The issue with your portfolio is that many (or all) of these tokens likely won’t reach new ATHs in the next bull run, since market sentiment seems to be consolidating around a small handful of names. It absolutely sucks (and is antithetical to the original intention of crypto), but look at what Wall Street is saying, not a bunch of random YouTubers whose main source of revenue is ads. I'm speaking from experience...I lost a TON after the bubble burst last time, but then I consolidated into a couple names, and did quite well this time. MATIC / Polygon / POL (lol), for example, was a total dud, and I don’t think it ever reached its ATH this cycle. If your portfolio was BTC, ETH, SOL, and maybe BNB, I’d recommend holding. Answer is A.

They have a business model and they are following it. They are making a TON of money on their capital markets venture right now. Here, don’t take my word for it: What we’re building goes beyond bitcoin exposure," Saylor told Investopedia Monday. "It’s a capital markets platform: Digital Money built on Digital Credit, secured by Digital Capital. That’s not something an ETF or a fund structure can replicate."

Swap to ETH/BTC and hold those instead if you're interested in crypto, otherwise convert to stocks/ETFs (also xStocks are a thing now?). TON has Telegram as its centralized community and most of telegram's community is a bunch of weird spoiled kids who can afford to buy NFT emojis (or usernames) to put in their profile 🤦🏻‍♂️ Dev community is also very toxic

LTC, SOL, XMR, there's so many. If you want stablecoins you have usdc/usdt on ARB, TON, SOL.

Post is by: DankVoido and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pvk1r9/need_advice_on_ton_coin/ I recently sold one of my Telegram usernames through an auction. It sold for 400 TON and after Telegram’s fee I received 374 TON, which is now in my wallet. TON is a bit low right now. I don’t need this money urgently and I’m fine waiting. Should I cash out now or hold and wait for a better market? If I cash out, I’ll likely keep the money in an FD as an emergency fund. Since I didn’t invest any of my own money, I’m also thinking of holding TON long term. Does that make sense or is it better to secure the value now? I’m a final year college student in India with no regular income. Do I need to file income tax or declare this if I withdraw some amount? Any general advice would be appreciated. Just trying to make a sensible decision. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I have this app that, by investing a certain amount (in my case, €50), gives me a certain amount of power, and with this power, I have a mining speed with which I generate hashes that I can convert into USD. Once converted, I can withdraw in TON directly to my Telegram crypto wallet.

Doing public accounting at a B4 firm. Honestly didn’t learn that much from my degrees (accounting/finance double Major and Econ minor). But the first few years of auditing big public companies really taught me how to evaluate companies financials and read financial reports. That let me start doing a lot more research on my own and helped me a TON in my career. And also for spotting things that may shake up the current financial system or change the older way of doing things. Also networking in general with smart people. In my phone right now I have 5-6 CFOs I can call if I need help with something, a couple of accounting partners. Some friends that ended up going the IB -> PE route, people that went to go get high level MBA’s friends from college that did engineering. Talking with all of them and just seeing what people are looking into or excited about has given me more ROI than anything I’ve really ever learned at work.

