What is your take on their growth? Let’s interact
You do not want to interact, you just want to shill bitget in the forum as you have been paid to do, it is not hard for anyone to see that. I don't know who runs the marketing arm of bitget exchange, but this method of advertising from them is terrible, they have the funds to run a signature campaign in the forum, but they prefer to hire many shills to write shit about them.
I understand why you said that maybe it is how I structured my question. My question was actually covering all the above exchanges mentioned and even more. I never intended to shill any exchange, I was just making comparisons, and I wanted to know people's points of view and thoughts of the different exchanges available and to share their experience with the different exchanges

I have traded on Binance, OKX, Bybit, HTX, Kucoin, MEXC, Bitget, BitMart, BitMex and few other exchanges.

Bybit has a good leverage and risk control, so I can let my trades play out and with just little risk involved..
What kind of good leverage and risk control does Bybit has? It is not different from all other exchanges that I mentioned except MEXC that has higher leverage than them. It is you that will have to control yourself by trading with low leverage.
Wow, you have used a lot. Do you still make use of all of them? From your list which one do you think is very reliable to you?

I trade crypto using bybit, and so far I've been enjoying my experience with them. Most of the tokens I trade are meme coins so it's much earlier, so long you minimize your risk by using the right leverage, you will still be profitable. I once used binance though but due to regulations control of exchanges binance was forced to stop operating in this jurisdiction. Bybit has a good leverage and risk control, so I can let my trades play out and with just little risk involved..
Bybit is definitely a great choice especially for traders that focus on high volatile memecoins. Their launchpad has being giving users a chance to get in before the main launch, they also list coins early like the likes of PEPE, ORDI, WIF and so on.

How the right exchanges transformed my trading
by

on 29/01/2025, 11:52:23 UTC
Last year was a good year for me trading the crypto market and one of the reasons that made this possible was the use of the right exchanges . I have tried different exchanges during my years of trading and i have dropped a number of them ,but the few that I still use are Bitget and Binance . Binance has always had the upper hand as the largest crypto exchange globally but bitget showed impressive growth rate in their user base from 20M in January to 100M by December a 400% increase, making them the second largest exchange by userbase .This level of growth reflects trust and their solid track record of zero security breaches.

Aside the increase in their user base their native token BGB also delivered a 10x return, hitting an ATH of $8.48, thanks to their first major burn of 800M tokens, reducing supply by 40%. It is no surprise they ranked top 15 cryptos by market cap in 2024.

In comparison, Bybit also expanded, its user base by around 80% in 2024, while OKX saw a 50% increase. However, in terms of value return, neither of their native tokens performed as well as BGB. The rapid expansion of these exchanges shows how competitive the industry is becoming, and it will be interesting to see how 2025 unfolds.

What is your take on their growth? Let’s interact

Re: What do you think about USDS stablecoin?

on 26/01/2025, 08:42:14 UTC
Stablecoins don't get as much attention as most cryptocurrencies as many don't see any profit potential in holding stablecoins but some stablecoins have changed this narrative.

USDS which is a stablecoin is quite different from others. From doing some research on it I discovered that USDS holders can earn rewards through Sky Token Rewards, where supplying USDS to the Sky Token Rewards module grants SKY governance tokens over time.

You can check it out here https://sky.money/. This can be a great way to hold your profits when the bear market comes as you continue to make profits while holding the stablecoin.

I am now curious to know how many stablecoins offer this. Having more than one can help with comparison. Kindly share if you have come across any others, and also what your thoughts are.
Instead of using this method, I rather keep my money in bitcoin and other notable altcoins like XRP, Solana, XLM and others. These might be volatile but I know that my money will not disappear because staking is done in centralized exchanges which if anything happen to the exchange, you lose everything you have in there. The profits from staking my money in such a system is not worth the risk because in business, you have to properly access the risk while making your business decisions.
That is a valid point and I respect your approach. Bitcoin and altcoins like XRP and Solana are solid picks for those prioritizing control, even with the volatility. While I see the appeal of staking with USDS due to its transparency and non-custodial nature, I agree it comes down to my personal risk tolerance. 

What is your outlook on Solana and XRP this year? Would love to know your target

Stablecoins usually don’t get much attention because they are seen as “safe,” but USDS is definitely changing the game. It is not just a stablecoin to hold your funds, it is actually a way to grow them. I checked out the link you sent and saw the Sky Savings Rate gives you even better yields than the old Dai Savings Rate.

