Re: Is the era of Telegram finally over ?

Depending on what you take Telegram for, some people still make use of Telegram all day it doesn't demand on seasons. Telegram looks different from other social media, where you can publicly interact with people plus scammers are now in multitude, moment you interact in any group, you get bunch of messages referring to scam profiles and sites.  Projects are now moving out from Telegram as the best way of promotion, they only remain because it has group functions, more easy and convenient to interact publicly, some of us in the forum already have limited time using Telegram, it's no more necessary where there has been several available options.
To me, Telegram hasn't been very plain in their modus operandi and that's one why I keep it closed or offline many times.
I still think however that it has a potential of being better if managed by someone with a better vision than money, because with the scam projects and just about any Tom, Dick or Harry posting ads and using it as a launch pad for their projects, it looks to me that the current management of Telegram may be more than willing to release the platform to a worthy owner with a better vision for it.
I absolutely agree with you, in as much as i like using telegram the fact that it needs to improve in terms of operating system should not be ignored. Hopefully, there’s a huge change to it in the future.

My telegram is active because of Bitcointalk notifier bot.
The fame last year was as a result of Memecoins and shitcoins projects that users could engage in to make some bucks
I think it has been silent for sometime which means either they are not paying much or just scam.

Telegram had never entice me, since using whatsapp is enough for me.
Yeah exactly the fame was a result of those projects, I wonder what the app would have in store for it users along the lines. Whatsapp and X does it all for me.

Is the era of Telegram finally over ?

on 11/04/2025, 18:07:14 UTC
A funny incident happened to me today, while i was doing my daily routine check on the exchanges i use, i mainly use Binance and Bitget and read across the forums of both everyday. And while doing so today, i came across a BGB giveaway  for those who joined the telegram community and i literally just rushed over to Telegram without reading the rest that states “for new users only” lol.

I literally laughed when I found out about it but it got me thinking about how I totally forgot telegram because it’s been months since I opened the app or use it at all. Following the hype around it last year, i never could have thought i would stop using it at a point. I’m curious tho, do you still telegram ?

Don't have high expectations on your VPNs, even the strongest of them all can't always clean your tracks, use VPN to commit strong crime they will still find you and burst your ass, lower your expectations around VPN, privacy they say? I can't stop laughing.

VPN can't protect your ass when it comes to crypto, privacy protection have nothing to do with keeping your private keys or recovery seed offline, you have been fooled if you believe this, keep your keys to yourself and yourself only, they are even more secured if you keep them away from the Internet which is why I always write my seed phrases in a book.

Even a PC that's running an Antivirus still get viruses, let's not even go there, some viruses are so tough that they will sneak around into your PC and you will be thinking that your Antivirus is protecting you.
I do agree most antivirus are not strong enough to protect one’s PC from viruses and malware. I just hope newbies won’t fall victim of the misinformation because alot go on YouTube to find solutions and will automatically believe what they come across on there.

Re: What are the chances of winning an Exchange event ?

Exchange events are a complete waste of time just one of the strategics they use in holding up users to increase the capacity of usage of their exchange.

If you trade for the tokens some times if the rewards are huge you might end up sharing a good amount with others.

Imagine 500 hundred users competing for $1000 then after wins they split with a hierarchy down towards your position ho much do you think you will be rewarded after spending time and money? it's now clear that it's not worth it.


I don’t know if i’m the only one but since I decided to put trading on hold since the beginning of the year due to the market instability but one thing i’ve done steadily is participating in hodling and staking events on exchanges through which i’ve gotten some airdrop tokens.
If you are wondering about what to do, between investment and trading or staking on centralized exchanges, it shows me that you are inexperienced in this market from both investment and trading. Because if you are experienced enough with investment and trading, you will know that investment worths to do as it is profitable, but trading does not worth your time as it causes your capital loss.

Interestingly, i came across a trading event today on one of the exchange i use. The event, Diamond Thursday seemed like a great one because i found out it’s a weekly  event that’s been on for 20 weeks now on the exchange but I’ve been contemplating about participating because I get to win the exchange token if i do.
Storing your fund on centralized exchanges just for staking and getting exchange tokens, is risky and you need to read
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts
You can search for Terra and FTX collapes and some consequent bankrupcies like Three Arrow Capital, Voyager, and more.
I don't know if you under what op is talking about but I think all that suggestions are not what his asking for!
Users sharing $1000 as rewards is ridiculous but nevertheless we just have to keep trying. This is the main reason why i asked… to know more about events like these.

