When there are conflicts or wars between nations, people like to take sides and stand in solidarity with either of the nation that they support. I've experienced people boycotting the products of countries that they don't support,  inasmuch as it's within ones right to choose how to spend their money, boycotting popular international brands because the founder is from a country that you don't support affects the workforce of a country that you support, because it's an international brand.

An example of this is when some south African natives, will riot and kill other Africans in their country for taking over their workforce, in retaliation hudloms, will destroy and bourn down some south African, business in Nigeria. And when this happens thousands of Nigerians, that work in this companies jobs gets affected.

So for me if CEOs or small business owners don't take sides in a war or conflict, then there's really no need to boycott or destroy their investments.

The same luck applies to the rich and poor when it comes to gambling, it doesn't matter your financial status, the outcome will still be determined by luck. The only difference might be that the rich can afford to place more bets because they have the money, which can give them better chances of winnings. While the poor's chances of winning is limited by their small money to place bets, even if they wants to increase their chances of winnings, they wouldn't have the money to risk it. So with this analysis you'll see that the reason why the rich wins more than the poor in gambling is because they put more money in bets, therefore they have more probability to win.

Also remember that as the rich stakes more money in gambling that increases their chances of winning, they also have more loses if they don't win. Although I believe that the rich gamble for fun and not necessarily to increase their wealth. But the poor is the opposite, most gamble to make a living from it.

Although I don't use electrum wallet, but it comes highly recommended as one of the trusted wallets that has many features, and i haven't heard any negative remarks from it's users that I know. Considering the advice that you've given, I think that it'll be safe to hold your Bitcoin, on the long term in an electrum wallet.

Frankly I'm not very knowledgeable about the history of Israel and Palestine, regarding who the disputed regions originally belongs to, but from what I understand, the territory belonged to Israel, before they scartered or fled, and in there absence the palestians, then occupied the territory. My theory might be wrong, but that was how the story was told to me, I'd love to be corrected if my information is misleading. If my information is true, then the territory originally belongs to Israel, unless they willingly vacated the territory, but if they were forced to flee their land, upon return they have the right to fight to regain what is truly theirs. They'll reach an agreement with the settlers whether to move or live in harmony with them as settlers.

Linking Islam to terrorism is very wrong, because I don't think that the religion will teach it's faithfuls to go about murdering innocent people, I have Muslim friends and they're all responsible people who do not support terrorism.

This thread is a very informative one for me, because I've not had this kind of experience of receiving tokens from an unknown source before, so I'll have to be vigilant now in case if I receive such scam tokens. So the best thing is to move your coins to another wallet, I think that will be the safest thing to do, thankfully the process of opening new wallets is quite easy. Lastly the verification of wallet addresses before sending coins is very important, even beyond being scammed by these fraudsters, without carefully checking to see if each letter or alphabet corresponds with what you're about to send can lead you to send coins into a wrong account. I've had an experience where I copied an address into my wallet, before sending it my mind compelled me to crosscheck first, and to my greatest surprise there was a slight difference, I didn't know how it happened, I only suspected malfunction of my phone, since then I always crosscheck before sending.

This is almost one year after you started this thread, and we both know that the best cryptocurrency, by far still remains Bitcoin, and when you come down to altcoins division then it still remains Ethereum. Bitcoin, has been on a steady price pump for months now, in anticipation of the coming bull run, and I know that Ethereum, is is also warming up to maintain it's position as the best altcoins to be cashed in as we await the bull run. There are other promising top altcoins to select from ,BNB, Solana, and the rest, you'd have to do your own research and decide for yourself which one to put your hard earned money into. Although I'd be more careful if I'm to put money in new altcoins, because they're far more risky than the established altcoins, because you might put your money in a shitcoin.

Top crypto coins are better to hold for the long term, despite how the market trends and their prices dip, they'll eventually find there way back to the to top and become more profitable again. So I'll also advise OP to continue holding his Ethereum, hopefully the price will reach and even surpass his expectations. Until we reach the peak of Bitcoin bull run, investors will continue to be focusing more on it, when in the peak investors will use their profits from Bitcoin, to buy altcoins, which will experience their bull run too. When altcoins, are in bull run, we'll be very certain that Ethereum, will take the lead in being profitable, so again if it's possible to hold your Ethereum, till bull run, then don't hesitate to do so.

