CryptoMason LIVE đź”´ XRP, HBAR, QNT, & More!
In this 2‑hour live stream Mason Versluis (CryptoMason) engages his global audience, walks through the latest Flare Networks developments for XRP, demonstrates how to stake XRP via the new FXRP token and earn roughly 8% APR, dissects the fee structure of the Upshift vault, and evaluates the emerging XRP prediction‑market ecosystem (Axiom, Polymarket). He warns viewers about common scams—impersonator accounts, phishing links, and unsafe wallet connections—while emphasizing the importance of spelling verification. A substantial portion of the stream is devoted to the U.S. "Clarity Act" and related crypto‑market‑structure legislation, explaining how it could affect institutional adoption of XRP. Mason also shares practical tax guidance for staking rewards in Canada/US, contrasts XRP ETFs with self‑custody, and promotes his consulting services, Discord community, and the proprietary XRP Exit Strategy platform. The tone oscillates between conversational, enthusiastic, and cautionary, reflecting Mason’s blend of education, community building, and personal opinion.
Chapters
All right, I think we are officially live. If you're watching this after the fact, please drop a like, comment your thoughts, and we are going to hopefully be live to the world right now. Yes, we are. I see it already. All right, let's get the chat up here. Welcome everyone if you're in here. Um, let me go and share the stream link so we can get some people flowing in here on this Sunday. Sunday. Um, how's the— is my quality fine? Oh, there we go. Sean Ryan, welcome. Craig Roberts, twos. Got some good questions coming in already. Am I done with Casper? I don't know, we'll find out in the stream. Uh, let me get this link out to the Discord, Telegram, everybody, um, and we'll get some people in here. You finally got alerted? No way! Are they gonna like me today or no? Does it take a Sunday to like me or something on YouTube? Jeez, everyone spam up the like button for the early people in here. Spam up the like button. Let's get this pushed out to some people and we can deliver the best Sunday live stream ever right here. I'm pushing this out to the Discord, Telegram people, um, and then we'll get to locking in on some dope information, okay? Some good information. Welcome everybody. I got everything set up before this time finally, right? I got everything set up before, like links and stuff, so this should be faster. You guys know I gotta boot up the spaceship again. I'm on my laptop still, so I gotta boot up the spaceship. I call this setup my spaceship, but I don't use the big camera anymore. Um, we are traveling soon too, so I'll be on the the laptop for videos and stuff. Okay, that's all out there. Boom. Welcome in, Reese, Peter. What's up? Um, how are you guys doing on this Sunday? Drop where you're from, where you're tuning in from in the chat. Final piece is to get this out on Twitter, and then we are good to lock in and start discussing some crazy crypto stuff that is happening. Uh, we've got a new XRP/Flare link to check out that they dropped, um, on their Twitter. So that's going to be interesting. And we are almost done. Boom! Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands, nice tuning in from the Cayman Islands. Everyone go and retweet that tweet right there. Let's get the tweet popping over there. Okay, Raymond, you said learned about you when my boy wrestled at Stanford and he knew I was big on crypto. He told me to follow you. Best crypto advice yet. Real Woods. Dang, you found out from a wrestler at Stanford. About my content. That is interesting. I'm sure everyone has their own little story of when they first found my videos because we've been doing this a long time, man. You actually just bought a good amount of Flare and XRP. We do have a link to check out. We're gonna get into it. Um, they are saying that we can go from holding XRP to using XRP. So finally it's becoming a thing where we can actually do things with our XRP finally, right? Instead of just sitting there waiting and, you know, excitedly waiting and thinking something's going to happen with XRP in the short term, instead we can now distract ourselves and actually do some stuff with it. So there's going to be staking, bridging, you can obviously trade it back and forth. I know some people do not like the idea of swapping their big cryptos into meme coins, but I can personally say I've made a lot of gains for my bags. Like, for example, Solana. I had a lot of Solana and I chose to break off a part of it so that I could trade some meme coins, and it ended up getting my Solana bag way higher. Okay, we got Australia. Who else we got? France, Phoenix, Arizona, nice. Denver, Texas, upstate New York again. South Africa is insane. Um, wow, people know about this stuff from everywhere, man. Crypto is really global. So yeah, it's the same XRP tokens. We can bridge, stake, trade, borrow, earn earn now. And we're going to look at, uh, the new link that Flare put out and see what it's about. Um, yeah, Clarity Act, uh, Clarity Act. What about the Clarity Act? Is it the end of DeFi for retail? No, definitely not the end of DeFi. DeFi can't end. It's decentralized finance. They actually cannot even shut it down. There will always be a way for us, uh, to— there's— there will always be a way for us to partake in DeFi. Okay, that's the key. They