My guess is that they open a Telegram channel pretending to be the real Trust Wallet channel/group, and then do a fake giveaway where users must download the app from their link. Or they can spam this fake link through PMs/group chat, or whatever.
With Telegram, scammers will join as many groups as they can and try to create messages for their scam giveaways. This type of scam giveaway on Telegram, Youtube, Twitter is an old type and scammers only do this because they don't have anything to loose and if they get luck to scam greedy people, they can get a lot of money. I think their opportunities to scam the others are small but as mentioned they have nothing to lose. What they will lose is their Telegram accounts but cost can be nearly zero. When I see scam giveaway messages and accounts, I report them all to group admins and to Telegram to shut scam accounts down ASAP. |

The email in OP is not has a word relates to Coinbase and I feel a deeply regret to anyone who is scammed with that email. It is the official Help page of Coinbase: https://help.coinbase.com/en/contact-usThe page does not list all email addresses from Coinbase for customer support but you can see the hyperlink do has its domain name: coinbase.com. Legit email addresses will do have it too. |

Currently the price of BTC continues to increase. It will probably hit $ 15k this year. I see Bitcoin price movements are very sharp, some buy at high prices. I think the whales are returning to dominate the Bitcoin market.
$6 million of Tether USD was minted. I don't think of $15k at the end of 2020 but it is good if your target price will be hit in this year. Without the reach to that price, I won't feel bad because I am bullish with Bitcoin in the long run. I don't plan to sell all my bitcoins before end of 2021. $50k for one bitcoin is my exit price. I can wait for months or next 2 to 3 years to see it happens. |

The creator of Bitcoin knows how to hide identity and traces on the Internet. Satoshi knows how he or she or they can be a target of governments and many bitcoin enthusiasts.
The only person who had contributions in bitcoin protocol and development and had connection with Satoshi is Hal. If Hal did not disclose it, no one knows. And I believe Hal also did not know who is Satoshi. Hal with passed away years ago so we lost.

People are too stupid to be scammed with those domain names and email addresses. - Website domain names with suspicious texts before the exchange names are untrusted. It is first thing to keep your eyes open up and recognize scam sites. - Email addresses: If I am from Kraken, my email address would be It is an example. @kraken.com at the end is a must because the domain name of legit site is https://www.kraken.com |

There are some people who do both ban evasion and plagiarism. One account was banned and use a new account to copy and paste posts from the banned account. The new account breaks 2 rules: ban evasion and plagiarism. For the new account, it no member finds evidence of the old banned account, it will be considered as plagiarism. If members find evidence of connection between new account and old banned account, it will be considered as ban evasion and plagiarism, nevertheless. Is this plagiarism? |

I don't get the idea when you use the phrase Free or Paid. Can you explain it, please.
I think Free is free and Paid is paid, they are different and no one will pay fee if that course can be learned without fee.
Moreover, you can consider to move courses that in the group "Free or Paid" into the top positions for each geographical location. People often want to find something free first.

With the scam hype like DeFi when most of tokens are overvalued from 5 times to 100 times, the figure for how many bitcoin are there in DeFi will have very fast change. It can fall quickly and will be divided by 5 times, 10 times or 50 times very soon.
The figure can not fall quick despite of quick falls of DeFi tokens' price and get support from higher and higher total circulating supplies from those hyper inflated DeFi tokens.

They: ETH and DeFi tokens are very different assets. DeFi tokens are types of derivative products on Ethereum network. Ethereum investors are all waiting for the launch of Ethereum 2.0 and hope it will be launched successfully but the success of ETH 2.0 does not mean it will cause a massive successful wave for all DeFi tokens.
If you look at how people are led by greed and invested blindly into DeFi tokens, you will know soon they will recognize their mistakes and they will more hesitate to invest in DeFi tokens. I imply that the chance to get success of DeFi projects will be lower for later projects.

Thank you for the information that I did not know. The reward from images is good but years ago, CLAM had its bad period when Poloniex delisted it and price of CLAM fell to the hell. After that delist, weeks or months later, it was listed on https://freebitcoins.com/xchange/market/Bitcoin-Clamcoin. It helps CLAM survives but not actually been actively traded. Today and last 24 hours, no volume on freebitcoins.com exchange. I check on coinmarketcap and Yobit is only another exchange for CLAM but no trading volume. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/clams/markets/ |

FOMO isn't that bad simply because it can leads you to be in profits sometimes but not every time so its more like how early you enter into the ship and exit at the perfect time before it gets drowned.But there is no other reasons to call it as good, and even you are manipulated so don't become someone who make decision for other's profits.
You accept risks and join FOMO parties. Good or bad it depends on each time you join FOMO party and how soon or late you join it. With FOMO parties, the later you join them, the higher risks of losses you will get. FOMO parties never last too long. I disagree with this because you could definitely always buy at the bottom and sell it at the top but the challenge is when you will buy it. This should already be a common rule for everyone. If you check all the charts of the coins, there would always be a lower low and a higher high. What you would do as a trader is when you are going to trade, what indicators tell you to trade, limit positions, limit risks, and many more. It's not going to always be about FOMO, it's about being smart with what you are trading.
Buy the bottoms, sell the highs and make a schedule when you will make your sellings. Your plan and your patience will help you get profits if you buy at good price (should be at bottom). Sad to say, even if you buy at bottom, you still can get losses if you don't have enough patience and shake your weak hands before the days your investments turn to be profits. |

