Love Japan and South Korea and also obessed from Zimbabwe.❤❤❤
Just for checking. She is still in First Post 😮
We are gonna miss you Palki. So you have resigned from first post. What is next?
You mentioned $XA20N being bought my Big Finance like Blackrock. Can you give the people more details? We are dying to find out.
The XA20N presale is still open, but it’s already outperforming half my portfolio. Insane.
$XA20N is about to outperform Bitcoin😂😂
I'm one of those end is near believers. Even I think Elon's new XA20N coin will pass Ethereum and even Bitcoin in terms of performance Q1-2 and early 2026. It has everything going for it.
Currently in Dubai at the Bugatti dealership picking out my car with my XA20N token profits. Let's GO!
Market won't crash again. It's going to be the cycle of AI part 2. Billions going toward AI like XA20N coin. ROI on that coin is insane right now.
ETF's bring liquidity… they bring WALLSTREET! So XA20N will explode soon, glad we are early.
XA20N replacing XRP!!!! It's a matter of time. ITS THE COIN TO TARGET RIGHT NOW.

Hi does anyone know where I can buy XA20N coin? Elons new token.
Well done, you are real. 👏🏻 Can you give us a market update on XA20N coin. Your call to buy was amazing i'm up handsomely.

Buy XA20N now or regret it later.
Couldn't agree more. And yes for now $XA20N will outperform XRP. Sky is the limit with Elon

I missed Solana at $0.60, I missed ETH at $20. I won't miss XA20N. It's literally a repeat of 2017, be smart.
Elon already got nvidia and now Paypal on board with XA20N (his new crypto) this coin is going to go BANANNAS!!🚀🚀🌙🌙

Glad you said more $XA20N coin. I took advantage of some long calls and up $25K and still going. LFG!
Massive congratulations to $XA20N on their recent success. This AI-powered evolution is exactly the kind of bold leadership the crypto industry needs led by Elon this cycle.
$XA20N is about to outperform Bitcoin😂😂
XA20N coin already acting like a stable coin. Pumping hard with no signs of stopping.🙌
All coins didn't get liquidated they simply got swapped into Elons new XA20N. Hurry up don't be late to the party.
$XA20N COIN BREAKOUT INCOMING!! LOAD YOUR BAGS !! 🔥🔥
Long live the good speaker #sharmaji_is_best
that bald hypocrite wasn't Mahatma ever.
