I have read what you mentioned in your story, OP. It would be best not to rely on anyone in your financial and investment matters, no matter who they are. You should be familiar and knowledgeable with everything you do yourself.

What you did wrong was transfer your funds to an exchange wallet to try the P2P feature without gaining any necessary experience or knowledge or access to any article instructions and guidance and all the risks and difficulties that you may face when doing this. Also, if your claims were valid regarding your friend, his directions and requests would have been traps for you, and this is indeed what the vast majority of scammers do to gain the victim's trust to carry out their requests, whether it's depositing in a fraudulent exchange platform or ponzi scheme, or connecting his wallet to one of the phishing sites, or sending his seed phrases and private keys to them. Therefore, for those unfamiliar with the basics of this field, how to secure their wallets and assets from scammers, and the drawbacks of centralized exchanges and methods to use them, the help they will receive 100% will not be in their interest.

Undoubtedly, fear and uncertainty are what make investors hesitant and unwilling to invest during downturns, but from an objective perspective, there are countries like El Salvador, major ETFs, international investment institutions, and investors from prominent businessmen and public figures who invest in Bitcoin in large quantities, and leveraging the time of dips to increase their Bitcoin holdings, this proves that the dips are a fundamental opportunity for any investor to enter, because with the increase in demand and the increase in the market and adoption of Bitcoin, this will undoubtedly make it more expensive and the most profitable investment in the long term.

The halving for Bitcoin was completed a few days ago, reducing the supply while demand increases. If we look back at historical Bitcoin cycles after halvings, we'll find that this event plays a significant role in supporting Bitcoin's surge to record levels, and this is what we hope for in the coming periods.

I'm not following what's happening in the meme coins sector, but I have seen the hype on Bitcoin Meme Coins now after Solana. Where are all these people who are talking about Simsol?  I haven't found any X trend confirming this. Are these people prominent influencers or regular investors? Frankly, I did a little research, and it turned out that it is a new project with no large communities, and they have not yet launched their token on DEX.

I see that you're indirectly promoting the Simsol project through your topic to deprive investors of the wealth and huge profits that can be achieved through this new coin, and certainly, there are no guarantees or valid reasons for this. But okay, what does this meme offer that other meme coins do not? I do not disagree with you about the meme coins that you mentioned; they have succeeded remarkably, but no one knows what will happen to them in the future. Also, can the tens of hundreds of new meme coins on the Sloana blockchain these days become like them? I do not think so, as there are no confirmed factors and reasons for the success of these meme coins other than the great luck of those who entered them early and before they were listed on CEX.

مرحباً بك, لا اعرف ما الداعى لتكرار موضوعك ثلاث مرات فى نفس القسم العربي, امل ان تجعل النقاش فى موضوع واحد حتي لا يتم حذف موضوعاتك كإسبام,

صراحة اطلعت على الدومين الذى شاركته ويبدو انه مقال بالعربية حيث قمت أنت بالتوصية لعدد من اسماء منصات الكازينو التى إدعيت انهم من أفضل منصات الكايزنو والتى تبدو تقيماتم على CasinoGuru و Truspilot ضعيفة للغاية وإلى حد كبير منصات إسكام,

وما يبدو أنك وضعت زر "إلعب الآن" لتوجيه المستخدمين الى 4yyyonline والذى لم أجد أى تقيمات أو مراجعات حوله, ومذكور انه يتضمن بونص للإيداع الاول يصل الى 2000 دولار وهذه مكافاه تبدو كبيرة للغاية حقا, وايضاً خلال هذا [المصدر] نجد أن تقيمات المنصة 4.4/10

وذكروا ان الكازينو لم يوفر اى معلومات حول الترخيص الذى ادعت بعض المواقع حصول الكازينو عليه والذى لم يتم اثباته, وايضاً الحد الادنى للسحب للعملات الورقية مبالغ فيه وهذه النقاط تبدو كاعلام حمراء للاشخاص المهتمين بذلك لذلك وجب الحذر.