Truly dis wicked monsters dem never near your side, dat na why you de reason say di sentence wey dem give di guy too much, for all i care make Im de di jail to reduce the population of fraudsters wey de outside. Yahoo Yahoo boys and adults no mean well for dem victims, people done get stroke, some don die because of this wicked people. In the twinkle of an eye, all the money wey you don save for dis life inside your bank account go just disappear, because one yahoo boy don get access to all your money comot enter im own custody.

Weda dat kind long sentencing law go work for naija, depends on the leadership, because if na corrupt government officials de leadership position, then how kettle go call pot black? E go be business as usual. But if people wey get clean record de for government, den dem go get di zeal to truly fight corruption and sentence criminals accordingly.

Loosing is not a good feeling, even if it's just a game, everybody would feel better when they win, winnings radiates a feeling of fulfilment, but when it's a lose then it'll be the total oposit, a feeling of being a looser. However that losing makes us feel, I think that it'll not be fair to take it out on others, because they didn't force you to gamble and lose your money. It's ok to feel sad after a lose, afterall we're humans and it's a part of our inborn characteristics to react when we don't win, but for the sake of our loved ones, there's need to apply wisdom and understand that it's just a game, tomorrow can be better. Self control is a very important ability to have, without it our lives will be full of regrets, because we can hurt our loved ones in the moment of unhappiness.

Earlier the better for anyone who's into cryptocurrency business to have the knowledge that it pays better in the long run to invest funds in Bitcoin, and if there's need to diversify into other crypto coins, then the first choice should be none other than Ethereum. Like you've learned from experience that all that glitters is not gold, new altcoins, can come with sweet promises of giving you multiple ROI, but in the end some are scam projects, some wouldn't withstand the tide of volatility, while some actually leave up to expectations. The question now lies in being able to know the ones that'll be profitable and stand the test of time. By my estimation it'll come down to gambling to determine the one to put money into.

If I were to invest in new alcoins, I'll put an amount that I can afford to loose, so anyhow it turns out, it'd be like winning or losing in gambling, accept the outcome good or bad and move on. I can only put the money that I can afford to invest in Bitcoin, and a step further will be Ethereum.

I very much agree with the summation of your comments, because the best way to avoid being scammed on the Binance, p2p is to apply the trust rating. It is much safer to crosscheck the trust score feedback to determine the number of successful trade stats, i believe that scammers can not compromise the system. If you find someone with a good stats rating on Binance p2p, then always do your p2p transactions with the trust rated fellow, to avoid falling into the hands of scammers.

Crypto transactions or not, I don't share my phone number, email or any personal information on social media, with unknown persons or groups. Anybody that I can not attest to their character on social media, is a potential scammer, it remains like that until the person or group ranks up in my personal trust rating analysis.

There's no connection between Bitcoin and giving rewards to migrants, the former is a valued digital asset, while the latter, if it's proven true that migrants where given $5000 gift cards, will be purely politically motivated. So what happens to those of us that have Bitcoin, and can not migrate to the US, and be eligible for this purpoted offer? Bitcoin is far more valuable than any short term reward, it can guarantee the holder a more profitable future.

For someone who's running for a highly placed office like the Senate, Mr. Lamb, should have had evidence before making allegations, I think that this is a minus for him. We need leaders that backs up their claims with facts, not acting on heresay.

December, being the last month of the year that has Christmas and new year celebration is a month that many people get scammed, so it's a time to be very alert and vigilant concerning every financial enticements. Many scammers will want to accomplish the remaining of their new year resolutions, before another new year sets in. Therefore their desperation will increase, and it'll fall on ignorant victims to pay the high prices with their hard-earned money.

We should avoid opening sites from unknown sources, verify every Link that promises to reward you for what you did not apply for, avoid Ponzi schemes of any sort, avoid people that tells you to apply with money to be rewarded by an NGO, because who wants to help you will not tell you to pay money first before receiving help, avoid unknown persons who calls you for help, most are scammers.

