Recently, former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal explained why he is bullish on Ripple and the XRPL Ledger (XRPL).

Prior to founding macro economic and investment strategy research service Global Macro Investor (GMI) in 2005, Pal co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund in London for global asset management firm GLG Partners (which is now called “Man GLG”). Before that, Pal worked at Goldman Sachs, where he co-managed the European hedge fund sales business in Equities and Equity Derivatives. Currently, he is the CEO of finance and business video channel Real Vision, which he co-founded in 2014.

What Is XRP Ledger (XRPL)?

The XRP Ledger was created in 2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto, and XRP is the native currency of the XRP Ledger.

Binance Academy, which was officially launched on 11 December 2018, is the educational arm of Binance. On August 24, Binance Academy released a video about XRP — titled “What Is XRP Ledger (XRPL)? Explained for Beginners” — on its YouTube channel .

Here are a few things that this video points out about XRPL and XRP:

  • “XRPL is a decentralised public blockchain built with the purpose to enable a world where tokenized value is exchanged as quickly as information. The XRPL is stable, scalable, fast, and energy-efficient. It has continuously confirmed transactions since its deployment in 2012 while supporting more than 1500 transactions per second and transaction speeds of three to five seconds.“
  • “Transactions are cheap. The average transaction cost on the XRPL is less than a fraction of a penny.“
  • “The XRPL is friendly to our planet. It is the first major blockchain to be certifiably carbon-neutral.“
  • “The network uses a federated consensus protocol to confirm transactions in which designated independent servers known as validators must come to an agreement on the order and outcome of XRP transactions. All verified transactions are processed without a single point of failure as no single participant can decide which transactions take priority.“
  • “The cryptocurrency native to the XRP Ledger is XRP, a neutral bridge asset that is optimised for payments anywhere. With billions of XRP traded daily, XRP functions as a medium of exchange to facilitate cross-border payments quickly, cheaply, and sustainably. It can also be used to transact on XRP Ledger’s decentralised exchange (DEX) or engage with tokenized assets.“
  • “The main applications of the XRP Ledger are payments. Using the XRP Ledger, assets can be moved across the world, enabling near instant money transfers for remittances, treasury payments, payrolls, and other cross-border payments.“

Ripple’s Involvement With Central Banks on Developing CBDCs

On 11 February 2022, the Digital Euro Association (DEA) announced that it was “delighted” about a new partnership with FinTech firm Ripple.

The Digital Euro Association (DEA) is “a think tank specializing in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, crypto assets, and other forms of digital money.” Its mission is “to contribute to the public and political discourse through research, education, and by providing a platform and community for policy-makers, technologists, and economists to discuss digital money-related topics.” It’s “committed to independence and excellence, aiming to set the agenda and to shape policy by encouraging new ideas and forward-thinking in the field of digital money.”

In a blog post published on that day, the DEA started by talking about Ripple’s experience with ce tral bank digital currencies (CBDCs):

“Ripple, one of the leading providers of enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions for cross-border payments, has recently developed a blockchain-based infrastructure to support CBDCs and is engaged with Bhutan’s central bank, amongst others, to help execute their CBDC pilot. Ripple is also a member of the Digital Pound Foundation and continues to extend its efforts around CBDCs worldwide.“

Jonas Gross, Chairman of the Digital Euro Association, had this to say:

“We are thrilled that, due to the partnership with Ripple, we can extend the technological expertise of the DEA community. As more and more CBDC projects worldwide reach advanced stages, technological design of a CBDC will play a key role for policy-makers in the near future, while previous years focused primarily on research.“

And James Wallis, VP of Central Bank Engagements at Ripple, stated:

“We are excited to join the Digital Euro Association as a supporting partner to further develop our work in the CBDC area. The DEA is working across Europe and global markets to drive the development and growth of CBDCs and, specifically, the Digital Euro. Ripple has invested significantly in the CBDC world, with a team of around 40 people globally, helping develop and deliver solutions for CBDCs and stablecoins. We look forward to working with the DEA to further our work on CBDCs over the next few months.”

What Raoul Pal Thinks About Ripple and XRP Ledger

On September 9, Pal held an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on the “Real Vision Crypt”o YouTube channel.

According to a report by The Daily Hodl, this is what the Real Vision CEO had to say about Ripple and the XRP Ledger:

“There’s this weird narrative from the past about Ripple. The point being is, even if they have to settle a lawsuit and get a slap on the wrist, Ripple plays actually quite an important role. It’s a money transmission network and it does quite a good job of it. It has deep connections with global governments around the world and has worked really hard on it. 

