New Crypto Scam Alert, Please Read, Stay Alert & Share
I was just informed about a brand new crypto scam, and I want to share it so more people can stay safe. Just a couple of days after Binance announced they surpassed 300 million users (which means roughly 3% of the world’s population now has a Binance account), it’s only natural that scam attempts targeting Binance users will increase. The larger the user base, the easier it is for scammers to find victims. 📞 The Scam: Fake “Unauthorized Transaction” Call You may receive a call from a local-looking phone number. Once you answer, you hear an automated message warning you about an “unauthorized transaction,” followed by instructions: 👉 “Press #1 if this wasn’t you.” If you don’t press anything, the message repeats itself, almost forcing you to respond. If you press #1, you’re connected to a real person, usually speaking English with a common scammer accent. They will then try to get your codes, login details, or other sensitive information “to check the transaction.”
What You Should Do
1️⃣ Do NOTHING — hang up immediately. Open your Binance app yourself and check your balance and transaction history. If you’re still unsure, contact Binance Support (ONLY THROUGH THE BINANCE APP) and report the number.
2️⃣ Warn your crypto friends, especially newcomers. Scammers rely on confusion and panic.
3️⃣ Stay cautious and always skeptical. No legitimate platform will ever ask you for: Seed phrasesPasswords2FA codeSMS verification codes
Always log in to the official app or website yourself. Never follow instructions from random callers.
Note
This exact scam has already happened a couple of times today in Greece alone. Let me know what country you’re in and if you have experienced something similar! (I had received two calls sometime ago, by someone who was in the Blockchain -haha- and told me there was some forgotten $BTC that I should withdraw by paying some small fees. Of course I sent them far away from where they had come)
I believe that as tech, blockchain, and Web3 evolve, we’ll see many more reward-based apps (as in post/play/engage-to-earn) or existing apps adapting to this model.
Since growth and revenue depend heavily on user-base, this shift feels almost inevitable.
New apps appear every year, some disappear, and the trend keeps moving.
Do you agree? Do you use or plan to use any to-earn apps? Do you know that you can write-to-earn if you use Binance Square?
gm! Fear & Greed remain steady at 15 (not sure if they can/will go lower), but a constrained optimism is in the air .. $BTC returns in the 6H most searched coins, as it seems to be rebounding past the recent support break. $ZEC remains first in search. Why?
Extreme Fear at 15! Be careful out there. Opportunity is near but same is true about manipulation and danger. Most searched are $ZEC (heard that some rumours may not be true, make your research) $FIL and $ICP
Extreme Fear in Crypto: The Secret Signal Smart Investors Never Ignore?
When the Crypto Fear and Greed Index flashes Extreme Fear, most people panic. Headlines scream disaster, social media feeds turn red, and many investors rush to sell.
But here’s the twist: historically, some of the biggest market rebounds have followed right after these fearful moments.
----- 📌 Historical Moments When Extreme Fear Led to Big Crypto Rebounds 1️⃣ December 2018, Bitcoin Bottoms at $3,200
The market was drowning in fear after a long bear market. Sentiment hit rock bottom.
👉 Within months, Bitcoin surged past $13,000, a +300% rebound.
2️⃣ March 2020, COVID Crash (BTC dropped to $3,800)
Panic everywhere. Extreme Fear at its highest.
👉 This moment became the start of the historic bull run that pushed Bitcoin to $69,000 in 2021.
3️⃣ July 2021, China Mining Ban Crash
Fear exploded when China banned Bitcoin mining and markets tanked.
👉 Bitcoin bounced from $29,000 to $52,000 within weeks. 4️⃣ November–December 2022 – FTX Collapse
Sentiment was at maximum fear after the FTX scandal.
👉 Bitcoin bottomed near $15,500, and one year later it was back above $35,000 and climbing.
-----
The index is basically a sentiment thermometer, showing whether investors feel confident or terrified. And right now? It’s pointing to deep fear. But fear doesn’t always mean the end, sometimes, it marks the beginning of opportunity.
Instead of reacting emotionally, this is the perfect time to slow down, ask questions, and do your own research.
Markets move in cycles, and extreme emotions often hide valuable signals. D
Don’t blindly accept what you read online, look for data, compare sources, and form your own view.
The crypto market rewards curiosity, not panic. Use fear as a reminder to stay informed, not influenced.

A headline means nothing without context, semantics, and a more spherical way of thinking.
My reminder (to myself first): stay vigilant, stay curious, and always do holistic research before forming conclusions (or most importantly, before making financial decisions that could have a big affect in your life!)

Fear and Index are now at 18 and while voices around spread contradictory messages, it was recently shared by Decrypt that Harvard increased Its Bitcoin Position Investments as Emory expands $BTC ETF Holdings.
As per Decrypt, Harvard is one of a growing number of universities allocating funds to invest in Bitcoin ETFs. Others include Brown University, which holds $13.8 million in IBIT shares, while Emory University recently reported a similar adjustment to Harvard's.
This reflects a longer-term investment action plan, backed by BlackRock’s popular ETF.
BTC Dominance Nears 60%: Is Altcoin Season Delayed or Dead?
