Cool announcement on Bird X - there will be a connection of cryptocurrency wallet to the bot and withdrawal of real coins on exchanges!
Basically, the point is the same as it was in DOGS. Everything is simple: enter the bot - take tokens - invite friends - fix real money (it is clear that the amount depends on the number of friends 😉 ).
Personally, I recommend not to skip - TAKE TOKENS!
