Most of the tokens whose launchpool is completed and become available for trading witness a huge price increase. However, this rule isn't always applicable. For example, this Notcoin will continuously release airdrops to its community, which might cause the coin's price to drop due to the selling activities of airdrop recipients once the coin enters the market. Indeed, Binance mentioned this reminder in its [Announcement] about the Notcoin. It really does not matter whether the coin's price rises or decreases, as you won't lose any of your staked assets after receiving these coins for free. In one case, you may only face a potential loss if the price of BNB drops, assuming you participated in the Launchpool through BNB and the Notcoin does not achieve the returns you hope for.

Frankly, I see that there is a lot of hype now around this coin. Binance is not the only major platform that will list it; there are also OKX and ByBit. I hope that the participants in the Launchpool will be as fortunate as those who receive the Notcoin airdrop, although they will need a substantial amount of BNB or FDUSD capital.

Since Bitcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, is prone to price volatility, it undoubtedly experiences DIPs, which is a natural aspect of the market as a whole. Indeed, DIP and its depth may occur due to many factors that may cause this, and this temporary price correction for Bitcoin or altcoins presents a good opportunity for entry and investment at a low price. However, we must also consider technical and fundamental analysis.

Buying a dip is an excellent decision to increase our Bitcoin holdings and achieve profits when the price rebounds again to the rise. Bitcoin has experienced many strong previous Dips throughout its historical circles in previous years. Whoever benefited from these price drops in Bitcoin at these times and leveraged them is the one who knows well the importance of these Dips for the long-term investor and trader.

The Tails of Linux distribution on USB is considered the same idea as creating a hardware wallet but at a lower cost. Frankly, I think using a hardware wallet will be faster and more efficient in terms of usage. But the decision is up to you in the end. The Electrum wallet is among the best and most famous open-source Bitcoin wallets. Still, the risk of draining or theft of funds may occur in any wallet, whether cold or hot. This may be due to your negligence in securing the backup phrase for your wallet, or the PIN code, or any of the other additional security methods, or not activating two-factor authentication, and your negligence in protecting and fortifying your device from trojans and viruses or connecting your hardware wallet through WalletConnect to any unknown or untrusted DApp are also potential risks.

Therefore, I agree that before using any wallet, you need to know and understand security and protection measures first so that you can hodl your assets in the wallet safely away from scammers. Also, you've gained experience from the previous painful lesson, and I hope that you'll be able to protect your assets, wallets, and devices safely in the future.

Safe investment decisions are often found in the old projects in the market. However, analysts and YouTubers often entice beginner investors to participate in these new projects, and these promoters may be part of the project teams. I agree that airdrops and giveaways these new projects offer to early participants or their communities can be smart promotional tactics to lure potential investors and push them to invest. Of course, not all new projects are scams, but the largest percentage of scams, from my point of view, is seen in meme coins projects that you do not know anything about.

Therefore, it's not easy for novice investors to make the right choices regarding promising new projects. This is due to their lack of sufficient experience and the increasing number of new projects, making it challenging for them to select the right ones, because the numbers are not limited to a specific number of projects, and also conducting research requires focusing on reviewing many of the basic and important points of the project and the currency and the weak points that could be as clear indications for them to stay away. So whoever cannot carry out his research with great skill should not invest his capital in projects he has not studied well.

Some beginners and new investors may make a mistake in choosing the legitimate platform on which they will deposit their funds for investment or purchase Bitcoin. These fake or phishing sites may have been found through search engines, promoted as advertisements, sent to them by strangers, or discovered through their email.

It is very easy to identify and detect these fake domains and scam sites that mimic the official domains of famous platforms by conducting necessary research, checking reviews and ratings, and using browser extensions like Scam Sniffer as an excellent solution for anti-scam and identifying scam websites. Also, whoever has bookmarked the official domain links of these platforms and activated notifications for their official social media accounts is certainly on the safe side, as they will be obliged to deal only with these legitimate links only and avoid others. It is also advised to avoid new and unrated platforms and instead deal with reliable, established, and top platforms in this field.

