Those behind the airdrop projects of this days have being taking advantage of the participants of their projects who go into it with the belief of the good old days that airdrop projects were devs were genuine and had the community in the context of the project. Greedy is an understatement to the projects that are launched this days , especially all of those time particularly late last year and early part of this year all the telegram tap-tap airdrop projects rather took from their participants instead of airdropping what they have spent time and money on in carrying out those ridiculous tasks.

I did not know Binance futures went down. I don't trade in future but if the same thing happens to spot trading, then I will be angry if a coin meets my entry and my buy limit does not trigger, although this usually happens on Binance let's say if a big number like a multiple of 5 is used as buy or sell price, for example 5,0.5, 0.005, etc. These numbers are too exposed, and especially on Binance, market makers manipulate the order book to either pump high or dump high, like sudden movement around these numbers, especially around the new candle formation.

KuCoin and some other exchanges are better in this case and sometimes we can even get better rates on other exchanges, but on Binance, we don't have a chance to get anything a bit cheaper, although few cents don't make much difference.

I feel like the beginners has a lot to learn when it comes to security . But then again I ask, apart from using a trusted wallet or app, what are some of the beginners-friendly tips to keep my coin safe?

Also how am I to identify scammers cus if we are able to figure them out, we should be able to trade safely.

I am a beginners trying to navigate and so far and most of the post and response I’ve been seeing have been beneficial to me.

It has been so dramatic with how we define the duration for long time investment. Everyone have their own view of how they think their patient or investment plans can sustain them all the while.
Some foresee the least 4 years some foresees 8 years and above to be a long term plans but yet, some says either 4 to 8 years is not enough to be long term plans but 10 years and above.
I think this is a psychological matter where your emotions and your alternative source of income flows have to determine your goals and as well your time of holding before taking a sells decision.

So to you all, when is actually the timing limit for long term investment plans when invest on bitcoin?

What do we think of a time that may come when the fate of human survival will depend only on using cryptocurrency for buying and selling, because mankind may soon find Fiat currency is obsolete or of no value in their current environment perhaps due to world earth crisis or pandemic or war .

Your opinion is valid!

A devoted trader and someone who knows about how the bear market and bull function can never make same mistake, this is excluding knowing about technical and fundamentals analysis. Those things are those who are routed into trading, while good investors or someone who has been in the cryptocurrency space should understand how the market function.

The thing is, if you keep making same mistakes for the past 5 years then I must you are not taking trading serious or it's not meant for you, meaning it would be more better you do investment than trading. Just imagine investment of 5 years, meaning right from 2020 you could had made serious profit from your investment than trading.

One thing people don't know is that investment could be good for some people while trading could also be good for some people but everyone wants to venture into trading without knowing that investment could be more better for them.

They do not understand the whole point of it, it's clear that we are not going to see the price being that quickly up, and they get in and realize too late that even a small movement could make it zero and because of that they lose the whole trade, whatever they put on that trade becomes zero very quickly and they do not get that.

This is why it's clear that we are going to see plenty of people who are not doing the right job, and we should probably focus on how to do a better job if we know what we are dealing with. Newbies should be dealing with spot trading, because it's a lot better and won't have that kind of return, it would make more sense and it would allow us to have better return. If you can do that, then we can earn a lot more.

As a rule, tokens are not listed on all exchanges, and this is the reason that I have several accounts on different exchanges. In addition, due to the difference in the price of a coin on different exchanges, you can engage in arbitrage trading and this provides an additional opportunity to make a profit by buying a coin on one exchange and selling it on another at a higher price. This does not happen often, but it is necessary to be always ready so as not to miss such an opportunity.

I earn some airdrops by doing some easy tasks, so yes, I earn, but some of them are not worth holding. Sell them early if you want to make a profit rather than waiting long until the price is not worth selling.
About staking, yes, not much, but it's growing, and honestly, I'm not confident to hold this since I don't have full control of my wallet. That is why I only put an amount that I can afford to lose in multiple exchanges while earning from their offers.

Spreading to different exchanges is a must if you are a trader or if you are staking something to make profit, but still it's risky; we don't have full control of them. That's why you don't put much into exchanges if your purpose is to hold.
Since mine are spread out to Binance and OKX and some of them on Bitget, I'm not worried much if one exchange is shut down since I use them to take advantage of earning from doing some tasks and free airdrops and earn from staking. As I do want to grow them each while trading mainly on OKX.

About the issue above about OKX I don't have an issue using it except the last time that I deposited, it wasn't credited to my account due to the minimum deposit, below minimum but they solved the issue after a few months when the minimum deposit was dropped.

Yeah youre right! no CEX is flawless Binance, OKX, Bitget, Bybit, Kucoin and many more theyve all had downtime before. Thats why I always keep accounts on a only limited cex, it’s just smart risk management and same way you diversify assets. Relying on one exchange is not good. But its always better to keep the funds or asset on a non custodial wallet for maximum protection.

AI also requires data centers for its research and must be constantly updated. It requires a lot of power to operate. Without power to manage it, AI will not function.

On the other hand, AI also needs to provide benefits to its contributors, just as Bitcoin fairly rewards miners. If such principles can be implemented for the successful development of decentralized AI, then we can safely say it is possible.
