This is Chun Wang - he just made history as the first human to purchase and command a space mission exploring Earth’s poles. Chun mined Bitcoin when it was worth $1 and founded the first Bitcoin mining pool in China, still one of the world’s largest to this day.
Serious question.
XRP is often criticized (or defended) for being a “centralized crypto” because Ripple controls a large share of the supply and influences the network. But doesn’t that make it similar to something like Fortnite V-Bucks? Epic controls them, you can’t use them outside their ecosystem, and they can change the rules or supply at will.
What makes XRP fundamentally different from a digital currency in a gaming ecosystem? Is it just the intent to be used in finance? Or is there a structural or legal difference I’m missing?
So probably everyone at some point found characteristic Guy on youtube and his content. I was following since 2020. I do remember, he used to share his portfolio on the videos, and also email newsletter. Now i can see there is paid hub, to get aceess to things, that once were free. Well, its not something i do like, and its not about the money itself but approach.. I know everyone wants their buck for little piece of advice or shared knowledge, but yet it's nothing guaranteed. Still a gamble. Do you think these kind of practices are fair? For me, it blows all the principle they presented back in the day, which actually inclined me to watch his content and even share further. Anyway is there anyone using that hub or is there a way to find what Guy holds/buys/sell right now? Maybe some special subred shares this kind of stuff? Or maybe group buy, is it still a thing in 2025? Cause 500$ yearly seems bit too much.

Formula 1 And Sponsors
Formula 1 is by far one of the costliest sports on the planet, and it has an equally large following. Any large viewership is bound to attract sponsors, and there have been many over the years.
Fun Fact: With a following of 827 million, F1 is the seventh most popular sport. The top six are soccer, cricket, hockey, tennis, volleyball, and table tennis.
The cryptoverse’s advent was only in the 21st century with the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. It has undoubtedly exploded since then, with a total market cap of $2.8 trillion.
Sooner or later crypto had to come knocking at the doors of F1. And it did.
Crypto | Exposure | Awareness | And F1
Like any new concept (especially a concept doing well), crypto too required a large exposure to create awareness. Thus, F1 became one of the avenues. The association between F1 and crypto commenced in 2021, and it is still going strong.
A look at the F1 teams and their crypto sponsors in 2025.
Besides these team sponsors, crypto(dot)com is the overall sponsor of the F1 organization.
Fun Fact: Aston Martin becomes the first F1 team to accept its Coinbase sponsorship in crypto. Aston Martin was paid in USDC (crypto stablecoin).
Such sponsorships are an attempt to reach the crypto non-users. With an estimated 560 million crypto users worldwide, the world is indeed an oyster for the crypto verse.
While the F1-Crypto association highlights the exposure that the crypto world seeks, it's hard to ignore that the cryptoverse is already big enough to sponsor F1 teams and events. The F1-Crypto tango will continue for the foreseeable future, and it augurs well for all!
