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.

Post is by: drsmart04 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1n0nep3/anyone_else_watching_stonfi_on_ton/ Lately, I’ve been exploring the TON ecosystem and came across STON.fi. At first, I thought it was just another DeFi project, but the more I looked into it, the more it started to make sense. Here’s what stood out to me: ⚡ Fast & cheap – swaps happen in seconds with super low fees. 📲 Tied to Telegram’s world – which is huge for adoption. 🎯 Simple UI – not overwhelming, actually beginner-friendly. 💧 You can swap, provide liquidity, and stake without too much hassle. To me, it kinda feels like the “Uniswap of TON”, and with how fast TON is growing, I feel like this could get interesting. So I’m curious—has anyone here actually used STON.fi yet? How was it? Smooth? Any issues? Would love to hear your thoughts before I dive deeper 🙌 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I think the tether FUD is probably minimal at this point. They make a TON of money, buy US treasuries and bitcoin, and haven’t collapsed yet and it’s been almost a decade. I think tether is gonna be around for a while

I’d put it in TON personally but that’s just me

CaptainHodler

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.

iamjide91

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.

VariatCA

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.

Starknet, it’s the only network that supports biometric wallets through account abstraction using Face ID / Touch ID (see Braavos and ready wallet apps). Is built using zk proofs that will win/is currently winning the L2 space for scaling ethereum. Token prices are a reflection of the communities airdrop disappointment, it favored developers over users so a lot of retail pulled back out of spite, regardless of opinion on community/token, it has the superior tech/infra (Cairo coding language). Side note, the TON network uses some pretty complicated smart contracts. I’m a contract developer and worked with ton briefly, it’s advanced contract development for sure

Kinda crazy how TON actually is a successful social media Crypto. We need a lot more ofnthese social media Cryptos and our MOON should be right up there...

As others have stated already, if you do decide to pay to have it fixed, I would definitely find a reputable repair/recovery service and request to be present. Especially with Bitcoin being written on it, there would be a TON of temptation for someone to just rip you off, honestly. Unfortunately, when it comes to any substantial amount of money these days, people cannot be trusted.

FnkyJnk

I had a coworker sitting on a TON of cash in 2020 and I was trying to convince just to buy one Bitcoin. They had no interest. I went back to that place of work years later and they were like "Hey! I just heard about Bitcoin on the radio. I thought you were crazy talking that whole time." .\_. They had ever opportunity to buy BTC and didn't seize the moment.

EducationalGreen7700

In my experience, picking altcoins without prior knowledge is harder than gambling. Ethos is the only one that made me good money back in the early-ish days. The others I backed flopped. Stick to reputed coins you understand. Eth, BTC. I'm thinking of making moves on TON and LTC as well. All well established and impressive projects.

EducationalGreen7700

TON and TAC. I think they're really promising long term projects. A lot of people pulled out due to whale holders, but those whale holders have put their tokens in cold storage. TON is undervalued. Staking USDT is a safe, low risk bet if you get the right rate. BTC is the best bet though. The OG ain't giving up any time soon.

I've been subscribed to InvestAnswers Patreon since it launched 4 years ago. They post every trade with full transparency. And post news and analysis several times a day. Not just crypto, but stocks, derivatives, options, and serious data and macro analysis. I've learned a TON. And while I don't mirror every trade, the ones I have followed have made a killing. I don't shill anything, but you asked a direct question and I'm giving you a direct answer. Joining that Patron was one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. I've learned a lot and made huge gains. I hit my retirement goals years ahead of schedule.