“So there’s a reason the chain is valued as highly as it is, and it’s not from speculation because actually it got taken off a whole bunch of exchanges because of the lawsuit. It’s actually because when I use my Metcalfe’s Law model, the amount of value that gets transacted on the chain is very high. It’s being used...

“So I think if you lift the legal issue, the probability is that the value of the chain increases significantly and as the world moves towards central bank digital currencies, I think the XRP Network is going to be somewhere at the center of all of that
 I know it’s not the flavor of the day for a lot of people but I think it’s a big player, it’s a real player and a real niche.“

The most important AI model launched this year is completely empty—and that was entirely by design. đŸ«™âšĄïž

You likely already scrolled past it once thinking it was just another weight drop, but Teutonic-II 110B Genesis isn't a finished model. It is a clean, randomly initialized sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) checkpoint that the network is pretraining live from scratch, completely in public, on Bittensor Subnet 3. đŸŒđŸ”„

đŸ€– AI Won't Destroy Jobs—It Will Create a Labor Shortage! 📉

While most headlines focus on AI-driven displacement, Groq Founder and CEO Jonathan Ross offers a fascinating, contrarian perspective. He argues that instead of mass unemployment, we are heading toward a massive labor shortage driven by three tectonic shifts:

1. Massive Deflationary Pressure: Efficiency gains from automated farming, robotics, and streamlined supply chains will drive down the cost of everyday essentials—from coffee to housing—meaning people will ultimately need less money to thrive. â˜•ïžđŸ 

2. The Great Economic Opt-Out: As living costs drop and productivity skyrockets, humans will choose to work fewer hours, fewer days a week, and retire much earlier because their lifestyles will be easier to support. ⏳🌮

🚹 JPMorgan’s criticism of the CLARITY Act is fueling a fresh power struggle over who gets to write America’s crypto rules 🚹

A new clash is emerging between legacy finance and crypto legislation after JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon reportedly warned that the CLARITY Act could let crypto firms offer bank-like products without bank-level oversight. The dispute is quickly turning into a larger fight over regulation, competitiveness, and who controls the future architecture of digital finance in the United States.

🔑 Key points

đŸ”č Jamie Dimon reportedly called the CLARITY Act a threat to the financial system, arguing it could allow crypto firms to offer yield-like products while avoiding the capital, reserve, and oversight burdens traditional banks face.

đŸ”č Senator Cynthia Lummis pushed back publicly, framing the issue as a global strategic race and warning that if the U.S. does not set digital asset standards, other powers will.

⛔ LIFE IS THE WIND — AWARENESS IS YOUR SAIL

Perhaps shifting your reality isn’t about forcing the atmosphere to change.

Anyone who steps onto a sailboat learns a fundamental truth early on: you cannot order the gale to blow from a different direction. You can fight the gusts until your hands bleed, curse the sudden stillness, and demand the weather yield to your plans, or you can become quiet enough to feel the subtle shift in the breeze.

The seasoned sailor doesn’t try to dominate the ocean. He listens to it. He senses the change in pressure before the wave even breaks. He adjusts his trim by fractions of an inch. He knows when to catch the gust, when to alter his angle, and when to drop anchor and simply wait out the fog. A minimal touch on the tiller, executed with precision, accomplishes far more than desperate struggling against a gale.

Perhaps navigating existence demands the exact same touch.

The ego insists, “I must bend the world to my will.”

The observer asks, “Which way is ...

đŸ€–Can Decentralized AI Stop Big Tech from Owning the Future of Robotics?đŸ€–
The race to build the future of robotics is no longer just about robots. It's about who controls the intelligence behind them.
 
Over the last three years, a small group of companies has emerged as the backbone of the AI revolution. Microsoft provides cloud infrastructure. NVIDIA supplies the chips. Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and others develop the models. Together, they control much of the compute, data, and software stack powering modern AI.
 
Now that AI is moving into the physical world, many are asking a bigger question:
 
Will these same companies end up controlling robotics too?
 
It's a valid concern.
 
The latest generation of robots relies on enormous amounts of compute, simulation, training data, and foundation models. Many robotics startups today are built on infrastructure provided by large technology companies. NVIDIA's Omniverse is becoming a key simulation environment for robot training. Microsoft Azure is powering the training of robotics foundation models. Physical AI startups increasingly depend on hyperscale cloud infrastructure to train and deploy intelligent systems. Recent partnerships across the industry show just how central Big Tech has become to robotics development.
But while Big Tech is building the highways, another movement is trying to ensure it doesn't own every destination.
 
That movement is decentralized AI.
 
