The problem cant be solved by someone unless all projects started to make use of advanced security features just like the UtopiaP2P ecosystem and also constantly upgrade their platform. Do you guys hear that almost all the funds hacked by hackers on the DeFi project are returned?
I read a Tweet by CZ Binance that mentioned it but that doesn't justify that all cryptocurrencies projects have to ignore the most important thing which is to secure the investors and their user funds.

Yes, the mean of people investing in cryptocurrency is always about making a profit but some investor join the crypto market because of the limited supply of it since the government never stop printing more fiat currency and there's no way a trillion note will be printed and the country economic won't experience inflation so some people see a safe-haven in crypto.
What do you define investment as? I believe you are using the wrong term because it’s for certain that people invest for the purpose of making money that’s what the term investment signifies.
I am not talking about what investment means, I am talking about what happened during the covid-19 when banking institutions first find a safe-haven in cryptocurrency, and if you notice this is actually the moment private organizations started to diversify some of their capital into crypto.
There are so many recovery services these days, especially on Telegram, their method is to tell you to contact them through mail, do not send them any mail, they are scammers, if your crypto is stolen, then it is stolen forever, what you should do is make sure it does not get stolen.
Telegram is known as the paradise of cryptocurrency scammer and anyone that have trust in a stranger who promises to recover his lost crypto is still a rookie in the crypto investment.
As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, it is never idea to use free or cheap tools (internet security/antivirus, VPN, etc.) If you dont have the fund for VPN make use of the UtopiaP2P application client.
Since the second half of 2022, a new type of information-stealing malware, OpcJacker, has been discovered as part of a malicious ad campaign.
Trend Micro researchers Jaromir Horejsi and Joseph C. Chen said.
The campaign's initial vector was a network of fake websites promoting seemingly harmless software and cryptocurrency-related applications. The February 2023 campaign specifically targeted Iranian users by offering VPN services.
The installation file acts as a conduit for deploying OpcJacker, which is also capable of delivering next-level payloads such as NetSupport RAT and hidden Virtual Network Computing (hVNC) variants for remote access. OpcJacker hides using an encryption called Babadeda and uses configuration files to enable data collection capabilities. It can also run arbitrary shellcode and executables.
"The configuration file format resembles bytecode written in user-defined machine language, where each instruction is parsed, individual opcodes are extracted, and special handlers are executed," Trend Micro said.
Given the malware's ability to steal cryptocurrency funds from wallets, it is suspected that these actions are financially motivated. However, OpcJacker's versatility makes it an ideal malware loader.
Securonix reveals details of an ongoing campaign called TACTICAL #OCTOPUS that targets US entities using tax-related decoys by infecting them with a backdoor to gain access to the victim's system and capture clipboard data and keystrokes. In a related development, Italian and French users searching YouTube for hacked versions of computer maintenance software such as EaseUS Partition Master and Driver Easy Pro were redirected to a Blogger page distributing the NullMixer dropper.
NullMixer also excels at simultaneously removing a variety of pre-existing malware, including PseudoManuscrypt, Raccoon Stealer, GCleaner, Fabookie, and a new malware loader called Crashtech Loader, resulting in massive infections.
Well in terms of investment people invest in cryptocurrency because of the gains that it would offer them but if you meant why do people use cryptocurrency then may they are tired of the poor banking system.
Yes, the mean of people investing in cryptocurrency is always about making a profit but some investor join the crypto market because of the limited supply of it since the government never stop printing more fiat currency and there's no way a trillion note will be printed and the country economic won't experience inflation so some people see a safe-haven in crypto.
In the operation guided by Romania and Bulgaria, law enforcement officers in a total of 31 countries targeted individuals suspected of purchasing weapons from arms dealers. As illegal firearms become more difficult and expensive to obtain, individuals and organized criminals often turn to modified sirens and flare guns. These blank guns have become the weapon of choice for criminals, as some models have proven to be easily converted to live ammunition.
Most of the seized sirens and flares were models manufactured in Turkey at a time when the country's legislation on their production was changed. The weapons have been imported into the EU and sold legally in Bulgaria and other member states. But once sold, they are often trafficked across borders and turned into lethal weapons in other countries, both inside and outside the EU. The conversion process involves converting guns to fire live ammunition, which is illegal. Once modified, these weapons are distributed through illegal channels, contributing to the proliferation of illegal firearms.
Operational results
143 house searches
22 arrests
129 firearms seized
1 492 unconverted and converted alarm and signal weapons seized

