$XRP | Ripple CTO David Schwartz Clears the Confusion: XRP Can’t Stay “Dirt Cheap” 🔥 Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has once again clarified his long-standing stance that XRP cannot remain “dirt cheap.” But not for the reason most people think… Schwartz explained that a low XRP price doesn’t make payments cheaper — it can actually make XRP MORE expensive to use for payments and exchange settlements. This clarification came after an X user revisited his 2017 statement where he said XRP “can’t be dirt cheap,” asking what he really meant. Schwartz replied that many people misunderstand it: ➡️ Lower #XRP price = more #XRP needed to move the same value ➡️ That increases friction, cost, and market impact — especially for large transfers.
✅ Key Takeaways 🔹 Schwartz says low XRP price increases real transaction friction 🔹 More tokens needed per transfer = higher operational cost 🔹 Higher XRP price improves efficiency by reducing tokens required 🔹 His focus remains on utility & liquidity, not hype price targets 💡 Why Cheap XRP Can Become Costly If XRP is priced low, institutions must use huge amounts of XRP to move large value. Example: If XRP = $1, moving $1M needs 1,000,000 XRP If XRP = $100, moving $1M needs only 10,000 XRP So a higher price means: ✅ fewer tokens used ✅ less market impact ✅ smoother settlement ✅ better efficiency
🧠 What Triggered the Debate? The discussion restarted after a community member asked Schwartz to publicly reject $50–$100 XRP price targets. Schwartz refused to give firm predictions, saying he has been wrong before — and reminded people that many “impossible” crypto prices have happened in history (Bitcoin & XRP included). 🔥 His View Has NOT Changed Schwartz also reiterated in July 2024 (when #XRP was under $0.40) that his position remains the same: 📌 Higher XRP price tends to mean deeper liquidity 📌 Deeper liquidity = cheaper, faster, smoother payments 📌 Low price can strain markets during big transfers 🎯 Bottom Line Schwartz isn’t making price calls — he’s talking about #Xrp🔥🔥 ’s role as a bridge asset: 💎 Higher valuation = less friction + stronger liquidity + lower real cost ⚡ More efficiency for global settlement 🚀 FOLLOW: BE_MASTER BUY_SMART 💰 Learn smart moves, avoid traps & stay ahead! 🔥 Be Master — Buy Smart! #BinanceSquareTalks $BTC $BNB

Who Is Next Fed Chair? 🌍 Implications for Crypto & Global Markets
The #WhoIsNextFedChair discussion is heating up as investors guess who will become the next Federal Reserve Chair. This decision is very important because the Fed Chair controls policies that impact interest rates, inflation, and global liquidity 💰 — and that can shake both traditional markets and crypto.
For crypto traders, this appointment can be a big turning point 🚀👇
Hawkish Chair 🦅 → high rates, tight liquidity → BTC & alts may face pressure
Dovish Chair 🕊️ → easier policy, more liquidity → risk assets can rally
That’s why analysts are watching closely 👀 because the next Fed Chair won’t just affect Wall Street… it can also set the direction for Bitcoin & altcoins 📈 $ZEC #FederalReserve #FOMC_Decision
Inflation is still not under control and the economy is strong, so rates may remain high. There is a chance of volatility in the market, traders should be careful.

🤔 VIRBNB vs “Airbnb” — Clearing the Confusion
Although VIRBNB visually resembles “Airbnb,” the two are completely unrelated. That said, the timing is interesting—especially as major tech platforms continue exploring AI and crypto payment systems.
You can’t book a stay with VIRBNB (yet 😄), but it clearly represents how traditional finance and crypto exposure are merging in a more regulated, institutional-friendly way.
💡 Why This Matters Going Forward
The launch of VIRBNB highlights a growing trend: Altcoins are entering the professional investment space.
1️⃣ Central banks do not follow hype. They follow security. That’s why gold reserves are growing globally. 2️⃣ The US, Europe, China, Russia & Switzerland hold gold not for profit, but for protection against uncertainty. 3️⃣ But the world is becoming fast digital. Here Bitcoin is not just an asset, it is becoming a digital store of value. 4️⃣ Gold has earned trust over centuries. Bitcoin is earning trust through code, scarcity & decentralization. Final thought: History does not repeat — it upgrades. 👇 What do you think? Gold or Bitcoin?
📊 Risk Sentiment: If May 7 earnings are strong → stocks pump → risk appetite up → $BTC & Altcoins may get support
📉 Weak earnings or AI cost pressure → risk-off mood → crypto short-term dump possible
☁️ Cloud + AI = Crypto Infrastructure
Microsoft Azure & Amazon AWS = AI + blockchain infra backbone
AI adoption increasing leads to data centers + GPUs demand ↑ → $NVDA bullish → AI-related crypto narrative strong
🤖 AI Spending & Token Narrative: Heavy AI investment may hit short-term profits, but in the long-term: ➡️ AI + Crypto tokens (Compute, Data, DePIN, AI Agents) may get narrative boost
🔍 Company-wise Crypto Impact:
🍏 Apple: Payments + Web3 integration rumors 📢 Meta: Ads recovery → metaverse & digital assets sentiment 🪟 Microsoft: Azure AI + blockchain services 📦 Amazon: AWS infra → Web3 & Layer-2 projects 🔎 Alphabet: Cloud + AI data economy 🔥 Nvidia: GPUs = AI + mining + DePIN backbone 🚗 Tesla: BTC exposure + AI-driven automation
🪙 Key Levels to Watch:
$BTC : Market direction lead indicator
ETH: AI + infra narrative
AI / DePIN coins: Momentum possible after earnings
💡 Big Question: Will May7 earnings start a risk-on rally or will the market see profit booking first?
