🚨 Ripple Ex-CTO Sold 88% of His XRP. He Kept 1 Bitcoin

David Schwartz, one of the architects of the XRP Ledger and Ripple's former chief technology officer, says he has sold nearly all the crypto I ever held. In my own posts on X this week I said I am down from a high of about 26 million XRP to about 3 million, from about 1,500 Bitcoin to 1, and from about 40,000 Ether to 6. I go through the posts one by one: what Schwartz sold, over how long, and why (he says he hates risk and agreed to sell at every new all-time high). Then what he kept: about 3 million XRP and his Ripple stock. Then the question it raises for any coin: who gets paid, the company or the token? Plus the Compass read on XRP and on Bitcoin, yesterday's inflation report in one minute, tonight's MSCI ruling on Strategy, and the Daily Edge: a simple trick for anyone who keeps reaching for the snacks. My positions: I hold equity in Ripple, the company. I do not hold XRP. I hold a small amount of SOL. I do not hold ZEC.
