Ben Bags Runs Into King, the Royal Crypto Influencer

I wasn’t expecting to see King that night. The most popular crypto influencer, the guy whose tweets send coins flying or crashing in real-time, just standing there, VIP section, crown-shaped pendant shining under the neon lights.

I froze for a second. If I could get him on board with $STB…

My mind started racing.

I pictured it—King dropping a tweet:

🚨 “Just secured a bag of $STB. This might be the next big thing. #STBArmy stand up!” 🚨

Boom. Telegram floods with new members. The chart? Liftoff. Crypto X (formerly Twitter) flooded with hype. Influencers debating. Degens FOMO’ing in.

Then, I imagine the real plays—$STB partnerships, influencers jumping on, exchanges listing us. Community engagement through the roof.

Next thing you know, $STB isn’t just another token—it’s a movement.

I snap back to reality. King’s still talking, laughing with some big-name traders. If I could just get him to listen.

I take a deep breath. Time to make a move.

“Yo, King, you ever heard of $STB?” …

Buying XRP is easier than buying the dip before it moons.

This morning the Bearded Trader shows up to my house and slams his coffee on the table. “Ben, you made me wait all night with an empty wallet. Now tell me HOW DO I BUY XRP?”

Ben Bags smirks. “Bro, where’s my coffee?”

The Bearded Trader groans. “Just tell me how to buy it, man.”

Ben leans back. “Alright, listen up. This is easier than buying the dip before it moons”

1️⃣ Pick your Exchange. 

“Sign up on Coinbase, Robinhood or any other exchange you choose. Buy XRP with cash, credit, or trade another crypto.”

The Bearded Trader scratches his head. “Which is best?”

Ben shrugs. “Depends on your vibe. Exchanges are easy, but if you want full control, buy and transfer it to your wallet ASAP.”

2️⃣ Receive & Secure the Bag

Ben leans in. “Once you buy XRP, send it to your wallet address. Make sure you read the fine print about the MEMO. If it requires a memo then whatever you do, DO NOT forget the memo. Cause your XRP will be lost in the space time continuum. Also, before you go all in, test it with a small amount first. You don’t want to be that guy who loses everything over a typo.”

The Bearded Trader checks his phone. “Okay, I bought some. It’s in my wallet. Now what?”

Ben grins. “Now you decide—hold it, trade it, or stake it. But no matter what, always secure the bag.”

Bonus Tips for XRP Beginners:

⚡ Keep an eye on transaction fees – “XRP is cheap to send, but always double-check fees before moving large amounts.”

🔐 Never share your private keys – “Scammers are everywhere. If someone asks, run.”

📈 Don’t FOMO into pumps – “Patience is key. Buy low, secure the bag, and let the market work for you.”

The Bearded Trader smirks. “Alright, Ben. I think I got this.”

Ben nods. “Welcome to the game, bro. Now don’t fumble the bag.”

Just then G. Dollars shows up. Patting Ben on the back he says “#FACTS, I taught you right Ben. Welcome to the club Bearded Trader.”

Bearded Trader Asks Me About XRPL—Here’s What I Told Him

So I’m chilling in my favorite crypto Telegram group, dropping my usual #facts and stacking $STB, when this dude—let’s call him Bearded Trader—slides in with a question:

“Yo, Ben, I keep hearing about XRPL. How do I even get started?”

Now, Bearded Trader is no rookie. He’s seen some pumps, he’s been wrecked a few times, and he’s still in the game—respect. But when it comes to XRPL, he’s clueless. And honestly? That’s most people.

So I broke it down for him real simple. 

Step 1: Get Yourself an XRPL-Compatible Wallet

”First things first, my guy, you need a wallet that supports XRPL. You can’t just throw XRPL on MetaMask and call it a day.”

And I introduced him to FirstLedger.net—the heart of the XRP chain.

Step 2: Activate That Bad Boy

Activating your First Ledger wallet is as easy as finding a meme coin in the crypto jungle.

1. Visit the First Ledger Website: Navigate to firstledger.net.

2. Connect Your Telegram Account: Click on “Connect” and follow the prompts to link your Telegram account.

3. Create a New Wallet: After connecting, click on the “Wallet” button and select “Create XRPL Wallet”. Give your wallet a catchy name— perhaps Moonbags or HODLer’s Haven.

4. Save Your Recovery Phrase: You’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down and guard it like the secret recipe to your favorite snack— without it, access to your wallet could be lost forever.

