It has a huge effect on our country the same as the other countries. Even though the infrastructures start their operation again, we are still facing a hard time recovering the economy. Due to the messy decision making of our government, there are so many mistakes that have been done that's why our country's economy is not in good shape.
1882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying food or groceries with Bitcoin on: July 20, 2020, 02:02:42 AM
Transaction is a factor because there is delay sometimes but it is not the major reason why many merchants are still not preferred to accept bitcoin as mode of payment. In groceries, customers want faster payment system and I think it is the reason why they now prefer to use digital currencies. The volatility of the bitcoin is the main factor why store owners are still doesn't want to accept bitcoin in their system because they understand the risk and how will price affect their business.
Yes, setting aside the slow transactions, because even if it does not send instantly, the positive thing about having bitcoin as payment is it is irreversible. I agree with you that the volatility might be the main factor why businesses do not want to accept bitcoin because even the slightest change in price will make them lose some of their money.

I have also seen this because of their ads, and that is when I know that this is the previous MCO. MCO is a project that was also launched in this forum, it was a success and many actually supported the project. This may be a legit project but you should conduct more research and do not invest so easily.

Do not believe it.

It is not possible to earn $1000 or more using free money. That guy is lying or he might have invested his own money and created the impression with his friends that he is playing with free money.
Yeah, it is hard to believe that he won that much money by only playing free plays. Unless he can show us some proof of his withdrawal that can prove that he actually win using free money and not invested his own money to win that much.

I can't just say that all of the people are just a scheme of the government. There are a lot of families lost here, people tending with the virus that died and I don't think they are just a "political game". You relatives are following protocols and taking care of themselves. This is not a joke nor a game, it is a pandemic.
And we can't tell whether if this COVID-19 was really planned or a man-made virus by China. But yes, this is not a political game, it cost so much not only in one country, but the whole world is suffering due to this pandemic. Maybe his relatives are not suffering by now, he should be grateful, but now one is still safe from this virus.
1886  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They say hardware wallets are the safest on: July 17, 2020, 12:32:19 PM
Why do they say that? Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't, hardware wallet, a hardware like usb, that generates private keys without being online on the internet?

Why do I not like them? Because, in addition with a txt file that you can encrypt with many ways and save it in many places, if your hardware stops working, you're a dead man. And you're going to fix it somewhere? Not that recommended. If you're a paranoid of course.

Prove me wrong, by not telling me the cons of software wallet. Prove me wrong, by telling me the pros of hardware wallet.
If your hardware stops working, there is an option where you can restore your wallet from the recovery phrase. Maybe you don't fully know hardware wallets that's why you don't like it or maybe you still don't get one to try if it is really the safest or not.
1887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Three phases bounty distribution on: July 16, 2020, 11:45:36 AM
There are disadvantages for bounty hunters if this will be implemented in every project.
-The value of it in the market will surely decrease over time.
-It is possible that the upcoming payments of bounty hunters to receive won't arrive.
-The money that they are expecting won't be received in full.

These are some of it, I have experienced this before and it is not good for bounty hunters. Also, bounty hunters are not the one who's at fault for the dump of coins in the market, they only hold a little amount of token from the total supply (around 1-5%). I don't think that it will highly affect the market price.
1888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trying to recover funds from bitcoin scam on: July 16, 2020, 10:59:27 AM
I suggest you to not invest on such sites anymore and to never give personal details of your transactions or crypto currency balances to strangers.
When you have an issue like that to solve, look for trusted people to help you, that is very important.
There is a lot of scammers around trying to re-scam people who has been scammed recently, as they were an easy target for their shady approaches... Stay alert and don't even reply messages like that. Let scammers talking by themselves.
I agree. It is not recommended to ask random people just to ask for them to help you. There are lots of scammers around, they are always in the corner waiting for someone to become their victim. It is best to not to trust anyone so easily and avoid doing transactions so easily.
1889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BetBit Casino Gone? on: July 16, 2020, 10:14:13 AM
Does anyone have any information about this?
Unfortunately, seems like no one knows any information regarding BetBit. Even in their official thread, there is no update, the same as their support, no one is answering. I am afraid that they totally shut down because of its quite some time since they became active.
1890  Economy / Economics / Re: How long will it take banks to phase out physical cash completely? on: July 13, 2020, 07:41:06 AM
The government can easily phase out physical cash if they want to, and if all people would agree to this. But the problem is, it won't be easy to do that for now, knowing that millions of people are still dependent and highly relying on paper money. Moving to digital cash needs a lot of time and preparation because not everyone affords digital cash and payment.

