🚨NEW: Michael Saylor explains his $BTC sale: "I said to YOU never sell your Bitcoin, I never said that the company wouldn’t sell its Bitcoin.” Translation: You should buy and hold $BTC so he can sell it on behalf of his company.

I have been quiet long enough. This is perhaps the most important thread on X ever published. And the most powerful and impactful comic book you will ever read. If you want to understand the reverse carry trade, bookmark this. Oil, Yen, Japan, and an all-star cast. 1/24🧵👇

After one of crypto’s most exciting years (and Ripple’s), the industry is entering its production era. In 2026 we’ll see the institutionalization of crypto — trusted infrastructure and real utility will push banks, corporates, and providers from pilots to scale — across stablecoins, onchain assets, crypto custody, and broader institutional investment. A true inflection point for institutional adoption and the Internet of Value. With that, here are some of my top predictions for 2026:

To my fellow XRP family. This game was never meant to be easy. It’s meant to test patience, conviction, and endurance. Holding through uncertainty is part of the price of admission, because we were given the chance to buy something early that most people still don’t understand. What’s being built isn’t just another digital asset, it’s infrastructure for the future, hidden in plain sight, spoken about in riddles long before the world was ready to listen. Along the way we’ve been slowed by regulation, legal battles, media narratives, and widespread disbelief. That’s the hardest part. Not the chart, but the waiting. We all want progress, momentum, and confirmation that the sacrifice was worth it. And when things take longer than expected, it’s natural to feel restless. That doesn’t mean the thesis is broken. It means the scale is big. What we’re holding with $XRP is something no other crypto has built around it. The foundations being laid by @Ripple, the acquisitions, the regulatory groundwork, and the quiet handshakes with governments and institutions worldwide are about unlocking trillions in value. That work didn’t happen overnight. It took years of planning, pressure, and persistence. When @bgarlinghouse says it’s happening, that’s not hype, that’s execution reaching the final stages. When @JoelKatz steps back from the day to day CTO role, that’s not an exit, it’s a signal that the heavy lifting is done. What comes next is usage, volume on the XRPL, price discovery, and the phase everyone has been waiting for. Very few people on the planet hold XRP. Even fewer actually use the ledger. That makes this moment rare. The people here now are the early actors, the catalysts, the ones who will be written into the story before the masses arrive. This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been meaningful. And when it finally plays out, when the noise fades and the results speak, we’ll look back and know the hard part was worth it. We didn’t just hold an asset. We held conviction. And that’s what changes lives.

Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT) Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision. With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential. Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype. Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul? In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable. He calls the result “men without chests.” People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing. Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear. Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning. Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians. Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.
