• Release Date: August 14, 2025

Introduction The episode opens with hosts Jeff and Chip setting the stage for an in-depth discussion about XRP’s potential breakthrough in the cryptocurrency market. Jeff emphasizes the significant developments Ripple has made and anticipates that Ripple’s next moves could have profound implications for the blockchain and financial sectors. The conversation is lively and infused with casual banter, providing a personable touch before delving into the core topics.

XRP’s Potential Breakthrough Jeff initiates the discussion by highlighting the community's excitement around XRP, stating, "XRP's moment is finally here, the big break." He suggests that Ripple's latest strategies might "send shock waves through the market," pointing to advancements in payment technology and global adoption as key factors fueling this optimism.

Technical Innovations of XRPL A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the Ripple XRP Ledger (XRPL) and its recent upgrades. Chip introduces the topic of batch transactions, explaining their role in enhancing XRPL's performance:

• Batch Transactions: Chip explains that "batch transactions are now available," allowing up to eight transactions to be bundled together. This "boosts overall ledger throughput beyond its baseline" without compromising speed or efficiency.
• Performance Metrics: Jeff underscores the scalability improvements, noting that XRPL can handle "8 to 120,000 transactions per second," though Chip corrects it to around "14,000 transactions per second." This scalability positions XRPL favorably against other blockchain networks facing bottlenecks due to high transaction volumes.

The hosts reference Mayuka’s comments on the importance of performance testing, affirming that these enhancements make XRPL a robust and efficient platform for complex financial operations.

Comparison with Ethereum The discussion transitions to comparing XRP with Ethereum, particularly focusing on smart contracts and market capitalization:

• Smart Contracts: Jeff laments that XRP "dropped the ball" on smart contracts, which have been a cornerstone for Ethereum's ecosystem. He muses, "If XRP had focused more on smart contracts, it might have built a more extensive ecosystem similar to Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens."
• Market Cap Dynamics: Chip debates the prospects of XRP surpassing Ethereum in market capitalization. He states, "Late last year and early this year looked like XRP was on track to flip Ethereum," but reassesses, acknowledging that Ethereum's resilience and recent performance have shifted the dynamics. He suggests that for XRP to overtake Ethereum, it would need to reach over "$10 per XRP," which he deems "unlikely" in the current market landscape.

Ripple’s Corporate Strategies and Patent Portfolio Jeff and Chip delve into Ripple's strategic maneuvers and intellectual property assets:

• Patent Portfolio: They discuss a study analyzing Ripple’s extensive patent portfolio, highlighting its role in "technological innovation and relationship to corporate strategy in the blockchain market." Chip summarizes the study, noting that "Ripple's extensive patent portfolio, strategic acquisitions, ISO 222 compliance, and improving regulatory clarity position it to be a cornerstone of the next generation of global payments infrastructure."
• Enterprise Adoption: The hosts emphasize Ripple’s focus on enterprise adoption, with Ripple USD (a stablecoin) being designed for "enterprise-grade use and regulatory compliance." This focus aligns with Ripple's broader strategy to integrate programmable money and stablecoins into banking systems, enhancing relevance and competitiveness in the financial sector.

Geopolitical Impacts and Regulatory Environment The conversation shifts to the broader geopolitical and regulatory context affecting Ripple and XRP:

• Regulatory Clarity: Jeff references the U.S. passage of the "Securities Exchange Act," which "lays down the law of the land" for stablecoins, providing a regulatory framework that benefits Ripple’s initiatives.
• Cross-Border Payments Innovation: Connecting back to Ripple’s core mission, Chip notes that "Ripple is leading the way in driving cross-border payments innovation," leveraging technologies like tokenization and smart contracts to "unlock liquidity and fractional ownership, increased accessibility, transparency, and efficiency across commodities, bonds, ETFs."

Community and Market Sentiment Throughout the episode, Jeff and Chip acknowledge the vibrant and buzzing XRP community. They discuss market sentiment, referencing chart analysts and "moon boys" who are bullish on XRP's potential despite current market conditions. Chip critically addresses pessimistic voices, advocating for a balanced view and highlighting the resilience of both XRP and Ethereum in the competitive landscape.

Challenges and Future Outlook Despite the optimistic projections, the hosts candidly discuss the challenges Ripple and XRP face:

• Scalability and Security: While praising the recent performance upgrades, they also caution about maintaining "scaling security and cost-effective payments" as the network continues to grow.
• Competition with Ethereum: The entrenched position of Ethereum in the smart contracts arena and its vast ecosystem pose significant competition. Jeff suggests that XRP needs to innovate further to bridge gaps in its functionality and ecosystem support.
• Market Adoption: The ultimate success of Ripple and XRP hinges on widespread adoption by financial institutions and seamless integration into existing payment infrastructures. Jeff underscores the necessity for Ripple to "continue driving enterprise adoption to stay relevant."

Conclusion The episode concludes with a recap of XRP’s promising advancements and the potential for Ripple to reshape global payments. Jeff and Chip express cautious optimism, recognizing that while significant hurdles remain, Ripple's strategic initiatives and technological innovations position it well for future growth. They encourage listeners to stay informed and engaged with Ripple's developments, highlighting that the next moves by Ripple could indeed "shock everyone" and mark a pivotal moment for XRP in the cryptocurrency landscape.

Transcript

[Jeff]

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 world, on the chain community is this. XRP's moment is XRP's moment. Finally here, the big break. Ripple's latest move could send shock waves through the market. And we've got, I'm gonna say it. The inside scoop. Maybe not. From breakthrough payment tech and global adoption to political battle shaping the financial future, the stage is set for something big, Chip. Really, really big. We're going to break it down. XRP's potential price leap and what's been holding it back. Ripple's bold global plays and payments and tokenization because they don't need XRP any longer. The political and economic moves that could change everything. Heated debates. Who's really on the side of freedom? I really want to know because not everybody loves freedom. Not everybody loves this country. But one thing that is known, the XRP community is buzzing. The stakes are massive. And this could be the turning point everybody's been waiting for. So buckle up and let's dive in.

[Chip]

That's it. Thank you. Good night.

[Jeff]

Good night.

[Chip]

Welcome to on the Chain Drop. Where you're coming in from, everybody. Jeff, good to have you back. It's been a long time. Jeff, welcome back. Greetings. Welcome back. This is Art Lake. Jeff, I feel alt season is here. Yeah, I saw some. It's interesting because I saw a couple different people posting stuff saying that, yeah, the alts are gonna go a lot higher and I definitely think it will. So missed you last time, dude. Last time I got. It was over a week and a half. It's been a week and a half. I was carrying the show and then last Wednesday I just got caught not doing this show only because it was too a great day in St. Augustine. Augustine, that's great.

[Jeff]

That's from Amherst, New York.

[Chip]

I know Amherst, New York very well. That's where my. That's where my niece lives in Amherst. Of course. I grew up in. I grew up in North Tonawanda, New York. So it's my hometown. I grew up and then I left and I never went back. That's it. That was another song about. And I have a song about it, my new album that I'm getting ready to release. So that's.

[Jeff]

Can't wait to hear it.

[Chip]

Yeah, it's. It's 99 there. It's almost there. Amherst. Yeah, I know Amherst really well, Beth. Wow.

[Jeff]

Already recovered from jet lag. That's how we do It. We travel.

[Chip]

Are you. Are you recovering, Jeff? No, I don't think you sleep last night?

[Jeff]

Two hours last night.

[Chip]

Okay. He's not recovered.

[Jeff]

You know what happened? Five o'. Clock. It was like five o'. Clock. I was working on some stuff and I said, you know what? I gotta lie down. So I lie down for like 45 minutes and. Got it. Then I'm. Bam. There you go.

[Chip]

F hath return. You see that, Jeff? Kef hath returned. If you've been around long enough, you understand what kef is. You understand? And what's my name? Joe.

[Jeff]

Pumped up on badass yeti. Simon.

[Chip]

Simon and calf. I was like, hello, Simon. Simon.

[Jeff]

Yes. It's an easy one because coffee.

[Chip]

That's right back. That's right. Kev, man, he's there. I understand, cap, because the J is right next to the K key. I don't get Simon. Simon's a complete.

