. With a vengeance. Let's get into some. Some news. You know, the.
A
A lot of cool things.
B
The crypto ETFs. Change it out. Who can access the digital assets and XRP directly in the flow. So I'm gonna play a video right now. This is on Chain Economy from Grayscale. Grayscale, Grayscale. It's Ray Hannah. She's the head of product and research over there, and she's explaining how the regulated products are opening the door to XRP at scale. It's going to kind of COVID how ETFs lower the barrier to crypto exposure. How XRP's role in institutional digital assets portfolio. What broader access means for the on chain economy. The infrastructure is built, products are live, doors are open. Let's see XRP's battle tested blockchain. Let's see what she has to say. All right. Is none other than Raha. Let's go.
C
This is a battle tested blockchain. It's been around for a long time. A potential XRP ETF opens the door to entirely new groups of investors. This is just the beginning.
A
Got it.
B
Yeah. You gotta love these ETFs, man. You really think they would affect some price though? Because they're still really strong compared to everything else that's going out there in the crypto world. The ETFs, of course, grayscale has been around for a while, but it's, it's incredible how incredible big it is. And I'll tell you what we'll do now is let's take. That was kind of the teaser reel, but let's look at the, the full size one here. All right, let me go ahead and share this screen here. Let's share it, shall we? Here we go.
A
See what you got.
B
Here we go. Here we go. It's a little bit more in depth here, but here's Ray Hannah. Here we go.
C
ETF opens the door to entirely new groups of investors and is going to continue to drive forward the ecosystem.
A
That's it. It's over.
C
Hi, I'm Ray Sharifascari. I lead products and research at Grayscale. Grayscale is the world's largest crypto native asset manager. XRP is a battle tested blockchain. It's been around for a long time. I think these assets have different kind of use cases and exposure. That's right. For different kinds of investors. That's why we created the grayscale crypto sectors, which is a taxonomy that divides the crypto ecosystem into six sectors based on investable exposure and use case. XRP is an important part of the currency sector. We've been doing this a long time. We were the first to take Bitcoin and put it in a financial product. We were the first to challenge the incumbent regulatory infrastructure to bring crypto ETFs to market. So we have been engaging with regulators to help move forward this industry for a long time and we plan to keep doing that. As investors wrap their head around Bitcoin, as they start thinking about smart contracts like Ethereum, they are starting to think beyond that and they're thinking about how they diversify Amongst the other 50% or so of the crypto market cap. That's not bitcoin. To me, the on chain economy represents the growing set of applications, assets, and activity that. That operate natively on blockchains instead of in traditional infrastructure. Practically speaking, that means economic value that's recorded, transacted, and verified on blockchain networks. A potential XRP ETF opens the door to entirely new groups of investors. Now we have people asking how to allocate. We have crypto ETFs. We have a president on 60 Minutes talking about bitcoin and crypto. This is just the beginning.
B
Just the beginning. Like how she does that thing at the end where she talks and she goes up at the end and everything.
A
It's just the beginning. Just so I'm gonna.
B
I'm gonna look at this, Jeff. I just. This is so funny because I. Check it out. My brother's got a new channel. I'm gonna bring him on here. He just started his own YouTube channel. And I don't know if you see that or not, but I do. Why? Why are you broadcasting the same time as me? It's my younger bro. Tell me if you can hear what he's saying here.
A

B
Making fun of.
A
Making fun of entertainment news. You know, I got some of that. Same thing with the Oscars.
B

A

A
No, I heard nothing.
B
Nobody heard it. Why don't you say something, dude?
A
I did, but I don't think you could hear me either.
B
It's blasted in my ear. That's why I shared it with sound and everything. I don't know. It's weird, you know, you got to do the shared thing with the image with the freaking tab. Did it. Did you at least see it?

D
Celebrity scandal.
B
You hear it, Jeff?
A
Yeah.
B
We lost your camera.
A
Oh, I don't know what happened.
D
Here we go. It's the news bro show.
B
There you go. The news bro Show. It's the news bros. Show. I don't know what happened to Jeff. Jeff was having problems earlier with his. With his camera, his mic. That's how things go. That's. Thank you, man. That's how it goes. Deepest apologies. We're gonna. We'll take it. Streaming some. There you go. Ah, it's too funny. Let's talk about. Let's talk about Brazil Ripple and Brazil. Let's go into this right here. Geez, Jeff, what's going on? He just rebooted. He's been having issue issues.
A
Can you see me?
B
I do.
A
I don't know why I'm getting all sluggish. Look, I'm stocked.
B
But you're. Yeah, you're kind of. I don't know what's going on, man. Maybe it's your. Maybe it's your computer. Got any other tabs?
A
Everything else, nothing. And I redid The. I redid everything too. And we gotta get rid of the cash. Cash. I have too much cash.
B
You see, if you got cash, you see what it is? If you got too much cash, you can't have too much cash. Cash. I like the people that call it cachet. Be like, I have to clear my cachet. I'm like, oh, do you? Oh, fantastic. If you clear your cache. But look at this. Yeah, this is something, huh? Look at ripples going all in on Brazil. It's 100 billion in process. 60 plus markets live with Banco Genio, Braza Bank, Nomad, Azify, More you've got ripple custody recently launched in Brazil at CRX treasury. Decades of corporate treasury management expertise. RL USD 1.5 billion market cap with Mercado, Bitcoin, Foxbit, Ripio and more. One provider. The complete financial stock. There is every bit of it.
A
I figured it out.
B
What was it?
A
So Chrome and decided that it was going to put my setting to Savor. To prefer energy saver mode.
B
Yeah.
A
Which kills everything. Why? Why is it just adding settings? I disable like as many settings as possible.
B
I always have problems.
A
Chrome and Streamyard, they're making it worse, Jeff.