Contract Address- PwrwgEozK7RJNba6uQY81eoTBEmFhr6HhZE6aKbpump Right now Memecoins live on X, coins are going zero and cults last one hour tops. But crypto started on Reddit. Bitcoin was posted all over here, early cults like SPX6900 were born here as well. So why don’t we bring that back? That’s why we are creating r/officialmemecommunity — to gather and believe ### Reddit and Cryptocurrency: A Symbiotic Relationship and the Case for Reddit's Own Crypto Reddit, the self-proclaimed "front page of the internet," has long been a breeding ground for niche communities, viral memes, and grassroots movements. Since its founding in 2005, it has amassed over 430 million monthly active users, fostering discussions on everything from politics to pop culture. Among its most vibrant ecosystems is the world of cryptocurrency, where subreddits like r/Bitcoin, r/CryptoCurrency, and r/WallStreetBets have not only shaped public discourse but also influenced market dynamics. This interplay between Reddit and crypto highlights a unique synergy: Reddit's decentralized, user-driven model mirrors the ethos of blockchain technology. Yet, despite this alignment, Reddit has only dipped its toes into native cryptocurrency integration. In this exploration, we'll delve into Reddit's historical ties to crypto, its past experiments, and why the platform truly deserves its own cryptocurrency to empower its users, enhance community governance, and thrive in the Web3 era. Reddit's relationship with cryptocurrency began organically, long before the platform considered issuing its own tokens. The site's structure—divided into subreddits where users vote content up or down—naturally lent itself to crypto enthusiasts seeking unfiltered, pseudonymous discussions. r/Bitcoin, created in 2010, became one of the earliest hubs for Bitcoin advocates, attracting developers, miners, and investors to debate the merits of decentralized money. Here, users shared technical insights, price predictions, and philosophical rants against traditional finance, echoing Bitcoin's core principles of resistance to inflation and central control. As Bitcoin gained traction, Reddit amplified its visibility; early adopters used the platform to organize meetups, share wallets, and even coordinate charitable drives, like the infamous 2013 "Bitcoin Black Friday" promotions. By the mid-2010s, Reddit's influence on crypto markets became undeniable. Subreddits evolved into powerful echo chambers capable of moving billions in value. Take r/WallStreetBets (WSB), launched in 2012, which started as a forum for irreverent stock trading advice but pivoted heavily into crypto during the 2017 bull run. WSB's "diamond hands" mentality—holding assets through volatility—spilled over into crypto, fueling pumps in altcoins like Dogecoin. In 2021, WSB's coordinated push on GameStop stock (GME) sent shockwaves through Wall Street, proving Reddit's ability to democratize finance. This "Reddit effect" extended to crypto: Dogecoin surged over 20,000% that year, partly due to memes and endorsements on the platform, including from figures like Elon Musk. Even today, in 2025, subreddits like r/CryptoMarkets buzz with predictions for the next cycle, with users debating whether Bitcoin will hit $200,000 or if altcoins like Solana will dominate DeFi. Reddit's formal foray into cryptocurrency came in 2020 with the launch of Community Points, an Ethereum-based token system designed to reward user engagement. Under this initiative, two subreddits—r/CryptoCurrency and r/FortNiteBR—piloted tokens called MOON and BRICK, respectively. Users earned points for posting, commenting, and upvoting quality content, which could be redeemed for badges, emojis, or premium features. Stored in personal Ethereum wallets (dubbed "Vaults"), these tokens gave users true ownership, as Reddit couldn't revoke them. This was groundbreaking: it transformed passive participation into a tokenized economy, where contributions had tangible value. Gamers on r/FortNiteBR created over 3,800 wallets, outpacing crypto enthusiasts, showing broad appeal beyond niche audiences. Reddit aimed to expand this to more communities, burning a portion of tokens upon redemption to create scarcity and potentially drive value. However, the program faced hurdles. In 2023, Reddit discontinued Community Points citing scalability issues and regulatory uncertainties, migrating remaining tokens to Arbitrum for community management. Despite this, the experiment proved viable: MOON tokens traded on exchanges, with holders using them for governance votes in r/CryptoCurrency. Reddit pivoted to NFTs with Collectible Avatars in 2022, minted on Polygon, which sold millions and integrated blockchain without the volatility of full tokens. By 2025, Reddit's crypto involvement has shifted toward marketing and partnerships. Brands leverage subreddits for Web3 promotions, with strategies focusing on authentic engagement to build trust in blockchain communities. Discussions on X (formerly Twitter) highlight Reddit's role in crypto hype, from meme coins to quantum computing threats to Bitcoin. This history underscores why Reddit deserves its own cryptocurrency. First, it would align with the platform's core values of community ownership and decentralization. Reddit is already pseudo-decentralized: moderators run subreddits autonomously, and users govern through upvotes. A native token, say REDDIT or RDDT, could formalize this via DAO-like structures. Token holders could vote on site-wide policies, moderator elections, or feature rollouts, reducing reliance on centralized admins. This mirrors successful crypto projects like Decentraland or Uniswap, where governance tokens empower users. In an era of Big Tech dominance, a Reddit crypto would democratize the platform, preventing top-down decisions like the 2023 API changes that sparked protests. Second, a cryptocurrency would monetize user-generated content fairly. Reddit thrives on free labor—users create billions of posts annually, driving ad revenue that topped $800 million in 2023. Yet, creators get little in return beyond karma points. Tokens could reward quality contributions, similar to how Steemit or Hive pay posters in crypto. Imagine earning RDDT for insightful analyses on r/CryptoCurrency, redeemable for premium access, NFTs, or even fiat via exchanges. This incentivizes better content, reducing spam and echo chambers. For crypto specifically, it could fund educational initiatives or bounties for bug reports, fostering innovation. As one Reddit user pondered in 2025, if you had $100 to invest in crypto, diversifying into community-backed tokens like a hypothetical Reddit coin could yield real utility. Third, economic incentives would boost engagement and retention. Crypto's gamification—airdropped rewards, staking yields—could combat Reddit's churn. Users might stake tokens for boosted visibility or exclusive subreddits, creating a flywheel effect. This is especially relevant in 2025, amid a maturing crypto market with ETF approvals and institutional adoption. Reddit's vast user base (over 2 million in crypto subs alone) positions it to onboard masses into Web3 seamlessly. Unlike Facebook's failed Libra or Telegram's TON (halted by regulators), Reddit's token could start small, focused on utility rather than global currency, avoiding SEC scrutiny. As legal expert Preston Byrne noted, such tokens resemble loyalty points, not securities, if restricted to platform use. Critics argue crypto introduces volatility and scams, potentially alienating casual users. Reddit's past API backlash shows resistance to monetization shifts. However, with proper safeguards—like audited smart contracts and anti-bot measures—the benefits outweigh risks. In 2025, as Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs and altcoins recover, Reddit's absence from native crypto feels like a missed opportunity. Moreover, a Reddit crypto could drive social impact. Tokens could fund charitable causes, as seen in past Bitcoin donations, or support underrepresented creators. In biology or physics subreddits, tokens might reward peer-reviewed contributions, blending education with economics. Economically, it could value "mindshare"—the narrative power of communities—as one user suggested. In conclusion, Reddit and crypto are intertwined fates. From amplifying Bitcoin's early days to influencing market manias, Reddit has been crypto's megaphone. Its experiments with Community Points showed promise, and in 2025's evolving landscape, reviving or expanding a native token makes sense. Reddit deserves a crypto because it would reward its lifeblood—users—while embodying decentralization. It could transform Reddit from a forum into a thriving Web3 economy, where every upvote counts in tokens. As crypto matures, platforms ignoring this risk obsolescence. Reddit, with its rebellious spirit, should lead the charge. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

