@SuryaBhagat7 If they want to manage they can do so now also..so don't look political angle here and see the way police behaved based on politicians words which any police shouldn't do.
@SuryaBhagat7 Orey babu case gurinchi knchem details chodu..case file cheyakamunde vallu mumbai ki tckts ela book chesaru and valla parents the way they arrested. Nuvvu ee party ayina kavochu law should be followed. Appudu kada allaru anukunte eppudu investigatiom lo ila cheppa kunda undochu.
@SuryaBhagat7 Guest house lo vallani one month uncha leda..Elanti lapses lekunda IPS cadre lo unna vallani suspend cheyyaru bro.. please try to think at a uber level. Politicians chepparani edi chepte adi cheste ialane untundi.
@SuryaBhagat7 I am not supporting anyone here. IPS ayinata matraana istam vachinattu chesthe saripodu. They should follow due law. That is the only thing I want to say. Evaru tappu chesina they should be punished.
@SuryaBhagat7 Ade kada bro cheptundi they can arrest her with proper proofs..no one will stop. Valle judges ayipoyi istam vachinattu cheyyakoodadu kada.. Repu manaku kooda ilantidi jaragichu.
Tokens like $ANSEM represent everything that's wrong with crypto.
This is the kind of thing that makes it hard to take crypto seriously.
Pure shitcoin brain rot.
Saying you're going to do an "airdrop" is a convenient excuse to funnel tokens into wallets you control, then slowly dump them on everyone else when the time is right.
Let's just pretend it's all organic and those are random wallets.
Some very naive people in this space. 🤣
I'm not here to be the nice guy, I'm here to tell you how it is.
Sooner or later you'll realize it's PvP. You're far better off learning how to trade than chasing worthless crap.
I don't need to remind you that virtually every shitcoin ever created ends up -90% below its highs. None have survived in 17 years, and none ever will, no matter how good the intentions.
The only question is whether you're willing to risk becoming exit liquidity.

Global markets and sectors are experiencing unprecedented uncertainty. We accumulated 4% of the world’s apex digital asset for times like these. $BTC $MSTR
1.3M $ASTER token bought back and distributed to stakers for the first 5 days under the new tokenomics after the first epoch.
Yields are getting juicier for stakers. High yield attracts more staking and locks up real circulating supply.