B
It's like it starts getting to be worse and worse now. You know what? I gotta tell you, Jeff, I'm. I've got. I'm about ready to go on a rant because this is really starting to piss me off. It's really starting to piss me off. Everybody completely lost track of how things work. Okay, look at this. Stu Alarat. Okay, here we go. I mean, this is really starting to piss me off. Stu says we. Well, first of all, U.S. securities and Exchange Commission, SEC. Today the Commission issued an interpretation notice. It's an interpretation. Sorry, but you don't make interpretations. Don't you remember Chevron was overturned. Chevron rule agencies can't make up. That was basically what the Supreme Court ruled on. But they said they issued an interpretation. Okay, well, please cite, please do cite the law that this is interpreted from. Because I want to see that clarifies the application of federal security laws to crypto assets. Because there's nothing in any laws that Congress has passed that definitively makes that. What do you call it? The distinction. Right. I mean, there's nothing there. It's a major step to provide greater clarity. That's great, but you have nothing. This is Congress. And then Stu, as if he forgot about being a lawyer and an attorney and how the SEC works, says we always knew XRP wasn't a security. Now the SEC's made it clear what it is. It's a digital commodity. Grateful for the crypto task force working to deliver the clarity that the market investors and innovators have long deserved. Do they not know that only Congress can do this? They were citing 33 and 34 security laws, the SEC to go out and prosecute ripple the 1947. Where does it mention, Explain where it mentions and what interpretation like, do you notice they don't cite exactly where that's from?
A
They never cite. They never make any type of clear distinction. You know, I think that's, you know, a big issue. I don't think the SEC changes much. You know, they've changed a little bit. They don't have someone at the helm that's trying to destroy crypto, but inefficiencies within. Within government agency is still alive and well. Apparently.
B
The next guest on the news bros. I don't understand this, Jeff. It's driving me crazy. And though, you know those bankless guys that wear the giant headphones they got, they got. You got to get the biggest headphones you've ever seen with the tiniest heads you've ever seen. They're not really. They're normal head. They're just got little tiny heads and they wear these giant headphones and they're like, they're like doing backflips about this. I'm like, dude, do you not understand? Great. Okay, so then the next. It's as good is, you know, until the next administration comes along. But they're sitting around enjoying this like it means something. It's just ridiculous. And here's what I wrote.
A
Yeah. It says until Congress acts, the SEC rules from the executive branch.
B
Look at this right here. That's a fun gesture, but only Congress can make the rules. Remember Chevron? Oh, God. We knew for the start Ripple was sued for absolutely nothing.
A
But they did know. I mean, you know, that's why they fought it. You know, they knew they fought for it. They, they won. They knew it wasn't a security.
B
I don't know, man. I just, I think I honestly getting dumber, Jeff. I really think they're starting to get dumber. Oh, this is fantastic. Okay, if it's an interpretation where site please cite the actual law that Congress passed that you're responsible for enforcing. Because I'd love to see that.
A
Is this any different from the Hinman and eth opinion? I mean they issued. They issue an opinion in and around the functionality and investment in.
B
Well, that was also before it, wasn't it?
A
That was before but it and I. But that also had to do with the ICOs in the beginning.
B
Right, but. But the. But that's because it was based. Then he came back and said, no, he didn't issue it. No, he didn't say that. So, you know, I mean, look what happened to xrp because a rumor said it was going to list on Coinbase. You know, look at this, Jeff. There's some sad news. Algorand Foundation. Today, the Algorand foundation made a difficult decision. Reduce our workforce by 25. Decision was not taken lightly. Sure. The decision was not taken lightly. Okay. Lawyer speak. And it's in response to uncertain global macro environments as well as the broader downturn in crypto markets.
A
Why don't they. Why don't they just say it was the broader downturn in crypto markets. There's no uncertainty in the global macro environment. It's the broader downturn in crypto market.
B
And then throw that at the end. But you know what? Came in and said, Ripple X is hiring. So if you have a Strong blockchain, fundamentals, C expertise, please reach out Ripples on the hirings. You know, Ripple's hiring. All their chains are.
A
Yeah, projects. Projects that are in growth mode, that are building, that are, Are advancing, but have a. A fund. You know, Ripple's fortunate to have a massive fund nest egg that they're sitting on that to allow them to continue the, the development. Algorand just might not have that. And that's another part of it. They can't say. Oh, by the. By the way, we ran out of funding. We can't continue this anymore.
B
That's not shutting.
A
They're not shutting down 100.
B
No.
A
But they can't say, right? Yeah, they're never gonna. Because that, that'd be scary for the rest of everyone that's there at that point.
B
Except this one.
A
I'm not gonna. Not gonna mention it.
B
This is some of the best stuff I've seen in a long time, by the way. David Schwartz had reposted this and he said, this is absolute genius. If anyone connected to this is ever in the San Francisco area, please let me know. I want to buy all of you a beer, but here it is right here. Jeff, pay attention closely. But it's good. It's a. It's a parody of a song, and it features David Schwartz. Here we go. Surprise. Right? Here we go. Now look at the painting right there. So you got the Judge Torres in the center. It's a painting of Judge towards the center. You got Gary Gensler on the left looks like Bill him. I don't know who that is in the right then you got Brad standing up on top of the desk is one leg up and Stu just like partying, like super excited, right? It's funny how it zooms in on a painting, but here we go. Let's watch this.

I know you stole my Plato next. You just ignored it after. Watch it. Hey, we're trying to sat right in front. You didn't even look at me pulling the shade stuff. I want my XRP T shirt to held my side high. You look right past my face to answer some random guys. So what's the deal with ever north in 2020? Jesus wanted things now keeping the big dream alive. You guys are buying companies. Expanding global reach. Violin. I'm still eating ramen noodles, practicing my speech. But when I buy a Lambo, I decode all your memes. You posted a moon I gave up. What the hell's it mean? This ain't a date. A rental. Bearable. That one so Greek. Set your jingle all the way and next I'll be is breaking free. I even got a tattoo of you with Brad on my chest. I told my boss to find me and said the coin is blessed. Attract Brad darling, house is dead. To see who he will meet. Increase the ISO status to the homeless on the street who think I'm crazy.

Yo, Mr. I'm too busy to flip the goddamn switch. This'll be the last time I ever fall for prices. Glitch. I took out three mortgages just to buy the dip. Now I'm sitting in the dark watching the market slip. I'm driving on the freeway. You broke my trust line. I put it all on honey facts. I'm crossing the rag line. I drank six cans of Monster Dare me to. I stole Chris Larson's Lambo just to keep the dream alive. Remember when you posted that picture of a pie? I calculated PI times dates and thought I touched the sky. You could have saved me, David, from this liquidation, Bane. But you just kept on coding on your so called Friday saying it's 2026. The banks are supposed to use the coin. I did the research. I know the dots you guys are joined. I gave you all my trust. Don't tear my life apart now. I'm completely broken now I'm bleeding from the heart, see? David. Shut up, bitch. I'm trying to read the chart. Hey, David. That's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.

