I think we can change the world by having a running camera everywhere we go..
This how china works… social points…
That’s a huge ambition, maybe we can change the world by making comments..
Dude You That's Kinda True , I know when People get Infront of Camera Sometimes Make Horrible Choices
creator of north korea:
@JOKERXDD there is difference between a democracy and dictatorship.
First one rejected an amongus doll but gave the premium hand spray
Cuz among us doll probably costs 10$
@d6rkway847 the touchland hand sanitizer is $10 at Sephora and really popular rn
Must not understand how people value different items. The value of the doll was obviously more than the hand spray for her.
Wow he literally gave back to the ones who helped him!
That's so kind of you Hafu.
i mean they gave him stuff for the camera XD
@scythe8609 fr
@person4960 he also copied ryan trahan so
@sniffer_fn yeah
@sniffer_fn true
I can’t believe the painter did him like that, would never have sold it without him
fr he did him bad
The painter probably actually needs that money
@tomidrac9719 yea it doesnt matter who needs the money he gave him a word
@YatoYato-u2c okay well we have differing moral views. I think when you're a struggling artist who comes out here every day and try to sell even just one painting but never succeeds, if there's one day that someone finally buys you one piece, it would be pretty hard to give half the money to some youtuber doing this as a challenge. I understand the guy
@jesusisking3814 I feel like god is a bit pretentious ans vain, aren't those like sins?
The dude that went back on his word and went from 50% to 30%. 🙄
Hafu brought a customer that would normally have never bought something from the other guy, and Hafu also did his best to even "coach" the guy on how to sell his paintings.
Goofy ahh knee guh
He was thinking hafu would failed that's why he say that 😂tried to challenge him but he success and that's how greedy take over
That’s why he probably still out there rn tryna figure out where he went wrong
He should have never offered to over pay him. With that being said 30% is even more than he deserved so that's why he took it without a fuss. Usually ud pay somebody 15-20% but none the less dude was wrong. He actually looked like one of the worst people in the world. I don't have that kind of bone in my body. He needs to ask God for forgiveness. I'm glad that he was so humble and understanding because it's not like he really needed it and I'm sure the artist needs every dime he can get. I wouldn't make a big deal of it but that guy was cold hearted and cold blooded when he seen opportunity while knowing he made an earlier agreement 🤝
That’s why he will always be out there not making a dime
If you call yourself an introvert , then I should go and sleep in a funeral 😭

only in ohio
@balckboey i don't know how get rid of being an introvert!
bruh glitch WHAT THE FU-
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
1) Hell, judgement. God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
2) Sin, good deeds. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
3) Jesus Christ paid the fine. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
4) How to be saved? This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word and pray for the Holy Spirit to seal you. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
5) Repentance ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
6) Born-again with a new heart. (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
7) New creation in Christ. ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
8) Baptisement. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
I Like how no one talks about Iron man just chilling in the video 16:28
Iron*
@edasdrawnworld9190 Ratio
when?
@edasdrawnworld9190 nobody cares
@Serbalot I don't care
he turned 0.01 dollars to 0.00 dollars in one day, wow
Only proves how much harder it is to start with nothing compared to families with some spending money.
@TechAmbition that is literally not the point of the video
HELLO, I'M NEW TO CRPTO AND FOREX TRADING AND I HAVE BEEN MAKING HUGE LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN BUT RECENTLY I ESS A LOT OF PEOPLE EARNING FROM IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW STRATEGY OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,I just don't know what I do wrong
@kattyjames190 Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
Srongpol Kongsri You don't need to be shock because I'm also a huge beneficiary of expert Mr Greg T. Martin fx,
I stumbled upon one of his clients testimonies and decided to try him out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
Here in Canada Expert Mr Greg T. Martin fx carries out the both orientation and mentorship
If you walked around NYC for 24 hours and focused on the ground you’d end up with $0.75-$20.00 more in your pockets
will no one appreciate the way he smiled all the time and his face is so bright(with a perfect personality) to catch anyone's attention,he is a great man really love watching his videos with such a diversity of content ,really a perfect channel for a matured 16-30 category people(all other age categories suck btw)
agreed! Except your last line was pretty childish.
U good?
You seriously said mature and suck in the same sentence?
bro what
I thought there’s gonna be more comments about Ryan Trahan
Go beyond your limits. You can achieve what you want.
I love how he has 13$ but he still donates
Here in London you’d risk getting arrested and fined for reselling multipack bottles to tourists and using the “tube” train without paying but I love the concept and was a great experiment, and such a kind and generous gesture giving back to all those who helped you.
I be a ninja jumping over the turnstile quick af
why get arrested for profit a bottle
Do they feed you in the police station tho?
@coronal2207 that’s a good point. Get yourself arrested and you’d get a nice cell for the night and maybe even breakfast ha ha
Bro’s chatting shit, saying you go to jail for bumping the train 🤣🤣
in bulgaria you can get room 5 time bigger than that for only 12.50bucks
Bruh that's actually crazy how the guy just changed 50% to 30%.
Bro should be lucky if he even got 10%
Y
its was his art so yeah idk
@champloo101 Yes but a deal is a deal, if he didn’t want to do 50% he shouldn’t have said 50%.
@greenmustard493 that black dude is lucky he met Hafu, or else he would have no customer lol, doesn’t even matter if his art was good or not if no one buying it.
the 333 sale. It was 3:33PM when he said that for me
Damn, it was so interesting to see Hafu's magic working on people. Your content has been keeping me so hooked, I'm kinda excited to see what you come up with next.
More like camera's magic
You did a great thing Hafu
"I'mma donate to you" 😂
"Mom can we get Ryan Trahan"
"We already have Ryan Trahan at home"
Ryan Trahan at home:

“Jojo: How old is your life?

One of the most badass weird responses I’ve ever heard

Hafu making content for us with the possibility of death is quite something lol Love the lady for making the water cheaper for you 🥺 "Find a girl, bro!" "You're not hideous." 😂😭☠️ Genesis and Jojo are the friends I need in my life 😁You met such amazing, kind people and I love that you paid their kindness back. You are a certified entrepreneur after this, Hafu!
idk if genesis is an ideal friend. He kinda scamed Hafu

@monster.8819 Yeah! Supporting vancouver RUclipsrs all the way :)
heyy hafu! your videos are great. pls continue making campus crawl videos
I stayed at the Jane Hotel when I was in Manhattan. The price varies throughout the year, but I got a room for $150 a night when I was there. During the winter, it’s somewhere around $80-100 a night for the cheapest room. It’s a bit weird turning things on in there(they give you a copper cylinder attached to your digital key fob, and when you enter the room, you need to insert it horizontally into the wall on the switches to turn on all the lights and the AC and the tv)
Just sell your phone.You'll get 500 bucks from that.Job done.
thats cheating
Vaha par hotel m shri krasna ji ki murti thi
जय श्री कृष्णा
Shout out rayan atleast for the penny series

How the hell did you know?!
New York 😂
In the south we have water in the back of our trucks . Most people have a supply of water in their kitchen of the bottled type .
New Yorkers couldn't survive a day in a survival outcome .
You had a penny and a iphone in your pocket, you could sell that 😂
Even the camera and the cameraman

New York people are never this nice either these were actors or just being nice on camera lol. And how do we know Hafu and the boys weren’t actually staying at a nice hotel when the camera were off? 😂
You have nothing, but his word and proof of his past accomplishments of never giving in.
I mean yea, there are people who do that and even confess the fact that they spend money for the night but go somewhere else cuz it's a shitt1 place, however they still got the money to pay for it and spend it
Also, why would you care about that? 🤨
They are only nice because there is a camera. In reality, Most New Yorkers are rude.

Why you say America as a country when is like “The United States”? I mean I’ve been taught AMERICA is a whole continent.
NORTH America is a Country, so you got taught wrongs. There is also South America, this is whole other place outside our North American Country.
@GaryTongue-zn5di north America is a continent bro
@GilbertGaylord
NO! North America and South America are COLLECTIVELY A Continent! .....and I'm NOT your Bro, BUDDAY!
@GaryTongue-zn5di where did you go to school Lil bro
@GilbertGaylord
Off the top of my Head, Kingswood, dry Creek Roseville, Dry Creek Roo Linda, then Rio Linda Junior High, then I dropped out, got Homeschooled and checked in at Grant ave. Then went briefly to Adelante in Roseville, ca. Then finally Graduated in Carmichael at La Entrada! Why?

@daisuke69420 yeah idk why no ones commenting this 💀
Ryan has been doing penny challenges since the last 5 years.
That's business!
Thanks bud for keepin us financially Educated! Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over $22,000 every single week..
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable 🤷. Myself I'm guided by Mrs Camille Anne Hector, a widely known crypto consultant 💪
I've really heard a lot about Mrs Camille Anne Hector! How do i connect with her?
@SimonKelly7836 Is her service available outside of the US? As her broker is registered in the US.
@Jody8337 I'm sure her service is available outside the US, but you gotta ask her first. I'm positive because I have a friend who stays in Australia and using her services too. You should ask her though to know if she offers her service to your country.
Thanks dear, I'll most definitely ensure to do that.