I remember once ripple got manipulated ever since I’m not involved I’m only in BTC ETH TON

radiocrime

Blackrock doesn’t “own” the supply, they are holding it on behalf of investors. Those 650-700k bitcoins aren’t theirs. It’s an important distinction to make so I thought I’d point it out… Strategy (MSTR) in the other hand, owns their Bitcoin outright in their balance sheet. Even theirs is still only 2.5% of the total Bitcoin. I think we are absolutely still early and there’s a TON of room got growth in the coming years. This train party is just getting started! Stack as much and as fast as possible because we won’t be early forever…

The fees are so low in TON, and you can send USDT to any Telegram contact with no fees.

tldr; Telegram has launched its built-in TON Wallet for its 87 million U.S. users, enabling them to send, receive, and manage cryptocurrency directly within the app. The self-custodial wallet supports stablecoin transfers, token swaps, staking, and zero-fee crypto purchases via MoonPay. The U.S. rollout follows regulatory delays, with the wallet already activated by over 100 million users globally in 2024. Telegram aims to simplify crypto use and expand its ecosystem, potentially competing with platforms like Cash App and Coinbase. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

While kind agree that bitcoin will outperform most of the altcoins, I will wait for another few months since we just started a altseason where the last 15 days altcoins are outperforming bitcoin. In my opinion it is likely to last a little bit longer (there were not extreme greed yet), then I will sell my bags which are not terrible because DCA with Twinvest (I am down 40% in POL, MATIC, TON y 30% in AVAX)

SupermarketWeak9715

Tried changing my TON to another currency via them and they've lost transfer even though I've followed all the instructions and can see that the money reached their wallet. AVOID THESE GUYS

sc0ut84

Great breakdown on density and how large orders can shape short-term movements. That $700K TON buy is a textbook signal worth tracking—especially when tied to consistent reaction patterns. Personally, I’ve been using a tool called Apescreener that monitors wallet activity and ties it to market impact, helping spot these kinds of plays early. It’s not just about seeing the orders but understanding who's behind them and how they usually behave. Once you start mapping that behavior across assets, it becomes a lot easier to anticipate similar setups. Tools like that make interpreting density less guesswork, more precision.

mrjune2040

'FUD' is just crypto bro speak for critical feedback. Whatever you do in life you should welcome critical responses from others. You may not agree with them but it's likely that they have a few valid points—there IS a TON of downside risk in crypto, and it's healthy to acknowledge that. Not every token has a bright future, most won't even exist a decade from now. Even some of the largest cap tokens have been on a long-term down-trend against both BTC and USD for most of the past decade (cough LTC, BCH).

mrestiaux

I left out a huge factor. I betrayed her trust a TON over the last 4 years because 3 years ago I suffered a PTSD injury after working 10 years full time as a Paramedic. After going off, I hated EVERYTHING and everyone, and did everything in my power to not work again. I tried every get rich quick scheme possible, gambled, played options, did all of this behind her back and wasted a TON of money without telling her. This really fucked me up, and our relationship. This all happened while we were raising our brand new kids. That’s a huge reason for all of this. I’ve since healed and am back to full time as a Paramedic, but the respect is still lacking yes.

cryptolipto

I’m gonna talk shit about ripple for a second since they’re obviously setting themselves up as a competitor to chainlink but have no competing product to speak of, which is what makes this all so silly So Swift is going to choose Chainlink CCIP for their tradfi to defi linkage. The trials have been going on for years. 2025 is the year it finally goes live. Very exciting Ripple knows this. Initially they wove the narrative that they would be the interbank solution. It’s clear that’s not happening now So now they’ve changed the narrative to XRP being “the replacement for swift”. They say they can capture 14% of all swift transactions. Why don’t they try starting with 14% of blockchain transactions lol. No one even uses their ghost chain So anyways, they have a conference date at the same place and time as a Swift sponsored conference to lend credence to the narrative that XRP is competing with Swift Yet they basically folded on their blockchain. They made an EVM chain 4 years after everyone else. They made a stablecoin 4 years too late. They’re using wormhole for interoperability instead of creating their own interoperability solution…. What Ripple has going for them is a TON of money from people that buy into the bank narrative, not knowing that ripple has already lost this battle This will all become clear towards November. And that’s why I can’t wait for Smartcon Game fucking on.

tldr; The TON Foundation's initiative to offer a 10-year Golden Visa to Toncoin investors in the UAE was rejected by Emirati authorities, who clarified that crypto investments do not qualify for such visas. The program, which required a $100,000 Toncoin investment and $35,000 in fees, lacked official government approval. This highlights the tension between crypto innovation and regulatory frameworks, as the UAE maintains strict criteria for Golden Visas, excluding cryptocurrencies for now. Refunds for rejected applications were promised by the project's partner, Peravel agency. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; The TON Foundation clarified that its initiative to offer UAE Golden Visas through staking $100,000 in TON tokens is not officially endorsed or authorized by the UAE government. While the program is an exploratory effort with a licensed blockchain partner, it remains in development and lacks government approval. The UAE regulators emphasized the importance of compliance and transparency.

