2024 is slated to be the year of the wood dragon. What color, you ask? Emerald green. And where does this green wood dragon reside? Japan or China seem like two good places to start looking.
The Chinese horoscope calls for 2024 to be the Year Of The Wood Dragon.
According to the Chinese Horoscope 2024, the dragon represents authority, prosperity, and good fortune.
Chinese mythology appears to be the source of Japanese dragon mythology.
While the “year” of the dragon happens every 12 years, the powerful “wood dragon” animal sign appears once every 60 years. It represents palatable things like authority, prosperity, and good fortune.
Japanese mythology describes a similar “wood dragon” for 2024.
Opportunities await the bold in the Year of the Wood Dragon (1/1/24)
Though Japan welcomed the dragon on Jan. 1, Chinese New Year isn't for another month
Rather than get our team and our subscribers further lost in Japanese and Chinese dragon mythology, we decided to check-in on the country of Japan to see how its “year of the dragon” is going after just 3 weeks.
Remember, it has been 15 years since the mysterious Japanese figure named Satoshi Nakamoto came on the scene to introduce Bitcoin to the world in January 2009. This blockchain digital currency was touted as an alternative to a government-backed fiat currency. Some have referred to Bitcoin as the Beta Test Coin (BTC). After a 6-year absence on Twitter/X, Satoshi suddenly reappeared last week as did the mention of his name in the US MSM by notables like Gary Gensler, SEC Chairman and Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan CEO. Does this all seem quite odd?
In addition to claiming to be the “home” of Bitcoin, Japan currently holds the largest sum of US Treasury securities in billions of dollars so you are wise to pay very close attention to any country appearing towards the top of this list.
Japan may hold the financial keys to all sorts of things, including the collapsing of the US dollar, recently downgraded by Morgan Stanley on 1/5/23.
Did you know that over 150 earthquakes occurred in Japan on or around 1/1/24?
This seemed like a major news story to us. How much do you know about this? If you are being honest, the answer is “very little.” Similar to the destruction that occurred in Lahaina, Hawaii, the US MSM news coverage has seemed “off” and quite muffled on what appears on the surface to be a major news story. Why is the US MSM so quiet when an entire G7 member country has been devastated by earthquakes, some that apparently had the power to disintegrate swaths of buildings while leaving other structures standing nearby? This is just one snapshot taken from a lengthy drone video posted by AccuWeather on X.
Oddly, there were multiple reports of people witnessing odd behavior involving ducks and birds. It is our understanding that animal and bird behaviors can be manipulated by sound wave frequency, electromagnetic waves, and/or other similar HAARP technologies.
Were these 150+ earthquakes a natural, act of God type of occurrence or were these “earthquakes” cover for an act of war or something else altogether? Hard to tell right? However, our team has never seen an earthquake selectively destroy swaths of buildings and disintegrate the same structures to ashes.
Of course, one must also consider an entirely different explanation for all of this. Is it possible that the deep underground tunnel systems were being destroyed in and under Japan, causing earthquakes to occur at varying levels….causing tsunamis to develop in the sea…and causing massive destruction clearly evident above ground to the buildings connected to the tunnels? We can neither confirm or deny this alternative explanation so it is good to simply file it in the “open mind” folder of your brain.
Let’s set the “controlled demolition of the underground tunnels” theory aside for now and simply test the “act of war” theory. If this was an act of war against Japan, what would be the reason for this? Have there been any reports of any other odd things happening in Japan? Well, maybe. It looks like there was an odd plane collision with a coast guard plane at the airport and the Tokyo home of former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka was burned to the ground. Check out the photos.
Testing the “act of war” theory a little more, what exactly was Japan doing in the weeks leading up to these earthquakes on 1/1/24?
The Global Central Bank of Japan initiates deployment of XRP for global payment solutions (12/19/23)
In an historic and forward-thinking move, SBI Remit, a subsidiary of SBI VC Trade, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with Ripple and SBI Ripple Asia, signaling the launch of international remittance services powered by XRP. This strategic collaboration, announced by SBI Holdings chairman and CEO Yoshitaka Kitao, signifies a momentous leap forward in the ongoing transformation of global payment solutions.
