Re: Best options for advertising face to face bitcoin for cash?

You mean transacting, right? Tongue

Another option would be the Mycelium Local Trader[1]. Can't say anything about it though, as I've personally never used it. Though as far as I know, they don't require KYC.

and recently there was a news regarding four investment scam that was offering "double your money within a week", sometimes it is not the scammer that should blame because it is the greediness of the investors, they want to double their investments within a week even the central bank cant do that.

Pretty much. I hate to sort of "victim blame", but seriously, the scams are too obvious that you'd need to be extra greedy and extra delusional to fall for those scams. Some even as bad as claiming to pay you 30% of your deposit every day. Like what.

Not sure dahil di ko pa natry bumili ng BTC sa Binance through credit card, pero pwede naman ata makita ung prices sa Binance diba? So I think madali mo naman atang macocompare ung prices. And yes, malaki talaga fees sa Coins.ph.

It's really simple. Though there's definitely nothing wrong with earning money here(because that should be a good thing), people simply hate spammers; and mostly, it's the newbies and Jr members who do the spamming. Sometimes even going as far as committing plagiarism. Hence they get crap on mostly.
12345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Running BItcoin Core in Dubai on: April 29, 2019, 03:06:47 AM
It should be possible as there are exchanges based there and I checked the list of full nodes and there are three in UAE.

Just to add: if you're paranoid about it, you can run it through Tor.

People are so paranoid these days  Angry , there are a lot of public crypto figures and how often do you hear of them being kidnapped or attacked? never
Being paranoid is not necessarily bad. Remember, better safe than sorry.

For those crypto figures, it's pretty understandable. Being in such a hugely growing industry, and well, it's their career in the first place, so them getting some publicity is really expected. But for the common person? You're publicizing that you hold bitcoin, for what? Just to flaunt them? In exchange for potential issues with criminals? I don't see where it's worth it. If only you know how much death threats some of those public crypto figures get.

Also, just because not everything is being publicized in the news, it doesn't mean that nothing is happening.

I'm not saying its the best idea make all your information public but I don't see life worth living if you are in constant fear and paranoia.  
Boy you should read the news about $5 wrench attacks on crypto holders and traders.

Mejo mahihirapan sya dyan sa ngayon, pero kung sa 777Coin at Bitvest sya mag-aapply may posibilidad dahil may Tier E na sila Hhampuz ngayon. At hindi rin sila ganun kahigpit sa post although iwas spam at post bursting na lang tayo. And iwas sa mga single-liner feedbacks.

...

Yea I agree na mejo mahihirapan ang karamihan. Pero if you really want na siguradong mababayaran ka at in a decent amount of BTC, bitcoin signature campaigns is the way to go talaga, especially ung mga matagal nang tumatakbong campaigns. Yes, may mga lilitaw na campaign na may magandang payouts, pero mas ok parin ung mga stable at consistent na campaigns.

Quality > Quantity. Personally been in the ChipMixer campaign for 1 year and 10 months already.

I'm pretty sure anyone here or anywhere that holds thousands of bitcoins prefer to not expose themselves. That's pretty much just like asking to be kidnapped or to be targeted by hackers.
I was sure of this too until I read the news last year about some Bitcoin millionaire who bragged about it. Well, people robbed him and took all his wallet coins. Don't know what they did but I guess most people if tortured would give up their private keys. I know if someone even breaks my finger I'll give everything! So yeah, maybe just best to hide that you own Bitcoin, especially if it's a lot.

Well, I didn't literally mean 100% wants to be anonymous. There's always those kinds of cocky people who love to flaunt their riches. I guess some people have to learn the hard way.
12349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian Govt thinks Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme on: April 28, 2019, 11:26:43 AM
Let me guess, these Indian lawmakers are probably too old to even understand how a smartphone works? Seriously. Some governments need people who actually know what they're talking about especially in the technology aspect.

From the article:
Quote
The Indian lawmakers have suggested in the bill that there is an urgent need to completely ban cryptocurrencies in the country as it leads to ponzi scams and supports money laundering activities.
They pretty much just went the easy route and simply ban crypto overall. Heavily unfortunate.

May mga tips ba kayo o suggestion para makapag hanap ng maayos na campaign ngayon?