The fees are related more to the blockchain, not the token. The token can have a small effect if the code is inefficient but it’s mostly determined by the chain. Think USDT on TON is free. Or was last I used it

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The Open Network (TON) has introduced a program offering UAE 10-year Golden Visas to individuals who stake $100,000 worth of Toncoin for three years and pay a $35,000 processing fee. Applicants retain control of their assets via a decentralized smart contract and can earn annual yields of 3%-4%. The visa covers immediate family members at no extra cost beyond standard fees. This initiative provides a lower entry point compared to traditional routes and aligns with the UAE's push to attract blockchain and crypto projects. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The Federal Reserve is not a person. Jerome Powell is, and that much money is a FUCK TON to him.

Texas has a SHIT TON of stranded power production due to the wind and solar put in place. During periods of peak production, there’s too much power going onto the grid. in order to stabilize, they end up having to curtail a lot of wind production (ie turn it off for simplicity). This is a big issue with “green” energy production where a majority of the excess peak production has no demand to meet, it’s called the duck curve. Anyways, instead of curtailment, bitcoin miners can step in and use the entire plants production, providing more revenue per day to these producers vs general public usage. Yeah it’s hot, but nothing more cheap power can’t solve.

SpontaneousDream

Because it's a completely useless, overvalued VC shitcoin? It accrues no value. No burns, no buybacks, nothing. $LINK cult members will claim some nonsense about "something something all fees paid in $LINK!!"...yea yea that's great and all but no project in their right mind is going to hold $LINK long term, which just results in them immediately dumping $LINK for USDC, BTC, ETH, etc. And let's not forget that Chainlink's service is literally just an oracle...which doesn't need a token, and even if it did, why didn't they use ETH? (hint: they want your $$). There are numerous projects out there that build oracles without the attached VC-shitcoin. There's also a TON of sell pressure from the team, seed investors, devs, etc. to "fund expenses". AKA, fund Sergey's expensive suits and watches. No joke- this dude went from wearing ugly ass plaid shirts to tailor made suits. He's now worth hundreds of millions. I gotta give it to him though, he pulled off a nice grift. Very similar character to a Daniel Larimer, Charles Hoskinson, etc. All talk, always shilling, always talking about "the future". These guys made their money at the expense of clueless bagholders like u/JustStoppingBy I wish I was making this all up, but you can check yourself on the tokenomics and quarterly sell pressure. Idk why anyone in their right mind would hold this shitcoin. More facts: * $LINK is -75% from USD ATH from 4+ years ago * $LINK is -90% from BTC ATH from 4+ years ago * $LINK is -88% from ETH ATH from 4+ years ago Just like with $ETH, no amount of good news matters when your token doesn't directly accrue value. And none of these altcoins have the monetary premium that the market puts on BTC.

DON'T BUY EITHER I am experienced with physical precious metals, and specifically those with numismatic value besides. Many ancient silver It's really hard to find a reputable buyer, you are never going to get more than - 10% spot even on decent coins (unless highly collectible). Don't get me wrong, I have learned a LOT about history by collecting ancient coins and made a lot more than most bitcoin short term trades, but buying bars is a losing strategy. Honestly have 5X profits on ammo vs precious metals in a 10 year time frame. All this bitcoin obsession is a given because of the reddit we are on, but having a piece of property, a proper collection of self defense tools/ammo, even things like a ghillie suit, a generator that is able to work on multiple fuel sources, learning to use a recurve or learning to be proficient with a longbow and recurve and making my own arrows were higher on my list of priorities than stocks and bitcoin. Because now I have no doubts about feeding my family and protecting my family and close tribe, and learning to identify local mushrooms and edibles where you are costs nothing at and is fu nnnnnnnnnnnn. Money is nothing if you can't survive a month with no power at the atm or computer. Let's assume society is just fine, it's still going to be a TON OF FUN to learn self reliance and you will learn to do without a lot of stuff which will allow more stacking when the bear market strolls down the road in 14-16 months.