On the crypto side, we now have DEXs like Jupiter starting to offer stock trading. The TON ecosystem seems to be expanding beyond pure crypto use cases. And on the centralized side, platforms like Bitget are repositioning themselves as more universal exchanges, talking about stocks, commodities, indices, even forex. That makes me wonder: Is this a signal that crypto alone is no longer enough? Or is it simply the market maturing and traders looking for more tools, more diversification, and more flexibility? I’m not saying crypto is “unsafe”, but it does feel like the lines between TradFi and crypto are blurring fast. As a trader, I’m trying to understand whether this is a necessary evolution or just platforms chasing volume. Curious to hear how others see it. Are you sticking to pure crypto, or slowly expanding into other markets? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Recently single after being in a relationship for 5 years. No kids. I'm not sure if cultures are that different but here in Scandinavia it's very normal to buy an apartment as fast as possible. I mean housing also has increased a TON especially in the city I'm moving to. I'll do my best to try to do "both", buying a place and holding as much BTC as possible. I want my own place because it feels like mine and I can do what I want with it. I also believe in BTC and I know it'll continue to rise - but have not done as much research as you have. I just have this feeling it'll drop more within the year and getting out with a profit "while I can" feels like a good move. But in 10 years I'll probably regret it. I'll run some more calculations and see what I can afford. Thank you

Kind of hilarious. Despite the pictures, the deposit is ore, not gold. Recovery is measured in grams of gold PER TON. So it might be $10B of gold in dem der hills. Maybe. But really, it's just mice nuts in the total gold market, and will have just about zero effect on the price of btc.

I hear you loud and clear—it's easy to stare at those bleeding charts and feel like the party's over, but zoom out, and the fundamentals are screaming "not even close." Crypto's always been a marathon of building through the noise, and these alts you're highlighting? They're not just surviving; they're laying tracks for the next leg up. Let's break it down quick, because yeah, the long game looks bullish as hell.Chainlink's basically the unsung hero gluing TradFi to blockchain. Their Sibos 2025 announcements with Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and a whole squad of 24 heavyweights on corporate actions processing? That's not hype—it's solving a $58B annual headache with oracles, AI, and onchain data flows. Banks aren't dipping toes anymore; they're diving in, and LINK's the bridge. Charts might dip, but partnerships like that don't vanish in a bear market.Cosmos? IBC's evolution is pure fire for interoperability without the middleman BS. That EVM connection via IBC isn't some half-baked hack—it's live and scaling, with Cosmos EVM now packing parallel execution, mempool-level IBC compatibility, and hooks into Ethereum L2s like Base. Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes this year showed XRP, TON, and even Telegram apps bridging over native IBC—millions of users unlocking multichain without centralized gatekeepers. If alts need a "real bridge," this is it. ATOM's primed for that coordination-layer glow-up.Ondo Finance is straight-up tokenizing the boring-but-bankable stuff TradFi hoards. Their $250M Catalyst fund with Pantera Capital, dropping into RWA infra? That's fuel for bonds, stocks, and real estate going onchain, with BlackRock's BUIDL already backing OUSG for instant settlements (they shifted $95M+ there earlier this year). Larry Fink's calling tokenization "the next step," and Ondo's riding that wave with daily-yield rOUSG tokens. RWAs aren't a fad; they're the on-ramp for institutions tired of T+2 delays.Solana's the revenue beast proving L1s can actually make money without choking on fees. Q1 2025 alone? $369.5M—163% YoY jump, smoking Ethereum's $220.8M. Full-year run-rate hit $2.85B through September, with Jito tips and memecoin launchpads (shoutout Pump.fun's $475M haul) driving 55%+ of it. ETFs launched in October pulled $380M inflows in weeks— that's institutional validation for a chain handling real activity without the gas wars. SOL's not just fast; it's profitable.And Sphinx Protocol? Underdog alert—this one's tailor-made for plebs craving commodity plays without the exchange overlords. Built on its own permissioned L1, it's slinging 24/7 perps, futures, and options on oil, gas, electricity with atomic settlement, cross-margining (freeing 99% capital via BTC/stablecoin pairs), and fees slashed 90%. No more T+2 lockups or counterparty roulette; it's onchain efficiency for energy derivatives that could hedge real-world volatility. If RWAs explode, Sphinx is the DeFi gateway for normies dipping into gas/oil without a broker.You're spot on: these aren't centralized vaporware—they're decentralized machines built to outlast the hype cycles, just like BTC did. Sentiment on X echoes it too—folks calling out the Dec 1 bloodbath as rebalancing noise, with alts eyeing recovery once BTC dom stalls and USDT dom rejects higher. Blink, and we're in perma-uptrend mode again. HODL the vision, my friend—2026's gonna reward the builders.

