201  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Coins.ph's USDC HODL and Earn Program on: January 23, 2024, 02:46:23 PM
Uy mukhang okay sya ha lalo na kung usa kayo sa mga team hodl lang ng hodl, at least kikita yung hawak mong pera kaysa naman natutulog lang sya sa account mo, para din syang kagaya sa pag ibig mp2 pero pinagkaiba lang nila ay self contribution savings ito and annually nakukuha ang total annual divideds na 6% ang halaga.
Ok naman siya kung may natatago kang USDC tapos gusto mo lang walang gawin, kaya mas okay na kikita ka ng weekly instead na wala kang kitain kung nakahold lang. Kaso ang naiisip ko lang parang mas papaldo kapag itong USDC + RON is ifarm sa katana dahil wala pa man din na ATH ang RON. Meron pa dito na nakastake din sa RON at malaki laking halaga ang nakalagay? Ang plano ko lang naman kung may USDC ako, gamitin ko lang din yung RON na nafarm ko para sakali lang din sa bull run kung tumaas ay kahit papano may imbak.

Op, you've got bunch of tips already and I am wondering on how your first gambling went through. If you care and mind to share that here and how you have handled it will be pleasant to here. And do you think are you going to next, are you going to gamble again or you've got already some thoughts that you'll become addicted and you might not able to control yourself? I think that after a day has passed, you're able to gamble already so I'm just curious to hear what you gonna say if ever you're done with your first gambling experience.
203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Explain Bitcoin to A Second Grader in Four Sentences? on: January 22, 2024, 06:39:28 PM
I read a tweet from the Eric guy covering spot Bitcoin ETF for Bloomberg, he wrote:

"My mom was over tonight and asked about the bitcoin ETFs we covering on ETF IQ lately. She’s like “What’s dif bt crypto and bitcoin? I think of it all as funny money in space. Is there some kind of mine? They need a show that explains it to me and my friends like we in 2nd grade”

So can you explain Bitcoin in a way a second grader would understand it? If you can, do in in four sentences let's see. Do it as good as Sunny Lu did for blockchain.
Bitcoin is another money that can be spent without any borders, as long as there are people willing to accept it as money then that's an alternative money for most. And it's not just your different kind of money through the internet but it's also an asset, a store of value that money does. So basically, there are ways to obtain or accumulate Bitcoin. First through mining, this is like the conventional way of it but it will cost you lots of money for the equipment for you to start mining. The easier way is to simply buy it through exchanges using your local money and convert it to Bitcoin and, the other way is through getting paid with it like a typical worker.

Agree ako sa karamihan na sinabi mo kabayan tungkol kung paano tayo makakapag ambag sa paglago ng Bitcoin sa bansa natin. Ang pangit lang kasi sa nangyayari ngayon ay yung mga scammers sa social media ay ginagamit ang Bitcoin at dahil nga marami pa ring hindi aware na lehitimo ang Bitcoin ay sila yung nagiging biktima nitong mga scammers na ito. Kaya ang ending, kapag na scam sila ay sasabihin nila "na scam ako sa bitcoin". Tapos ang parang thought niyan ay yung bitcoin mismo ang scam sa kanila. Yun lang ang masakit sa nangyayari pero kapag may mga tao akong naeencounter na ganyan ang experience, pinapaliwanagan ko nalang agad na hindi scam ang Bitcoin kundi yung tao mismo na nangscam sa kanila pati na rin yung platform kung saan sila nag invest. Ako, may mga kaibigan akong nagtatanong tanong na sa akin tungkol sa bitcoin at maluwag ko namang sinasagot mga tanong nila dahil mukhang interesado silang mag invest sa Bitcoin. Maliit na ambag sa ngayon pero okay pa rin.
205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling and religious restrictions on: January 21, 2024, 11:50:03 PM
In my country, you'll see religious people praying that they should win with their bets. And guess what? It's a normal thing and doesn't seen as something against with their faith because they'll reason out that if it's for you then it will be blessed for you. Something odd with all of the faith-based matters and at the same time, you'll still see some amazing things they do for the other people. But if it's about gambling, that's what I've noticed for all of the time that I've been living on this world, praying to hit the lotto jackpot, the team to win for sportsbetting, etc.
206  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Believe, "Passive Investors Make More Than Active Investors?" on: January 21, 2024, 10:08:59 PM
As for passive investors if they're making more money, for me it's possible and if I'm comparing myself as a trader then I'll probably make less than just simply holding because it's stress free and I like more being passive than active because it's likely that you'll get to lose more and that's proven.

