- **Have you ever pondered which of these communities might be the most notorious for dubious dealings?**
Yes, it is, regrettably, the Arabic-speaking community. There exists a cadre of crypto enthusiasts—some from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, along with others from Syria, Egypt, Morocco, and other locales—who lead the charge.
Interestingly, in this community, a certain kind of scamming seems almost formalized. A myriad of self-proclaimed gurus with minimal expertise don themselves in the robes of technical analysis wizards. They preside over Telegram channels, charging exorbitant fees—typically more than $ 150 a month—dispensing trading tips that are, at best, questionable and at worst, financially perilous. This is quickly apparent to anyone with a modicum of market experience.
Others orchestrate channels focused solely on short and long positions, leveraging the significant liquidity of their Kuwaiti, Saudi, and Emirati counterparts to manipulate market values. The channel operators strategically position themselves before issuing a call to action, reaping profits from their ill-informed yet hopeful followers.
Spread the word during these buoyant market times; it's the peak season for the emergence of swindlers, preying on the influx of new entrants to the market!

- sharing my thoughts from twitter discussion to here!
lens built the most innovative tech stack for building social but not having excellent UX in any of the lens apps was one of the reasons users didn't stick to the apps!
we quite realized this early on and did many user interviews to find out users who stay still found @orbapp decent UX best across all the apps!
but we knew we could easily change this and make it at least 10x better or more, so for the last few months we went back to the building and built the new app from scratch! and i'm super excited to tell you that orb v2 is almost ready and about to launch in the coming weeks!
our major focus in this iteration was proving the excellent ux across the whole web3 social!
can't wait to roll this out already and get your feedback!
thanks to users who did stay and still use the orb every day!
- Sleeping on a bed of leafs..
- The birds are dancing with the waves.
- I was young when the Second Gulf War broke out. I still remember our small house on the outskirts of Baghdad. Planes were constantly hovering over and bombing the city.
Once, an explosion occurred near our house. It shook the building, the doors, and the windows, and the sound reverberated everywhere. Right after that, a piece or two of shrapnel fell into our house. My brother and sister were afraid to touch it, fearing it might be radioactive. At the age of five, I bravely picked up the shrapnel and took it out of the house.
Those were terrifying days. My uncle, a kind and loving man, was killed, which deeply affected my mother's mental health.
In Baghdad, we lived next to a neighborhood with Jewish families. They were kind, supportive, educated, and wonderful people. After a while, they left Iraq, and so did we. After 2003, my father told my mother one evening that there was no longer a place for us in this country. We gathered what furniture we could carry and left Iraq via Kuwait.
Today, I follow the events in Gaza. Tens of thousands are killed and wounded. Children are torn to pieces, men die, women are widowed, children are orphaned, and the world remains silent.
Watching this, I see how ugly the world can be, and how the oppressed can become oppressors.
- The photo is from Baghdad's Qanbar Ali neighborhood, where we lived peacefully alongside Jewish neighbors.
- Just take a picture of it, as it looks quite tempting 😅
Actually, I’m reading the book in its original Persian language.
- Human beings are inherently aggressive and arrogant creatures, tamed by values and laws.
In politics, they brand others as traitors and lackeys, and in religion, they accuse them of heresy and blasphemy.
The bland Andalusian breakfast!
- I showed him this picture and asked, "Who is in the picture?"
He immediately replied with surprise, "But where was this taken of me?"
Your arrival changed our lives. Happy Birthday—may your days be joyful and blessed.
- The memories take me back years, to when we were young and celebrated *Shab-e Yalda,* gathered around a table filled with love and comfort.
May your days be filled with light and extended with radiance. 🕯️📚🍉🍇

