What more for those who are jobless and homeless? They are more struggling than anyone else. And I think in this situation, the government needs to step up and do its job. This COVID really shows the difference between the upper and lower classes. Rich people can easily say that we should stay at home but for those who are less fortunate, they can't stay at home because they need to think about tomorrow.

However, quarantine may not be the solution but it's the best we can do right now while there is still no solution yet. Yes, everyone is struggling but if we just cooperate and follow the protocols given by the authorities, we can prevent getting affected. This virus has affected a lot of people, and even the economy. What I think is that the government's way of handling the pandemic is really important. We can look at other countries, they can handle the virus very well while others are struggling. Sadly, our country is not that good at handling the cases. And now, we also have another problem we are facing. We are being affected by a typhoon and it's harder for those poor people. Let's just hope that this pandemic will end already and that we can rise again.

May 11,2020 ng umabot na ng 11k ang positive cases dito sa bansa natin and 4 days lang ang nakalipas tumungtong na agad ito 12k, sobrang bilis ng pagtaas ng cases. Mukhang sa susunod pa na 4 days aabot na ito ng 13k? At, paano pa ngayon na naging modified ECQ na ang ibang lugar mukhang malaki ang posibilidad na lulubo pa talaga ang cases sa bansa natin. Pansin pa rin naman ang tuloy na paglaki ng bilang ng mga recoveries. Kung patuloy talaga ang pagtaas ng mga cases sa mga susunod pa na mga araw panigurado na maeextend at maeextend pa rin ang ECQ.

Parang matatagalan pa talaga tayo na mareach yung zero new cases dito sa bansa natin dahil sobrang daming makukulit na pilipino na patuloy pa rin na lumalabag sa batas. May mga nakanood naman siguro dito na kabayan about don sa babae na lumabas ng bahay kahit sa lugar nila ay meron hard lockdown na kung saan bawal talaga ng lumabas at ang dahilan nya pa ay may iaabot lang siyang gamit. Nakakagigil lang kasi lumabas sya ng bahay wala pa siyang facemask at siya pa yung galit sa mga pulis. Kung puro ganito nalang ang mangyayari malabo talaga na bumaba yung cases sa bansa natin.

Just like what others say, maybe it's best not to let what other people would say, pressure you. I think it's also like a psychological game when you let them dictate whether you will continue playing or not, it means they're winning over you since they are manipulating you. It's good for you if can handle this kind of pressure very well. But since I haven't experienced it yet, maybe it would be nerve-wracking.

Of course, online gambling is different. You're familiar with the environment and no one would judge you if you want to stop gambling for that day.


I'm kinda an introvert type of person as well. I have never been nor tried playing in a big casino since I don't think you can fit and get used to that environment. I would rather play lowkey online. But it would also be a great experience to play in a real casino.

Tinangka ko kagabi na ang mag download ng GTA V dahil nakita ko sa facebook na ito ay magiging free to download kaya nag antay pako. Pero kagabihan biglang nagparoblema nagkakaroon ng error at almost 30 minutes akong nagrerefresh ng site para lang maka access pero ayaw talaga kaya sinukuan ko nalang. Pero, this time sana maging maayus na dahil gusto ko na rin magkaroon ng GTA V at nakita ko na rin isa ko na kaibigan na nagdadownload na kaya mukhang okay na siguro. Nabahagi naman na ni @asuspawer09 ang dahilan kung bakit nag karoon ng error sa site at kapansin pansin talaga kung gaano karami ang gusto makapag download ng GTA V.

Gambling may be expensive leisure but we have different financial statuses. Obviously, for those who struggle and have lesser income, there would be a negative effect of COVID on their gambling. But for those who are fortunate, they are still capable of gambling even with COVID so they don't have to worry financially.

Personally, I can still afford to buy my needs and still have a little budget for extra entertainment but thinking wisely, I will prefer not to gamble.  I want to use this extra money practically or save this in case of an extended lockdown or emergency. I'm thinking of only going back to gambling if everything started going back to normal. So to answer your question, yes, it made me stop gambling for a while since I have my priorities I need to think first than gambling.

Logic Beach, an instrumental, non-verbal techie sounding music group release a new album with a little treasure hunting game as they hid bitcoin in the album.
Herman Felker, the person behind Logic Beach posted on Reddit that he had hidden the seed to a wallet inside his latest album. The amount of bitcoin hidden was 0.03 (+0.02) BTC. He also added that,

He also noted that the sales of his album will be added to the prize, although users can still access the album for free on a site called Bandcamp. According to Felker, the puzzle isn't that difficult, and he's not expecting that this treasure hunting will last that long. He also wanted the winner can share his method on Reddit but if he chooses to be anonymous, that's also fine for him.