[Jeff]

You know, got an S is almost near the C and the I near the hill. Know how it goes.

[Chip]

So one thing that Jeff was sharing with me, he did a, you know, video call, and he was like, you guys, I'll tell you a story about musicians. There's a music musicians are always dying for, like, the latest, coolest gadgets. Tools, guitars, bases, whatever. The late, you know, whatever kind of model it is. $4,000 guitar. 5,000 guitar. But it's always some dude that doesn't even know how to play the guitar, has all the good equipment. Everybody always ends up at his house playing all that stuff because he's not really into the equip. He's into it. He's got money and buys a guitar, doesn't know how to play it. So he invites a bunch of musicians over his house and they play his stuff. Everybody leaves depressed because they had to go back and play their own junkie instruments. Right. It's kind of how it always was. Well, funny I should tell that story because it's always the guy who doesn't have a deep appreciation that ends up staying in the coolest place in. I don't want to give too much of it away, but stays at the coolest possible place in South Korea of all South Korea that this guy would have killed to stay.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I think you would have.

[Chip]

I would have absolutely killed Jeff. I would have.

[Jeff]

Yeah. I do want to play the video because I think you'll really get a kick at it. But I had another video that I wanted to show you.

[Chip]

Put the other one on there. Put to put the first one.

[Jeff]

Trying to find. Trying to find oh. So I'm going to show you. Should I show you the downstairs first and show you the. The table and all of that? Or do you want to do that second?

[Chip]

That's secondary.

[Jeff]

That one secondary.

[Chip]

The other one's primary.

[Jeff]

All right.

[Chip]

For sure.

[Jeff]

So I've got. I've got a couple I'll do. I'm going to start with this one because this kind of, you know, potentially gives it away a little bit. But here we go. Let me just rewind this. I think this is a good place to start right here.

[Chip]

People are wondering what can this possibly be? If you know Jeff and I, you know how we're diametrically opposed on technology. This will show you. That kind of gives it away right there.

[Jeff]

Oh. All right. So here we go. Gotta figure out how fitting it would be to start the tour from the landing quote here.

[Chip]

That looks like Steve Jobs.

[Jeff]

Jeff does, doesn't it? This is.

[Chip]

Looks a lot like Steve Jobs.

[Jeff]

The house. So let's head on to the upstairs.

[Chip]

Look at that bit of interesting. Jeff stays at the freaking Apple Steve Jobs house. My God.

[Jeff]

All the way to the top of this.

[Chip]

Look at that dude.

[Jeff]

Little section here.

[Chip]

Unbelievable. Man. Unbelievable. Oh my God. Look at the wall of Max.

[Jeff]

Wait. Do you see it? Let's move the bugs in the background. More interesting and exciting based on what I think you guys want to see here.

[Chip]

The old imax. Holy cow. Look at this. This is incredible.

[Jeff]

Isn't this amazing?

[Chip]

Jobs quotes everywhere. Little poster cards. It's so funny because it looks like it's like a hundred years old and it's not that old.

[Jeff]

Doesn't it? It's drive there.

[Chip]

Dual floppies with built in. With the built in monitor.

[Jeff]

Monitors. Dual floppy drives. There's a. The three. Look at that external floppy. Man.

[Chip]

That was the external floppy. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Here's the Apple.

[Chip]

I had either that one or this one. The 2C on it.

[Jeff]

Floppy.

[Chip]

Denson still had it.

[Jeff]

Look at that. I want to see the. I guess we can go to the.

[Chip]

Bottom shelf because it had two big imax. That one's weird. I've never seen that imac. That has multiple colors. They were just in.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

Never seen that one before. That must be really.

[Jeff]

That one.

[Chip]

There's the box that was the external.

[Jeff]

But then look at this.

[Chip]

That was the anniversary. That's the 20th. That was the 20th anniversary Mac right there. To see the purple one. I wonder if those are just the cases or they're the guts as well. I think they're the full Steven Wise right there.

[Jeff]

And he does he does rent them out for videos and. And movies and stuff.

[Chip]

The Marshall Stack. More IMAX in there. It's incredible, man. Look at all those imax. I mean, just look at them all. My God. See, I've seen all the colors. I've never seen the one. And then that one all the way to the left is cool too. Had that imac come up here. So much of that stuff.

[Jeff]

Look at this through the shelving. Look at this.

[Chip]

Freaking coolest. Oh, he's got the newer ones up there. Wow, look at that. Check that out, man. I wonder how much money he's got in all these computers. I had that Apple pack. Yep. I had one of those. I remember that one. But I had one of the early notebook MacBooks. Look at how tidy the trackpad is, dude. So funny.

[Jeff]

Thing is doing that tour.

[Chip]

Of the man, just everybody.

[Jeff]

Aaron in the background, he said, what are you doing?

[Chip]

I could tell he wasn't that into it.

[Jeff]

No, no, he was sleeping. I can't interrupted his sleep.

[Chip]

You're giving a guided tour.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

It's a freaking. It's an Apple museum. You stayed in. It's your Airbnb.

[Jeff]

I'll show you the picture from the outside, the upstairs.

[Chip]

This is downstairs. Jeff just got back from South Korea.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Chip]

And he's. He's a. He's a PC guy, he's an Android guy, and he stays in the Apple. The most famous Apple house in South Korea. That was his Airbnb, which is insane, to be honest with you. I mean, it's insanely wild that you stayed in that.

[Jeff]

Oh, here we go.

[Chip]

Unbelievable.

[Jeff]

I had to go this way because it wasn't recording the shelving properly. Here we go. And then from the coffee table, we'll scroll up. I don't know why it's not. I was actually filming it sideways. I don't know why it went in this mode. I don't know why it recorded it this way.

[Chip]

You can turn it them.

[Jeff]

You can flip it, can you Power book? Yeah, I don't know how to flip.

[Chip]

It on your phone. You can.

[Jeff]

No, it was flipped.

[Chip]

Case you rotate it.

[Jeff]

When I. When I filmed it, I was horizontal.

[Chip]

That guy has all the way back to the Mac 2. He's got every incarnation. You see the ball there? I remember they had the ball. Look at how thick that thing was. That was a MacBook. It's insane. Look at this. Look at the whole size of the screen. The screen's this big and the back is like that giant. Now on my Mac right now you don't even see. There isn't any frame on it at all.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Chip]

Pretty wild. I can't believe he's got a whole. You know, he doesn't have any iPhones, though, right? He didn't have the iPhones.

[Jeff]

0 iPhones.

[Chip]

I have. I have most of them in the next video. I got the original one as well.

[Jeff]

To get some pictures on the outside.

[Chip]

It's got the newer one right there, too. Check that out.

[Jeff]

Pretty well.

[Chip]

I was having to turn my head, Jeff. I was like, look at it like this.

[Jeff]

I know. I know that that one's a little messed up, but then, yeah, it's insanely.

[Chip]

Insanely good, man. Insanely good.

[Jeff]

Where's. Oh, so here. All right.

[Chip]

Man. I'll tell you what, man.

[Jeff]

So. So this was the outside. This. The right steps took us kind of to the third floor patio area.

[Chip]

Steps have seen better days, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Well, yeah, this was the entryway. The entryway was nice, you know, black gravel, rock and stuff. But hang on. Hang on a second.

[Chip]

Almost like it was done, like 300 years ago. This. Boulders and stairs and stuff.

[Jeff]

Rough jobs. Jobs and the BTS gin Camping stay. So the other thing is, there's one of the camps K pop videos, one of the BTS videos that were filmed actually rented this camper van. So he rents all this stuff out, and it's. And he's had those. The computers and movies, and he's had the camper and movies or in, you know, videos and stuff like that. So it was very, like, farm kind of rule. But the houses were. All the houses were really nice in this area. It was just. Just interesting. It was just kind of a. A mix. Kind of like an unexpected mix of. Of the area.

[Chip]

7200. That's awesome, Jeff. Well, I'm glad you got to stay there. Jeff was showing that to me. He's like, you're gonna really like to play some stand. Oh, yeah. And he goes. Showed me like, oh, my God, dude, I can't believe you're staying. I can't believe you're staying there. This is crazy to me.

[Jeff]

It's totally insane being able to see that. But then you heard the. The loud crickets the other day, right? I was playing those. How loud?