- A lady walked past the café, pulling a flock of plastic ducks - or flamingos - behind her.
Some of the patrons asked her about this unusual display. She replied that it was her birthday, and she wanted to celebrate in her own unique way.
The patrons then began clapping and chanting "cumpleaños feliz" *(Happy Birthday in Spanish).*
- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad!
- This is how things end up when your wife asks you to prepare the baby's food!
- Over the past few days, I've observed some new crypto assets on CoinMarketCap. It's quite bizarre—some coins are infused with large amounts of liquidity, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, showcasing high trading volumes and market liquidity. Then, just as quickly, it all evaporates!
My heart goes out to the small fishes caught up in this!
- The risks of theft and fraud in the world of cryptocurrencies are numerous, including contract exploits, phishing attacks, malware, scam messages, exchange hacks, and fake initial coin offerings, among others.
These are well-known dangers, and one must be cautious of them. However, *the real danger lies when a platform like CoinList deceives you and swallows your coins!*
This might be my last message to the support team of this platform. I joined them believing they could lead me to wealth through their initial coin offerings, but instead, I was robbed!
- Insomnia persists. This night seems endless.
I've decided to embark on my first artistic endeavor! 😵💫
- دوش دیدم که ملایک درِ میخانه زدند

”Last night, I saw that angels visited a tavern. Using the wine of soil, they molded the existence of Adam and poured it into a cup“.
I asked the AI to visualize this poetic verse, turning it into an image. It's truly fascinating to ponder what Hafez of Shiraz, the Iranian poet, might have been thinking when he penned this verse.

`When I engage with someone's posts, I don't expect them to reciprocate, especially for those who have to pay gas fees to interact.`
Yes, I typically engage with those who interact with my posts. I hate to leave a good deed unreciprocated. 😇
- خپلوی بیچاره!
Recently, Khipiloo, has become involved with her (the grumpy one sitting behind him). He now displays a peculiar mix of astonishment and bewilderment, as if his newfound companion dominates his life and dictates his decisions! 🥴
- gasmirror.com is great for checking the gas fees spent. Of course, it only supports Ethereum, BNB, and Arbitrum. This is a statistic of one of my wallets.
* Some users need a site that calculates the average gas fees across multiple wallets 😄

- I'm not claiming to be Brad Pitt, but my face isn't that bad either. So where did this little guy get these features, and how did he attribute them to me? 😐🥴
- .4 am, still awake, gazing at the air conditioner. I need to be out by 6, just in two hours!
Insomnia is tearing me apart.
- CoinList deceived me!
About 4 months ago, I sent an amount of Mina to my CoinList account. I initially sent a smaller quantity as a precursor to sending the main amount. Suspiciously, I limited it to 50 tokens (priced at $0.78 each on April 5th), knowing I should test with a much smaller amount.
However, the amount settled in the wallet—as evidenced by the Mina explorer. But, it didn't appear on the platform. I opened a support ticket, asking about the issue. They apologized and assured me they'd look into it. I contacted them again and received another apology, asking for my patience while they handle the matter—this went on for 9 times. Finally, they reassured me that the tokens are safe! Haha. In reality, the response doesn’t seem to come from a real person but rather an AI-driven automated system.
Today, after 128 days, the amount is still pending. While I'm not particularly concerned about the amount, as it's relatively small, I feel deceived and wronged.
- #NewProfilePic
Love the cartoon-style; it blends privacy with reality. Inspired by the cartoon-style profile pics of @stani.lens.lens and @yoginth.lens.lens :)
- This one is also beautiful, but it can’t compare to Sultan (khipiloo/خپلو) anyway!
- Some dishes undergo slight modifications when adapted from their native environment to a different cultural context. An example is the English Breakfast Bao “英式早餐包”, a fusion of Chinese and British cuisines. Only in a place like London could such an innovation emerge.
By the way, our friend used to say that "bao", which is a type of stuffed Chinese bread, is written like this: 包. But he mentioned that "English breakfast" doesn't have a direct translation in Chinese. I didn't understand what he meant since I don't know Chinese! I hope a Chinese friend here can explain it!

