Ripple posits that future regulations should hinge on solid legal rights and enforceable obligations, rather than on those nebulous concepts that seem to drift about like lost sheep-forever changing and utterly untrustworthy. 🐑
The press release, dated Jan. 12, arrived like a telegram from a distant relative: urgent, cryptic, and laced with desperation. Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee, a man who once dreamed of space travel but now counts decimals for a living, implores shareholders to vote YES on increasing authorized shares. The threshold? A precise 50.1% of outstanding shares. Such precision in a world of chaos! 🤡
He frames sovereignty as more than just resisting governments-it’s about privacy, attention, and autonomy from profit-driven platforms that treat you like a data point wearing a username. Yeah, because nothing screams freedom like a feed optimized to make you click one more thing before bed. 😒
The company’s offering? A mere 11.8 million shares, which could rake in $201 million if the stars align (and the SEC stops side-eyeing crypto like it’s a suspiciously labeled lunch meat).

And here we are, ladies and gentlemen, witnessing an exhilarating spectacle.

Or were they just trying to remember where they put their glasses?
Venezuela, which somehow claims to hold the world’s largest oil reserves (a cosmic joke if ever there was one), has seen its energy sector devolve into a post-apocalyptic wasteland of mismanagement, sanctions, and political chaos. Now, Donald Trump is betting that American oil expertise can resurrect it. Because nothing says “reliable partner” like betting your life savings on a nation that’s basically a real-life version of Mad Max with less action and more bureaucracy.
The decision was confirmed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, which oversees financial regulation within the DIFC. Yes, the DFSA gave it a thumbs up, which apparently counts as a regulation badge of honor.
Alas, poor Cardano (ADA), thou hast fallen by 2.83% in the last 24 hours. A tragedy most foul! 😢
