  • I dunno, I subscribed to this, but keep finding it uninteresting, and keep skipping the episodes on my play list - but that might be because my interest of the subject is too low, so I won't rate it that low.

    One thing I don't like, at least on the episode I'm listening, is when there are people talking at wildly different speed, one talks so fast that it's difficult to follow at higher than 1x playback speed, and others talk annoyingly slow in comparison, and I can't speed it up 🙄

  • It's very shameful indeed. It still feels to me to fall for some swindlers online who stole $13,500 BTC from me and blocked me. I tried all the seemingly reasonable recommendations I got and nothing worked until I saw Space Spy Recovery's response. I had missed it as their email came in my spam folder and immediately I followed up by providing requested data and they were able to track the transaction and my money returned. You can contact them too for assistance through Email: at soacespy@hacke... more

  • Recovering your lost/scammed bitcoin or money as the case may be, is not a thing you can achieve all by yourself. It is wise to get help from trained specialists who are well equipped to work on the crypto network having vast knowledge about the network, using updated and upgraded softwares and private keys to follow up, trace and reverse your transactions. Asides the countless people we have helped in recovering their scammed or stolen funds, We are thankful for the victory achieved about 3 hou... more

My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I g... more