What really stands out for me is the real-time proof-of-reserves it is refreshing to see that level of transparency and the fact that it is non-custodial is mind blowing. Plus, upgrading DAI to USDS is super easy at a 1:1 ratio through Sky Money, and you can trade it against other tokens like USDC and ETH without hassle. It is also great to see that USDS is listed on major exchanges exchanges like Bitget and Upbit.

Well to answer your question there are a few like LUSD,USDD, sUSD but USDS still standout as the best amongst them

What do you think about the ones i mentioned?

Trends Shifts in the Blockchain Ecosystem
by
Icey_stones
on 25/01/2025, 10:03:26 UTC

Over the week, Solana has been very strong, maintaining an uptrend quite clearly and building momentum. The SOL/BTC exchange rate is one continuous uptrend, meaning that traders are getting confident in the SOL's power against Bitcoin.

One interesting metric to consider is the revenue share from cryptographic applications, which can be compared to on-chain GDP. SOL currently dominates with 55%, while ETH follows at 20% and BASE at 10%. These numbers highlight the increasing utility and adoption of the Solana ecosystem within the broader blockchain space.

With SOL’s recent momentum and its significant role in on-chain activity, it will be fascinating to see how this trend evolves. What are your thoughts?

Speaking of Altcoin, we need to see the great opportunity, in the market in general the AI ​​category has become excellent lately its demand for enthusiasts is quite a lot to cause a category that is quite heated among successful new projects, seeing that Ava is indeed quite unique and has a function as AI , but we also need to see that there is a much better performance in the AI ​​Coin at this time, and in my opinion see what actually needs the market for this AI category so that the possibility of demand is also large in the altcoin, like AI that can help analyze the chart Or conduct technical research on a project that relies on many protocols and media information.
I totally agree with you , the AI category in crypto is has definitely gained significant recognition. While many AI projects focus on data, AVA takes a unique approach by creating interactive, audiovisual agents that bring digital assets to life. 

Its partnerships with Pudgy Penguins and L'Oréal, shows less about pure analytics and more about redefining how we engage with digital assets. If Holoworld continues to innovate, AVA could complement other AI tools while carving out its own niche.
As AVA becoming more accessible to the community it is already listed on some exchanges like Bitget, MEXC and HTX

Re: Time for Ton ecosystem to step up?.
by
Icey_stones
on 16/01/2025, 18:21:45 UTC
Last year, the TON ecosystem gained recognition as a fully L1 decentralized blockchain for web3 users due to its easy onboarding process and zero fees. However, it has become saturated with below-par "tap-to-earn" projects that likely won’t last the next two years.

I made a post on X some time ago about the types of projects on TON and emphasized the need for more innovative projects to build on the platform—rather than just "tap-to-earn" ventures—if the blockchain is to gain recognition comparable to SUI and Aptos. This year seems promising for that shift, with projects like Duckchain leading the way. it's the first Telegram consumer layer with AI integration, has raised $5 million with backing from the likes of DAO5, Gate, and others.
https://x.com/Duck_Chain?t=7uiOdh-3JivCCf_jwraiZg&s=09

Personally, I believe these are the kinds of projects that should build on TON to help the ecosystem thrive and compete. What do you think?
I completely agree with your perspective! TON’s potential has been overshadowed by the influx of tap-to-earn projects, which don’t add much long-term value.
I went through your post and found out about their event https://www.bitget.com/events/candy-bomb , where users can earn DUCK tokens by depositing or trading. As always I will always encourage everyone to do their research and make informed decisions

Securing My Web3 journey
by

on 16/01/2025, 15:22:30 UTC
 As someone who have been active in Web3, I have always been cautious about scams and risky transactions. That is why I am excited about GoPlus Security, a project that is redefining Web3 safety. 

GoPlus delivers real-time protection for tokens, NFTs, wallets, and dApps. One standout feature is its multi-chain transaction simulation, which allows users to assess potential risks before executing transactions something every DeFi user can benefit from. 

With support for over 30 blockchains and millions of daily security checks, GoPlus has proven itself as a reliable security layer for Web3. The platform’s GPS token adds further utility with staking rewards and security fee payments, making it a robust ecosystem for safer blockchain interactions. 

Web3 needs solutions like GoPlus to create a more secure and user-friendly environment. This is the next step toward mass adoption and I am all in. What is your take on it? Let’s discuss!

