I can’t stand this guy’s face. Who gives a shit. Let shitcoiners shitcoin. If Bitcoin could be “undermined” so easily I wouldn’t be invested in it.
Give this man all the mics.

Just called my reps. Let's keep up the pressure.
Jack’s got it right—Ripple isn’t here to preserve freedom or prosperity; it’s here to ensure control. Here’s the truth they don’t want to admit: Bitcoin is the strategic reserve. Not just for the U.S., but for the world.
Government can go fuck itself. No SBR.

Strong voices among the community are important.. thanks for laying it out .. SBR is a no brainer .. wtf has Ripple to do in this ??
Are you serious? You're siding with the creature of Jekyll Island just because people hurt your feelings online today? That's weak.
This is why the SBR is a bad idea. The US government should not have a sovereign wealth fund because it is fundamentally communist in concept and in action. If you thought fiat was communist, a SBR is far worse and sets an unamerican precedent.
I give a shit, Bitcoin doesn’t need @jack mallers but we’re all better for his advocacy and efforts to enable folks like myself to be able to avoid living on a fiat standard. We’ve all shitcoined at some point, and it makes sense that our government leaders are too. What stinks is that we’re being dragged into this shitcoinery as citizens of the United States. In this case, this really gives everyone a reason to give a shit.

He lays out right in his spiel why it isn’t going to happen. For the past 100+ years we’ve been enslaved by monetary trickery. They aren’t just going to give that up all of a sudden. I don’t understand the desire to be accepted by the system. The whole idea was to opt out of the system.

You do realize there are cryptos that solve real world issues? Bitcoin maxis are undermining the crypto space by imposing their belief system onto others.

Love you Jack, but every nation state will die the same death over the coming decade. Yes. America too. It’s time. Mass centralised governance is ending. Bitcoin is assuring it. Alleluia
If you’re reading this, write your representative and senators. At least make someone in their office read your opinion on the issue. Use grok, chatgpt whatever. It takes 5 mins.
It’s funny that you thought you had a choice. Go write your congressman. Tell him you’ve had enough. Fucking bitcoin strategic reserve. I can’t with this nonsense. The United States Government as issuer of the world’s reserve currency is utterly antithetical to Bitcoin. The level of hopium in this crowd is unreal. They’re gonna pump their friends’, donors’ and advisors’ bags and call it a day. They’re not out to solve the problem of fiat debasement. The entire system depends on it. The dollar is King Shitcoin. Yeah, the United States Government had a come to Jesus moment with bitcoin. It’s up to us now to make sure they make it to the finish line. Gtfoh. I hope they buy all the shitcoins and forget Bitcoin even exists. Until five seconds ago any Bitcoiner would have derided the parasitic state and its fiat token, now they’re begging to be included on the balance sheet.

Maxis are dramatic. What happened to "bitcoin doesn't need you?" Same applies to the US. Bitcoin is not the be all end all. May the best solution win. Cry harder.
Na, you got a great face, Jack...the one God gave you! That was not cool. Glad to hear you say Bitcoin will be fine no matter what because that is bottom line. I feel same as you the way the way Trump is playing this talking XRP and Solana...doing his Kayfabe thing!
They don't plan on paying, they want a one world government. BTC is our solution, they can piss off.
We don't need the government to own Bitcoin to increase prosperity of a nation's individuals. Increasing education on why individuals should adopt Bitcoin as a personal monetary standard, which @npub1ex7m...vyt9 helps tremendously to do, will do that all on it's own. Bitcoin imposes the new economic system on the world, whether they adopt it now or later the end result is the same. Plus, the longer they take to adopt it the weaker government gets and weak governments foster prosperity while strong governments hinder it. It's just noise. I'm not worried about it, and neither should you. As @Lyn Alden says, "Nothing stops this train".
Trump may be loading up on XRP from all that cash he just made on his shitcoin. He has immunity to act at will as an actor.

Ther is actually a BTC office supported by bitcoiners in DC. I forget who they are but they spoke at El Salvador AB24.
Send the guy some money, if you outbid the Ripple guys I’m sure he’ll accommodate.

Ripple is faster. That’s why. Bitcoin was designed to be a store of value while XRP was designed for efficient transactions at scale. The one that will be selected is the one that is perceived best for commerce. Make the argument, don’t just moralize.

The debt is $36 trillion. Ofc they can’t pay it with btc or anything else. The value of all real estate in the US is only $47 trillion. The dollar is the ultimate shitcoin

What people see in Ripple still boggles my mind. To me it always was and always will be the shit coin of all shit coins. Let me put it this way, if my only choices were Fartcoin and Ripple, I would probably take Fartcoin, because at least it would give someone a laugh.

Rabbit 🕳 is deep. They laugh at you, then they fight you, then You win. We are in the fight you state. 🎯 Don't let them do it. When Innovation meets the dumb brain dead humans on earth. This is what they do all time lobbying and calling it an innovation 💡

Money matters podcast tomorrow will be interesting!! Can’t wait!!
Strong take, much of which I do agree with, and to be honest I’m still wrestling with all this. I understand that lobbyists purchase politicians votes, and those that spend the most move the needle. Ripple sees an opportunity, I don’t blame em for what they’re doing. Is this not an opportunity to create awareness and oppose? Would a business as usual mentality not demonstrate weakness and defeatist messaging? I agree that we need to make sure our own house is in order first, but at what point do we get off the sidelines and into the game?
We’re not players in this game, imo. Create all the awareness you want. I just find it naive to think that anything other than fat stacks of cash or the prospect of fat stacks of cash are going to influence this particular situation. There’s no, “listen to us; ours is the virtuous position!” that’s going to matter. And Jack empty shelves Mallers and all of the other influencers put together won’t move the needle one damn bit. This whole affair reminds me of when Saif tells people to “vote harder.” We got Ross, chalk that up as a W and move on. I believe that in ten years we’ll look back and be thankful that a bitcoin only strategic reserve never came to fruition.
