XRP Will Be Bought By Blackrock!? 😱 Huge XRP News Today - HBAR, ALGORAND & More!

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today we are back for another market update. This one is a big one, folks. XRP and BlackRock— is this really happening and is this going to happen? We're going to talk about it because there are some huge rumors being spread across XRP Twitter. We're also going to talk about the like 4 Algorand announcements, 4 crazy Algorand announcements. I believe we've got some HBAR stuff, uh, and some very, very interesting stuff. So make sure that you watch until the end of the video, drop a like and comment, and let's get straight into it. All right, so hopping in, let's take a look at the general stats here. We are at $1.05 trillion on the total market cap. Very low volume today at $23 billion across the entire market. Bitcoin dominance, uh, just below 50% right there. And the Fear and Greed Index is 38 in fear. We've got Tomy, TON coin. This is Telegram's coin. We're going to talk about an interesting Telegram bot in a second here. TON coin, uh, could be one to watch, folks. That is a, uh, an interesting project connected to Telegram right there. We've got Arweave, uh, we've got Maker, VeChain, some of the top gainers today. Uh, VeChain recently listed on Coinbase. Uh, we did see XDC getting a little bit of a pump happening as well. Um, you guys can see, you know, right here we did go up to 5.6 We're back down now. Uh, XDC has had a great year, 108% up, uh, and we've been in this thing since 1 cent, folks. So let's take a look at the Bitcoin price right here. As you can see, we are cleanly bouncing off of the $25K, um, support level that we set back in June. As you can see, we touched it many, many times, these 3 with wicks. And these with the actual body of the candle. Uh, so I know, like, I hope we go back up, right? I hope to God that we pump back up and we can go to $28K and grind up, uh, to $30K. But there literally is no telling. Uh, we do— we will need a catalyst for that to push us up. Um, but as I tell you guys, watch the $1 trillion level. Um, let's take a look at that right now actually. Uh, so let's go to crypto total market cap, uh, on TradingView, and let's click see on supercharts. And boom, this is what we're looking like, right? Uh, 1 trillion. We're still toying with it. We did have the dip below, but I'm telling you, this fast recovery to get right back above it is a very good thing. It is a very good thing. That makes me, um, That makes me pretty confident that we can actually do something like this, which would be amazing, right? And head back up to 1.1 and above. Now let's talk before, before we get into any of the new stuff, because we got lots to talk about. Me and Megan are doing a Karate Combat watch party. This is a live stream. We couldn't make it out to the, um, the event in the Dominican Republic. Flights were just too crazy, but this is going to be an amazing event. I'm going to link this in the description. Set your notifications. This will happen tomorrow, um, I believe at 4 PM, uh, PST. Whatever the time is, it will show it for you right there. So hop in, enjoy the Karate Combat event with us, uh, tomorrow. I'm going to be placing my bets on the fights if you guys want to see those. Uh, if you guys want to see those, uh, you can see them in our sports chat in our Discord where I always post my UFC bets, any sports bets, uh, and there's a lot of sports talk in there. Now before we get into, uh, the interesting Telegram bot that I'm going to show you, let's talk about Jason Casper. This dude is a YouTuber and he got $700,000 worth of crypto stolen from him last night. Okay, to the person that hacked me and stole my money, I pray God blesses you. This is insane. That's almost $1 million stolen. Uh, insane, insane. So it can happen to anybody, and that's what I want to drill home. Make sure your stuff is safe, uh, and secured, folks. Now let's talk about the HBAR news, and then we will show you an interesting thing, an interesting Telegram bot here. The Hedera Governing Council has just announced its decision. And by the way, the XRP BlackRock talk is coming soon, uh, in this video. HBAR Council, Governing Council, has just announced its decision to separate the roles of chair and president. Okay, they have separated these roles. So Brett McDowell, um, who currently serves in both roles, has been reelected as chair for an additional 2 years. As part of this process, the board has created an executive search committee to lead the process of appointing the next president of Hedera Hashgraph. So they are out there looking for the next president. Of Hedera Hashgraph LLC. Now, the interesting thing I want to mention and remind you of is Hedera Hashgraph LLC is Google, it is Boeing, it is the governing council. So with all the governing council members, they all have to become part of this LLC. So when you say the word Hedera, right, you're