have to shut down the internet in your location for you to get, um, taken off of these crypto platforms. Isn't staking your XRP on Flare and airdrop a scam? Yes, there's a lot of scams being run with that. Just know, for everyone in here, this is the most important message ever so that you don't get scammed. The Flare airdrop ended like over a year ago, okay? Years ago. The Flare thing has been done. So if you see Flare airdrop, or if you see XRP airdrop, um, in one of your comments, like in the comments, or someone's DMing you about that it is complete scam. It is a complete scam. Okay, watch out because it's never— that's never real. There's no— that's not going on. That already happened a long time ago. Um, yeah, so DeFi will never end for retail in my opinion. They will always be able to— you'll always be able to use these protocols if they're decentralized entirely. So let's actually dive into the Flare thing, right? Let's actually— this is what I wanted to start with because this is some good stuff right here. So Flare put out this tweet right here. Look at this. Um, Flare says, from holding XRP to using XRP, right? And this really nice thing right here, same XRP, new capabilities: bridge, stake, trade, earn, borrow, right, lend, or whatever it said. And this is with Firelight. Now let's click this link. This is my first time clicking this that Flare put out, right? I obviously made sure that this was the real Flare account spelled correctly, right? I'm not just clicking random links. This is Flare Networks spelled correctly. Um, gold badges don't matter, by the way. Verified badges and gold badges, that's the scammers and impersonators can still fake those. So those don't freaking matter. You have to verify spelling. Spelling is the only thing that matters. There's only one way that they can spell this username, and it's Flare Networks, just like this. No added characters, no added weird stuff, right? We will talk about the Clarity Act in this stream. Um, I'm gonna do a live search. Make sure you guys remind me if we get into this Flare stuff and then I forget. Make sure you remind me, right? We're going to do a live search on Twitter for Clarity Act and we're going to go through some of the things that have been getting said because it seems to be all the rage right now. I'm bullish on the Clarity Act. Okay. I am on the same side as Brad Garlinghouse for the Clarity Act. He did a video saying his thoughts and he said that it's better than nothing. It's better than having nothing. Right. The crypto market structure bill. Is, is a separate one to the Clarity Act. But the Clarity Act— XRP already has clarity. You have to understand this. Who doesn't have clarity? Like the people at Ripple and the smart people around the XRP ecosystem. They already have clarity on what XRP is. It's the banks, the big hitters, like the big investors that they need clarity. They need to know what the heck they're investing in and if they're allowed to invest in it and if they're allowed to send money cross borders with a token and do all of that crazy blockchain stuff. Once they know that, then I bet the investments are going to flow like crazy, um, into XRP. Let's go look quick at the ETFs and then we'll get back to the Flare thing. We're at $13 million only today. $13 million flowing in, or sorry, volume, $13 million of volume on the XRP ETFs. But we will talk more about the Clarity Act. We will talk about the crypto market structure bill. Coinbase revoked their, like, um, their support for it, where Ripple didn't really revoke their support for it. Uh, okay, let's look at the link. Okay, so I made sure this is the real Flare, of course, and we're going to click their link. Where is it? Right here. Okay, ready? Boom! Let's see what this opens up to. Let's see what they're doing. Oh wow, who is that? What the heck? This is some kind of like— okay, what the heck? The XRP DeFi Awakening. Wow, and she's waking up right there with Flare. Bridge your— what does that say? Bridge your XRP and receive rewards. Put your XRP to work in DeFi. Non-custodial secure on-chain yield solution. What does that mean? That means we're going to be able to take our XRP in self-custody, so they don't have to custody it, they don't have to own it. Um, secure on-chain yield. Deposit your XRP, it's going to mint you an FXRP which is a 1-to-1 representation, um, and then you can use that with DeFi. How to mint FXRP. Wow, this is really clean. How to stake FXRP. This is super clean, right? Get FXRP now. So it's all about FXRP, right? FXRP, that's Flare, uh, Flare XRP. And you can see some of the rates right here. Um, what do we got? 8% 8 per— 8% on your XRP? Are you serious? Look at that. You can literally deposit your FXRP for the Upshift vault. Dang. And they've got $6 million in there right now. So let's do a calculation, right? Let's do a calculation. Let's— okay, what the heck? Can you see my calculator? No, you can't. Dang it. Um, let's use the Google one. Ready? Calculator. So, okay, let's calculate how much money people are earning right now on that? Okay, 6.26 million. So let's do this. 8% of 6.26 is— wait, 6.26 million. Come on, AI, come through. Oh yeah, $500K. So $500K, right? $500K. So the TVL, that's $6 million of XRP is locked in here. And they're earning 8% APR. Now obviously that is paid out in XRP, so if XRP is fluctuating, you are losing or gaining