Is the switch about to flip? Well, gotta go. My liquidation price is.
E
The Lawsuit's close. I'm wondering why I bought this bag.
D
The identity of the person who stole the Lamborghini has been revealed. It was the person who loved Ripple and David Schwartz more than anyone else. It was. Salute. Salute. I meant to bite you sooner, but I've been quacking. Though now that I'm retired, the schedule's pretty easy. I step down from my role. So now I finally have the time to sit in names and letters, grab a drink and just unwind. Look, I appreciate the support. Your memes are great. But you gotta stop decoding every single tweet into a date. There is no magic switch, man. I said it 50 times. The market is utility. It's not in hidden rhyme. The bearable guy is just a fellow dreamer on the wack. We're all enjoying the mysteries and puzzles he creates. And with I post the picture, it's not a secret for the plan. Sometimes the picture of a cat is just a cat, my friend. I read about your girlfriend, sir. I'm sorry that she's bound. You need some mental help, man. You acting quite unsound. And stealing Grist's claw, man, that's a felony offense. You can't be blaming Ripple for your lack of common sense. Yes, is doing well with Ever north this year. Acquisitions help the network making the vision quick and see none and F and now just doesn't correlate. You need to manage risk, man, before it gets too late. I saw this guy on Twitter. Duh. Chase the absolute over leveraged on a room. I'm looking for the moon rod. A stolen Lambo went off a bridge with his bags. Kaboom. Come to think about it, his handle was Salute.
F
Damn.
B
Well, that was X Dash Art the king.
A
I like games. That was really good.
B
That was a lot of work.
A
That was solid.
B
That was a lot of work, man. I swear to you. That was a lot of work. Well, here's another one from XR. This one's. That was quite a bit shorter. XR thinking, what if there was a 589 bill? Look at this one.
A
I think there will be.
B
Look at that.
A
Oh my God. Oh, that's great.
B
It's fantastic. So great. It starts out as a five dollar bill. It's got it. He starts drawing on the face. It turns into Brad Garlinghouse 589.
A
You want to get the song? You guys know how to get it? You go to onthechain IO, we'll sign up over there. Yeah,
B
you get. You'll get it.
A
And then when we send the email at the end. Guess who gets it? That's right.
B
How awesome is that? It's very, very good. It's good stuff, man. It's good. Genius. And David loved it. He loved it.
A
Oh, it's great. It was a great one.
B
He absolutely loved it. And what's not to love? This story is another one. You know, you can do a lot of things and like there's a lot of things going on in the UK right now, but I'll tell you something that you should never, always got a
A
go trip like that.
B
I'll tell you something you should never mess with, Jeff. This is it right here. Because if you mess with this, it's not good. It is not good at all.
A
As long as the Lord. Sorry.
B
Look at this, Jeff, look at this. Tell me if you can. Tell me if you can hear this.
C
It was long politicians.
B
Can you hear it?
A
Yeah.
C
Hate the UK any more than they already do. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has come up with a genius suggestion to help hospitality reduce energy bills. And he's basically advising them to turn off their fridges overnight. Let me talk now to the landlord of the Dog of Wingham, Mark Bridge.
G
Mark,
C
there are certain things you can suggest to the British public, but warm beer, my friend, is not one of them. Unless you are an absolute killjoy and you do not understand what is at the heart of British people, or unless
B
you don't care, you don't give two shits about your people. Oh, that's labor government.
A
Okay, Mark, 99 problems with. That's not one of them.
B
Couldn't put it better myself. Then what's about? This is about as offensive as it gets. Like, you know, I've been speaking to you and your colleagues on GB News for like three years now. We've talked about really, really important stuff. Utility crisis, minimum wage, the ni, the business rates and real issues. This, this is just the most offensive stuff I've heard out of this government. It's the most offensive stuff I've heard. You gotta love it. I mean, why, what are they talking. Are they just. Are they just that detached from reality? Jeff, do you think.
A
Yeah, don't worry about it. Just. Just don't use your refrigeration anymore.
B
I mean, what are they talking about?
A
You're gonna save.
B
And what I love is people just get. My favorite rippler has to be Luke Judges, because he puts out great stuff. But Luke Judges commented on this. He said, if you want to start a civil war in Britain, this would do it.
A
That would do it.
B
Do not Mess the people's beer. Dude, do not mess with the freaking beer, man. I mean, serve. This is the net zero secretary, right? This net zero bs. We're gonna be not zero by the year, so better catch up. When you're a kid's refrigerator's running. Is your refrigerator running? Yes, I think it is. You better catch it funny phone calls.
A
Oh, those are the great. Yeah. Cold beer.
B
He's here.
A
Violate Sharia.
B
That's right, Jimmy D. Unless you're drinking false Foster's beer. I had that cold any beer. You know, if you take any beer and make it like so cold it's almost frozen. Tastes damn good.
A
Yeah, it's impeachment talk. They do.
B
They know that. Yeah, man. You can't mess. You can't mess with someone's beer. Dude, that's like.
A
I'm sorry.
B
He's like. Of all the things I've heard, this is the most offensive. Not moving in migrants, not them getting free housing and destroying neighborhood. That was okay. We're okay with that. But you. Warmer beer. No, we're not playing anymore.
A
It doesn't work.
B
No more playing. We're not doing it. We're not doing it. We're not going to put up with this crap. As we segue over to politics over there on True Social. Look at this. Read that.
A
For all the fake news out there, you just remember it's called the Save America act, not the SAVE Act. Nobody knows what the SAVE act is, but yet the Democrats want to keep talking about the SAVE Act. Nobody gets. We're not. We're not looking to save pennies. We're talking about the Save America act. And that's it. Period.
B
That's it.
A
Trump had a whole bunch of zingers today that we have to read off. There was one after another. We had a couple other good ones here.
B
Here you go.
A
This one's good. Remember, for all those absolute fools out there, Iran is considered by everyone to be the number one state sponsor of terror. We're rapidly putting them out of business. It amazes me how many people on social media. Oh, my God. And some of these ignorant media types will just keep saying that, you know, somehow we're trying to excuse away the AYATOLLAH and the 47 years of sheer terror that was rained on their population. And somehow, by some miracle, all of a sudden, they're going to believe that government and that Islamo fascist entity that all of a sudden, no, they're not developing nuclear weapons and no, they won't use them. And here, as the as the animal is getting ready, you know, is going down, they're launching whatever they have at all. The neighbor states, they don't care. Indiscriminate, you know, so it's just. It's so crazy. It's so insane.