[Chip]

Those things were a little bit weird. It's not a little different. A little bit of a different of a chirp there.

[Jeff]

And then I actually found one. I caught one of them.

[Chip]

Did you? They're little, right? The little guys?

[Jeff]

No, they're big.

[Chip]

Are they?

[Jeff]

They're a lot bigger than I thought, let me see if I can find it. Hang on a second. Let me find.

[Chip]

Videos.

[Jeff]

See, there are some really cool areas. What did I do with the bug?

[Chip]

This sucks. Look at Jim D saying I'm in serious trouble. Smartphone died. No local text will fix. Replace motherboard chips. No touch control. I got to reset all my two factor and recovery crypto wallets off the chain. Re import seeds. I'm having a different problem. My phone died too. But what died on it was the. What's weird is I have every wallet address found that I've backed up except for one Zaman wallet address that and then my. The other problem having too is on my. What is it? My signal. If you change the phone number, you have to change the phone number on the device. But in the middle of, you know, it was a really weird glitchy thing, you know, I was leaving the hospital, my dad just passed away. I'm driving home, pretty straw. I'm talking to my brother and I was talking to my wife. And then all of a sudden the phone just. I was like, what happened? No, no mobile, no cellular, no Bluetooth, no connection to WI fi. So I'm gonna have to. But the good thing was it does boot up. I do see it. So, Jim, I was a little bit more fortunate because I was able to back up, up the. The two fa. So I was able to port those over by. By doing the scan. But you know, every wall, it's weird. It's like I would always use a password. I can't remember the password and I don't know where I put the. So I'm hoping that I can. That I can potentially. Oh my God. It's wild looking. What is that? Those wings?

[Jeff]

Yeah, that was one of those bugs.

[Chip]

Wild makes all that noise, huh?

[Jeff]

Yeah, I'll show you.

[Chip]

Looks he's got bullet holes in him.

[Jeff]

It's crazy. These things were just insane.

[Chip]

They had a South Korean accent, says art.

[Jeff]

They were so loud. It was insane. Like morning, noon, night, didn't matter.

[Chip]

My lemon tree needs love. Yeah, it needs a lot of love. I learned that Zum knows what devices your wallets are on. Gave me warnings on re import. Yeah, Problem was when I I rebooted my new phone off of a backup, but it doesn't allow you to. You can't restore it off a backup. So that's another thing I'll tell everybody. Make sure you have your Zaman, you know, your seed phrase backed up. But every other wallet, if you could access the wallet, there's a way to Go in there and pull it out of there. But I had every wallet going back to 2018 except for one. And I don't know. I know I have it somewhere, I just don't know where. So hopefully I can fix the WI fi and the Bluetooth find it. So we'll see. Man. Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp chirp.

[Jeff]

Trying to get that thing to be live and.

[Chip]

All right, let's get going. I'm go ahead and start this first over here Jeff.

[Jeff]

Let's cover some stuff.

[Chip]

Let's do this. Ripple X some big thing so a new thing that's happening. Performance testing for this is interesting. Batch transactions are now available. The key takeaway here is XRPL remains highly performant using this feature. So by bundling up to eight transactions in one batch acts as a lever boosting overall ledger throughout throughput beyond its baseline. So what are the number of transactions in the XRPL now? So if you take that you basically have almost, I don't know it's 100. You can multiply it by eight. But just goes to show you could do more transactions by by batching them. So I've always been wondering too. It's like at some point this is the, this is kind of the issue with, with Bitcoin too when you have all these transactions going through that, you know, transactions per second at some point it's going to hit some type of a bottleneck. So it what it'll basically mean give you more complex operations without sacrificing speed and efficiency with the xrpl. So this is a good, good move on their part. It's good to see this. Mayuka commented on it as well. She said the performance testing important info to keep in mind when discussing batch and its impact. So this is a very good development here. Atomic batch transactions proposed amendments the XRPL.

[Jeff]

8 120,000 transactions per second okay so.

[Chip]

Right 15k for some reason I think it was 14k. That was the number I had stuck in my mind. But you think about you know, some other networks like SUI and some other ones have more transactions per second. Again, you know it's a matter of like it's a matter of maxing that bit of it out and getting to it. But the it's a proposed amendment. The XRPL enables the atomic execution of multiple transactions as a single unit by ensuring that complex multi step operations either fully succeed or entirely revert. The feature introduces significant usability and flexibility improvements enabling use cases such as atomic swaps, conditional token minting and Integrated fee management. To evaluate the performance and implications of batch transaction, the Ripple X performance team conducted a targeting targeted benchmark test. This report details our testing methodology and they go through the whole thing. What they looked at, you know, the primary objectives about accessing the ledger. Identifying performance bottlenecks. Ensure the Network maintains a 5 second consensus latency under a high load. That's key. You don't want the thing locking up. We've seen that happen on other chains and other networks. Testing method testing the capacity planning to measure the performance of integrating the batch transactions. They established the deadline for the network ledger validation. 5 seconds. Created a test environment where they had 5 nodes which functions as validators. 4 nodes operating in a P2Pmode serving non validating client gateway gateways, all this other stuff. Blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah blah blah. Test data.

[Jeff]

You can have a Zaman wallet on multiple. On multiple devices.

[Chip]

Yeah, if you have your seed phrase. Jeff. Sure. Where is my seed phrase? I found every seed phrase for every wallet I've ever had going back to 2018, except for one. That's what I said earlier, the one that you needed paying attention, you know, and I just don't know what happened to I don't know, it's just weird. But because, so the weird thing is like with my signal account, I can only change the phone number. I used to have a phone number.

[Jeff]

It's a major issue.

[Chip]

Well, I had, I had an account that was issued through Google. It used to be, it used to be 561, which is the Palm Beach Exchange, you know, the, the exchange in Florida. And it was, and it said it was 561247 chip. Not that you call me 24 7, but it was, it was, it was kind of a. And I use that number for work. But if you didn't use it often, they took it back. Well, I never realized that I'd set that number up with signal years ago. So now there's no way for me to get the code. It's so stupid that they attach it to the fricking phone.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

So there's no way for me to get the code. And there's people all over line bitching about this. It would have been to an email address. Could have sent it to an email address or a two factor. I could have sent it. There's nothing. There's, there's no way to. So I have it. And because I ported the overt signal over to my, my desktop, I can't change it there. You can only change it on the phone. I'm like, this is bull crap, man. So I could potentially. Yeah, so that could be hosed. I don't have it on my. So if I can get, if I can get this, the, if I can get it working on the. Is that bitcoin?

[Jeff]

Yeah. Look at that.

[Chip]

125. Incredible.

[Jeff]

Look at that. Look at that volume. Crazy. Insane.

[Chip]

Peewee Strong says, I've always wanted to know why EAT got the free pass. The name's the ETH initial offering. What are your opinions? I zero trust in eth. Look, I mean, I hate to tell you, but everybody's building with eat. That's the, that's the big kicker is that, you know, first to market with smart contracts. Really. And smart contracts were always missing. You know, having smart contracts on a side chain or having them on flare will certainly help. But the big, the big, the big deal there is the fact that, look, this is how it works. There's, you know, government always picks winners and losers. You know, you got, you've got the banks out. The banking foundation is out there petitioning and upset because Ripple wants a banking license. They're just trying to protect their own territory, trying to get first to market. The problem with E2 is like, you know, I mean, look at this thing. I mean this thing was 50 less. It was like 22. It was hovering around 2100 bucks just, you know, two, three months ago. Now it's up over four grand. Now it's 4700 all time high, Jeff.

[Jeff]

That is an all time high.

[Chip]

Look at that. So, and it's weird that, you know, it's still, I mean, we saw, we saw XRP hit the all time high, but it should be 7, 8, 10, 15 by now. It's. I don't, I don't, I don't get it personally. I mean, mean, you know, it has to be somewhere over $10 to eclipse the market cap to 10. With that being 4700, it's gotta be like 10, 50, almost $11 to flip ETH out of the second position for the market cap.

[Jeff]

Still a lot to happen.

