I had made a post on Reddit a few months ago asking for investment advice, I am a complete beginner to most of this and, got some feedback on the post.

A comment said to reach out to him and we exchanged texts, he said to grab his discord. He told me about trust wallet and staking and how you can make decent money with crypto staking. He seemed cool and I was unaware and unsuspecting.

I opened up the wallet, everything seemed secure and legit with the app. I started staking my money and worked the whole summer and put most of my earnings into there, it was going well and I stupidly sent him some screenshots of my progress and kept him updated, he was friendly and gave me advice. There are some details I have left out probably but today, I was checking on my money it was looking good and my staking reward just arrived, it was 7:22, and at 7:23 I checked it and nothing was in the wallet. Transactions for all of my BTC , ETH, and SOL sent to some random address without me doing a thing.

Funny enough the guy said that his mom was in an accident today and I put the pieces together and figured out that I was scammed. ( I forgot to include the fact that he sent a link when we first started chatting called stakeswap.com and said it was needed to set the wallet up)

I don’t know why I am posting this probably for awareness, don’t be as stupid as me, I have no one to tell about this so I’m posting it on here, I’m absolutely gutted and I worked this whole summer for nothing, at least I know now to stay away from shit like this.

Thanks for reading

The new rules would require issuers to maintain assets equal to at least 100% of all tokens in circulation at all times, and in accounts separate from issuers' own funds.

The regulator states in a consultation paper that stablecoins should be used for payments, not by the public as investment products or to generate yield similar to interest earned on a bank savings account.

The new rules would completely ban stablecoin issuers from paying interest or other benefits tied to customers' stablecoin holdings.

Am I the only one using uphold? Purchased xrp with them
Almost ten years ago and still
Holding it in there but no one ever says anything about uphold lol

Still waiting for my
Millionaire announcement to happen whenever XRP takes the rocket to the moon haha

Curious what everyone thinks.

I’m bullish on the CLARITY Act long term, but short term this feels like it could be a pretty classic buy the rumor, sell the news event.

If BTC and alts keep running into the vote, how much of a successful outcome is already priced in?

I could easily see us rally into the vote, it passes, quick spike and profit taking.

Especially since the upcoming vote still isn’t the bill actually becoming law.

Anyone else thinking the same? Am I an idiot?

Strategy sold nearly 7,000 BTC around $60K, rebuilt its balance sheet, then bought back at $80K — because for Saylor’s machine, cost of capital now matters more than Bitcoin’s price.

Thailand’s SEC is consulting on proposed rules for financial intermediaries arranging overseas crypto-derivative investments for local clients.

The proposal would limit retail, high-net-worth, and ultra-high-net-worth investors to products meeting standards comparable to those applied in Thailand. That includes the underlying asset, leverage, contract duration, settlement, and the regulatory status of the exchange.

Intermediaries could still facilitate access to products outside those requirements for institutional investors.

The consultation runs until September 30, with no implementation date announced yet.

How do you think rules like this could affect retail access to crypto derivatives in Thailand?

can't believe that actually happened. feels like we skipped right past it too. wondering what's next at this point

if you sold, fair enough. if you held, congrats.

what’s everyone doing from here? holding, trimming, buying more, or just watching? interested to hear both the bull and bear case.

The diagram shows the actual mechanic. Rejected 3 times at the same level, that alone doesnt mean its strong, it means orders are quietly piling up there.

Once it actually breaks with real structure behind it, BOS, then a test from above that holds, thats the role reversal. Resistance becomes support, and its earned, not just repeated.

This is basically the entire BTC prior ATH story too. Tested and rejected for years, but once it broke and flipped, every retest since has held.

Usually why beginners get stopped out right at "obvious" support or resistance. The level was never earned to begin with, it just looked strong because it kept getting tested.

Last month I had a huge month trading crypto and made more money than I ever thought I would.

It's honestly got me thinking about whether I should just be happy with what I've made and keep my normal job. I could live pretty comfortably if I just took the money out and stopped taking so much risk.

But then there's the other side of me that thinks I'm young and this might be one of the few times in my life where I have the chance to really go for it.

I feel like whichever decision I make I'm probably going to look back on this period at some point and wonder what would have happened if I'd done the opposite.

What should I do?

USDT reserves on binance dropped ~$870M last month while BTC went up 24%. order books on bydfi feel thinner too. if the dry powder is drying up who exactly is buying the next dip?

Hi all as of a few weeks ago I bought some crypto and for the past few weeks it’s been fluctuating mostly down but as of today it’s gone up a little bit! Now from my research I’ve been told to ‘trust no one’ but hoping there’s some good people on here to help me out l. Do I hold for the next few months/ years or what? Quite new to this not looking to get mega serious about it just some money on the side would be nice.
Any help is appreciated!

I am utterly disgusted with Wirex's practices.

They arbitrarily deducted 10.845959 SOL (worth over 8,000 HKD) from my account under a predatory "Storage Fee" clause.

To be clear, I don't even care about the money anymore-what is unacceptable is how disgraceful and scam-like this method is.

Seizing users' crypto assets under hidden or obscure inactivity terms without prominent advance notice is pure exploitation. When I contacted support to question this, their live chat and Al were completely useless, quoting terms just to brush me off and automatically marking my case as "resolved."

Everyone needs to see how Wirex drains user funds through these predatory tactics. Do not trust this platform with your assets!