Why Decentralized AI Exists
 
The idea behind decentralized AI is simple. Instead of a handful of companies owning the models, compute infrastructure, data pipelines, and intelligence networks, these resources are distributed across thousands of participants.
 
This means anyone can contribute compute, contribute models, validate outputs and can participate.
The most visible example today is the decentralized AI network known as Bittensor (@bittensor). The network has evolved into a large ecosystem of specialized AI markets called subnets, where participants compete to provide useful machine intelligence and are rewarded based on performance. Rather than relying on a single company, intelligence is generated and validated by a distributed network of miners and validators.
 
Think of it as an attempt to build an open marketplace for AI instead of a world where intelligence is rented from a few centralized providers.
 
Why This Matters for Robotics
 
Robotics has a unique problem. Unlike chatbots, robots operate in the physical world. They need to perceive environments, make decisions, move safely and they need to learn continuously.
 
The challenge is that collecting and training on real-world robotic data is incredibly expensive. That's one reason large companies have such an advantage. They can afford the compute, simulation environments, and data infrastructure needed to train robotics models at scale.
 
This is where decentralized systems become interesting.
 
Instead of one company collecting all the data and training all the models, decentralized networks could allow thousands of contributors to participate in building robotic intelligence.
 
Imagine a future where:
  • Warehouse robots contribute operational data.
  • Delivery robots contribute navigation data.
  • Factory robots contribute manipulation data.
  • Developers contribute models.
  • Validators evaluate performance.
The resulting intelligence becomes a shared network rather than a proprietary asset.
 
That vision is beginning to emerge.
 
Bittensor's Move Toward Physical AI
 
While many people associate Bittensor (@bittensor) with language models and AI services, parts of the ecosystem are increasingly exploring embodied intelligence and robotics.
 
One example is Kinitro, a subnet focused on incentivizing the training and evaluation of embodied AI systems. The goal is to create competitive environments where developers build robotic intelligence and are rewarded based on performance.
 
The broader Bittensor ecosystem has also expanded into compute marketplaces, distributed inference systems, bandwidth infrastructure, and AI coordination layers that could eventually support robotics workloads. Several subnets now focus on decentralized compute, confidential inference, data transfer, and model training, critical components for future robotic systems.
 
In other words, the pieces are starting to appear.
 
Not a decentralized robot network yet.
 
But the infrastructure that could support one.
 
Beyond Bittensor: The Rise of Physical AI Networks
 
Bittensor isn't alone.
 
Across the industry, researchers and builders are experimenting with decentralized approaches to physical AI.
 
New research published in 2026 introduced the concept of DAO-enabled decentralized physical AI, or DePAI. The idea combines robotics, decentralized infrastructure, AI models, governance systems, and human oversight into a single framework. Instead of centralized control, robots and physical infrastructure could be coordinated through transparent rules and distributed ownership models.
 
At the same time, developers are exploring decentralized operating systems for robots that allow machines to communicate directly with each other and with distributed compute resources. These architectures are designed to make robotic systems more resilient and less dependent on a single cloud provider.
 
The goal is not simply decentralization for its own sake.
 
The goal is resilience.
 
If one server fails, the system continues.
 
If one company disappears, the network survives.
 
If one participant leaves, innovation continues.
 
But Here's the Reality
 
Decentralized AI faces the same challenge every decentralized technology faces.
 
Big Tech has resources. A lot of resources.
 
Training advanced robotics models requires enormous compute budgets, sophisticated simulation environments, access to specialized hardware, and vast amounts of real-world data.
 
That's why many robotics startups still partner with major cloud providers and AI companies. It's often the fastest path to deployment.
 
And there are legitimate concerns about whether decentralized networks can maintain quality, reliability, and security at the scale required for industrial robotics. Even researchers studying decentralized AI systems have highlighted risks around concentration, incentives, governance, and network security.
 
The challenge isn't just decentralizing intelligence.
 
It's decentralizing intelligence while maintaining performance.
 
That's much harder.
 
The Most Likely Outcome
 
The future probably won't be fully centralized. And it probably won't be fully decentralized either. Instead, we're likely heading toward a hybrid model.
 
Large technology companies will continue providing chips, cloud infrastructure, simulation platforms, and foundational research.
 
At the same time, decentralized AI networks will emerge as alternative coordination layers where intelligence, data, and economic value can be shared more openly.
 
The companies building robots may use NVIDIA hardware.
 
Train on Azure.
 
Run foundation models from OpenAI.
 
But they may also participate in decentralized data networks, decentralized compute markets, and decentralized intelligence protocols.
 
