Ripple’s Sidechain Gambit: Can 168 Devs Compete? 🤷♂️🔥

“We’re expanding capabilities without changing the basics,” Schwartz declared, as if the XRPL’s core wasn’t already a mystery to everyone except maybe a few die-hard enthusiasts. The sidechain is basically a middle finger to scalability, wrapped in a “trust us, we’re reliable” bow. 🎁

Bitcoin’s Dizzying Dance: $120K or Bust? 🎢💰

The broader uptrend, one must concede, remains as intact as a society matron’s reputation-though recent price action suggests a certain nervousness, a tightening of the corset, if you will. 🧵 With macroeconomic tensions simmering like a poorly stirred pot and risk sentiment as mixed as a cocktail at a third-rate soiree, Bitcoin’s next grand gesture may well hinge on those oh-so-critical technical levels. 🍸

Pierre Rochard, an eager eavesdropper of the crypto grapevine, caught wind of his Mr. Hyde-to-Dr. Jekyll switch, and tweeted out a screenshot of the old vitriol versus the new evangelism.
