Unsurprisingly, he and his family were doxed by angry traders.

I think it was funny but that’s completely irrelevant.

Who the fuck forks over any money, much less $50k for… what? What does this coin do that any of the thousands of others don’t? Because someone said a funny thing? …. What??

I have zero sympathy for these dipshits. We’re going to have a lot more of this content in the US over the next 4 years.

I think the video and meme itself were dumb but the fact she ran with it and built a memepire from it and is raking it in from gullible simps is hilarious