[Chip]

I think it's good to take some time. It's I, you know, good to see bitcoin on the move. It's good to see. I, I have a feeling it'll hit 200,000 by the end of the year. It's very possible. At least, at least one. 150, 160. Yeah, it's going to get to 200,000. It's just a matter of time on its way. Jamie Dimon paid the right petitions. There's so much corruption. It's. It really is corrupt as hell.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

Ed says hit the like button. Follow. Ed knows what he's talking about. Hit the like button. People. Crypto rope says if you want a yeti, smash the likes. That's right. You want to smash the likes.

[Jeff]

And talking about yetis, first you got to spell it the right way. And then second. Secondly, since we're almost at the bottom of the hour, might as well.

[Chip]

Ready?

[Jeff]

Roll this out now. Let's roll this now. This will be ready. We haven't. We haven't done one in so long.

[Chip]

We haven't had a song a long time, man. I haven't. I didn't do any songs when you were gone. I was hard enough just to prep the show, get everything else done.

[Jeff]

It's a lot of work. Here we go. Let me roll this out. We're going to do it early. The early bird gets the worm.

[Chip]

Guys, you ready for a song? You've been so starved on a yeti song. Jeff is back with another banger. Another banger. An original song every single time. That's what you expect.

[Jeff]

That's right. It's highly expected. Here we go. When a badass yeti.

[Chip]

From the blue tribe.

[Art Lake]

The word of the day Yeti. Gotcha. Zomin wallet. Ready wide. Cause this is gonna be epic. It's time to claim your legendary blue tribe of the clan.

[Chip]

Pathfinders.

[Art Lake]

His name. Let's go. On the chain battle. Yes. Born for battle. Made for legend. Claim yours or be forgotten. Badass. The en.

[Chip]

Is on the chain. That was a banger, man. Wow. That yelling. I love it. Drums.

[Jeff]

You gotta love that yelling. Yes.

[Chip]

That's great.

[Jeff]

That's very cool.

[Chip]

What else says the Ripples Intentionally staying hidden in the background to minimize the amount of retail exposure. Yeah, they're not a retail company. Chad says you had 13 hours in the plane to create this one. Try 15 plus hours and then another second two hour trip home.

[Jeff]

That's right. And delays. And 17.

[Chip]

Oh God. It's a lot of stuff, man. This was Cassie Cradock. She is. She's over in the uk, I think. What does she do? What's her official title? Managing director at Ripple. So I know she's over. She says that's traditional decentralized finance. Converge Ripple leading the way in driving cross border payments innovation. Thanks to Marella at the papers. Papers.

[Jeff]

Papers.

[Chip]

Papers is a. They cover financial stuff. Leading independent source of news and analysis for professionals in the payments fintech. And commerce community based out of Amsterdam.

[Jeff]

Amsterdam the papers.

[Chip]

So this was the article Jeff, Nice big long interview trade 5 I simplified it and put it in here to kind of like clean it up a little bit.

[Jeff]

W Now we can actually read it.

[Chip]

She actually went through how trade finance defi are converging to trans to transform cross border payments. She discussed the rise of stable coins like Ripple USD. The tokenization of real world assets and smart contracts with speed, transparency and lower costs xrp. The Ripple's XRP ledger is leading enterprise adoption and banks are adapting by integrating programmable money and stable coins to stay relevant also cover the challenges in scaling security secure cost effective payments. So some of the questions that were asked like what's driving the convergence to trade find defy really comes down to stable coins and of course institutional adoption as the crypto technology matures and also the governance happens as well. Like in the US passing the genius act which is this the stablecoin bill kind of lays down the law of the land. How's Ripple innovating cross border payments launch rlusd strict regulatory oversight. The tokenization real world assets talks about contracts and smart contracts. That's. That was what you talked about. E Look, ETH had smart contracts, man. If it would have pulled the trigger on smart contracts, people would. Would have. XRPL is far superior in a lot of ways. Without smart contracts, look, I mean you missed the boat. You got it, you got to jump on it.

[Jeff]

Yeah, there were a couple parts to that. It was the smart contracts and it was the ERC20, you know, token token. And that created an entire ecosystem. And that's where there's a lot of. And they dropped the. They dropped the ball on the xrpl. I mean that wasn't the focus, you know. Whereas with eth, you know they got. They got the word out through eth just through the erc 20s that was pre smart contract. You know, smart contract started building Cody.

[Chip]

Is they could have thrown $100 million at Codius and made it the most amazing thing ever. It's just right, you know. I mean look at. I mean even. Even NFTs were so late to the XRPL. My God, it took forever. It was like the. It was like the last entrant talked about how tokenization and smart contracts will enhance global payments. They're going to unlock liquidity and fractional ownership, increased accessibility, transparency and efficiency across effects commodities, bonds, ETFs. And the XRP ledger supports enterprise adoption. Let me go down here. How are stablecoins impacting the effects across border it's real time that's key 247 settlement reduce intermediaries friction operational costs and then the ripple USD designed for enterprise grade use and regulatory compliance.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

I think they got everything in there Jeff. They kind of put like the whole caboodle everything with the kitchen sink I don't think there was anything.

[Jeff]

No that's it, that's all you need.

[Chip]

If you guys follow the charting guy he's got Bob Ross as his his avatar the painter with the fro afro. Charting guy says late last year and this and early this year looked like XRP was on track to flip eth, Ethereum and market cap. I believe that's no longer the case. I re entered Ethan April at the lows and has shown immense strength since then and now it's just 10 away from the all time high which has already hit XRP probably will have a 2 1/2 times max left and even if that happens its market cap won't even be what ETH is now. So don't listen to moon boys own both chill and be fine with everything that's playing out and how it does. Ethereum outperformance and strength was overdue and I timed it perfectly here if you all paid attention. Well dude, he got so much incoming.

[Jeff]

Of course visual vendetta looks I saw prices going back up and new OTC was doing a show boom.

[Chip]

It always goes up for us.

[Jeff]

Always a direct correlation.

[Chip]

Whenever Cobb streams you know it's going down. Nobody wants some streaming.

[Jeff]

Where the green candle dude, this guy.

[Chip]

Got if you read the comments he got so much incoming hate he said look so many XRP maxis are coming from my head over this. For XRP to hit East's current market cap it would have to be $9 and 30 cents. Well now it's over $10 and so that's if Eth stops here and does nothing else. Well it already has and XRP does a 3x, it's rather unlikely. So he's saying if you knew it 3x's and gets the $9 still not gonna flip it. He's like PS XRP is literally 66% of my portfolio. Well Eth is only 4% so chill.

[Jeff]

Lol.

[Chip]

Here's a guy who owns believes in XRP but he's just telling you like that's the real deal even if it three X's you know and again that's all based on legacy stuff. It doesn't necessarily mean that that's not gonna happen or gonna Happen.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

Jeff, take this next one. I thought you would love this one. Take this next one.

[Jeff]

Right. I was going through this, I thought this, this is, you know, of course, what, you know, David Schwartz does. And so he has to reach out to Grok. He said, from 1 to 100. What's my political lean? One being extreme left and 100 being extreme right. So Grok said, based on analyzing your expos and public statements emphasizing free speech, anti censorship, pro crypto decentralization, criticism of government persecution and some GOP positions, while noting Trump's crypto benefits, I'd rate you 68. Moderately right leaning libertarian man. That's. It's crazy because that's kind of how we call it out.

[Chip]

Yeah, I, I don't think it's 68. I think it's less. Personally what, I'd rate it 52 and then read that one.

[Jeff]

Weirdly, I think this is mostly correct. I though. Although I think it's kind of odd that it seems to think that my anti censorship focus leans right. Sadly, it's quite correct that my pro crypto decentralization leans right. But that's anti censorship would be more right leaning because of course, very pro censorship.

[Chip]

Well, they're pro centralization and pro censorship. That's. That's too words you would define the party. Right, of course, I said, not exactly a stretch to think your anti censorship stance skews. Right. The left is all in on censorship and centralization. Our YouTube podcast has been shadow banned for our geopolitical takes. And let's be real, YouTube is run by who? Jeff.

[Jeff]

Right?

[Chip]

That's correct.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Chip]

Ding, ding, ding. Probably gonna get dinged for this by just for saying that YouTube's always listening.

[Jeff]

The YouTube AI is always monitoring and.

[Chip]

But it can't filter out those comments.

