When aerospace engineer Jayse took the stage, introduced as "the crypto guy for Team Light," he brought a clarity born from five years in the trenches of a financial revolution most are just beginning to understand. His message was urgent yet grounded: crypto—specifically XRP—isn't just an investment opportunity. It's the plumbing for a new earth, the mechanism by which Team Light transmutes a parasitic financial system into one that feeds conscious ascension.

"We're going through a global parasite detox," Jayse told the room, "both literally, but also within this financial system."

What Brought a Space Sasquatch-Obsessed Engineer Into the Crypto Rabbit Hole?

Jayse's path to becoming a trusted voice in conscious crypto communities started at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he studied aerospace engineering and served as president of the Aerospace Society. One of his professors had headed the F22 project at Skunk Works, designing "crazy black budget stuff." That exposure, combined with synchronistic psychedelic experiences that "blew open my third eye," catalyzed his awakening.

By 2017, he'd launched a YouTube channel called Cosmic Origins. In 2019, he and his wife Alexis traveled in their van for a year, connecting with the Sedona consciousness community. Then came March 2020. "I was pretty opposed to crypto at the time," he admitted. "I thought it was the new world order." But when someone mentioned XRP at 17 cents—a number he pays attention to—"thank God I did, because it's changed my life."

That initial $5,000 became $50,000 in nine months. "I was like, I'm going all in on this." By 2021 he was coaching. In 2022, he launched the Conscious Crypto Academy. Since then: "multiple six figures within crypto."

But for Jayse, this isn't about personal wealth. "I really believe this is going to be one of the most fundamental, life-changing events that's gonna catalyze much more within the Ascension process and the disclosure process that we're going through."

Why Does True Financial Sovereignty Require Private Keys?

About half the room owned crypto. The other half wanted to but didn't know where to start. Jayse's emphasis from the outset was clear: ownership means control, and control means private keys.

He held up hardware wallets—Ledger and his personal favorite, D'cent. "A private wallet gives you complete control and responsibility," he explained. Without your private key, no government, no CEO, no algorithm can shut you down. Watch the full replay to hear his detailed breakdown of the Canadian trucker rally, where the government terminated bank accounts, PayPals, Venmos, cash apps—even crypto exchange accounts.

"The only way that these guys were actually able to transact remotely outside of in-person cash interactions was with private crypto wallets."

The FTX collapse was another cautionary tale. "People lost millions and billions of dollars, celebrities and people like us alike, little guys and big guys." His rule of thumb: if you have more than five times the cost of a wallet in crypto, get one. Start with a free app wallet, then upgrade to cold storage. "Buy it wherever you can, whatever your access point is, but then get it onto a wallet right away."

With more power comes more responsibility, as Uncle Ben said. Lose your keys, lose your funds. But Jayse was emphatic: the risk of centralized control far outweighs the risk of self-custody once you learn the basics.

What Makes XRP the Backbone of the Quantum Financial System?

This is where Jayse's presentation shifted from practical sovereignty into the visionary architecture of what he and many channelers call the quantum financial system. XRP, he explained, is not competing with gold, silver, or national currencies. It's the connective tissue. "It's literally connecting everything, like a web of interconnected energy around the planet."

XRP settles any transaction—"$10, $1, five cents, 10 million, 20 billion, 50 trillion, one quadrillion"—in two to four seconds. Near-zero fees. No mining. No energy waste. "One Bitcoin transaction can power a home for a few weeks. Isn't that crazy?" In contrast, XRP is green, deflationary, and can scale to 36,000 transactions per second.

He quoted David Schwartz, XRP's chief architect (whom Jayse endearingly calls "a space Sasquatch"): "If XRP costs $1, they would need a million XRP to move a million dollars. If XRP costs a million dollars, they need one XRP to move a million dollars." The higher the price, the more efficient the system. "The price has to be high to facilitate trillions of dollars in transaction payments."

Breaking down how market cap works and why XRP doesn't need quadrillions flowing in

Many skeptics ask: how can XRP reach $10,000 or more without quadrillions of dollars flowing into the market? Jayse dismantled that misconception. Market cap is just price times circulating supply. "All it needs is that the agencies that are using it actually need to use it as a technology and not wanna sell it below $10,000." Liquidity is drying up. Ripple is buying XRP off public exchanges and selling it privately to institutions. The stage is set.

He referenced Brandon Briggs, the prophet who predicted the Trump assassination attempt down to the detail of the ear graze. Briggs has said repeatedly: XRP is going to $10,000. Jayse believes we may have averted the Black Swan collapse timeline, but either way, "this is the life raft."

The "flip the switch" moment—when regulatory green lights fully activate and trillions flow in overnight—could happen any time. Ripple's lawsuit with the SEC is in its final paperwork stages. Within a month or two, "that's when I believe the institutions are gonna have the full green light."

For those ready to explore decentralized finance, staking, liquidity pools, and yield farming, Jayse's academy teaches how to generate 25-50% annual returns while waiting—or after—the wealth transfer. "You're gonna be able to live off of and create with just the interest you're generating from these assets."

Watch the complete event replay to hear Jayse's full breakdown of ISO 20022 compliant coins, the internet of value, tokenization of all assets, and why he believes XRP will become an interplanetary, intergalactic currency for trade with other civilizations. The water codes—Ripple, liquidity, current-C—are everywhere. The plumbing is built. Now we wait for the water to flow.