By the way, he also thinks BTC has no intrinsic value and cryptocurrency is just gambling.
He's always been negative about Bitcoin. We all salute him for being a good investor and one of the wealthiest people alive but if we're going to see him right now, he's just an old man that doesn't like new concepts in investing because he's born on different era.
207  Economy / Gambling / Re: Greetings from Bets.io on: January 21, 2024, 06:11:02 PM
The quick response to user's issues is how we know a good casino because casino good service starts from treating each user the way they want and also making them feel they are important.
That's a sign that the casino is doing their best to answer and give answers to the queries that they should be. It's a good impression when they're quickly solving those.

The Q4 giving back tournament of Bets.io is just the tip of the iceberg because they currently have a better tournament as we speak which I personally like with the inclusion of their Grand holiday tournament which started last year in Q4 and will end next month.
And whats good with the grand holiday tournament is that there's not that much requirement at all. No entrance fee but you have to wager a small amount which is not that much for most who wants to participant and to mind, this is until Feb 28, 2024.

I just registered on Bets.io, quick and easy and I'm from Asia.

Of course you have my favorite games like roulette and crazy game from Evolution and I have been lately playing it a lot so obviously I might stay in this platform and play along and see how my luck is.

And if I got lucky, those progressive jackpot pool is huge!!!
Good luck mate!
208  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Banning ng Binance App sa Pinas on: January 21, 2024, 04:04:55 PM
Ito lang naman mahalaga diyan, basta makita lang din ng SEC na kumikilos sila at inaasikaso talaga nila para maging legal sila dito sa bansa natin. Baka mabigyan pa sila ng pagkakataon.

Yun lang, gaya nga ng sabi ko sa taas, walang namang announcement ang Binance regarding dito. Kaya ma assume nalang natin na wala na silang interest. Common sense lang naman yan eh, kung ikaw may ari ng business tapos valuable sayo ang mga customers mo tapos meron kay legal problem na maaring ma close ang business, pero kung mag comply ka maari ka pa ring magpatuloy, di ba nararapat lang na ipaalam mo rin sa mga customers mo ang action mo para hindi sila mag worry.

Tayo nalang yata ang medyo positive pa, pero ang Binance, parang hindi tayo priority nila.
Oo nga posibleng wala na talagang interes sila dito dahil mahigpit pero wala pa naman sa deadline at ilang araw pa naman kaya tignan natin kung anong mangyayari. Kahit papano may konting pag asa pa akong natitira.  Cheesy

ano na kaya ang update now , parang walang nag Bubump ng mga threads about Binance blocking kung halimbawa matutuloy na ba talaga or nag comply na ang binance para pumabor sa lahat? madali lang naman kasi talaga to kung gugustuhin ng binance basta seryosohin lang nila at respetuhin ang gobyerno natin.
Wala din akong ideya kabayan kasi kung may ginagawa sila dapat may updates na sila. Bago mag deadline, lilipat ko na assets ko na nakadeposit sa kanila para naman safe pa rin. Sabi nila, okay lang daw gumamit ng VPN pero pull out muna ko ng mga barya barya ko sa kanila hehe.

Tama yung sinabi ni @Blockman kung yung order ay manggagaling sa court posibleng mablock nga ito. Ngayon sa sinasabi mong ito tungkol sa SEC ay walang kapangyarihan ang SEC na ipablock yan, kung mangyayari man ang naisin ng SEC sa Binance kung hindi magcomply ito sa SEC ay maghihintay parin ang SEC ng order sa court sa bagay na yan.