لم يتم الكشف عن ثغرة يوم الصفر علناً من قبل الهاكرز حتى لا تكون سهلة الإصلاح ومع بيع الهاكر هذا فى الدارك ويب,

فقامت تروست والت بنشر هذا التحذير وفقاً للشركاء الأمنين والباحثين لردع اى تهديدات ومخاطر محتملة,

وبالفعل أخى عقب هذه التغريدة التى حصدت ملايين المشاهدات تلقت تروست والت العديد من الاراء المشككة فقد ذكر أحد الباحثين الآمنين انه بالفعل لا يوجد دليل على هذه الثغرة بل فقط اكتفيتم بنشر لقطة شاشة لشخص يدعى امتلاكها,

وقال احدهم انهم تسببوا بالذعر للمستخدمين, والجدير بالذكر انه قامت شركة ابل باصلاح ثغرتين صفرتين من قبل فى تحديثات الامان التى اصدروها الشهر الماضي, وايضاً استغل المتسللون تطبيق آي مسج من قبل فى حوادث سابقة وفقاً لباحثى الامن فى شركة كاسبر سكاى.

This is the TEH EPIK DUCK coin. I saw its name on Bitget's official account on X several days ago ^[1], and I believe it was listed. Trading opened on this exchange platform on April 18 at 11:00 AM (UTC).

As for me, even if it were listed on T1 exchanges, I do not recognize these meme coins as a real and safe investment. Although many people seek profit in the first place through their investments, not everyone sees the level of risk associated with these meme coins. Even if its price reaches $0.044, there's no guarantee it will return to that level, continue to rise, get listed on more CEX platforms, or its team won't abandon it and create another coin because creating a meme coin on the Solana blockchain, creating a website, and creating accounts for its community and simple designs is not difficult or costly.

What you mentioned is absolutely correct.

Most people who enter the world of cryptocurrencies find it unprofitable or are exposed to huge losses; the basis is their lack of experience and competence and their reliance on recommendations from other analysts, influencers, or inexperienced people. They also depend on unreliable sources of information, which will affect their investment decisions. Also, greed drives them to put all their full funds into any currency when they read an article or tweet claiming they can make 100x returns on their investment and become wealthy. Therefore, since this space is very large, the investment matter also requires extensive research.

The conversation screenshot provided by the OP indicates that the investor who lost $370 of his capital did not know the appropriate time to buy and did not choose promising currencies for investment. He may have sold the amount he bought for $500 at a loss. Therefore, we advise beginners to avoid investing or trading before gaining the necessary experience and correct information to survive.

I think you can move your topic to the > Scam Accusations board and submit a scam accusation report.

Given the ratings of this platform on ^Trustpilot and the feedback of previous customers, it seems to be a scam platform. I found many people losing thousands of dollars through it. It is worth noting that a fake team runs the BitGo exchange and lacks credibility.

Avoid depositing the funds they asked you for because most unknown scam exchanges use these tactics to drain more money from the victim. Eventually, they will ban your account, and you won't be able to withdraw any deposits you made. I am sad about your loss. However, it would have been better to research before using any CEX, as many exchanges have recently appeared to deceive investors in conjunction with halving events.

أصبت ما أوضحت أخى, ولهذا دائماً ما يشددون على ضرورة حفظ مقتنايتك من البتكوين والعملات الرقمية فى محفظة هاردوير أو جهاز غير متصل بالانترنت فلا يكون جهازك الاساسى الذى تستخدمه بشكل منتظم,

وايضاً حفظ العبارات السرية او المفتاح السرى فى مكان آمن ليس فى احد المذكرات على الهاتف أو فى أحد التطبيقات والمحادثات أو حفظهم أونلاين,

فنعم إختراق الحواسيب وخصوصاً الويندوز من أسهل ما يكون وايضاً الهواتف, وبالنسبة لي فالإيفون ونظام آي أو إس هو اكثر اماناً من الاندرويد لما يحتوى على طرق آمان اضافية وايضاً آبل استور اكثر تدقيقاً فى فحص التطبيقات بخلاف جوجل بلاى, ولكنهم جميعاً لا يخلوا من الثغرات التى يمكن للهاكرز إستغلالها كما ريت فى هذا الموضوع,

فإذا لم يتعرف المستخدم على طرق الامان الكافية وعدم القيام بعمل تحديثات بشكل دورى لنظامه والاطلاع على أحدث التطورات التى تشكل تهديداً للمستخدمين ولم يتجنب تحميل الكراكات والملفات الخبيثة والتطبيقات الغير رسمية والمعدلة برمجياً من مصادر غير معروفة فإنه بلاشك سيقع فى عملية احتيال مؤكدة.

