tldr; no one knows when the best time to buy is, because no one can predict with pin-point accuracy what will happen to the markets in the first place. If you want to make a short term gamble, go to a casino instead. If you're planning on investing long term, does a $1000-$2000 price difference matter?

Chances are, this is the reason why; or maybe you used those services to hide URLs for your referral link. The chances of the mods/admins deleting your thread "without any reason" is quite low. Regardless how good or bad your content is, if you break one of the rules, then it's bound to get deleted.

Though probably possible, I really doubt big farms would do it though, unless they're going use natural energy, rather than energy from the electricity companies; because I assume it would be pretty difficult to stay hidden from electricity companies due to the huge amounts of energy needed to run the bigger farms. I'm leaning more on them moving to other nearby countries.

I'd say go with this as you wouldn't go past the limit anyway. Not to mention that you'd get better liquidity compared to exchanging your coins via an instant exchange like Changelly, hence most likely ending you up with a better deal.

Yeap. Go with non blockchain-focused programming for now. Start with the basics!

There are lots of free courses online, depending on what language you want to start with first. Check these out:

I'm not sure about the "flight of capital" excuse, but China pretty much took the "hurts the environment" reasoning. Which is quite weirder in my opinion, knowing that based on a few articles China has been pretty much one of the biggest plastic dumpers(in Asia, I think). Their excuse to ban bitcoin mining is pretty much BS to me.

I'm also currently residing in the Philippines kabayan. My advice to you would be to simply do extremely well with your current job, for the hopes of you being promoted in the future. And at the same time, learn a skill online for free like blogging, programming, ecommerce, etc, on your free time instead of drinking almost everyday and playing mobile legends like most filipinos. The only way for you to end up on top, is to simply be better than everyone below you or on your level.

Best of luck.

It's actually around 4.76%. Sorry. Couldn't help it. 

Pretty much. We don't even know if he's alive or dead. But regardless? Taking his funds just to increase the circulating supply is simply just wrong in a moral and ethical level.

Jeebus I swear if people still fall for these types of scams.

I checked the static BTC address[1] on ecentralized-launch.com/binance/btc/index.html? and so far the address received a total of 0.16032912 BTC

Ayun lang. Mejo chambahan kasi yang sa customs na yan. Minsan makatarungan ung sinisingil nila. But anyway, regardless sa shipping fee and customs fees, at least mas sure kang untampered ung device mo. Fingers crossed nalang talaga sa customs fees.

Personally I use the Ledger Nano S. Little to no problems since I bought it approx. 2 years ago. Just go with either Ledger[1] or Trezor[2] dahil sila ung talagang reputable na hardware wallet companies. Heard good things about both naman, so in the end, depende nalang sa personal preference. Desisyon ko lang dati na bilhin ung Ledger kasi mukhang flashdrive, whereas na-weirdohan ako sa itsura ng Trezor dati.

Save yourself from all the hassle and simply do a fresh reinstall of your operating system instead. I'd suggest updating it to the latest version too(probably a good idea to get Windows 10 instead for potentially better security updates). Or better, if you want to explore a bit, try Linux. Preferably, Ubuntu Linux for beginners.

Well, hopefully we get to a day that bitcoin is so easy to use that they won't even need to understand bitcoin and blockchain to be able to use it. Just like how people don't understand the world wide web but they're still able to use it with little to no problems. Hopefully in this lifetime.

I totally get why people are comparing both, as they're indirectly competing in the store-of-value category, but yea, like you said, they can definitely coexist. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

It's like asking if would you get good money if you became an artist or if you took a dentistry degree. It really completely depends on you and how good or bad you'll end up being. There are traders that make a living through trading, and at the same time, there are traders that end up losing money(which is mostly the case).

Exactly my thoughts. Makakatipid ka ng, $20-$40 siguro para sa shipping fees, in exchange for what? Potentially counterfeit products? Na ma-aalanganin ung hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of crypto mo? Nope. Though mababa lang ung chance na makakatanggap pa ng effectively-tampered device, it's still not worth risking in my opinion.

Then actually try learning something that would give you a better job, or something that would make you knowledgeable to run your own business. Like what AdolfinWolf said, those altcoin bounties are a waste of time. Even if you could probably earn small amounts of money off it, what else do you actually earn from it? Pretty much nothing. It doesn't help you mentally and it doesn't help you in terms of knowledge at all.

How is withdrawing 1 million BTC an "attack" on bitcoin? It's Satoshi's money. Let him do whatever he wants with his money. He can spend it all on blackjack and hookers and hell do I care how he wants to spend it.

I agree with most of what you said. But I don't think bitcoin is limited as a payment currency, but also as a store of value(as most people think also). Not because Satoshi said it was made for electronic payments it doesn't automatically mean we should only use it solely for that purpose.

Superior for now solely due to gold's price stability. Imagine bitcoin being stable in price in the future, it would be FAR more superior compared to gold. Just the thought of bitcoin being digital whereas you'd have to store a heavy metal on your home or needing to entrust it to someone; that itself makes bitcoin superior in my opinion. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

It just unfortunately shows how big the number of people here are solely for bounties(most probably more of altcoin bounties) and aren't even to spend a bit of time learning about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. It honestly doesn't even take to be an intermediate/expert to earn a few merits from time to time, but people are complaining on how to earn them. The problem is obviously more on them, rather than being the fault of the current merit system.
