XRP & AI: Your Path to Financial Freedom (Governments Can't Stop It)
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.0:00 - Intro2:00 - Digital ID in the UK3:30 - Starmer is out of touch on Digital ID4:30 - Nigel Farage - can you trust him to buy and hold crypto6:15 - XRP ETF approval needs to happen7:15 - XRP ETF may not perform compared to BTC and ETH8:10 - Price is already baked in for XRP ETF9:45 - If Demand hits - XRP to $1011:30 - Macro pressure is key to the ETF's success13:30 - Will retail enter XRP ETFs or direct asset17:15 - CEXs are pushing the edge for profit19:00 - Programmable CBDC23:00 - Banks will incorporate Stablecoins that are CBDCs in disguise24:00 - Can XRP create a new path to financial freedom24:30 - Will the UK allow this programmable money to happen26:45 - Once you experience crypto, programmable money will never take hold27:20 - Capital is power - more capital = more Freedom28:00 - Aware vs Unaware will be the key to freedom29:30 - Agentic AI using XRP for settlement32:00 - Are banks setting up preferred agreements for the future of crypto33:00 - Palmer Lucky and Peter Thiel could launch a bank35:00 - Privacy could be the real issue in surveillance for money 36:00 - Crypto Asset reporting is the next step37:40 - Now direct feed of crypto accounts into tax orgs38:30 - UK is nearing China restrictions41:51 - UK Largest exodus of wealth43:00 - GenZ rushing into Digital Assets44:40 - Christians and Crypto becoming unified====================================~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~The Best Self-Custody Crypto Wallet - Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Unlock Your Path to Wealth With The Forge MembershipThe all-in-one membership for investors, entrepreneurs, and future wealth leaders, powered by the Paul Barron Network. https://bit.ly/pbnmembership More Insights on TikTok https://bit.ly/PBPODTOK Twitter 📱 https://bit.ly/pbpodx Check out our Main YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/paulbarronnetwork

Wall Street Has 1000 Days Left? Why XRP Could Become the Payment Rail for AI Agents
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. The discussion reveals how attention—not computation—will become the scarcest commodity as AI creation costs approach zero, fundamentally shifting value from production to curation.0:00 - Intro 2:00 - How AI and Crypto intersect3:30 - How will Money flow with AI 5:00 - AI will change Money and Value6:00 - Crypto is AI money7:00 - When will AI and Crypto Intersect8:30 - AI agents setting up for economic impact9:15 - Old Economy to new economy + AI will create a new shift in finance10:30 - Jamie Dimon is not ready for AI integration to blockchain11:30 - Wall Street to be replaced by AI in 1000 days12:30 - Do we really need more power for more AI13:00 - AI getting more streamlined13:45 - AI Scale going to zero - good for crypto?15:00 - GPT5 Level coming to your phone15:45 - Crypto and AI - will Wall Street be able to keep up19:15 - AI set to learn our trading habits and trade for us bu better20:00 - Create a Warren Buffett AI Bot23:40 - AI to define economic structure for an AI diffusion model26:00 - How does blockchain use AI in 1000 days33:00 - AI Continent with a Trillion graduates - no more need for input39:52 - The Fed model gets consumed by AI due to rates and jobs not being reskilled40:20 - Attention is the most scarce commodity41:46 - Xai to release video games next year42:36 - When creation goes to zero, curation increases in value44:00 - AI would not exist without crypto due to GPU demand for early mining45:30 - All major companies will have an AI-integrated blockchain46:00 - Community will dominate attention for intelligent contracts vs smart contracts50:00 - Cross-chain - blockspace to explode with an AI agent to use the best tools51:20 - Agentic crypto flows will find the best solution, and attention networks will explode52:30 - Crypto coming to X and Apple Pay53:00 - Digital Asset bubble will be off the charts even vs AI54:00 - Q1 and Q2 X will have its own chain58:00 - Community will drive narrative vs fundamentals1:01 - Why UBI will not work~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~The Best Self-Custody Crypto Wallet - Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Unlock Your Path to Wealth With The Forge MembershipThe all-in-one membership for investors, entrepreneurs, and future wealth leaders, powered by the Paul Barron Network. https://bit.ly/pbnmembership More Insights on TikTok https://bit.ly/PBPODTOK Twitter 📱 https://bit.ly/pbpodx Check out our Main YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/paulbarronnetwork
