Ripple (XRP) Price Surge Driven by Trump's Executive Order 13818 Targeting Assets of Human Rights Abusers and Their Financiers, Signed on December 20, 2017?

in #xrp7 years ago

Everyone knows XRP is a centralized blockchain privately owned and fully controlled by a cabal of banksters. That is why it was so neglected by cryptocurrency enthusiasts since its inception, until suddenly, on December 20 of last year, the price of XRP surged skyward, its trading volume exploded, and it gained $100 billion in nominal market value in a few days, which was nearly 10 times more growth than it had accumulated in all of its previous 5-year lifespan.

What major world event occurred on or around December 20, 2017 which could have triggered this unprecedented appreciation?

Answer: President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13818, "Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption."

The preamble of said executive order reads, "I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems... The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons... and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat." (emphasis added)

The XRP price chart above perfectly mirrors Trump's aggressive moves against international financial crime. Rumors began to spread, perhaps, before he announced the execution of the Order, and XRP started creeping upwards, but when Trump actually applied his signature to the Order, you can see a dramatic spike upwards in XRP's price (red arrow, above) and a radical new upwards trend for the coin.

This type of evidence is called circumstantial evidence, and such evidence is both valid and incriminating in courts of law when it exists in sufficient quantity and quality to make a case. Now, there is plenty of other evidence to prove that until now, child traffickers, drug runners, blackmarket commodities traders (remember the Iraqi Oil smugglers!), and other illegal enterprises have comprised a global black marketplace that is financed through central banks, the IMF and BIS, and similar elite financial apparatus which front and launder the money used in those transactions, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars per year. I will give you one great link, but you wont have to Google far to find more for yourself if you need more. See: Ronald Bernard: Cabal - Banker - Whistleblower.

It has been decades since an American President decided to crack down on human rights abusers and black market enterprises, but now Trump is on the job, and he is on a rampage that has sent the international gangsters scurrying for safety, and they are looking for a safe place to send their dollars too now that EO 13818 has been executed. What better way to continue their fruitful relationship with the global banking system and put their cash out of Trump's reach than via a cryptographically secured currency nurtured and controlled by the same banks that have supported these evil enterprises all along?

And how ironic that they love to paint bitcoin (BTC), the dominant and most decentralized of all cryptocurrencies, as the currency of choice for evil entrepreneurs, when in fact bitcoin is the opposite. On the same day, at the same time, the price of BTC began a major fall (red arrow, below).

In conclusion, I hypothesize that the surge in XRP price represents the flight of capital held by human rights abusers and other gangsters who felt exposed to the sanctions of Executive Order 13818, and that their choice of XRP over BTC as a safe haven for their ill-gotten gains only compounds the reasons why BTC is good for humanity and XRP is a vile remnant of the traditional banking system that should be boycotted.

Correction: XRP is not exactly a blockchain, but a transaction protocol. Nevertheless it is commonly classified as a "coin" asset so I call it a blockchain for simplicity sake.