B
Tim D. Says, save America so our debtors don't go broke and Woke.
A
That's right, C.L. exactly.
B
And then what do you think of
A
that right there, Chip?
B
One more Z. I mean, it's just what killed what. I'm surprised about that. Nobody knows about the 33, 000 people that they killed that were protesting in
A
the streets within two weeks.
B
Shut the Internet down. They slaughtered women. You know, a lot of women died. Over 50 of the women were women. They just killed them openly shot them and torch. Just killed them. Everyone's like, geez, why? They weren't hurting anybody. Like the stuff you hear in the news reports, like. And I even talked to somebody, they go, like, I can't believe that the US Went in there. Really? Where have you been the last 47 years? You haven't been paying attention. And by the way, where do you think all the terrorism originates from?
A
All of it. Almost. Almost all of it was financed by Obama. I mean, by. By Iran. I ran, you know, they. It's amazing, you know, all these years now, here we go. This is. This is quintessential, you know, right here. The Save America act is one of the most important and consequential pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and that should just be a full stop. And America itself. No more rigged elections, voter id, proof of citizenship, no rigged mail in voting. We're the only country in the world that allows us. No men and women's sports, no transgender mutilization of our children. 90% to 99% issues all. Only sick, demented or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against the Save America Act. If they do, each one of these points separately will be used against the user in his or her political campaign for office. A guaranteed loss. Get your senators, Republican or Democrat, to vote yes on the Save America Act. I will never, ever endorse anyone who votes against Save America. Thank you for the attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. And there you go.
B
Well, the thing about it is, I mean, we're supposed to be hearing some voter manipulation coming out of China, and so the five eyes. And if that comes out, he can write an executive order, but apparently we're still getting word that they think it's going to be done in April. It's going to get passed. So I don't know what kind of concessions they're making to try to pass it. I don't see. Well, that's the crypto bill, that's the clarity bill. They're saying that's going to pass. But I don't know if the concessions are going. I don't see anybody budging on this. But, you know, if you're from a state, if you're a Republican, a Democrat pretending you're a Republican and you're from Alaska and Trump won by 21 points, but somehow you get elected, then we know the fraud is in. And you, you know, and even Fetterman who every once in a while has to take one for the team. Fetterman saying, oh, I think everyone believes in showing an id, but the argument that was given by Fetterman was, okay, but what, how are you going to stop mail in ballots? Well, the mail in ballots are worse. So you got people going in that shouldn't be voting. Then you get a shipment of 300,0002 days after the election and they're counting them. I'm sorry. Yeah, no one's against absentee ballots. On absentee ballot is like, look, I'm going to be in, you know, I got to be in the UK and I'm not going to be out of the states or I'm going to be in Australia and I'm going to go in and show my ID and show that I am who I say, are you going to mail me a ballot? I'm going to send it in. That's different than the mail in ballots where you can just go print them. Supposedly the what's been, you know, alleged is that like in Arizona, they detected that they didn't have the watermark on the paper. It was different printers, it was different paper. So basically illegal. They printed up ballots. They all, you know, how about when they showed them all in Arizona, they all had the same writing, Thousands same, right?
A
Oh, yeah. Say same address for a lot of the registered voters. But then they also had the truck coming from New York to Pennsylvania. There's all these, all these incidents of corruption. And we know the fact that all that stuff took place in Michigan, Detroit. And I know because my friend was right there, called me. He was there with their group. They went to watch to make sure the count was being done the right way. And he said, you're not going to believe this, but they're blocking us from going in to the, you know, that's, it was downtown and they're Putting pizza. And we saw it live on the, on the news. He said, they're putting pizza boxes up. And he goes, we're down here. They won't let us in. And even when they did, before they kicked him out of the room, they wouldn't even let him close. So there was no visual to what was right.
B
You couldn't get within 20ft.
A
And I mean, it was such a
B
Crockett about the three counties in 2020 that over 100 voting. In a normal election, you're lucky if you get 60 of people to show up that are eligible voters. You're lucky if you get 40 or 50.
A
120 is pretty normal.
B
And everyone's like, I guess there's nothing to see here.
A
Yeah, Nothing. They hit 20 more.
B
Read this one.
A
This is voters. This guy's. This is solid. I'm gonna, I'll tell you what, even go through and dissect this. If we could put in the opposing, you know, the views that are out there, people that are critiquing President Trump, that used to be maga, this guy used to support Bernie Sanders, if you can believe this. And when you start reading through his commentary, even, even he's shocked. He's like, I can't believe I used to support this nonsense. And, and the stuff that he's saying. But people that are commenting on this stuff are so wrong. They're so naive, they're so misinformed, they're so uneducated. It. It just, it boggles the mind on how they come up with their opinions. I mean, you know, I guess people love Islamo fascism and I guess that's, hey, you know, teach his own. But, you know, to, to look at what's happening in Iran two weeks in to see what has been done is amazing to me. You know, from a, you know, just a military strategic perspective, what's been done over there. And you know, the Iranian people, they have an opportunity to take it back, you know, and it's, it's going to be amazing. So. That's right.
B
I love, I love those.
A
I haven't seen those. Oh, the. Oh, Trump pointing. It used to be Biden.
B
I've seen the Bible. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Well, they don't have an original idea, so they got to steal stuff. Oh, we'll do a Trump. It'll be funny.
A
Yeah. What is that?
B
Oh, by the way, we don't get any oil from Iraq. So these people, Jack, it's like when it's Jeff, like when a hurricane comes, they say, you know, the governor says you cannot you know, jack up the price. What are the first thing they do? Oh, water. It's $8 for a bottle of water. It's $22 for a bottle of water. Nothing's changed. The same water's in there. I mean, but they always take advantage. Go ahead, take this one. Jeff, read this.
