$XRP a $10,000???? Because #DonaldTrump is going to create a cryptocurrency fund...NOOOO! I AM NOT AN EXPERT! but it is not feasible for Trump (or anyone else) to buy XRP at $10,000 USD per unit, at least in the current scenario.
XRP is currently around $0.60 - $2 USD (depending on volatility). For it to reach $10,000, it would have to absurdly increase its market capitalization, surpassing not only $BTC but the entire global economy. That is practically impossible.
If someone were to buy XRP at that price, it would mean they are paying much more than it is actually worth in the market, which would not make sense. What could happen is that someone buys a large amount at a low price and waits for it to rise, but $10,000 per XRP is a ridiculous number in terms of real economy.
Could it reach 5 USD? siiiiii! even up to 10 USD who knows? Would I like to buy XRP? yes, of course. but I don’t have the money to buy it, oh well. let’s see others make a lot of money when it goes up to 5 USD which will be very soon! this is not financial advice.
For SIX YEARS, we’ve mined. We’ve believed. We’ve built a community from the ground up. And now? A huge chunk of our hard-earned Pi might vanish—burned forever.
Why? Because some referrals haven’t completed KYC. Not our fault. Not our choice. But our loss?
Imagine waking up one day to see a massive portion of your mined Pi gone. Just like that. No reward for loyalty. No appreciation for years of dedication.
This isn’t just about tokens. It’s about trust. It’s about the countless hours, the hope, the commitment we’ve poured into this project.
🔥 Should the #PiCoreTeam rethink this? 🔥 Should miners be penalized for an incomplete KYC system? 🔥 Should loyalty be met with loss—or recognition?
This isn’t just another crypto update. This is about us—the Pioneers who made Pi what it is today.
If you believe in fairness, speak up. Tag the #PiCoreTeam. Let them know our time, our loyalty, our Pi—MATTERS.
💬 Drop your thoughts below. Let’s make some noise.
If your AI doesn't distinguish between XRP and Ripple I don't see the point. It's like telling you that Mr. Sanders created the KFC chicken recipe.

#XRP I asked an AI about the CEO of BITCOIN and XRP and this was the answer 👇🏻
For those who say XRP is better than BTC
AI's response about BTC:
No, Bitcoin does not have a CEO in the traditional sense. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency, meaning it is not controlled by a single entity or person.
AI's response about XRP:
Yes, XRP (Ripple) has a CEO. The company behind XRP is Ripple Labs Inc., and its current CEO is Brad Garlinghouse.
There was an error on coinmarketcap, from where Binance gets the price of tokens.

Did anyone have the maga coin on Web 3? Did anyone notice that despite the price spike when one would try to convert the conversion price was much less? Does anyone have any explanation for such an anomaly? Thank you in advance for future replies
Beware of scams... I "stupidly" but very professionally had all my xrp stolen, more than 4000 xrp... :( I filed a complaint and tried to connect with some companies to try to recover at least the amount but I think that won't work for us. If you ever have any good tips, I'm interested... I've been keeping them for 3 years... in short, beware of scams.
Incorrect because once the first purchase is made $100 will give less and less tokens so you will have to put more $100 or increase the number of buyers.

BTTC has a total of 990 trillion tokens, with a unit price of $0.00000115. If the community organized itself so that each investor purchased $100 worth of tokens, it would be necessary to calculate how many investors would be needed to purchase all the available tokens. With $100, each investor would purchase approximately 86,956,521.74 tokens. Dividing the 990 trillion tokens by the number of tokens purchased by each investor, it would take approximately 11.39 million investors to exhaust the total supply of BTTC tokens.
With AI the internet is really no longer for the unaware over 40s

French Woman Falls for AI Brad Pitt Scam, Loses €830K and Divorces Husband
French Woman Duped Into Fake Romance With 'Brad Pitt'
A 53-year-old woman from France, identified only as Anne, was swept into a web of deception when she believed she was having a romantic relationship with Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.
The scam, which began in February 2023, ultimately led Anne to make life-altering decisions, including a divorce from her millionaire husband and the loss of €830,000.

