Everyone on my team made money on $BTCIt was as easy as listening to the professionals who have worked every day for YEARS to make sure they get it right.
You could have won too
You could win on future dumps and future pumps
But you won't do it alone. https://t.co/BoAS3LFM8V pic.twitter.com/8V06ye4D5e

Last week, Tate, during a podcast, mentioned he doesn’t plan to create his own cryptocurrency, stating, "No, I'm never going to launch a crypto." He said crypto does not benefit society in any way. "Crypto is the only scenario I can think of where you can make a whole bunch of money while benefiting society zero."

Why It Matters: He added that making money from crypto doesn’t teach anything. “If you make a bunch of money on a crypto pump, you have learned nothing and benefited nobody,” Tate described it as a dream for those who want wealth without work and without helping anyone.
The former kickboxer is currently facing legal charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. He faces serious accusations, which he dismisses as baseless and politically motivated.
Known for his banned online content, Tate's possessions were confiscated by the Romanian government, including cars, watches, and cash, as well as 21 Bitcoins. Authorities say if they prove these were gained illegally, they will use them for the investigation and possibly to pay victims.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $65,175.69, up 5.7% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