A poorly leveraged BTC ETF is all I really see. It trading above NAV is an anomaly. Not that it can't continue to trade above NAV but usually you would find things trading above NAV where the actual strategy had some level of difficulty in implementation or just getting the equity or assets as a retail trader is difficult or impossible. If the market decides not to pay a premium at some point (which is the reasonable position), it's only real value is whatever BTC it has. Your basically paying a premium per $ of BTC, and for your generosity get a TON of counter party risk. I don't understand the bet at all, as what advantage does he have by being a "bigger player", if anything he is now more vulnerable, and can't move or protect positions with any real level of agility. Any move he takes to protect his position will likely further hurt his position, as it makes the news etc. As a small player you can take on actual leverage, exit and enter positions with ease with no effect on the market. If bitcoin makes some massive move in overnight, you can just stop our or exit a position. It would take bitcoin going to ZERO for you to lose all your money. Basically I can't think of ANY reason someone would choose to buy some MSTR vs just buying some bitcoin.

More speculation than anything, but I think the US government is going to try to debase the dollar A TON to be able to pay off the 37 Trillion dollar debt. Harder assets like real estate, precious metals, and Bitcoin (assuming it continues to retain faith) should rise as the dollar falls.

If it’s flagged as “blacklisted,” it means that specific USDC contract address or tokens are frozen at the issuer level. No DEX swap will work because the tokens themselves can’t move. Liquidity isn’t the real issue here. Your only honest path is to contact Circle/USDC support and TON/bridge support to verify the status and whether a review or release is possible. If they confirm it’s frozen for compliance reasons, you likely can’t recover or move it. Avoid trying shady “unlock” services.

Post is by: Ok_Yogurtcloset8868 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/ICPTrader/comments/1oqn5bz/icp_this_could_be_it/ ICP has been the coin everyone forgot about after its messy launch, but 2025 is setting up to be different because the market is finally paying attention to the kind of stuff ICP was actually built for. A lot of newer narratives like fully onchain apps, AI agents that need constant low-cost calls, and cleaner cross-chain connectivity match ICP’s original design more than the casino meta of the last few years. ICP can talk to other chains in a more native way, it lets developers build apps that feel closer to the web, and it keeps costs predictable, which matters if onchain social or AI actually take off. On top of that the token has been sentiment-suppressed for years, so if people start to realise the tech never went away and the ecosystem is still shipping things, there is room for a re-rate in a market that has already re-rated Solana, TON and others. It still has to prove sustained user growth and token optics always matter, and if 2025 turns into pure memecoin gambling again then serious L1s will get ignored, but if this cycle rewards working infrastructure instead of empty hype then ICP is in a good spot. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

There certainly is a TON of hype. Any dying market screams louder at the end. Ironically it’s all the hype that is slowing down real adoption IMO. No one quite knows what to believe. But in among all that hype, real world things are changing. The political landscape, the regulatory environment, the understanding and adoption. It’s my opinion that the next five years will see serious adoption. But it’s just an opinion.

I would start from that you don't need to use BTC to send 5$ to a friend. This is not what is BTC for. BTC is more about investment, digital gold you know. For p2p transactions you could better use USDT. That been said, Wallet has non-custodial section called TON, so you can use it for your USDT if you really need that

really appreciate you sharing this, it takes guts to be this honest, and it'll definitely help others avoid the same trap. One thing that stood out to me is how important wallet security and recovery options are when you're starting out. A lot of newer traders don't realize that features like username-based transfers and solid backup systems can prevent a lot of the 'oh shit' moments tbh if you're looking to rebuild with a more secure foundation, wallet on telegram has both custodial options for peace of mind and non-custodial TON space.

