Alright, let’s unpack LS Jackson’s take on Ripple’s upcoming stablecoin and XRP. There’s a lot to digest, and while the video brings solid foundational education, a few claims need sharper edges. I’m rolling up my sleeves to break this down piece-by-piece, call out what’s right, wrong, or murky, and sprinkle in some fire takes with “dope vibes” so we can all come out wiser.

Let’s go super deep. Strap in.

This is a response to this video:

🎯 What LS Jackson Got Right

1. Stablecoins Serve a Different Purpose Than XRP

Jackson nails this. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC act as fiat-backed digital cash equivalents. They solve a simple problem: stable value transfers on blockchain rails, something institutions drool over. Why? Because nobody in their right mind wants the volatility of regular cryptos when payroll, loans, and payments are on the line.
