Advantages of Binance Alpha: A Gateway to the New Era of Crypto Investments
Binance Alpha is an innovative platform designed for those who want to stay one step ahead in the world of digital assets. Its main advantage lies in early access to promising crypto projects before they are officially listed on the Binance exchange. This gives users the opportunity to secure a strong position at the start, when a token’s growth potential is at its highest.
Among the key benefits of Binance Alpha is its intelligent project selection — every project undergoes a thorough review by the Binance team, significantly reducing the risk of scams or unreliable ventures. The platform also features an easy-to-use interface integrated with the Binance Wallet and includes a “Quick Buy” function for instant token purchases.
Another major strength is the Alpha Points system, which rewards active users for participation, asset holding, and trading. These points can unlock access to exclusive airdrops or special bonuses.
In conclusion, Binance Alpha is not just an investment platform — it’s an ecosystem of new opportunities that combines convenience, security, and high profit potential, empowering the next generation of leaders in the crypto market. $BTR $MERL
Sivilla Attack: how one identity masquerades as hundreds
Sivilla Attack is a type of cyber threat in distributed systems, where a single attacker creates many fake accounts or nodes and uses them for manipulation. The goal is to gain disproportionately large influence over the network, undermine decisions, voting, or trust in the system. The name comes from the image of multiple identities, where one 'substance' disguises itself as dozens or hundreds of individual participants.
#HODLTradingStrategy Comparing HODL with scalping, several key advantages of a long-term strategy can be highlighted:
1. Less stress and emotional burden: Scalping requires constant concentration, quick decision-making, and working with high volatility, which often leads to burnout. HODL, on the other hand, allows one to avoid daily market pressure.
2. Reduced trading costs: Scalpers make dozens or hundreds of trades every day, paying commissions each time. HODL investors buy an asset once and do not incur ongoing costs.
3. Minimization of tax burden: Frequent trades may trigger the need to pay taxes on short-term profits. With HODL, tax is usually paid only once — upon sale.
4. Time efficiency: HODL does not require daily analysis of charts, news, or technical signals. This is especially valuable for busy people.
5. Long-term capital appreciation: Historically, many cryptocurrencies have shown significant growth over the years. A scalper may miss out on these large profits by focusing only on small movements.

Binance was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and Yi He. In 2018, the platform created the SAFU fund to protect users' funds. From 2019 to 2021, Binance launched a P2P marketplace, as well as the Binance Earn and Binance Pay services. In 2022-2023, the exchange implemented a Proof-of-Reserves system and introduced its own Web3 wallet. Since December 2022, Binance's risk management systems have prevented fraudulent transactions worth $10 billion. The exchange helped recover or freeze stolen funds amounting to over $215 million.
The Binance team processed about 241,000 requests from law enforcement and conducted over 400 training sessions on combating financial crimes. Nearly 22% of the exchange's employees work in compliance.
The Binance Pay payment service processed 300 million transactions worth $230 billion. From 2022 to 2024, the service helped users save $1.75 billion on transfer fees.
#VoteToDelistOnBinance Relatively recently I saw that Binance added the ability for users to vote for the delisting of coins. The conditions for voting rights are 0.01 BNB in the user's account at the time of voting. The idea itself is not bad, but there is an opinion that this way it is possible to influence the projects that have made it to the monitoring list in not entirely clean ways. That is, theoretically, this could be used to push some projects off the exchange. I am curious about the opinions of other users. How do you perceive this innovation?

Solana is not only valuable because of the huge popularity of memecoins, which are based on its blockchain, but also because almost all of these newly created memecoins are doomed to fail from the very beginning, and therefore the assets $SOL that are used to create memecoins are essentially stuck forever. That is, the more new memecoins are created, the more $SOL is essentially burned. Am I understanding correctly?
It's been almost a month since I started working with futures contracts. Maybe it seems strange to someone, but I didn't understand how they work, and for me futures always seemed like something "too difficult". Although I started interacting with cryptocurrency when Bitcoin was worth ~$10 (yes, if I had known then what potential it would become in the future).. but everything has its time..