referencing all those corporations in that big circle. Okay, now let's talk about, um, let's talk about Algorand. Okay, Algorand has 4 amazing announcements here. The first one is that Taurus HQ has integrated, um, or sorry, sorry, uh, hold on, Deutsche Bank. Okay, that's who we're talking about. Deutsche Bank, the largest bank in Germany and the 9th largest in Europe, has just teamed up with Taurus HQ. Okay, so Deutsche Bank oversees $1.3 trillion in assets. So this is huge, huge news. And the crazy part is that Taurus HQ integrated with Algorand last year. So this is one of the big pieces of news coming out with Algorand. Obviously it is an indirect connection, right? I always talk about these layered connections where you have Deutsche Bank then you have Taurus in the middle, and then you have Algorand. So it's not Algorand and Deutsche Bank together, it's Algorand and Taurus HQ, and Taurus HQ is with Deutsche Bank. Okay, so moving forward, Algorand has also announced a new investment into a wallet app called Deafly. Deafly, I think it's called. Uh, so they are helping Deafly build out a Chrome extension. Uh, and you know, this is some big news. Algorand really does care about their ecosystem. They dish out money to the projects building on Algorand. Um, awesome to see. Now the next thing is the biggest piece of news in my opinion, which is they are evolving to a peer-to-peer gossip network. So kind of similar sounding to HBAR's gossip about gossip protocol. Um, but you know, this is crazy. This allows them to not require relays while maintaining finality and block time and introducing consensus incentivization. So this is furthering them towards true decentralization, which is very cool. Big, big announcements coming out for Algorand. You know, who got into that dip, like lowest price of all time in the Algorand history. So next thing we're gonna talk about is actually a platform called Megadice. Now Megadice, you can find the link, uh, to them in the description. Megadice is one of the casinos, um, online crypto casinos that we play on, uh, on the Gold Squad channel. Now obviously gamble responsibly and all of that, you know, don't use money you can't afford to lose. But Megadice is a sponsor of today's video and they have an interesting Telegram bot going on right now, so you can join and get a 200% bonus up to 1 whole Bitcoin plus free 50 spins, 50 free spins. So I'm going to leave this link in the description, um, but the Telegram bot, all you do is open it up, uh, in your Telegram, right? And boom, you click, you type /start or click the button, and boom, you can interact with the Telegram bot. And all you got to do to get the bonus is make a deposit and you'll get some free spins, a deposit bonus. But these are very cool. There's a lot of integration with Telegram. And big shout out to Mega Dice. If you guys want to watch our last stream where we actually won $8,000 on Mega Dice, you can go to the Gold Squad Kick account, uh, kick.com/goldsquad, and watch that, uh, live. It was crazy. We actually won a lot of money on Mega Dice. So Moving on, let's talk about Corium, and then we'll get into the beast of this video, which is XRP, bro. Corium has just launched the IBC, Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol— or sorry, they have, they have launched, um, an integration with IBC. Okay, so Corium's integration with IBC currently supports 5 prominent Cosmos SDK-based chains, uh, chains through active relayers. So Cosmos, which I'm also bullish on. I don't talk about it too much on this channel. I wish I did more. Uh, and then Osmosis, which is also in the Cosmos ecosystem. Then we have Evmos, Axelar, and Gravity. Uh, so, you know, Corium, awesome project. Go check them out. And this is some big news for them. Now, Ripple has just been announced as a main sponsor for Massari mainnet. I've always noticed that Ripple and Masari are like this. They're want— they're like tight, right? The CEOs like each other and everything. But this big event happening in New York, uh, Ripple is a bronze sponsor. Very cool. Uh, this is third tier. Uh, so, you know, stop— everything you post is breaking. Stop your exaggeration. Shut up, folks. Like, this dude, Hanyo, come on, bro. This is breaking news. It was announced. But they hate the breaking tag. I get it, I get it. Uh, you know, bronze sponsor, they just paid for it, right? Nothing too crazy. But let's talk about the actual crazy stuff, bro. BlackRock rumored to shift crypto focus from Bitcoin to XRP. And you know, I'm back to dispel some more bullshit coming out of the XRP community. Uh, you guys know I absolutely love XRP. I've been holding it for 6 years, but I've identified that there needs to be a lot of realism and realisticness injected into the XRP community because some of you guys are missing out on, on hundreds of other opportunities to build wealth, uh, through cryptocurrency by just putting every dollar you