🤑 Ripple Drops $1.25B On Company Nobody’s Ever Heard Of, And I’m Pretty Disturbed

Pretttty, pretttty big news in the crypto world. You won’t believe this – Ripple just threw away $1.25 billion on some company called Hidden Road. I mean, who are these people? Has anyone even heard of them? It’s like buying a sandwich from a guy in a dark alley! 🤦‍♂️

And get this – apparently this made the week’s total funding go over $1.5 billion. That’s billion with a ‘B’! What are we, printing money in the basement now? 🤷‍♂️

Let me tell you about these other “spectacular” deals…

Wunder Social, $50 million

  • Some British startup got $50 million. They’re not even launching until 2025! What’s next, investing in my neighbor’s kid’s lemonade stand that opens in 2030? 🍋
  • They say they’re going to “shake up” social media. Yeah, and I’m going to win an Olympic medal in gymnastics. 🤸‍♂️
  • They hired some ex-TikTok guy. Whoopdie-doo! 👏

Blackbird, $50 million

  • Another $50 million for restaurant loyalty? I still can’t get my punch card filled at the local deli! 🥪
  • Coinbase is involved – because apparently regular restaurant rewards aren’t complicated enough! 🙄
  • $85 million total raised. That’s a lot of sandwich points!

You know what? I’m starting to think nobody knows what they’re doing here. It’s like watching a bunch of kids playing monopoly with real money! And don’t even get me started on these tweets – who writes this stuff? “🔥 BIG NEWS! 🔥” Really? What are we, twelve? 😤
