Yeah DOT And Solana is on my list too, they are actively developing their project right now with strong team and solid community, Really good for long-term. Also maybe you can check some of my recommendation like Cardano, AIOZ, Arweave, CCFound. They also have an great potential with new concept on the market especially AIOZ, Arweave and CCFound.

I have same case like that, i never share my private key anywhere from around 2017 and only using metamask but my wallet get hacked it's coming from malware on Dekstop & Android Device, i lost around $1500 from there and you cann see it yourself here 0x2D923A09Bf3110b21381A528552700531dE83F63 (Lost UNI & ETH), It's possible since there was some site that generating random Ethereum address with private key like ethdir.io but the chance was very small, Beside that trust wallet can be compromised if your android phone was hacked and monitored since everything you do on phone will be tracked even though it's hard, Well just be careful and use Change address for every 1-3 months, beside that never click any suspicious link. Good luck!

Ethereum GAS Fee was much lower for now and it was reasonable i suppose, BSC Is good alternative too but the market was mainly available only on Ethereum Network. In case you want collect some stuff and get money from your NFT then you can try Axie Infinity, It's classic ARPG Game and you can earn SLP While adventuring, Beside that maybe selling some Art, Music or even E-Book on the Opensea, I personally will try to sell some of my photography (Mainly Natures).

Well, the Blockchain Community is very solid and prioritizes transparency so basically it's not FUD but a fact that really happened. We need to be concerned about this because Tether is one of the most widely used Fiat in the global market today and it is very worrying that as far as I have read that USDT/Tether is not backed up by real assets (less than 10% on balance sheet) and the rest only commercial paper or fictitious assets. It's possible that this will have an impact on the Bitcoin market, Well let's see because this has been going on for a long time.

Both of them is good and backed by reputable company, BUSD with Binance and USDT/Tether with tether limited (Bitfinex) So if there anything happens i suppose we don't need to panic because it is controlled and maintained by the two largest exchanges in the crypto market, no need to be afraid but even so be careful, Good luck!

Hi mate, Welcome! It's little bit hard i suppose for US Residents especially for IEO, STO, Launchpads & IDO since mostly of that methods require KYC Verification and prohibit US Residents to join but maybe you can try your luck on ICO since the regulation not really strict also try to join on public on DEX like Pancakeswap or Uniswap since it's didn't require any verification.

Humor and "Tears" I suppose, Musk was succesfully trolling us and tons of people was crying coz their investment get rekt while basically some of people especially that already involved on crypto before Elon involving on crypto was laughing and crying too, Well both of them More or less it's same except that Mcafee promotes more new projects where Musk only focuses on major cryptos such as Bitcoin & Doge (For now (?)), Well the positive impact at least gives a new atmosphere to the crypto market lately.

There are tons of them right now something like Reflection, LP Acquisition, and Burn on one smart contract right? Even though i didn't know about % on each project but you can check Safemoon, It's have all your criteria, Beside that Safemooncash (New Protocol), DUI Protocol 8% total tax, Nebula Protocol (Not sure about the %). You should do your own research about some of that project, If you want more safe than Safemoon is much better. DYOR and be careful!

Well i suppose bitcoin source code was the main refrence for almost all altcoin even though it's not forked from original Bitcoin source code, For the price itself i agree with you, Bitcoin is the standard on the crypto market and when it's dump then everything will going to dump too expect Stablecoins, Well that just how the market works.

IMHO, Elon is just going to troll us again, Why Doge when basically Bitcoin was more reliable than doge, Beside some alts is much better in term of supply, TPS, use case, etc. I personally won't doge to be listed on Tesla since last time we trust them they are stabbing us on the back, Yeah go to $1 and then instantly dumped when Tesla unlist Doge like Bitcoin before, It's going to make crypto face more bad on the others people who are not involved in crypto, Enough is enough.

IMHO, basically it's normal because most middle aged people are not very up to date about technology and they don't want to try new things because maybe the previous doctrine emphasized more stable investment options like gold.

In the case of your parents, I think he knows that crypto is very volatile compared to the stock market and prefers to continue investing in stocks because the fundamentals can be seen in the eyes where crypto is completely on the internet. Besides, maybe your dad is afraid of losing his assets because he has various dependents and payment to be paid so I think it's quite rational but you're not wrong to try convicing your dad to invest on crypto.