more rewards. You know what I'm saying? You're earning that not in dollars, you're earning that in XRP. So you have to remember that. Uh, Vancouver Island, very nice, you're tuning in from Vancouver Island. Um, you should do a breakdown of the coins you still— you held, still hold, but no longer believe. Yes, that's a— I'm taking a picture of what you said. Thank you for being active in the chat and coming up with good ideas. Um, I'm actually going to take a picture of that, man. That's a good idea. I'm going to do like an updated, like, you know, years later video. Like, years later, do I still believe in Corium? That's a good video idea. Or like, do I still believe in these old coins we used to talk about, right? So look at this, man, we've got 8%. I need to get my— some of my XRP in this, right? Um, geez, that's fire. Okay, I'm gonna bookmark that. So 8% you can earn on your XRP. I might have to do a video about that too. Now one other thing I wanted to talk about is um, the prediction markets that are going on with XRP. So Axiom— they are not paying me, I'm not sponsored by them, um, but Axiom Protocol, um, I think we have a link for this. Oh, it's still coming soon. Maybe they didn't launch. Oh, they launch in 10 hours. Okay, but this is literally prediction markets with XRP, so we're going to be able to put our money where our mouth is. Right, all these idiots, bro. Let me switch to my full screen for this. Hold on, hold up, folks. All these idiots who are predicting $100 XRP, $1,000 XRP by February 4th, right? All these crazy predictions. I expect them now to put their money where their mouth is. Take your XRP and bring it to the prediction markets and let's see if you're right, because I'm gonna bet against you every single time. I believe in a way longer time frame horizon, time horizon for XRP. It is not going to be fast to $100. There's a lot of stuff that hasn't happened in the world yet, man. There's a lot of stuff. It's not even beginning. The world isn't even ready, bro. Like, how can you not see this? And at the same time, we have AI apparently going to create a post-labor society where money as a concept doesn't even matter anymore. So what are you even valuing your XRP against? Why are we valuing our XRP against the dollar still? Why do we care about dollars still? Because we have to pay bills with them. Yes, but that's the only purpose. You're going to be able to live with your crypto and do whatever you want with your crypto, right? We need to be valuing crypto against crypto. Shout out Meg BZK, I love you. Look at her saying smash the like button. You better listen to Meg BZK if you don't listen to me. Smash the like button, smash the like button. Um, prediction markets are terrible for coins. Why are they terrible for coins? They're not terrible for coins. You know why? Because with an XRP prediction market, for example, I— let's say I want to bet 1,000 XRP on the outcome of an event. I have to go and buy 1,000 XRP or take 1,000 XRP, and I have to bet it on that prediction. You know what I'm saying? And then that prediction has to wait to come true. So for example, like, if I'm betting on the price of XRP at the end of this year, my XRP has to stay there until the end of the year. I don't have the option to sell it. So it's actually creating more locked XRP that can't be touched because it's tied up in bets. That's what we want in any crypto network. You— any cryptocurrency, any cryptocurrency, you want it to be tied up in the hands of people who won't sell. Do you guys want XRP to go up or not? Do you want HBAR to go up or not, right? Do you want Solana to go up or not? You know what's not good for Solana is stuff like PumpFun, technically, because PumpFun, they make all their fees in Solana and then they go dump it on the open market. They the Solana on the open market. It's billions of dollars, right? Hundreds of millions of dollars. They dump it on the open market. So with XRP, this is another reason that I haven't heard any of these dudes talk about, man. Nobody's talking about this. The way that if we get prediction markets rolling on XRP, people are going to tie their XRP up into bets that may take a long time to come true, right? Like, I just bet on, like, or I've been doing a lot of prediction market stuff, right? And some of these I'm like, wait, I have to wait until 2027 for that to come true. So my money is hedged, it's sitting in the prediction market. Fuzzy, what's up? Not Fuzzy, I see you got the, the member badge, so your priority. Fuzzy, XRP is going to be insane. I like it. I like fuzzy. Good afternoon, bro. Um, we want it to be tied up in the market. Now speaking of prediction markets, hold on, we— I found this thing, right? Predict, predict tools. And I'm gonna do, um, an IG, uh, Instagram video and a TikTok video on this. This is a great, um, platform where you can basically— it has all the tools, right? Like, this is a way better prediction market It's demo mode only right now, but it's basically a terminal for Polymarket. If you guys don't know about Polymarket, that's, um, Polymarket is basically the biggest prediction market in the world. But XRP is getting its own prediction market called Axiom, and I will have a referral link. I've talked to the team of these guys And these guys are good. Like, their platform looks clean, right? They've got all the sports betting. Obviously we