🧳 What made me buy XRP — The rise of XRP was predicted 8 months ago. The "forgotten" XRP is experiencing a myth — a surge! 🆙 📈 Recently, the price of XRP skyrocketed, rising from a low of $0.48 a month ago to a high of $2.49, a fivefold increase. I placed an order below $1.9 yesterday, thinking there would be a chance for a pullback to get on board, but I woke up to find it had risen over 30% again! Moreover, trading volume on Binance has already surpassed BTC. 📜 Here are some non-mystical possible reasons for XRP's rise: 1. Favorable developments in the SEC lawsuit: The court ruled that XRP does not constitute a security in certain transactions, greatly boosting market confidence. 2. Potential regulatory support: New stablecoin RLUSD from @Ripple Labs may be approved by New York state regulators. 3. Technical and infrastructure upgrades: Continuous improvements in Ripple's technology, including optimizations of XRPL (Ripple Ledger), and potential participation from U.S. institutions. 4. Market recovery: The overall cryptocurrency market is improving, creating potential space for growth. 🥂 In the past 24 hours, two of the top five exchanges by XRP spot trading volume are Korean exchanges (Upbit and Bithumb)! 🧐 This suddenly reminds me of a prophetic video I dismissed as nonsense, which directly predicted the surge of XRP! This seer (remote viewer) made predictions 8 months ago, and besides XRP, many of his other miraculous predictions have mostly come true, especially his precise forecast of the details of Trump's assassination and future financial predictions. Today, I will elaborate on this. -------- 💰 ------------ 😱 Eight months ago, this person predicted everything! The video was recorded during a live broadcast in April, where three seers made predictions based on a solar eclipse in the U.S. One of them, Pastor Brandon Biggs, became an internet sensation for accurately predicting the details of Trump's assassination. Now, I will summarize his predictions related to the U.S. election from the video. ⚖️ 1. He saw Trump facing crises multiple times in the summer. One of them involved a bullet grazing his ear (the pastor pinched his right ear here), and when Trump stood up again, he had been reborn. 2. A new wave of patriotism will emerge in the U.S., and Trump will be re-elected. 3. Precious metals will surge, with gold prices reaching $10,000 and silver reaching $173 (gold has risen 14% and silver 40% since April). 4. The digital currency XRP will soar to $5, ultimately reaching $10,000 (the prediction was $0.4, currently $2.4). 5. An economic crisis worse than the Great Depression will come, and the dollar system may collapse, plunging the global economy into its darkest hour. 6. After the collapse, a good era will arrive, and the relationship between humanity and nature will become closer. 😲 It sounds fantastical, but many signs seem to be gradually emerging. But, it really is that fantastical 😏 ⬇️ The image below shows what this remote viewer saw in April: someone shooting Trump and grazing his right ear (Trump was shot for the first time in July). If interested, you can search for "remote viewer" yourself. -------- ⚠️ ------------ 💸 Global economic crisis? Collapse of the existing dollar system? The global status of the dollar is based on several factors (feel free to add in the comments): 1. The status of an international settlement currency: Most global trade is settled in dollars, and countries must hold large reserves of dollars. 2. A stable political and economic system: The strong economy of the U.S. supports the global credit of the dollar. 3. A global safe-haven asset: The dollar is usually a safe haven for investors during market turmoil. ⚠️ But these pillars are being challenged, and there are many signs indicating that the possibility of a dollar crisis is increasing: 1. Debt inflation 🌪️ • U.S. federal debt has reached $34 trillion, with daily interest payments exceeding $2.4 billion. • Over the next decade, interest payments on national debt are expected to reach $12.9 trillion, equivalent to twice the current GDP of Switzerland. 2. Accelerating de-dollarization 🚗 • China, Russia, the Middle East, and the EU are promoting local currency settlements and signing agreements to reduce dependence on the dollar. • Energy trade between China and Russia has completely detached from the dollar system, and this trend is spreading globally. 3. The Trump administration's response 🎯 • The Trump administration seems to have long been aware of the severity of the problem. He even proposed establishing a "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) and appointed @elonmusk as the head, hoping to delay the crisis by cutting government spending. • Musk's extremely efficient management style and ability to drive technological innovation may be aimed at preventing a more severe financial collapse. 4. Global economic recession pressure 🎲 • The high-interest-rate environment has increased the debt costs for businesses and households, and signs of weakness in the U.S. economy are evident. Non-farm employment growth has significantly declined, and the unemployment rate has risen to 4.3%. • The trust foundation of the dollar (low debt, high economic growth) is gradually shaking. -------- 🤔 ------------ 😱 If the dollar really faces a crisis, or even a brief decoupling, what impact will it have on cryptocurrencies? Note that the following are my personal irresponsible views and should not be taken as financial advice. Negative impacts 🚦 1. Stablecoin collapse 🛠️ • Stablecoins like USDT and USDC operate based on the dollar system, and a dollar crisis will render their anchoring mechanisms ineffective. The "stablecoins" in users' hands may become worthless. 2. Short-term market volatility 🔄 • A dollar crisis will trigger severe fluctuations in global capital markets, and the Crypto market will also be affected, likely facing panic selling in the short term. Potential opportunities 🎨 1. Bitcoin's rise to prominence 💫 • Bitcoin, as "digital gold," may become a safe-haven asset globally. Practices in countries like Turkey and Argentina have proven that Bitcoin is a tool for ordinary people to preserve wealth in the event of a currency collapse. 2. The rise of DeFi 🚀 • The collapse of the dollar system may render the traditional financial system unreliable, while DeFi, with its efficient and decentralized advantages, may become the infrastructure of a new financial system. • Compared to the cumbersome procedures of banks, the speed of remittances and lending in DeFi can even be measured in "seconds," which will encourage more people to accept this model. 3. Opportunities for specific assets like XRP 🪐 • The prophecy specifically mentioned the surge of XRP, possibly because its cross-border payment function can provide alternative solutions during turmoil in the dollar system. Ripple's deep ties with the traditional financial system may make XRP a bridge asset in special circumstances. -------- 👀 ------------ ⚽️ If the dollar really falls into crisis, we might see: • A reshaping of the stablecoin landscape: Which stablecoins can break free from dependence on the dollar? • Bitcoin's status further elevated, becoming a "global currency"? • DeFi gradually replacing traditional banks, becoming the main financial system? • Will assets like XRP really reach the heights predicted? I have no answers to these questions. Perhaps only time will tell us 😝😝😝.