I don't see any reason why the Crypton Exchange needs a colorful background to make it look full of spirit or sassy. What that matter is the service the exchange provided and I believe you're the first user to suggest colorful background for the exchange.
I have never for once thought about the background and the color of the Crypton Exchange since what I am after is their advanced anonymous exchange services.
@Kelechi happen to be the first user of the Crypton Exchange that I see who suggests changing the site color.

And when do you think the NFT marketplace of Utopiap2p would be out. For now you can only use CRP Crypton to buy any NFT of the buyer actually accepts it as a means of payment.
I don’t think anyone would know about that for now. The Utopia p2p team did not also give a specific date for Fban and I believe it can be anytime let’s just anticipate it.
If Crypton coin can be accepted as payment by online merchants and stores owner there's nothing stopping CRP from being used as a means of payment for NFT if the seller knows is a listed cryptocurrency.
Hey guys happy Sunday I have a score to settle, guys since I have been on Utopia p2p I have always seen the vote the coin we want listed on Crypton exchange but I don’t see much listings happening what’s wrong.
This is the exact impression I also heard but I trust the developer team to be doing their best about it and it appears that they pay more attention to the development aspect of the application client for now. Before this year's end, I think they will add more coins to the Crypton Exchange.

It’s quite expected and right now I don’t the the work of the support team would be made any easier. I must tell you that my first time using CRYPTON Exchange wasn’t difficult at all.
Same here I did not have any difficulties at all using Crypton Exchange. It was actually a smooth transition and the transactions are easy to carry out. Registration is also not an issue.
Let's see what will happen by next year and i hope the dev team keep up the good work.

No cap on that mate. But you will agree with it's going to be a hell of a hassle. Manchester City and Manchester United are great clubs that have done a lot for London.
Well you may be mistaken them as Manchester United and Manchester city aren’t London clubs but yes they have done well for England football in general.
A lot of football fans that didn't o their homework well about the two football clubs always make mistake about the things you point out concern Manchester United and Manchester city

According to the major reason that brought together the developer that created the UtopiaP2P ecosystem. I believe the Crypton coin is already on the list of the long-lasting cryptocurrency we have in the market.
Well CRP Crypton started in 2019 if I am not mistaking so I won't consider CRP a long lasting coin just get but it has shown over the years that it's not just a one season wonder coin .
Yes, Crypton coin has proven not to be a one-season cryptocurrency and i believe every crypto that's resilient in the total bearish market is good crypto for investment just as CZ Binance advises that the bear always exposes weak coin.
I believe that it would take some time before the vision of globally using the artificial intelligence would be achieved. So it’s a good time for everyone to try learning personal skills.
Yes, it's too early for the enormous adoption of artificial intelligence but let's understand this clearly no matter the potential provided by artificial intelligence some people will never like it just like we see some people not liking or making use of Bitcoin.
Kelechi;6407 wrote:Okay everyone is of the reasoning that CRP Crypton is not affected by the whales but if whales can just buy coins and affect the value by actions they take, why won't they also do so with CRP.
This question cannot be answered directly. On one hand yes, CRP would be affected by whales as we are still at the maturation stage and the wealth in the project is not yet fully spread out, this is normal for such a project.
On the other hand, believe in the project and the coin is high among the community. They would be less willing to give up their coins cause of movement in the market.
How can you be sure that a crypto that's said to have a no manipulation will be affected by the whales? Are you part of the dev team?
No matter how high the hope thats giving to the community some people will still sell their coin and only those that understand the concept, what the future have in stock for the project and also join the project not for greed will ever giveup their coins.

