Hello crypto community! 👋
The market is growing, and so is the "get rich quick" industry. Hundreds of bloggers and courses promise gold mines, but how do you separate the wheat from the chaff and save your money?
Here are a few tips for beginners to avoid falling into the traps of scammers and unscrupulous "experts".
1. The Golden Rule: Free is Often Better than Paid
Most fundamental knowledge about cryptocurrency, blockchain, security, and basic technical analysis is already available in the public domain. 
Where to look? Official Binance blogs (like this one!), CoinMarketCap, project documentation (White Papers), and YouTube channels with a proven reputation (not those that advertise clear scam tokens).What's worth paying for? Only for highly specialized, verified, and legitimate services (e.g., access to professional trading software or tax consultations), not for "secret earning schemes". 
2. Red Flags of "Crypto Gurus"
Watch out for these signals:
Guaranteed profit promises: There are no guarantees in the crypto market. Anyone promising 100% returns or a "signal that never fails" is a scammer."Buy my course, or you'll miss out": Manipulating the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) is a standard tactic of "infobusinessmen".Advertising scam projects: If a blogger constantly promotes new, unknown tokens that you need to "buy now," run. Always do your own research (DYOR) on projects.No verifiable history: A successful trader or investor can show their public trading history or portfolio (even if they hide exact amounts), not just screenshots of charts they didn't create. 
3. Think for Yourself (DYOR)
The most important skill in crypto is Do Your Own Research (DYOR). 
No course will automatically make you rich. Courses can provide tools, but you have to trade and make decisions yourself. Don't transfer responsibility for your financial decisions to a blogger on the internet.
Summary:
Your best investments at the start are the time spent on self-education and a small amount of money you are prepared to lose while learning from your mistakes.
Stay safe and good luck in the market! 🚀

$BTC We all love the adrenaline rush of trading and the potential for massive profits. But where is the fine line between sensible investing and the dangerous addiction known as gambling addiction (ludomania)? This problem is becoming increasingly relevant in our fast-paced world of digital assets.
What is Crypto Gambling Addiction?
Gambling addiction, or ludomania, in the context of cryptocurrencies, is an uncontrollable, pathological obsession with trading, accompanied by a constant urge to place bets (buy/sell) regardless of logic and market analysis. This isn't just a "hobby"; it's a serious psychological disorder that can lead to devastating financial and personal consequences.
Why is Crypto So Appealing to Addicts?
High Volatility: Sharp price swings create the illusion of quick and easy money, comparable to winning the lottery.24/7 Availability: The market never sleeps, allowing "gambling" at any time of day, destroying daily routines and social life.Sense of Control: Traders feel they are in control of the situation, while in reality, they are driven by emotions: the fear of missing out (FOMO) and greed.Anonymity: The digital world can create a false sense of security, hiding the problem from loved ones.
Signs That You (or a Friend) Are at Risk:
Constant Thoughts About Trading: Cryptocurrency becomes the only topic of conversation and thought.Increasing Risks: You start trading increasingly larger amounts or using significant leverage without proper analysis.Emotional Rollercoaster: Alternating euphoria from profit with deep depression from losses.Ignoring Responsibilities: Work, family, and friends take a back seat.Attempts to "Win Back": After large losses, there's an uncontrollable desire to recover the money, which only makes the situation worse.
How to Protect Yourself?
Education: Study the market; don't just "bet" on luck.Risk Management: Always use stop-losses and never invest more than you are prepared to lose.Time Limits: Set strict hours for trading and take breaks.Diversification: Don't get fixated on one asset or type of investment.Seek Help: If you feel you are losing control, don't hesitate to contact a specialist or support groups.
Cryptocurrency is a powerful financial tool, not a roulette wheel. Let's use it wisely and responsibly.

Representatives of large crypto ATM operators are increasingly talking about a simple principle: the market will only grow when security and transparency become the norm, not an option. For many, the crypto ATM is the 'gateway' to digital assets, and it's there that users most often encounter risks: from imposed 'helpers' and social engineering to substitution of details, non-obvious fees, and disputed exchange rates. If this entry point looks suspicious or unclear, trust is lost not just in one device, but in an entire segment.

STON.fi is committed to providing a secure, predictable, and composable Decentralized Exchange (DEX) experience on the $TON network. To uphold this standard, the DEX interface explicitly filters out non-standard fee-on-transfer (tax) tokens. This technical necessity is a crucial user-protection measure.

Fee-on-transfer, or "tax tokens," are a class of non-standard smart contract tokens that contain custom logic to automatically deduct a percentage of the amount transferred during every transaction.

The core function of an Automated Market Maker (AMM) DEX is to guarantee a predictable output for a user's input, which is essential for routing complex transactions across multiple liquidity pools. Tax tokens fundamentally break this accounting model.

STONfi’s Safety Stance
STONfi’s decision to hide these assets in the user interface is a safety-first approach. It acts as an essential interface guardrail to:

1. Protect Users: Shielding users, particularly newcomers, from unexpected fee deductions and the risk of unrecoverable funds or malicious token owner activity.

2. Ensure Protocol Reliability: Guaranteeing that all token swaps facilitated via the primary interface adhere to predictable, standardized token behavior, thus maintaining the integrity of all swap and liquidity flows.
