I think that there are many here like you who invested in altcoins and received tokens from the bounty in which they worked for projects that failed or turned into scams, and the tokens become worthless; indeed, there are new altcoins that have succeeded and jumped to the top 100 positions in the market, and this indicates that we should not put our investment in some particular altcoins. The oldest altcoins for me, if until their positions in the market are replaced by other new altcoins, with the increase in their volumes and the occurrence of any positives in the price of Bitcoin, they will return as they were, there is a small percentage of probability that the oldest altcoins in the market will turn into shitcoins unless any catastrophe happens. I undoubtedly agree that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best in the market and the safest options for long-term investment, but this does not prevent that there are many other altcoins that deserve long-term investment but any investor needs to take his time to conduct his research, and staying away from meme coins or low-ranked altcoins because they undoubtedly, as OP mentioned, they will cause considerable losses in the future as they are, of course, not safe investment options.

Youth is a vital age, full of activity, where the mind is open and more understanding. Therefore, education and awareness at this early age will be genuinely effective. Through conferences, educational courses, books, and helpful discussions like these in forums, the field of crypto will be a ring on their fingers. They will be able to get acquainted with everything big and small in this great modern technology in terms of its basics, concepts, potential risks, and everything. I agree with you that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have provided many job opportunities and excellent sources of profit; this will motivate young people to acquire sufficient experience in any specialty they can master and innovate. Investment and trading, for example, are substantial financial opportunities that can improve their lives and futures. Still, they should make time and effort to educate themselves, acquire skills, learn the necessary tools and strategies, learn about common fraud methods, learn how to secure their funds, and carefully choose the exchange platforms and wallets they will use.

Yes, I totally agree with what you mentioned, as the success and future of altcoins does not depend on their listings in the exchange platforms, even if they are top exchanges in the market, but the newly listed tokens on the famous exchange platforms are attractive to investors because they still have an excellent opportunity to be entered by investors and traders at a low price, and they can be pumped after opening trading on them for a period and after increasing the demands for their purchases, and also if the token is listed on platforms such as Binance or other famous platforms in the market, so this will reduce the possibility that the currency be a scam token, because there are fundamental and technical criteria that Binance requires from the currency team, besides the large fees for listing their currency, such as the basics of the project, the reputation of the team, its expertise and advisors, community support, the whitepaper, the basic technology of the project, the roadmap and many other more stringent criteria, but of course, the future of the token does not depend primarily on its listings on exchange platforms. The token may fail and be delisted from the exchange platform and from the rest of the other platforms, as happened with Terra Luna and others. There are other, more important factors that the investor should take into consideration and do his research before making his investment decision.

شكراً لكم جميعاً اخوانى الكرام على مشاركاتكم بالموضوع...

نعم لاحظت ذلك أخى الكريم, نعم أتفق فيما ذكرته أنه ربما أن يكون أحد من معارفه قد فتح الحساب بعد رحيله فإنه قد توفى بالفعل. وقد أشار الأخ خالد بذلك

لم أتعرف على هذه الشائعات من قبل أخى الفاضل, لكن ما تم ذكره فى ويكيبيديا وهو أن هال فينى توفى في فينيكس فى ولاية أريزونا الأمريكية, وهذا نتيجة لمضاعفات مرض التصلب الجانبي الضموري وتم حفظه بالتبريد من قبل أحد المؤسسات.
وايضاً هذا ما ذكره العديد من المواقع الإخبارية الشهيرة وعلى سبيل المثال Crypto.news





نعم هذا ما وجدته على ويكيبيديا وهو اشاروا لذلك من خلال مقال تم نشره على موقع فوربس منذ 9 سنوات, يحكى القصة كاملة والتى لا اعرف صراحة ما مدى صحتها وصحة المعلومات المنشورة, يمكنك الإطلاع عليها اخى الكريم من خلال الرابط التالى:

مرحباً الأخوة الأفاضل,

كان بالأمس 28 أغسطس ذكرى وفاة "هال فيني" الذي توفى في 28 أغسطس 2014 هال فيني ولمن لا يعرفه هو مبرمج أمريكي شهير في مجال التشفير والحاسوب، وهو صاحب أول معاملة بتكوين حدثت في الثاني عشر من يناير 2009، وأول شخص يستلم البتكوين من "ساتوشي ناكاموتو" خلال هذه المعاملة التجريبية في قرابة 10 بتكوين، ويقوم بتنزيل وتشغيل برامج البتكوين، وهو من أنشأ نظام إثبات العمل RPOW قبل إنشاء البتكوين، عاش عشر سنوات في نفس المدينة التي عاش فيها ساتوشي مما توقع الناس ربما أن يكون "هال فيني" هو مخترع البتكوين لكنه نفي ذلك، أصيب "هال فينى" بمرض التصلب الجانبى الضمورى حيث ذكر انه كان مشلولا مما تسبب فى تباطئ قدرته على البرمجة وكتب فى إحدى المقالات ((ربما لا أزال قادرا على كتابة التعليمات البرمجية، وحلمي هو المساهمة في مشاريع البرمجيات مفتوحة المصدر حتى من داخل جسم غير متحرك. ستكون تلك حياة تستحق أن تُعاش.))

توفى هال فيني في النهاية نتيجة لمضاعفات مرضه، لكنه خلد اسمه في صفحات التاريخ وفى ساحة العملات الرقمية.

كما كان متوقعاً إخوتي الكرام، صعد البتكوين وأسعار العملات الأخرى بقوة وقفز البتكوين إلى 28 ألفاً بزيايدة مؤيـة كبيرة بعد إعلان فوز كبير اللإستثمار Grayscale على هيئة الأوراق المالية أمام المحكمة، حيث وافقت محكمة الاستئناف على صندوق تداول التكوين الفوري Spot ETF والتماس جراي سكيل للمراجعة للرفض الذي أقرته SEC لصندوق تداول البتكوين.

Thank you, Jerome, for making the community safe,

If the OP of these Self-Moderated topics did not explain his purpose in creating them in this way, then this is sufficient evidence of his malicious intent.

Although this scammer has been banned and his topic was deleted, which he published as a self-moderated ANN topic in order to prevent members from writing replies that expose his malicious bot that contains malwares, he can publish more topics using more stolen accounts such as those that wrote him positive feedbacks and posts positive replies in his topics, So each member must not download anything on his primary device to try it through self-moderated topics that are created by new members whose accounts have been newly created.

He is a 100% scammer.
After I contacted him, he claimed that he was the Financial Manager at Cennox, and he claimed that his Telegram photo was his real photo inside the company.

First, The photo is not his real photo, it is the real photo of Shalom Ben-Or, Co-Founder & CEO at Avenews-GT.

Proof #1:

-------------
He eventually sent a phishing link to steal the money he wanted to exchange, claiming to have $1,300,000 BTC.

Proof #2:

---

Thank you OP for posting this thread, I do not recommend any dealings with new members at all.

Yes, this is a 200% scam. No NFT was sent to the participants as a giveaway that can give 1.5 ETH worth $2475 per participant at the current price. Check the screenshot that you attached. You will find that the scammers who created the NFTs and sent one to you and to thousands of people would like to direct you all to their scam site in order to receive 1.5 ETH. Through this phishing/scam site and after connecting the wallet and interacting with their NFT contract address, all people will lose the assets in their wallet, so these free NFTs that the person gets without his knowledge and contain website links and unbelievable temptations, please do not click on the website link shown on the NFT and not trying to sell it and leave it in the wallet.

Investing randomly without time to research and gather information made you invest and lose much of your investment capital in shitcoins. It would have been better if you mentioned the names of some of these altcoins that are in your wallet, but I guess most of these altcoins are meme coins; the meme coins already have massive communities and gain hype quickly from investors who are looking to double their capitals, but these meme coins soon turn into scam tokens. Their teams escape with the investors’ funds. Also, the new currencies that do not have a team, developers, and goals will eventually fail and be delisted from the exchange platforms. If you want to know whether the altcoin you invested in is shitcoin or not, take a look at its team, its communities, its whitepaper, its contract address, liquidity, number of holders, etc., on the exchange platforms in which it was listed, and on the goals that its team implemented over the time frame, and most importantly, recommendations and the opinions of influencers and experts in the field of crypto.

I think there are reasons for the disappearance of the old professional bounty managers. They may not have found good offers and projects, or they may have lost hope after managing many scam bounties, or they may have changed their activities to other businesses, and perhaps the most famous and trusted managers now have the lion's share of receiving good offers for managing Bounty campaigns and BTC campaigns; also the situation of the bear market and declining currency prices as a whole are an obstacle for project officials in concluding marketing deals in the forum.

The good thing is that there are still professional and active Bounty managers in the Bounties (Altcoins) and service boards, and they have many good campaigns that have escrowed allocations.