— AlertesInfos (@AlertesInfos) January 13, 2025
How Did the Scammer First Approach Anne?
Anne’s ordeal began when she received a message on Facebook from someone posing as Pitt’s mother.
From there, the situation quickly escalated, with the scammer impersonating the actor himself.
Anne, eager to believe the relationship was real, communicated only through text messages, as the so-called Brad Pitt was always unavailable for phone calls.
In an attempt to further convince Anne, the scammer sent her AI-generated videos of Pitt, reinforcing the illusion of a genuine connection.
btw french twitter/tiktok is going crazy over the story of a middle aged woman who got scammed by a brad pitt catfish into sending him 800k€. these are some of the photos “brad pitt” sent to her 😭 pic.twitter.com/xIulN4GJPB
— lovebird (@loveeebirddd) January 13, 2025
Despite the lack of voice calls or in-person meetings, Anne believed that she was in a relationship with the famous actor.
A Proposal That Led to a Costly Divorce
As the online romance deepened, the scammer proposed marriage to Anne.
In an impulsive decision, she divorced her wealthy husband, believing she was about to marry the star of “Fight Club”.
Afterward, the scammer claimed to have purchased lavish gifts for Anne but needed more than $9,000 to cover the customs fees.
Trusting the fake Pitt, Anne provided the requested sum, unaware of the deception unfolding.
More Manipulation: Fake Illness and False Promises
The scammer's manipulation grew more sophisticated as he fabricated a story about needing urgent treatment for kidney cancer.
He sent AI-generated images and videos showing Pitt in a hospital bed, which played on Anne’s emotions.
non french oomfs you’re missing out on an insane documentary that came out today where a woman was scammed (MORE THAN 800K😭) by a brad pitt impersonator and THIS was the type of pictures he’d send her 😭 pic.twitter.com/wQcufl4P9c

He also claimed that his ongoing divorce with actress Angelina Jolie had left him unable to access his own money, further convincing Anne to send additional funds.
By this point, Anne had already sent large sums, believing she was helping the actor in distress.
Realisation Comes Too Late
Anne’s world came crashing down when she saw recent media coverage of the real Brad Pitt, alongside his new girlfriend, Ines de Ramon.

The images made her realise that she had been a victim of a scam.
She had been duped into believing the romance was genuine and had lost over €800,000 in the process.
Authorities Investigate, While Anne Struggles with Severe Depression
After filing a police complaint in 2024, an investigation was launched into the fraud scheme.
Anne is currently receiving treatment for severe depression in a clinic, coping with the emotional toll of the scam.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working tirelessly to track down the perpetrator.
Celebrity Impersonation Scams Surge
This month, both Johnny Depp and Kelly Rowland warned their followers about growing online scams, where fraudsters impersonate celebrities using advanced AI technology.
Depp revealed scammers are using AI to mimic his face and voice, urging fans on Instagram to be cautious about fake requests for money or personal info.

A post shared by Johnny Depp (@johnnydepp)
Though Brad Pitt is not among the top targets for cybercriminals according to McAfee's 2024 report, scams impersonating celebrities are becoming increasingly common.
Fans are advised to stay vigilant, especially on platforms like Facebook, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
Similar Scams Involving Brad Pitt Identity Reported in Spain
In September 2024, Spanish authorities arrested five individuals involved in a similar scam that also used Brad Pitt’s identity to extort funds from unsuspecting women.
According to reports, the scam in Spain led to losses exceeding €330,000.
Police recovered part of the stolen funds and seized items used in the operation.
As the investigation into Anne's case continues, her story serves as a chilling reminder of the lengths to which fraudsters will go to exploit the trust of vulnerable individuals.

🚨 Attention $XRP Community! The clock is ticking with just 24 hours left for the SEC to appeal in the @Ripple lawsuit. If they miss the deadline, the appeal could be dismissed!