Your experience tells you the right thing, Bitcoin, at the very top, then Ethereum and BNB, they remain the crypto coins that you can invest in and relax knowing that your investment is safe. These three carries minimal risks compared to other crypto coins, because you're sure that no matter how the market trends, even when they experience bear run, that they'll still remain relevant in the market, and eventually bull run will come and investors will make good profits. Although in these top list BNB, seems to be a little questionable, due to the issues that Binance, it's parent company is facing now, their trust level might have somewhat reduced.

There's nothing wrong in investing in other altcoins, especially the new projects, they come with hype of giving their investors geometrical profits, and these promises comes with their baggage of high risks. Profits happen, but you don't know the ones that'll survive or become shitcoins. So far me investing in new alcoins, is like gambling, because in the process of wanting to increase profit, you might end up losing your investment. Whereas this can not be the case with established crypto coins, because when they experience price dip, it's only a matter of time and they'll become more profitable again.

Thanks, I really appreciate your unbiased stance in this conflict between your country Venezuela and Guyana, you have really given us the information from the root cause of this conflict. It's very reassuring to hear from someone that the issue concerns to give accurate report and I'm happy that you have clarified that the stories of Venezuelans invasion into Guyana, is all political propaganda to get patriotic support of it's citizens for the coming presidential election in your country. I truly hope that it does not escalate beyond that. Because when wars happens defenseless citizens will pay the heavy price with lose of lives and properties, while the people who started it will be shielded or whisked to a safe place with their families and loots

A first time win can encourage a newbie in gambling to become comfortable and believe that winning is easy in gambling, and he can continue gambling until he'll probably lose all the wins and initial capital and then starts to chase loses with new capital. Although this is not a guarantee that the gambler will end up as an addict, he might decide along the way to gamble responsibly or quit, or he might choose to be greedy and continue to gamble heavily in order to recover loses. So in the end it's not really because of first win or lose that makes people to be gambling addicts, it's the decision and discipline of the gambler in the long run that determines whether he'll gamble responsibly or become an addict.

A simple definition to avoid addiction will be gamble for fun and use a budgeted capital for it, no matter how the game turns out, win or lose when the gambling budget is exhausted, then call it quit till the next budget.

I don't think that it is possible for bot to be giving accurate information about trading, because no one or machine can accurately predict the future. If it were possible them everybody will be millionaires, because we'll be very sure will of what the outcome of trading will be and put all our money into it. In the end crypto trading will definitely shut down, including other forms of trading like forex.

So for me bot is to aid in trading, not to replace the human factor of analysing and predicting the outcome of trading. We can not expect more from bots, because trading depends on futuristic outcomes, so either humans or machines have to depend on analysing probabilities of data's available to be able to predict results, and this can not give accurate results.

Right from my childhood I've been hearing about China, Taiwan conflict, so I'm believing that it'll continue to be that way until peace is achieved in that region. So I doubt that it'll ever degenerate to China, fully invading Taiwan, or a full blown war, because the two countries have been coexisting with each other in hostility as far as I can remember. Besides China, must have learned a very big lesson from the Russian, invasion of Ukraine, everybody thought that it'll be a walk in the park for Russia, but reverse is the case today, because Ukraine, has refused to back down. So China, must understand that they can not just walk into Taiwan, and invade them easily, because of Taiwan's strong ally which is the US.

Wallet of Satoshi or wallet of Sats, these are just names, and I doubt that the vanishing of the wallet in discussion from the US, as OP said, has any thing to do with it's name. I'm sure that it'll have to do with some regulation dispute with the US. Developers can choose any name for their projects, even celebrity names, so far they don't get sued, some people will identify with their brands because of the name. I've been hearing of the exits of some crypto related services in the US, i saw a thread recently about Kucoin, leaving the US, these exits will not be favorable to crypto users in that country. I hope the government and crypto business finds a level playing grounds to avoid more exodus.

Most meme are better to take advantage of in the short term, because you don't know the one that'll survive and reach long term. If you want to gamble your money for high profit, then meme is for you, you just might pick a good one that multiply your investment many times over, and if it does, it's better to cash out, because you don't know whether the more you wait, it'll become worthless. For long term investment and better assurance and peace of mind in crypto investment, I'll be very comfortable to rely on bitcoin, because it has proven to be very profitable if you hold for a long time, also any top altcoin, is good to put money into, because just like bitcoin, they're also reliable and profitable.
