XRP whales have been bag holders for years as the SEC lawsuits against Ripple (XRP) have dragged on and on (and kept XRP locked in the doldrums). I'm quite sure there are many of them eager to finally exit their positions in spite of the ultra bullish nonsense they spout on X.

Those words would carry a lot more weight if the pardon were limited to the those offenses instead of being a blanket that covers all the malfeasance of their Ukraine shenanigans from 2014 through 2025. As it is, that reads like a poorly veiled excuse for CYA over the laptop contents and Ukraine influence peddling / money laundering schemes.
If he hasn't been active on X either, it seems more likely that life has interfered with all internets activity. I hope all is well with him. Going dark like this generally isn't a good sign.

I bought a tiny bit a few months ago. It's on a bit of a run right now as expectations are rising that the SEC lawsuit is going to be dropped. I'm a bit conflicted about XRP though. They are really trying to ingratiate themselves with banking authorities to build/enable a CBDC.
Separately, I have to wonder how XRPs tech measures up (scalability, security, decentralization, etc.) against newer systems like SUI and EGLD.

Never thought I'd see the day where this issue blew up, but toady's the day!
Marc Andreessen appeared on Joe Rogan's show and talked about Operation Choke Point 2.0. Now it's starting to go viral and people that had no clue are learning about it.

This is the post Elon Musk referenced (not shown in the embedded tweet, but visible on X if you click on the tweet):
^^ Passes the smell test from where I sit. His resignation shortly after the AG announcement made no sense until it came out that the investigation results weren't going to be released because he stepped down.
Correct. You don't need Coinbase One unless you plan to trade *a lot*. Coinbase One offers lower transaction fees on buying/selling/(trading/swapping), so if you are dealing with large values or frequent/high volume actions, you might save money using it, but most folks who are just starting or dabbling will do just fine with a basic Coinbase account, which is free.