Is not this exciting especially for people who love treasure hunting and deciphering codes? In love the idea of how he puts his 12 seed phrase secretly in his latest album and asking people to solve it. What can you say about this?

I may not be a fan and good at this challenge, but it's interesting and this can be also a good pass time while we are on quarantine. I checked his YouTube account, and you can check his album there. And to be honest, I'm not the type of person who likes that kind of music (but I'm not saying it's not good). And what I think, musically inclined people can find the answer to his wallet. If you're interested, you can also check his album

Marami na ang nababahala sa mga biglaang maintenance ng coins.ph at alam naman natin maraming tao gumagamit nito satin at ang iba nagtatago ng malaking pera dito kaya nakakatakot nalang talaga kung patuloy na nangyayari yung biglaan maintenance. Hindi naman ako naglalagay ng malaking funds sa coins.ph at sa kung maglalagay man ako yun lamang ang amount na icacash out ko. Wala pa naman ako experience about sa renewal KYC at palaisipan naman talaga kung magkakaroon ng ganitong pangyayari. Sa ngayon okay naman na ang coins.ph nagagamit ko na ulit ng maayus at yung services nila okay naman na. Tuloy pa rin ba ang kanilang maintenance sa May 16?

I haven't experienced it yet in online gambling. Maybe that's the reason why I prefer and contented with gambling online than interacting with people on physical casinos.

I think that's more difficult to handle when there's people who would laugh when you decided to quit whether you are winning or losing.

But that's one of the purposes why we gamble right? To earn money. And I think it's better than quitting because you have lost all of your money. At least, you can go home with more money.

I guess you are good at handling pressure. Sometimes I like being pressured but not with gambling I guess. I feel like I won't be able to think properly. Especially when you are playing with people you don't really know.

Is there any open slot for the free raffle. I would like to get spot for that.

Thank you!

Magandang step ito para makatulong pa lalo sa project at susuotin ko nalang yung personal text dahil yan lang ang available sakin. Hoping na maraming sumali na mga kabayan natin lalo na yung mga walang signature campaign/project ngayon. Marami na akong nakikita na suot ang mga signature code ng project na ito and hoping na marami silang malikom na funds para mas marami din silang matulungan na bitcointalk users.

I will now wear the personal text of this project! and salute to you kabayan sa simpleng pagtulong mo may blessing na babalik sayo!

In physical gambling (whether it's a big casino or just small gambling), do pressure on your opponents or playmates actually happen? Like for example, you only set a limited capital but since your friends still want to play, you will end up using all of your money. Or let's say in a casino, you have used all of your allotted money on gambling but since your opponent is winning and he wants to play more, do you exceed on your limit? Just because you don't want to look like you are afraid, that you don't have enough money already, and that you are losing?

Since I do online gambling, I don't feel this kind of pressure. I can stop whenever I want or when I have used all of my money. I don't feel embarrassed or what.

PS: I'm not sure if this topic already existed here and if there's I'm gonna delete this thread.

There's nothing wrong and it's good that sports events are slowly resuming again. But of course, strict regulations would be implemented in this event since we are not sure how long this virus will take. Probably even in June, there's still no vaccine yet. So it's better to not allow fans to watch the boxing game live to prevent creating a crowd.

Before doing the event, I bet they have already made a plan to protect everyone and secure their safety. Just like us, they also need to make a living (although they already have so much money). Personally, I see nothing wrong about making this event, as long as they can implement restrictions. Hoping that they won't allow live fans, they could just make it available online or on TV. I believe it's not only them who wants to play again, even other athletes as well.

There's really a possibility that the virus started at a lab. I have read somewhere before that it actually started at Wuhan lab, not at the market where they sell bats and other animals. And that they don't want to investigate further the origin of the virus. But unlike you, I don't think this would also benefit Western. Cause what I can see is that, it's China who will benefit from it. The epicenter of the virus, changed and that China is flattening the curve. You see, while almost all countries are busy battling with the virus, China can make their own movement.

I just don't see that Western will benefit from it since they are greatly affected by the virus. This is affecting its economy badly. And I don't see it's their way to remove all the debts. The more cases will occur in the Western, the harder for them to get back what the economy has lost during the lockdown. It's much harder to believe that China was able to stabilize the spread of the virus in their country only after spreading it across the world.

Well, I don't really know much. And I don't have enough proof to support this, but if this speculation is real, then it's China who's benefitting the most.

