It doesn’t make sense that Lake Baikal has 23% of the world’s freshwater. More than all the Great Lakes combined.
Mathematicians saying AI is solving math problems wrong reminds me of how swimming elites in the 1800s viewed Native American’s freestyle stroke as grotesque.
Find someone who daydreams about you like @ashgoblue daydreams about XRP.

Nothing gives me more confidence that legislation is going to pass than everyone anxiously posting multiple times a day that the legislation is gonna pass.
A blockchain that mines new blockchains instead of new blocks. Infinite chains. Infinite tokens. Who’s building this?
Bridges are hard
We are aware of a security incident on @Liquid_BTC. Purported white-hat hackers have withdrawn ~4,000 BTC (~$320 million) from the Liquid Federation wallet. The @Blockstream team is working on contacting them on-chain with a signed message.
What we know so far is that the funds were withdrawn via the SideSwap PAK (Peg-out Authorization Key), but that key was not compromised, nor were any others.
Exchanges have been notified and have already paused (or will pause) LBTC deposits and withdrawals. Other Liquid assets such as USDT, DePix, and RWAs are unaffected by this security incident.
Bridge nodes have been temporarily disabled, so no new transactions can be submitted to the network. Effectively, the Liquid sidechain is paused until this issue is resolved.
Liquid wallets will be impacted, and we're sorry for any inconvenience. Federation members are actively working on resolving this so we can restore normal network activity.
You can monitor the situation via @mempool's liquid.network site below:

At 250% collateral requirement, this is a dumb move. With a regular mortgage, if you walk away, you lose your down payment. With this, you lose 2.5 times the value of your down payment.
RLUSD on XRPL:
We just crossed $1,000,000,000 in $RLUSD supply on the XRP Ledger.
In addition to other stablecoins on XRP like Braza Bank's USDB, Societe Generale EURCV, Circle USDC, Schuman Financial EUROP (P-DEX users!) and many others.
Compared to 2y ago this is a night and day difference, we made tremendous progress and it's accelerating exponentially.
The XRP Ledger loves issued assets, it's a decentralized exchange at the core that leverages the digital commodity XRP.
XRP fam, let’s all pool our resources together to buy this and name it XRP Island.
I am selling my island in Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania. Gorgeous place, but we don’t use it enough. $7.9 million or best offer. Anyone interested should contact me directly at [email protected]