Yes totoo na sa SEC magpapasa ng mga requirements na kailangan para makapagpatuloy ng operation ang Binance dito, pero yung authority to block Binance talagang nasa court order ang authority.
Antay na lang talaga tayo baka alam din naman siguro ito ng Binance at may mga lawyers siguro silang hinire para sa legal basis na ito o kaya potential na extension ng deadline.
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 20, 2024, 12:12:21 PM
It doesn't make sense to say that rich people win more games than poor people because games are chance and depend on luck. Some people might say that rich people can handle losing more easily and enjoy the odd win more, but that doesn't mean they will always be successful.
While that's true but it still makes sense because they've got more money to lose and to start as their bankroll. Although the success will be defined on how good they are but the chances of staying longer is on them.

The house always has the best odds, so it never wins or loses. It doesn't matter how much cash someone has. Bets can lose for everyone, not just rich people. You can't say that one group gets more than the other. Everyone, no matter how much money they have, has to follow a lot of hard rules when they gamble. Some of these rules are luck, planning, and taking care of your threats.
The cash that someone has matters because it defines on how you can stay as you gamble. Obviously, the poor won't last long with the amount of money that he's got to gamble. While the average, going with the average but all of it will still depend on how they gamble and the games that they play with the risk that it has. The higher the risk, the quicker the turns and phase, the quicker the money will get in and out.
210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Denying yourself comfortability in other to buy Bitcoin on: January 20, 2024, 08:28:53 AM
IMHO, accumulate and buy when you're totally fine and there is no need to sacrifice your comfortable living. But if you're alone, I guess that makes sense and easier to do because you don't need to think of any family member that will be sacrificed the status of life because of your goal to invest in Bitcoin. That's why for the singles out there, if you are able to buy Bitcoin and you include that to your expenditures every time you receive your paycheck then you have to keep on doing that. Because you'll never know how tight it is going to be when you're with a partner already or when you become a family guy.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 20, 2024, 06:57:18 AM
This is what we are, we just make fun of some controversies even if they're serious because we can't do anything with it. The officials are actually the laughing stock on this matter but they're just trying to defend on it and the general manager even said that their agency(PCSO) isn't really good at editing and that's not a matter because they're just trying to hide and protect the actual winner. I am waiting for the senate inquiry if they're going to be firm on their investigation on this one and if there will be corrupt officials that will be caught on this unusual high prized lottery that can be part of the guinness.  Grin
Will really be something huge. This lottery has been running for decades and if this will be proven with cheating intentions, then for sure other winners will also be questioned. Let us think of how many people are dreaming to win the jackpot that they spent their money and time with, to be made fun of. What if other winners aren't real? Where did the money went if that's so? This will again be an issue concerning how bad the situation is in Philippines when it is about corruption.
If we're going to analyze it and apply logical thinking on it, it is highly improbable that we get to see straight winners of 690million pesos in less than a week. And even last year, there have been bunch of winners with high amounts. Let's just wait for the investigation but I hope that it won't also get affected because of how much the money is going on and sad to say that corruption in our government seems to be a normal thing for every citizen, we just hope for the best. Too bad that it's been just noticed lately and I think that if not, we'll get to see more of these winners. Poor bettors, keep hoping that they might win it someday but little did they know, everything is already automated and set.
212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: January 19, 2024, 11:29:30 PM
Pascal is definitely going to be a very big asset for the Indiana Pacers. In my opinion, he is going to contribute to the team a lot as well. So I think it is easy to say that this was a win for the Indiana Pacers. I think we can also say any doubt that the player is also in his prime time, right? At least that's what I think when I consider his age. Yes I cant deny sometimes the performance from the Indiana pacers has been a little inconsistent in recent times. however I think they have the capability of improving the performance and being a lot more consistent.
It was a good decision for the Indiana Pacers. Having Pascal added on their roster makes them more relevant and even stronger. We've got another team to watch out and let's see how is this going to change their current rank from overall #7 and #7 as well on the Eastern conference.

Yes indeed, Siakam is something who can really bring those productions that Pacers needed, I just hope that he can quickly connect
his skills with the rest of his new teammates.

It's interesting to see if how they will manage now to keep their position and have that drive to move forward to the next round.
It might take some while until he's got his connection to his new teammates. I guess that this is one of the hardest thing that new transfers will have to do. There's always an adjustment period for most of them and they need to do it as soon as possible.

Quote
Maybe it was long overdue and Indiana really eyes him for a long time. When most of the teammates that he's got during their championship days have been scattered in every team in the league.

