An excitement to get started DOING something with that idea right now, just like like Alex did.

Hey Bob, Ive been following Alex for a couple years now, witnessed his growth as an influencer, he's a true testament to the evolution of the XRP community. Many hate on him for various reasons however imo compared with the majority of the youtube channels his is one of the least fluff available. Unfortunately there are too many others which mislead and take advantage of the naive nature of those in this space providing utter nonsense as fact to gain a following. CKJ, SamIam, Brad Kimes, The Working Money Channel, are a few of the shameful culprits spewing misinformation to gain notoriety. Whats unfortunate is their content tarnishes the image of those in the XRP community and they do more harm than good. A review of their channel content clearly indicates the misleading nature of these players. 

Alex is definitely not indicative of his generation, his pursuit in this field and his maturity is quite admirable. He has been forthcoming whenever he may have illustrated something which was not as initially understood and he has been genuine in his attempts to convey concise information into the marketplace to those who are willing to skip the get rich quick fluff being sold elsewhere as gospel. Indeed there are also a few other respectful channels in this community, to name a few; OZ Crypto, Jungle Inc, Crypto Eri, Thinking Crypto, Cryptocurrency News. 

Wishing you all well!

Thank you very much for curating this list for me. I'm just getting caught back up on the community at large.

Others, please add other quality references you know.

And I can't stress this more. It is hugely important.  We need to know about communities, streams, blogs, and other informations sources that people use in other countries, and other languages. Especially in regions like South America, Africa, India, the Middle East, and Asia. These different XRP fan communities are often disconnected. Everyone benefits when quality information travels from one community to all of the others.

Please keep in mind, the big interest run up in XRP absolutely started in Korea when nobody here or at Ripple was watching. There really is no excuse for having blindspots like that in this day and age.

There is also Digital Asset Investor. He’s good too. I most go to his channel and Alex.

Waiting to here the community response here.

just as feedback and just my opinion Digital asset investor is my favourite one to watch every day, short videos covering the latest news & although he is massively pro XRP not too hype. I did go off Alex's vids as he is a little ott on the hype front but I'm not going to heckle optimism too much as that is a quality I love, more the TA & long streams which just doesn't float my boat but each to their own. Crypto Eri is probably my second favourite for just presenting info/news & the Japanese side of it......

Susie is very pro XRP and provided a realistic overview, unfortunately she was personally attacked in her comments for not pushing the popular views on price predictions if memory serves me correctly and she opted to remove herself from public scrutiny. However she does still on occasion still post sporadically and remains bullish XRP.

Kungfu Nerd had developed a following however a spat with Alex over broadcasting times became his demise.

DM Logic also extremely pro XRP was also quite popular at one time as well, he too was personally criticized which led to less activity.

Love for Crypto is also pro XRP although his video format is difficult to get accustomed to.

The Modern Investor as well is pro XRP and provides adequate news covering mostly from the most popular online publications. 

XRP Zoo is a live show with youtube influencers from other channels as guests where they discuss their opinions on XRP, they are pro XRP

Smaller bullish XRP channels who mostly discuss topics seen on other channels;

DustyBC is pro XRP 

CryptOak is pro XRP

The Crypto Ginger is pro XRP 

Cryptzilla is pro XRP

XRP News pro XRP

Rob Art pro XRP

Rob Cash pro XRP

I used to run a blog and did Forex trading on twitch a few times.

 

Not really convenient for me to be a YouTuber because of my shared living space. The price I pay for $275 rent 😂

 

I will do it eventually, once I cash out a couple % for a nice down payment on a fourplex and around the time my brother will probably be moving out.

i dont think watching a youtube channel is something people do when they want the 'news', its better to read about a lot of stuff yourself and learn about it - instead of listening to another persons interpretation of something he might or might not know a lot about - sooner or later you will lose the ability to judge for yourself because you stopped taking the effort of reading yourself.. by then you are being used that everything is chewed for you before you swallow. Get the real taste of this, read read read read & read. Way more fun too, and you wont clickbait yourself into becoming a sub on 'secret guest' and 'inside information' that non of them have

This is what I see sadly happening to a large amount of Millennials and Gen Z kids.

 

Most have been conditioned with social media and lack critical thinking and deductive reasoning skills.

ye, they tend to like to shoutout who they think is right, usually just go with the popular opinion as they dont know who is right or wrong, but bet on the majority. Easy targets for hypes, scams, bots and fake stuff

Yes that's true, however you may not the vast majority of people in this space particularly in the XRP army get their information from youtube and social media chewed for them as you call it. The vast majority dont understand the technology, have little knowledge to no experience in the markets, cannot gauge market sentiment, cycles, or investing, they are investing based on what they heard and hoping to bet on the right horse. They observed BTC rise from hundreds to thousands with no partnerships and now are hoping to pick the next winner, one said XRP is akin to owning a winning lottery ticket in which you watch your winnings rise in slow motion. It is important to understand the community behind each asset class.