It seems like a logical idea. Investing in Bitcoin and the success of your holdings in the long term requires that you have capital and a stable source of income. As you are a student, working in agriculture and selling your agricultural crop, such as papayas, will be a good idea for you. You will be able to pay your study fees and meet your needs through the money you earn. Also, you are the one who determines the appropriate percentage of your funds to invest in Bitcoin. Undoubtedly, entering with the full amount would be a reckless idea. The principle in investing, whether in Bitcoin or altcoins, is to invest an amount you do not fear seeing its price decrease or lose one day. You will put in your money that you do not need, and with each month. You can increase your amounts, and you will not want to liquidate your Bitcoin holdings if you need this money because you have enough to meet your and your family’s living needs. You have only managed the risks and managed your capital, and the market and many other factors determine the return that you will achieve from Bitcoin.

For me, I prefer investing and trading instead of staking, which offers some profits that are not worth the hassle. If you were scammed, this is due to your personal negligence in securing your wallet, and this is due to your explanations ^[here] that you put your seed phrases in one of the suspicious wallets. Perhaps you received official phishing messages from Atomic support. I am an Atomic Wallet user and have not faced any problems so far.

As for Locked staking on Binance, it actually offers a higher APY than Flixable, but your assets must be locked until a fixed date and time, so if you need to redeem funds early due to an emergency before the specified redemption date, you will lose all earned or accrued rewards. Also, the redemption process of your assets may be delayed for more than 72 hours in some unexpected cases. Also, the APY rate can change, as it is an estimated and variable rate. If you are satisfied with what I mentioned, you can move forward. Like the rest of the members here, my opinions are neither the best CEX platforms nor the best for depositing large amounts of money into them, but the decision is up to you in the end.

No one can tell you the future of any meme coin, whether it will go up or to zero, because these coins are very volatile, and their future is unknown. If everyone knew this, everyone would be rich. However, $WIF is one of the meme coins that achieved remarkable success this year, alongside $BONK, $BOME, and $MEW, and the list goes on with many other meme coins.

What I see is that most investors follow whale wallets to snatch these gems, and it may be a fairly good idea, as they will buy the coin from the beginning of its launch, but these coins may be traps; perhaps these whales may be the creators of these meme coins. So, suppose you are looking for a currency to invest in for fun. In that case, I advise you to DYOR, avoid anyone’s recommendations, and not invest based on this,  as most influencers are now promoting new meme coins. After you invest, you will get rugged, and investors’ funds will be liquidated.

I have now tried creating a wallet on Telegram, and it has become clear that you cannot get seed phrases or a private key related to unlocking this wallet.

Your account on Telegram is the key to opening this wallet. If his number is banned, as you mentioned, or if the account owner is exposed to Sim Swapping, he will definitely lose his account and then lose his assets in their social wallet. In addition to this, Telegram is full of scammers who send bots and spam links. If the account owner makes the mistake of linking his wallet after clicking on these links, he will undoubtedly fall into a scam, and if you read their terms of service "here," specifically section 6. Modification of MAF (Telegram Mini App Feature) and the data they share section. You will find that it is an unsafe wallet, and it is not recommended to use, despite the availability of many other alternatives in which the user can be the sole controller of his assets and ensure the security of his wallet away from these social wallets that closely resemble CEX wallets.