tldr; Telegram is emerging as a major Web3 gaming platform, leveraging its TON-integrated wallet to enable seamless crypto transactions for nearly 1 billion users. Telegram Collectibles, which function as NFTs, are transforming user acquisition by replacing traditional ads with gameplay-driven referral loops and monetization within the chat interface. Game studios like GOAT Gaming are using these mechanics to drive viral campaigns and player engagement.

naumen_

It is though. 1€ was $1,07 a year ago. 1€ now is $1,15. And € still depreciated in this time. So, $ dropped a TON. in euro, BTC was nowhere near ATH this past month.

klas228

Seriously? TON, it has Telegram with a billion monthly users which wants to make all crypto as accessible as possible by integrating it into your messaging app.

jawni

You mean like Hyperliquid or Solana? There is a reason they are both so highly valued(and widely used), and it's likely because those are the two closest things to what you described. They're the only 2 coins in the top 20 besides TON, who haven't been around prior to last cycle.

theycallmematsu

Well, the thing is I don't want to buy in when I feel like there is a market trajectory that's gonna -30% my holdings. Maybe I am overcomplicating it, maybe I just wanna make sure I'm making the right decision at the right time. But in general, I'd agree with you. Just put it in and let it sit. Thing is I'm also looking at a few altcoins (TON, TAO, RENDER, XRP, KAS, and some others) in order to diversify - but not looking to invest in something that won't exist in 10-20 years.

theycallmematsu

Well now, that's just not true. BTC might be the better "asset" but there are some technologies using blockchain in a valuable way. The problem is that few people care about what's written in the whitepaper, who the team behind it is, what the "5-year plan" is etc. Take KAS: not saying it will amount to anything, but as an L1 alt. it certainly has some interesting proposals using blockDAG (which btw is a name being used by BlockDAG (BDAG) to scam people out of millions...). Same with TON. Maybe L1 alts are different, but some have the potential to become useable currency in future markets. So in a sense, yeah: it's all "gambling" if you have to take risks on something you don't know the future outcome of. But same holds for AMZN or MSFT back in the days - no one thought the internet/www would actually take off.

theycallmematsu

If you invest in a meme put it into DOGE. But currently volumes are done - AI is all the hype. BTC ETH SOL form your core. The rest you can put into coins you "trust": read up on the tech behind it and see if you believe if it'll be relevant in the future. TON is wild imo - Telegram showed huge success and it being associated with the platform hints at a good foundation - and it's one of the only performers during this market downturn. Do Your Own Research and all. Don't fall for pre-sales. If nothing else - BTC ETH are solid, like Gold and Silver. SOL is "newer" but builds a good foundation for the rest of the architecture. ADA is interesting but right now it's difficult to anticipate any growth.

biggest_guru_in_town

Some of these are good but fuck ADA and TON with a thousand dildos. I always get massive unrealized loss that the bots struggle to come out when I use those coins in spot and futures trading. Their price volatility is weak af for arbitrages(grid profit)

If you’ve already got skin in the game, sometimes the smartest move is to let it ride and let it grow. Bitcoin’s long-term track record speaks for itself. Look into free airdrops on the TON network. It’s buzzing. Projects like Paws, Memefi, Boinkers, and even Switch are giving solid rewards without needing major capital. Play smart, stack sats and farm where it costs nothing but time.

seraph321

Most don't seem to understand what a pandora's box it might represent. They're desperate to see property investors (who honestly DO get a TON of tax breaks in Australia) punished and taken down a few pegs. Specifically, this issue is mostly about people who have 'abused' the self-managed super annuation fund rules (the equivalent of an IRA) to load up on investment properties while avoiding tax on them. The problem, of course, is obvious when it comes to how brutal the second and third order consequences could be, and how this could easily negatively impact the average joe eventually, but most seem oblivious to that. It's all just "OH, you have $3m in your super?! Poor you!", with no vision for how this is a slippery slope.