[Jeff]

I just loves those comments.

[Chip]

It's like I just got this crypto and someone else comes right behind it. Really? Which crypto and someone. I'm like, first of all, that never happens at any time at any world. But you, your AI can't detect that. That's not even remotely on track. Sometimes people will comment and another comment to come in. Not like, oh, what is it? Oh, call Mrs. So and so. Here's your phone number. Oh, how do I get a hold of her? Oh, I used her. She was fantastic. It's the same pattern every time. But no, they can't figure it out. It's like that whack a mole. You hit two of them, five more pop up. You hit five through ten more pop up. You just can't keep up with it. He's tried to keep up with it.

[Jeff]

No, it's Google. It's Google.

[Chip]

Just ridiculous.

[Jeff]

That's right. The rl. What is this?

[Chip]

This is an ad, Jeff. I've not. It's the first time I've seen ad for RO USD. I've seen them running. This is the running. This ad is, you know, interesting.

[Jeff]

That's them with the ROUSD going after retail. That's a retail play right there.

[Chip]

It's amazing.

[Jeff]

They want liquidity. They want. They need liquidity out there in the market. So they need people to start holding. What does it say?

[Chip]

This was pretty cool.

[Jeff]

Patterns of tech innovation, Corporate strategy. Oh, it's in Portuguese. What is this?

[Chip]

So, yeah, so hi. So crypto Eddie put this post up here and she was saying hi to David Schwartz. I think you'll find this interesting. A new study that analyzes the patent portfolios of Ripple Labs Inc. And Ripple Luxembourg sa. They aim to identify patterns of technological innovation and relationship to corporate strategy in the blockchain market. It's in Portuguese, but you surely can translate it. So this was submitted on July 11 and it was approved on August 1. This guy sort of summed it up crypto watcher. He said, interesting institutional adoption. The thesis argues that Ripple's extensive patent portfolio, strategic acquisitions, the ISO 222 compliance and improving regulatory clarity position it to be a cornerstone of the next generation of global payments infrastructure. And they do hold quite a few patents. I thought he had another mark. Do you have another remark in there somewhere? Yeah, this one here. He said what's impressive is the engineering team. The patents from David, Bob and Stefan Thomas clearly show that they laid the technical foundation of the current XRPL and turned the vision of the Internet of value into reality. So that's another cool thing is they do have patents on some of this stuff, which is very good, Jeff, I have to say.

[Jeff]

Very impressive.

[Chip]

It's very good. Very good. And then this here wanted to play this first and then go to a video. But the Fed compiled comply with the pro Trump investment firms request it reveal which board members voted to keep the most recent meeting closed. This is interesting because remember the Fed, everything's supposed to be transparent that goes on over there. But one key request remains unmet. If Powell does not release the transcript in the coming days, Azoria will consider all legal possible action and avenues in its continued fight to bring the transparency and accountability to the Federal Reserve on behalf of all American. Azoria CEO James Fishback told Daily Signal. I'm. I am so impressed with this guy, James Fishback. This guy, really, he's a CEO and he runs an investment firm. But I'll tell you what, he's so well spoken, especially when it comes to this douchebag Powell, who's a partisan hack. Let's be honest with you, he's. There's nothing more than just a partisan hackery going on. That's all that's happening right here. It's just garbage, garbage, garbage. I wanted to see. Can I pull his. Weird, huh? Let's see. I don't know why. Oh, there we go. Here it is. So this is James Fishback. This guy's so well spoken. He's on all the media outlets talking about Powell. He's been suing them, he's been getting FOIA requests. And what he wants is, he wants this to be, he wants it to be an open forum. If you have this third party that's having behind closed door meetings, why, this is the people's business. So he's fighting to get that because he wants to know a little bit what's going on. But here's James Fishback.

[James Fishback]

We got a letter from Jerome Powell's lawyers in this ongoing legal fight between my investment firm, Missouri, and Jerome Powell's Federal Reserve. And the letter confirmed that they had actually complied with one of our two demands since our first hearing last month. We demanded that they tell us who on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors voted to close the last meeting to the public. And we were surprised to learn that it was a unanimous vote, including two of President Trump's own appointees, who voted against public transparency, against the Fed operating in public view, and instead slammed the door shut to the American public knowing what on earth is actually going on in those meetings? What on earth is going into those decisions that influence every mortgage, credit card and small business loan? The Federal Reserve is not above the law. They have to comply with our demand and immediately release the transcript of last month's meeting, a meeting that saw record dissent. Two of Jerome Powell's own board governors voted against him and voted to lower rates immediately at that meeting. Americans deserve no less than full transparency from the Federal Reserve, an institution that is among the most powerful in the country and the least transparent and least accountable. This is not about Republicans or Democrats, right or wrong, whether you voted for President Trump or not, you deserve to know what the Federal Reserve is doing in your name and to you and your family. There are not Republican mortgage rates and Democrat mortgage rates. There are not Republican credit card rates and Democrat credit card rates. There are not small business loan rates for Republicans and small business loan rates for Democrats. Everything the Federal Reserve does influences everything that we do as Americans, no matter where we live. It's time for Jerome Powell to comply with our demand letter, to comply with federal law and for once to do right by all Americans.

[Chip]

What do you think about that, Jeff?

[Jeff]

Lie and do what's right.

[Chip]

Yeah, comply. Bastards. What are you waiting for when you get off your ass and apply? But this is his thing. Azoria. It's at Invest Azoria. It's an American investment firm. This is the website right here. It's an American investment firm founded by James Fishback. Mission is singular. Generate positive returns for investors through a commitment to free thinking, excellence and meritocracy. So there it is. So there's again see his ETFs right there. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Azoria 500 meritocracy have a golden Age fund. I like that. The Golden Age fund and TS LA fund as well, which is pretty, pretty interesting. Kind of like that. But I like this guy. I'm really impressed with him. He's been on a bunch of media outlets and he's, he's very. He's just a really well spoken dude. Yep, incredibly well spoken.

[Jeff]

Have you seen this, Blair? The Flare. Here we go. From the flare community. XRP staking on the flare network via crypto.com. interesting.

[Chip]

Also too, I wanted to let you know that Hugo Filon and Santiago Velez from Zoda will be on with Jenna X and they'll. There's gonna. She'll be interviewing both of them. They'll be talking about a lot of cool stuff on Friday at 10:00am I believe it's 10:00am That'll be a fantastic interview, guys.

[Jeff]

I'll, you know, 10:00am on Friday.

[Chip]

10:00Am on Friday. It's going to be good. So it'll be Hugo along with Santiago Velez, obviously. Hugo is the CEO and co. And co founder of Flair and, and also Santiago Velez is co founder of the Zodao. And in full transparency, I'm a marketing advisor to the Zodo. So very transparent about that. So what other geopolitical things are happening? Can only tell you some of the things that are going on here.

[Jeff]

What do you guys think those are? I don't care. This is the Flare website.

[Chip]

Yes, I've seen it, Jeff.

[Jeff]

I know. Just kind of cool. I like it. I like their website.

[Chip]

It's got all the cool animations on it.

[Jeff]

Yeah, it's kind of nice. Look at that Blair Bitcoin layer XRP live Doge is coming soon.

[Chip]

Staking is going to be a big thing. There's only a few drops. I think there's only three drops left for.

[Jeff]

Oh, that's it. Are we already into the three years or whatever it was?

[Chip]

Yeah. Insane.

[Jeff]

I can't believe that time.

[Chip]

Are you familiar with the. Are you familiar with the Baldwin brothers? Yes, the actor acting troupe. So there's Stephen, there's Daniel, there's William, and there's Alec Baldwin. Alex, probably the most famous then. Actually, Daniel's done a lot of work as well, and William. But there's the four. Well, what's interesting is here's Daniel and listen to what he has.

[Daniel Baldwin]

I feel your pain.