A
So this one's good. So he says. So let me get this straight. The war with Iran, the regime, not the people, has been going on for two weeks now, Just two weeks. In that time, the regime leadership has been completely decimated. Missile production has been destroyed. Missiles fired from the regime have dwindled, declining daily. Their navy obliterated. Their infrastructure of oppression is being bombed to hell. The forces on the ground now run away when they hear the sound of drones. This high pressure chipping away of a militarily sophisticated enemy is unprecedented in its speed, scope, and precision. It's almost unbelievable. But Randall's online political commentators, even leaders who should know better brainlessly say things like, they're losing. They don't have a plan. Amer is now stuck in war, can't escape. This is Israel's war. This is illegal. This is a forever war. It's generally one of the most moments I've ever lived through. It's like people have either shut off their brains or they're acting maliciously. I'm still figuring out which it is before our very eyes. We're seeing one of the most consequential moments of modern history. And. And it is, you know, just hands down, you know, to that point, we're witnessing the exorcism of a demonic Islamic regime that has brutalized Iranians, destabilize the Middle east for years. An enemy that believes the world needs to be in chaos and for their Mahdi to appear. Lunatics that want to see the world subdued. A world without this threat is a better world for everyone. American Israel will pull this off and reap all the rewards, while the brainless European leaders who did nothing will become even more irrelevant on the world stage. And I'll put that, you know, for the same. Those here in the US that have. That are enriching themselves off of this, you know, they, you know, the quote, unquote, they used to be maga, but they're not. They're coming after maga, they're coming after Trump. They're really. They're not part of the conservative movement. I don't know what kind of insanity. They're doing it for their own pocketbook. They're making money off of it and enriching themselves off of taking this chaos and spreading misinformation and deception. But it's, it's amazing to me, you know, and so this, this guy, again, was a Bernie Sanders supporter originally, and he's come so far. So far. And, and he sees it, right? He saw, he sees the writing on the wall. I don't know exactly what country or what state he's in, but it's amazing.
B
I don't know.
A
I mean, he might be here. He's. Yeah, he's. He's somewhere in the. I don't know where.
B
I don't know where in the U.S. it's insane, though. But I mean, this guy, like, he kind of called it out, too. Like, this is the funny thing. You remember all the propaganda from last year with, with the Ukraine war. Russia is running out of. Of ammunition.
A
Jim, where, where, where is Jim getting his information? He's. I. The war is not really going on as well as it's being told. Are you kidding? Are you kidding? How many people from the region are you talking to? Other than. Other than reading it on, on YouTube?
B
Yeah,
A
I mean, it's, it's this. Strategically, this is. It can be won. It is being won. And, and it's. That's it. You know, I don't know. I don't know why everyone's so negative on this. You know, this. Hey, kids, come to a head, it's either sit back and keep kicking the can down the road until eventually they figure out how to arm themselves with nuclear weapons they've been destabilizing. That's great. You're deeply studied. Go talk to people over in that region. You can study books as much as you want. You know, start learning from people from that region, and you. Your perspective will shift dramatically. That's all I'm saying. You know, before you did, read it out of books, watch it on YouTube, read it off X, have conversations with people in the region, any other countries, and, and then start realizing what a destabilizing factor Iran is. And it's the first time the entire region is finally at the point where they're like, you know, they've had enough, and that's it. You know, that's it. Yes. I'm not saying study until you have the same perspective. I'm saying go and talk to people in the region and that's how you're going to get your perspective on it. That's it. Or go there. Go.
B
It's all the propaganda out there. It's like, oh, it can't be one. It's two weeks in and they're like the forever war. And then there's boots on the ground. You don't need boots on the ground. You got people. You have, you have the Kurds are fighting on the ground. You don't need any boots on the ground. That's the part that kills me the most is like people are like boots on the ground. They're putting boots on the ground. They're not. And by the way, we've got drones now. We don't need to put boots on the ground. You fly off the coast and go fly these really sophisticated, you know, and if you remember of you, we saw the footage from the Ukraine, the Ukrainians were using it, that the Russian soldiers need boots on the ground anymore. And we have weapons. People when we talk about weapons, they don't even know what they are. How do you think we went on the Venezuela. I mean, don't, don't f. With the, with the, with the armed forces of the United States. That's the bottom line. Do not even try. It's not even worth it. But you know, it's so funny, Jeff, you mentioned the, the fake maga. I was maga. And meanwhile you dig further in their thing. It was just Democrats. They're bots, they're whatever it would be. And it's funny because this is something you wouldn't normally think you'd see on cnn, but CNN did a MAGA poll and very infrequently, I don't think I've ever seen that poll this high ever. Look at this. You know, sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you. And this is one of those because just take a look here. MAGA GOP view of Trump approve 100%. 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump, 0% say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than 100%. He is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. He's the 1972 Miami Dolphins undefeated. I mean CNN, CNN is, is crazy, Jeff. And you know what's happening as a result is with, with the European so called allies. So called allies. Right. They're not actual allies. But look at this. Mark Root from the, look at, listen what he has to say about this to the European leaders.
F
President Trump is doing good stuff. I will praise him and I don't mind him publishing text messages. And if anyone thinks here Again, that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US Keep on dreaming. You can't. We can't. We need each other. And why do we need each other? I tell you, first of all because also the US Needs NATO. And US is not only a NATO to prevent a mistake after the second, after the first World War, not to reengage with Europe. And then again the long arm of history reaching out to the US again in the second World War, as Churchill famously said in his speech in 1941 in the US Congress, they are also in NATO because for the US to stay safe, and by the way, Arctic region is evidence here, they need a secure Arctic, they need to secure Euro Atlantic and they also need to secure Europe. So the US has every interest in NATO as much as Canada and the European NATO, NATO, allies. But for Europe, if you really want to go it alone, and those of you who are planning for that, forget that you can never get there with 5%. It will be 10%. You have to build up your own nuclear capability. That costs billions and billions of years. You will lose then in that scenario, you would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom, which is the U. S. Nuclear umbrella. So, hey, good luck.
B
And they're all looking at them like a bunch of left. This is why leftism is a. It's, it's just, it's like, eat your brain. It's like these people are dumbest people ever. They're, they're all sitting there like this stoic. I wonder what he's talking about. I think he's talking about our country, right?
A
I like these comments. NATO.