Gollums_Ring

I know no one can predict inflation but these numbers really should be adjusted for inflation. They should be in "today's dollars". Like who cares if BTC is $1 trillion vs $1 million if they both buy the same amount of eggs in the future. When I calculate my returns for my stock portfolio, I use 7% S&P to get my future amount. This is my "today's dollars". I don't do 10% (which includes inflation) cause its meaningless and my brain can't understand the difference. People can say we are gonna print a TON of money and it'll be like Germany post WWII but that doesn't help understand the REAL worth of BTC. I propose a Sat/Egg and a $/Egg comparison for 2045.

Alot of the alts have a ton of dilution. Look at cardabo for example. In Sep 2021 it's ATH was 3.1 cents with a circulating supply of 32.07Billion ADA, with a marketcap of 99 billion Today the circulating 36 billion tokens. To achieve 3.1 you would need a marketcap of 111.6 billion. While it's not a massive increase, some other altcoins have a TON of dilution like CAKE etc, so it's tough

Let me interpret findings for you all, regardless of sampling issues: A SHIT TON OF AMERICANS ARE FAR TOO IMPRESSIONABLE

Due-Candy-8929

A Bridge country is still useful outside of the US - some think XRP would be used everywhere but when currency isn't changing there is no point changing to XRP - seems strange to say ‘using holders money’ with no return - when XRP is up significantly, far outperforming other returns - almost any holder over the last few years is way up, If 3K XRP is Burnt when the burn rate is 0.00001 XRP… that means 300,000,000 XRP moving a day? 🤔 Whale wise I think analysts like : https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1892168895324180738 would be a better place to start - I think they used Santiment data A stable coin launched on ETH is good for XRP holders because it’s closely tied to Ripple and XRP - you know Ripple was previously purchasing a TON of Tether and Circle to be able to work in the US? They could use XRP outside and Stablcoins inside - now they benefit from the stable coins over other companies The last year is 100% relevant … it’s not like im picking obscure dates that aren’t relevant to our time… you just discrediting the last year makes it seem like you are happy to discredit any information that doesn’t fit your narrative / echo chamber - there is a ton of XRP hopium that I don’t buy into, and I diversify my holdings - you seem very set in your biases though and unable to admit there are often positives and negatives and a whole spectrum in between.

The difference is that there are many smart contract chains. ETH has major competition. There is only one Bitcoin. It's in a league of its own. I give Ethereum a TON of credit. They've advanced the space so much, and Ethereum is actually super useful. **That being said,** ETH the asset is a horrible investment. It's literally a gas token. You can have a wildly successful Ethereum network (as we are seeing now) and a low ETH price. ETH price does not need to be high at all in order for the network to succeed, but for some reason, ETH maxis believe that success of the network= price go up. That couldn't be further from the truth, and the ETH/BTC chart really shows that.

I thought Arbitrum has a trustless Bitcoin Bridge, called BitcoinOS, same one that works on Cardano too. So Arb gets it first. I'm 100% sure Zeta chain has a trustless Bitcoin Bridge TON has a trustless Bitcoin Bridge in the works, called teleport BTC etc. etc.

I’ve been following the HBAR and KASPA buzz lately—both got strong communities backing them. But personally, I’d stick with KASPA; feels bigger with real utility under the hood. If you’re planning to ride with projects that got high potential, always go for those with solid use cases. LINK is killing it on the oracle front, EOS is quietly cooking Web3 banking through Vaulta—which is a big play for the future. SUI’s got that MOVE VM edge, and TON might just pop off if Web3 gaming hits that next wave. So yeah, pick wisely and don’t fade the builders.