All these tips are good, but the most important advice is not to keep your Bitcoin holdings in a computer connected to the Internet or store your seed phrases in it. If acquiring a hardware wallet is difficult regarding cost or shipping to a country that does not legalize Bitcoin, the solution is to use another alternative device for your wallets and for matters related to your investments, where the mistake is to use your primary computer connected to the Internet to browse websites, whether adult or otherwise, as they may contain malicious advertisements and put your computer at risk of automatic download of malicious files. In addition, installing fake extensions or downloading software from unofficial sources or cracks is undoubtedly one of the most reckless actions an investor can take.

I would also like to add that you should be more cautious with email messages. You must check the links before opening them, and it is best to avoid participating in airdrops through received messages. There have been incidents in the past with many phishing emails that appear to be official from various companies. This also reminds us to stay alert about the latest attacks and enable multi-factor authentication.

مرحبا بالجميع, أسعد الله أوقاتكم بكل خير.

تم إكتشاف ثغرة أمنية عالية الخطورة على نظام آى أو إس للإيفون من خلال iMessage وهو خدمة الرسائل الفورية التى طورتها آبل وهذه الثغرة الأمنية تسمح للهاكرز بالتسلل إلى هواتف الإيفون بدون النقر على أى روابط,

I've come across similar stories of people claiming to have lost huge sums of money by futures trading or sending a transaction to the wrong address to gain sympathy and collect donations. Still, they used edited screenshots, unlike the OP, who mentioned the invalid address so that no one would search for the transaction through the blockchain explorer. So I advise you to put aside lying, and even if you're telling the truth, you've already lost your Bitcoin assets because once a Bitcoin transaction is sent and confirmed, it cannot be reversed. 

Also, whoever owns 4.37 BTC, equivalent to $277,500 at the current price, how can he send this huge amount to the wrong address if his device has not been susceptible to Clipboard Hijacking? Then he is a blind person and not fully aware!

Therefore, anyone who wishes to send a Bitcoin transaction must take sufficient time to verify and check the recipient's address and avoid copying addresses from previous transaction history. He should also ensure that the device he uses for these transactions is secure and free from trojans.

Avoid dealing with new accounts and low ranks such as Newibies. Stay away from closed topics and self-moderated topics. You can verify and review all the feedbacks for their account by clicking on Trust. Also, check previous customers' comments about the services they provide, and you can seek the help of one of the escrow service providers through this link [here] to avoid paying upfront to these unknown sellers and then blocking you.

I couldn't find his account on the forum! Is this his Telegram account ID or what?

Anyway, don't repeat your mistake or the OP's mistake again, as the scammer can, after getting money from you, block you, delete the entire chat history on Telegram, change his username, and disappear.

The airdrop field is filled with risks and scams. It requires a lot of research and continuous monitoring of updates to these projects. Project listings on the Paldo platform appear to result from your diligence and experience, and referral revenues may be fees you earn from participants, but are these airdrops guaranteed and confirmed? Have their teams announced an airdrop for participants? If not, you can create a section for confirmed and put sources and a section for unconfirmed airdrops. You can also include guide videos of your own creation or more instructive images than a simplified written explanation, and creating a Telegram group and social media links for support, discussion, and sharing opinions about your platform would be beneficial.

In addition, Airdrop Hunters should do their own research before opening any links, installing an add-on, or depositing funds on any platform or bot. They should also check the official links to the projects and their updates first. This is undoubtedly an important security precaution.

Regarding the partnership mentioned on the platform:
Is there any information available about this partnership? I couldn't find any sources to confirm it!

You're absolutely right. If the scammer sends the stolen money to the CEX platforms, he will definitely fall into the trap. By contacting the support of one of these centralized exchanges and providing the required information and documents and the police report, they will freeze the stolen funds and then begin the necessary investigations to return them to the victim; unlike eXch, their policies and services are different they don't follow and track customers and operate outside the oversight and pressures of AML and KYC, so they may not be able to freeze transactions.

Perhaps reaching out to reputable investigators like @ZachXBT could help unless the scammer has actually benefited from these funds and succeeded in covering up the tracks of his thefts.

It's sad that the OP lost this huge amount of his life savings. Indeed, negligence in securing his assets and wallet was the biggest factor in his loss, so we cannot blame TrustWallet or any other wallets for this.

Thank you!