Re: Bybit Temporarily Halts India Operations: What Does This Mean?
by
Icey_stones
on 15/01/2025, 09:50:32 UTC

It came as surprising news to me that, starting January 12, Bybit has decided to suspend all of its services for users in India, citing regulatory compliance issues. In their words " Due to recent developments from Indian regulators and in continuation of previously implemented restrictions. Indian users will temporarily be unable to open new trades or access any products on the Bybit platform.”"

 https://cointelegraph.com/news/bybit-suspends-crypto-trading-india)

While this situation unfolds, I’d suggest finding a reliable and compliant exchange with good Proof of Reserves (PoR) and protection funds that cater to users' needs. How’s it going with WazirX though?

By the way, I’m concerned about this development. Do you think this suspension could be prolonged? I hope you have a suitable backup plan so you can continue your trading experience smoothly.
I was also surprise about it as well. Bybit has been a trusted platform, so it is disappointing to see them halt services. I have been exploring alternatives for some of my Indian friends, like the likes of Kucoin, Bitget and others but the latter kind of seems to be more with his trading style and they also list token early. Do you have any recommendation for me or do you think I should go on with my findings?

Shiba's Inu Ever-growing Ecosystem
by
Icey_stones
on 13/01/2025, 19:59:35 UTC
After following the growth of the Shiba ecosystem and seeing its incredible impact, I can’t help but appreciate how it consistently brings unique projects to the crypto space. Over the years, tokens like SHIB, LEASH have not only delivered value but also built a strong, loyal community. Their success has made the ecosystem a benchmark for innovation in the memecoin space. 

Recently, my research led me to TREAT, the latest addition to the Shiba family. What caught my attention about TREAT is its multifaceted utility. Beyond being a governance token for Shib DAO, it offers exciting use cases like SHIBPAY for blockchain-verified payments, direct integration with yield farming (WOOF Wars 2.0), and staking rewards.

I am especially interested in their Launchpool. It is a chance to lock tokens like BGB and earn a share of 87,450,000 TREAT. This aligns with their commitment to rewarding loyal community members and driving engagement. 

What are your thoughts? Do you think it’s another winner in the making?

Re: Trading and losing
by
Icey_stones
on 12/01/2025, 22:39:02 UTC
It is not easy to make money and start losing the money all because you need extra income from trading. The fact is that most traders are losing. If you do not want to lose in trading in 2025, you need to have these four trading strategic plans.

1. Do not be in haste. That is the reason people think of day trading and lose
2. Having it in mind that it is better to earn little than to lose big all because you want to earn big
3. Average instead of martingale. An example of this is if you have $1000 for trading, you can begin with $200 and always be satisfied with the profit. But it you are losing, you can add $200 to it and so on to help you increase the chance of making money as it will make the market price get near to the price you bought the coin.
4. Be careful of altcoins. Although I trade altcoins but I use very lower amount of money for it. They are very dangerous.

There are others like knowing how to read charts, read and interpret news into your analyses and speculations, know about indicators. But which are the basics and I do not need to mention them as I believe you know them already.
Thank you for the strategic plans. This was me when I first got into trading, the adrenaline was too the roof always want to make money and when I do, want to make more (greed). Overtime I began to overcome my greed and drew out a plan also for myself. I will make sure to include yours to mine

Bybit halts operations in India. What is the way out?
by

on 11/01/2025, 20:08:22 UTC
I recently came across the news that Bybit will be suspending services for Indian users starting January 12  and I couldn’t help but feel for everyone affected. It is always frustrating when a trusted platform is no longer accessible, leaving users scrambling for alternatives. 

For anyone in India looking for a reliable and safe exchange I will strongly recommend checking out ones that are very user friendly and list projects early. It is also the exchange I have been using for a while now and I can confidently say it is one of the best exchanges out there. Unlike many others it has made regulatory compliance a top priority. They recently secured operating licenses in countries like Lithuania and Poland, which speaks volumes about their commitment to staying ahead in this ever-changing landscape.

Re: Rewarding blockchain games

Has anyone else checked it out?

I haven't checked it, but a few days ago this project was discussed in one of the local Telegram communities where I join. There they were told that $CATGOLD had carried out an airdrop distribution. After looking at the website, I feel that this project is almost the same as cloud mining, don't you think?