The future of robotics could end up looking less like a monopoly and more like an ecosystem.
 
The Bigger Question
 
The real question isn't whether decentralized AI can eliminate Big Tech.
 
It can't.
 
At least not anytime soon.
 
The real question is whether decentralized AI can prevent a future where a handful of companies control every robot, every model, every dataset, and every decision made by the machines operating around us.
 
As robots become workers, assistants, delivery drivers, factory operators, and even economic agents, that question becomes increasingly important.
 
Because the battle for the future of robotics is no longer about hardware.
 
It's about who owns the intelligence.
 
And that battle is just getting started.

Navigating the world of blockchain 🧭
Navigating the world of blockchain can feel like learning a completely foreign language. Between technical jargon and fast-moving Web3 terminology, getting started can be overwhelming.

Whether you are exploring digital assets, building on-chain, or simply trying to understand decentralized technology, here is your foundational glossary of essential blockchain terms every beginner should know.

đŸ›ïž 1. Core Architecture: The Base Layer

  • Blockchain: A distributed, immutable digital ledger that records transactions across a peer-to-peer network of computers. Once data is written to a block and added to the chain, it cannot be altered without altering all subsequent blocks.
  • Block: A collection of verified transactions grouped together. Once filled, the block is cryptographically linked to the previous one, forming a chronological "chain."
  • Node: An individual computer connected to a blockchain network that helps validate transactions, store ledger data, and maintain network consensus.
  • Consensus Mechanism: The set of rules and algorithms that network nodes use to agree on the validity of transactions.

    • Proof of Work (PoW): Requires miners to solve complex mathematical puzzles using computational power (e.g., Bitcoin).
    • Proof of Stake (PoS): Requires validators to lock up ("stake") native tokens as collateral to participate in block validation (e.g., Ethereum).

🔑 2. Ownership & Security: Wallets and Keys

  • Public Key (Address): An alphanumeric string that acts like your bank account number or email address. It is safe to share publicly so others can send you digital assets.
  • Private Key: A secret cryptographic passphrase or key that grants full access and control over your wallet assets. Never share your private key or seed phrase with anyone.
  • Seed Phrase (Recovery Phrase): A sequence of 12 to 24 random words generated when you set up a wallet. It acts as the master backup key to restore your wallet and access your funds on any device.
  • Hot Wallet vs. Cold Wallet:

    • Hot Wallet: A software-based crypto wallet connected to the internet (e.g., browser extensions, mobile apps), making it convenient for frequent transactions but higher risk.
    • Cold Wallet: An offline hardware device (e.g., Ledger, Coldcard) designed to isolate private keys from internet-connected threats.

⚙ 3. Execution & Functionality: Smart Contracts and Apps

  • Smart Contract: Self-executing code stored on a blockchain that automatically enforces agreement terms once predetermined conditions are met—eliminating the need for intermediaries.
  • dApp (Decentralized Application): Applications built on top of a blockchain network that run via smart contracts rather than centralized cloud servers.
  • Gas Fees: Network transaction fees paid to validators or miners to cover the computational energy required to process actions on a blockchain.
  • Layer 1 vs. Layer 2:

    • Layer 1 (L1): The underlying primary blockchain network (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) that handles base security and finality.
    • Layer 2 (L2): Secondary frameworks or companion networks built on top of an L1 to increase transaction speeds and lower gas fees (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism, Base).

💰 4. Financial & Market Concepts

  • Tokenomics: The economic design, supply dynamics, utility, and distribution model of a cryptocurrency or token project.
  • DeFi (Decentralized Finance): Financial services—such as lending, borrowing, trading, and earning interest—built on smart contracts without traditional banks or financial intermediaries.
  • Liquidity: The ease with which an asset can be bought or sold in a market without significantly impacting its price.
  • DYOR (Do Your Own Research): A foundational golden rule in the Web3 space reminding users to independently verify technical code, whitepapers, and team backgrounds before making any capital commitments.

💡 Quick Cheat Sheet

"Not your keys, not your coins."

If you do not hold the private keys or seed phrase to your digital wallet, you do not truly own the assets inside it—a centralized entity or exchange does. Always prioritize security first as you explore the space.

AI Is Coming for Your Job Title

Artificial intelligence may or may not take your job, but it has already broken into the human resources department and vandalized the org chart.

The evidence is all over LinkedIn, where perfectly serviceable occupations now arrive wearing titles such as “forward-deployed and agentic AI architect.” That person may be building sophisticated software. They may also be helping a chatbot remember what happened three prompts ago. Either way, somebody approved the business cards.

