Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, everyone out there in the on the Chain community. What's going on? Ship, Good to see you. Good to see everybody joining us. We got an amazing show because tonight on the Chain we're looking at a series of developments that show the global system may actually be starting to crack. Now this is going to be interesting. Ripple and the XRP infrastructure continues expanding and as real world utility begins or builds, continues to build flare. Actually, man, they're, they're doing things that are just unimaginable. And we see the introduction of the smart contracts, the smart accounts allowing the XRPL users to access smart contract functionality. This is really great. On the XRPL ecosystem. Coinbase pushing deeper into financial markets with new trading innovation. Meanwhile, regulators in the banking lobby are fighting so hard to maintain control. At the same time, Chip, you know what's going on. Geopolitical tensions across the us, Europe and around the world are exploding. They're exposing serious fractures in the existing ecosystem.

Yeah, and the big question for tonight is the old system breaking while crypto infrastructure rises? Let's find out. Welcome to on the Chain. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Drinking the espresso. Having some drink. Beverage, guys. Where are you coming in from tonight? Is it espresso number one in here? Beautiful art on the lake is in here. Everybody else will be piling in here pretty soon.

So what I'm, I'm really liking, I mean we've seen. I'll pull up a post by Hugo Fillion from, from Flair. And now I'm gonna. We're gonna pull up a post by Luke Judges and Luke Judges is the middle management over there at a, as he says in his, on his description, a bank called Ripple. I like you calling the bank on his own thing, says it's his own opinion. But this is interesting when you start seeing this from crypto leaders and you start seeing them just kind of speak the truth. But here, look at this. Luke Judges says now there's a story here about. It was on Sky News, UK NHS hospitals urged to reject a 330 million pound data platform partly owned by a Trump ally. So Luke Judges Says, yeah, reject efficiency, choose idiotic bias. Right? So and so if you dive a little bit deeper to see what this story's about, Jeff, this is what it all comes down to. NHS hospitals are being urged by a group of doctors, Jeff. Human rights groups and campaigners to reconsider using a major data platform built by US tech giant Palantir, whose owners include Peter Thiel, a close ally of US President Donald Trump. Come on, Jeff, really, I mean this, I mean this. These people can't even defend their country and they're whining like school children, like school girls. School girls are tougher than this. Peter Teal, meanwhile, one of the, one of the biggest, best, almost dominant platforms in the entire world, but just reject it because, oh no, Orange man is Palantir. This is crazy. A 330 million pound solution. But who's telling them? The hospitals? Is it the, is it that we, the people? Is it Britain's?
