• Ripple founders made $600 million by dumping XRP to retail investors (Allegedly). Now SEC came after the project, and Ripple’s CEO Garlinghouse is trying to rally the whole crypto market behind him, trashing Bitcoin and Ethereum. He forgets Ripple doesn’t have allies in crypto, and it will go down as the shitiest coin in history. (Not financial advice).
• Japan is gearing up to launch a digital currency in both the public and private sectors as it trails China, which is in the trial stage of launching its own.
• Anthony Scaramucci’s Skybridge Capital has already invested as much as $182 million to bitcoin on behalf of its investment funds.