- Dan Romero, co-founder of Farcaster, announced in this cast that the option to send invites will conclude by the end of the weekend (indicating the late hours of the upcoming Sunday), prior to moving to OP Mainnet next week.
I still have 10 invites available, and I prefer not to send them to accounts marked as spam by others. If you're aware of anyone with genuine activity, please inform me so I can extend them an invite.
- درباره اینوایتهایی که امروز بعضی از دوستان دریافت کردن
My Lens profile is on Momoka, and I didn't receive anything today.
Is not receiving an invite a negative indicator? Here's the support team's response:
“About the invite, we are testing this invite system and if we deem it successful, we will distribute more invites to users. There weren't any specific criteria, it was based on a random principle”.
- X (Twitter) suspended my account out of the blue.
It was an account I created back in 2017 and had been active on ever since. The usual charge? Harmful activity! I reached out to their support team, explaining why I believed this decision was a mistake, but as expected, they didn't respond.
The funny thing is, I have some other accounts which are clearly fake, solely created for retweeting as part of various campaigns. I wonder what's up with Twitter's AI algorithms!
I'm saddened. An account with so many cherished memories, gone in an instant!
- Upon leaving the historic Sultanah Zainab Mosque in Istanbul, I was struck by a large tree standing in the road's center before the mosque.
I discovered it had been there since before the road's expansion a century ago. While Istanbul boasts millions of such trees, this one remained untouched, even during road development.
I left saddened by how trees are often neglected and destroyed in my country, harming the environment.
- I don’t smoke cigarettes, in fact, I detest their smell.
However, when I gather with friends, I occasionally enjoy hookah. I got introduced to this experience in Lebanon during my study days there, as it’s not widely customary in the UAE.
Despite being married for years, I haven’t yet disclosed this to my wife. I fear she might not accept it and perceive it as a form of deviance!
Cultures vary, and what’s considered normal in Lebanon or other Arab regions, embraced by both the educated and the general populace, is seen as a flaw and a low act in Tehran!
- آسمون پاره شده
گوشهاش نوشته
هرکی یارش خوشگله
جاش تو بهشته
In the canvas of the sky, a rift did I spy,
In its corner, inscriptions high:
“If radiant beauty in your love does lie,
Then your abode is surely the sky.”
- Old folk song from Shiraz.
- [خانواده|مسئولیت|تسلی]
After marrying who I loved and having our first child, I began to feel the weight of family. As beautiful and joyful as family can be, it also brings a burden of responsibility.
Last night, we went out to a restaurant for dinner, and I found myself constantly preoccupied with taking care of our son, attentive to every move he made. Had I been alone or with friends, I would've felt more free.
Yet, this responsibility towards a spouse and children is the essence and beauty of life. The foundations we lay by embracing these responsibilities in our twenties will bear fruit as we grow older.
As the time comes when loved ones depart, and friends and acquaintances fade, one will lean on their family – their spouse, children, and grandchildren. They become the pillar of support and protection in such times.
- Among the clouds, one day over the Gulf..
- I recall reading that Pontius Pilate, the Judean governor who ordered Jesus Christ's crucifixion, had chronic insomnia which intensified after the crucifixion. Doctors then saw it as a curse linked to Jesus's prophecy and teachings, and a curse upon Pilate.
Despite no connection to Pilate or Jesus, I'm battling severe insomnia. Everything in my life is good – no health or personal issues. Could this be some form of reincarnation, a part of Pilate’s soul in me?
This insomnia isn't just a struggle; it's an ordeal. 3:50 am!
- Two pictures, with a vast cultural difference between them:
The first is of "Kalleh pacheh/کلهپاچه", a well-known dish in Iran and Arab countries.
The second is sushi, which I only buy to post its picture on social media! I don't like it!

When I look at unusual trees, like those, I think of other planets and how their plants and living creatures might differ. They must be entirely different from what we see on Earth.
- *The intoxicated ones greet you/ مستان سلامت میکنند*
Ali Reza Ghorbani and the famous Azerbaijani artist Alim Qasimov sing together in Persian and Turkish verses from Jalaluddin Rumi's *"Divan-e Shams/دیوان شمس"*, accompanied by the sounds of the rebab, guitar, kamancheh, and daf.
The segment speaks of intoxication, referring to self-denial, which Rumi sees as an essential condition for union with God.
This is something Rumi did himself when he adhered to the conditions of Shams Tabrizi, forsaking his social stature and prestige for Shams to accept him as his companion.
- Whenever my wife visits her family in Iran, she sends me daily photos of her meals.
She's sharing her life there and luring me to visit. If she adds GhormehSabzi/قورمهسبزی to the menu, I might just fly over to join her!
- LOL, I support! 😄
- Iranian melodies with Japanese vocals!
Wow, how cool! A Japanese band playing Persian music. They're called "Gosha" and their lead singer's name is "Umi", which means "sea" in Japanese. One of the most unique things I've seen!