Mag apply lang sa mga reputable bitcoin campaigns na tumatakbo na ng months or years. Significantly lower chances na bigla bigla lang mawawala without ung payout niyo.
12351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone keep their trading capital in btc? on: April 28, 2019, 06:31:14 AM
I personally trade a lot of altcoins, just to increase my funds in BTC, not in USD, as I do trading on the sideline only anyways; Just solely to increase my BTC stack for the long term and not as fiat income.
12352  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I dont think beginners should start with airdrop anymore on: April 28, 2019, 06:13:23 AM
they do little task like follow a twitter page or like a Facebook they mostly dont get the reward

that is not "airdrop" that is a "payment" for a job that they do. the job is small and meaningless (an advertisement of sorts) but it still is a job and they are getting paid for doing it so you can't call it an "airdrop".

This. And also, you're pretty much paying them with your data. Most if not all airdrops require your email, mobile number, and personal information to submitted(though you can fake your personal info), and some even going as far as requiring KYC, which is significantly more dangerous.

If airdroppers think their personal information is worth a few cents(or sometimes worth zero) of shitcoins, then ok.

12354  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will Hit 6000$ Before april last date ? on: April 27, 2019, 04:44:43 PM
$6000 in the end of the month from the current price of approximately $5250 is a 13.33333% price increase in 2 days. If I were to expect $6000 in the short term, then the first quarter of May is more realistic. But then again, we're talking about bitcoin, which frequently surprises us with it's price rises and price drops. Let's see.

As with Tether, I'm definitely not seeing any good news in a while.


P.S. I think you should move this to the Trading Discussion[1] section. The move option is on the bottom left part of this page.

12355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gab wants to make a browser rewarding you in BTC on: April 27, 2019, 03:22:36 PM
I'm so happy to hear about this. I tried Brave for a while. But I have decided that this is not a smooth browser for market conditions.
What device are you using if you don't mind saying? Brave has just been as smooth as Chrome on my Windows and Ubuntu device.

First of all it is not decentralized as it should be!
Gab isn't going to be decentralized either. Not to mention that browsers don't need to be decentralized in the first place, the world wide web should.
12356  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi can a Beginner make Profit? on: April 27, 2019, 02:18:02 PM
There is a lot of "ez money" on the internet if you are smart.  People make millions overnight with a video game or a simple website. I'm not talking about bitcointalk because this is mostly just a discussion site with a little bit of monetary incentive.

People in those fields still need good amounts of knowledge and skill to be able to earn money. It's like saying that online marketers earn a lot of money overnight. True, but it's because of their skills, knowledge, and experience in the field of online marketing.

And yes, even huge Fortnite streamers like Ninja are also great at something. It takes a lot of wit to let your audience be interested in your streams for hours end; which a lot of other streamers are failing to do.
12357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AMA (Ask Me Anything): The current state of Bitcoin in the Philippines 🇵🇭 on: April 27, 2019, 10:59:04 AM

The Philippines in a nutshell. A lot of lazy people that are looking for get-rich-quick schemes instead of actually working hard for them to achieve their goals. This is why we have a lot of pyramid schemes popping up and being advertised everywhere looking at you, frontrow. It's both sad and pathetic.
12358  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi can a Beginner make Profit? on: April 27, 2019, 10:46:57 AM
thank you guys for your Help! I find the signature part very interesting.

It can be a decent source of income if you're from the poorer countries. But take note, it's not going to be easy. You're going to need a lot of studying and research, just as you would need to in other jobs(though of course you don't need a college degree here).
12359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Lightning going to ensure Bitcoin dominance? on: April 27, 2019, 03:25:44 AM
Suite yourself, if your under weight and dont care to much about custodial (we are talking under .2BTC here) LN is doing just fine from my experience.
I'm gonna advocate it no matter what really.
Never said I wasn't for LN, as I'm definitely for it. My point was just that there are no guarantees for it's success. Tongue

But honestly even if LN somehow fails, it will have a successor based on the same concept (Layer 2) I believe Layer 2 IS the answer to the scaling problem, how the final execution will happen is beyond me.
Pretty much. The amount of people who think LN is only bitcoin's solution to the scaling problem is staggering. It's just the very tip of the iceberg.
12360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Lightning going to ensure Bitcoin dominance? on: April 26, 2019, 05:45:49 PM
In due time yes. Simple answer for a simple question

Nope, not guaranteed at all. Though the LN team and the LN wallet makers are definitely doing great and that I'm definitely hoping for LN's success, it's success rate is definitely NOT 100%. We simply don't know yet.