Developing a specific plan, strategy, and goals for buying and selling are essential in investing in Bitcoin. If the BTC is down and reaches the specified target, it is possible to Buy/Invest, but not with total capital, but at different stages and bottoms. Also, after reaching the price and target of selling and achieving good profits, it is possible to sell and recover the capital that was invested or a large part of it and recover a portion of the profits and keep it in stable currencies so that if a correction occurs or the price drops, you can buy again at a low price and the loss will not be in the capital but in the profits that have been gained. Choosing the entry/correct times requires experience and skill in technical and fundamental analysis, as well as the factor of waiting patiently and controlling emotions and greed, which enables a person to secure his profits and maintain his position within the market.

The Trust Wallet team may be late in publishing this warning to their community. I have had NFTs for years, and I did not mint them and found them in my wallet without my intervention, The suspicious thing that made me stay away from them is that one of these NFTs can give me thousands of dollars by staking it on the scam site that appears in this NFT information on Opensea and for sure anyone who opens a scam site and deposits a certain amount of altcoins or stablecoins to get the stake rewards, will lose his funds and may lose all the available NFTs on his wallet, these NFTs are like scam pump and dump tokens that we find in our wallets and lose our money when we exchange or send it, or after purchasing more quantities of it, so any NFT or token that you found dormant in our wallet that we do not know its source, I recommend that ignore them completely without doing anything.

Yes, investing in altcoins is risky because its market is highly volatile and affected by events and news, but its profits are better than the very meager profits of banks. Prominent businessmen, influencers, companies, etc., have invested in altcoins, and there are millions of investors interested in investing in altcoins around the world because they believe that it is an undisputed profitable investment despite its sharp fluctuations. Experiences, skills, and patience may reduce the severity of risks and make the investor avoid any heavy losses. And even banks have risks as well. Banks can go bankrupt due to the economic and regulatory conditions in the country, and they can impose sterile conditions and fees that make it difficult for customers to access money. For me, I can use banks to keep some of my money safe, but banks to be a source to make profits is not a feasible idea.

It is good that there are a lot of top altcoins in the market, so every investor has ample options, and everyone has his point of view and valid reasons for choosing an altcoin over another; each altcoin has its advantages, disadvantages, and cases of use, and each altcoin has behind it a team that distinguishes it from others. I was interested in investing in Ethereum earlier, but now I do not want to buy it because of the high price of its fees, and its network is always crowded. The second token is BNB. I invested it before the SEC attack on Binance and before the BNB chain was hacked and more than $600 million in BNB was stolen, and as a result, the price of BNB went down by a massive dump. I am waiting for the right time to recover my loss, and I will never rebuy BNB or any of the CEX exchange platforms tokens.

Thank you all for updating the topic, and the fake extension of browsers is dangerous, and the hacker can access the important data saved in the browser and steal it; frankly, I found a safe solution for you is to make a new copy of Windows or Linux and remove your current version of Windows completely, because your computer may also be infected. Although antivirus software may be effective, it may not be able to detect all encrypted malwares.

Really, 111 malwares are very scary.

Torrent files are risky, illegal, and contain malwares. I do not advise you, after making a new Windows for your computer, to use the torrent files that you downloaded before and stored on your computer. I think it is the main reason for installing this fake extension on your computer without your knowledge.

Yes, updating the system continuously is important, also downloading programs from their official websites only.

It is good that Sunil Agarwal's account has been restricted. This phishing domain, which is seven days old, also has been down, and this is the result of reports and complaints submitted by positive people to protect as many newbies as possible who still do not know the difference between a phishing domain and a legitimate one. Indeed, there was an airdrop for the SEI project. Of course, scammers took the opportunity to disinform SEI communities, mislead and deceive them, especially Twitter, through accounts impersonating the SEI name, and by DMing people who ask for help on how to claim airdrop coins, they send them malicious links and phishing domains, They also publish tweets continuously and mention many Twitter user accounts to trap them.

Unfortunately, Twitter is now free of censorship and is full of bots, spam, and chaos.

Yes, you are right; this is also a kind of pyramid scheme that plays on the temptation of greedy people to deceive them of obtaining good sums of money after they make a deposit and after they make a certain number of referrals from the Invitation Program and after they made fake trades there and achieved large sums of crypto, The scammers' admins of the Toark platform manipulate the system to make many customers lose all their funds, or freeze their accounts for unknown and mentioned reasons, and stop the withdrawal. The winning people are chosen unfairly (they could be from the platform team) They help their pyramid and Ponzi scheme to grow. Unfortunately, many of the people who lose their money in these obvious schemes are beginners who have no previous experience and knowledge of this most common thing.