don't want to mess with that. What I want to mess with is calling out people who literally predict wild predictions. I want them finally to take some of their hard-earned XRP, and I want them to stand on business on their predictions because I'm going to bet against them. Right, as soon as I see that those price predictions go on there, boom, I'm betting against it. It's not gonna happen. Okay, I will let you know. I'll be the first to let you guys know when I see something that will influence XRP's price. And there's not a lot of it happening right now. Actually, sorry, there is a lot of it happening right now, but it's just the initial bubbling of it. The initial bubbling of it. Uh, Lauren, you said, can I ask about Web3? I was told to connect my MetaMask to Uniswap. When connecting, I should enter my key phrase to connect. No, you are being scammed. Holy cow, how many times do I gotta tell you guys? Watch out, do not connect your wallet to anything ever. You are being scammed. That is a scam. Please watch out. Please watch out. That's just— do not connect to a, to a Web3, right? Um, do you think we should be listening to Jake? Jake is cool dude, man. We've talked and he's great. Just, I'm not a fan of the wild price predictions. Just, we can't do that to people, man. We gotta not mislead people. I want to be one of the only XRP channels that's actually spreading the truth. Like, we need to spread the truth, bro. And where's my hat at? I don't even have my Make XRP Great Again hat. I got my shirt though. Hold on, I got my shirt though. I got my shirt. Bring back common sense. Bring back common sense. Jake is the one who told you to do the key phrase. No, he didn't. You are talking to an impersonator. Impersonator. There are— yeah, obviously not really him. Exactly. Uh, what do you know about that dude? I don't know that dude. Um, what are my thoughts about Render? Yes, I am familiar with Render. I am familiar with Render. Render's a great token. Um, yeah, so okay, what did we— what were we covering before? We had Flare, XRP. You're going to— dude, you can get 8%, you can earn 8% on your XRP right now, right now on Upshift. Uh, which I've never heard of Upshift, and DeFi is pretty sketchy, right? DeFi is pretty sketchy, like especially yield farming. You can get, you can get taken out by— you can get taken out, man. Like the, the farm can slip from under you. So it's saying 8% right now, but tomorrow it could say 6%, right? Um, and then let me explain how this works. Let's get on the, um, let's get on the board right here. So I've got all my stuff mapped out. This is how I've been mapping out videos, right? So watch this. So we, uh, let's say we stake— I'm going to show you the potential earnings for XRP to stake it, right? Let's say we stake, uh, 10,000. Let's just work in dollars, right? So $10,000 of XRP. Now you're getting 8%, okay? You're getting 8%, right? Uh, which is $800, okay? So, okay, boom, you're getting $800, right? Earning $800 on your XRP. Wait, we got to make this smaller. So you're earning $800 on your XRP, but it is paid in tokens. This is the key— it's not paid in dollars. So even though you're staking with Flare, right, on the 8% vault, and you're earning 8%, it's paid in tokens. So it's not just boom, you get $800 for free at a stable value. It's paid in XRP tokens. So now XRP, that's actually daily, I believe, right? You'll see it going up daily. Now I don't know the terms of this. Like, here's Upshift, right? So let's see, withdrawal fee, platinum. Look at all the fees you're getting hit with too. A 10% performance fee, a platform fee, a withdrawal fee. Like, dude, come on, man. Is this DoorDash? Like, are we making XRP staking or are we making DoorDash, right? What are we doing with 3 fees? You got a withdrawal fee, a platform fee, a performance fee. This is why, like, dude, put me in charge of some of these crypto communities and projects, right? We built Sanji Terminal, which is our trading bot. We put 1 fee and we made it 1%. That's it, one fee, not three different fees. Is this freaking Uber Eats, bro? Is this Uber Eats? Now look at this, this is all going up. So over the last 30 days here, wow, this has been open for a bit, but I guess people are just now finding how to mint their FXRP. Um, if you guys want tutorials on this or a tutorial on this, hit the like button because I will do it. I will make a tutorial on how to do this, um, in my own words. I know certain other, other channels or like reading like this can be confusing, and I think I know how to explain this, uh, in a good way. Long time follower of you and Megan. With your advice, I have not lost any of my crypto. Nice. Oh, oh, Ryan. Yeah, yeah, I do know. Yeah, he kind of slipped away into oblivion, didn't he? NG4136. Um, there's other options for staking like Firelight, 40%. So Firelight is really good too. Uh, but where are you seeing the 40%? Is that right here? APR data is coming. Firelight is showing. Where's the vault? We have to connect. Okay, we can't really connect right now. Um, $50 million. Yeah, this must have a higher APR if it's got $50 million in it. Uh, can't you stake FXRP in Xamen? Yeah, you probably can. Yeah, they're probably gonna make that happen. I love that Flare is kind of being an ecosystem for everything right now. Very cool. Um, very cool. HBAR to 75 cents by the end of February, that's pretty crazy. That