Solana-based $CHILLGUY Trajectory
Since its launch, $CHILLGUY has delivered substantial profits to early adopters. For example, one trader reportedly earned over $1 million from an initial investment of $1,000 in less than a week. President Bukele, renowned for his pro-Bitcoin stance and his initiative to buy 1 BTC daily, has reignited interest in $CHILLGUY with his subtle post.
