I can relate it into this one. Bitcoin is the tree and its hardfork is just a shadow — a shadow that falls behind the object forever and always. Yeah! The shadow could become darker (meaning, become more famous like bch) or could also become lighter (like the other coins you listed) but one thing is for sure it will never outcast the tree. The tree is the origin and shadow will never exist without it. It happens that tree is much more appreciated than the shadow because of the gap between their values. The shadow become beneficial only because of its shade but the tree itself is the source of life; same things apply to btc and its hardforks .

Baka ganun na nga ang mangyari kapag nalaman 'to ng girlfriend ko . Anyway, hindi naman ako maapektuhan kasi may sarili naman syang bitcoin so okay lang din lol.

Anyway, hindi na ako masyado surprised dito sa news na ito dahil may nakita akong post sa facebook ng isang local clothing line na nagaaccept ng bitcoin payment on their lazada account. What I'm curious about is that a fixed option for us or not? I mean sa lahat ng stores ba ay pwedeng magbayad through coins.ph or depende pa rin sa seller kung tumatanggap sila nito or hindi?

Edit: Thanks to GreatArkansas, nasagot na yung question ko .

If I will be asked also, I will definitely disagree to KYC because I hate the feeling of being intimidated. The feeling that someone out there knew that you got lots of money after playing casino and could possibly become a threat in your life assuming that he got bad intentions (who knows?). I think another reason why it seems everyone hate KYC is because casinos before was able to run even without this stuff and got no problems at all then what would be the difference of including it now? Is it really big? I don't think so, actually i see that disadvantages weigh more than its benefits . The bottom line, KYC is unnecessary.

What's the sense? They are private sectors which also have their own specific rights. Besides, as long as such companies are paying the appropriate taxes based on their net profit then there's should be no issue at all. If you are worrying that maybe someday these companies might become even bigger and rule over the US (for example) then stop because it is impossible to overpower the government. Yes! They can monopolize the field of their expertise but that's it, in the end they are all countrymen which are all under government's authority.

For now, I'll go for bitcoin since fresh graduate pa lang ako at wala pang trabaho (kailangan pa mag board eh ). Yun pa lang kasi ang investment na kaya ng bulsa ko pero once na nakapagtrabaho na ako and start saving more money balak kong maginvest sa stock market particularly to Jollibee Foods Corp. And SM investments Corp. .

I hope you succeed on encouraging someone to enter crypto world unlike to me which is a failure . I once became active persuading my classmates and friends to invest on btc as well but unfortunately I end up getting declined. I encourage again and they refuse again, the cycle goes on and on 'til I get tired that's why I become quite about crypto talks uneless someone open up. Selfish as it seems but for me it's not.

I'll go with Kuku and the gang . I do believe that they're not an easy opponent and considereded as a threat for other teams since they able to beat OG before, remember? I'm just hoping that Kuku can now moderate his trashtalking habit or else he will get banned again lol, he would be a big loss for his team if ever. The TI9 will be held on China so they must be more careful because for sure that the majority of the crowd will be looking at them.

Short but quite inspirational story. You've made the right decision to continue walking on the path you've chosen. The trail would not definitely as smooth as you imagined but I know that it is all worth it when you succeed. Pain and losses were not pure miseries, actually they are blessing in disguise because they make us stronger investor and a person in general. There's a saying "What doesn't kill you make you stronger" .

I also lost a lot of money before (around $140 worth of btc) and I was so very upset because I'm facing a financial crisis that time. That amount already means a lot to me and I lost it for being greedy. Fortunately, I was able to survive my 4th year college even without it and here I am still trusting to crypto. I already learned a lesson and I'm doing my best for me to not commit the same mistake again.

The anime character used in the picture was already enough to represenst what OP's situation is like. If you are familiar with One Punch Man, he (Saitama) is the protagonist of it. He is just a weak normal guy at the beginning but started to dedicate his life on training and now become an invincible hero. His enemies only need to get one punch in order to be defeated .

