Long story in short. I believe some of you have read this story. I think it's quite important issue especially for newbies and this topic will serve as awareness. Interesting story so thank you. I don't know how should I describe it since very long story. This type of scam story new for me. Its call triangle scam actually. Someone else on telegram would ask you send a btc address provided by him to a bitcointalk forum user in order to prove ownership. Don't do this, if someone ask something like that then write your own message like I am Coolcryptovator, I am talking on telegram with you and my telegram username is @Coolcryptovator. Simply sent someone else btc address to other bitcointalk user would led to cheat. Who know if that person who asked you he is dealing with other bitcointalk user and likely other user asked to scammer send btc address by forum PM to prove ownership? Perhaps he is using you to scam by sent his btc address. Hope you guys understand what I want to say.
Briefly: Don't trade off-Escrow. Using Escrow to trade on the forum is the best thing to avoid scammers. Always being aware of any PMs from newbies and even from higher rank users, if they send PMs to ask for loan or secret trades. Paying attention on their trust scores and trust feedbacks with their finished trades. Using Escrow or not, one of simple and good way to save proofs of addresses is making a post on the forum, quote it, and archive it.

Where is the most excellent profitings?
All I can see are a bunch of losses waiting to happen. If whatever tradeable shittoken doesn't collapse and eat your money, whatever money you're insane enough to actually put into one of these schemes will vapourise rapidly too.
Momentum and volume. That's it. As I said, don't invest, trade instead. Invest will cause losses because it is for long term. Such a trend does not usually last for too long. Trade if you can find a good entry point. |

I warned most of them will end with losses in OP. Does it makes sense? A trend is a trend. Fork was a trend, ICO was a trend, IEO was a trend, Masternodes/ stake coin was a trend, cold staking was a trend. No one can deny it.
You love it, you hate it, the trend is here.
Generally, trade and get profits if you can. If you can not, stay away of anything relates to DeFi. Bitcoin is King!

Why are you so serious guys? I meant if you are not fomo, and patient enough, you will be able to take advantage of the trend? Who care how many tokens will build up a truly DeFi platform?
Forget it. If you look at it as pump and dump and can take advantage of the movement, you will be able to earn profit. DeFi or not, it is only a term. Pump and dump are real. Don't buy and wait for pumps, indeed do the opposite.
Trade with it, not invest.

I wouldn't say that the govt has regressive thinking just judging from cryptocurrencies. You can very well expect the govt to embrace blockchain based solutions and simultaneously reject the idea of crypto-"currencies" altogether. The policymakers and the power-holders in India take the concept of "black money" pretty strongly. The "concept" is that real, coercive power flows from "untraceable money" and only they should have it while the public shouldn't.
The Indian public is far from being mature enough to have a debate on a hedge against inflation. People are mostly content if they are making some money. They couldn't care less about the concept of banking cartels and individual privacy.
The basic problem is that bitcoin is 50 years too early for a country like India.
Black money are used everywhere with many payment methods, not only with Bitcoin or crypto. Governments are not able to ban fiats or INR because of black money from some companies, foundations, organizations. Hence, they will not ban bitcoin or crypto because of money launderings. Real bans or FUDs, such news only initiate Indians choose to use P2P marketplaces more often. The combined volume on P2P marketplaces, LocalBitcoins, and Paxful is increasing. Source of the chart: https://www.usefultulips.org/combined_INR_Page.htmlIt is not a good one that help us to come to a conclusion because the opposite trend is found in China and CNY trading volume: https://www.usefultulips.org/combined_CNY_Page.html |