[Chip]

So somebody basically asked them, hey, what. What is said is because of your thoughts and feelings, you wind up being blackballed by your friends and your family. I'm. I'm not just saying you, but it's happening to other families, too. And so this is Daniel Baldwin talking about his brothers. Listen to this. And this is. And I want you to listen closely because this is one of the key differentiators between the left and the right people. All the time, people come up to me, I hate Trump. Okay. I think he's an. Yeah, it's great. It's great that you live in a country where you can say that. I'm posting on. On X every day that he's the biggest jackass that ever lived. Cool. Now I say something pro Trump and then I got, like, people, like, throwing D darts into my back of my head and, you know, on my scalp, because they're irrational and it's a mental disorder is what it really comes down to. Like, I. It's cool that you have your own opinion. We don't have to talk about. We don't have to argue about it. That's great if you have a differing opinion, but he's going to express something, which is a really sad thing that's happening to a lot of families. And Jeff, you've gone through it with friends. I've certainly gone through it and lost friends over it. I have a friend that will come over and just want to tell me what. How evil Trump is and this and that. I'm like, cool, dude. I get it. You don't like him. I mean, what else you want me to say? I get it. They ain't gonna change my opinion, and I'm not gonna fight with you about it. It's just not. Not right. But here, listen to this.

[Daniel Baldwin]

I feel your pain. I feel your pain. For me, it's mostly my siblings. I'm not as close with any of my brothers as I was. I experienced that with all of my family over a variety of reasons. But politically, for sure, I have much less contact with them. And I think you have to stick by your convictions. I think you have to look at the greater good of it. It's sad to think that someone that you love could abandon you, that I, I, I, I consider it an abandonment over a political issue. You know, I don't care what Billy believes. I don't. Billy's my, you know, my closest of my brothers, for sure, you know, and I've been there no matter what, so I don't really care that Billy was a big Biden guy. Can't say the same. Same for my brother. He has made it very clear to me that my stance politically, he's ashamed of and criticisms and just hurtful messages to me due to what I believe. Politically, that's on him. That's really, that's for him to digest and live with. I love my brother. I'm always here for him, as I am for all my family. If they're not willing to talk to you about it and they're not willing to meet with you about it, then I don't know what more you can do about it except for pray for them. That's the best thing.

[Chip]

All you can do, man. But being ostracized over that, it's like, it's, it's so irrational, Jeff. It's so bizarre.

[Jeff]

To me, they're very irrational.

[Chip]

You know, family, you know, it's like, what? You don't have to believe everything together, but it's just insane. I think that this is Pocahontas. So she's now she's partnering with Tim Scott on housing. These people are so clueless. They miss the point every single time. Interest rates are the problem, okay? The Fed is the problem. You know, there's so many other things that the problem, but they always try to put the band aid. They go all the way down the line. They go, oh, look over here. This is the problem. Listen, this irrational fake Indian. And I, I really want to ask you about this because we don't always have bipartisan news here, right?

[Jeff]

Good bipartisan news.

[Chip]

And you've been. It's good bipartisan news. Because Tim Scott. Okay, when we don't have hardly any bipartisan. You don't do anything bipartisan.

[Jeff]

Everything is like, they definitely don't have bipartisan viewership.

[Chip]

Look at the fake Indian with the fake smile and the fake feigning, you know, excitement over here. She's such a fraud. What a grifter. Working on this new proposed housing package with Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott.

[Jeff]

The cost of housing is, I don't.

[Chip]

Tell you, but one of the most.

[Jeff]

Pressing questions in the overall conversation about affordability.

[Chip]

What would this legislation do to help people? Okay, so first understand the problem. You know, we've been standing around for the last 40 years talking about. I think she said 40 years, but it sounded like the last four years. We've been standing around the last four years. Wow. How expensive?

[Jeff]

Wow.

[Chip]

And the cost just keeps going up. And frankly, why don't we ask the bigger question there, Pocahontas? How did it. How is the year worth $80 million? Explain, please. You made a $400,000 salary, you know, indoctrinating kids as a professor, showing up for six credit hours. Please tell us here in Washington, we don't do anything very differently about that. The problem is we just don't have enough houses. That's not the problem.

[Jeff]

The problem. The problem.

[Chip]

It's not the problem at all. There's not enough houses. The problem is the interest rates are too freaking high. People can't afford to put a down payment on a house because they're too expensive. Okay? And, and the market, when you, you know, you know, the, the fact that when interest rates are high, no one's moving, and if more. If a more property comes on the market, prices are going to go down. When there's few people that can afford to take the hit. You know, if they're. If their mortgage rates are like 2 or 3%, they're not going to get a 7% mortgage. They're going to take all that incoming, and then any kind of money that they have on their house, when they go to purchase something else, they miss. They always go in for the band aid. They always think that whatever the visible thing is the end of the tunnel job, but they miss the whole picture. The problem is, is if the house, all of a sudden, the interest rates dropped a point, then dropped another point. Now we're into 4% territory. And then it got down to 3%. There would be so much real estate on the market, people will be moving. Prices would come back down, level out, because there'd be a ton of stuff on the market. People. It would sell it. And that's what would bring the prices down. Interest rates high. Prices are staying high. But, but, but Pocahontas doesn't understand. We don't have enough housing of any kind, and we need more housing. I've had enough of her.

[Jeff]

You can't even.

[Chip]

She's just such a. I mean, I. I just really can't believe she. I can't even believe she's, like, for real, this one. She's something that's just insane. Now, Kevin o' Leary was calling out Mandani, but before we get into that, I gotta show you Zoron the Pocahontas. Look at this. They were trying to do some commercial together, and look what happened here. Jeff, look at this. I was trying to hold in a coffin. I started crying.

[Art Lake]

Oh, I thought you were just being Tim. I feel the same.

[Chip]

I bring this out in people. I really doron the water.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God.

[Chip]

They actually thought that was worth putting out. There's zero policy going on. There's zero anything of any. Of any substance going on. But you know who calls out Zoran? The Kevin O'. Leary. Mr. Wonderful. Listen to this.

[Kevin O'Leary]

It's starting to smell a little bit like the sixth week of the general election when Kamala Harris refused to put out any policy and just kind of kept reiterating the same rhetoric over and over again. He's doing the same thing. I'm not getting any policy. I'm one of many investors that have asked his staff for a meeting to get some idea on how he's planning to do this affordable housing thing. I would love to be part of that as an investor, but not if this rhetoric is true, because he won't be able to raise any money. He's offering free everything. Well, that doesn't work in real estate. You have to give investors a market, market return. I would. I would hope someone on his staff would explain that to him. If not, I can do it for them. But if he doesn't do that, he's going to run into a lot of brick walls or he's going to charge 150% tax to get everything free in New York, which also isn't going to work.

[Art Lake]

All right, well.

[Chip]

You'Re talking about somebody who's a big time investor, man. Somebody that's worth 100 million plus dollars here. And that's why all the money's leaving.

[Jeff]

All the money's leaving New York because of, you know, people like that, you know, the politician, the happening in New York. That's why New York is just dirty. No, it's just.

[Chip]

It's dirty. It's filthy. It smells like rats. It's horrible.

[Jeff]

So they need to just get a power hose just so I Don't know.

[Chip]

If you're aware of this, Jeff. In addition to the awesome interview that's happening with Jenna X with, with Hugo from, from Flair and also Santiago from Zaow, President Trump is going to meeting with President Putin in Alaska. An interesting choice. So this is kind of some, these are two videos on people speculating what how it's going to go. Listen, look at this. Get some kebabs on the grill, eating some mushrooms, sing around the campfire singing some tunes.

[Jeff]

That's great.

[Chip]

You gotta love that.

[Jeff]

I love that.

[Chip]

And then this one, tell me if you recognize two people that are overlooking, if you know who they are. Look, I want to hear from you guys if you want who's, who's, who's spying on Putin and Trump here. Let's look. Snow is falling down in Alaska town.

[Jeff]

Oh my God.

[Chip]

Making snowman together.

[Jeff]

Oh my God.

[Chip]

They hug it out.

[Jeff]

That's upgrade.

[Chip]

You gotta love it man.

[Jeff]

It's so awesome.

[Chip]

It really gotta love the AI.

[Jeff]

AI is freaking amazing.

[Chip]

So yeah, I mean you can do such amazing memes and stuff. That's one of the greatest things. I mean all this stuff, the baby Trump stuff, I can't get enough of it. It's just so great. So this was the zoron the posted. I was moved by my conversation and gad said put this out. Are you retarded? The answer is yes.

[Jeff]

The answer is absolutely.

