10521  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Cebu City for digital nomads on: December 18, 2019, 05:17:06 PM
Pretty much almost everywhere in the Luzon(probably not Visayas and Mindanao for safety reasons, rebels and stuff) area is great as long as you don't go too deep into the province, as you might have problems with internet speed/stability.

My tips:
  • If you like the city life, then go to somewhere in Manila or Cebu.
  • If you like to stay in the province but still want access to some malls and such, go to the Pangasinan province.
  • Baguio City if you prefer colder weather.

Cebu is a good pick though. Huge ass city with a great provincial area.

It's almost always a good time to buy bitcoin if you're bullish in the long term anyway. Stop trying to time the markets, as chances are, you're going to be bit in the bum.

I think it's a good time to buy RIPPLE. it's the lowest price we've seen in forever!
I sure hope hope this is sarcasm.
10523  Economy / Speculation / Re: The real reason BTC price has dropped on: December 18, 2019, 05:10:36 PM
? ? ?

You can literally make the exact same example, but with an upwards price. It's just that this time the case is that the price lowered. Watchumean boi.
10524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Simple Structure To Look At Decentralized Projects on: December 18, 2019, 04:22:17 PM
If you really want something to actually be truly decentralized, unfortunately, people will really be able to use the platform for "bad" things. Because, how can you stop them in the first place? Who decides if your transaction was for an illegal thing or not? If someone has the power to decide and cancel/block your transaction, then it is really not decentralized. Hence, why people are able to use bitcoin for bad things, because it's decentralized.

Now, is that a bad thing? That people are able to use bitcoin for bad things? Sure! But are we going to shun bitcoin just because bad people are able to use it? Of course not! Whatever the technology, bad people can take advantage of. Cars for getaway vehicles, phones for stalking and bomb detonations, and the list goes on.
10525  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any working sites to buy cigarettes with BTC on: December 18, 2019, 03:50:58 AM
Did a quick search on Amazon and they actually do sell cigarettes, surprisingly. While you're probably not going to find the brands you like, as the ones I'm seeing are "herbal" and "nicotine free", you might want to do quick searches on brands you like. And just order them through sites like Purse.io so you can pay with bitcoin instead.

Probably not the best suggestion but yea.
10526  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin dips below $6600 ,contract trading, the best way to speculation??? on: December 18, 2019, 03:42:39 AM
When you say contract trading I assume you mean leverage trading, through longs and shorts and such.

Anyway, sure! You can short bitcoin on leverage exchanges like BitMEX, and potentially make money when the price drops. If you think it's that easy though? You're wrong. Majority of people trading bitcoin/cryptocurrencies lose their money, and especially when trading on leverage. You might as well go to a casino instead.
10527  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Mga risks ng paghawak ng stablecoins(USDT,TUSD, etc) on: December 18, 2019, 03:40:37 AM
May sariling purpose din kasi ang mga stable coins at merong mga investors at traders na mas pinipili nilang isave sa stable coin yung mga kinita nila para mas madali silang maka-buyback. Maganda yung pagkakaliwanag tungkol sa stable coins ni op kaya lang yung iba hindi na pinipili pang I-convert sa stable coins yung mga crypto nila. Idagdag ko lang din na meron akong nabasa na stable coin na bumaba yung presyo ng hamak sa $1 at $0.9.

Wala naman talagang masama sa stablecoins. Hindi lang talaga suggested na hawakan ang funds through stablecoins in the longterm, due to the risks. Completely understandable na humawak ng stablecoins pag daytrader ung tao kasi mataas rin trading volume at liquidity ung USDT on most exchanges.
10528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Do Women Want? More Educational Materials Before Investing in Bitcoin on: December 18, 2019, 03:39:07 AM
Let's say that right now that mostly men are investing in bitcoin but I can see that if more women discovered bitcoin, they will be more good at investing and handling their btc than men.

Ehh. Let's just remember that every person has their own knowledge and experiences that can affect their own investment decisions, regardless of sex/gender. Tongue
10529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Do Women Want? More Educational Materials Before Investing in Bitcoin on: December 17, 2019, 04:44:21 PM
There is no difference between both we have the same brain. Perhaps they have less time compared to men. I'm all for gender equality, but it's not something natural in some cultures.

Ehh my guess that if the "report" was actually legit, the women that were asked in this case were simply just uninterested(besides the risks of investing in a highly volatile asset). They're uninterested with probably the same reason why more men are more interested in tech rather than women(based on employment in tech industries).
10530  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Recommend trading strategies sites on: December 16, 2019, 10:31:16 PM
My suggestion: I'm definitely not a pro trader per se(definitely nothing close), but I've did a bit research on the past. I suggest going to TradingView[1], click on Indicators, then do research on the list(yes, it's a lot) and look for strategies you can use using these said indicators.

Best of luck.

