Dunno, it may sound absurd but I don't think na bad naman siya. Let's do the math here since businesses who don't exceed an income of 250,000 PHP annually aren't included naman. So if we would divide 250k to 12 (250,000 ÷ 12)(12 as a number of months a year). Result is around 20k something. 20k is a big income na per month for typical filipino employees IMO. Considering na ang minimum wage natin na ay 537.00 PHP, and then 'yong kumikita ng equal to 538.00 PHP (na kung iko-compute natin 'yong average sahod nila per month lumalabas na 16k) or above from it ay included na sa mga tax payers (Correct me if I'm wrong). So what's their difference para 'di magbayad After all, for the greater good rin naman 'yon. Basta h'wag lang makurakot nung mga na sa upuan then I think it is fine. 'Cause 'yon lang rin naman lagi problema satin corruption kaya 'di naunlad 'yong bansa natin not to mention 'yong patong-patong pa natin na utang  .

One more thing, I think medyo nakaka-disappoint lang for now kasi may nakasanayan na tayo and medyo new lang 'tong concern nila. Pero imagine being an employee who earns quite above from the minimum wage tas automatic deducted na sahod because of tax then sila who earns bigger than you are free from it, hehe. Not trying to compare the two (employee sa certain company and entrepreneur) but for the sake of being fair in terms of avg income, I think it is not bad at all  .

Damn, mabuti na lang sa taong may alam (which is you) 'yong kaibigan mo pumunta. Kaya never naging masama ang magtanong sa mga bagay na clueless ka or medyo malabo sa 'yo even if it would make you look stupid. One should always know a good deal, and not be comforted with a lie sabi nga nila.

By the way, did you guys report it na ba? Baka mamaya, may iba pang ma-victim 'yon specially 'yong mga madadali ma-persuade sa mga ganiyang bagay lalo na't appealing 'yong return  .

Kokonti pa lang siguro mga nagke-came across sa Bitflex, so it might indicate a good thing. Either way, it is good to have this here kaysa wala  . Let's just hope na lang na wala sana ma-fall sa ventures nila.

Done! I already send na an appropriate report. I am just wondering how would SEC take an action to this matter? Would they take down the site? Or maglalabas lang rin nang announcements na mag-ingat ganiyan-ganiyan  

No, it is just that not everyone has the interest into this industry. I'd say technicalities isn't their thing neither doesn't pique their interest. 'Cause you know even creating your own wallet is a bit of a complex thing, that, one must understand necessary stuff that must be dealt with. On the other hand, commerce is not everybody's cup of tea. Maybe people were already satisfied livin' in a paycheck to paycheck or maybe others are that rich enough to bother themselves with risky things like this that requires utmost patience.


I bet these people who knew the term had heard 'bout it in some scam, fraudulent activities going around the internet. And it made them be afraid about getting with it or perhaps practice avoiding being involve with any kind of ventures it has  .

I agree, however if they can comply to all the necessary procedures before going into idea of resuming the game. Then perhaps, it would be a good to go, I think? Not sayin' that they should deliberately continue the league neither not feared the virus itself but if they can do what the NBA league does then I think they are going to be fine. Have some sort of necessary test, quarantine, and whatnot. After all, staffs or employees who usually not seen on the camera needs the jobs to open again.


They somehow need to keep going, at least, bud  .

I love this saying, thanks a lot, man   .

Going back to OP. I'd rather say, don't think about getting merit as your metric on making a progress. It would not be effective in the long term basis. Instead, value learning over some recognition as it would keep you going, simply because you want learn. Yeah, getting merit feels great however it would be a bothersome once you never get even a single one. You might even depreciate contributing substantial post/reply to some discussion because you value geting recognize which you didn't get last time.

And you already saw it, it is kind of fun to see discussions which feeds knowledge to one another, right? Not that merit isn't important at all but it would be much easier to contribute to a certain discussion without thinking if someone would look at you, and you expect would give you a reward. What I mean there's no sort of pressure  .

Dunno if his gameplay gonna fit with the warriors. Well, fair enough better than being drafted to Phoenix Suns LOL  . One more thing, we aren't even sure yet if he can play with the intensity the league has but I believe he can. But whatever, what's certain here is that, if he did land on warriors he'll be having a great coach that's it  .