Panibagong maintenance na naman ang nangyari sa coins.ph at marami ang nagulat dito dahil alam naman natin nag email sila na magkakaroon ng maintence sa May 16 at nabahagi na rin naman ni @cryptoaddictchie yung picture na tungkol sa maintenance. Mukhang may kaugnayan pa rin ito sa pagtaas ng bitcoin or baka may iba pang dahilan kung bakit nag karoon ng biglaan maintenance. Akala ko noong una wala lang akong load dahil puro loading lang yung app ng coins.ph pero under maintenance na pala.

Makikita na maraming galit sa biglaang maintenance ng coins.ph at puro angry reaction ang makikita mo sa post nila. Miski sa comment section ay maraming nagsasabi ng kanilang reaction about sa maintenance at yung iba may problema sa cash out.

Mukhang hindi lang coins.ph ang mayroon mataas na fee pagdating sa mga transaction dahil sinubukan ko itransfer yung mga kita ko sa campaign na nasa mycelium (mycelium to coins.ph) at laking gulat ko nalang ng makita ko yung fee na umabot ng 1.99$ to 2$+. Mukhang mainam na muna wag magtransfer ng mga funds ngayon dahil sa taas ng transaction fee. At, lahat po ba ng mga transaction lalo na pag bitcoin ay may mataas na fee? then bababa po ba ulit yung fee paglipas ng mga araw?

Starting a business requires a good location. A place with expensive rent means that the location is good enough for a business. Do you think shop owners would agree to pay expensive rent if they are not earning enough?

I may not be familiar with the place and the shops in that place, but maybe there's quite a lot of various shops there where people love to go shopping.  They won't stay there if they are not earning there. It only means that their revenues can handle all of their expenses (rent, utilities, and salaries). And that's how business works. The more people go to that place, the higher its demand for business renting. So, of course, the owner can increase the price of renting there.

I don't think I need to do math or any computations but that's how it works. Even in malls, rent expense there is expensive because it's a good place where people go to spend their money. Same thing for this place.

I have no plan of becoming a professional gambler since I only gamble for entertainment. But for me in gambling, you also need acceptance. Yes, you got the skills, plan, and luck, but if you don't know how to accept losses, your emotions will be a big hindrance to it. Acceptance that not every time you can win. Even professional gamblers experience losing. And that's part of gambling, so if you don't accept losing, you can't be successful in gambling.

I think to be a professional gambler, it requires a good and smart mindset especially when they are in the game. And not everyone can achieve that since there's a lot of gamblers who can't separate and control their emotions. That's why I don't want to be addicted to gambling because I don't think I can handle my own emotion very well.

Nais ko ng subukan ang PI mining na ito dahil curious lang talaga ako kung paano ba ito gumagana. Marami na rin kasi nag aalok sakin nito tulad ng mga kaibigan ko na nasubukan na to pero dahil sa isang thread na nabasa don sa reputation board naudlot ulit yung pagtatangka ko na subukan ito. Tanong ko lang po sa mga nakasubok na nito wala naman naging problema sa mga cellphone nyu? at hindi pa ba ako huli para dito? May nakapagbenta na rin ba ng mga kanilang na mine na token? At nabasa ko rin na kailangan magpasa ng KYC, hindi po ba ito delikado?

Well not everyone is capable of investing since in the very first place, they don't have enough capital to make an investment. Poor people are more vulnerable to be greatly affected by this sudden crisis because they are not prepared. Although it's still hard for them to save money for emergencies, I think saving is still more possible for them than investing.

But for those who are capable, I think this situation is a great lesson for everyone. Saving money is very important. It's having something to withdraw or to get in your pocket in times of crisis. I think some people finally realized this thing. We can't always depend on others' help.

What you have mentioned are for middle and upper classes but for those who are unfortunate, they don't even have enough money to budget everything for their daily expenses.

In my country, we just reached 11 thousand confirmed cases as of this day. We have been in the lockdown for almost 2 months already and there's still a possibility that this lockdown will be extended again. We are also a developing country and businesses and workers had to stop functioning for two months already, yet I can still see that our cases are still increasing day by day. And it might take a little longer before we can stabilize the spread of the virus.

This situation is worsening because people don't have enough money to feed their own families during this lockdown. They have no work, no sources of income, and they are only depending on the government's help. I hope this situation will make the government realize that they should also give attention to research and development, as well as the health care system. Because pandemic does not give warning before affecting millions of people.

Actually, it's not only the third world countries that are suffering because of this pandemic, even developed country such as the U.S. is also struggling to battle with the virus. Let's just hope that this pandemic will cease and everything will be back to normal again.
