by

In a world teetering on the precipice of existential dread, where the mundane intertwines with the extraordinary, Brad Garlinghouse, the illustrious chief executive of the Ripple blockchain behemoth, has cast a tantalizing invitation to the XRP community. He beckons them to congregate at the forthcoming spectacle known as XRPL Apex 2025, a grand affair set to unfold in the vibrant city-state of Singapore, precisely two months and one week hence—June 10-12, to be exact. Ah, the anticipation! 🎉

Garlinghouse: A Luminary Among Luminaries

As the digital age spirals into chaos, the conference website proclaims that our dear Brad shall grace the stage as one of the keynote speakers. Alongside him, a veritable pantheon of blockchain sages will gather: the astute Ripple chief technology officer, David Schwartz, the ever-ambitious Ripple president, Monica Long, and the venerable David Bchiri, president of XRPL Commons. One can only imagine the fervor that will ensue! 😏

In a moment of uncharacteristic optimism, Garlinghouse addressed the XRP community with a tweet that dripped with enthusiasm: “Looking forward to seeing many of you at @xrplapex in Singapore this June 10-12!” Ah, the joys of social media, where sincerity and sarcasm dance a delicate waltz! 💃

Ripple CEO Unveils Shocking US Crypto Data

Garlinghouse, in his infinite wisdom, emphasized the significance of organizations like the NCA, which, in their noble quest, “spotlight the practical, everyday use cases possible through crypto.” A noble endeavor indeed, though one might wonder if they are merely shining a light on a mirage. 🌈

According to the aforementioned report, a staggering 70% of these crypto holders are men, predominantly toiling in the fields of construction, technology, and finance. The millennials, those harbingers of change, constitute more than half of this demographic, while a mere 15% are over the age of 55. Ah, the youth, forever chasing the next shiny object! 🧑‍💻

In a twist that would make even the most seasoned philosopher chuckle, it appears that approximately 39% of these holders have ventured to use crypto for actual purchases. Yet, the majority—52%—remain content to invest and simply sit on their digital assets, while about 15% have dared to use their crypto for acquiring real estate and other tangible goods. The survey also revealed that around 73% of respondents yearn for the US to ascend as a global leader in the crypto realm, likely cheering on the steps taken by President Trump in this direction—namely, the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which already boasts nearly 100,000 BTC. Ah, the irony of it all! 🤑
