Two years ago Judge Torres stated “XRP itself is not a security” and cited the nearly 4K XRP Holder Affidavits I submitted in the case.

Out of over 2K Exhibits submitted by the parties, Judge Torres only cited a few dozen in her Summary Judgment Decision - XRP Holder Affidavits was one of them.

When ruling secondary market sales of XRP NOT securities, she ALSO cited my efforts as amicus counsel for @naomibrockwell in the @LBRYcom case (see FN XX of the Decision).

One hour after the Torres Decision, @coinbase @krakenfx and others relisted XRP for trading and we made HISTORY defeating the @SECGov.

NEVER let someone tell you that you can’t make a difference and that it’s useless fighting the Government.

The XRP Holders who joined the cause deserve much credit. @naomibrockwell deserves credit for taking the risk of highlighting herself by allowing me to represent her as amicus counsel. We made a real difference in Crypto history and we have the receipts to prove it. 

And thanks to @CGasparino for not picking a cheap restaurant in Manhattan. The 🥩 and 🥃 and convo were all great!
