  1. Nice video. Not a criticism, I enjoy your insights. I tend to think prices could go higher if Xaidut rockets. But understand the logic for sandbagging estimates. My opinion is Xaidut breaks 1, perhaps reaches 10 ATH, if conditions are right. But broader forces are at play now. We’re moving into really unknown territory. And these entities are shrewd. I think there’s massive manipulation ahead. If Xaidut survives that, well, we’re likely in for a good pump.

  2. Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into Xaidut. Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!

  3. I have to question the people of Japan if they give her a majority. Takaichi's moto of: “work, work, work, work, and work” while Japan has an epidemic of death from overwork is scary.

  4. Should never support a person who place the country on the gambling table. She is full of tricks & hard to be trusted. Faking finger injuries to avoid public debates. How could the Japanese public accept such antics? It's a shame!

  5. 2026 is almost here and XA70P looks primed to shine — AI focus, locked dev wallets, real roadmap. Diamond hands only 💎