Have you heard about Telegram game channels? Kung talagang ang hanap mo ay yung maglalaro ka tapos pag may naaccumulate ka ng kita sa laro ay pwede mo na itong iconvert to btc (usually) then ito na ang bagay sayo. I have tried this as well during my newbie days pero narealize ko na sobrang tagal bago makapay out so tinigil ko din lol. Here are the list of games that I've tried before,

Cash Farmbot
HouseMoney
Dino Park Game
Pirate Bay

However, hindi ko pa rin na poprove kung paying ba talaga ang mga ito (dahil nga itinigil ko ang paglalaro). Extreme caution! I advice you to do further research before trying these. Good luck .

Let's hope so. He mustreally change his attitufe in order to fulfill his job but I think he can do that . When it comes to knowledge and experience, there is no problem at all since Tim and his team made into championships couple of times already so managing crucial situations like this would be easier for him now. Thus, I agreed for Spurs' decision to make him their new assistant coach not yet mentioning the fact that some of their players became his teammates as well so harmony of leader-follower relationship remain intact.

I hope Manu will become part of the coaching staff someday too .

Oh knowledge? Then I think that "knowledge" is the thing which keeps Mayweather to stay in his place compared to Manny which is getting more and more respected by the people as time goes by. Yeah! No doubt that Floyd had a very high fighting IQ because he knew how the match will be scored that's why he is always playing safe. He do some few punches, evade and then repeat which is a good strategy but he must also consider the audience because they are the source of his living first and foremost. He should mind that they bought tickets to watch an action packed match and not a fighter who always jog around the four corners of the ring .

The difference between Manny and Floyd I think is the gap between the good memories they left on their fans. Even though Manny lose sometimes, people still appreciate it because of the intensity and hype produced by the match unlike to him that who just win by boring unanimous decisions.

Oo naman, I'm pretty sure na lahat naman tayo ay napagdaanan na yan. Though it was normal hindi ibig sabihin nito ay dapat natin ipag walang bahala ito sapagkat makakasanayan natin. Kung may madelete na post sa atin then find out why (like what have you said) kasi kung hahayaan nating ganun then there will be no improvement at all. Andun pa din yung habit of bad posting dahil mas pinili mo na hindi itama ang pagkakamali.

That is why reporting to mods is very important regarding this matter. Kaunti ang mods para totally malinis ang bawat sulok ng forum na ito kaya lubhang vital ang mga good members na tulad natin para maisagawa ito. It's our duty to report a particular post if it strongly violates a rule, huwag na sana natin hayaang bumalik ang toxicity na bumalot dito especially nung hindi pa naiimplement ang Merit System because it really sucks, yung feeling na nawawala na ang essence of being a forum where all of its members interact with sensible discussions dahil tila ba naging malaking spam area na lang itong forum.

Since nabanggit ko na yung pagreport sa mga mods, I think isa din yun sa mga dahilan kung bakit tayo nadedeletan ng post (just based on my own experience ). One time kasi ay may pinuna akong member sa international board na nag necropost, imagine almost one year ang gap ng post niya at last reply  . After ko magreply on the same thread patungkol sa violation nya, several minutes lamang ay hindi ko na nakita yung post ko sa history ko which means na nadelete ang buong thread. Honestly, I didn't felt bad that time but happy instead. Hindi na baleng madelete yung post ko because at least nakatulong ako somehow sa paglinis ng forum .

Scared? Of course I will feel more than that because it is so devastating to lose all of your coin in a glance. It is like feeling broke and helpless at the same time and you don't have any choice but to move on, that sucks .
Yeah, you're right! If such coin got its own wallet then it should be the one which you will use above any options out there. However, if it's not then I also see no threats of using online wallets as long as it was proven legit and already running for a long period of time. The best example is MEW.

My whole life is a lie . Nevertheless, I'm glad because there is someone who stand out and become successful despite of histories of failures. The best we can do is to preserve what Satoshi started so let's continue using bitcoin and hope it will last forever .

Probably mjglqw's posted link is what you are talking about. I will definitel read this later.

That's right! Hindi naman porke hodler ka ay hindi mo na mararamdaman ang mga nasabing emotion, nararamdaman pa rin pero mas mild na lang dahil nga wala kang hinahabol na price and time kung kailan dapat magbenta. You just freely go with the flow of market and wait for your definition of ATH. Kagaya ko na lamang, hindi ako masyado apektado ng mga hard dips from time to time kasi may sarili akong timeframe na sinusundan and sarili kong prediction ang pinaniniwalaan ko. Since I believe na -ber months ang most possible time na rumagasa ang bull (I hope so ) then yun ang time na baka magwithdraw ako. Pag 'di pa rin ok then magaabang ako hanggang Dec. to Jan. pero pag patuloy pa rin ang negative market then I will continue hodling since hindi ko pa naman talaga kailangan ng pera .