B
Here's Jim might be talking about this though. Trump says we need help in the Straits of Hermuz, right? We need help. So what does he do? He baits three countries that know aren't showing up. Who are those countries? China, France and Japan. Then you guys depend on the oil from this region. Send ships. Now he knows they're not going to send them, but he's baiting them. He's testing them. Now other people are like, why isn't he asking the European. I, I got this the other day. I had, I had, I had an attempt to talk to somebody on the left. I can't believe he's asking these other countries because they're in trouble. The US Is losing. They can't open the Straits of Her muse. I'm like, dumbass, he's baiting these countries. That's what he does. He's gonna bait them and embarrass the out of them. Wait. Oh, wait, wait. You said you wanted to help. You said you were interested in the oil. Oh, I'm sorry. And guess what. And guess who the first. Want to hear this? Want to see the white flag. Surrender. Here it is. Macron, right here. We are not a party to the
G
conflict, and therefore France will never take
B
part in operations to reopen or liberate
G
the Strait of Hormuz.
B
In the current context, this is about the only thing France has been good at for 400 years is waving that white flag. Just Google French victories. You'll see a giant white flag. You want to see a more useless nation? You got a guy who, who buried his teacher, who's a man. I mean, this is out of control, man. This is insane. 28 years older than him. It was. She was.
A
Yeah.
B
Messing around with him when he's in grade school. This is. It's so. It's so awkward, man. This stuff. I don't know.
A
It's very awkward. But NATO, to that point, we've been financially supporting NATO for the greatest extent. We've been supporting the United nations for the greatest. You know, for the most part, at some point you have to say, hey, what's going on in the region? That all these pieces that were being moved around, it's. It's so amazing because as people are so hyper focused on one thing. Look at how China is now struggling from a, from, from a resource perspective. You know, they relied heavily on oil from Iran, and now, you know, they have a definite issue. Venezuela not sending oil. Look, with Cuba, too. Cuba's being strangled on, On. On oil. These different regions. No one's even thinking about North Korea right now. I don't know what's gonna happen with North Korea, but you start taking down some of these big players. North Korea's not saying someone needs to invade them, but that's got to end as well. We got to get rid of these types of totalitarian regimes. They just destabilize regions. But Cuba is on notice. And it's amazing because every. This happened in such a fast period of time, and there's so many pieces that are, that are in play right now. I don't understand. You know, people just don't see all these other pieces that are moving around the board while they're all focused on one thing.
B
Cuba announced perestroika, which means there's. They're so rit. They're so hurting financially that they've opened it up and said, anybody who's in exile, anybody who's Former Cuban can come back and come into the country, can now have their businesses back. Can, can buy businesses. This is how strapped they are. And that's why they're communicating with the U.S. they saw what happened in Venezuela and they saw, they, they don't have an army so they can go in and grab them tomorrow night. You just got to set up a government. But you saw that the, the Lieutenant Governor of Venezuela is not cooperating. Anything you want. Yep. Because they know what's going to happen. They, they can. This is an. Iran was given so many opportunities and they had all of those weapons pointed. And then you had that guy we talked about New Jersey, that he was hired by Iran to take out the President. They try to kill him twice. Oh, it's not national security. I don't know why we're going in there. Nobody knows. Nobody knows why we're going in there. The biggest sponsor of state terror. Then all of a sudden on three days in a row, we had nothing but shootings and killings over here. From where? More terrorism from Iran. Okay, so like people pretending like they don't know. You know what else is great? I love this story too, Jeff. The UN is running out of money. You want to know why? Because the US funds most of it and the other members, the members are not paying.
H
The Secretary General has, as you know, repeatedly made clear the, the problem both of non payment of Jews by member states and the. The related problem of the UN being forced to repay member states for budget expenses that it does not. That it budget money that it does not spend. And so those two factors have put us on an unsustainable trajectory. Although more than 150 member states paid their dues last year, we ended 2025 with a record $1.56 billion in outstanding dues, which is more than double that of the previous year. So unless either the payments come in or we're not compelled to spend to return the money, the monies that we are not able to spend because we didn't receive, because we didn't receive funding the budget. Unless one of those two things happen, we face a real danger of running
B
out of best thing. And they could put up some beautiful hotels over there. That's probably the best thing they could do. Put up some kind of a.
A
That'd be really nice. I like that.
B
Yeah, it's just crazy. Is that a chick really having a tough time? Why are you returning money? I mean this is the greatest thing is like why are you returning money to the so called states? So Governor Pritzker you know, big boy over here is like, he was talking about Project 2029. If the Democrats get in, this is what he thinks, what he wants to happen.
C
Project 2029 agenda look like for you?
I
I don't think you can speak of it in. In shorthand, but I'll just say a couple of things that I think are absolutely necessary. One is we've got to restore the rule of law. And that means holding people accountable who've broken the law and talking about, in this administration, when we get a new one, the people in this administration who broken the law, what law, and federal agents who've broken the law need to be held accountable.
A
And that means they just say criminally
I
prosecuted, civilly, prosecut, you know, whatever it is that we can do.
D
Right.
I
It may be that you can't criminally prosecute somebody, but that you can go civilly.
B
He's saying he. He even says at the end that you can't. Even if you can't, which he knows you can because they didn't break any laws.
I
It may be that you can't criminally prosecute somebody.
B
Right.
I
But you can go after them civilly, but you can't.
G
What is a.
C
You can file a 2029.
A
The guy's such a lying piece of garbage. Well, you know, the way. The way he manipulates, you know, people that, you know, don't know, they're like, oh, well, they can go after them civilly. That means they did something wrong. No, these guys are just gonna load up the lawsuits and come after them civilly, regardless if they did, you know, completely innocent, they're coming after them. That's what they're saying.
B
It's exactly.
A
It's such a. Just round these people up and just ship them somewhere else in the world.
B
Yeah. So here's a. Here's a girl who has finally had it, Jeff, and she's going to tell us why. With the Democrat Party. Listen to this for sure.
G
I'm officially coming out as a Republican. The left has truly swayed me over to the right, and I think they're proud of it, too, because all of this stupid controversy going on because of a comment that I made on a TikTok video. The left mob is absolutely losing its mind.
B
Yes.
G
And I used to be on the left. Yeah, I used to be gung ho lgbt. I was an activist for the LGBT
A
people before paid activists.
G
They like gays, even had a legal right to marry. I was going out and I was a Glenson representative in my school district. But at this point, I don't want to be associated with the LGBT either, despite even being gay, because I can't
B
stand the best somebody who's gay, who is an LGBT that doesn't want nothing to do with lgbt.