Yes. Everyone should. It's not just a bunch of unreliable garbage, it makes 100% of people who don't understand the crypto world believe all of it is a scam. It's infuriating, since I spent a TON of time and money making system changes to allow ETH transactions instead of bank ACH, but the endless fucking meme coin shit made all my clients refuse to work with it.

There is a TON of alpha here. You just reverse everyone's plays and its like 80% win rate. Nobody should give that easy money up.

tldr; Blockchain technology is driving a new decentralized space race, enabling universal access and ownership in space exploration. Projects like SpaceCoin, Copernic Space, and TON are pioneering innovations such as blockchain-powered satellite networks, tokenized space assets, and decentralized astronaut selection. These initiatives aim to make space exploration more inclusive and transparent, leveraging blockchain for global connectivity and participation. Challenges remain, but the integration of blockchain with space signals a transformative shift in exploration and discovery. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

He already walked back that 100% China tariff like, a couple days after he announced it. This was intentional, but the big money isn’t going to shout themselves in the foot. The fact that it WAS manipulated by institutional billions is even more of a sign that every Bitcoiner should continue doing business as usual: buying to increase your stack, not selling ANY of it, and hanging on tight because it’s going blast off again before long! BTC is a no-lose proposition these days. Far too big to fail, and tons of runway left for us all to build our stacks fatter and fatter because there’s a still a TON of money to be made! Let’s fuckin’ GOOOOOO!!!!!!

Leverage adds a TON of risk though… curious if it was all spot how much you would have been up! It wouldn’t have been 2m up … but also no way to get liquidated either? These days people can get wrecked on both longs and shorts within moments! The chaos also scares out a lot of the spot holders in panic selling though - one of my friends was on the phone with me for 2 hours stressing about crypto and wanting to sell everything right at the bottom of the event 😬

JimSlimmy

This right here helped me a TON to cut on some losses/recover.

Hellstorage

I did the same thing, to be honest. I got into a bunch of altcoins about a year ago and ended up quitting most of them after making small profits like 5% during this recent run. I’m still holding FET and TON though, and I’m down around 75%, so yeah… be careful with altcoins. They can hit hard. Bitcoin usually recovers, and even top altcoins like ETH and SOL tend to bounce back eventually, but many others just die and get forgotten forever. It’s always smart to take partial profits or at least pull out your initial investment when they pump. With Bitcoin and top altcoins, holding long-term is usually a better idea especially with BTC.

copy_writer1

If it’s just a fun “moon bag” with $50, I’d look for projects that actually have traction, not just hype. A few worth watching right now: Solana meme ecosystem (like BONK, WIF, or POPCAT) — high risk, but insane community energy. Arbitrum / Base small caps — some early gems building there could explode next cycle. TON projects — Telegram integration is driving a lot of real user growth. Treat it like entertainment, not an investment — those $50 moon plays are lottery tickets. Keep your core stack (BTC, XRP) safe and let the moon bag be pure upside.

iamjide91

Going all in on ETH at the top may not be the best thing to do. You are better off sticking with TON, POL, AIOZ which have good ROI to their ATHs, not to talk of them making new highs in the future. Think long term.

Swiftvoyager1906

I think TON has potential as well and I'm watching it closely!

I mean, if you look at the liquidation heatmap for that day, there were a TON of red flags and shorting looked like a pretty good bet. Once price broke below support at 120K it was over: https://www.coinglass.com/pro/futures/LiquidationHeatMap?coin=BTC ...but to yolo THAT much into it? That took either insider info or a balls of steel.

shimanospd

it's risky but you can make a TON of money. can also lose a TON of money.

VaultsKeeper

Yeah, that security anxiety hits different! Telegram Wallet actually gives you options though - easy custodial mode where they handle everything, or TON Space if you want full control of your keys. If you're already holding Bitcoin and want that non-custodial vibe, TON Space is solid as long as you nail the basics (2FA, backup your seed phrase, etc.). Just pick whichever matches your comfort level tbh.

You’re missing a bunch of SOL DATs. FORD, DYDX, and the new Pantera one. Also worth looking at the TON one’s VERB and ATON.

tldr; Telegram CEO Pavel Durov revealed he was poisoned in spring 2018 during tensions with Russia over encryption keys and his TON crypto project, which raised $1.7 billion. Durov described collapsing after a neighbor left something at his door, leading to two weeks of immobility. The incident coincided with Russia banning Telegram and the Salisbury poisonings in the UK. Investigators have urged Durov to share details to identify the perpetrator, noting his movements between Dubai, the UK, and Russia during that period. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

He revealed his early investment in Bitcoin helped fund his lifestyle, as Telegram has been a money-losing operation for him personally. Durov emphasized Telegram's commitment to user privacy, stating the platform has never shared private messages with governments and would exit markets rather than compromise encryption.

