  1. Be woke—Go broke…Sound familiar lib millennials and gen z sissies???

  2. Kraken is based. I'm glad I started using it a few weeks ago. Coinbase is for pansy woke snowflakes

  3. The Washington Post fired snowflake Felicia Sonmez for the same woke nonsense. I hope the trend continues.

  4. Great! Next is all the religious not bags! Ugh hope someone can do away with that also!

  5. Can somebody explain to me how his severance works why doesn’t a company just fire the person

  6. Just fire anyone who starts trouble at work.

  7. I thought the name was Karen!!!

  8. Checked the guy's blog. His approach is everything that's wrong with this society. Freedom being confused with debauchery. The false religious zealot created by the woke movement is APPARENTLY in direct opposition to the crypto nonsense but in reality they're on the same side of the coin, just competing for power. Woke people are "rebels" that took power. What do you think will happen when "crypto" people get a hold of society?
    Talk about first world problems. What a waste of energy for everyone involved. This guy doesn't even know himself, another clueless technocrat.

  9. Hate to break you the bad news but cryptocurrency doesn't function without electricity.
    And if that doesn't make any sense to you you don't know what's about to happen. Nationwide blackout you best believe that getting ready because cryptocurrency ain't going to mean anything anymore without electricity

  10. Enough with this "woke" ANTI culture. Companies should be encouraged to do the same Jesse Powell has done.

  11. the perpetually afflicted / offended (the so-called woke culture / community) and the LGBT community are a radical minority that presumes to impose its crude philosophies on the majority. Radicalism, whether religious, social, sexual or political (and so on), is a sign of a personality disorder. Either they are people with a very low self-esteem who need a group to articulate themselves – or, they are people with an exaggerated self-esteem that is not justified by anything. These are called narcissists. We must not allow a small group of nutcases to turn this planet into a disk – with the exception of Terry Pratchett, because he was a genius! 🙂

  12. Great video< and some nice tips! This is a scary time for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks or crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon. I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 16` btc from day trading with Carolyn Halles Crypto in few weeks this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish

  13. I like the name of the company. 👍👍

  14. Thank God someone in charge of a major corporation is standing up to this “woke” nonsense. Maybe there’s hope after all. Goodbye BLM/CRC/WOKE-Anything. It’s all crap.

  15. The stock and crypto market is filled with people who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing. That's why I will forever be in-depted to you Clara, you've changed my life, I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear, you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, Thanks Ms Clara Greens

  16. <Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

  17. Woke is mental illness CCP. Communism
    Wokeism is the Antithesis to Consumerism

  18. <Your content is so far on point mate, looking at the chart,
    BTC price has moved marginally away from earlier high, this
    recent decending pressure has led some to believe that
    more declines could be ahead.Good to buy when is dip , but
    best to take some quantities into day trading than to hodl,
    All thanks to Coin Burea for his skillful tips for helping
    me earn 6 Btc lately. Amazing Trading Analysis as always….

  19. In crypto, you have to buy into the fear. It might seem hard, but it’s surely the most lucrative.

  20. Right now Binance official exchanger have a bug

    it exchanges BTC to ETH almost x10 rate fully automatic

    I posted a video

  21. He won't be the last!!!!!

  22. The biggest danger is white liberal progressive woke people.

  23. Would love to see how these white, that's right i said WHITE liberal white morons are going to do

  24. I only use Kraken. The service is next level vs other exchanges. Never been hacked & culture is just different. While other companies are laying off people, kraken is hiring right now. While other exchanges spend on stupid ads, Kraken just builds. This story just affirms my views on Kraken.

  25. "I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination."
    J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI

    The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object
    hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with
    their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam."
    Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.

    "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.”
    CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.

    “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
    Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.

    “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”
    -William Casey, CIA director, 198

  26. I lost a transaction but they refunded my money. Respect

  27. The fightback is picking up pace.

  28. CEO is getting ready to "restart Crypto projects and restore Crypto to past high valuations!. Do remember nothing of value to secure crypto currencies?.

