Ever since escaping extreme poverty as a child and severe debt as a father in my thirties, my goal has been to build wealth for me and my family, hoping to achieve financial independence. In August 2024, I disclosed to the FEC that 80% of my net worth was in Bitcoin. My next biggest holding was XRP, followed by real estate. Some people criticized me for my XRP investment, calling me either foolish or an idiot. Even after the SEC lawsuit was filed against @Ripple, I predicted XRP would eventually end up being the 2nd largest crypto token behind Bitcoin (not including stable coins). Many folks laughed at my prediction. I’m sure some will still think I’m foolish or an idiot, but I believe I’ll be proven right.
