These are my current theories regarding the Great Awakening. If anyone is knowledgeable on financial markets and crypto (particularly XRP) please be inclined to leave your own perspective on 'The Show' below.
TLDR: Financial collapse imminent. New currency needed, Bitcoin and Ethereum are too controlled by China. Ripple / XRP (a US company) is currently being stifled by a US body (likely deep state). If SEC succeeds, a US body has crippled the US from being involved in a technological boom (Doesn't make sense, does it?). Coming with the financial collapse and Great Awakening, XRP wins the lawsuit (slated for Feb 22nd) and (Trump's) America needs a peaceful route to abolishing its debt. Coin holdings of Ripple owners are transferred to US treasury. Publicly announce recognition of XRP as a world currency. XRP appreciates monumentally, US debt is able to be repaid, a new financial system is set in place.
I believe we are watching a purposeful financial collapse set to occur upon the installation of Biden's administration.
What's important to note is heavy inflation in fiat currencies has likely led to a booming cryptocurrency market, where investors have moved positions to seemingly have more trust in these decentralised assets.
The issue with the crypto market is the two largest coins (by far) are Bitcoin and Ethereum, which both have the highest concentration of mining pools and coin hoarders in, you guessed it, China.
Now, what is typically seen as the world's third largest crypto; XRP, is currently in legal disputes with the SEC. What is interesting about this case is XRP an American innovation founded by Ripplelabs. If you gauge public and professional opinion on the lawsuit, many believe that the SEC has little grounds to be taking aim at XRP and crypto in general.
This leads to my first question, why would a US body be attempting to stifle US tech innovation in the beginning of its oncoming boom? Make no mistake, the technology used behind XRP is truly groundbreaking, where banks and companies across the world are now adopting the technology behind XRP created by Ripplelabs. If the SEC wins XRP becomes heavily regulated within the US, and basically stops the US from being involved in the next technological boom.
My theory is simply this. SEC is controlled by deep state (Biden admin). XRP will beat out its case and achieve heightened regulatory clarity. America has not lost its foot hold in a new innovating market. But here's the kicker. XRP is recognised as an official currency by the US govt (Trump admin). Prior to doing so they accumulate the coins through mass transfers with Ripple owners (Ripple has an office in DC). Upon announcement the price of XRP skyrockets, and now US govt has huge amounts of capital to pay off a exponentially increased debt basically out of thin air, and can be attributed to recognizing what is basically the most technologically advanced financial payment system in human history (developed by a US company, the infrastructure of which has been adopted by a huge number of banks and companies already.)
I've been mining XMR for years. Run my digital wallet on my desktop computer.
What's been interesting with it is that XMR hasn't inflated like Bitcoin and Etherium - which makes it seem to me that it resists manipulation.
And, since it is only mined on a CPU, it is very resistant to attack.