Altcoins have witnessed significant declines in the previous periods, as there were some tokens that reached -30% in a single day, coinciding with the decline in the price of Bitcoin and many other reasons. It is worth noting that these declines that occur in the market are healthy corrections and represent a good and suitable opportunity to enter. It is not uncommon for investors to enter when the price is rising and in the bullish market. There are many solid alternative coins whose prices were heavily discounted alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Personally, I prefer to take advantage of any dip and rely on technical analysis, chart monitoring, and staying informed about current news to make informed decisions.

I don't particularly appreciate focusing on just one or two coins; instead, I prefer diversifying among several attractive altcoins and allocating my USDT capital based on the strength of each coin. Stablecoins play an important role during the red market to bolster your holdings for sure.

Each person has his own way, skills, and tools for doing his research. The four steps you mentioned @OP in your topic are undoubtedly effective for researching and succeeding in holding altcoins. However, the research should include many other aspects, such as the whitepaper, roadmap, examining the project team's previous experiences, and considering expert opinions and recommendations to educate ourselves with more information and insights about the token project.

In my opinion, it is better to set a goal that the price of the token will reach for buying and selling rather than specifying or predicting a specific time because my expectations for the time and year that I specified may be incorrect, and this is due to the nature of this volatile market. Long-term holding is one of the safest choices. I agree that impatience, not giving time to follow project and market developments, not accessing all hidden information about the project and its token, and not maintaining psychological balance can lead to negative results. Naturally, altcoins go through periods of stagnation and growth, so it's best for every investor not to sell at a loss, wait, and ignore any FUDs being promoted to drive investors out of the market.

I haven't held any of these coins that have been popularized on the Solana blockchain and listed on the TOP exchange platforms. I have been aware of some of them for a long time, including the Dogwif Hat coin, because I do not seek quick and unguaranteed gains that contain unbearable risk.

What matters to me primarily is the safety of my capital and preserving or increasing it through investments with lower risk and solid projects. Because it is not possible to determine with certainty which of the Solana memcoins will create a boom or achieve 100X returns, or gain popularity and large communities like the coins you mentioned have created, and  Indeed, the market capitalization of some successful meme coins, this year has been impressive, surpassing many other altcoins. However, there are no guarantees of their sustainability in the future or continued attraction for investors.

There is no specific reason for the death of tokens. If you go back years ago, you will find that Coinmarkcap contained many of the leading tokens at the top, which have completely disappeared now and been replaced by other tokens.

Perhaps the reasons for the death of a token, in my opinion, could be due to wrong decisions made by its team or developers that led to its collapse and death, as happened with Luna. It is also possible that the token team, which owns a large percentage of its supply, might dump it if the primary motive is fraud in the first place. Also, the incompatibility of the coin concept does not align well with blockchain in terms of use cases, which led to its downfall. The lack of attraction and interest of Investors or the shortage of liquidity for the coin's team to continue developing their project and paying employees’ wages and marketing campaigns to promote it or pay its listing fees could also contribute. Also, the coin may be exposed to massive protocol exploits or smart contract vulnerabilities. There are countless other reasons, but what I see is that most meme coins are susceptible to this inevitable death and transition to zero because their projects are fragile and lack strong foundations.

Investing requires dedicating enough time and effort to learn, gain experience, and become familiar with the basics and terminology circulating in this field; learn about wallet security, types of wallets, how to use them, and the various scams used by scammers to drain the wallets of their victims. I can liken it to driving a car; if the driver lacks experience and sufficient knowledge about driving and the car's components, he will inevitably collide and may face a traffic accident that could endanger his life.

Most of what falls into the hands of scammers are beginners who do not give themselves enough time to do research, follow market developments, acquire knowledge, and read articles, educational materials, forum topics, books, and other reliable sources of information. The category of inexperienced investors is easily targeted by villains, and they are among the reasons for the continuation and success of their malicious schemes. Also, investment contains risks so that these risks can be identified and managed, the appropriate capital can be determined, and a strategy can be developed.