make into XRP, right? So one thing you guys got to realize about XRP, this is the the 3-day chart is, you know, this thing, this thing is going to take a while to make you gains, right? Like, if you bought in here, it was a perfect time to take profit when they won the lawsuit. This is the spike. We went up to not even a dollar on the spike. So that was the perfect time to take profit, right? But now, if you missed out on that opportunity, guess what? We're right back where we started. Right? So this accumulation period proved to be profitable. That is a confident— or sorry, that is a, um, positive thing I will say about XRP price action, is accumulating XRP anywhere within here, right, proved to be profitable, uh, within the year, which was very cool to see the spike off the XRP lawsuit. Uh, it's so funny because people Some people were expecting to go all the way up here, right? All the way up there off the lawsuit pump. But that is what we got, right? So the thing here is, uh, you got to be careful with that. So that was my preface, just saying I love XRP, but there's a lot of bullshit. Now this is the bullshit. This article is based on nothing, okay? It is based on a rumor, and the rumor is based on speculation. That's how you know it's just stupid, right? So they basically are saying that changes in the regulatory environment, um, are, are affecting BlackRock's investing strategy, and they're saying that BlackRock is going to move to investing in XRP because it has clarity. Now here's what I'll say: the underlying message of this is true, right? A lot of banks were hesitant to use crypto tokens because of the regulatory environment. There's no clear guidelines that say if a bank is allowed to use these for their services. So with the changes and the clarity that XRP gets, I can see someone like BlackRock getting— wanting to get more involved in that asset because the SEC has deemed it not a security. However, there's nothing to say that this is affecting BlackRock's strategy. This article is based on complete nothingness. And this is really— oh my goodness, we just, we just found it, folks. This article was generated with the support of AI. Are you kidding me? So this is an AI-written article. Investing.com is canceled to me. I will never ever go on investing.com for news after this. They have a lot of great other resources, but news— they're generating their articles with AI, folks. Look at this. They have to disclaim that. So complete bullshit right here. Let's actually try see what the comments say. Uh, I can't see— oh, here's the comments. Uh, this would be great if it was true. That is the whole essence of, of some of the XRP community. Now let's keep it moving into another bullshit article, uh, which is this $10,000 XRP thing, uh, basically, uh, based on nothingness, right? This is based on a guy called Lord XRP, um, who many people have pointed out can't really even spell, spell things in his tweets, uh, yet he has websites like newsbtc.com like making full-on articles out of his tweets. Um, but then this one, this is a different one that had come out today. Pundit says currency reset is needed for XRP to break $50. Uh, and this is a tweet from Zach Rector. Uh, he says, I don't believe in 10,000 XRP because I believe we have a currency reset and debt restructuring before achieving such high prices. They might have to reset everything before we even break $50. The question would then be, how high will XRP go before we have a reset? Now, a couple things I agree with in here. And I've been saying for years, is that for XRP to even reach crazy prices, there are a lot of changes in the world that need to happen. Instant payments needs to be implemented across the world. The whole financial system has to be renovated for XRP to ever, ever reach those heights. And do we see that type of stuff happening? Yes. Is it happening extremely slowly, like everything in banking and regulations? Yes. Okay, so Zach is right here. Um, and yeah, I don't believe in $10,000 XRP either. That is very, very stupid. And a lot of you are going to be like calling me names off of that, and that just shows you that you are brainwashed. It's so unfortunate. Uh, but the reality is that last bull market, we didn't even— we didn't even break the previous all-time high, right? We didn't even break it. Okay, now where's the chart that has all the data? Is it Bittrex? Yeah, here's Bittrex. So if you guys— secret piece of alpha— if you turn the Bittrex chart on, they are the only ones who have tracked, uh, or I think the only ones that have tracked the data all the way back to 2017. So as you can see, this was the big run-up in 2017, and this was what we got in 2021, and this was what we got off the lawsuit. Look at the stepping stones downward, diminishing returns, right? Diminishing returns, which is just crazy. So if you believe that this thing is going to $10,000, a lot of world changes need to happen.