IMO hat he meant is that investing with bitcoin and his holdings is the thing which he will use for buying a new house. I guess he just fail to pick the right word, much better if he used "invest" instead "buy" .

Anyway, I also want to buy a house using my btc not only because of the money you can save but also the mere fact that you are now being a part of crypto adoption. It's so fulfilling for sure. By the way, if you are living in the Philippines and want to buy one then better check this out.

Aside from its look, I have a strong feeling that another reason why they refused to invest is because of its name. You know what I mean and it is pretty obvious, Sero sounds like zero whoch means no value at all . Anyway, I felt bad for them because they didn't listen to you. Another opportunity to earn is wasted *sigh.
I must admit that it was a good jump. I'm pretty sure that early investors of it are now celebrating for the profits they've made. Actually it's ATH up to this moment reach $.42+ which means greater money for those who grab at the time when this happened. As up to date, it's price is now going up once again and now currently $.29+ so it is not too late for the risk takers to invest. I'm just hoping this wasn't just a new pump and dump coin. Good luck and happy earnings to everyone .

Oh, I wasn't expecting that! I never thought it would be that huge . Sad to say but AFAIK there is no specific agency which primarily deals with all the cases regarding crypto however for sure police authorities of each country have their own cybercrime division handling with these stuffs. But honestly, I think it wasn't enough.

Anyways, as a crypto investor we should not fully depend our own welfare to our government/others. Our money is our own obligation so we are supposed to take care of it first and foremost. I know that scammers are getting smarter nowadays but this will not be a valid excuse, we must become wiser as well.

Ah, I see. Welcome to our little local board, I hope you are enjoying and learning new things during your visit here .
Chill bro, DarkStar_ might get triggered. Buti andito tayo sa loob ng local board natin kasi for sure maraming Chinese keyboard warriors ang mangba-bash sayo dyan sa labas. Ayaw mo naman siguro ma-ban dito kagaya na lamang ng nangyari kay Kuku sa Chingchong ay este Chongqing Major, right? Lmao (jk, peace!).

Both sides got their good points. Tama si finaleshot2016 for pursuing to have our local board a new merit source kasi pra naman talaga ito sa future ng board natin. Kung may karapat dapat naman talaga then I think there's nothing wrong for grabbing the opportunity, right? He/She would be another pride of our country if ever man and besides mas mapapabilis nito ang pagdistribute ng smerits which is okay for me. May kasabihan nga tayo, "The more, the merrier." . 

On the other hand, tama din naman si cabalism13 for pointing out that we don't even need a new merit source right now because the real issue here is the lack of productive posters. Well, totoo naman sinasabi nya. Napapansin ko rin na tumatamlay na naman ang Local board natin but I never lose hope as long as may nakikita akong nage-excel.

Instead na mamili lang ng isa, why don't we inspire all of our fellow to make even more quality posts and encourage someone deserving out there to pass a merit source application? I guess wala namang mawawala, actually win-win situation pa nga . Anyway, aside from the members you suggested, I think asu or sheenshane might be a good choice as well (just my own opinion).

Huwag naman sana kabayan, alam ko naman maraming existing mediocre posts dito and most of them are really a product of lazy members with "Okay na yan, basta may post" attitude but I still do believe na marami pa din sa mga kababayan natin na nageexert talaga ng effort. It just happens that most of them got the same perspective or hindi lang masyado magaling sa grammar that's why their posts seem spam/shitpost.

Hanggat maaari talaga ayoko rin magreport ng kababayan natin because I felt betrayal. So ang ginagawa ko na lang ay nagbibigay ng tips/advice and wishing na hindi na nila uulitin yun. Pero kung talagang sumosobra na or the mistake he committed is definitely punishable then doon pa lang ako nagrereport. Let's be more compassionate and understanding mga kabayan .

So it means that you are not really a Filipino but a foreigner who can understand our language? Honestly, I'm getting confused right now because I thought you were from the very beginning lol.

(Sorry for the off topic)
