To put it simply — ang cloud mining is either a scam/ponzi scheme, or very unprofitable(in the mid-long term). Kung gusto mag mine ng bitcoin or any crypto na PoW, go buy mining hardware.

Ledger has a promo as well. You get like $20-30 cash back in bitcoin for purchasing a hardware wallet. Sounds stupid though — they could've just decreased the price.

The way I see it — knowing that privacy with Bitcoin (and on the internet in general) takes a good chunk of extra steps(and requires a good amount of knowledge) to achieve, people just end up turning a blind eye. This is why we need privacy by default(or at the very least to be as easy as possible).

Guess what — 10 months is nothing when it comes to Bitcoin/crypto or investing in general. Want to succeed in this space? Get used to patiently waiting for years and years.

He's just so atrocious that I'm convinced that CSW, Ayre, and friends are just betting that the judges are idiots(if I were to guess, most are tech-illiterate).

It matters less which companies accept bitcoin; what matters more is how much payment volume Bitcoin payments are getting. Companies can easily revoke access to Bitcoin payments.

Apologies for being harsh, but based on what? Is it just a number you pulled out of your arse?

Also, we've already been in a bear market for a while now. If anything, consensus is that we're going down more — it's not even an opposing opinion.

If they go down — like hacked/insolvent, then it's a safe assumption that we should expect a heavily extended bear market due to how big these entities are. Does it mean that bitcoin/crypto will die? Definitely not, just that people will be generally uninterested for a while.

Recommendation: Google some photos of "Bitcoin accepted here" and "we accept Bitcoin". You know, those with the Bitcoin logo. It's simply just more appealing.

Something like this:

I really can't tell from the picture, but I hope your nephew isn't like too young for you to introduce Bitcoin. Personally, I'd say a minimum of 15-16 years old. Any younger than that, they would probably have a hard time understanding as they probably don't even have a slight idea on how traditional currencies work.

Heads up: Just buy a Ledger/Trezor hardware wallet. I don't think most people can confidently and properly secure a computer, even if it's not being used for daily personal usage.

Or specifically, twapping (Time-weighted average price).

As for the article OP linked, there's no way to sugarcoat this — but it's total utter crap. And what makes it worse is that it's a "crypto signals" service.

In the first place, you don't find cryptocurrencies that are trying to be/beat Bitcoin. That category is pretty much decided. The only investment-viable cryptocurrencies(in my opinion) are those that are acting like pseudo-shares.

As for indicators, heavy background checks on the team. But having a reputable and transparent team doesn't automatically mean it's not a scam — it just brings the chances down by a good amount.

I'm not 100% sure if I totally get what you're trying to say, but you're probably getting mixed up between centralized/decentralized and custodial/non-custodial.

Yep — it's pretty much a marketing ploy (a smart one), to grab headlines from mainstream media. Ang nakakatawa though, mukhang kokonti lang ang local media platforms ang may articles concerning Bitcoin in Boracay. Puros sa foreign news sites ko nakikita.

For such a huge company, CZ went too amateurishly impulsive with this plan of his. I couldn't see how CZ and company didn't foresee how excruciatingly terrible of a PR move this was. Like, of course the Bitcoin/crypto community would push against it.

A huge majority of cryptocurrencies are scams, but not all are scams. A cryptocurrency dropping in price(or going to zero) doesn't automatically mean it's a scam — it can also mean that it simply just failed. Just like how a lot of businesses, companies, and projects(startups) can fail.

1. Marami lang ata tayong users dahil sa hype ng Axie Infinity nung 2020-2022 (na obviously nag die down na today)

2. Ang isang blockchain project(unless local centralized exchange/platform ang pinag uusapan) ay hindi naman kailangang maging based sa isang lugar o bansa, dahil ang isang cryptocurrency project ay dapat na global at trustless by default, kahit pagdating sa developer teams

Been using GMX now for a while without any problems. What's great about it also is that it scrapes prices off multiple big centralized exchanges, hence you wouldn't get those typical scam wicks(that ends you up getting liquidated) you see on specific exchanges(I'm looking at you, FTX) as prices are averaged.

Can't say for sure about Gains, but it should pretty much act the same way as GMX — with the difference being GMX being on Arbitrum and Gains being on Polygon.

Definitely not totally against DEX's, but DEXs pose their own problems and risks — bugs, exploits, and rug pulls. I'd say overall the risks of DEXs and CEXs are slightly similar. But regardless what your choice is, only allocate a minor amount of your total bankroll as to prevent yourself from being a victim.
