  • XRP & AI: Your Path to Financial Freedom (Governments Can't Stop It)

    XRP & AI: Your Path to Financial Freedom (Governments Can't Stop It)
    Oct 24 2025
    Join Paul Barron and Lewis Jackson for a deep dive into XRP's emerging role as a cornerstone of financial freedom in an increasingly surveilled digital economy.
    In this episode, Lewis and Paul explore why XRP ETF approval could be the catalyst that propels the asset to $10 and beyond—if demand materializes. While some debate whether the price is already baked in, the hosts make a compelling case for XRP's potential to outperform once macro pressure aligns with retail and institutional adoption.
    But this conversation goes far beyond price speculation. Discover how agentic AI systems are positioning XRP as the settlement layer of choice, and why Ripple's technology offers a genuine alternative to the dystopian programmable CBDCs being rolled out in the UK and beyond. Lewis argues that once people experience true crypto freedom, programmable government money will never gain traction—because capital equals power, and more capital means more freedom.

    24:30 - Will the UK allow this programmable money to happen
    26:45 - Once you experience crypto, programmable money will never take hold

    Oct 17 2025
    In this groundbreaking conversation with Eman Mostaque, we explore the inevitable convergence of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence—two revolutionary technologies poised to fundamentally reshape our economic systems. Mostaque makes the provocative case that crypto is essentially "AI money," arguing that within 1000 days, Wall Street as we know it will be replaced by AI-driven financial systems operating on blockchain rails. We dive deep into how AI agents will soon manage our investments with superhuman capabilities, learning our trading habits and executing strategies that outperform human traders. As these autonomous agents emerge, the need for instant, low-cost, cross-border settlement becomes critical—positioning assets like XRP as potential infrastructure for agentic payments.

    They DON'T Want You Buying XRP Right Now... Here's Why I'm ALL IN
    Oct 17 2025
    In this episode, we dive deep into the recent market turbulence that's shaking up the crypto landscape. Evan Aldo joins us to break down the flash crash that sent shockwaves through the market, the suspicious liquidation events hitting Asian markets hardest, and the major issues plaguing Binance. We explore critical macroeconomic factors including the potential for the longest government shutdown in history and how the Federal Reserve's policies could impact crypto prices moving forward. Plus, we discuss Larry Fink's bold comparison of Bitcoin to gold and whether traditional safe havens like gold and silver can weather a potential 30% correction.

    The second half of the episode gets bullish as we analyze XRP's positioning for a potential blow-off top in 2025, with legendary trader Peter Brandt's recent bullish stance adding fuel to the fire.
