The roast
Nikola brands himself a Cross-Border Evangelist, which is just a fancy way of saying he spent thirty days spamming his feed to convince ten thousand people that a Bulgarian hotel ballroom in 2027 is the center of the global economy. The only thing he’s successfully evangelized is the ignore button.
