Fun fact, meron tayong Pilipinas Discord channel dati pero sinara ko nalang kasi halos walang activility. 🤣

Onti lang din kasi gumagamit ng Discord sa mga Pinoy madalas lang ito sa mga users na may constant and fast internet connection, and mostly ito yung mga users na onto gaming. I also haven't try it mas better ba yon sa telegram or even sa facebook messenger?

Ilapag ninyo ang inyong mga link, let's build a better and lively community for the rest of us.

I think you should be active first in this community before engaging on another community of users in social media platforms and messaging applications. Even on international nor local community or channels wouldn't be necessary kasi community naman na itong forum, what would be the sense of it?

i am wanting to use a paper wallet to buy and spend bitcoins.

Don't use paper wallet as your medium of payment in kiosks or any other stores that supports it. Some (or rather most) wouldn't accept it because directly sending on the wallet is much convenient than accepting papers that could be lost, torn apart, or burnt. Always remember that Paper Wallets are only good for gifting purposes and not a wallet for holdings.

But it's too obvious that you haven't look it up on Google. I've searched it and found an article on how to make paper wallets. See the link here:

2663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will gambling signature promoters still get the same rate on: July 25, 2020, 06:07:08 AM
I consider this as gambling related discussion but I can be corrected on where to move this topic, but what if in the next month Bitcoin suddenly jump to $30000 or more will gambling promoters still get the same rate that they are getting in Bitcoin like me I'm getting 3000 sats per posts will the developers and admin reduced the amount or retain it, this is one of my motivation in promoting gambling sites, I dream of getting $1 or more per posts equivalent when Bitcoin pump.

I think it was impossible to make their rates high yet there are huge possibility that they would lessen the Satoshi count of their payment but still where same price/amount when converted to your local fiat. It would always depend on the campaign and the website you're promoting but in most cases if you promotes gambling platforms, they often make high rates if and only if the price of the Bitcoin would reach such huge amount.

Meanwhile, most campaigns nowadays are based by either USD or had it's pay rate price that where limited to what they give you in USD but just converted on BTC. Nevertheless, you shouldn't be bothered by the payment, as long as you post well in the forum you'll soon get what you deserve.
2664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin replace Gold someday? on: July 25, 2020, 05:19:28 AM
Do you think that Bitcoin will be able to replace Gold someday? As we shift into the "intangible" world, people will "ditch" physical stuff in exchange for digital items. Bitcoin can become the new digital Gold which serves as a safe-haven asset (store of value) in times of need. COVID-19 will greatly encourage people to adopt Bitcoin over Gold as their next store of value of choice. Thoughts? Huh

We cannot really compare Bitcoin and Gold as both have its different use and purposes. Bitcoin was made as a digital currency while Gold can only be traded mostly by physical transaction (somehow). And with regards to the price, Bitcoin could never ever defeat gold as it is volatile and still a bubble that still can be dumped by Satoshi and his holdings. While, Gold doesn't depend on someone and has a constant growth in price, in which is mostly for long term purposes and had its assurance that it will continue rising.

If ever that Bitcoin would be centralized (we all hope that it would not yet it depends on its developer, Satoshi) OR it would have a certainty that its price will be stable and would be on constant growth, it might reach the price of Gold yet could only be possible for a short period of time.
2665  Economy / Economics / Re: What brings economy of a country down. on: July 24, 2020, 01:26:10 PM
There are many things or factors affecting why the economy of a certain country is experiencing a down fall. Some common things are:

1. Governance - the type of government usually dictates on how it will manage the governing power it have to create useful plans and projects that can create opportunities that will rise up the economy and how it will manage the budget allotment on certain sectors to make the economy improving and alive.

2. Natural Resources - each and every country have different natural resources that are only unique and that can be found on their country which varies on the season it have making unique natural resources live. Lack or shortage on the natural resources which are commonly used as raw material for products that are made for import and export totally affects the economic status of a country.

3. Man Power - humans or its citizens are the living wealth of a country because they are the ones working forward to keep the economy alive since they stand on different professions and purposes in a country.

4. Educational Status - it is a very important factor that is needed to be considered. Productive people must have attained a good education to be able to become more useful to the country and lacking of good education can lead to serious problem such as lack of discipline and coordination.

Those were some of the key points why the economy of the country is falling down. Those were the important elements that a country must improve to be able to have a progress on its economic state and development.
2666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies take my advice on: July 24, 2020, 09:58:52 AM
Exactly. That was the brightest thing and practical way to do. NEVER ever borrow money to use on investment or trading. If you are really sincere and wanted to do trading and investment, better use your own money. If you do not have enough money to do such things, better set back for that was already a sign that you are still not ready for engagement into trading nor investing.