I'm new to this. I saw my investment drop from $53 to $43 within a week, and it’s discouraging. I was considering investing 10-20% of my salary into crypto each month, but now I’m second-guessing. Should I still invest? Is it safe to hold crypto for the long term, like 1-2 years? Also, could you recommend some coins that are relatively safe for long-term holding?
- The US government accepts Ripple at least on par with Ethereum and Bitcoin. - ETF approved for XRP - SEC satisfied with Judge Torres' decision and no longer presses Ripple - Major exchanges accept RLUSD - Ripple goes public as a public company. - At least 20% of the world's banks make payments using Ripple's blockchain technology. and tell me that after all this, XRP will not give x10 of today's price. The question is not if, the question is when. It will not be tomorrow, it will not be easy. It will be through pain, decline and liquidation, and the only question is whether you, a trader or an investor, are ready to wait a long time or want everything at once and tomorrow. Personally, I see a price of $23 and I am ready to wait. $XRP
We have heard that BRICS will most certainly adopt XRP as its official currency, just like the rumors concerning the ECB for several years, nothing is official.
There is no point in crying wolf before the time. We are aware of the potential of $XRP , but governments have no interest in revealing their game before the end of the project.
On the other hand, XRP is already associated with one of the largest banks in ASEAN (CIMB Bank).
Ripple has obtained a full Major Payment Institution (MPI) license in Singapore.
They are also partnering with Onafriq (African mobile payments provider), which will use XRP technology to facilitate financial exchanges between Africa and several countries such as Australia, the UK and the GCC
1 - Pool imbalance: An AMM maintains a balance between two assets in its pool. When asset prices change significantly, it can throw the pool out of balance. For example, if the price of one asset increases significantly relative to the other, the pool may consist largely of the asset that increased, creating an imbalance.
2 - The impact on Exchange Rates: The AMM adjusts the exchange rates according to the balance of the pool. When the pool becomes unbalanced due to price changes, exchange rates may become less favorable for liquidity providers. When they withdraw their assets, they might get less than they expected due to the imbalance.
3 - Currency risk: Liquidity providers are exposed to “currency risk” because they hold assets in the pool. If the price of an asset decreases after they deposit their assets, they will incur a loss when they withdraw their assets from the pool.
4 - Arbitrage by Traders: Traders can take advantage of pool imbalances by carrying out arbitrage operations. This can result in rapid movements of funds in the pool, impacting liquidity providers.
So is this really a problem? I think not #pasunconseilfinancier . Because if $XRP must be used for transactions by financial institutions, they cannot take the risk of leaving room for great volatility in the price of $XRP . The public clearly does not have the billions that will be injected by the institutions to guarantee liquidity so we will not be able to extract them either since the liquidity is blocked.
This is why a price will be set at $XRP , a bit like a stable coin but very, very expensive.
All you have to do is choose the second token of your pair (wink)!!
It will soon be possible for $XRP holders to earn passive income.
Apart from classic “staking” (the act of blocking your cryptocurrencies to receive rewards: free tokens), which are used to validate transactions or provide/guarantee the liquidity of a project…
XRP-Ledger sets up AMM (Automated Market Makers).
They are like automatic machines that allow people to trade digital assets in a decentralized manner. Each AMM has a “pool” of assets, and users can deposit their assets into this pool to earn tokens representing their share. In exchange, they can earn fees and vote on certain rules.
When many people trade assets in the pool, it can make money for liquidity providers. However, if asset prices change a lot, this can cause “losses” to liquidity providers.
AMM automatically adjusts exchange rates based on pool balance. The more assets in the pool, the better the exchange offers. Fees are levied on each transaction to reward liquidity providers.
The tokens that people receive for depositing assets can be exchanged or used to vote on AMM rules. There are also tips like temporary fee reductions. However, there are risks, such as price changes and limitations on the types of assets that can be used.
In summary, AMMs provide an automated way to trade digital assets while allowing people to make money through the provision of liquidity.
Following the SEC's complaint against Ripple in December 2020, impacting the price of $XRP are we moving towards the end of the trial...or do we have a few more years?!
In order to increase suspense and predict emotional (or manipulative) movements, here are the dates:
The Court examined the parties accordingly:
- By February 12, 2024, the parties must complete their defenses/attacks related to the appeals;
