I have recently joined a WhatsApp group "ARSALAN MALIK CRYPTO" promising lucrative cryptocurrency investment opportunities, only to be scammed by the group admin "Usman Malik" who took your fee and then promptly blocked you? Unfortunately, this is a common tactic used by scam artists to exploit eager investors looking to make a quick profit in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies.

Scammers running WhatsApp "ARSALAN MALIK CRYPTO" group will often lure unsuspecting individuals with promises of high returns and exclusive investment opportunities. They may ask for an upfront fee to join the group or to access insider information on upcoming trades. However, once they have received your payment, they have no intention of providing any valuable insights or opportunities.

Instead, these scammers will block you from the group, leaving you out of pocket and feeling frustrated and betrayed. It's essential to be wary of any group that asks for money upfront, especially if they promise guaranteed returns or use high-pressure sales tactics to persuade you to join.

To protect yourself from falling victim to these scams, always do your research before joining any WhatsApp crypto group. Check the credibility of the group admin and their track record in the industry. Never send money to someone you don't know or trust, and always be cautious of any promises that seem too good to be true.
If you have been scammed by a WhatsApp crypto group, report the incident to the relevant authorities and warn others about the dangers of these fraudulent schemes. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to investing in cryptocurrencies.
SO BEWARE OF THIS PEOPLE STAY ALERT!!!

$BTC $BNB
Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick has recommended buying the dip in bitcoin as the cryptocurrency faces pressure from its growing correlation with the Nasdaq.
"BTC remains strongly correlated to Nasdaq, much more so than it does to gold," said Kendrick, head of forex and digital assets research at Standard Chartered, in a statement to The Block on Monday. Kendrick said a 3% drop in Nasdaq futures, driven by DeepSeek-related news, triggered significant overnight crypto liquidations, reinforcing the link between crypto and tech sectors.
Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 3.3% today ahead of the opening bell, with several tech stocks following suit. Nvidia plunged over 13% in pre-market trading after DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup barely a year old, unveiled its flagship AI model, R1. The model reportedly rivals OpenAI's capabilities while being significantly more cost-effective.
"The risk now is that if Nasdaq liquidation continues during the U.S. session (and ahead of this week's earnings releases — Wednesday sees Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla — and likely disappointing FOMC [Federal Open Market Committee] Wednesday), then we start to approach other key levels for BTC," Kendrick said. "Specifically, the average purchase level for BTC ETFs since the U.S. election now stands at $96,400."
On Trump's crypto executive order
Kendrick also addressed last week's crypto executive order announcement from the Donald Trump administration, which tasks a working group with evaluating a national digital asset stockpile. He noted the announcement added uncertainty to the market.
"The disappointment for me was two-fold," Kendrick said. "1. 'Stockpile' rather than 'Reserve' sounds more like seized assets rather than purchased assets. 2. The executive order is now done and any further clarity/action will have to go through Congress which will take some time."
However, with the Trump administration news now public, Kendrick said the "disappointment/confusion and therefore 'hope phase' is over," reducing bitcoin market risks. The next phase, he said, is to "Buy the dip."
Last week, Kendrick outlined three phases: "when hope dies"; "buy the dip"; and "alt-coin alpha." In the second phase, he predicted institutional money would dominate and reiterated Standard Chartered's price targets of $200,000 for BTC and $10,000 for ETH by the end of the year.
After the second phase begins, Kendrick foresees the start of an alt-coin "light" season. I say light because institutional flows will drive BTC and ETH, partly offsetting rotation into alts. I will look for new ETF winners (Litecoin) and specific regulatory change winners (Uniswap)," Kendrick said at the time.