Bitcoin dominance is once again approaching the 60% mark, a threshold that historically reflects a market leaning heavily toward the world’s largest cryptocurrency while sidelining most altcoins. As $BTC continues to absorb the bulk of market liquidity, crypto traders and analysts are asking the same question:
Is altcoin season still coming, or are we witnessing the end of it? Recent analysis across crypto news outlets, point to a market dynamic that feels familiar. When traders become cautious, liquidity retreats to Bitcoin, pushing its dominance up while altcoins struggle. And right now, the market appears to be in exactly that phase. What does BTC dominance approaching 60% truly mean? How has this historically impacted altcoin season and what should we be watching next? What Is Bitcoin Dominance and Why Does It Matter? Bitcoin dominance represents the percentage of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization made up solely by BTC. For example, if the entire crypto market is valued at $2.5 trillion and Bitcoin accounts for $1.5 trillion, BTC dominance sits at 60%. This metric is crucial because it reveals where the capital is flowing: High BTC dominance → liquidity is concentrated in Bitcoin (risk-off environment) Falling BTC dominance → liquidity rotates into altcoins (risk-on environment, often the beginning of altcoin season) Historically, strong altcoin rallies rarely happen while BTC dominance is pushing upward or sitting at multi-year highs. Instead, altcoin season typically begins when Bitcoin stabilizes, cools down, or begins losing market share as traders shift into mid-cap and low-cap assets. In short, the dominance needs to be decreased, before any altseason is in the picture.. Why Is BTC Dominance Rising?
Bitcoin’s rising dominance can be attributed to several factors shaping the current market: 1. Institutional Flows Favoring Bitcoin Spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to drive demand from institutional investors seeking exposure to crypto with minimal risk. Their inflows increase BTC’s market cap disproportionately to altcoins.
2. A Risk-Off Market Mood Global macro uncertainty, interest rate speculation, and geopolitical concerns often push traders toward the “safer” end of the crypto spectrum. Bitcoin benefits; altcoins do not.
3. Altcoins Still Struggling to Recover Many altcoins remain far below their all-time highs. Weak fundamentals, lack of major updates, and lower investor confidence delay capital rotation into more speculative assets.
4. BTC Halving Post-Effect The months following a Bitcoin halving often bring an accumulation period where BTC outperforms before altcoins catch up(if they catch up.) Combined, these factors create the perfect conditions for Bitcoin dominance to remain elevated. What Happens When Bitcoin Dominance Approaches 60%?
BTC dominance at 60% is not just a number, it’s a psychological and historical marker.
Historical Context During the 2020–2021 cycle, altcoin season only began after BTC dominance peaked and began to fall. When BTC dominance rises above 55%–60%, altcoins typically underperform both short-term and mid-term. Investors tend to consolidate into BTC after major volatility or uncertainty. Will Bitcoin’s dominance surge signal the end, or at least the postponement, of a strong altcoin season?
In simple terms: Altcoins need BTC dominance to reverse before they can run.
--------------------------------
Is Altcoin Season Dead, or Just Delayed?
Despite Bitcoin’s strength, altcoin season is not necessarily over. But for it to begin, one of the following catalysts must emerge.
1. Bitcoin Must Slow Down or Enter Consolidation Altcoin season often starts when Bitcoin’s price stabilizes in a predictable range. If BTC stops outperforming, traders shift focus to assets with higher upside potential.
2. Strong Narrative Cycles Must Return In previous years, altcoin seasons were fueled by powerful narratives such as: DeFi Summer Layer-1 expansion (Solana, Avalanche) Play-to-earn and metaverse AI tokens Meme coin surges
Right now, narrative cycles are fragmented. A clear new narrative could reignite retail interest.
3. ETH Must Strengthen Relative to BTC Ethereum’s performance is often a leading indicator. Historically, sustained ETH/BTC strength precedes broader altcoin rallies. Currently, $ETH is lagging, another reason altcoin season hasn’t begun.
4. Liquidity Must Increase Across the Market Global liquidity expansion, rate cuts, or improving macro conditions could encourage traders to move from BTC into riskier assets.
5. Regulatory Clarity for Key Sectors Stablecoin regulations, ETF approvals for Ethereum or Solana, and clearer frameworks for crypto projects could improve sentiment and reduce uncertainty, — enabling capital rotation.
If these catalysts align, altcoin season can still emerge. But until then, the market is likely to remain BTC-dominant and risk-off.
What Should We Watch Next?
To understand whether altcoin season is approaching, traders should monitor: ✔ Bitcoin Dominance Chart A reversal or breakdown from 60% would be a strong early signal of capital rotation. ✔ ETH/BTC Performance If Ethereum begins to outperform Bitcoin, it often triggers broader altcoin optimism. ✔ Trading Volume on Major Altcoins Increasing volume typically precedes price expansion, suggesting accumulating interest. ✔ Improvement in Market Sentiment Positive macro news, ETF developments, or strong project updates could shift momentum. ✔ Liquidity and Stablecoin Supply Rising stablecoin market caps generally indicate fresh capital entering the market.
Final Thoughts Bitcoin dominance nearing 60% paints a picture of a market still playing it safe. Altcoins remain in the shadow of BTC as traders wait for stronger signals, clearer narratives, and a more favorable risk environment.
For now, patience and strategic observation may be the most valuable tools in a trader’s arsenal.