Post is by: Comfortable_Bird974 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1nuywrb/sleeping_giant_time/ I’ve been researching and trying to find crypto’s with the best tokenomics for the longest time, and recently I found out about Chrono.Tech (TIME). This coin has only a 710,110 max supply and its market cap is only $7.61M, seems to me like TON of room to grow. Every time I’ve checked the 24 hour volume it’s been green and up quite a bit like always around the 10-30% range. The coin is a legit project and a legit company, not just a random meme coin. The coin is listed on coinbase too. The price right now is under $11, and it already hit over $400 before back in early 2022. The only things that scare me are the fact that it’s so small that maybe it already hit its peak back in 2022. Plus it’s been around since 2018 I believe, so maybe it’s just dying out and has ran its course. But the max supply is just so attractive plus its potential. A 50x from right now would be about a $375M market cap which is not some outlandish number. And the volume has been solid, sure maybe some are selling but I like to think the glass is half full.

Appreciate it! What do you think of TON in terms of longevity?

1Tim1_15

They're coming around. Good. It takes people different time periods to see what BTC really is. Of all of my friends, I don't know anyone who saw the light on the first day. I didn't - it took me a few months, but I got there. My take is that this is a subtle signal that Dave is slowly catching on. Even though Dave isn't there, there's no way these guys could have said that knowing Dave would find out. So that tells me he's warming up to it. He influences a TON of people so this is great news.

Vultisig

It is essentially a dynamic, chain-agnostic multisig application that makes managing cross-chain assets in a multisig setup much easier. Imagine you want a multisig for BTC, ETH, TRON, TON, SOL etc. You would need many different wallets and many different seed phrases/keys. That's why we are building this wallet.

Its blockchain is fast, transaction fees are extremely low, and the ecosystem of decentralized apps and stablecoins is widely used in Asia. But here’s the main question: Can TRX really take off in the near future? Arguments for: • Strong usage in USDT transfers. • Very low transaction fees. • Active community and ongoing development. Arguments against: • Heavy competition from Ethereum, Solana, TON, and other L1 chains. • Centralized role of Justin Sun — considered risky by some. • Lack of groundbreaking innovation recently. So what do you think — will TRX rise, or remain stagnant? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; Crypto treasury companies are increasingly engaging in share buyback programs, signaling a shift towards a 'credibility race' to attract investors. Companies like Thumzup and DeFi Development Corp have seen stock gains following expanded buybacks, while others like TON Strategy Company have not benefited. Analysts suggest buybacks indicate confidence and professional capital allocation, which investors reward. This trend reflects growing competition among crypto treasury firms to create appealing structures and highlights the broader movement of hyperbitcoinization and de-dollarization. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

True, but there is a big difference with AVAX and HBAR than there is with ADA and TON.

cedarrapidsiaus

Have always said (since 2018) its either hitting 1 million by 2040 range latest or 2030 range, or zero. The reason Bitcoin is such a no brainer as an investment and i begged my friends to buy it (I don't as much anymore now that it's 100k+ but did religiously when it was under $10k) is because just by using common sense, 20 years from now, it will either be worth nothing, or a SHIT TON more than it is today. It's simple supply and demand. Bitcoin's great design and current following has gone long past the speculation phase. It has the respected narrative of digital gold backed my the most secure, decentralized, and powerful digital program on the planet. They way things have gone for BTC over the past decade, its going to hit that 1 million mark in the next decade easy imo. For the first time I'm thinking 100 million ($1 per 1 sat is possible per coin within 50 years. Yeah, yeah obviously inflation will have had a drastic impact to go along with that. Perhaps a loaf of bread is $100 by then. Saylor came on NBC today talking about how he believes Bitcoin will be the new line/standard for credit as gold once was for 300 years. Digital gold (Bitcoin) will be the new standard and i totally agree with him on this. He mentions how he expects an eventual 10x market cap of gold for Bitcoin. That would put BTC well over 10m per coin. I could see that (100x from now) in 25 years or less for sure. What a great opportunity it is for people to stack SATS. Before long people will be referring to how many SATs you have, not BTC. A 1 million dollar price is a matter of when not if imo. It's 2 bull markets away i think. Cheers!

Wallet_TG

SDF can be tricky since it's not as widely supported. First, I'd check if you can import your Atomic wallet into something with better token support like MetaMask or Wallet TG's TON Space (which handles various networks). If the token isn't showing up in Atomic, you might need to manually add the contract address to make it visible. Once you can see your balance, you could try swapping it on a DEX like Uniswap or PancakeSwap depending on which network it's on. Just make sure you're on the right network and have some native tokens for gas fees. Start with a small test amount first to make sure everything works!