"93 percent of the women surveyed said they’d be more open to investing if they had more educational resources available to them"

I think there's ample of material concerning cryptocurrencies out there though, it's just that the good content isn't just compiled into one website. They simply just need to know where to look. I think this is just the case that men are probably(?) more willing to invest on risky things than women. Just as how men are more likely to do risky things/activities in general.
10532  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I start earning BTC? on: December 16, 2019, 12:55:21 PM
Bitcoin is basically internet money. And how do you start earning money? Yep. Through jobs, businesses, or gigs. You simply need to accept bitcoin(and not fiat) for your products and services.

Also, bitcoin "investment platforms" and "cloud mining" sites are purely BS.
10533  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is buying bitcoin using ewallets like Paypal safe? on: December 16, 2019, 12:52:05 PM
Why would you want to use a questionable service like PayPal, when you can use an exchange like Coinbase, and you can control the price you pay for the coins.

My guess: OP wants to buy bitcoin online, without letting his bank know about the transaction. Whereas you can use PayPal fine(mostly, if your account doesn't get locked for crypto transactions) if you aren't transacting like thousands and thousands every month.
10534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP BUYING BITCOIN NOW!!! This coin is crap on: December 16, 2019, 11:14:46 AM
Ah. The classic China controls Bitcoin argument. Because the Chinese miners are incentivized to harm bitcoin right? It would definitely be a great idea to attempt to control an asset that would undoubtedly drop in price if there was actual "control" through mining happening. Because they'd want bitcoin's price to drop right? It's not like generating bitcoin and selling them is their actual income.. /s

Also, miner =/= mining pool.
10535  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Mga risks ng paghawak ng stablecoins(USDT,TUSD, etc) on: December 16, 2019, 09:57:31 AM
Palagay ko, mas delikado pa ata humawak ng stablecoin keysa mag lagay ng sarili nating pera sa bangko kasi pag nagloko yung kompanyang humahawak ng stablecoin, o i subject sila ng Government regulations, o ano pa mang kadahilanan, maliit lang yung tsansa na maprotektahan tayo kasi kulang yung mga batas na magsisilbing proteksyon natin - kahit pa mag declare sila ng bankruptcy, mahihirapan tayong habulin sila.

Yan ang mga kahinaan ng isang sentralisadong organisasyon, nasa ilalim tayo ng kontrol nila, o puede silang makontrol ng Gobyerno at gawin kahit anong gusto nila. Imho.

Exactly my point. Knowing na ung Tether pa, which is ung biggest stablecoin na meron tayo ngayon, e nagkaroon ng liquidity issues. So di talaga natin alam kung gaano ka honest/dishonest nung kompanya. Safer parin talaga ang pera sa banko.
10536  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Profitability of Trading Bots on: December 16, 2019, 09:49:52 AM
Trading in bots must be profitable if possible when the market is good and if the pairs of bots are put under market conditions like this it might not be good because prices are still volatile.

A good trading bot doesn't necessarily need good market conditions to make money. A good trading bot would make money regardless the direction the market is going to. Also, volatility is mostly actually good for traders, as there are more opportunities to make(and of course, lose) money. Bitcoin's volatility is actually the one that often attracts traders outside actual bitcoiners.
10537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I earn bitcoin for developing bitcoin core? on: December 16, 2019, 09:43:56 AM
You either:

1. Accept donations through GitHub, through platforms like Patreon, or by simply adding your bitcoin wallet address on your social media/GitHub profile(s).
2. Get hired by a company/org like Blockstream or Chaincode Labs.
3. try to get hired by another company not associated with the same central devs.. you know to try diluting the dev centralisation a bit

chaincode labs and blockstream are too centralised they pretend to be 2 companies but the founders of both are commonly in the same group all the time.

Well, sure. Applying to a different development company would surely be better in terms of spreading out the manpower like you said, but I don't think I would automatically assume and conclude that these two companies are actually 1 company pretending to be 2 companies just because their CEOs are commonly in the same group. I mean, they're both bitcoiners, so it really wouldn't be surprising for them to be in the same groups/conferences.
10538  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stable coins and Liquity problem on: December 16, 2019, 09:33:40 AM
sume OP wants to hold stablecoins in a way that he wants to hold fiat(or something non-volatile), but at the same time without the government knowing of the money. At least that's the only excuse I could think of of holding stablecoins in a mid-long term timespan.
Yes That's what Everybody want

I can completely assure you that that's not what everybody wants. People hold bitcoin for a reason- for something decentralized and permission-less, and at the same time, almost guaranteed to drop more or less 2% annually. I personally rather hold actual USD than stablecoins.

The profitability of trading bots simply differ from bot to bot, as they have their own indicators and stuff. And yes, trading bots can definitely be very profitable, assuming that the user of the trading bot knows what he's doing in the first place, by tinkering it and making it better as time goes.

I have recently set up a bot and have been astounded by the operability of it. It's actually working lol.
If the bot you set up is currently doing really well, great. Good job. But don't assume that it will work great forever. This is a common mistake with trading in general, that could potentially end up burning the trader. Just a heads up.
