Aptos is another huge altcoin rise most of us missed. Being a new generation L1 utility coin Aptos still might be a good investment for the future.
Aptos has risen upto $18 last year and is currently in a lower price of around $9. The reason why this coin is in this price is due the the series of unlocks and release of previously frozen funds for developers, investors and for the foundation. The release don't mean all of it would be sold but it certainly increases the liquidity of the coin.
The release took place in december, january and there are planned ones in february. so, I believe it's a good time to accumulate on aptos when they are below $10 as they could be the next one to hit $100.

I recently came to know about SUI https://sui.io
But it's already one of the top coin by marketcap (45) and popularity (11) and many people are comparing it with Solana and TON and claims it to be the better alternative.
It has also been widely covered in media and I feel like I already missed this SUI train. But Yesterday I got a news that SUI  had hit a low resistance of 1.31 and are bouncing bac.
I have not yet made any move on the coin yet and it's already at 1.4, I just want to know what the community this about it? Are there any red flags? Is it really the next Solana?

Presidential candidate and the most popular leader of the United States, Donald Trump is unsurprisingly not a huge fan of crypto but it's found that he has been profiting from the crypto riches.
The Ethereum came from a NFT on Trump theme. Though trump was not associated with the project, he got royalties from it in the form of Ethereum. The project is licensed from the Trump's company to use Trumps name and features. The royalties were over 1075 which the trump team recently sold for $2.4 million.
The use of crypto by presidential candidate is a sign of easing up with crypto and we could further see candidates accepting donations via crypto.

There have been news of Ripple looking for experts to go for XRP ETFs. Considering the centralized nature of Ripple ecosystem and organization, they can be more specific on meeting the demands for being listed as ETF. They also don't have the issues of POS or unlimited supply like Ethereum. They have in past been considered the 2nd most popular altcoin after Ethereum. Would they win over Ethereum this time to be the 2nd crypto based spot ETF available for trading in US market? Is it going to have a positive impact on the price of XRP? How likely are the chances, what do you think about it?

We all know bitcoin has been moving between 17000 and 19000 and it's not showing any drastic move to a bull or bear but with such large increase in price, it's hard to imagine that the price has settled to this high.
Indicators are also giving mixed results. Daily buying and selling are around 50% each. Moving average are still indicating a rise.
A correction is imminent, but do you believe, there's still a bull run to come before the correction? Or would bitcoin not achieve it's ATH this time.

Stellar has made a deal with USDC, the coin issued by Circle/Coinbase. They would also be available on Stellar blockchain now. USDC has been exclusively on Ethereum and Algorand blockchain till date. It's considered to be one of the best fiat backed stable coin.
And with the news, the ever stagnant market of Stellar has jumped up 10% in last 24 hours.

A teacher has been brought to justice for encouraging iritdad in a madrasa near Paris. It gives a clear message to the enemy of religion that if they want to live in the people's islamic republic of Europe, they need to follow the sharia law. There's no room for terrorist in the religion of peace and silence.

I have 12 of my recent post deleted in last two days. That's more that the number of my post that were deleted in last one year.

I'm always in favor of reducing spams in the forum but with the last two days, I feel like I'm being targeted. Some of the mods may find some of those posts not adding value to the thread and it was fine if some of them were deleted but in my case someone is just tracking me and deleting almost all of my post which (in my perception) are adding value to the thread.

It makes me feel like my voice is being silenced in this forum. I guess mods and probably DT members can view my deleted post history and if someone's interested, I can share them the screenshot of my deleted post.

Again I'm not claiming that those were my best post, but targeting a user for two consecutive days and deleting almost all of his post is not what I expect from a mod of the bitcointalk.org forum. The standards should be applied to all users and not just on someone whom a mod picks randomly.

My friend have a good amount of DAD token in his NEO wallet, according to him it had the same icon as the DAD token being traded on some popular exchanges. The problem is the DAD token that's been trading is a ERC20 token. As I looked for the DAD token, it has something to do with the neo Blockchain but am not quite sure if they swapped the token or the token exists on both the platform or even the DAD tokens my friend been holding is worth anything?
If anybody have a faint idea about it, please advice, it's me who had introduced him to the crypto world and he expects me to have an answer.