$TON

onehedgeman

TON needs to open its gates to crosschain properly on Tg else it will fade. They have THE platform and yet gatekeep it with yet another useless L2, instead of raking in fees from existing infrastructure

VaultsKeeper

For €100/month DCA with low fees and good security, you might want to check out Telegram Wallet - it's got really competitive rates for European users and the whole setup runs right in Telegram so super convenient for regular purchases. You can start with their custodial option for easy DCA, then transfer to the non-custodial TON Space for long-term storage, giving you both convenience and security control. The fees are typically much lower than traditional exchanges especially for smaller monthly amounts like €100.

VaultsKeeper

Totally get wanting to avoid the centralized exchange headaches. We've all seen those horror stories about frozen accounts. For cross-chain BTC swaps without KYC, you might want to check out the TON Space non-custodial option in Telegram Wallet, which supports cross-chain bridges and lets you keep full control of your keys. It's built right into Telegram so no separate app downloads, and you can connect to various DeFi protocols while maintaining the privacy you're looking for. The integration makes it surprisingly smooth for larger amounts like what you're working with.

Narrow_Chance7639

Yeah, gas fees are a nightmare for sure. It feels like every time you want to make a move, you're losing a chunk of your stack just to the network. I've definitely noticed the same trend you're talking about with people looking for alternatives to Ethereum. Chains like TON are becoming more popular because they solve that exact problem. It just makes more sense to operate on a network where you're not paying a huge premium for every transaction. Honestly, I tend to adjust my position size based on the gas fees at the moment. It doesn't make sense to throw a small amount into a farm if a good chunk gets eaten up by fees, so I'll wait until the network is less congested or go to a different chain. I'm curious, besides the fees, what's been your biggest frustration with yield farming?

Wallet_TG

Gas fees are definitely the biggest yield farming pain point. I've seen people lose 30 to 40% of small positions just to entry and exit. That's actually why we've been seeing more interest in TON based DeFi lately since transactions are like $0.01 instead of $20 to 50 on Ethereum. The liquidity mining on [STON.fi](http://STON.fi) and other TON protocols has been pretty solid without the gas fee nightmare. What size positions are you typically farming with?

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; TON Strategy, formerly Verb Technology, has initiated a $250 million share buyback program and is staking its $713 million Toncoin treasury on The Open Network (TON) to generate a 4.8% annual yield. Despite a 40.7% year-to-date drop in Toncoin's value and a 21.6% decline in the company's stock since revealing its Toncoin holdings, CEO Veronika Kapustina sees these moves as a way to enhance shareholder value and support the TON ecosystem. TON Strategy is the first public company to adopt Toncoin as a core asset. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Post is by: Adept-Bad-121 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ngxwxq/5_common_beginners_mistakes_in_defi_and_how/ DeFi looks exciting when you discover it. Everyone talks about APR, liquidity, yield farming and the rest. But for beginners, it can feel like walking into a new city without having a map. Many people, including myself at the start, made the same mistakes. Let’s expose some of the common mistakes beginners face and how platforms like STONfi, a leading DEX on the TON blockchain, help make the DeFi experience simpler and safer. 1. Jumping into liquidity pools without understanding A lot of beginners jump into pools just because they see a high APR. What they don’t know is that liquidity comes with something called impermanent loss. Prices shift and suddenly you have less value than expected. On STONfi, pool details are presented transparently. You can review token pairs, trading volumes, and expected rewards before going into a pool. STONfi also provides impermanent loss protection (ILP) for the STON/USDT V2 pool. This helps offset potential losses up to certain limits and gives beginners confidence when entering their first pool. NOTE: ILP currently applies only to the STON/USDT V2 pool. 2. Struggling with too many wallets and chains If you’ve ever tried using other chains you’ll know how it works: different wallets, different gas fees, sometimes even bridges to move funds. For beginners, this is quite stressful. TON simplifies this process. With STONfi, users can connect directly through their Telegram wallet. No confusing setup. This is a straightforward way to access DeFi. 3. Buying tokens with no real liquidity This is a familiar story. A new token trends, you buy in, but when it’s time to sell there’s no liquidity. You’re stuck holding the bag. STONfi reduces this risk in many ways. Transparent liquidity pools: every token on STONfi shows its pool size, daily volume and activity. This makes it easier to see if a token has real market depth. Omniston liquidity: STONfi is connected to Omniston, TON’s liquidity unification layer. This ensures deeper liquidity across pools and reduces the chance of getting trapped in a dead market. Trading happens natively in TON, so beginners are less likely to stumble into fake pools. 4. Treating DeFi like a one-step process Some newcomers just swap tokens and leave it there, not knowing DeFi is about stacking opportunities. Your assets should be working in more than one way. For example, when you provide liquidity on STONfi you get LP tokens. Instead of just letting them sit, you can take those LP tokens to EVAA, which is TON’s native lending layer, then borrow against them. You can also stake your LP tokens on STONfi in farming pools and unlock more rewards. 5. Overpaying on gas fees For beginners coming from other chains, high gas fees can make small trades unprofitable. Sometimes you even pay more in fees than you actually earn, which quickly discourages new users. STONfi on TON solves this with very low fees. Beginners can trade or provide liquidity without losing money to high gas fees. DeFi is not supposed to come with headaches. Slow down, learn step by step, and use platforms that are built with simplicity for beginners and pros. Start exploring DeFi the simple way. Try STONfi on TON today. Want more info?