The expanding AI lexicon offers a useful counterpoint to the darker debate about technology and employment. Most discussion centers on how many jobs AI will eliminate. Hiring data presents a more complicated picture that includes a weak overall labor market containing a small but rapidly growing neighborhood of AI-related work.

Indeed Hiring Lab found that the number of postings on Indeed mentioning AI surged 134% from its February 2020 level by the end of 2025, even as total postings stood only 6% above that benchmark. AI appeared in a record 4.2% of Indeed postings in December.

AI, in other words, is not merely changing work. It is adding syllables to it.

The Titles Employers Actually Want

The undisputed champion is AI engineer, which ranked No. 1 on LinkedIn’s 2026 Jobs on the Rise list. The ranking, based on growth during the previous three years, also highlighted AI consultants and strategists, AI and machine-learning researchers and data annotators.

The title is popular partly because it is wonderfully accommodating. An AI engineer might build applications around large language models, connect corporate data to an AI system, improve model performance or spend Thursday afternoon persuading a customer service bot not to offer refunds for products the company doesn’t sell.

Indeed’s data showed the terminology spreading beyond Silicon Valley. Nearly 45% of data and analytics postings contained an AI-related term at the end of 2025, along with roughly 15% of marketing postings and 9% of human resources listings. A more recent Indeed analysis reported by Business Insider found that the number of frequently advertised job titles explicitly referencing AI rose from 264 in 2022 to 822 in the first quarter of 2026. Nearly two-thirds were outside traditional technology fields.

That produces titles such as AI marketing manager, AI learning specialist, responsible AI counsel and AI transformation lead. These are not always new occupations. Frequently, they are familiar jobs that have discovered a highly effective résumé keyword.

LinkedIn data cited by the World Economic Forum estimated that AI investment has supported 1.3 million positions, including AI engineers, data annotators and forward-deployed engineers, plus more than 600,000 AI-enabled data center jobs. The server racks, unlike the chatbots, still need electricians.

The Jobs With the Science-Fiction Salaries

At the upper end, AI has created a compensation market that resembles professional sports, except the competitors wear hoodies and discuss inference latency.

A Syracuse University review put chief AI officer compensation between $200,000 and more than $500,000, while specialized roles can exceed $400,000 after bonuses and equity. Frontier research engineers, AI infrastructure specialists and engineers who can train or deploy advanced models command some of the largest packages.

Then there is the forward-deployed engineer, an old Palantir title that the AI boom has placed on a rocket sled. These engineers embed with customers, translating an executive’s desire to “do something with AI” into software that works. The Next Web reported that Indeed postings for the role were about 19 times higher in January than a year earlier.

A CTO guide from the blog Signal Through the Noise placed forward-deployed engineer compensation between $238,000 and $700,000, research-engineering packages as high as $1.4 million and chief AI officer compensation above $1 million in some cases. It also made a less flattering observation: Many lavishly differentiated titles describe the same three basic functions. People build AI products, train models or keep the infrastructure from catching fire.

The Department of Unnecessary Titles

AI has created some genuinely new work. Evals engineers design tests to determine whether models perform reliably. AI red teamers try to make systems fail before customers do. Model behavior engineers study why an AI system responds as it does. AI governance leaders manage risks involving data, bias, security and regulation.

Other titles seem to have escaped from a brainstorming retreat.

There is the Claude Evangelist, whose mission apparently combines product education with the traditional duties of an apostle. There are vibe coders, who build software by describing what they want and accepting AI-generated code with varying degrees of supervision. “Vibe engineer” is the more respectable version, roughly equivalent to putting on a blazer before asking the machine to fix the login page.

“Context engineer” is a real discipline involving the data, instructions, memory and tools supplied to AI models. “Prompt engineer,” once advertised as a possible six-figure profession for gifted chatbot whisperers, is increasingly treated as one skill inside a broader AI role.

The CTO guide also identified “builder,” “AI-native developer,” “RAG engineer,” “agentic AI engineer” and “principal agentic GenAI forward-deployed context architect,” the last of which appears to require both technical proficiency and exceptional lung capacity.

Has AI created entirely new jobs? Absolutely. Some occupations, including AI safety, evaluation and model governance, exist because modern generative systems introduced new technical and business problems. However, many job titles are old jobs with fresh vocabulary, higher salary bands and a sudden aversion to the words “software developer.”

That may be the safest prediction about AI and employment. The machines will automate some tasks, generate others and force companies to rethink the division of labor. Before any of that is settled, however, corporate America will form a steering committee, appoint a chief agentic transformation evangelist and schedule a meeting to determine what that person does.