would mean that a lot of stuff is bullish. HBAR to 75 cents would mean that probably XRP is at all-time high again. Yeah, tutorial. I might have to do that. I might have to do a tutorial on how to do it and how to earn 8% APR, earning 8% on your XRP. Um, what other questions we got here? I'm trying to prioritize like the people with the little numbers by their name, right? Because those are the most active in the chat. Make sure you're getting active in the chat. Um, channel members as well are priority. Is Josh Nelson good just like you? Who's Josh Nelson? Who's Josh Nelson, bro? Um, Trust Your Assets, is this him? Trust Codex? Oh, I think I've seen this guy before. Yeah, real intelligent banker, right? Yeah. Um, I don't know any of his takes, man. I don't know what he's thinking. Good evening. Uh, let's see, you can lend XRP to Kinetic, man, super interesting. Do you earn XRP when you earn yield? Yes, it is paid in XRP tokens, so that price is going up and down, right? The price of your XRP is going up and down as you earn it, as you earn it. So technically, if you earn $1,000 from staking, uh, or yield farming, first of all, you owe $1,000 in income tax immediately, right? You should be selling also if you're going to take your rewards from staking. I'm not a tax advisor, not a financial anything, professional anything. I'm a dude on the internet and I'm in a room by myself with a camera. Okay, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's correct. Low key, like if you're staking and you make $1,000 and it's sitting there and you can withdraw it, you withdraw the $1,000 in XRP, what you should do is immediately sell that unless you want to hold it, right? So, but if you sell it, you now owe $1,000 to the— in income tax to the government, right? Like, that gets added on to your ordinary income. That gets added on, and you owe on that. Right? But if you hold it now and it goes up from there, $1,000 is your principal and you owe capital gains on anything that it grows up. Okay, it's really dicey. It's like super gray on what to actually do. It's really hard to know what to do. But the best thing, if you just want to make income from staking, is to sell it right away. Um, now, you know, most of you probably want to accumulate more of the main asset you're staking through this, right? That's probably what most you want to do is stake your XRP and then earn 8% more and, and get more tokens for free through that, right? So just be— so $1K off the bat and then capital gains. Yeah, it's $1K, right? Like, it's $1K in income as soon as you take it, and then if it goes up from there, it's capital gains, I believe. Like, that's how it works, which is insanity, right? I think it should be zero income tax on crypto. I think most of you probably agree. Uh, it should be zero. Uh, literally should be zero income tax on crypto. Okay, uh, let me go look through my likes on Twitter here because that's like my journal of what, what's been happening. The big thing was the Flare staking is huge. The prediction markets on XRP is going to be big. Um, so you can still exit the yield protocol but not cash out to avoid the capital gains tax? Yeah, basically, right? Because you're— you exit the yield protocol, um, but they tax that as earned ordinary income. At least where I'm— I'm in Canada, it's really similar to the States, to United States. So you can avoid the capital gains tax if you don't sell that. Right, so first of all, the asset that you're staking, you're not selling it, so it's not a taxable event, right? There's some places that argue that staking your XRP or staking an asset is a taxable event, which in my mind is just— that is the most dumb, delusional thing ever. Like, if there's no— if there's no sale of the asset, there's no disposal of an asset. If you simply stake an asset or yield farm an asset, there's no disposal. You're not disposing it for another asset. Therefore, there's no capital gain or loss. What are we talking about? I swear to God, if they try to make that a thing, I'm going to— I'm going to crash out on here, man. Um, so yeah, it sits there. That asset sits there. It earns you more of the asset, but they say you're making passive income or making income, so you've got to pay on the stuff you, you earn. So you technically have to sell a little bit right away to cover the tax, but then you can hold that, right? So I would recommend, in my opinion, this is if I was staking, um, and I would rack up a balance of the rewards, then I would take it all at once, maybe on the first of the month, right? And I would immediately shave off what I need to pay for taxes on that. I'd cash it all the way out to fiat currency, which is, yeah, cuckoo. Stupid that you have to do that. But current day, 2026, January 18th, the government still doesn't take crypto for crypto taxes. So you still have to get it all the way out. So you're off-ramp, right? Um, and honestly, if you guys want help with this, like, we're gonna start booking calls with people. Um, obviously you guys are watching me. I am the live real Mason right? Um, you know, I'm gonna put this— I'm gonna put the email here. I'm recognizing how many people need help because look at this, just in this live stream we had someone saying that they're getting messaged by a fake Jake Claver, um, and I had to tell them, dude, that's not Jake Claver, right? It's not. You have