[Chip]

The answer is 100. Yes, absolutely. 100. So 100. And then the gerrymandering. Jeff. So Mr. So called Gavin Newscomb, as Trump calls him, he announced plans to redraw congressional maps. He's like you're, look at, look at this huge historic event. Thursday 11:30 Pacific in Los Angeles. A beautiful rally press conference with Gavin, Christopher, Nome and strong Dems. Democrats will destroy Greg Abbott's totally rigged maps. Tremendous work is being done. Donald Trump, the criminal, the, that they.

[Jeff]

Say the stuff they post is just so, you know, ludicrous.

[Chip]

Trump is about to have a very bad day. California is lost. Dude, what are you talking about? He has to show what happens in California. Nobody. ABC California Governor Newsom says California move forward with the drawing new congressional maps. He said we'll end the Trump presidency. Yeah, yeah, okay. And allow Democrats to take control of the U. S. House. No, sorry, there isn't. Jeff. What? How many, how many, how many Republicans are in California now with the redistricting in just Texas and Florida alone, you're going to pick up 15 seats. Are they going to eliminate 15 seats? Let's see this, this guy is so dumb. I mean he doubles down on stupid all the time. He put this one out. When speaker little man johnson is standing in the unemployment line, he can thank Donald Taco j. Trump missed a simple deadline. Something he's often done with his many failed businesses. Now California will fire him with new, more beautiful maps. Highly anticipated historical press conference. What is crazy, Jeff?

[Jeff]

It says that there are. There's no republican senators representing California. We know that in the u. S. House there are 10 Republican members from California.

[Chip]

So they're going to try to. They're going to try to draw maps. All ten of them get. Get zapped out.

[Jeff]

Yep.

[Jeff]

It is cute.

[Chip]

Can you put it up there again, Jeff? Just the yeti itself. Pathfinder. That's not our pathfinder though. I. Jeff, we got that one secured in the holding cell. Funny how they pronounce the name correctly. Again, go ahead and click on the image. Just click on it. It blows up automatically. There you go.

[Jeff]

Look at that guy. Look how cool that guy is. Now don't sleep on these guys. These guys might look cute. They'll rip your face off. You guys look. Look fun.

[Chip]

Okay, we got 15, Jeff. I think that's enough to pull the trigger.

[Jeff]

That's enough to cue the song up.

[Chip]

I'll go ahead and let it rip.

[Jeff]

All right, let's.

[Chip]

We'll let it rip on the iTai.

[Jeff]

It's a media asset.

[Chip]

Here we go. You guys had a chance. Let's get this scam rolling, man. Almost to heart. You win, Jack. You won't be able to say anything.

[Jeff]

Rig go.

[Chip]

One in 15 chance. Good odds. Let's go. Who will it be? Who's gonna win? The badass pity is the big winner. Daniel Parker, are you here? Daniel? Daniel, are you here? We need to see if Daniel's here. We gotta see. We gotta hear from you, Daniel. I'm here. I'm here. Sorry, Wrong one, Eisenman. Sorry.

[Jeff]

Badass yetis.

[Chip]

Rigged. Daniel Parker, where are you, man?

[Jeff]

Daniel Parker.

[Chip]

Jack has two yetis. Yay. Rigged again. Rigged. Jeff, where is Daniel Parker? Daniel, we need to hear.

[Jeff]

You see. Maybe he's behind. Maybe he's watching the chat. Maybe he's not watching the chat. Maybe he's no longer in the chat. Variables. And you know what happens if he's not here.

[Chip]

Again.

[Jeff]

Gotta roll again.

[Chip]

Look like we might have to give him a little bit of chance here to kind of catch up. I don't see him.

[Jeff]

No.

[Chip]

Where is he? Daniel? We can't wait too much longer. We have to. We should probably have a stopwatch on the screen where it goes. It's counts down from two minutes.

[Jeff]

That actually be a good idea. Give everyone 60 seconds. Charles. He's never won before?

[Chip]

No, he's never won.

[Jeff]

Never. All right.

[Chip]

Sorry about that. Daniel. You must have bailed. So you have to be present to win. That's only rules. And you can't win within a 30 re win again in a 30 day period, so.

[Jeff]

Heck. Again. Here we go.

[Chip]

It's okay, guys. Here we go. Drawn again. You got a 1 in 16.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Chip]

Ready? Let's go. Who's it gonna be? Who's it gonna be? Who's it gonna be? Let's see, let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Joshua Griffith.

[Jeff]

Ah, look at all these new names.

[Chip]

Where's Joshua? Joshua, are you in the house?

[Jeff]

Oh, look at that. Daniel Parker's here.

[Chip]

Two. Well, dude, you missed your. You missed your chance, my man.

[Jeff]

Well, if Joshua Griffith's not here, then Daniel Parker gets the win.

[Chip]

Yeah, you got to be on top of it, man. You got to jump in right away.

[Jeff]

Oh, Joshua Griffith is here too. Oh, I Think this is. Daniel Parker's never been on the show before, so I don't think he knew the rules. Josh, what do we got to do? Josh Griffith is here. Now here's the thing. We need Zaman wallet address.

[Chip]

Get a zombie wallet address. We need that. That's the next thing.

[Jeff]

Zaman wallet address. Yeah, Dan and Josh might have to give out, too.

[Chip]

Yep, Josh was unfair. He did win first.

[Jeff]

He did win first. Now here's the thing. Let's see. First to give the wallet address wins. There you go.

[Chip]

I love you guys. Just kidding.

[Jeff]

Dan Parker.

[Chip]

Just kidding.

[Jeff]

Daniel Parker.

[Chip]

Yeah, we know. We know you're kidding. That's why we laugh.

[Jeff]

Let's get. Might have to give out too, because I've. I've never seen Josh Griffith or Daniel Parker on before.

[Chip]

Yeah, I hate to say. Hate to see somebody win and then not give out something. Maybe you can give a white tribe to number two, but let's see. We got to see the Zomba wallet address, guys.

[Jeff]

You guys both can present a Z wallet address. You know how to do that?

[Chip]

Yeah, go ahead. We'll get you. We'll throw you a white tribe. I like to see somebody win and then pull back. So, yeah, I like to do that. So I appreciate that. We got wage.

[Jeff]

Gosh. Doesn't have a wallet. No, no. Is that. How do I get a wallet?

[Chip]

Okay, go to. You have to download the Zombit app, and then you have to start a create account. Make sure you write down your seed phrase. Very important. Put it in a safe place, and then make sure you move at least 5 xrp over there from exchange. So there you go.

[Jeff]

Oh, no. Dan Barker doesn't have one either.

[Chip]

Dude, you guys both don't have it. Okay, maybe we have to start the rules again. You got to have a zombie wallet to be able to win the yeti.

[Jeff]

In order to win the yeti, that's going to be. Then you need an address.

[Chip]

So Josh doesn't have it either.

[Jeff]

Josh doesn't have one. And Daniel Parker does not have.

[Chip]

Okay, so we're gonna have to pick again, guys. Oh, my God. This has never happened before. We went from feeling bad and giving two out to giving zero out.

[Jeff]

So. So here's the thing. For Daniel and. And Joshua, make sure you guys go to Zaman. Go to your app. Get the Zaman wallet. Make sure you put five XRP in there. Make sure you also then connect it to the XRP Cafe. Go to XRP Cafe. You can do it right on the computer. XRP Cafe and connect Your wallet. And then when you connect your wallet, then it just simplifies the whole process, but it really makes it.

[Chip]

That's it right there.

[Jeff]

There's the Z wallet.

[Chip]

So, you know, it's. It's a. It's a mobile app, only you can't get to it on desktop. Just let you know.

[Jeff]

Right. But then the thing is over here, if you. That's the Zaman wallet, which is really cool. And then over here, when you go to your XRP cafe, you can connect your Zaman wallet in this area, connect the zombie wall. Then boom, we transfer it to you, you get it, and then it's in your zombie wall.

[Chip]

Or you can go get one. You can buy one too. You can buy a blue tribe, you buy a white tribe. So a lot of cool things you can do. So, yeah, it's all very cool. All right, guys, we're gonna go ahead and third try.

[Jeff]

Wow. How do you get the wallet? Was that an old comment?