The crypto industry has many hot trends in the last decades: Privacy coins, mixing services, ICOs, staking/ masternode coins, cold-staking, IEOs, and now we have a DeFi trend. It is interesting to see its appearance. As a basic rule, a new trend brings both opportunities and risks to investors. Only investors who are knowledgeable and readily to learn as well as have ability to control their investing activities can win and earn profits from their capital. Most of them end with losses, indeed. if you compare the times when tether growth peaked with the altcoin market pump and dump periods you can see that the major rises were:
1. 2017 mass altcoin pump when every single altcoin even the long dead ones worth less than 1 satoshi got pumped
2. 2017 ICO mania where thousands of ICO were being created every month or so
3. 2018-2019 mass altcoin dump which was the reverse of #1
4. 2018 mass ICO death which was reverse of #2
interestingly enough tether was added to ethereum network to exactly be used for pump and dumping ICO tokens during the ICO mania by the end of 2017 and grow a lot during the ICO death spiral next 2 years.
Let's begin with some articles on DeFi What is DeFi?Decentralized Finance (or simply DeFi) refers to an ecosystem of financial applications that are built on top of blockchain networks. [1][1] https://academy.binance.com/blockchain/the-complete-beginners-guide-to-decentralized-finance-defi[2] https://blockgeeks.com/guides/demystifying-defi-ultimate-guide/[3] https://www.exodus.io/blog/what-is-defi/[4] https://blog.coinbase.com/a-beginners-guide-to-decentralized-finance-defi-574c68ff43c4[5] https://www.coindesk.com/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-defi-flash-loan-attack[6] https://defiwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
There are some websites on which you can track DeFi's protocols, tokens, and dapps. Let's take a quick overview on some of them. [1] defimarketcap.ioOn the site, at its home page, you can see overal statistics for total tokens, total DeFi-marketcap. - Tokens: 685 - Market Cap: $5,047,884,336 If you click on All protocol, besides the Search box, you will be directed to the page: https://defimarketcap.io/protocolsThe site has its weakness: Does not have feature to help sorting out tokens by each indicator (change (24h) for example) [2] dapp.comYou can visit three main pages: ranking, market and community. Rankinghttps://www.dapp.com/rankingThere are options to sort out : 24hr users, 24hr transactions, 24hr volume, Dapps.com score - I don't recommend it because it is subjective ranking score. You can also sort those DeFi tokens out by categories: Game, Gambling, Exchange, Finance, Social, etc. Furthermore, options to choose different periods: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days; All, New, Token. Please see the image below for visual clarifications. Markethttps://www.dapp.com/marketThe site gives you some nice graphics for Overview, Market dominance by category, Market dominance by blokchain.

Nice article OP  I remember looking at Wei Dai as a possible Satoshi a few years back . He’s definitely an interesting character, but imho opinion he’s not Satoshi. Strangely though, there doesn’t seem to be any 100% confirmed pictures/photos of him on the web when I searched ? Anyone found a genuine photo ? Wei Dai's last login date is on June 16, 2017 satoshi's last login date is on December 13, 2010 At least we see Wei Dai was more lately around the forum, 7 years later than satoshi. The creation date of Wei Dai is on October 20, 2010, about one month before the last active date of satoshi. Is it a preparation of satoshi?  |

What happened with Brave browser and their strategy? I used to be a big fan of Brave browser (you can see my first question on the forum is What's wrong with Brave browser? when I got troubles with the reinstallation of it on my computer) but the topic and such hijacking behavior of Brave browser caused me to stop using the browser. |

Hey. The crypto market has so many news, FUDs on "Bitcoin is banned", "Bitcoin is on fire in USA., India, China", etc. Months or years later, we have bitcoin is allowed to trade.
Facebook's Libra coin is prohibited to launch, that is a news months ago in 2019. Latest months, Facebook launched their Facebook shop, that is another step to move closer to Facebook Libra coin.
Don't worry because the fate is bitcoin is the future and the destiny of the world's financial ecosystem. Blockchain-based technology will change the global financial payment ecosystem.

I don't know that the default table is built up by how many indicators. From the default table, I see some top nations: Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Peru. The full table is at https://www.bitcoinpricemap.com/rankingThe global price is $9489, and global volume is 598512 BTC. I don't mention about price but for the global volume it is different and less than the figure that I takes from https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/. According to coinmarketcap.com, there are 2,049,448 BTC globally. I think above comments are right, the site gives figures for P2P market only. The site's exchange rank page lists many exchanges that I don't know about: https://www.bitcoinpricemap.com/exchanges |

I have come up with the frequent question; where to earn free money? or how to win without investing anything?
There is no benefits back for you if you don't invest anything. Invest does not always equal to financial invesment. You can make either financial investment or knowledge investment. Financial investments sometime bring your profits, sometime bring you losses but knowledge investment always bring benefits to you. Faucets
Airdrops
They are mostly trash. Don't engage too much on faucets, airdrops. Mining Apps
CPU mining
GPU mining
If you don't have good skills in computer stuffs or weak at such stuffs, don't engage in mining. It takes your time, and requires knowledge and skills. Try Apps, software
Don't do this. Because there are many bad apps that can contain threats to compromise your devices and your funds. Don't try and install any apps on your devices if you don't know where they are from, and how safe such apps are. Like this For Crypto Users: Reasons why we should not download pirated softwares |
