I don't use p2p for trading because I don't consider it the ideal way to trade but I use it to convert to my local currency since it's the only way available to us here.

The problem with p2p integrated with centralized exchanges is that they require KYC in most exchanges, so I do not prefer using p2p CEX. I prefer instead to deal with a reliable intermediary via Telegram, as it provides the necessary guarantee for both the seller and the buyer. I have used this method safely for years and it still works well. Until now.

Since BlackRock entered the market, we know that it will have a major negative impact on Bitcoin and its main features, namely decentralization and privacy, in addition to the fact that investors no longer own real Bitcoin, but rather shares in a central company, while BlackRock is the one who owns real Bitcoin.

This is a fact that everyone knows, and we have talked about it in more than one topic, but isn’t this exactly what governments want? Also, what can the Bitcoin community and lovers of decentralization and privacy do? They cannot actually prevent large companies from entering the market even if they know full well that it is centralized and subject to governments.

I don't know much about Ryan Salama or his role in the FTX disaster, but since he was so close to Bankman Fried, he must have played a major role in the incident, and I expect that he deserves a 7.5-year sentence in prison.

We all hope that justice will take its natural course in this incident, which caused great pain to many people who lost their money, and that we will hear more prison sentences for everyone who participated in this painful disaster that left a major bad impact on the world of crypto.

I read several days ago on one of the Telegram channels that discussions were beginning to appear among some analysts on the CNBC channel regarding the possibility of issuing ETFs for the SOL currency.

I expect that if the discussion is repeated in such influential economic channels and expanded in the media, it will result in a strong rise in the SOL currency, even though this is not acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For me, it is unlikely that Solana will obtain the required approval, especially after the failure that the network is suffering from, which has been repeated more than once. Personally, I do not expect coins other than Bitcoin and Ethereum to obtain approval.

It's something i didn't know, although some discussion claim you still get critical update[1-2]. Although it's not mentioned whether all security update considered as critical or not.

I am speaking from my experience. Updates will inevitably stop after a period of time. The period of time may vary depending on the country, but they will inevitably stop. This is what happened to me at least, as they give you a trial period to use all the features with the ability to update automatically, but after a period of time some important features will stop ( For example, you cannot customize the Windows theme, and automatic updates are also stopped, but you can still install updates manually.

As you know, there are security vulnerabilities that are discovered from time to time in Windows and are fixed through updates, so stopping the update may cause serious problems in the future.

At least for Windows, you actually you can use it without cracking or paying for the license if you don't mind persistent watermark "Activate Windows". You just need to make sure to download the installer from Microsoft website.

Unfortunately, many do not know this - although it seems to me that the unpaid version still has some other not so important limitations. I think I even gave advice to @yhiaali3 to look for a license on BTT (Goods board) because there some people were selling them very cheaply and of course payment is always possible in BTC or some altcoins.

I used to use pirated versions of the OS and practically all programs, but that was back when I had dial-up internet and it took me 30+ minutes for a few MB of data - and we bought pirated programs on CD/DVD. When I just remember that I picked up that damned virus that connected me to some exotic island via a telephone connection and made me "happy" on the next bill

Yes, I remember your advice, thank you.

But I would like to add here that for an unlicensed Windows system with a watermark, the problem is not only the presence of the watermark, but the main problem is that Windows updates have stopped, especially the Windows Defender update, which will make your device vulnerable to major security risks due to the update stopping.

Therefore, it is better to obtain a license or replace Windows with Linux.

Actually, Launchpad also sometimes ends up being a scam because the price doesn't immediately increase, instead the price tends to fall. Participating on Binance is really good because it has a guarantee from Binance and using BNB to participate so it will keep us safe with the capital we use.

That's right, I like your point that most Launchpad projects end up with lower prices over time so investors should take advantage and sell at the beginning of the launch when prices are good because then they will continue to fall.

As for the other issue, I disagree with you a little because it is true that Binance gives some guarantee because of its great reputation, but in the end it is not responsible for these projects and does not bear responsibility for the low price, so investors must conduct their research well before investing, even if the project is listed on Binance.

It's funny to hear about power outages for the SOLANA network, as if they don't have strong power backup.
Solana's network shutdown in February lasted about 5 hours and it was a bad reputation for Solana.

According to an article I read on Cointelegraph: “This is not the first time the Solana blockchain has faced a network outage or disruption in block production. The network has suffered multiple downtimes over the past few years, and the most recent outage (which occurred on February 6) will be the eleventh time in the last two years.

This terrible!! How can a network with all these problems and outages outperform Ethereum, it is impossible.
