Introduction and Communication
Charles introduces a new way of communicating on certain topics, expressing frustration that despite his repeated clarifications, misunderstandings persist.
Ethereum and XRP Case
He delves into the topic of the XRP case and the speculation surrounding Ethereum's alleged 'free pass' from the SEC. Charles emphasizes the distinction between two concerns: whether Ethereum received preferential treatment and if individuals from Ethereum influenced the SEC.
Baseline Stance
Charles clarifies his positions: he opposes corruption, disapproves of using relationships to unduly influence government policy, and has never considered XRP a security.
Comparisons with Other Issues
He draws parallels with other issues, such as the origins of Covid and the lack of investigations into significant matters in the U.S., suggesting that the reasons behind any 'free pass' are multifaceted and not solely rooted in corruption.
Lack of Investigations
Charles laments the decline of thorough investigations in the U.S., asserting that without proper inquiry, it's challenging to ascertain the truth behind many allegations or concerns.
Futility of Certain Discussions
He expresses the futility of certain discussions, especially when they won't lead to actionable outcomes. Charles cites various examples, including the 'Audit the FED' movement and the lack of repercussions for major financial institutions after the 2008 crisis.
Evidence and Conspiracies
Charles challenges the community to provide concrete evidence supporting the claim that Ethereum influenced the SEC against XRP. He underscores the need for tangible proof, such as emails or recordings, rather than relying on unsupported conspiracy theories.
Corporatism and Influence
Highlighting the pervasive nature of corporatism in the U.S., Charles points out how various industries, from pharma to education, leverage their influence to shape policies and regulations in their favor.