to check the spelling. The spelling is the only thing that matters, right? And I guarantee you, some of you in here— oh, did we get disconnected? Hold up, are we still good? Drop a yes or no, drop a yes or no, drop a yes or no, drop a yes or no. Are we still good? It says my chat just got disconnected, man. My chat just got disconnected. Are we good? Drop a yes or no. Um, we're good, we're good. Okay, let me try actually like, like turn my phone Wi-Fi off right there. You know what, we're gonna turn this off too. There we go. Okay, we're still good. So look at this, the only— this is the only real spelling, okay? That's the only real spelling. So there's impersonators everywhere. Like, if I type in @MasonVersluis, right, you'll see all of these impersonators. If we go here, you go to people. By the way, this happens to everybody. This isn't just like me, right? This happens to everybody who tries to make videos. But you see how they can copy my profile picture they can copy my profile picture, they can copy my name up here, but they can't copy the spelling of my username. They can even copy the verification badge if they wanted to, right? But they cannot copy the spelling because there's only one way to spell it. Yes, assume everything's a scam. Um, but if you guys want to inquire in I'm going to put this once more. That's the email address, um, and we're going to be doing like— if you have any question, like just anything, we're going to be doing booking calls of 30 minutes, uh, to ask anything basically and get help with anything. Cold wallet setup, right? If you want to get your Arculus or your Tangem wallets setup. It's super hard though because I need you guys to be smart. Don't click links from random people. Turn off all your messages on the platforms you use for crypto. Turn off your messages. That's so key. Um, I've seen way too many people get scammed, and we're gonna do this in a way where you can't get scammed because You can't get scammed. Just please be smart. Please be smart. Um, max yield you can earn— and by the way, we're not going to charge like thousands of dollars. That's insane to do that, right? We want to actually just help people. Um, and yeah, maybe we'll do a couple— like, we'll do a couple calls and then, you know, get some people really happy with the results. Um, and like, this includes like XRP staking and stuff if you want to get into it. Um, it's gonna be, gonna be awesome. But that email is like the early, the early, you know, inquiry if you have some issues with your crypto or you, you know, any questions. I've been in this for 7 years, right? I'm not a registered professional anything. I'm just like you. I'm just like you guys. I just love crypto. Um, tell your old lady to check her email, business inquiry. I will tell you, is that actually Crypto Keeper or like the Crypto Keeper from TikTok? I like the spot. I— okay, Coop267, you said I like the spot crypto ETFs over actual crypto. Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but it takes away many of these issues. Absolutely, the ETFs take away a lot of the issues, right? Because you get to just own it in your bank and you just get to chill while your bank manages it, um, and when the ETF provider, they manage it, right? So that takes away a lot of the issues. But what I will say is, if you're investing in an XRP ETF, you don't own that asset. Like, you can't participate in everything we just talked about with staking XRP, yield farming XRP, right? You can't, um, like, you can't participate in that because you don't actually own the ID. Like, you don't actually own the asset. So that's where you relinquish your freedom. And I want to get you guys set up on these, right? Like, we have the Tangem wallet. Link is in the description. They don't pay me. I'm not a sponsored— I'm not sponsored by Tangem, but we do the affiliate program. So basically, you, when you buy a wallet, uh, you, you get a discount off of the wallet. So you get money off of the wallet and we get a small kickback for setting you up with the Tangem. And then Arculus is an actual sponsor of my TikTok page, um, but we don't even have their link in the description because guess what? They don't even— they don't provide anything for us. They do provide a discount, but I'd rather support Tangem because they treat people like me on the internet who make videos better. Right, um, it's all fiat, fiat payout. What do you mean? Uh, you sent an email? Okay, also from Canada, sick. Um, hopefully you sent it to the right one. I hope more collective consciousness awaken rather than XRP going to $100. See, that's the side effect of XRP. The side effect of XRP is that it's awakening people. The side effect of XRP is that it's making people wake up to what's going on with the banks, the central banks, the Federal Reserve, the money supply, the national debt, the everything. It's making them wake up to everything. So if even if XRP doesn't go up, it still is a vessel for spiritual growth. And yes, I'm calling that stuff spiritual growth because it literally is. You're breaking spells. Like you're breaking, breaking away spells that they've put on you to just think this is normal, that we print paper cash out of thin air. Like, that's not normal. What's normal is growing food. What's normal is cleansing water for your tribe and your community. What's normal is farming and hunting and