5. Fund Your Wallet: Here’s the one thing that throws people off: you need at least 10 XRP to activate your wallet.

Bearded Trader hits me with: “Wait, I gotta lock up XRP just to use the chain?”

Yes, my dude. But it’s not a scam, it’s actually genius. The reserve requirement prevents spam attacks and keeps the network clean. Unlike certain chains (cough Solana cough), XRPL doesn’t randomly halt because of bots spamming nonsense.

I tell him: Just think of it as the bouncer fee to get into the VIP crypto club. Except instead of some overpriced bottle service, you get fast, cheap, and secure transactions.

6. Start Trading: With your wallet activated, you’re ready to dive into the world of XRP trading. Remember, in the crypto wild west, always trade responsibly and keep your private keys secure

I see Bearded Trader getting hyped now. “Alright, alright— where do I buy XRP?”

And I tell him, “That’s tomorrow’s lesson.”

Why XRPL is my Ride-or-Die Blockchain

Yo, it’s ya boy Ben Bags, and today I gotta put ya’all on to the XRP Ledger (XRPL)—aka my favorite blockchain to send, spend, and (most importantly) secure the bag. Now, I know what you’re thinking:

”Ben, don’t you just chase pumps and send Hail Mary limit orders?

Nah. I move strategically. And XRPL? That’s a calculated play. Let me break it down in the simplest way possible before you go full degen on another gas fee-ridden chain.

•• Fees So Low, I Could Cry

Ever tried sending Ethereum on a busy day? It’s like trying to buy a McChicken but being told it costs $75 just to use the register. Nah, I’m good.

•• Transactions Move Faster Than a Whale Dump

I don’t have patience for slow transactions. I’m a crypto degen, not a monk. XRPL settles transactions in 3-5 seconds. THREE TO FIVE SECONDS.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin out here taking 10+ minutes like it’s buffering a YouTube video from 2007. XRPL? Boom, done, next.

•• Decentralized Exchange (DEX) That Just Works

You ever try using one of those clunky DeFi platforms where you gotta sign 14 transactions, approve 3 contracts, and still get front-run by bots? Bruh.

XRPL’s built-in DEX has been running smoothly since before most of these chains even existed. It lets me trade assets natively, with no shady middlemen and no slippage shenanigans.

•• Built for the Future, Not Just for Hype

A lot of blockchains out here feel like temporary casinos, but XRPL is built different. It’s been running since 2012 with zero downtime, real partnerships, and actual adoption.

Meanwhile, some of these “next big thing” chains can barely survive one bear market without devs jumping ship. I need something reliable, not something that disappears faster than my ex when crypto crashes.

Final Thoughts: XRPL is the Move

Listen, I love taking risks, but I also love having a safe haven for my funds when things get wild. XRPL lets me move money fast, for cheap, and without stress. No crazy gas fees, no rugs, just pure efficiency.

So yeah, Ben Bags is officially Team XRPL, securing the bag shouldn’t mean paying half of it in fees.

The Art of Doing Nothing (While Waiting for the Bull Run)

Alright, I’ll admit it—I checked the charts 47 times before noon today. Nothing moved. Not up, not down, just sideways.

The crypto gods are testing my patience.

Waiting for the bull run is like waiting for your food at a sketchy 24-hour diner. You know it’s coming, but you don’t know when or if it’s gonna be good or give you food poisoning. One minute, you’re optimistic. The next, you’re questioning life choices and considering a side hustle selling feet pics to fund the dip buys. Stay strong, fellow degenerates.

Every cycle, the impatient ones get shaken out, while the real ones stack, meme, and wait. That’s why we don’t chase pumps, we make them. If you’re feeling restless, here’s what you can do instead of panic selling:

1️⃣ Touch grass. It’s still free (for now).

2️⃣ Make a “Bull Run Plans” list. Mansion? Lambo? A slightly nicer apartment with in-unit laundry? Dream big.

3️⃣ Shill $STB harder. The bull run will come faster if we manifest it. That’s just science.

4️⃣ Practice your reaction. You gotta be ready to say “I told you so” with style when normies FOMO in.

5️⃣ HODL. Because let’s be real—selling now would only make you sad later.

The market will move when it’s ready. Until then, we wait, we stack, and we stay bullish. Because when the bull run hits, I’m not just securing the bag—I’m securing the vault.

Stay patient, stay degen, and most importantly—stay in the game.
