Ito rin ang aking naiisip kung bakit umaangat yung price ng xrp at hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa rin itong umaangat at nasa $0.75 (₱36) na ang price. Siguro naghahabol bumili ang iba para sa papalapit na event dahil maganda ang kanilang makukuhang rewards at nagbabalak ulit ako bumili ng xrp pero aantayin ko muna ito bumaba para kahit paano marami rami ang aking mabibili.

When it's your first time hearing Bitcoin and crypto, it may really sound difficult to understand. I can say that for a normal person, it may become too complicated compared to how we use fiat, and that's understandable since not everyone has the same capabilities to easily understand it. Although I think he has the capability since he's a CEO but I think he's just reluctant or has a different perspective about bitcoin that's why he finds it difficult to understand. Perhaps he finds it difficult because he's not interested but if you do, it will be easy for you to learn.

It's understandable if the government is looking for more funds to support the economy. And I think it's good because the tax revenue earned will also go to the province and the people will be the ones who will benefit from it. Also, with the regulation, there's a good impact on the casino industry. Although with a tax increase, I think gamblers will continue gambling especially if they have sufficient funds so it won't probably cause a huge effect on the number of their customers and profit even for small businesses.

It will definitely come at a particular point, as you will encounter several members asking multiple questions and issues that can be easily searched online to be resolved. But you need to be self-aware, that you have also experienced difficulties when you were starting. The best we can do is help and guide them, although there will be a time when you will need to discuss things repeatedly and make constructive criticisms. We also went from there where we barely know anything so it's like simply giving back what you have learned. Eventually, despite having that feeling, you will still end up clarifying their questions and giving ideas about their concerns.
245  Economy / Economics / Re: Jobless for 10 years still doing great because Jobs market is a joke on: November 23, 2020, 12:29:08 PM
I don't think it's good to rely on just being a YouTuber or gamer and such since it's only temporary unless you already have the name in that industry. Also, I have seen a lot of people trying to be a vlogger and a gamer but not everyone has the same opportunity to gain popularity and income from it. But being a freelancer can still be considered having a job, even if it has no benefits like the usual worker. It's good for you that you don't need to be working for others to earn income since you were able to do that in several ways.

247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dose meme helps a crypto to be viral? on: November 22, 2020, 03:16:41 PM
I doubt that memes are that helpful in attracting future investors. Memes are fun and full of humor but I don't think it's enough to gain interest in investing in their projects. When a certain meme gains much attention, it can help the project to gain recognition but as I have said it's not enough to secure investors. Some projects open contests that also include memes but I feel like it's harder to promote projects using memes.

If you are doubtful and undecided to buy their product, then it is better to look at various reviews regarding their site and service. As you can’t just rely on their statements on being “trustworthy”, search for further information that supports that statement. And if you can’t find any, then don’t trust them with your money and take it as a red flag. Start with this thread, it is a discussion about minersdepo.

Nowadays, it is quite common to see homonymous projects with no definite use case, such projects are usually linked with scams. The feeling of doubtfulness is understandable, especially in the crypto market where there are identical projects with a similar crypto branding. Thus, fundamental research is suggested, it is necessary to make a general overview of the projects. Thankfully, there is a scam accusation section in the forum that may help you be aware of the projects you need to avoid.
250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life, gambling and trials. on: November 21, 2020, 01:40:01 PM
I don't spend much on gambling so I don't expect to win big so whenever I win, it's just a small amount of money that I often use to buy small things that I need. If I don't have anything urgent to buy, I use my winnings to buy foods like cravings just to treat myself as well as my family. I have not tried giving my winnings to my family because it's just a small amount but buying foods to share with them is still nice because I'm treating them even if it's just a normal day. They don't mind if I'm gambling as long as I'm limiting myself with the amount I spend, and it's my money after all.

6. Anonymous is a big key to a better and secure way of doing transactions. There are many bad people anywhere and getting anonymous will not help them noticing the amount and transactions you made. Doing transactions in cryptocurrency will not involve getting identity to the public like in those banks that you need to do KYC. KYC is dangerous to you because it might be use by others not the right way. As much as possible avoid getting into KYC (Know Your Customer). There are few exchanges and wallet appears to be asking for KYC and there are some that are not so chose well the best that suit you the best.
KYC is a significant threat to our privacy, as it asks for confidential documents that can make you vulnerable to identity fraud. Some exchanges require and implement KYC to ensure the safety of their customers along with their assets. However, fake exchanges exist, and sharing our credentials with them may put our personal identity at risk.