Well I won’t dispute all you have just said but most of them were just a short term partnership but anything that would bring about progress for the community I believe Utopia p2p would be doing it.
Well I believe that Utopia p2p doesn't discriminate when they are trying to select a project To partner with, so centralized or decentralized they can support them
If you notice UtopiaP2P ecosystem is a project that always welcomes new users, new projects, ideas, and creations. It's all because it's a truly decentralized ecosystem with was built in a community-driven way.

What I like about the Utopia USD stablecoin is the anonymous, low-cost transaction fee, and it is always pegged with the US Dollar. My enthusiasm increased for the UUSD after I follow its performance in the recent bear that happened in the stablecoin market.
You are totally correct and this reminds me of what I once read about the UtopiaP2P ecosystem developer that they conducted 6years of research and work on the Utopia project before officially releasing it to the public and also self-fund it.
I also read about this when I read the fundamental concept of the UtopiaP2P ecosystem and it is hard to find project developer teams that will do the research performed by the Utopia team before releasing the project even Satoshi didn't do 6years of research before creating Bitcoin.

This innovative interesting news at its peak and I believe the Utopia developer create this feature base on the community request. I am glad cause this will show some of the users of the ecosystem that the developer team is really working 24/7 on the development of the ecosystem.
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against crypto asset entrepreneur Justin Sun and three of his wholly-owned companies, Tron Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd., and Rainberry Inc. (formerly BitTorrent), for the unregistered offer and sale of crypto asset securities Tronix (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT). The SEC also charged Sun and his companies with fraudulently manipulating the secondary market for TRX through extensive wash trading, which involves the simultaneous or near-simultaneous purchase and sale of a security to make it appear actively traded without an actual change in beneficial ownership, and for orchestrating a scheme to pay celebrities to tout TRX and BTT without disclosing their compensation.
The SEC simultaneously charged the following eight celebrities for illegally touting TRX and/or BTT without disclosing that they were compensated for doing so and the amount of their compensation.
• Lindsay Lohan
• Jake Paul
• DeAndre Cortez Way (Soulja Boy)
• Austin Mahone
• Michele Mason (Kendra Lust)
• Miles Parks McCollum (Lil Yachty)
• Shaffer Smith (Ne-Yo)
• Aliaune Thiam (Akon)
The SEC’s complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that Sun and his companies offered and sold TRX and BTT as investments through multiple unregistered “bounty programs,” which directed interested parties to promote the tokens on social media, join and recruit others to Tron-affiliated Telegram and Discord channels, and create BitTorrent accounts in exchange for TRX and BTT distributions. The complaint further alleges that Sun, BitTorrent Foundation, and Rainberry offered and sold BTT in unregistered monthly airdrops to investors, including in the United States, who purchased and held TRX in Tron wallets or on participating crypto asset trading platforms. According to the complaint, each of these unregistered offers and sales violated Section 5 of the Securities Act.
The Commission also alleges that Sun violated the antifraud and market manipulation provisions of the federal securities laws by orchestrating a scheme to artificially inflate the apparent trading volume of TRX in the secondary market. From at least April 2018 through February 2019, Sun allegedly directed his employees to engage in more than 600,000 wash trades of TRX between two crypto asset trading platform accounts he controlled, with between 4.5 million and 7.4 million TRX wash traded daily. This scheme required a significant supply of TRX, which Sun allegedly provided. As alleged, Sun also sold TRX into the secondary market, generating proceeds of $31 million from illegal, unregistered offers and sales of the token.
“This case demonstrates again the high risk investors face when crypto asset securities are offered and sold without proper disclosure,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “As alleged, Sun and his companies not only targeted U.S. investors in their unregistered offers and sales, generating millions in illegal proceeds at the expense of investors, but they also coordinated wash trading on an unregistered trading platform to create the misleading appearance of active trading in TRX. Sun further induced investors to purchase TRX and BTT by orchestrating a promotional campaign in which he and his celebrity promoters hid the fact that the celebrities were paid for their tweets.”
“While we’re neutral about the technologies at issue, we’re anything but neutral when it comes to investor protection,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “As alleged in the complaint, Sun and others used an age-old playbook to mislead and harm investors by first offering securities without complying with registration and disclosure requirements and then manipulating the market for those very securities. At the same time, Sun paid celebrities with millions of social media followers to tout the unregistered offerings, while specifically directing that they not disclose their compensation. This is the very conduct that the federal securities laws were designed to protect against regardless of the labels Sun and others used.”
With the exception of Cortez Way and Mahone, the celebrities charged today agreed to pay a total of more than $400,000 in disgorgement, interest, and penalties to settle the charges, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Adam B. Gottlieb, Ann Rosenfield, John Lucas, and John Marino. It was supervised by Paul Kim, Michael Brennan, Jorge G. Tenreiro, and David Hirsch. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Timothy Halloran and Mr. Gottlieb, under the supervision of Melissa Armstrong.
interesting post, please do more posts on this topic.
How can I do more posts on the topic when that's all the information I could get? It's not nice to provide false information which are the exact things we need to fix in the cryptocurrency market now.