Raptors surely got attracted with those first round picks that Pacers offered to them, like you mentioned, all the star players during that
season that they become champions are all gone,

It's about time for Siakam and the Raptors to decide and now is the best timing for them, what will be the outcome still unknown, only
time can tell if which side will be the benefactors of this trade.
They're going to build a new team with that but it's going to take for a while for them as well. With the hope of the first round picks, so it will take them patience. But they know what they're doing and this is pure business on them and they think that with the replacement of Pascal, they can have a good outlook on it. Although on the side of the fans, they like it if they didn't traded Pascal.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 19, 2024, 05:08:43 PM
The general manager's statement is very surprising, what do they mean that they are not good at editing they have millions of budgets, don't tell us that they don't have a decent editor or they don't have one, even a grade 4 student can do better on editing, the senate should continue with the investigation, there is a winner in another lottery and its a huge amount over $12 million, let's see how they are going to hide the identity of the winner if the public asks for proof.
Mate, don't take him seriously. It's just a lame excuse. It's either he's a puppet or he's the one pocketing and embezzling people's money. I am not the one who's saying it directly but the pulse of our countrymen that I see in social media is mostly pinpointing him as the mastermind of this. Well, he's the general manager and can control everything on PCSO.

I already posted that they should just cover everything because the outlet where the winner bet will announce that the winner of that huge amount bet on their outlet but of course they have no way of knowing who is the winner.
Instead of covering the identity of the winner, they're using this as probably part of their tactic to swindle people's money.

This thing is happening because the culture is very different in a third-world country, compared to the 1st world country, in a country like the US you can claim your prize and show it on social media and mainstream media, and the winner can still walk in the street as if winning millions is just natural.

In a third-world country, you have to change your identity for fear of being targeted by bad elements or people with bad intentions and they are conniving with crooked cops
You said it right, the main reason is the protection and safety of their lives. But look at the rich businessmen in our country, they're public figures.

A winner from E-lotto online something that adds up the doubt from those bettors, now, that the senate is really eager to know who's that girl
and if there's a connection with her and those corrupt officials inside PCSO.
I just hope that this senate inquiry isn't just a show.

It will take some time as PCSO needs to reveal her real identity and one of the senator who wanted to know the truth is willing to hire private
detectives to know the connection if there's something behind.

A serious matter that being use for memes though it's important to know if that's for real or not.
Honestly, this should have been long overdue but because of the attention that these lottery winners(?) have taken through social media. I guess that the senate has taken a peek on it.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 19, 2024, 03:17:59 PM

I also think that Pascal was because the team was very interested in him, an surely  this was a good decision. Now if this was a good decision or not for the team, we will be able to know that later by watching him perform.
Maybe it was long overdue and Indiana really eyes him for a long time. When most of the teammates that he's got during their championship days have been scattered in every team in the league.

I still don't get why the people aren't mad about this stuff because this is as blatant they can be with how they stole the public funds
It is because it is no use to get mad at these things because no action will be taken. Just this day, there was a hearing on the senate for this matter and the General Manager of the PCSO seems to be lying with all the answers. People aren't mad with these pictures or edited images, what we're mad of is the consecutive winnings of these amounts since last year. It is impossible to see those happen and just a few days of boundary and winners with almost the same amount have been proclaimed. Honestly, what with I am seeing on the social media with this topic, we Filipino's are just making it as something fun instead of getting mad because of the corruption that's too vulgar and the sad and hated thing about it is we cannot do a thing or two with it but also the ones with the powers in the authority can question them. Because normal citizens like me won't be heard.
217  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: January 18, 2024, 08:47:29 PM
It becomes the belief of many that we have to work hard so that we're going to get out of poverty and be wealthy. But do that in my country and you'll still get not enough because wages here are really low. That's why you need to look for other hustles for you to be able to survive, the high cost of living but then the low salary and slow growth in increases is hard to bear. If you're a foreigner and you're going to take a look at this case in my problem, you might find it that it's not a problem at all because of the standard of living from your country. However, this is the reality here that cost of living is quite high for locals and that's if you talk to someone that's working hard, you might get an answer that he or she don't have that much savings because usually the breadwinner spends it all for obligations, bills, etc.

