TON

VaultsKeeper

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.

Hey...just wanted to say thanks for your content. I watch a TON of bitcoin content, and I can always count on yours to be a little bit different from the rest with quality questions and depth to it. So again...thank you. \- a fellow INTJ

The bubble graph shared by Leon is AI generated, so I checked the data. The actual values reported by a16Z are different. You can see the original values in this image taken from the report linked by OP above: [https://d2hguprl3w2sje.cloudfront.net/uploads/2025/10/Untitled-3-scaled.jpg](https://d2hguprl3w2sje.cloudfront.net/uploads/2025/10/Untitled-3-scaled.jpg) I eye-balled the values, since they were not labeled. Top blockchains by builder interest: 1. Ethereum - 23.5% 2. Base - 17% 3. Solana - 16.5% 4. Bitcoin - 4.9% 5. Polygon - 4.9% 6. Arbitrum - 4.5% 7. Optimism - 2.5% 8. Hyperliquid - 2.5% 9. Avalanche - 2% 10. TON - 2% Important to note that this is only builder's interest. Actual development is still mostly Ethereum, followed by Solana, Bitcoin & Base.

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.

TeddyTheCognihacker

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.

tldr; Telegram founder Pavel Durov predicts Bitcoin will eventually reach $1 million per coin, citing its predictable inflation and resistance to censorship. 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. Telegram has become profitable through subscriptions and blockchain innovations like TON. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

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. Let me know your thoughts! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

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.

Post is by: FicoWasHere and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1nt8w7h/do_you_think_trx_can_actually_rise_soon/ TRX is one of the oldest projects in the crypto world. 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.

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

Ada 5-10x this cycle chainlink 2-4x this cycle ETH 1x this cycle grab some TON and ENA too

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

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.

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…

Delicious_Ease2595

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.

Probably put it on TON,FET after all its a 100$ i don't mind risking that much for little profits

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. TON's quick clarification highlights the need for careful alignment with legal frameworks in Web3 innovations, especially in sensitive areas like immigration. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

bryanchicken

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.

Elemental_Breakdown

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. Telegram's infrastructure is positioned to redefine Web3 gaming and digital commerce. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

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)