gathering. That's primitive normalness, right? It's not normal to have the whole world playing a game where they wake up for other people and have to be at a job for other people, right? Now, it enables fun things, like people have to have jobs, right? And shout out to the 9-to-5ers, 'cause I love you guys. You guys are the ones who make the world go round. Like, nobody has anything unless there's those people working jobs, right? But ultimately, you have to admit the money thing is not natural. It's not a natural thing. It's natural for humans to gravitate towards economy, I think, and kind of want to trade and barter, but that's where it should stop. It shouldn't be a paper currency that we print out of thin air. It should be things that have utility, and that's why we love utility coins, right? Will you be coming to Vegas this year for XRP Vegas? No. I don't think so. We kind of stay away from the conferences, you know. I want to put my, my energy into growing my family and my businesses and being on here for you guys and helping. Um, we're expanding the Discord a lot, a lot. We've got the XRP Exit Strategy software we created. It's for members only. Link is in the description if you want to get the Inner Circle membership. Highly appreciated. We love all the people in there. It's a good group. It's like almost 300 of us now. Yes to gardening. Our food system is broken. Grow your own food. Absolutely grow your own food. I love that. All of that movement is, is also part of the XRP community. People are waking up to that. Um, People are waking up to that. So yeah, we got the XRP Exit Strategy platform. It's pretty sick. You can, um, generate your cumulative exit curve on XRP. You can plan your exit strategy. You can even make it so that you have no exit strategy in there and put reminders on why you're not exiting, right? Because I made a video yesterday Um, it didn't perform very well, not a lot of people saw it, but I revealed my new XRP exit strategy and went over the whole thing, um, about why I'm not selling until much later. Now, um, you basically get access to the PA without needing to worry about wallets or getting your crypto stolen or exchanges going offline. Also, some do have staking rewards. Yeah. You get access to the price action without needing to worry about wallets and all of that. It's, you know, to each their own. Like, you can be in the ETFs or be in self-custody land where you own your assets. Excuse me, a lot of people are also like, uh, paranoid about— excuse me— them getting their XRP confiscated. Uh, confiscated XRP. Isn't that insane? Like, and that happened with gold, right? What was that event called? Uh, the Gold Confiscation Act, right? The gold Executive Order 6102, 1933. Um, they made it illegal for Americans to own most gold. They required them to sell it to the Federal Reserve. Okay, um, that's actually insane, right? For $20 to $60— $20.67 an ounce. Um, and then they raised the— bro, this is messed up. Like, like, no wonder no one cares or has faith in the Federal Reserve anymore. They literally bought it. They forced the people to sell it. They bought it at $20, and then they raised the official price to $35 an ounce. Uh, Reese Spinola, you said the patience indicator is the best. Awesome, I'm glad you're, uh, you're in there using it. We're gonna have in 2026, we got more premium indicators are going to be added to your membership, right? So the membership, um, cost stays the same and you get more for the same price. Same thing with Gold Squad. Gold Squad, uh, Tier 2 membership stays the same, but you get added value to it. So is it a security? No. It's not a security. Um, so yeah, a lot of people are like worried about XRP confiscation, and yeah, it could be a real thing. Crypto confiscation, Bitcoin confiscation could be a real thing, but they can't enforce that because of things like this— self-custody, right? When you have your assets on, um, or you know, securely stored. Securely stored. These cards have nothing on them. These are just my ones to feature in videos and stuff. I should get more of the cool designs on my Tangem wallet, but you know, I don't have the cool design one. Um, okay, any last questions? We are going to wrap this up in a bit here. Let me know if there's any last questions. That you guys have. Um, yeah, we're just here. How about selling percentages of gains versus selling overall? Uh, Coop, you gotta watch my exit strategy video. I talked exactly about that. Um, that's the main strategy. You have to ladder out. Laddering out, right? You have to ladder out because what we want to do is minimize regret and maximize profit. Regret is a huge thing in crypto. I have so much regret with certain decisions I've made in crypto. Everyone does. No one can play it perfect. Um, no one can play it perfect. Oh yeah, Clarity Act, we're going to talk about that. So you have to sell percentages, uh, you know, overall. And inside of our XRP exit strategy platform you can set those price targets and then note how much percent you're gonna— or how many percentages you're gonna take, um, with a reason why you're selling at that point, right? Maybe I'll show it to you. Let me see something here. Let's do this. Um, just came from David Wilcox's channel. Yo, who's David Wilcock? Is he like— is he dope? Like, is he shouting me out or something? David Wilcock. Um, okay, yeah, yeah, Clarity