Many places and countries are getting left behind when it comes to technological adoption so digital cash isn't accessible for them. Even with the pandemic, I don't think the government will find it as a reason to phase out physical cash. Even with the virus spreading, we can't deny that majority are still using paper cash in day to day transactions because it's much convenient. Completely adapting to the digital method will take us a long time before we can see that.
It is only if the government will actually wants to do it. The government might be the first one to object to this topic, even if we are developing and seems ready to do cashless transactions, I really doubt that the government will allow this to happen, they might probably disagree of phasing out physical cash if this was discussed.
1891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Always look at the coins MAX supply on: July 13, 2020, 06:50:31 AM
In my opinion, the quality of the coins is prioritized, there are also many coins which have a large supply and are able to compete with the top coins today such as DOGE Coin.
I think doge is different from the new projects that have the large supply, doge is an old coin and we can't deny that this is really a quality coin. But those who are a newly built project that has a large maximum supply, I doubt that they can compete with top altcoins in the market.
1892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 13, 2020, 05:48:18 AM
Whenever I play gambling I only use bitcoin, even though the fee is much higher than using doge or xrp I still use it. I just don't feel like using another crypto than bitcoin when it comes to playing gambling, but maybe in the future, I'll try using those altcoins that has lower transaction fees.
1893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't this the best time for Bitcoin? on: July 13, 2020, 05:05:40 AM
I don't think so, bitcoin is yet to be accepted in many countries. Also, there are already a number of ways on how you can do transactions without using fiat. People are already having transactions online through the use of online services such as Paypal, I don't think that people will just use bitcoin because of the said reason.
1894  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Know what you getting into on: July 13, 2020, 04:18:07 AM
Making ethereum and xrp as an example is what we really should understand and realize that even if there are some people who say that a certain coin is a shitcoin we should still make our own judgement whether it is really a shitcoin or not.
1895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: July 13, 2020, 02:24:35 AM
Why it would all start in CHINA, first it came from BAT, now this virus says it came from PIGS, maybe I should refrain myself from eating pork, lol.. I'll ship to be a vegetarian now just to be safe with this kind of disease. But anyway, we don't have to worry for that, once our experts find a cure for the covid-19, then I don't think they'll not be able to find a cure of the new disease that will come.
That is the biggest question of all, why it would all start there. After the coronavirus, this is the next problem that the world might be facing. Maybe this is because of their tradition of eating anything, no one can actually explain or if this is a man-made virus.
1896  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the US economy suddenly recovering? on: July 12, 2020, 04:08:46 PM
I agree with you.
All of us had suffered big losses and even though US has a lot of resources but I can't think they can recover shortly. In fact, many experts say that the global economic status will be getting worse if the situation won't start to flatten. The more this virus spreads, the more it prolongs the recovery of the economy. It surely US will recover sooner (the same with the others) but not this time and not a good idea for them to fully resume business operations and lifestyle in order to make a huge recovery otherwise the crisis will still continue and it getting worse in their place.

Not only US had suffered but the rest of the countries are totally affected by covid 19 pandemic. But since most of the lockdows are already lifted, people are starting going out and those who have still jobs to return are already working again. I am expecting this already that US economy will still recover but not as quick like this. Country might not even recover even a year after but i'm glad that things are starting to go back to its new normal.
Yes, even those rich countries are affected by covid-19. And as you have said, they are now starting to go back to normal even with the alert of the pandemic. The economy is starting to recover as many business establishments are open again.
1897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What was your experience trading cryptocurrency? on: July 12, 2020, 03:37:22 PM
What I experienced in trading for my first time is I have limited knowledge about what trading is, so, the outcome of my trading is not that good. Though, I already expected that since I don't have any experience yet, but that failure really helps me a lot to keep on learning more about trading.
1898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be caught unaware on: July 12, 2020, 03:13:11 PM
What makes you think you can make a lot of money when you invest 10 $ for a coins?  Even the price will increase to x10 you Will  only gain 100$ from your 10$ investment And in fact, it is difficult to repeat the increase of price of altcoins and  give good return from older coins. Meaning even if we are in bull market  the 10x increase is not yet possible and its too hard to happen.
I think what he meant by that is to those people who do not believe that the next bull run will come or to those people who do not want to risk their investment. They can try to invest at least $10, by that, even if they invested only a few bucks, they can still make a profit when the next bull happens.
1899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CS:GO and Betting on: July 12, 2020, 02:35:08 PM
Do you think this will cause any ups-downs in the actual result of the matches?
Yes, as you have said, the mentioned teams are bad when it comes to playing online than their actual LAN gameplay. There are so many differences and difficulties for them, the actual result may actually be changed depends on how they will handle their difficulties right now.
1900  Economy / Economics / Re: Rise in US unemployment. Thoughts? on: July 12, 2020, 02:43:59 AM
In arab countries also the condition is same, they are evacuating foreign people to give opportunity for their citizens.Yesterday a local media reported that 800K people lost their jobs in Kuwait and they will be returned to the native region in real soon.Most likely Indian are affected due to this visa cancellation because they are the people who work on every sectors of different countries.
Okay, but in USA as for employing foreign workers, I think the reason they are stopping that for now is to prevent people from bringing in the coronvirus to their country. They already have lots of cases and I think they are the country with the highest number of Covid19 cases. So inviting people from other countries where there are same cases, will only add to their problems at this time.
Countries still employ people to work for them remotely. I have worked for a few companies/small businesses in the US without stepping foot there. I was just at home delivering all the jobs they want me to do. So, that's how it is.
Well, they don't have any other choice but to stop it and it is an advantage to at least prevent the continuous increase in number of infected people. But this is also a disadvantage for them since local worker fees is much higher that the foreign workers, we all know that they have cheap fees than the local one. There are lots of disadvantages but if this is the best thing they see right now, I think it is good enough to help the country to slow the increasing number of the covid 19 cases.