[Chip]

Yeah, it was an old one. Yeah. So you basically go to. Go on if you're on Android or if you're on iPhone, you just go to the app store, the Google Play, and you download Z zom, and it's X a M a N, and then you set it up. Make sure take a lot of time to write your seed phrase down. Double check it, triple check it. Put on a piece of paper, put it somewhere very safe. You'll. You'll forget where it is in eight years from now when you're looking for it.

[Jeff]

That's right. And put your 5XRP.

[Chip]

No one's ever done that before, Jeff. No. It's ever lost sight of where the freaking password is. So there you have it. Yeti's for everyone. Jackie, let's not get crazy. No, it's not gonna. Not losing our minds over this. All right, we're gonna pull it again. Here we go.

[Jeff]

Ready?

[Chip]

Let's go.

[Jeff]

Reroll.

[Chip]

Let's go, everybody. You're still in here. That's good.

[Jeff]

Stamp it in aluminum. That's a good idea.

[Chip]

Who's gonna win? Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom. Crypto wealth wins. Crypto wealth wins.

[Jeff]

Is crypto web still here?

[Chip]

You can use your wallet, I guess. I hope so. He fell. He didn't fall asleep.

[Jeff]

Crypto. Well, crypto wealth hasn't won in a long time.

[Chip]

It's been a while. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Very, very long time. And always comes in saying he's gonna win, be the number one winner. But it's super late. So it could be very well that crypto wealth isn't even around right now. He might.

[Chip]

Yes already. Dude, we can't see your comment on X. JCX put the cricket in the Mac. So he says the X. Yes, he said hopefully I won't fall asleep before the show starts. I'm pretty tired over here. He might have. We might have put him to sleep.

[Jeff]

We might have put him to sleep. That was that crypto world. Crypto. Well, but you might not be here.

[Chip]

I don't think we can give away a badass yeti tonight. Joe have.

[Jeff]

I know we're gonna have to roll one more time.

[Chip]

What in the hell people? It's getting me insane here.

[Jeff]

10.

[Chip]

All right, come on, crypto. Well, where are you, man? I think he fell asleep.

[Jeff]

I think so too.

[Chip]

Cuz he hasn't had a comment long time.

[Jeff]

It has been a while. What's the new rule? Roll again. He needs some badass yeti coffee.

[Chip]

I didn't see. I haven't seen him comment in a long time. I think he. He was pretty, pretty tired.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I think so too, Matt. All right, that's it. You are out. Time to roll again. We do need a. We need a clock. We'll do a like a 30 second countdown clock or something.

[Chip]

I can run a clock.

[Jeff]

I thought there was one in. Isn't there one a clock in the media asset somewhere? Oh yeah, look at this.

[Chip]

But there's no way not to make it full screen though.

[Jeff]

No, there isn't.

[Chip]

It's no good.

[Jeff]

No.

[Chip]

All right, let's go guys. Sorry, Crypto. Well, you're gonna play that back and you're gonna be so mad.

[Jeff]

Oh man. Here we go.

[Chip]

Three strikes you're out. Here we go. Ready? Let's go. Now you have a 1 in 16 chance. Ready? Let's go. Boom. Here we go. Who's gonna win? Somebody has to be present to win this thing. Come on, let's get it over with.

[Jeff]

What's that?

[Chip]

Zober wins. Jeff, check this sheet. It's over. Win recently within 30 days you help me and Josh.

[Jeff]

Yes. Yep. We tried to do.

[Chip]

Was unsuccessful. Jeff, check the. Check last time. Zober.

[Jeff]

One July. July 6th. So that's more than a month.

[Chip]

It's more than 30 days. Zober, please tell me you're here.

[Jeff]

Zober's here.

[Chip]

All right, Zober wins. It's been more than 30 days. All official. Dude, we congratulations on winning. We. We finally have a winner. We're gonna need your. I'm gonna turn off for A second. It's driving me a little crazy.

[Jeff]

Speech.

[Chip]

But we are going to need your zombie. We know you know how to get it. And yet Badass Yeti is yours. Thanks. Huzzah. Rigged. Still, you guys had three or four chances to win, man. Holy cow.

[Jeff]

That's how you can prove it was rigged. Because we keep rolling until we pick the person that was supposed to get it.

[Chip]

Yep, within 30 days. So it's been more than 30 days. You're in, dude. It's over. Pays to come and, you know, check out. I know. Buddy finally won after so long. Even boycotted it for like a month. But then he got in the game and then boom, he won. I don't see Buddy here today. There it is, Jeff, if you want to grab it.

[Jeff]

And I gotta go to the YouTube.

[Chip]

I gotta go to the YouTubes. The YouTube. So that's really exciting, guys. Fantastic. I gotta love it. God to love it.

[Jeff]

Let's see. Going to the YouTube for the big winner.

[Chip]

That is very cool.

[Jeff]

It's going to take me longer to go to the YouTube than it does. Have people transfer.

[Chip]

Well, we'll bulk transfer. We'll put eight transfers together in one. Let's go. Let's go, people.

[Jeff]

Let's give them all away. Let's do it all at once.

[Chip]

Let's do it.

[Jeff]

Wow, Everything's really slow for some reason.

[Chip]

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. It seems really awkward and odd.

[Jeff]

Let me see what I need to close to. There we go. Now. Now I got to go through base 44. You can build an app. Can build an app just by thinking about it. With base 44.

[Chip]

By the way. I told base 44 to build an app. And it did.

[Jeff]

And it did. Just by me.

[Chip]

Show it to you when we get off the podcast. That was a one guy operation, dude. And he just sold that thing for. I forgot, $60 million. $80 million.

[Jeff]

Man, he's living large. All right, here we go. Sending this over to. To Zober as we speak.

[Chip]

Sober, drop your handle. What is Sober's handle? We probably have it if he's won before. We probably already have his X handle.

[Jeff]

I'll have to look if he has one. I'm going to the ramen wallet.

[Chip]

The ramen rhymes with ramen. It says it was called the ramen. Get your ramen wallet.

[Jeff]

Get your ramen.

[Chip]

Does it have extra noodles?

[Jeff]

Let's do it.

[Chip]

I need extra noodles.

[Jeff]

Want some extra noodles with that?

[Chip]

I want some extra noodles with that. I want it to be noodly good. Jeff had no.

[Jeff]

Right. We are submitted and we are now gone. That's it. Zobert is now the proud owner of badass Yeti number 13 7.

[Chip]

And it pronounced the name perfect this time. We can't pronounce half the other, but it did get the name right. All right, guys, that's it. We are out of here. We'll be back on Saturday morning with another and Jeff will go. Saturday mornings are best time for Jeff's rants. He should be all caught up on sleep by then and should be back into get your Jeff rant.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

All right, there you go. Ramen wallet. Rhymes with zombie. Zombie.

[Jeff]

Ramen.

[Chip]

Ramen. All right.

[Jeff]

Recently. Anyways, he won on August 2nd.

[Chip]

Who did?

[Jeff]

Crypto.

[Chip]

Well, okay, so he wouldn't have been. You wouldn't have qualified anyway.

[Jeff]

Yeah, you disqualified.

[Chip]

I don't feel so bad for him not being here then.

[Jeff]

Nope. So that's all. Be back Saturday morning, 8:00am Eastern Standard Time, for all those who have not been here before. And if you haven't been here, make sure you have your Zaman wallet next time. That's all there. That's all we got.

[Chip]

And make sure you hit that, like, button and subscribe and click that notifier bell so you never get notified. Like, we don't. So there you go.

[Jeff]

I think the notification kind of went out.

[Chip]

I never get them anymore, Jeff. I don't know what happened to him. I even have to go back and check and see if I'm still subscribed.

[Jeff]

That's it. All right, guys, it's almost bedtime. Stay awake for one more hour to adapt to local time. When it's time for bed, keep the bedroom dark. If you can't fall asleep, just keep your eyes closed.

[Chip]

That's good advice, Jeff. I was up late last. I was up early this morning, too. I never went back to sleep. Okay, guys, see you on the next one. See you Saturday. Chip and Jeff. Oh.

[Jeff]

Oh. Are you down with otc? Please, like, subscribe and click the bell to be notified when the next video drops.