A
Right?
B
So what? Anything to do with the Democrat because she put a tick tock video and they came after her. They could just disagree with her, but they called her all kinds of stuff on her TikTok video and stuff. And she's like, imagine this girl's had it, she's done and y' all anymore.
G
Like, I. I make one comment about a grieving mother who was very respectful about how they were referring to their trans child, by the way, they were referring to them as both Michael and Lexi. And in the comments of people that actually knew her child were referring to her child as Michael. And she was shit on in the comments for referring to her child as her son. Because the left, the trans mob, will never accept that they can't let a woman who is taking responsibility for not being a president of mother, for not loving her child enough, for who is trying to be a better person and being vulnerable in her grief journey, it's still not good enough. So they have to shit all over her and kick someone when they're down. Right? Because that's the righteous thing to do if you're part of the trans mob. Insane, like liberal left. So I make a comment just basically supporting the moment, saying, you have every right to refer to your child as your son. Apparently, that's the worst thing you could ever possibly do as a human being. Because I have people coming onto my page, screenshotting my tiktoks to shit on my appearance and put it in the comments there. Meanwhile, they look identical to me. They're just white liberal women just flooding the TikTok that they look like me, like basic white girls. But they're gonna on my appearance because I said one thing that they disagreed with.
A
So crazy.
G
It just, it's like, tell me you're mentally ill without telling me you're mentally ill. Like, they're advertising it online.
B
Of course they are.
G
And then just the bullying, like, coming to my page when you don't know me because I made a comment on someone's TikTok that you don't know them either. Coming to my page to find videos of me grieving my dead mom for you to go, you know, talk about him and just misgendering my mom to try to offend me. Like, I don't get offended by pronouns and little tiny words like, she her, he, it, they like you do. And the fact that you would even go to like my page to on my dead mom, like, hello, is, are you, is this you trying to convince me to get to your side on the left to be pro trans? I was never anti trans. And anyone that knows me knows this. I've never been shitty to any of the trans people.
B
Doesn't matter. You cross the line and you're gonna pay dearly for it.
A
Oh, yeah. It's how it works.
B
You know, I saw a video today, Jeff, that I just like, I, I, I really like, I had to take a step back right here, say to myself, is this real? Like, I, I, I was like, is this AI? Like, I couldn't, I'm like, it can't, it can't be real. It's too weird to be real. Like, it can't. I was thinking to myself, it just cannot, it cannot be real. But I was like, it's hard to, it's hard to tell anymore. I mean, it's, there's such weird stuff going on. It's like, it's possible to know if, if it's it, if it's real. Then I started thinking, well, maybe it is real. But then I'm not sure. But, you know, who knows?
A
They wake up when they finally wake up. Like Mark says, Troy, his friend still has a Trump 2016 sticker on his cars because Dems still haven't accepted the results of the election. Yeah, well, somebody, they are starting to jump ship.
B
It's not to make fun of these people, but it's just like when they're, when they start talking and what they're talking about and then their appearance and I was just like, what? I was like, I don't know. I mean, I thought maybe it's AI. I mean, it doesn't seem to be AI, but who knows? Look, I was playing, I'll play a bit of it, Jeff. And it's just, it's so weird. I don't know. What's that?
A
What are you talking about?
B
These two girls, I'm gonna talk about this some video. These two girls, they just. I don't know if it's AI or if it's real, but maybe it's just.
G
Listen, this, I'm Jesse Bunny. I'm 24 years old.
B
I'm Vienna.
G
I'm 25 years old. And we're gonna have a baby really soon. We are a couple since almost eight years already. So it's like a youth's life. I would say that's our nursery Please ignore the pole dance pole. I was 17 when we met, so there was not a lot of dating before. Cassie's my first girlfriend, and Hope the last.
E
Aww.
G
We met with our. We both have been flat. Vienna was not transitioned to this time, and I had a double A cup. He's baby number one. I figured out during COVID that I am trans. One day Vienna said, like, hey, she's not feeling happy. And then she came out as trans. And then everything went really quick. In half a year, you've been a completely new person.
B
And I don't know, Jeff. I really don't know anymore.
A
I'm like, that is. It's too much. It's too much. These people are mentally ill.
B
It cannot be real. Right?
A
If it is real, they're definitely. They. These guys. They shouldn't be interviewing them.
B
I mean, there's something. It just seems like it's something, so. It's so bizarro, man. I don't know. Rupert Low, who is Restored Britain. Just eat dinner. Well, I'm sorry about that. Took it. Rupert Lowe. There's. Is that his name? Low. Rupert.
A
Anyway, we've become the Jerry Springer Show. Oh, yeah.
B
We have been. I. I just see this stuff and I'm like, what is it? But there is a chance there is a shot for Britain. Maybe. I. I was inspired by this video,
J
but I can assure people, I know what they. I know they want change. I know we've got to do it by 29, and. And my intention is to try. Try and give people the best opportunity to vote for something fresh, something that is outside the establishment, which is what reform used to be.
B
I mean, come on, Jeff. I had a cute little squirrel in it. How can this not be a great, inspiring video? Anytime you see a squirrel, fantastic.

A little squirrel idea sandwich, which is what reform used to be. There is simply no other way. This is the only choice. That is why today I am launching Restore Britain as a national political party. The first priority is to control who comes to our country and more importantly, who stays in our country. Restore Britain will not just stop mass immigration, we will reverse it.
B
By the way, do you recognize the song in the background, Jeff?
A
No.
B
It's the final countdown.
A
Always. Oh, my God. Good.
B
Yeah, Listen.
A
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's great. We need a epic comeback.
J
Restore Britain will make our communities safe again for women and children. If that means millions go, then millions
D
go
J
to the young white men who feel ignored and insulted. I want to speak directly to you. You are not the problem. The system is the problem. The cancer of dei, along with the Blairite legacy must be erected, eradicated. We have advanced the discourse on what that word Britain actually means. Not an idea or an administrative identity, not a piece of paper, but a people. We are the bearers of the greatest civilization this world has ever known. I make no apologies for saying this. Millions must go.
B
She has. Sounds an awful lot like Trump, doesn't it, Jeff? I'm just saying.
A
I mean, Sarah John is saying that peasant guy is the essence of the once Great Britain. Hope they'll trash the system. Elon will help. I think he's there to financially support it.
