Quasar Alexander Announces Campaign for Mayor, Vows to 'Fast Forward' South Fulton With a Plan to Empower Residents and Build Wealth
Quasar Alexander Announces South Fulton Mayoral Run SOUTH FULTON, Ga., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrepreneur and community advocate Quasar Alexander has formally announced his candidacy for Mayor of South Fulton, promising a bold agenda to move the city forward—and to finally deliver solutions for families who, like his own, have done everything right but still face emergencies after crisis. Alexander's journey is deeply personal. After years in corporate leadership and building local businesses—including launching Frostology and bringing Stella Rosa Brandy to Atlanta—both his home and business were damaged in a single night when Hurricane Helene struck. 'I made more than $140,000 the year before and still had to fight just to survive—roof damage, insurance battles, FEMA delays, and my mother's passing after Medicaid dropped her and she had no life insurance. It showed me that the middle class is living on a razor's edge, no matter your income. I nearly lost it all!' says Alexander. His Civilian First 'Focus 2026" agenda targets South Fulton's toughest problems with real solutions: —Residents will help decide city spending right from their phones using a NEW smart city app that Alexander is building. —A first for the region, bringing down payment help, fintech/crypto rentals and lending, and city-backed homeownership for those with income but not perfect credit and more. —Strong protections for seniors and legacy homeowners. —City-owned land trusts and savings accounts for every child born into poverty. —Taking on insurance and credit bureaus that block residents' recovery. Alexander, who holds a degree in Interpersonal Communication, emphasizes that 'real progress in a weak-mayor system takes backbone, empathy, relentless synergy & teamwork. I can't be bought—only taught—and I know how to build the relationships needed to get things done fast, with transparency and respect.' A campaign fundraiser will be held August 20; details and RSVP at About Fast Forward South Fulton – Quasar For Mayor: Quasar Alexander is a tech entrepreneur, restaurateur, market builder, and lifelong advocate for the "underdog"/ working families. His 'Focus 2026' (meant to offset the effect of Project 2025 on citizens) agenda sets out to make South Fulton Georgia's most resilient and opportunity-rich city—where residents don't just survive, but thrive!

Is XRP the best buy for $500 today?
Is XRP the best buy for $500 today? originally appeared on TheStreet. A popular post doing the rounds on social media last week claimed XRP was 'the best buy you can make right now with $500.' It sparked both excitement and outrage — but it raised an important question whether XRP truly ready for its moment? Ripple's long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is finally approaching its end. The SEC sued Ripple back in 2020, accusing it of selling XRP as an unregistered security. But in 2023, a major court ruling clarified that XRP is not a security when sold to the general public. Now, Ripple is expected to see the remaining legal appeals dismissed by August 15 — a move that would officially close one of crypto's most closely watched cases At the same time, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz is leading new upgrades to the XRP Ledger (XRPL), aiming to increase developer engagement and throughput by migrating to a new architecture built on the Rust programming language. Price action and momentum As of writing, XRP is trading at $3.04, up nearly 6% driven by a fresh batch of optimism, driven by both regulatory clarity and infrastructure development. Key indicators are flashing green. One of them is the MACD — or Moving Average Convergence Divergence — which suggests momentum is shifting bullish. On the 3-hour XRP/USD chart, the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, while volume has climbed to over $5.4 billion. This suggests XRP could be in the early stages of a short-term XRP breaks through the $3.10 level, analysts believe it could rally to $3.30 — putting it within striking distance of its 2018 all-time high of $3.84. However, if the rally fades, XRP could fall back to $2.85 as support. Long-term conviction XRP's long-term holders — also known as HODLers — are growing in number. Glassnode data shows a steady rise in the number of wallets holding XRP for over two years, especially since early 2024. Some addresses have even held for more than seven years, signaling deep-rooted confidence in the asset. This increasing HODL trend suggests XRP investors aren't just in it for quick flips — they're betting on long-term value, especially as Ripple re-establishes itself on firmer regulatory takeaway? Between the nearing end of Ripple's legal saga, strong technical signals, and growing faith from long-term holders, XRP has a lot going for it. But like every crypto asset, it still rides the waves of volatility. Is it the best buy for $500? That depends on your risk tolerance. But it's certainly earned a fresh look.