Not at all you got it all wrong, if it was a shill i would have mentioned the name. It simply one of my favorite exchanges that’s all. I was simply hoping to get some advice here which is why i posted this. As someone who doesn’t participate in events like this before…it is not wrong of me to ask for others opinions.

Happy new month everyone. This year definitely came with alot of ups and downs for crypto that i totally forgot its April Fools’ day. I came across a post while scrolling through X earlier claiming Bitcoin is expected to reach the $200k mark soon, i was ready to counter the post before realizing it’s April fool lol.

Then again i saw some exchanges also joined in on the trend by posting some kind of puzzle. One of the posts  here  was illustrating Bitcoin plus cash asking users what they think the possible results could be. I like coming across light hearted posts like this out of the blue as it reminds me crypto can be fun while chasing the bag. Are you also like me who did not remember today is April Fools’ day ?

Re: Can new tokens like ‘Kiloex’ create any impact in the future upon listing!
by
SiliconHat
on 29/03/2025, 19:05:19 UTC
Would this do better than other DeFi projects?

If it gets a lot of support from CEXs, then it should have a great potential to replace previous DEXs. Honestly, I haven't looked deeper into the KiloEX project, so I don't know exactly what makes their DEX different from the others. Is the KiloEX we're discussing here this project?

I think I'll look into it more later for potential investment purposes, there aren't many good DEXs right now, so if there's a project that could be a game changer, that would be a good thing for the industry
Yes it’s the KiloEx project in context. I think as a DEX it got potential, i just found out now that it’s backed by Foresight ventures and it’s token is already listed early on Bitget. That shows it’s a project that should be on watchlist especially now that DEXs performance are quite low probably because of liquidity.

I’d definitely check it out often, i heard it also has a CEX backing. Personally, i might buy the token now before the price surge later on.

Re: Buying tokens early seem to be the best option lately

If you're looking for some hype, then buying early is a great strategy.

But make sure you’re investing in the right project. Just because there’s hype doesn’t mean it’s legit, if the project turns out to be a scam, the latecomers will be the ones left holding the bag. And if that happens, what you're investing in is basically just another Ponzi scheme.

You're actually right. Buying early is key but only with the right projects so proper DYOR is needed, but I think what OP means is some exchanges(Bitget) gives more opportunities for a better ROI by listing projects early than most. Saw a thread on Twitter last year about Binance listing being a sell signal these days. It was an eye opener analysis though. I'll look for it and revert.. what do you think?.
As long as the exchange has good trading volume, it will definitely attract a lot of traders. Traders prefer exchanges where the volume isn’t fake because that’s a good sign it can’t be easily manipulated. So first, the project itself has to be legit, and second, it should be listed on a reputable exchange. I’m not too sure about Bitget, but I’ve been seeing it around a lot, seems like many users are already promoting it.

You are right. One of the factors i check before using an exchange is its trading volume. In my opinion, it seems Bitget is getting more exposure because of its improved reputation. I can’t even fathom the amount of users that would have made good returns because of its early listing. Also, I think the events it hold is also another reason.

Re: Choose Stop Loss over Liquidation
by
SiliconHat
on 25/03/2025, 18:05:55 UTC
It is too careless if futures traders do not set stop-lose because we know market movements are difficult to predict, therefore people who are too reckless with SL have ignored their risks.

I've seen in X and this was widely reported if I'm not mistaken he was liquidated $1M when he was sleeping, because he forgot to set a stop-lose.
Futures trading is most avoided by me because I know the risk is so great that I don't want to not bear it.
I’m quite surprised, i mean no matter how much money a trader has stop-loss should be in the first measure to set in case the trade goes south. It can only be forgotten if the trader is a newbie.

I’m sure this is the reason Bitget organized an opportunity for new traders to be protected from liquidation because it’s certain new traders get liquidated the most. Though i’ve seen professional traders also make this mistake due to emotions. To avoid loss in crypto, one has to be very careful when emotions want to creep in.

I think what you said is the highest risk. Binance does not accept all coins on its platform. Moreover, it seems that you got 200% profit from the coin you bought from Bitgate exchange, and later it was listed on Binance, if it had not been listed on Binance, then maybe you would never have gotten 200 percent return. Many people buy tokens from the pre-market before they are listed on the market, some tokens are listed on the market, some tokens come to a good market, and some tokens are not listed. So instead of falling into this risky situation, it is better to invest in the highest coin from the coinmarketcap, but I think the best investment is Bitcoin.

What happened was quite the opposite, i had already gotten 200% profit prior to Binance listing. The token dumped immediately it was listed on it. This strategy has worked for me in the past tho but i might start looking into coins from coinmarketcap also.

