You should create and sell an Abel Reyna meme coin, delta7.

Or a Cossacks coin? (Can’t remember the name of the other gang off the top of my head.)

“You should create and sell an Abel Reyna meme coin, delta7. The TexasGoblin would go ALL IN on that.”

I never fall for his scams. In fact, I am responsible for bringing his scams on this site to light.

What a following delta7 has.

ALLEGRA, KIRYANDIL, BIKKURI.

Nice work aiding a pro-Putin and shill for a convicted scammer out to take money from fellow freepers.

I got the Goblin’s answer - he’s buying Abel Reyna crytocurrency with both hands, at $130 a pop.

I think it was the “Bandidos” - the Goblin was gay for them.