- By March 13, 2024, the plaintiff (the SEC) will file its brief regarding the appeals;
- By April 12, 2024, the defendant (Ripple) will file its opposition if they do not agree with the SEC's request; And
- By April 29, 2024, the plaintiff (the SEC) will appeal (if they do not agree with Ripple's proposal).
The main date here is April 29 as you can imagine. Either the SEC and Ripple reach an agreement, or the SEC will ask to extend the trial.
For the moment we know that the judge ruled that XRP was not a security. But the SEC is demanding that Ripple pay $770 million for violating securities law.
Despite its obstinacy, the SEC is gradually withdrawing its complaints against the company Ripple (in particular those against the directors of Ripple: Chris Larson and Brad Garlinghouse).
Do you think we will see an end to this trial at the dawn of Bitcoin halving or do you think we will be here for a few more years?
For your part, are you selling or accumulating while waiting for April?
Are you patient enough to avoid uncertain projects? !
A small list of tokens regulated via the ISO20022 standard…but first, what is ISO20022?
This is the new international standard for the exchange (or messages) of financial data. It defines a standardized format for the exchange of information between financial institutions to facilitate transactions and communications.
An example 2+2=4 everywhere we go, if the whole world had agreed that it would be 8, it would have been the norm.
The list of cryptocurrencies known to date respecting the new standard in terms of exchange, security and interoperability (system allowing exchange between different platforms in a harmonious and efficient manner):
XRP (XRP - not to be confused with Ripple which is the company created after XRP but which offers XRP or Xrapid technology) XLM (Stellars) HBAR (Hedera) DAG (Constellation) QNT (Quant) XDC (Xinfin) ALGO (Algorand) IOTA (Miota) LCX (Lcx) ADA (Cardano) XVG (Yard)
As the SEC continues to maintain its stance against Ripple, the $XRP token is far from its true value. Many supporters have already left the ship due to their impatience, others are hoping for a big drop to buy some at a lower cost.
Some are skeptical about the number of existing tokens and the capitalization which is already high. However, what is often forgotten is that $XRP will be used to carry out stock market transactions quickly and securely for central and private banks, while XRP remains at a low price the quantity of XRP necessary to carry out large transactions will be enormous and the quantity of tokens will be quickly exhausted, this is why once the trial is over the set price will be reached quickly... the more expensive XRP is the less XRP will be spent to carry out the transactions which will guarantee the sustainability of the project .
Now will the price of XRP fall? I dare to think: "absolutely", because banks, institutions and whales (the holders of large portfolios), will be happy to sell so that confused people will sell in turn and once the price falls freely these whales will buy back not 1000s and 100s like us but by millions or even billions of dollars pushing the price of XRP to an unimaginable amount faster than we imagine!!!
The best thing for average investors is not to play haphazardly but to try to gradually accumulate them with each fall #pasunconseilfinancier in order to have as much as possible before the end of the trial.
In the meantime it’s always a pleasure to see $XRP #bullish
How to participate in Binance AirDrops!? Airdrops are the distribution of tokens or coins, which you will receive for free if you meet the eligibility conditions.
Whether it is AirDrop on already existing tokens or AirDrop for project launches, Binance indicates them either in the announcements (which you can find by clicking on the small bell at the top right of your screen): Annonces or on their home page in the banners that scroll.
In order to be eligible for AirDrop, you simply need to read the eligibility conditions and, if possible, put them in place (do not invest beyond your means - this is friendly advice, not advice). financial advice). Most often it is enough to hold this or that token which will entitle you to AirDrops.
For example, for the Binance launchpools which have been all the rage in recent weeks, the condition was to hold $FDUSD or $BNB in your wallet #earn ! These conditions differ from one platform to another. For certain platforms, you had to hold $TIA, have certain NFTs, participate in the “altitude” promotional campaign etc…
The last project in the Binance launchpool was $ALT , preceded by $MANTA.
Stay tuned for announcements and don’t miss upcoming opportunities on Binance!
Many are wondering why they couldn't buy alt at $0.006 Usdt as shown in the graph?!
It's simple 0.006usdt is the price of the $ALT token before the launch, during the AirDrop that lasted 6 days. The launch price was 0.27usdt.
The +5000% are on the AirDrop tokens not from your purchase!!
But the increase remains relatively interesting for large portfolios. Departure: 0.27usdt - highest price: 0.34999usdt, or 29.63% in less than 24 hours.
This is just the beginning for this token which could easily reach $1!
