There was some Defi craze meanwhile. Many Defi coins rose sharply at a much better pace than bitcoin could. While Defi indeed is a good platform for future, it's not sure that all or any of the current Defi coin would be the leader of defi market in the future. It's a risky hype driven rise and the prices are now correcting themselves while bitcoin have has a slow but steady rise towards 12K.

If it's just a transaction to address, the sender would never know who the receiver are or how to contact them and the receiver also would not know that the transaction has been a mistake. They'll not know me and I'll not know them. The finders are keepers.
But if they really have made a trade with me in past or is know from somewhere specially this forum and got my attention from a post or direct contact, I'd return it to the sender if 1ETH is really important to him/her/it.

I just sold every ETH on a average value about 440. It's not that I'm not bullish about the coin, I am, I believe ETH is going to hit 1K within a year but at current rise, Ethereum network is already facing a large congestion and the tx fees have rose so much that it's not worth doing small transfers. This would certainly discourage arbitrage traders and small investors. The price is ought to correct now. I'd buy it again around 360.

Covid is not going to normalize overnight. And while it goes in the phase of normalization, digital transaction would be preferred. Not every nation have a well established digital payment system and there are no easy system on interantional trade. And with the US trade war, the world is going to be divided into two different blocks and crypto would be a useful tool on staying float at this risky market.

I was curious and went through it. They are not just promoting band, they are recommending binance as a good wallet. Binance is not a compulsion but a recommendation. You need your registered email on coinmarketcap.
The $10 worth of band are not just for anybody as they stated that some of the lucky winners are going to get it. They make you do some questionnaire of which most are obvious answers while a few are tricky.

I don't think bank would just freeze account of their customers on their own without a directive from the government or regulatory bodies. I don't know how it works there but banks always tries to keep their customer with them. They won't be troubling people for just using the banks to buy legal things. One situation maybe the number of fraud calls originating on transactions, but I don't think that would be large among legit crypto traders. Often non crypto networking schemes are also sold as crypto to naive investors around the world.

It maybe my experience but most of the mining or power related projects going through ICO or IEO has been a disastrous till date. Much hyped projects like Ice rock mining and hyped, still active but worthless Wepower has made their investors sad.
Mining itself is losing attraction, bitcoin mining would sustain but it won't be profitable for everyone and everywhere and people and projects are moving into POS system.

The safety depends largely on how you use the wallet. Any form of wallet that has no control to your private keys are safer from third party risks. Paper wallet maybe safe from third parties but keeping the paper safe and keeping privacy during printing and claiming your coins back would have a degree of risks. Similar are the risks with hardware wallets. Online wallets can be safer for a person who uses the coins often as they have multiple verification system but your funds would be at the mercy of third party.

Doing a job in 1 hour which usually takes 20 minutes is no time travel. I guess people would sooner or later try your hypothesis and come with clear conclusions.

China is just following what US and USSR did.
China's current political system has both pros and cons but the world is not going to easily accept it.
China from ancient times was one of the strongest economy. Though they needed to copy most of the western things to thrive, now they are not just copycat's but are a large source on innovation and ideas.
China's policy has always been economy first but US is doing all it can to destroy Chinese economy. The economic cold war is surely going to divide the world into two poles.
As for India, it do have potential to rise as a superpower but it's politics are based on propaganda and lies. For they do come to world stage, they should join hands with China for economical benefits and regional power. 

Mask is more about not letting other catch your virus than not to contact virus yourself.
There are many asymptomatic or less severe cases that goes unnoticed but they can infect others.
The relative success in containing the virus in East and South East Asia is mostly credited to the strict implementation of mask on public.

There are many advantages of introduction of stable coins in the crypto market. Stable coin is not only a powerful tool for crypto traders who make profit on price fluctuation but also a system to reduce crypto price volatility. Prices of crypto has been less volatile after the popularity of stable coin. The current price trend is an example of it's action.

There's an old saying "Buy when the market is green and sell when the market is red".
It's arguably one of the better strategy as your money won't remain stale. When you see a bullish trend, you  buy the first moment you can and when you thin it's turning into a bear, you sell. Short term investors earned a good profit in last 1 month as compared to holders that are holding for last 2 years. Different people have different strategy when it comes into trading but the essence is to increase your profit while limiting your loss.

This could be true but more childish than these people is the security of twitter. And with the history of Kevin Mitnick, probably he social engineered someone inside twitter to give him away sensitive information about users. And twitter too confirmed that they stored users password in plain text on log files. Glad it was some individuals gaining access to social profile, if organized hacking groups had a similar access, they could have created much more havoc or just could have used them to siphon internal data.

It would be wiser to avoid Tether till they prove that they hold the fiat equivalent to their token issuance. Till than USDC and Paxos could be similar alternative as both of them are regularly verified with external auditor. In the time of rise in price many people turn into USD equivalent and it would be a disaster if USDT couldn't provide the conversion if every of them withdrew.

Even on previous bitcoin halving, the price of bitcoin started going steep high after about 6 months and not only did the bitcoin's price rose, it also lifted the price of almost every alts. This time, that trend seems to be repeating, bitcoin is increasing so are most crypto. No one can guarantee a another all time high but we are certainly moving towards larger number.

Prices have increased much more that what they were a month ago. It's not quite sure when we'd actually see a bull run on crypto prices. So, I'd say it would be better to wait some time and see how the prices move, Bitcoin is about to hit 10K and I'd not be buying bitcoin above $8.5K as it's already my average. Etherum too have crossed 300 hurdle and soaring. It could be a good time to make profit from your investment.

Though crypto are generally considered similar things, but they are very much different in their nature and mode of use. It would not be wise to compare a stablecoin, a STO coin, a utility coin and a masternode coin at once. It's quite unrelevant to call a centralized coin a competitor of bitcoin.
As there are no regularities in crypto and their nature, the metrics too would be much different. You can't just call 1st or 2nd for participants from a different race.

The change in the way prices moves is actually shows that the crypto market is maturing. Investors now just don't jump in but analyze every coin they intend to invest in. If you look at the coin's price and their 24  hour change, some coins has achieved good growth while most of the coins haven't moved at all and a small number of coins price are actually decreasing.
