Picture this: Monday, October 20, and Strategy drops a bombshell filing like it’s no big deal. They scooped up another 168 $BTC at a cool $112K each, shelling out $18.8M. I mean, who hasn’t done that mid-afternoon binge? 🎩💸
The announcement arrived hand-in-hand with Evernorth’s grand design to merge with Armada Acquisition Corp II, a maneuver destined to birth a Nasdaq-listed entity trading under the ticker “XRPN.” With $1 billion in proceeds (including a $200 million nod from SBI, Japan’s financial sorcerer), the company intends to purchase XRP en masse, a strategy that reads less like finance and more like a modern-day alchemy experiment. “Ladies and gentlemen,” one imagines the press release declaring, “we shall transform XRP into liquidity, or at least pretend to!” 🪙✨

Amazon, with its vast e-commerce empire, stands poised to suffer should the consumer pull back. In fact, when the inevitable economic slump arrives-and we all know it will-expect Amazon’s sales figures to mirror a falling soufflé. In Q2, a staggering 60% of Amazon’s revenue came from North American commerce, with another 22% trickling in from abroad. A delicate balance, indeed, where one gust of economic misfortune could spell disaster.
To uproot one’s strategy in the face of frost is folly. Instead, seek the trees whose bark resists decay, whose branches bend but do not snap. Here are five such saplings, grafted to the future’s uncertain soil.
