The Compound Governance Token is a governance token on the Compound Finance lending protocol, COMP allows the owner to delegate voting rights to the address of their choice; the owner’s wallet, another user, an application, or a DeFi expert. Anybody can participate in Compound governance by receiving delegation, without needing to own COMP.  Anybody with 1% of COMP delegated to their address can propose a governance action; these are simple or complex sets of actions, such as adding support for a new asset, changing an asset’s collateral factor, changing a market’s interest rate model, or changing any other parameter or variable of the protocol that the current administrator can modify.

Compound

Concerns about the Compound Foundation and DAO's financial runway are circulating, with some community members projecting a potential 'zero' value for the token if the situation doesn't improve; this contrasts with others expressing bullish sentiment and highlighting Compound's potential in the RWA (Real World Asset) space. The community is actively debating the protocol's revenue, expenses, governance, and competitive positioning within the DeFi landscape. Discussions also include potential short squeezes and the impact of dilution on COMP's price.

Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Ripple

XRP is trending as the crypto community discusses its recent price movement and potential decoupling from Bitcoin. Anticipation around XRP ETFs and Ripple's acquisitions are key talking points, with some traders eyeing a continued rally while others remain cautious of potential pullbacks.

The 401jk (just kidding) meme is a satirical punch in the gut in the face of the concept of retirement and also the 401k.

As time passes forevermore true retirement, or as we like to call it real freedom will only become much harder and harder for people to attain.  Through meme fueled laser focus and cyperphunk ideology the 401jK meme retirement fund token and community aim to point out the absurdities of how rigged our current system is, and how only insiders and those with power are starting the benefit from the increased centralization of cryptocurrency.........while also aiming to flip the $12 trillion USD 401k system to achieve freedom before our backs and knees are breaking.