  29. Let them lost their jobs for life

  30. Thank God wokery is on it's way to the trash heap of history where it belongs.
    Thanks anyway, Obama.

  31. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱
    The war in Ukraine is unlike any war that’s been. Although it seems local, this war is changing the world. In the end, after all the pain, the parties will establish new relationships, and new relationships will be established around the world. This war is the beginning of a formation of a new world order, where all parties unite against the one common enemy of all of humanity: egoism. It will take time, but everyone involved will realize, and the whole world with them, that they are not fighting against each other, but against an enemy within them. If we let the idea sink in, even a bit, it will make it happen even sooner.
    The war that began in late February will not end soon. It will take many more months until everyone realizes that war itself, the very concept of it, is evil. In that sense, the war in eastern Europe is correcting all of humanity, transforming our perception and our understanding of good and evil.
    The casualties, the injured, and the lost property are a terrible price to pay. Nevertheless, global processes always come at a cost. We should not blame others for the cost, and we should not think that there is nothing each of us can do to change the world. It is in the hands of every person to change the world for the better, and to make the atrocities of war, and all atrocities that humans are inflicting on each other, disappear. All we need is to realize that the only enemy lies within us—our self-centered attitude. It incites us against each other, demonizes and vilifies anyone who disagrees with us, tells us that we are the only ones entitled in this world, and thereby sets us off against each other. We are all like that, infected with a pandemic of narcissism.
    Nevertheless, there is a lot we can do to change the world. First, we must accept that there is a good reason we are so different from each other. Each of us makes a unique contribution to the world that no one else can. If we were all the same, the contributions we receive from others, and on which our lives depend, would be absent, and we would not survive, in the most physical sense of the word.
    We will realize that our ego is the enemy only when we realize that singularity is the wrong key word for happiness. Today, the key word for happiness is complementarity—mutual satisfaction of each other’s material, social, emotional, and spiritual needs.
    We are living in a world where we are all dependent on each other. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the appliances and gadgets that we use are all made by people we do not know, in places we do not know, and reach us in ways we do not know. But were it not for this chain of myriad unknown individuals, we would not survive, since we cannot provide for our needs by ourselves.
    The same goes for social ties. All our connections, communications, and interactions with other people are made possible with the help of countless people who serve us without our awareness. But were it not for them, we would not be able to work or socialize.
    Despite this obvious fact, we behave toward others with as little consideration as possible, and when we are nice or considerate, it is because we have an ulterior, selfish motive. We do not have the prerogative to keep up this behavior. We are destroying the world and destroying ourselves.
    Back in the 1930s, Baal HaSulam, a great thinker and a great kabbalist, wrote an epic essay titled “Peace in the World.” In it, he writes, “Man is inherently born to lead a social life. Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine.” How odd it is that ninety years ago, before World War II, people already realized that we are all dependent on each other and must behave toward each other with consideration. Just think what we could have avoided had we been more attentive and open-minded.
    Now, too, we are headed for a catastrophe unless we pay attention and begin to act like one entity, one global society that works like a single, united family. The war will change the world, but I hope we can change ourselves before the war changes us.

  32. LET'S GO BRANDON AND F.JB AND F.DEMRATS.

  33. Throughout COVID, Jesse Powell (Kraken CEO) has been vocal against masks and stupid lockdowns on his Twitter. There is a reason a big part of my net worth is on Kraken. He is the real deal.

  34. Crypto is a massive scam just like NFTs. It's all speculative, has no real value whatsoever. Only a fool would invest in something like this.

  35. And then the devil will have a great Christmas 🎅🏻

  36. Must funnel money into Entitlement freeloaders. Must funnel money into Entitlement freeloaders. Must funnel money into Entitlement freeloaders. Must funnel money into Entitlement freeloaders.

  37. Crypto is a PONZI SCHEME! Go ahead say what you want! I'm always comfortable with my real estate and all my tenants are screened..I only accept 775 credit score and up and a minimum salary per individual of 130K! Not including kids of course! I can go to the bank any day and get whatever 💰 I desire on my multifamily properties. Crypto can I borrow whatever I want against you?

  38. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 perfect

  39. It looks like some of the woke are finally starting to wake up to the fact that the woke ideology is a poison or cancer to freedom-loving real Americans. Get the "woke" out. Go Woke, Go broke.

  40. If you're against evil you are called a racist bigot white supremist it'll be all them things cuz I'm a hater of evil hey you are the very epitome of what you hate
