It’s coming

Las inteligencias artificiales no viven una experiencia, no poseen un cuerpo, no pasan por la alegría y el dolor, no maduran en las relaciones ni conocen desde dentro lo que significan el amor, el trabajo, la amistad y la responsabilidad. Tampoco tienen una conciencia moral: no juzgan el bien y el mal, no captan el sentido último de las situaciones ni asumen el peso de las consecuencias. Pueden imitar, pueden simular pero no conocen lo que producen, porque no residen en el horizonte afectivo, relacional y espiritual en el que el ser humano se hace sabio. #MagnificaHumanitas

What’s happening to Japan goes beyond the stock market.
It’s the end game for all western economies.
What happens next is our future.
Like and repost if you understand this.

As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years at Ripple.
I can’t begin to explain the depth of my gratitude to this company, the people who work here, and the community that surrounds XRPL. It’s been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life, second only to my amazing family.
The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t seen the last of me (now, or ever).
The last few months I’ve been tinkering on the side – spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP (besides what Ripple is focused on), and more. I truly enjoy this part — getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it — and I’m really excited to get back to that. More to come on this very soon, I’m sure.
But back to gratitude — to Brad and Monica — leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, and are the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered. To Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them. To the RippleX team, ledger developers, community members, builders, and everyone else — it’s been an honor being in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you have done for the XRPL. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders – including Dennis Jarosch (Ripple’s SVP of Engineering) – and far too many others to name in the XRP community who will carry the torch.
I’ll still be in and out of the Ripple office as CTO Emeritus, and as my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's Board of Directors to continue supporting the company’s mission and long-term vision...and I accept!
I look forward to seeing the rest of you at XRP community events around the world.

I've already lost count of how many times Putin has been played with fake negotiations while he gets a big slap in the face.
A part of his NUCLEAR capabilities have been blown up. There is no greater escalation than this.
Firing Oreshnik point blank at Ukraine just for show will only further expose his already deeply felt weakness.
Such attacks from inside Russia will now become everyday life. Ukraine and NATO are waging an all-in war against Russia.
They are blowing up civilian buildings, trains, generals, mayors, and now even nuclear assets on Russian territory. Putin is still playing some kind of "special military operation" by claiming that the Ukrainians were his brothers.
On the other hand, he refused to arm the Houthis, the Palestinians, Hezbollah, and Syria to the teeth, and he ended up losing Syria and the entire Middle East.
Israel bombed Syria for years while Putin cultivated "friendship" with Israel and Turkey and refused to provide Assad with advanced weapons.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar also felt his weakness and urgently signed massive agreements with the US and began distancing themselves from the BRICS.
Zelensky and his team have proven from their comfortably warm offices in Kiev that they want the war to continue as long as they are funded and armed.
Putin is currently waging "special military operation" with "stones" while his serious weapons are slumbering in warehouses that are being blown up one by one.
His alleged "friends" are massively selling weapons to Ukraine, including China, which until recently massively sold drones to Ukriane, similar to those that wiped out his bombers today.
Empty treats are no longer something Putin and his friends can afford.
La ironía no…
I asked @saylor if @MicroStrategy has any plans to publish on-chain proof of reserves

En Chile, politicos de izquierda y de la derecha dura han asegurado o culpado a Zelensky de haber ordenado la muerte de Gonzalo Lira. Esto también ha sido tocado internacionalmente por @elonmusk o @TuckerCarlson. Decidí preguntárselo hoy en la conferencia.