Suppose you have already carefully chosen solid and promising projects, conducted your own research, and ensured the ability and experience of the token team to achieve great successes and achievements for it, as well as the token's capabilities, potentials, and use cases. Why do you not believe that what you hold of these currencies will not achieve your desired success? You must have one convincing reason that made you say this, but if you are looking for huge wealth and meme coins that will make you wealthy, your excessive greed may cause you to lose what you aspire to achieve in terms of returns or lose what you have in terms of funds because meme coin projects are not guaranteed. They are a game of luck in that they are only suitable for speculation and short-term investments, and they require great expertise in choosing appropriate and non-rug pull coins.

Of course, the old altcoins in the market have their reputation and status among investors, and they can interact more wonderfully during the altcoins season. They are safer than new projects that can bring you higher profits, but you are not guaranteeing its continued success or survival or being exposed to any failure in the future. Therefore, it carries a higher risk.

For me, I find that the best solution for investing in Bitcoin is for the investor to have a fixed source of income. I do not prefer for anyone to sell his property, inheritance, or even property that he does not need, as these old properties can be financially beneficial or needed one day in the future but may not be purchasable at their old cheap prices due to price increases, etc. or because Bitcoin does not yield the returns needed at that time.

Whoever does not have the capital to invest in Bitcoin must commit to financial management and risk management, make efforts in multiple jobs, and rely on more than one method to build their capital or sell their services resulting from their experiences and skills online. Also, it is best to refrain from taking loans or selling expensive assets like gold or property, as these assets are also real-world investments. We should not eliminate them to invest in Bitcoin and buy back what we sold later. Perhaps someone may disagree with me, but I am convinced of my opinion that Bitcoin is like other cryptocurrencies. However, it is the safest and should also be invested wisely and at appropriate times and periods.

What happened: This project has a fake team. They used pictures of some personalities and attributed them to their team under fake names. This action indicates one of the red flags to avoid the project, besides their whitepaper, which contains many plagiarized paragraphs and does not contain reference links.

Additional Notes:

I think they launched the Bounty campaign at this specific time to coincide with the pre-sale of the second stage, which they launched several days ago to promote it and attract investors to this project after announcing the completion of first stage that starts April 2, 2024 and raising $380,430.02. There is no evidence to support this claim, which they made within less than 40 days of starting their new project, which has a small community.

I'm among those interested and fond of the TON Network. It could be the second competitor to Solana thanks to its rapid growth, expansion, and important partners. Also, with its huge Telegram user base, it will push it forward.

The TON blockchain is one of the fastest blockchains in processed transactions and has extremely cheap fees. Toncoin has demonstrated clear superiority in attracting investors, achieving more than $200 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) ^[1], USDT's adoption on the TON network, and many other achievements. Many mini Telegram apps and new projects have adopted this great network and its coin. However, the project OP mentioned is unfamiliar to me; it seems to be a Memecoin project. Was it launched on the TonUP launchpads platform? These meme coin projects, whether in Solana or elsewhere, are high-risk. It's worth mentioning that Ton Fish is the first meme coin of Ton; perhaps other new meme projects are unpromising or scams. Therefore, exercise caution in your investments.

مرحباً اخوانى الكرام,

أعلنت اليوم منصة لوكال مونيرو على حسابهم الرسمي فى منصة إكس إيقاف خدماتهم وأنشطتهم ومن لم يعرفها هي أكبر منصة P2P لشراء عملة المونيرو دون KYC ولم يكن لديهم أيضاً إجراءات لمكافحة غسيل الأموال AML

والجدير بالذكر أن هذه المنصة كانت تعمل وتواصل خدماتها منذ سبع سنوات حتى الآن, ستبدأ عملية التصيفية وتنتهى بعد ست أشهر بسبب العديد من العوامل الداخلية والخارجية

 وسيكون موظفي خدمة العملاء متاحي للمساعدة, سيتم تعطيل التسجيلات الجديدة وإنشاء الحسابات فى المنصة والإعلانات بدأً من اليوم,

 وفى يوم 14 مايو لهذا العام صفقات التداولات الجديدة سيتم تعطيلها أيضاً, ومن بعد مرور ستة أشهر أي يوم سبعة أكتوبر سيتم إغلاق الموقع بالكامل.