Anyway, I am excited to see him play in NBA, I've been a follower of him for quite some time I just hope he won't end up like his brother, Pat's going to bully him haha .

---

Dunno but it's kind of disturbing to me .

About their time, am pretty sure their practice time gonna meet across each other. But everyone going to practice at the exact same time? I don't think so. Maybe there will be gaps, and so on, but yeah, who knows?

No, not unless they are unauthorized to do so.

Worry not, crypto in Philippines is highly regulated. The government isn't seem to be totally opposite either. They came up into this since, such news -- forsage, and the likes of it is really prevalent in social media specially in facebook. Considering Filipinos ranks number 1 on using social media, before, not sure about now.

---

Perhaps it is. But apparently, it is good to cause some doubts rather than not. Now they'll have a new layer of security in terms of investing  . So sometimes, second guessing is good specially with these cases.

Bilis ng exposed haha. Nice check, man. Although I doubt na may mga pinoy na mabi-victim 'yan pero goods na rin para sa awareness nung iba.


Typical scammer's thread. Oversize fonts, unnecessary font style then syempre ang 'di mawawalang advertising approach. On top of that, lahat sila newbie. Ewan ko rin sa kanila, 'no? Gagawa na lang ng thread 'yong 'di pa convincing sa paningin haha.  Saka sa dami ng possible names na ilagay, name pa ng fictional character ginamit  , ang ironic.

Anyway, ni-report ko na rin siya.

I read the thread, and I felt bad for him that he chooses to resort into dirty acts. He's so obsessed on getting his money assuming his narrate was a real one  .

Well, anyway, common sense is really a big thing here in this industry or must I say -- a necessary requirement one must always bring with. Regretting indeed won't do you any good once you already send your assets to a scammer, and that's a fact. Better yet get yourself up, collect your thoughts, get going and use your common as always and as much as how you care not spending your money in unnecessary stuff. One more thing being a newbie isn't an excuse for someone who's cautious on biting scammer's trap, and it doesn't exclude you for not knowing or for not utilizing your common sense effectively IMO. Besides reading about their thing; frauds, and how to avoid or spot one were always been there. Searching isn't something uncommon, after all  .

Great story btw. The bird's witty, poor man  .

Sa pagkakaalala ko mass testing is supposedly for PUIs and PUMs which means 'yong mass testing isn't meant for everybody, right? Well, anyway yeah it would have a significant sa numbers we have right now. Pero good thing 'yon para at least we aren't blind sa statistics natin ngayon. Good thing, 'yong ibang LGU did their part sa city under their governance. Valenzuela ata 'yong pinakaunang nag-proceed ng mass testing, right? Not sure if may nagfollow up pa na other city sa kanila. Haven't heard of any eh  .

One more thing, problem now is, the government is prioritizing unnecessary stuff na nase-set aside na 'yong issue na should be deal with in the first place. Nakapangangamba pa kasi Anti Terrorism Bill has been now signed by the President, so it is a law na damn. One way thing to silenced the community para mag-voice out sa mga shortcomings nila.

I was going to say it but sir @Rikafip did it fast   .

Well, it is like what he was said. It is used to take note individual's ability, and chemistry to one another. It is really necassary for now considering the long break they have. They need to rediscover, and get their touch with basketball not to mention some others wouldn't be able to play with the exact same players 'cause others have sit out, and others got some temporary exchange.

---

I kinda don't like JR Smith being included first, as the exact scenario of what he did is still fresh in my head haha . However, upon seeing your response/reactions guys on his acceptance, I think he would still do better, and I think he won't make bad plays like what he did back then, so silly but everybody commits mistakes. And after all, there's no good players available for Avery's replacement except him.

Yeah, popularity plays a huge role here.

And even I myself prefer to accept BTC alone (among in different cryptocurrencies to exist) on my service irl. Because even though speed been always a problem it is mainly the thing I see majority of the individuals has to offer as well. Not sayin' I don't like altcoins at all but I don't like putting extra effort on converting all of it back to BTC again  . Same thing I observe with my fellow men who accepts bitcoins as a payment. Was it a bad thing? No, I guess, and why would it be haha

I am not fond of altcoins anymore like I used to be .