Act. We're gonna talk Clarity Act. Um, let me do my live search, right? Clarity Act. Um, I also want to see who David Wilcock is. Um, YouTube. David Wilcock. This is him. Holy cow, he's like a spiritual guy or something. Yeah, he's a spiritual guy. How'd you come from him? Did he mention me or something? Um, look him up. He's the woo-woo stuff. Okay, dude, I bet I'm more woo-woo. Guaranteed I'm more woo-woo, bro. Have you seen my other channel? Watch this. You guys don't even know about the spiritual channel, man. This is for OGs only right here. You guys don't even know about this channel. You guys don't even know about this channel. Decoding the Super Bowl, decoding Beyoncé, decoding Travis Scott, decoding Let's Go Brandon. Lady Gaga decoded. You are the Wizard of Oz. Some of the most legendary road rants of all time, folks. Only the real ones know. There's about 4,000 of you that know about that only. Um, okay, why does it say my chat disconnected again, man? Final thing, let's go through the Clarity Act. Um, So, you know, Ripple Bullwinkle says the Clarity Act just got amended and buried in the fine print as a new category called ancillary assets. Yes, ancillary, this weird term. Um, translation: tokens may trade as commodities, but issuers face disclosure burdens and DeFi platforms become enforcement choke points. Crypto risks being permissioned, not outlawed. Uh, let me know in the chat if we're still good. Drop a yes or no. I think we're, um, dropping frames a bit. Drop the link for the channel. Um, okay, here's the link. That's the link for the channel. That's the link for the channel. Oh, he introduced you to Bitcoin. So we risk being permissioned. Yes. And Keith D's great. Yeah, he's great there talking about Clarity Act. Um, if stablecoins are allowed to pay yield under the Clarity Act, deposits could migrate out of banks into digital dollars. Yes. Um, I believe that's what they actually want though. They want to vacuum all the money out of crypto— or sorry, out of the fiat system. They want to vacuum it into crypto. That's what they want to do. Um, so Clarity Act. What else? The Clarity Act is the nationalization of crypto under the guise of consumer protection. Yes. It is. I call it the final handover of DeFi to the same banks that nearly broke the world in 2008. This bill was never about protecting investors. It's about protecting incumbents from anyone who might actually disrupt them. In the end, clarity simply means that the old money finally figured out a way how to own the new money legally and forever. 100%. Yes, that is what it is. Okay. And this guy's trying to say that's a bad thing. But you guys know, if you want your assets to go up, this is what goes on. We can't do it without them. We have to merge with them. It's so unfortunate. But that's why I side with Ripple and XRP a lot is because we— it's not an anti-bank thing. It's a new age bank thing. Um, so David Gokstein says the current form for Clarity Act should not be passed. Um, Clarity Act should be one page. Instead we got a 300-page— whoa, okay— terms of surrender form. Um, here, this was Brad saying that— can we actually play this? Hold on, is my OBS gonna be weird here? Hold on, let me mute for a second. Perfection.
I think clarity is always better than chaos and the industry needs clarity. Perfection. I think in my experience, like, is the market structure bill that's pending in the Banking Committee, is it perfect? No, certainly not. But is it better than nothing? Absolutely. And I think we need to continue to work constructively with Washington to to get and to iterate what is already sitting in front of the Banking Committee to make it better. But we shouldn't give up now.
Do not give up now, he said. Um, yeah, so ultimately I think it will pass. It will be good. It will be good overall. Uh, remember what I said, XRP doesn't need clarity. The people and entities big entities that want to use XRP, they need clarity. So thank you all for watching. My chat is cutting in and out, it's weird, but I appreciate all of you. Drop a like on the live stream. Um, we're going to be running another like members-only live stream too in the Discord very soon. Um, yeah, new videos coming. Definitely, I highly recommend checking out my XRP exit strategy video. So a lot of gems just in terms of how to think about, are you gonna sell your XRP one day, and preparing for that and some of the implications of that. But I appreciate you all. Uh, remember, we've got, um, you know, we're gonna start doing consulting style stuff and services at the, the email. The only real email. I'm telling you, if you get scammed, it is completely and entirely your fault. Completely and entirely your fault. Okay, don't send your money to— don't send your money to random people. Do not answer DMs. Turn them all off on Discord. Turn your DMs off on Telegram. Do not fall for impersonators. There's only one way to spell all my usernames. Never give your seed phrase to anybody, and don't click random links. Don't connect your wallet to anything. Don't believe any comments— all comments— unless they're in the live chat, literally. You assume all comments are scams unless they're in the live chat. That's it. Okay, appreciate all of you. Um, I'll see you in the Discord. I'll be hanging out in there. You can tag me, ask me stuff. Peace out, folks. I love you, every single one of you.