 فيرجى من لديه اصول على هذه المنصة سحبها حتى لا يتم مصادرتها بعد انتهاء هذه المدة.

بعد إزالة المونيرو من المنصات المركزية وتوقف خدمات لوكال مونيرو وما حدث لمحفظة الساموراى قد يدفع ما يحدث من الحروب الشرسة على خصوصية مستخدمي الكريبتو إلى إلغاء دعم المونيرو بالكامل, حقًا خصوصية المستخدمين الآن باتت تتنكشف يومًا بعد يوم.

Are you living with us on the same planet Earth, Op?   
I do not think there's a person who does not know the Pi Network project yet. This project has been running for over 5 years, and so far, it hasn't delivered anything other than false promises. I really don't have even 1% confidence in this project and its mobile mining.

It is not considered a clear scam; without paying your money, you will lose time and potentially compromise your KYC data. Many allegations have been raised by Pi users regarding selling their customers' data to third parties. Also, there are only fake PI tokens in exchanges so far; the original token and Mainnet haven't been launched yet. The primary beneficiary of this project is its team, which sells advertisements to investors and app users numbering in the millions who downloaded the application and used it based on the huge deceptive marketing of this project and the exaggerated reviews on the Google Play Store, so my opinion is not to waste time in such ambiguous projects that don't seem likely to succeed after all these years of delay.

Most fans of these meme coins know that they are shitcoins, and it does not matter if the token with own blockchain or is based on an existing blockchain. These investors know very well that they are tokens with no unique uses, and anyone can copy the source code of any meme coin while modifying the name, logo, and total supply and then launch it. These memes would have an unlimited and extremely large total supply, and none of these meme coins may have any mechanisms for burning tokens, which could make them inactive for years and may turn to zero or lose 99% of their price value. They use these meme coins as gambling and dice for speculative investments, which pose a great risk to holders and are susceptible to manipulation and sharp dumping. They disregard the risks and dream of achieving unrealistic returns, disregarding any other factors like the risks, names, founders, or anything else.

I have only completed reviewing the spreadsheet up to entry 94. There are still 25 other accepted participants who need their accounts reviewed to ensure they have not violated the rules and terms of the bounty campaign by using alternate accounts. So far, 13 cheaters have been removed and will not receive their payments. I will double these funds and distribute them only to eligible members after deducting the distribution fees from the original amount.

The process has become easier now after conducting a deeper investigation. Thank you for your services, Holydarkness.

UPDATE: Everything is fine now; thank you all for your constructive contributions and valuable assistance. I will now lock the topic.

This is a good explanation; the two wallets have a clear difference.

TON Space A non-custodial wallet is better than the Wallet, as the TON Space user can access and control his wallet through seed phrases even if his telegram account is banned. However, the downside of using these wallets is that they are centralized and operate according to regulatory requirements. If you read the article [Reviewing Transactions], it becomes clear that user transactions are fully reviewed by the wallet team, and it may take up to an hour to complete the review. They may also impose KYC or force the customer to provide documents such as proof of address and the source of funds.

Telegram wallets are undoubtedly a copy version of centralized platform wallets, so I do not see any advantage to using them despite the risks, delays, and user privacy disclosures that may leave them dissatisfied.

Thank you for accepting the invitation and coming here, dear Holy. I have received the amount from the bounty manager in my wallet, so I must distribute it to the hunters as soon as possible since I haven't found anyone else willing to take on this task but me.

Yes, so far, I have caught several cheaters in the spreadsheet; their wallet addresses will show connections between the transactions they conducted on the BSC, proving that they have alt accounts, and this is the result I have reached:

Thank you for your efforts. The situation is now under control, and the final spreadsheet is close to being completed. The distribution process begins then. Your contribution will be useful to many bounty managers who want to clean the spreadsheets from cheaters and fairly compensate only those participants who deserve payment and have not engaged in any scam activities or violations of the rules and terms of the bounty campaign they manage.
