I agree that nothing is perfect. That's why I asked what additional steps can be taken to further secure crypto assets.

For the average joe I think some tips have been mentioned already. Verifying files before you download them, double checking the website, creating a cold wallet, etc. If you still want more tips then you probably need to get technical, such as learning the program used to write the wallet that you used, building it on your own, making your wallet from scratch, etc. That being said, I believe being a little bit afraid that something can go wrong regardless of what we do is a good thing since it keeps us on our toes.

They are not new and some went bankrupt already. One project that I know of decided to run away just a few months ago so I can say I'm still a bit bitter about these DeFi lending projects. What projects are you testing right now? I can say that most are still far off from disrupting traditional platforms. Too soon to say whether they are the future or not. For all I know banks can simply copy the process and place KYC if they want to. CMIIW.

That being said, it currently offers something new compared to traditional lending. It is easier to use since most of the time you can simply connect and lend/borrow easily. Just remember that some platforms might require KYC, especially if they don't want to deal with US scrutiny.

I think Ethereum team if unable to fix gas fee problem then Ethereum will be unpopular.

I think it will take more than just expensive fees to kill Ethereum nowadays, especially with how abundant layer-2 projects are. I can see the mainchain transactions happening on Ethereum, then the rest happened on layer 2 or something. Compared to other blockchains, Ethereum is still one of the most secure and reliable if you compare it to something like Solana which gets an outage once in a year or so. I believe making smart contract calls cheaper is still a good idea though.

Therefore, sometimes being cryptocurrencies in a gray area and there are no penalties or legal problems for those who want to buy them is much better than establishing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

I think in a condition like that the sellers or developers will be the ones who are anxious about their future since the government can decide they will jail them because they operate without following any regulation. Hard to argue against them if they make the law ambiguous by design. I don't think any government will let people use crypto as they please anyway. Not sure how this law affects Brazilian users, but if they care about privacy and security they will likely stick with P2P. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

It is a fun fact that I actually do the same. I just check my portfolio whenever I have spare time and mobile is in my hands, see changes, and do nothing about it. Dont know how explain this properly. Definitely not curiosity, because I would be checking portfolio more frequently. Definitely not a some kind of a professional approach, because I would have reacted on recent ETH 25% price growth in last 24h (just an example). I would not call it an addiction either.

Maybe you can figure out the reason if you collect more data about your habit. A quick analysis can suggest several hypotheses, such as habit, slight curiosity, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if that just becomes a habit so you don't really have any motivation to do that other than doing the same thing you've always done for comfort. I have more or less the same habit, albeit not exactly related to trading or crypto. If I miss that activity for a few days, or even a day, I just feel slightly uncomfortable. It is not an addiction either since I don't necessarily gain dopamine from doing that. I think that's healthy compared to checking BTC price every minute or so.

Bukan itu om yang ane maksud, tapi beneran log aktivitas browsing kita kayak website yang dikunjungi dst. Makanya ga rekomendasi kalau privasi dan keamanan jadi tujuan agan (apalagi kalau ga ngakses website yang udah mengaktifkan HTTPS. Emang sifatnya berbasis komunitas, jadi bisa aja tempat koneksi kita itu honeypot dari pemerintah misalnya. Di list servernya biasanya sih ngelog 2 minggu, tapi ga ada jaminan juga. Intinya opsi terakhir buat ngakses forum aja kalau emang perlu banget, kalau aktivitas sehari-hari mending nyari yang lain atau berbayar sekalian kalau butuh VPN.

Instead, they are telling all exchanges to delist Naira from their exchange, and the EFCC have also told airports not to use dollars again but Naira. Will this revive our dying currency to start gaining value over dollar, or the focus on production should be handled urgently.

Some news also suggests they think crypto or P2P is the culprit for this forex manipulation if I recall correctly. Sounds like the deflation is worse than I thought if they keep bleeding like this. I'm not an expert by any means but if there's no reason to invest in the country because they don't produce anything, I think there's no reason for the market to value their fiat currency that much. Sounds like there are complex issues and the only way to untangle the mess is by finding the right person to steer the government, which is probably a hard thing to do[1]. CMIIW.