Just to be clear, i didn’t invest in it based on hype. I got the hint that Binance would list it which was what prompted me. Who buy tokens based on hype these days ?

It is high risk to think that that's the best option to invest. What you are doing is gambling, despite that you have mentioned about three tokens that you have bought using same pattern and you made profit from the tokens, how about the rest of the high numbers of tokens that didn't pump after they were listed?

There's no doubt that the moment some token gets listed, the price starts to pump and anybody that buys very early once it's listed can make a whole lot of profit as the price continues to pump but you also need to be aware that there were many token that dumped just after being listing on the exchange, they only spiked with one long candle and dumped immediately, that is why I said it is a high risk investment idea. You don't need to adopt such investment patterns if you are not ready to lose money unnecessarily. Just sharing someone's experience.

I didn’t imply fully adopting the strategy, it just a strategy that worked for me and i thought share. I’m aware many tokens got dumped after listing which is why i DYOR before choosing a coin to invest in. I didn’t just randomly choose the token, i did my research.

One thing i’ve noticed in the crypto space is sometimes a simple strategy can make you more potential profits. I’m sure i’m not only one taking note of the recent happenings on exchanges. I mean one would list projects early, giving investors the opportunity to buy early while another one would list the same project later, it’s like giving the sell signal because early investors sell upon listing.

I’ve seen this happened often especially with $PNUT and $ACT. Yet again, $BMT i bought it on Bitget early on when it listed, it did +200% and sold when i realized the price was dropping upon Binance listing. Its listing pattern nowadays is like giving a sell signal and it wasn’t used to be like this. Seriously, it really needs to change this whole dumping cycle it has going on.

Re: Finally got some GREEN amidst the market downtrend

on 19/03/2025, 08:28:07 UTC
That's ridiculous my friend. You quote your conscience which is to guide your paths without getting to regret your action in the future just because the $BMT was listed in th exchange?
I'm not mean to discourage you but you just understand that the medium of identifying potential coins isn't just tied on it being listed in the exchange.
Historical there had been coins that performed excitedly to it community users and went dump for years up to date.
Luna coin that was launched in the 2019 and made good value of $45 billion in the market cap in 2022 got dumped in less than a week.
Looks coin surged a peak of $7 when listed in the beginning of 2022 and was dropped to almost 100% in a couple of months after which also equivalently was experienced the the FileCoin.
So if you know how most of the hyped coins has done so well but later goes dump, you'll not be carried away just by the current market cap or being emotionally manipulated by the news

Well, i was not expecting long term pump especially not in this market situation, i was after profits and for me i was able to take it. It’s quite disappointing to see it dumped after Binance listing, it really needs to improve its listing strategy. If i was greedy, i would have been in loss by now. In situations like this, it’s best to know when to take profits and avoid greed.

Did anyone aped on this one ?
Me.
I did signed for it but I've got nothing. I've checked it for so many times but I have no token to be received in my dashboard. I want to know if you did guys tried to invite other people to sign under you? Because if that is so, I didn't do any of it after signing up for myself. Most of the airdrops are like that, right? If you've got that token, you either take some profits and have some in remain to be held for a longer time because it might pump. I'm sure it is what is on the head of most that have received their BMTs from the airdrop.

To answer your question, yes, to get more rewards in airdrops, one has to refer. It really add up for better results on the long run. I didn’t participate in the airdrop though but i was lucky enough to buy on Bitget before Binance listing. Just like you said, holding some of the tokens for a long time is best incase of future pump.

I can still recall when $BMT listed on Bitget few days, i saw it as another mere coin that would pump and dump but guess who was wrong ? ME because this token did 2900% in price increase before Binance announcement.

Honestly, i was surprise when Binance announced Bubblemaps $BMT through its Hodlers Airdrop platform which would contribute to further price increase. Even though the market is unpredictable, i’m sure some would have took the risk to ape in early when it listed few days ago. I can only imagine how great they’ll feel with this.

It would be interesting to see more projects in the green amidst the market downturn. Did anyone aped on this one ?

Well for me I did stake my coins on the exchanges in the passed. But now I do not stake any more of my coins like Sol, BNB, and Ethereum.

For me it is not worth it to not have control of your own keys. And now there is companies like Ledger and other ones where you can stake. But we do not know for sure if we will lose out crypto or not.

Which exchange have you staked on in the past ?. For me, i do stake a lot on Bitget and it’s been a smooth ride so far. Though, i do not stake for a long period of time.