Fiat currencies are pretty 'vulnerable' to inflation and hyperinflation, but imo that doesn't mean that everything about it is bad or that Bitcoin is a better form of "money".
Fiat currencies are not bad if you compare them to DeFi tokens. I don't think the inflation of DeFi tokens are less than fiat currencies. They are all hyperinflated and fiat currencies are worse because you don't know the inflation schemes from governements. With DeFi tokens, you can. Bitcoin is different than fiat currencies or DeFi tokens. Bitcoin has its halving days and it will be halved in block reward for each 4 years. Bitcoin is different and any comparison is not needed.  Same thing for physical gold, its total supply on the Earth is finite. The growth of technology can help people dig more gold on the Earth but gold supply on the Earth is finite. |

As soon as elections are over and after that taxes come around so my opinion is that for new year we will see a bit of a uptrend. Its good time to buy even if you watch bitcoin charts. I have high hopes for end of this and next year in general.
The interesting thing I can find from the GOLD price chart from here https://goldprice.org/gold-price-chart.html is physical gold has been in its recovery phase after the correction. Do you notice that after breaking the strong resistance (1921 USD/oz to 1861 USD/ oz), gold price was dumped like bitcoin has 2 times since its all time high. And yes, fortunately, it is rallying from the correction. I see good signal from the chart and I believe it has 2 or years of bull run ahead. |

Hackers are aware that the bitcoins they hacked will be traced by victims and police officers so that they know what to do. Coin Join transactions with Wasabi wallet or bitcoin mixers are their best solutions. I am not surprised to see that article and the percents of hacked bitcoin were mixed through Mixer services and Wasabi. Newbies don't know how to use coin control features but hackers know and sure they know more, about Coin Join, mixers and so forth. The article does not show after bitcoin mixing, what hackers use to do next. Mix again with Monero. Only 2.8% of stupid hackers cashed-out hacked bitcoins. |

Once again, scammer uses a very old and common scam technique. Send first and get something back later. No matter how much the contributed amount is (0.1 ETH in this scam), it is a scam rule to join a scam group.
If people always keep it in minds and don't let greediness blurs their minds, they won't be scammed.
I turn off the option to invite me to groups from Telegram users that are not in my contacts. Everyone should do this too because scammers join groups to get list of users in groups and send their scam invitations.

It will be a difficult time for the whole market. President elections in the USA and COVID-19 will make some troubles to the traders.
If feel fear, cash out to fiat, then wait for falls and buy dips then hold. At least with this safe investment style, investors won't lose their fiat. I meant don't lose fiat on paper number and this statement is not counted inflation rate of fiat. If gold price falls, buy more gold with same fiat fund. The same for bitcoin. If price is stable or increase, still have same fiat fund. |

This is the chart of Bitcoin's Avg. Transaction fee: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.htmlRight now the median fee is about $2. After lots of halvings the reward won't be enough to satisfy the miners. I guess that after a decade, bitcoin will be more widespread, as a result, more transactions will occur every second. Won't this increase the median fee? If it does, bitcoin will start being a not-so medium of exchange. Imagine paying $5 for a transaction. Even paypal doesn't charge that much. The median fee is misleading for newbies. They will simply think that average fee for each bitcoin transaction is $2. They don't know fee depends on transaction size. The median the site gives us is fee for all transactions at all sizes. They should give a median per byte.  Ethereum and DeFi are the great example of high transaction fees. I'm 100% sure, that after DeFi rans out of hype power and becomes something regular (like ICO and IEO now), people will come up with something new, that will grow an interest to bitcoin. And where is interest, there are people who will want to earn on it. You dont need to go far for an example. Every time bitcoin's price grows speedily, network fees goes up also.
Scammers will create another new scam trend and if Ethereum keeps its current network structures and its role for running new projects, pools on their smart contracts, and if the Ethereum 2.0 won't solve network issues, fee on Ethereum network will have other crazy rises. |

Having said that, I personally don’t like social media at all (say someone with over 5,6k posts here), but I do think that the forum could find a way to interleave with them in a beneficial way, understanding how a large part of the world’s population communicates nowadays through these channels (as opposed to a forum style, which is rather different).
On social media, people often share images, status, tweets and funny videos. I rarely see social media users write a long and thoughtful status (on Facebook). Twitter has short character limitations for tweets. There are good Facebook status but those users and those status are not commonly to see. It is caused by the social media origins. Why Mark Zurkerberg created Facebook years ago? I think Facebookers use Facebook in the way Mark want. |