Damn, I wish I had a bit of his dedication 'cause I am always slacking off -- not participating in stuff I somehow know  . Well, anyway, isn't it more exhausting to copy several links and report here and there than actually thinking substiantially of what to reply/post in certain discussion, eh? Great find btw  . What a rare person he is.

Yeah, might be sad. Rewards are mere recognition, of course, and is a bit of a problem considering the number of users this forum has. However, not receiving any rewards doesn't make you any less of a great person you could be as long as you keep doing your best, and it doesn't mean you have to perform less than you have before. I mean just do things (better if it ain't bounty report) you enjoy without expecting any reward so that if you don't receive anything it won't make you feel bad  .

I'll go with LaMelo too. Well, Lonzo is great back in his college days though his shooting form is kind of weird  . But what made me choose his younger brother is the fact that LaMelo goes overseas, Lithuania specifically to play basketball, and such experience helps him grow to be a better player; he's not the type of kid who frequently shoots 3 whenever he want anymore. Not tryin' to exaggerate anything but that's what I observed up until his recent highlights from NBL. Plus LaMelo's basketball IQ is way better not to mention he still remains being a point guard despite his height  . Well, maybe because he's used to that position . I like this kid even back at his wrist tape wonders journey.

---

Good decision, I guess. Pacers isn't in bad place nor in need for any player like him, either. Although playoffs is a different thing but he don't need to risk his body to play it yet. Seeing a fully recovered Oladipo is way better than seeing him play right now even though we badly missin' him to see play on basketball court once again  .

This is right down disturbing. Damn, this isn't something a sane man would do  .

Something needs to be checked. From the college students, and up to those people who could wander around while still being positive with the virus. And heck, why are they being allowed to go outside in the first place? This is the biggest problem with a liberated country.

I felt bad for the innocent people who would/might get in contact with these reckless guys. And while front liners are working eagerly to find a cure, and here these dumbhead guys thinking, betting on who would get the virus first is a fun thing  .

Doing something doesn't necessarily mean you need motivation. Better do something ahead even if you don't feel doing it. Just read, and explore then ask questions later, it'll give you some progress already at hand rather than getting motivated first before achieving anything, it is just like as how the famous sayin' goes just do it, and it is quite hard in the beginning however, doing it repetitively would make things easier for you. And by just doing something, it would lead you into various thing you never thought possible before.

And yeah, you'll make mistakes in this side of industry first, well everyone does. Not to mention bitcoin is associated with risk  . Hence mistakes here is not something uncommon.

It just kind of new to me  . Or maybe because I haven't seen something similar with a set up like this. Dunno... am I that naïve?  Haha.

This young man is promising. Isn't that boy who scored 92 pts in a highschool game back then?

What I like about him is that he goes overseas to explore different experiences with basketball. I admired him for doing that. And maybe because of that, that gives him the edge on being on the top spot rignt now. Beside he got a good highlights, might not be as athletic as Zion and Ja but still he's good like from passing, and shooting from downtown.

It ain't too big to ruined the whole economic stability of the Philippines  . Beside people who goes there rarely pays through bitcoin, I guess, as much as people into this side of industry here in Philippines are also rare.

One more thing, I would rather choose to pay in fiat considering the additional fee mentioned by OP. Dunno but it is kind of pain in the ass to pay big sum of btc just to have that kind of temporary fun, and yet uncertain if I'll be satisfied with the service. You know... I have to hold it for a while, and spend it with a better purpose  .

I was wondering kung paano nila hina-handle 'yong mga report cases. Kasi upon checking parang magse-select ka lang ng certain complaint tas paste mo 'yong address then lagay ka ng description tas then proceed na. Parang hindi solid 'yong evidences knowing na hindi rin naman nila alam 'yong nangyari behind except may transaction na naganap, right?


Exactly, man. I was thinking the same... kumbaga sa laro kahit maganda naman ginawa mo pero pag napagtripan ka ng group and then nag-mass report sila against sa'yo, the game itself would still punish you. A bit unfair sa side nung nag-solo. (Sorry sa analogy 'yan kasi pinaka-closest na case na na-encounter ko noon).

Maganda sana 'yong idea na ganito, at least aware ka sa history case ng makaka-transact mo. Pero what is the best way ba para i-handle 'yong ganitong case?
