Let's look through the website and conduct some research before leaping to conclusions. 🧐

🧐 They claim to have collaborated with the #UN and #WEF on project "#Yetta," but no mention of #DCMA, Unicoin, or UMU is made.

[12/16] β€” The interconnection β€”

From what I've gathered, this is most likely how it evolved over time in Mr. Hubbard's world:

1⃣ Yetta Blockchain ICO failed

2⃣ Yubi Stablecoin got no traction
> Rebrand to UMU

3⃣ Form. of DCMA to market credibility Source: https://dcma.io/uni...
[13/16] β€” Did the #IMF make any comments regarding #DCMA? β€”

There are no official remarks from the IMF addressing their position on DCMA and its stablecoin UMU.

[14/16] β€” Will this be the end of #XRP? β€”

No.
[15/16] β€” Summary & TL;DR β€”

I've rarely come across something that is so dubious and appears to be a fraud while yet having some sort of relationship to the #EU and #WEF.

πŸ˜‰ No financial advice.

What are your thoughts?
[16/16] I hope you liked this in-depth analysis into #Unicoin and #DCMA. My gut is telling me that it's something one should avoid.

[1/🧡] Tokenization, Ripple, Hidden Road & XRP!

A lot has happened in the last few days, and I feel like people don't really grasp the magnitude of what this means for the XRP Ledger. 🀨

Let's take a look at some numbers & address the topic from my beloved "1%" perspective. πŸ‘‡ Source: @Krippenreiter
[2/16] β€” 1⃣ Status Quo β€”

The XRP Ledger as it stands now handles around ~100 transactions per ledger.

If we assume a ledger to continuously close and finalize every ~4 seconds, this brings us to ~25 TPS on average. Source: https://xrpscan.com/metrics
[3/16] β€” 2⃣ Status Quo β€”

Besides TPS, there is also TVL and $-Volume that we can measure and take a look at.

TVL:
πŸ”Έ ~52,000,000 USD

24h USD-Volume (CLOB+AMM):
πŸ”Έ ~13,000,000 USD Source: https://metrics.tequ.dev

[1/🧡] Over the last few days, many newcomers have asked me one question, and one question only:

β€œWhat do I need to keep in mind if I want to hold my keys in self-custody on the XRP Ledger?”

My Answer?

β€œIt depends...” and here's why. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://map.xrpl-commons.org
[2/16] β€” 1⃣ Background β€”

Self-Custody doesn't simply mean holding your own private keys to control your own account on the XRPL.

There's also the psychological effect that is about personal responsibility for all that happens. Source: https://www.theexceptionalskills.com/take-personal-responsibility/
[3/16] β€” 2⃣ Background β€”

If something goes terribly wrong, chances are very low that anyone will be able to help you, at least as things stand today. (I'll try though πŸ€—)

πŸ‘‰ "Be your own bank" also has its drawbacks. Source: https://www.listenmoneymatters.com/infinite-banking-concept/

[1/🧡] XRP Ledger Vocabulary Overview ‼️

The greater the XRPL becomes and the more features are introduced, the more I feel that a dictionary is needed.

Let's start with 10 words you NEED to know. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVTybJ3cNyo&t=19s
[2/14] β€” XRP β€”

Digital currency that is secured by cryptography and supported by the XRP Ledger.

Also used for:
πŸ”Έ Transactions
πŸ”Έ Fees
πŸ”Έ Reserves
πŸ”Έ Bridging trades
πŸ”Έ Cross-border (Peer-2-peer) payments Source: https://xrpl.org/docs/introduction/what-is-xrp
[3/14] β€” XRP Ledger β€”

A decentralized blockchain that enables fast and cost-efficient transactions for processing and recording financial data.

Most important feature:
πŸ”Έ There is no single central authority Source: https://xrpl.org/docs/introduction/what-is-the-xrp-ledger

[1/🧡] The XRP Ledger is particularly superior when it comes to the fundamental task of moving value.

Although there are limits, we are about to overcome them big time! But how? 🀨

Follow me as I show you all the missing blocks πŸ‘‡ Source: @Krippenreiter
[2/15] β€” 1⃣ Fundamentals β€”

What makes the XRP Ledger so great is that "things just work". πŸ˜‰

To move value from A to B, you don't need a master's degree, because every single imaginable feature is engineered deep into the core. Source: https://xrpl.org
[3/15] β€” 2⃣ Fundamentals β€”

No matter if we talk about tokens, the decentralized exchange, escrow, or payment channels.

They are all tiny building blocks that a developer can put together to form the base layer of any solution. Source: https://smallbiztrends.com/businesses-for-sale-nationwide-right-now/

[1/🧡] A paradigm shift for the XRP Ledger is on the horizon ‼️

It's a future that's:
πŸ”Έ Programmable
πŸ”Έ Automated
πŸ”Έ Compliance-first

Let's take a look at some of the fundamental arguments and work out what this will mean for XRP. πŸ‘‡ Source: @Krippenreiter
[2/18] β€” 1⃣ Status Quo β€”

To date, the XRPL is a so-called β€œfixed-function” blockchain, which only allows new native features to be added to the XRP Ledger if the on-chain governance process votes in favor of it.

If you're a pessimist, you would call this β€œpermissioned”. πŸ˜‰ Source: https://xrpl.org
[3/18] β€” 2⃣ Status Quo β€”

But there are actually many benefits and advantages that support this approach, e.g.:
πŸ”Έ Battle-tested (i.e. Escrow, Paychannel)
πŸ”Έ Aggregated Liquidity (CLOB+AMM)
πŸ”Έ Automatic Version Upgrades
πŸ”Έ Higher Standards (More Audits and Performance Tests) Source: https://b2prime.com/mu/news/what-is-liquidity-aggregation-and-how-it-works/

[1/🧡] One of the more fundamental proposals became public today. It's a draft that lays out a path to an inheritance solution for the XRP Ledger. 🧐

In my view, this is so much more than β€œjust” an inheritance solution.

Let me show you what I mean. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://dailycoin.com/crypto-inheritance-what-happens-to-cryptocurrency-if-i-die/
[2/10] β€” 1⃣ What's the matter? β€”

The way I see it, there are some hidden aspects that make this really powerful and a true β€œPlan B” solution if you lose access to your wallet.

It's much more than a solution to claim the last will and testament. Source: https://eshimony-law.com/inheritance-in-israel/understanding-different-types-of-wills-in-inheritance-law-in-israel/
[3/10] β€” 2⃣ What's the matter? β€”

It's the Plan B that could be your lifeline if you voluntarily or involuntarily lose complete access to your funds.

Voluntarily? What? 🀨

Let me give you a few cool examples to clarify this. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://workalpha.com/productivity-starts-with-having-a-back-up-plan-in-case-disaster-strikes/