Japan was forging ahead, on a GLOBAL scale, with Ripple XRP as the world reserve exchange currency. Did this get the attention of those opposed to this? Was this the “start” of XRP rippling across Asia? This follow-up story, published two weeks later by the same source using a different author’s name, details the exact same thing.
In a groundbreaking move set to reshape the landscape of international remittance services, SBI Remit, a subsidiary of SBI VC Trade and a part of SBI Japan, has joined forces with Ripple and SBI Ripple Asia to introduce a novel solution leveraging XRP. This strategic partnership, announced by SBI Holdings chairman and CEO Yoshitaka Kitao, is poised to revolutionize cross-border transactions, starting with an emphasis on bank accounts in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Groundbreaking? Reshaping the landscape? These are very interesting ways to describe this in the backdrop of 150+ earthquakes occurring just days later. Quite prophetic!
XRP’s main partner in Japan highlights XRP price progress (1/1/24)
This entity (SBI) is set to introduce Ripple's XRP-enabled remittance solution to bank accounts in Southeast Asia. The implementation is scheduled to commence this month, marking a significant step toward increasing the utility of XRP in the region.
Would this be reason for war? XRP’s utility usage increasing? BRICS economies emerging? Wait a second though! Japan is NOT a member of BRICS, correct? Why would Japan be advancing XRP as the world’s reserve currency?
Let’s take a moment to review a few more of Japan’s most recent actions.
Did you find it odd that Nippon Steel Corporation, a Japanese company, recently purchased United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) based in Pittsburgh? The US Steel industry is now “for sale” to the highest bidder from foreign countries? We found the stock symbol “X” for USSC to be quite intriguing.

And what exactly is Japan standing for, right here and right now, as one of the G7 nations that are all apparently NOT invited to the BRICS party? This formal statement from Japan’s foreign minister is quite lengthy, but it tells quite a story if you have time to read it.
G7 Japan 2023 Foreign Ministers’ Statement (11/8/23)
We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union, are more united than ever in the pursuit of international peace, security, and prosperity.
And what is anyone to think about the recent moon landing that Japan allegedly completed on Saturday, 1/20/24? The reports of this story all say that JAXA completed its mission on Saturday while the date stamps for reporting in the US show a date of Friday, 1/19/24. Do not be confused by this as the reference to Saturday, 1/20 involves Tokyo time.
Japan just became the fifth country in history to soft-land on the moon’s surface when its spacecraft touched down early Saturday (Tokyo time).
Here are some of the pictures and comments shared by others.
The key takeaway from all of these happenings in Japan is that something quite strange happened in Japan on 1/1/24 and no one seems to care. The question is why? First and foremost, how/why did so many “earthquakes” occur at one time? And why the silence from the US MSM? Silence is deafening at times. We all need to listen to the silence just as much as we devote our time to listening to the noise everyday.
Our team’s advice is to pay very close attention to Japan in 2024.
Just remember, the XRP ledger and Ripple coin were “born” in 2012 - the “Year of the Black Water Dragon.” Ripple XRP is a dragon, in and of itself, celebrating its 12 year-old birthday in 2024.
2024 is the “Year of the Green Wood Dragon” with an official start date of 2/10/24 in China.
In the much-anticipated Year of the Green Wooden Dragon, the traditional calendar from the country of the Red Dragon invites us to immerse ourselves in the lush and vibrant energy of green.
“The Year of the Wood Dragon” already started in Japan on 1/1/24, a “leap year.”
After day #1 in 2024, all we really know for sure is that a very unique cloud is hanging over the Japan earthquake story, and we mean, quite literally.
We are living through mysterious and historic times. Every gut instinct tells us that we are all about to take quite a leap in 2024. Annus mirabilis!
Annus mirabilis (pl. anni mirabiles) is a Latin phrase that means "marvelous year", "wonderful year", "miraculous year", "year of wonder" or "amazing year".
God grant each of you peace and prosperity in 2024: The Year of the Wood Dragon.
