David's fake out kick to the head was pretty sick. Props

"I want the military to protect me, I don't want the government to protect me"
The fact you didn't say this with any shred of irony is baffling, sad, and hilarious all at once.

[BrigidAnne-ez]

I aped into Wurmp! The community vibes are amazing, and I’m thrilled to be part of it!

[danielolivas-jktn]

Went all in on Wurmp! This project has everything it needs to succeed!

Thank you David for taking the punches.
Richard Heart was right!

[xBeetleJuice]

Nate silvers model is lagging. His newest probability of who wins the presidency shows Trump leading

[PrettiCretia-kxlt]

The more I learn about Wurmp, the more I’m convinced it’s a hidden gem!

[mattb]

Blobs. This is an actual word in this space.

[peterpetrov]

Yes! More blobs! Hopefully the devs are not pre-occupied thinking about the demand, the bull cycles, the bear cycles, the seasons. There are no seasons. "Moore's law" for ETH has to keep going no matter the season.

Wurmp Inu is the one meme coin that I believe in. Lets go parabolic after the launch!!

[Krypto_Knight_]

Regarding Sailor’s idea - isn’t the idea behind Bitcoin the fact that it’s Bankless?!!

[Krypto_Knight_]

BTW - I’ve never understood what you mean Ryan in your wrap up line “we’re heading west”? I’m assuming you mean “to the Wild West”?

[MikaMarie-cepp]

So, is WURMP Inu just another meme coin, or is there something special here? Been seeing it pop up a lot.

[AlecJaneMacarayo]

Wurmp Inu will make millionaires, meme coin of the year.

[Goldbob]

What's with all the scam bots always in the comments of these videos talking about random scam coins and getting loads of bot up votes?

[AdamH-nl]

i laughed so hard when these guys said eth can handle a whopping 174 transactions per second and that its bullish . ROFL couldn't be more dillusional. Just like the XRP and ADA maxies. ETH sucks your gonna be some poor bag holders soon once BTC and SOL prices yall out

Where is the Harry Potter Obama Sonic 10 inU Report?

[RJStritz]

Americans aren't able to use Polymarket. That's why it's skewered

[vp]

david was too kind to kain ... should have turned the lights out when he had kain flattened ... but he held back