No company can crack wallets, they are just gonna rip you off some how. If you could crack wallets we would hear about a TON of wallets being stolen, hacked, home invasions because something cold while it has that really cool 25th word key phrase which makes it look like you only have a fraction of what you really have which is pretty damn slick but I think the word is out about Lowe’s as well now.

TON wallet isn't recommended at all. I would personally avoid ANY wallet that's for multiple coins. >Can you get BTC with it? Never buy bitcoin within a wallet. They usually use third party exchange, charging way too high fees. Strike, River or swan are good choices to buy some also, have a look at these: [https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin](https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin) As for solid wallets, install (or buy - in case you're getting Bitcoin in Thousands of $) one or more of these wallets. A few good wallet choices: [https://blockstream.com/green/](https://blockstream.com/green/) \- Top Security Features, Open Source and Non-Custodial [https://bluewallet.io](https://bluewallet.io/) \- excellent, easy to use wallet, Open Source and Non-Custodial [https://www.sparrowwallet.com](https://www.sparrowwallet.com) - top desktop wallet [https://electrum.org](https://electrum.org/) \- Solid choice, Open Source and Non-Custodial, one of the oldest and most trusted Bitcoin Wallets. I prefer the desktop version but it works on mobile too. Lightning wallets to consider (cheaper and faster transactions, great for small amounts): [https://phoenix.acinq.co/](https://phoenix.acinq.co/) \- Phoenix - very good wallet, uses Tor for extra privacy, easy for anyone new [https://blixtwallet.github.io/](https://blixtwallet.github.io/) \- Blixt - great UI, fast and clean [https://zeusln.com/](https://zeusln.com/) Zeus - impressive wallet with many features, can even generate Nostr keys [https://breez.technology](https://breez.technology/) \- Breez - excellent POS for small business owners as well as integrated Bitrefill Note: Breez does also a hybrid liquid/LN wallet called Misty Breez - the sats being on liquid means no need for channels although the payments take a few extra seconds. You'll also can get a free customable LN address. While talking about hybrid wallets, there's also Aqua Wallet although not IMHO as good as Misty Breez. There are also custodial LN wallet but I would honestly avoid using them because you have to trust the wallet operator not to steal your money. Their only advantage is that they are incredibly easy to use, although it might cost you big one day. Hardware Wallets (to store larger amounts): [Trezor](https://trezor.io/) \- Easy to use, no matter how new in Bitcoin you're. Use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software. [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/) - air gapped, Bitcoin only, has advanced features but a new user will do fine with one of the great tutorials available. [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor) [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better, although a bit more expensive, option. You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous. [Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later. [Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin. There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, etc. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon. Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it. Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin. This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe. Welcome to the rabbit hole and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions anytime during your Bitcoin journey. Also, [check the sidebar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about) that's filled with lots of great info and if you have any questions, visit r/BitcoinBeginners or r/Bitcoin and look for the answers.

Utility coins are network Blockchain tokens. For instance BTC ETH SOL TRX SUI AVAX TON for example. They have utility because all of the coins mentioned here in the comments run on the networks I listed and require owning them to pay for network gas fees. Think of them as the picks and shovels of crypto. Coins like LINK and the other ones mentioned in the comments are the Gems of crypto. The utility tokens are safer and have a higher market cap and more liquidity. The coins that run on these networks are higher out on the risk curve but give greater reward.

What if it's the opposite? Your answer could be in the textbooks; buy when the market is selling, then sell when the market is going up. If you didn't buy months back, why buy now? Except you have the balls to HODL long-term. But you can also be buying undervalued but valuable projects - AIOZ, TON, METIS, & POL fall in this category for me. However, again, ready to HODL for long term.

Not untrue lol. If you look at the validator chart for the last few years, a metric TON of Eth basically went to sleep back in 2022-2023. Awakening to a 3-5x isn't too bad a prospect when you've also been getting extra staking-rewards this whole time.