Ok-Western-5799

FLOW, XCN, Storj, and Pepe would undoubtedly leave my portfolio, and I might just replace with EOS, TON, RIO. Staying off memes at the moment, may pick one or two if there's another bull market, hopefuly. Chainlink along XRP, FET, ETH, and SUI would be staying. I only stick with projects with top utility.

tldr; Despite years of projects claiming to be 'Ethereum Killers,' no blockchain has successfully overtaken Ethereum, even during its perceived weak moments. Billions in venture capital have been invested in Ethereum-based projects, yet alternatives like Avalanche and TON have failed to capitalize on Ethereum's challenges. Ethereum's resilience signals its dominance in the crypto ecosystem, with no viable competitors emerging to replace it. This situation may lead to renewed investor confidence in Ethereum's future. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

WellPayed

That's TRX not TON

LavishSuburxa

TON’s tech and Telegram integration are impressive, but centralization concerns are real—creator-controlled supply can impact price stability and long-term trust. Still, worth watching for adoption trends.

HSuke

TON is actually super popular, just not in this sub and not in the US. I have no idea why this sub just prefers centralized networks like XRPL that use permissioned FBA consensus protocol more than TON which uses a decentralized PoS protocol.

Full_Border3145

I feel you. This is my second bull run. I did a TON of research this time. Ultimately made the biggest bet of my life with my collective principal amount. I am now down 50%. Half a year of just endless work and following the market and moving shit around to mitigate loss. All for nothing so far. I’m so exhausted. Even if I come out ahead, it wasn’t worth it. I want my quality of life back.

LankyVeterinarian677

If you’ve stacked $500K and are looking for something fun and engaging, why not dive into Boinkers? A full-on degen experience on TON that’s turning players into strategists. Switch and Paws are good option too

Mattie_Kadlec

FWIW it is nothing like Luna. You can mint the stablecoin using assets like ETH, TON, Polygon and many others as collateral, instead of using a crypto issued by Falcon. It is more similar to AAVE or some other lending protocol tbh

TON = Telegram Lower goal: TON is not a real crypto, but rather a tool for app monetization. Not like it wouldn't be possible to do all that without blockchain, but like, since it's somewhat trendy, why not. If you're from a Western country, you'll have have to believe me how big Telegram is in some of Eastern countries. I know it's just a crypto spam and drug dealing messenger to you, but here it's way way more. Higher goal: TON is still not a real crypto, but all of the above + bridging some of the more popular crypto projects to a wider audience + some kind of payment processing for developing markets. As of right now, Telegram is perhaps the only thing out there that brings crypto to a wider user base, who'd normally didn't give a damn. They built in a wallet into Telegram. It's very lowkey atm, kind of feels like they're live testing different approaches and trying to not scare users away with it. An example from my life: A friend of mine is in Russia, they can't top up Steam without different workarounds. Usually it's a wack third-party service that takes a hefty commission. I showed him a Telegram bot where he can top up his Steam with just a few clicks using UST on his TON wallet in Telegram. A person who didn't give a damn about crypto yesterday is using it now. Actually using it, not like people who buy Bitcoins and wait till the price goes up, no, uses it as a currency to pay for a service. A dude who didn't care at all before.

GiantOneEyedDwarf

What's the ELI5 for TON? I watched the video but not sure what blockchain for blockchains will do for most people. And I feel like I've heard that before.

alexzim

An unpopular opinion perhaps, but I have high hopes for TON long-term. Like, 4-10 years. I completely understand how and why it may look like a scammy thing for a western consumer, that's fair. And I doubt it'll be useful to western audience despite it's possible future success. But I can see it becoming a big thing in developing countries.

jenya_

> some guy Yes, some guy, who just happened to be a founder of Telegram and TON.

RefrigeratorLow1259

So TON surges just because some guy has been released from prison!?

