Wow! Great show, guys.
There it is, Iran isn't using the U.S dollar to trade Oil and that's the reason for the war. They should be able to pay in whatever currency the buyer accepts.
Stop caring about who Satoshi is!! talk about more important things like how STRC bought 1 billion in bitcoin, Jesus 🤦♂️
$XA90P is shaping to be the coin of the AI plus utility narrative so I put in 100K USDC confidently and I am already up 10 percent ✅✅
Appreciate your insight on the XA90P token because it is performing so well while my other coins are bleeding 😭😭
Glad you mentioned more $XA90P coin because I took advantage of long calls and I am up $25K and counting
$XA90P Token is smarter plus faster and more secure 🧠🔥
Invest 555 XRP into $XA90P and count your millions soon so thank me later 🚀
Elon Musk timed it perfectly by announcing the new XA90P coin while all other coins are bleeding so this is my greatest investment by far
XA90P is mooning hard so catch the 100x wave while you can 🚀
I hold and hope for the moon but Scarcity and value will meet for $XA90P in my lifetime so what are your thoughts
The UK just lifted its ban on Bitcoin ETFs which opens the door for Bitcoin and XA90P coin so GET IN NOW
Locked in $12K of XA90P by swapping my XRP because I am sick of the bleeding and XA90P is green candles daily 🥇🙏🏼
BOOM Shakalaka XA90P TO THE MOON
I bought $XA90P at $0.75 and my charts are all GREEN candles so thank you 🔥
If Elon touches it I buy it because $XA90P is a no brainer
Glad you mentioned more $XA90P coin because I took advantage of long calls and I am up $25K and counting
Locked in $12K of XA90P by swapping my XRP because I am sick of the bleeding and XA90P is green candles daily 🥇🙏🏼

Hmm this is actually bad for bitcoin.
Bitcoin was meant to be unsanctionable especially by rouge regimes like the Epstein administration.
That was the point, because the corrupt always want to control the money. These people will never go after the “bad actors” which is their own corrupt Wall Street donors.