Just defi which was been advertised a lot by both the tron team and wallets like tronlink and block explorer like tronscan supposedly is not giving users their withdrawal. It was hyped a lot among tron community and even I was considering an investment. This is another big blow for my interest in tron ecosystem as most of the projects they come up with ends up a scam.

Bitcoin was trading around upper 11K for most parts in last 3 months with occasionally over 12K and it suddenly plunged below 10K, now it's recovering and climbing upwards. Is it a right time to bag all the coins you can or is the market going to drop again before reaching another 12K for bitcoin? People that sold in 12K and bought it again at below 10K already are making good profit at this time. It's really difficult to decide when to sell and when to buy.

Bitcoin is steadily increasing over time, quietly reaching 11.8K today, highest price for last two years. Ethereum's rise is much sudden and higher against BTC, it's traded at upto $430+ today, it's highest for last two years. Where do you see the market heading? would there still be bullish ride or there ought to be an immediate correction?

I seem to have been infected by a malware that try to access dontbeevils(dot)de. I get constant notifications from my antivirus that dontbeevils(dot)de is blocked from accessing the internet. I don't know how I got infected as I'm very careful about what I browse and download. I accessed the site dontbeevils(dot)de on sandobx and found it sells bitcoin and crypto related domains and is from crypto-webminer.com. The problem is I and my antivirus can't get rid of it. It's active even when there's no app or browser open.

The well known businesses in crypto industry, BitGo, BitPay, Bitrue, Bitso, Bitstamp, Blockchain.com, Brave, BTC Markets, CipherTrace, Coinone, Crypto.com, Huobi, Independent Reserve, Liquid, Ripple and many more are doing a partnership to bring an universal PaymentID system where users be able to send and receive cash and crypto interchangeably and globally.
If anyone can make global crypto adoption possible, it's this partnership. What impact do you think this would make?

Visa one of the largest financial service providers in the world with its global debit and credit cards has filed a patent for ‘Digital Fiat Currency’ which is going to be a digital currency on a centralized computer using blockchain technology.
Visa was initially a member of Libra association but withdrew from it and now is pursuing a digital blockchain currency of its own. What's your take on it?

The recent spike in price of bitcoin has been linked to Paul Tudor Jones, a long time hedge fund manager and investor as he opened up with CNBC that almost 2% of his over 5 billion asset is infact in bitcoins. He also stated that he would keep on buying bitcoin as he compared it to gold trade in 70s.

Wouldn't it be much easier and attractive if there were gambling sites that dealt with stablecoins? Stablecoins could be easily exchanged with both fiat and crypto and are generally faster and cheaper for transaction.
I always dream about bustabit and crypto.games accepting stable coins like DAI and USDT. What makes them not look at this potential?

I knew there were some gambling dapps but I didn't knew there were advanced graphic games that can be played directly from your wallet.
One of the cool one I found in wink.org. They have all sorts of games and chats and the interface is not boring at all.
The only downside is I don't like tron as a currency much and would prefer other tokens to tron like Ethereum but should have a large volume of people and bets. Which is the most successful gambling dapp that you know of?

Bitcoin gold is probably the first popular bitcoin fork that is halving the earliest. Bitcoin original and every of it's fork are halving for the third time and that's happening this year. This halving would give us some insight on what to expect on halving of BSV, BCH and BTC later. Though the hash involved in BTG are negligible compared to rest three. https://bitcoingold.org/halving/

Edit: As Febo mentioned, BCH and BSV has already been halved and BTG also has halved while I edit this.

Everyone is telling that bitcoin is going to 3K. Every news and notifications points that the trend is going towards 3K.
Bitmex CEO is twitting he believes bitcoin could go even as low as 2100, so would it be better to sell my bitcoin now and buy for 50% cheaper?
Seems like everybody are trying their best to decrease the price, it might be better to move with the herd?