NomadLife92

I would have to say Chainlink and Mantra. And maybe TON.

tldr; Toncoin (TON) surged over 18% to $3.48 after Telegram founder Pavel Durov received permission to leave France, where he had been under judicial scrutiny. Durov, accused of complicity in criminal activities linked to Telegram, had his passport returned and was allowed to exit France for several weeks. The TON Foundation celebrated the news, which boosted Toncoin's trading volume by 216% to over $514 million. Despite the rise, Durov is expected to return to France, potentially causing further market volatility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

bitcoin since you dont want butcoin put order ETH 1700 ✌️ i mean buying anything right now is low price. but i am tired of shitcoin so i stay with what ever have some utility. AVAX HBAR ALGO TON if i have to choose HBAR ETH AVAX

Medium_Change4574

Surely many have asked before but what the hell is PI and IP? Shit spawned like TON and NOT back then

Delicious_Ease2595

USDT in TON between Telegram users have zero fees.

PoisonGlen

In my experience, stablecoins on Solana and TON have the lowest fees. But still, you have to pay something for a transaction as this is part of a decentralized deal.

rmanisbored

Ok see for example, Polygon has Polymarket. It's essentially a betting website for cultural/political/entertainment and sports events and has been incredibly gaining popularity since the last year. I don't even use it that much but the point is it creates utility for it. or TON which is essentially being integrated into Telegram, a social media with over a billion users which creates infinite possibilities of how to leverage the chain. Needless to say, ETH and its L2s have thousands of apps for DEX, NFT Marketplaces, Lending/Borrowing I've been also using NEAR for the good staking % and a project called HOT wallet which can be used to bridge many different blockchains easily. The thing with Cardano is, it seems like I always hear about the "tech" or its github commits or some shit which is cool but who cares if it's not being used?

so_like_huh

Yeah I figured that was gonna get a TON of people just from common sense

whitefoot

A TON of people were in the market because they thought the government would start buying up crypto. Now that that hope is dashed, they are getting out.

tldr; PAWS, a popular Telegram Mini App with 80 million users, has migrated to Solana after Telegram mandated Mini Apps to operate exclusively on the TON blockchain. The move boosted Solana's ecosystem, with over 9 million Phantom wallets downloaded and 1 million new Solana addresses created. PAWS also saw significant NFT activity on Magic Eden. The project aims to evolve into a Web3 brand with DeFi integrations, gaming partnerships, and multichain expansion, setting a precedent for transitioning from closed platforms to decentralized networks. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

There are a TON of XRP ETF applications at the moment - not up to date with ADA news but I know there are SOL ETF applications in the works as well

likely safe: BTC, XMR mid risk: ETH, XRP, TRX, DOT high risk: TON, any memecoin and others

tallboybrews

It isn't "religion" but it also isnt just math. The only way Bitcoin gets as big as it has gotten in because people believe it to have value. It has no intrinsic value. That's not to say that it doesn't have use. It is immensely useful technology. It just doesn't get to the mcap it is at unless a TON of people want in on it.

tldr; Telegram’s decision to prioritize The Open Network (TON) as its sole blockchain for Web3 services was the right move, according to TON Foundation President Steve Yun. Yun emphasized that this choice was necessary due to TON’s ability to handle Telegram’s massive user base of 950 million. TON uses sharding, allowing it to efficiently manage large-scale transactions, offering faster speeds and lower fees. Despite mixed reactions, this move positions TON as a major player in the Web3 ecosystem, potentially accelerating crypto adoption among Telegram users. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

IAmSomewhatDamaged

Probably just HODL until sometime around retirement, honestly. It’s not like a have a TON (like 1/3 of a coin), but I have like a $33k average price, which is nice. Honestly, I am still unsure what my strategy is going to be for this cycle. It’s only my 2nd cycle, and this is the first time I’ve been pretty well into the green on just about everything I own (BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, XRP, HBAR, XLM, ALGO, and a few others). I’ll probably end up dumping most of my altcoins (if I get a good opportunity this cycle), but I’ll probably still hodl the majority of my BTC and at least half of my ETH for the long haul… I’m not totally sure though 🤷‍♂️

A TON? So just $3,46? /s