Resources? If you're talking about the development od ChatGPT maybe for research and getting the result there's no resources or knowledge involved.

I read that the Egypt's economy is now being impacted by several negative causes, including low foreign currency reserves, expensive interest payments, the Russia-Ukraine war, decreasing tourism, food insecurity, and high inflation.
I only know about the expensive interest payments, decreasing tourism, food insecurity, and high inflation but they think turning back on the USD is the solution then the negative issue just started.

So, if I understand correctly, blockchain is not secure?
Blockchain technology creates a data structure with inherent security properties. It is based on cryptography, decentralization and consensus principles to ensure the reliability of transactions. Therefore, miners are the ones who power the network and keep transactions running smoothly.
Between 6 and 9 March, Europol, together with the ATLAS network and the European Surveillance Group, coordinated a joint exercise of surveillance and intervention units across the EU. The exercise involved units from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Executed in real-life conditions, the coordinated exercise started in Ireland and culminated with several simultaneous interventions in Luxembourg and Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Europol supports national authorities through operational coordination, cross-border investigations and establishing links between field actors. This is also Europol’s role in such exercises; helping Member States improve connections and build up common operational capabilities.
Following the successful conclusion of the exercise, Europol’s Deputy Executive Director Jean-Philippe Lecouffe remarked:
Europol is well-placed to bring networks together. Europol hosts ATLAS and supports numerous other Europe-wide networks such as the European Surveillance Group. Common exercises are fundamental to increasing the preparedness of Special Intervention Units for cross-border operations. Their readiness directly translates into making Europe safer.
Surveillance and intervention units – the ones you (almost) never see
Terrorist plot foiled. Kidnapped child retrieved. These are the results, but how they are achieved is something that we (almost) never see. Can criminals and terrorists escape by crossing a border? Can a potentially dangerous suspect be tracked while travelling in another country to commit an attack?
Intervention and surveillance units are on the ground every day, sometimes 24/7. We almost never see them: this is a job well done. There is of course a challenge – special units from different countries have to cooperate closely, communicate swiftly, and coordinate all activities in real time. The use of common systems facilitates this coordination, permits joint exercises and - most importantly – builds operational networks that bring together specialised units from across the EU.
Tracking suspected terrorists across Europe
The exercise focused on a fictional terrorist plot. The scenario started in Ireland, from where two suspects took a plane to Austria. Surveillance teams from Ireland and Austria were then joined by counterparts from Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Luxembourg, who followed the targets across borders while gathering information about the individuals’ nefarious plans. This coordination and exchange of information led to the final assault, which took place in the Netherlands – fictional arrests of the two suspects for planning a terrorist attack. Coordinated from Europol’s headquarters, this exercise put all national teams in a real time situation. This was the first time the two networks had worked this closely together, successfully coordinating an operation across fifteen national borders.
The ATLAS network is a cooperation platform of 38 Special Intervention Units of EU Member States and associated countries, Iceland, Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom. The development of the EU security landscape in recent years has highlighted the need of well-trained and EU-wide interoperable Special Intervention Units to strengthen law enforcement responses in Europe. Europol has hosted the Support Office of the ATLAS network at its headquarters since 2019, in order to enhance that close cooperation.
The European Surveillance Group is a network of covert surveillance units from the EU Member States and associated countries Norway, UK and Switzerland. Europol has been supporting the network since its foundation in 2007.