And as we all know, the future of cloud mining doesn't end well because the system usually implements a ponzi-like system. I would personally stay away from these kinds of projects, as they don't have good long-term prospects.
I get where you are coming from and I have seen my fair share of projects that feel like they are walking a fine line with cloud mining models. Personally, I don’t think Cat Gold Miner is quite the same. While it does involve mining mechanics the integration of NFTs and fully on-chain transparency sets it apart a bit. 

That said, I totally agree with staying cautious especially if something feels off. I am trying it out but keeping my expectations realistic and being careful not to dive in too deep until the project proves itself over time. It is all about measured risks.

The fact that it is built on the TON blockchain adds an extra layer of transparency and reliability. Plus, the integration of NFTs feels like a natural fit giving the game some real staying power. Now with its token being listed, the hype is definitely justified. 

Has anyone else checked it out?

Almost all new games are now build on TON, tap2earn, crypto based casinos, and it seems that there are a big hype on TON blockchain in this bull run.

Not sure though if the hype is justified, I mean if there are a lot of competitions and obviously the project is not a prime mover, then it could be very hard to capture the support of the community are the market has been saturated already.

But it's good that it has been listed, and so we will have to wait if it will grow overtime or not.

TON blockchain is known for its games and the hype around them.
Wouldn't call it a layer of trust per se, however, it's interesting to dig deeper than that.
Usually, they (games on it) don't live for long and their time has passed, mostly.


This is why its important for people to have due diligence to know about the project they are entering. Since usually those new blockchain games out there or other things using crpyto at the moment is just trying to hype people then scam them.

That's why before anything bad happens maybe they should take proper precaution and always know on when to take their profit if they really want to  try those projects. To many scam play to earn has pass in the scene already so hopefully there's no new people will get scam with these schemes. So hopefully they think fast before the dev pull a rug pull schemes on their project.
You are absolutely right doing proper research is key in this space. I have seen too many projects that start with a lot of hype but end up as rug pulls, leaving people burned. Personally, I approach new blockchain games cautiously. With projects like Cat Gold Miner, I have taken the time to look into their tokenomics, listings and the team behind them before diving in. 

It is all about balancing curiosity with caution. If a project looks promising, I try it out but always keep an eye on the risks and make sure to take profits when needed. Hopefully more people follow this mindset and stay safe out there.

I get your point about the TON blockchain  getting a lot of attention lately and the competition being fierce but from my research i think Cat Gold Miner has potential.

The listing is a great step forward but like you said, it is about whether it can sustain growth over time. Let’s see how it evolves because this space always has surprises! Have you had a chance to try the game yet?

I was scrolling through blockchain game updates the other day to find new games when I came across Cat Gold Miner and I have been hooked ever since. What initially caught my attention was its simplicity and none of that overly complicated stuff you often see with blockchain games. It is pretty straightforward as it just entails to mine gold, upgrade your virtual mines, and earn tokens. 

The fact that it is built on the TON blockchain adds an extra layer of transparency and reliability. Plus, the integration of NFTs feels like a natural fit giving the game some real staying power. Now with its token being listed, the hype is definitely justified.

Re: Are DePIN projects still underrated?
by

You know guys what's interesting? The development of DePIN. It has evolved so much that it's kinda hard to ignore its potential. I know that a few of you guys have been discussing this, maybe I can know even more what's possible with it..

There are a lot of depin projects, really good ones with goals and solutions. There's interesting one I've been holding its airdrop. Grass Io, which focuses on monetizing unused internet bandwidth and using those data to improve AI..

I have also seen some solutions come to handy, such as U2U project, they leverage advanced DAG technology and EVM compatibility for ultra-fast transactions and scalability. Their unique subnet tech enables developers to build scalable, independent networks, perfect for DePIN apps. Not to mention their U2U token powers the network's innovation incubation programs, where devs can propose and receive support for their projects. It's been hyped on X since the listing on exchanges like Bitget, MEXC and others.

So do we still lack something in DePIN to make it truly trend?
DePIN has been fascinating to watch evolve. Personally, I have been really intrigued by Grass Io, which turns unused bandwidth into something valuable for AI and U2U Network with its advanced DAG tech and subnets that make scalable DePIN apps a reality. 

For me, what stands out about U2U is how it is not just about speed and scalability but also about supporting innovation through its incubation programs. It feels like a project with real purpose. 

To answer your question , i will say yes and i think what will make it trend will be broader adoption and real-world intergration. Also, with its listing announcement on platforms like Bitget things are definitely looking up. You can check out the latest updates on their [Twitter](https://x.com/U2UNetwork) as they continue to build momentum.
What is your take?
