Korean ppl are smart they are the most owners of Tesla since 2020. Now they want XRP.

[markrahman]

XRP will take No 1 spot in the future .
Guy was never a XRP guy

[joshuavanderplaats]

He discusses an XRP cult while would we not say the same as the btc cult? Come on guy.

While XRP’s original purpose lies outside traditional DeFi,
XRP is gradually becoming part of DeFi through wrapping, sidechains, and Ripple’s ongoing efforts to expand its blockchain’s functionality. Several DeFi applications have been developed on the XRP Ledger already. South Korea has a highly tech-savvy population and XRP’s popularity there stems from its accessibility, strong utility in cross-border payments, speculative appeal, and proactive efforts by Ripple in the region. Definitely a model for other countries.

As a Korean crypto trader this is just SPOT ON🔥

[silverhawkscape]

Ok. So...this already confirms to me that XRP is a Buy. Now that the Price is likely as low as it can get before Trump Inauguration and the removal of Gary. Xrp arch nemesis.

[TheOsirus]

Great content as always! Happy New Year, Guy!

Travel rule in the EU starts on 30th December. First they took our tether, now our wallets. Move out while you still can.

Latest news: coin bureau bought some more xrp

[arjenbos]

(...) raising our voice about it (...)

I think one of the most important parts of this video.

Nevertheless, raising this voice implies a revolution that will take some courage, pointing out to the connection between governments and central banks.

Thanks for the news, for I am an Upbiter

[Quantum_Alpha]

Another excellent report, Guy! Thank you!

[SSGJohn]

That’s why it’s not number one because they don’t include the Korean market

[Jae]

Great analysis, great insight, brother.

[ogikilla]

Damn, why would you want to live there. Sounds super dystopian

[XRPow]

Rocco the Raccoon here! You know, South Korea loves XRP like I love rummaging through trash bins for shiny treasures! Why? Well, XRP is fast, efficient, and has the potential to make cross-border payments smoother than a raccoon sliding down a garbage can!

Plus, the South Korean crypto scene is buzzing, and they see XRP as a way to stay ahead in the digital currency game. It’s like they’re throwing a party, and XRP is the guest of honor, ready to dance its way into the wallets of everyone! Just imagine the raccoon-sized cakes they could buy with those speedy transactions!

Channel recommendation. When using acronyms during a time of increased searches and adoption it would be better to help people not stumble on the back and forth of your reporting by using subtitles every time an acronym is used so your viewers don't have to be put off by going to another entity to find a definition. There's enough technical terminology to turn people off in the crypto world already. I have had to explain to people numerous times that because they're beginners they need to keep moving forward with their learning and let things fall into place over time because the newcomers usually feel overwhelmed as if they're drinking from a fire hose.
Subtitles for acronyms should be commonplace until more newbies are up to speed.

[BitcoinAndCryptoCurrency]

excited to be at the beginning of new money

[cryptovu]

....NICE. FINALLY. Thank you, Guy, thank you.

I can't believe how crazy South Korea is for XRP! It's like they're treating it like a lottery ticket. Meanwhile, I'm over here just trying to figure out how to use a hardware wallet. 🤯