We're near to the bull run so there will be a lot of usual and unusual scams that we're going to see. Before it was with several projects and did some rug pulls, now, this might be their next meta about giving the safety thought of their potential victims that they can handle things for them and do the deposits on their own fake and scam platform. Instead of educating the newbies that the only insurance that they can get is to hold their own wallet with the private keys and not with some other third parties that will handle it for it.
exactly , When Bull market is coming Scams are everywhere in every forms so better keep safe your funds and never give this one a chance guys.
And that's why everyone needs to take care of themselves and for the newbies, if anyone out there can read this. Stop being greedy, your greediness will lead you to fall for these traps set by the scammers like the example of this insured or insurance for a bitcoin wallet. You just have to inform yourself and learn the basic things about taking care of your own fund and you'll not be fooled by any of the scammers and at the same time, you'll be the one to educate others with what you've learned.
219  Local / Pilipinas / Re: SEC has now approved 11 spot bitcoin ETF on: January 18, 2024, 06:27:00 AM
May nabasa ako tungkol sa BTC futures ng CME na mage-expire at parang ito lang sa ngayon ang kumokontrol sa galaw ni Bitcoin kahit na na approve na itong mga Bitcoin spot ETFs na ito. Asahan daw natin na kapag na expire na ito o bago mag expire ay bababa talaga ang price ng Bitcoin pero after ng action na yun, doon na natin onti onti makikita kung paano tumaas ang price ni BTC. Sa mga long term holder, wala tayong dapat ipagalala dahil papanoorin lang natin gumalaw ang market at hangga't maaari ay puwede tayong magdagdag kung may budget kahit pakonti konti lang. Ito ang ginagawa ng marami ngayon para hindi maiwan kahit konti lang ang holdings mo, magbenta lang sa medyo mataas taas na price.

Sa mga log-term holders hindi sila talaga apektado sa mga ngyayari ngayon sa merkado sa totoo lang, dahil meron silang timeframe kung nasa magkanong halaga ng Bitcoin sila magbebenta at once na ma hit yun ay ibebenta na nila agad dahil yun ang kanilang main goals and target bilang holders ng Bitcoin.
Tama ka kabayan, kasi ako may nakahold ako para sa long term. Hindi naman kalakihan pero mas magiging masaya kung mabebenta ko siya sa medyo mataas taas o di kaya peak nitong susunod na bull run. Hindi na din ako masyado magiisip tungkol sa mga balita pero dapat updated pa rin talaga.

Sa ngayon kasi ang ngyayari sa market after ng sec aproval sa bitcoin spot ETF ay obviously kung oobserbahan nating mabuti meron talagang manipulation na ngyayari. Pansinin nyo nung January 10 araw na inaprubahan ng SEC ang mga applications ng 11 companies nung araw na yun ang shares palang na meron ang Blackrock sa Bitcoin ay nasa 2600 something palang, tapos 2 days after approval ay ito ang bnili ng blackrock 11,439.2198 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $497,994,992.41 as of January 12 from the available supply.
https://www.ibtimes.com/blackrocks-ishares-bitcoin-trust-surges-bags-over-11k-btc-record-time-48-hours-3722080

So dito palang may plano na silang manipulations sa merkado since pwede na nga silang makabili ng Bitcoin directly sa nakasanayan nilang paraan talaga na hindi na kailangan gawin pa ang self-custody.
Parang yan ang pinakapoint nila, habang maaga pa at hindi pa masyadong mature ang mga spot ETFs na na approve, yan ang dapat nilang gawin at yun ay ang mag accumulate din ng marami. Naunahan na silang lahat ng Microstrategy pero hindi din naman papatalo itong mga naaprubahan dahil yun din ang plano nila, ang mag accumulate ng libo libo pang Bitcoins. Parang nakakatakot o nakakabahala din pero kasabay din naman na masaya dahil nga malalaking companies ito na naghohold ng Bitcoin. Nakakabahala dahil nga sa ibang bagsakan ng benta nila, puwedeng bumaba at magkaroon ng crash pero sanay naman na tayo at alam naman natin na laging may recovery agad.