B
He said he absolutely will.
A
So something's got to be done. They're. They're at a point. Something's got to get. They gotta change. Whatever direction they're going down is definitely not the right direction.
B
This is what I love, Jeff.
A
It's a disaster.
B
I've never. I would have imagined that yes, government accounts would put this stuff out. Homeland Security official account said, let's get you home. Take advantage of the historic CBP home deal that we're offering the illegal aliens. A 2600 exit, a free flight. So they did these? They did. Look at the end of this series of travel posters.
A
Years.
B
That's fly to Somalia.
A
You want to go.
B
Fly home to Pakistan, fly to Honduras for free. God, you gotta just love that, Jeff. It really is. Oh, man, it really is fantastic. And to some of the Babylon B here, look at this right here. Kim Jong Un wins over populace with his charisma, experience, and ability to shoot you in the face if you don't vote for him. In the face. It's St. Patrick's Day, and it turns out that The Ghost of St Patrick returns to drive Rosie O' Donnell out of Ireland.
A
Is she in Ireland or did. I thought they kicked her out already.
B
I don't think they did. And in Republican news, the Republicans announced a plan to keep doing the opposite of what everyone voted for them to do because they're feckless loser jerks. That Thune needs his head smashed in. Someone needs to punch him right in the face. Come on, Thune, you gotta do it. You gots to do it, man. Thune
A
guys do everything. Everything possible. Oh, yeah. I just once said Rubio took her U.S. citizenship.
B
He did.
A
When she left for good with the
B
shimmers shouting Jim Crow 2.0. I'll be an escort out of Costco for not having a membership card. That's funny, dude.
A
Oh, my God.
B
Now. Now they're joking that the. The new AYATOLLAH is gay.
A
No, he put that one up.
B
Cardboard cutout. This is Ayatollah disappointed to learn the 72 virgins awaiting him in paradise are all women. That's so funny. The New York Times retracts the story due to several accuracies. And an Oscar news. Sinners wins Oscar for the crappiest movie to win an Oscar. By the way, did you see the DEI requirements? All the things you have to have in the movie? They. Some people went back to classic movies like the Godfather that won the Oscar and said the Godfather wouldn't have qualified for Best Picture with this new set of rules. So it's just getting ridiculous.
A
Let the art stand for itself a
B
hundred percent, and
A
we really probably don't need it anymore. I didn't even know any of the movies, did you? Who watches movies anymore? I don't know, even see a movie.
B
I just watch whatever's on. I thought this was funny. Jeff and I don't.
A
We don't.
B
We don't. We haven't talked about football news, American football. But look at this. Breaking the new millionaire tax on anyone making over a million dollars in the state of Washington will cause players to not want to sign with the team. Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the tax would impose an additional 10 tax on earnings over 1 million a year.
A
An additional 10.
B
So when they tax your first million, but you get an extra 10. So if you have 10 million dollar contract, you basically lose a million. You're screwed. 11 million dollar 20 million dollar contract, you lose $2 million. I'm like, just the taxes. And when they played the super bowl, when they went out there to. They're having it in California next year. The stipend that they give you to go play in that game costs you more to go play in that game than you actually make. So it's a. It's a ridiculous sort of a.
A
Sort of amazing. It's amazing.
B
Anyway, guys, we gotta get out of here. On the next Saturday. Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. One day only on Saturday. Sunday. That's all we have, guys. We'll see you soon.
A
Washing flight out. We're gone. So it's a washing flight.
B
Didn't work. Ready?
A
Try it again.
B
Let's go.

Are you down with otc?

Hosts: Jeff & Chip
Podcast Description: Blockchain and Digital Assets, Cryptocurrency news, and opinion with a focus on XRP.
This episode digs into the possibility that the global financial system is subtly restructuring itself around the XRP blockchain. Jeff and Chip evaluate industry trends, regulatory news, Ripple’s international expansion (especially in Brazil), and discuss the impact of institutional-level crypto products like ETFs on mainstream adoption. While focusing on XRP, the show’s tone remains both analytical and irreverent, mixing insights with community banter and humor.
Quote:
“Ripple is expanding its global payment infrastructure. That’s right. Institutions are gaining new access to digital assets through regulated products and networks like Flare.”
— Jeff (00:15)
Quote:
“A potential XRP ETF opens the door to entirely new groups of investors. This is just the beginning.”
— Ray Sharif-Askari, Grayscale (03:14)
Quote:
“Only Congress can make the rules. Remember Chevron?”
— Chip (15:13)
Quote:
“Ripple’s fortunate to have a massive fund, a nest egg that they’re sitting on that allows them to continue development. Algorand just might not have that.”
— Jeff (17:19)
Quote:
“This is absolute genius… If anyone connected to this is ever in the San Francisco area, please let me know.”
— David Schwartz, responding to the parody (21:59, relayed by Chip)
Recurring Tone: The podcast interweaves crypto analysis with current events, pop culture, humor, and rants about bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Examples:
Quote:
“I don't know why everyone's so negative on this... Yes, I'm not saying study until you have the same perspective. I'm saying go and talk to people in the region and that's how you're going to get your perspective on it.”
— Jeff (42:00–43:15)
Classic XRP Community Parody:
“Lawsuit’s closed, I'm wondering why I bought this bag at all. Escrow drops another billion and the price begins to fall…”
— (Parody song, 18:55–25:45)
Ray Sharif-Askari (Grayscale):
“To me, the on chain economy represents the growing set of applications, assets, and activity that operate natively on blockchains instead of in traditional infrastructure.”
— (05:31)
On Regulatory Arbitrariness:
“That was basically what the Supreme Court ruled on. But they said they issued an interpretation. Okay, well, please cite, please do cite the law that this is interpreted from. Because I want to see that.”
— Chip (13:09)
On Meme Culture:
“I even got a tattoo of you with Brad on my chest. I told my boss to fire me and said the coin is blessed.”
— Parody Song (21:00)

Ripple is quietly but aggressively building the rails of a new global payment infrastructure, with XRP increasingly central and institutional access accelerating via new products (like ETFs). Despite headline noise and regulatory confusion, the technical, legal, and cultural groundwork is being laid for XRP’s role in the future financial system. The hosts remain bullish but self-aware, often lampooning both overhype and bureaucratic bungling—making for an episode that’s both informative and uniquely entertaining.