[1] Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless

Thus, as much as possible, try to choose reputable exchanges in making transactions to prevent such problems. Regardless, it is good to see that you focused on learning these things because it will help you in your crypto journey. Keep on learning!
252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Survey of Millionaires finds 73% own or want to invest in crypto on: November 20, 2020, 04:02:36 PM
Not a surprise, I think.
Rich people won't stop to invest on something which will give them profit and it happen that Bitcoin, especially at this moment, is really a profitable investment given how huge the price increase is. There's a momentum and I've also heard that many people are again interested with cryptos right now. Probably those who are calling this technology a scam, have holdings. If things would be quite consistent, there is indeed a possibility for the ATH to be broken and that's being anticipated.
For sure a lot of rich people actually know about bitcoin but maybe some of them were just afraid to invest at first. But since bitcoin is now doing good and it's also increasing its popularity, they are now considering investing in bitcoin, which is nice. It's a good sign that not just billionaires and big companies but more people, in general, are now starting to recognize bitcoin and wanting to adopt or to invest in it. And for sure that this will continue in the next coming years.
253  Economy / Economics / Re: people stop complain about economy and ccovid on: November 20, 2020, 03:04:07 PM
With or without the pandemic, there are people complaining about the economy. Because they are having a hard time, not everyone has the same struggle to tell them not to complain because it just shows privilege. And this covid made it worse for those people who are already struggling especially financially. It's the government's job to help their people that's why we'll always hear complaints and demands because they don't see what the government is doing to help them.

Agree that working hard does not guarantee us to secure our life but I think that's the least people can do especially if they have nothing because not everyone has the same opportunities in their lives.
254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin make someone the richest in the world? on: November 20, 2020, 01:39:14 PM
Bitcoin is not mandatory to become rich, they become rich through their hard work and effort in growing their money even before bitcoin was created.  And there's a lot of ways these people know how they are going to multiply their money like investing and such. But since now that Bitcoin is quite actually doing good in the market, it can help rich people to grow their money by investing in it. However, there's no guarantee that they can be the richest person in the world. The richest man alive can invest in bitcoin but his profit from it might just be a small portion of his actual profit.
255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What was the biggest airdrop you have received so far? on: November 20, 2020, 12:56:08 PM
I don't have any experience of earning money in airdrop and actually, I've tried some airdrop before but I gain nothing that's why I barely participate. I will only join if it's legit and that I can earn money. But, I never forget that my friends earn a huge amount of money from airdrop and it came from Uniswap. And right now, I'm currently using the Uniswap cause who knows if they will still have another round of airdrop.
256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there really only 2 types of Altcoins from a Investor's view? on: November 20, 2020, 10:45:55 AM
If I understood correctly, this is a general concept of the relation between altcoins performance and the market. As some altcoins can keep up with the market flow while several of it fails. In searching for an oscillator, you need to make an extensive analysis to identify which is investment-worthy. For now, it is difficult to determine which altcoin will survive the unpredictable market. Such indicators will help if you have fully analyzed the market flow since then. Regardless, it is good to learn something new about altcoins.
257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Player protection - stop loss limit on: November 20, 2020, 09:24:02 AM
I have not seen nor tried this tool of protecting the players, but I'm wondering if it's actually functional since a player can just move to another casino when it reaches its loss limit? This player protection might be useful to other gamblers with good self-control but when it comes to gambling addicts, I doubt that they will use or set such kind of function to restrict or limit their losses. But in the case where the player has already reached his limit, I think he will probably won't be allowed to gamble for a certain day, week, or month.
258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is for you the best Defi Project for 2021? on: November 20, 2020, 07:44:11 AM
I have only Four DeFi projects in mind that can still perform very well in the coming years

1. COMP
2. ChainLink
3. DIA
4. YFI
5. UNISWAP

It feels like DeFi was a bubble all along but that's because many DeFi projects only took advantage of DeFi success to raise money, they have nothing big to offer.
Those Defi projects that you mentioned are already successful and it seems the Chainlink is still the number 1 Defi project in Coinmarketcap. That's quite true that some people use the Defi hype to scam people like after they raised a huge amount of money, they will run or they even dump the tokens. Some are just taking advantage of it, creating projects that don't even have a real use case and just a pure scheme to deceive others.  But there are still good and promising Defi projects out there we just need to find it.
259  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Price increase = scam increase - BE CAREFUL, friends on: November 19, 2020, 03:59:43 PM
With the positive progress of the market, investors think that it will be a big loss and regret if they don’t invest their funds immediately. However, that fear influences their decision-making process with their investments. It usually leads to a negative outcome, as they are credulous in fraudulent investment schemes, with the thought of earning a massive gain. What they don’t understand is that defrauders are using the circumstance to trick their hapless victim to invest. Though they still fall for it, even if there’s an obvious sign that it is just an empty promise.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Gang uses crypto for illegal purposes on: November 19, 2020, 02:15:22 PM
I'm thinking that the government are just banning gambling for the sake of their countrymen.
The negative side of gambling that it can give to the people is far more worst than the positive side of it can give but although there are some countries who are banning it, I agree that the gamblers tend to find another ways to gamble and online gambling is one of them.
Chinese people are fond of gambling and with online casinos emerging one by one online, for sure more Chinese people will gamble.

With regards to crypto being used in bad activities, it is already expected and even fiat had been used too in illegal activities so is this isn't uncommon already.
Does banning gambling in their country really help their people like getting addicted to gambling? I doubt that since it's up to us how are we going to control ourselves. There's a lot of Chinese gamblers here in my country so I don't think it's really helping them because the more they prohibit them from doing what they want, the more they will keep going further to do it which pushes them to do it illegally. Instead of banning, why not just regulate gambling and it will be a win-win situation for the gamblers and the government.
