XRP & ETH HOLDERS ARE SMART AF... CRYPTO NEWS TODAY

Crypto Mason covers market prices and two major stories: Iran's draft law putting the Central Bank in charge of crypto, and a BIS report showing Ether and XRP holders are the most educated crypto users. He argues government-linked coins are safer if centralization wins and criticizes influencers chasing hype over substance.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to all of the Gold Squad members. Uh, we look for gold in every single aspect of our lives, folks. Now we've got a good video today, a shorter one probably. Unless I go on some kind of tangent. But this is the daily market update. We are sitting at $1.47 trillion. Bitcoin $35,000, as you can see right there. We've got Ethereum $2,300, um, Cardano $144. XRP— I hate the $60 range. Like, at least get into the $70s on XRP. Um, yeah, so we've lost out the, the gains on Quant The gains on XD have kind of stabilized. Um, I think XDC might have actually listened to one of my tweets where I said you should stay above 10 cents. Stay above 10 cents. We got Quant above 80, Chilling above 80. Um, very good. Now Compound, I still haven't looked into it. The Graph is— I'm mid on The Graph. Synthetix, the Synthetix is great. Um, but that's what the market's looking like. $1.47 trillion, 45% Bitcoin dominance. Now let's move into some of the news. Only got a couple news pieces right here. Iran prepares a bill to centralize and regulate cryptocurrency use. This is important. This is important because honestly, I believe they may start to basically make this— make the decentralized systems just become the new centralized systems? Like, they're posing cryptocurrency right now as it's like, um, they're posing crypto as if it's against, uh, centralized systems, right? But what if, what if crypto just becomes the centralized system eventually? And it's so sad, it's so sad. But I think there will always— like, don't get me wrong, there will always be decentralized options for anyone who wants to do that. But the main systems are gonna be like either hybrid decentralized or something like that. But basically they're trying to regulate mining in Iran here. Um, they're trying to regulate mining. So basically, look at this: the plan involves making the Central Bank of Iran the primary regulatory body regarding the domestic exchange of crypto within 3 months. This includes plans to prohibit the exchange of any crypto within the country aside from a national one as means of payment. They're really trying, and they did something with mining as well, um, where basically they're controlled by the Ministry of Industry. I mean, they might, they might do this. I personally believe everything that's going on right now is simply to implement a new financial system. Right? Um, so we're gonna see, we're gonna see. But if, if the centralized systems do win, we're, we're investing in some of these ones that are connected with the government. That's the entire key. All you got to do, all you got to do, just invest in the ones that are government coins because those will succeed and will go up for sure. Um, yeah, here we have the Bank of, uh, the Bank for International Settlements. 62 central banks, right? The purpose is central bank cooperation. Founded on May 17th, of course, '17. We got headquarters Switzerland, of course, Basel. Even it's in Basel, Switzerland, or Basel, whatever. But look at this, they did a new report. Here is the report. I'm inside the report right now, and basically what this says Owners of Ether and XRP are the most educated in our sample, followed by Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin users. Conversely, those owning Litecoin are the least educated. So this is basically an indication of nothing, but it's super interesting that their sample size— and they made a point of like even putting out a report and stating that XRP owners and Ether owners are more educated than Bitcoin owners, which is— that's pretty obvious, right? It's kind of obvious to me. Like, usually uneducated people just drop their money in Bitcoin and let it go. But if you, if you had to drop your money into XRP, you must know a little bit about it. So that's literally all the news we have today. I was checking the news feeds and it's like, it's It's dead, folks. It's dead. Maybe that guy was right on, on my TikTok. He said crypto is dead, buddy. He said crypto is dead, buddy. I made a response to him. A3 XRP, look at what he says. Now that you've all diversified out of XRP into distraction XDC, follow the trends. XRP will launch. Where do trends come from? Why did every YouTuber interview an open source dev out of nowhere? Why now? XRP is ready. See ya. So I mean, first thing, I don't think XDC is a distraction, right? I disagree with that. I agree with follow the trends. I disagree with XRP will launch. He's trying to say in the short term I don't think in the short term it's going to launch. I think we must wait for updates on this lawsuit. But look at this. Um, why did every YouTuber interview an open source dev out of nowhere? He's talking about Quincy Jones. Because they get thousands and thousands of views. That's why these people are making ad revenue. Okay, that's what this is about. They do not care. They see him blowing up, they want an interview. That's it. It's simple. It's not because they're trying to— oh, all of the XRP YouTubers are, um, conspiring and wanting us to FOMO out of— or FOMO into XDC and get out of it. It's just none of this happening, dude. There's none of this happening. It's Quincy Jones gets views. He gets views if you put him in your video. He gets views. So that's what they're doing. They're making ad revenue and they're making the most they possibly can while actually providing you valuable content. So there's nothing bad about it. There's nothing bad about it at all. Um, and this dude says, good luck with your fantasy. In my opinion, XRP isn't doing anything until the lawsuit is done, and that is sounding like end of year. XDC is the real deal. Just ask Ramco, R3, ADGM, IFTA, a bunch of other acronyms. So there you go. Interesting that, man, XRP community is terrible with this, dude. Nobody's like— I'm telling you, Brad is not sitting around a table planting gematria numbers, bro, for you to read. That's not how this goes, dude. This is not how this goes. I feel bad for like David Schwartz because he has to look on Twitter and see all these people breaking down his stuff into numerology. When you read, when you decode XRP, you're not, you're not decoding something that man has made, right? Like a man is not setting up all these coincidences and logos meaning this. Barely, barely. You're usually reading the code, man. Just go watch my decoding videos. Go watch my old decoding videos. Jack the Rippler says the crypto market is a market which we never had before. You can't talk realistically about it. No one knows what is about to happen. What we know is that XRP will bridge currencies worldwide. Facts. Facts to this part, still half facts to this part, because we do not know, man. We do not know. Um, it is pretty obvious. My, my belief is strong in this part of it, but we will see. We will see. We will see what happens. R6 right here, people predicting dates like in 2025 utility will kick in. In 2025, XRP will be $1K. How do you know? Stop spreading false information. It's stupid and wrong. Nobody really knows what's happening behind the scenes and how things will play out. Facts to R6 right there. It's important to do this, man. You gotta zoom out of this. You have to zoom out of the echo chambers, okay? And when, when tweets like this happen, you need to look at them. S Winter, to end it off: XDC is ISO 222 compliant, hybrid blockchain, interoperable, sustainable, fast, efficient, decentralized global trade finance. Value is in the protocol. Easy, easy. That is all we've got for today. Thank you so much for watching. Short, shorter video, not much, not much popping off, um, but make sure you check the links in the description. Follow on IG, all of that stuff. Like the video, comment, and goodbye folks.