There is always a saying that I always read and become the most common advice among newbies that upon deciding to invest or trade "only put up the amount you have and only you can afford" which means that give only what you have. If you do not have any, then basically you are still not ready for investment and trading. Borrowing money will just give you headache and frustrations thinking how can you be able to pay back the money you have borrowed most specially when the investment you have done takes time and same thing with the trading. It would be such a relief to use your own money so whatever happens, it would be just your problem within yourself and you have nothing to worry how can you pay your debt into other people. People must know especially for the newbies that trading and investing is like risking your money to seek for better opportunities that it will gain profit. It would be so nice and calm to risk your own money rather than having that conscience in your mind risking other people's money that might fall into disaster.
2667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin market continues to gain momentum on: July 24, 2020, 09:11:16 AM
That would be a great news indeed that Altcoins are starting to gain momentum despite of the presence of pandemic. This is a really great news to have specially this days. It was so nice to know that there are still sudden improvement on the prices of Altcoins since its been too long when the prices of Altcoins have gained some positive movement. It was just like when the Bitcoin price pumps at the month of January this year when Altcoins shows a positive response on its price and experience a sudden dip when the price of Bitcoin have been affected when the pandemic have started at the month of March in this year also. Good thing that at least now Altcoins are making its way to have such improvement on its prices which is a good indication and news most specially for Altcoin holders. May this positive momentum continue despite of the pandemic although cryptocurrencies are not that directly affected by the situation.
2668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be fooled on: July 24, 2020, 08:05:25 AM
You must not really get easily fooled by hear says because if you do really know what you are doing, why would you care to listen into other people's opinions that because of the pandemic the cryptocurrency would come into an end. If you are already staying for quite too long in this industry, you must better know that we have already faced lots of problems, crisis and other things that affect the price and behavior of the cryptocurrencies in the market. We have already surpassed all of those and still cryptocurrency is still continuosly working despite of those problems.

Just focus on what you know and do not care of what will the other people would say. Trust the process and your own gut feel and decision because in the end, it would be your own fate not theirs. So better do everything that you think would be best and will benefit you. But still learn to balance if the opinion is relevant or good for you because not all opinions are meant to be bad. Better do hear some opinions but let yourself do the decision making not them.
2669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM ICOs, what we can do? on: July 24, 2020, 07:35:22 AM
It is hard to say what we can exactly do to those scam ICOs because at the first place, identifying if am ICO is real or a scam one is already a hard task and a much more challenging thing to do. The reason is because even the scammers themselves have already evolve their strategies and way of thinking on how they will execute their plan of creating scam ICOs that will really look to be so real that is why it becomes deceiving to the naked eye looking at it on the first glance and identify it if it is real or a scam one.

I think what we can do here is to help each other out on investigating suspicious ICOs and letting every members of this forum to investigate and spill out if it is a scam or not. In that way, we can lessen the number of victims most specially the newbies that will be victimized by those scam ICOs. That is the only way on how we can somehow control the situation. But it would need to exert effort and time to better identify if an ICO is a scam. But surely it would be worth it and be beneficial for everyone.
2670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In what way can the crypto world help fight against Covid 19? on: July 24, 2020, 07:01:30 AM
Recently, TokenPocket has hosted a WeWearMask event to call on the community's joint effort in the fight against the Corona virus.
https://twitter.com/TokenPocket_TP/status/1246791435103293441
The participants will be prized with a  total of $2,300 and more. I think this is a good move to set up an example of how the crypto world can help to stop the virus. More projects should be doing this as well.

This was a really great initiative on how crypto world can help to promote wearing mask on people specially during this quarantine. This just make it a point that crypto world cannot just help when it comes to funding to support projects on how we can fight back against the infectious disease which is the covid-19 pandemic. With the prize pool being inserted on the campaign, surely there would be many participants that will be joining and that could lead to a massive promotion of wearing mask which can encourage many people to do the same thing. This event will surely gain massive acknowledgement and promotion to help the government and health care officials to give awareness on the importance of wearing mask at this time of pandemic.

But I think instead of baiting prize pool to gain many participants to join the campaign, this campaign must just serve to be a crowd funding event and the money gathered will be donated on the hospitals to eventually help them for funding since it is also one of the greatest problem being faced by healthcare facilities since they are already lacking of funds to buy equipments to fight against covid-19.
2671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which website do you usually go to get your news and casino reviews? on: July 24, 2020, 06:30:35 AM
I do not usually subscribe or follow any news pages about gambling and casinos because if ever I wanted to know something new or anything about the latest happenings in the gambling industry, there is Google wherein I can just input the information I wanted to know and it can already provide the needed information for me to know. Also, this forum serves as another source of news and information since many members are updated on the latest happenings whether about Bitcoin, economics and other stuffs so whenever I wanted to know something and it's hard for me to find it on the internet, I just roam around in here and surprisingly I find more than enough of the fresh news and issues as well as reviews about certain gambling or casino sites which makes me more aware and updated. With that, there is no need for me to subscribe or follow news sites since everything can be gained on the internet and this forum.
2672  Economy / Economics / Re: Interesting perspective of Investors on: July 24, 2020, 04:20:43 AM
That was quite interesting to know that investors are really up into holding their Bitcoins. But I think they will still hold into their Bitcoins even the price will reach over $10,000 price mark because everyone wanted to increase the price value of the Bitcoins they were currently holding. What is just bothering me is that the basis of the data came up from a social media poll which is Twitter that is for me not a reliable basis to support a claim since everyone can take part on it and with that, we cannot achieve the accuracy and reliability of the data to support the claim that we wanted to present.

But other than that, it was pretty good that at least as of this moment, people are now being wise and appreciative to recognize the worth and importance of holding into their Bitcoins which means that people are now understanding the essence of Bitcoin's existence. Looking forward to see that many more people will also take part on engaging and holding into not just Bitcoin but as well as into the other cryptocurrencies in the market.
2673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why lots of people got scam easily on: July 23, 2020, 10:52:39 PM
There are lots of things why people get scammed easily but there are just a few that I think would be the appropriate things that I usually observe making people to fall into scam.

1. Absence of Knowledge - people get easily scammed or fool most probably by scammers because of the lack or absence of knowledge about a new thing being introduced to them. Scammers are making use of this weakness to take advantage of those people and that is when negotiation comes in and so the rest of the process and then little do the person know he got already scammed.

2. Desperation - some comes into what they think are easy ways to earn money because of desperation that they need to have urgent money and since they find an opportunity to get that "instant money" they would risk anything just to be able to earn money which is another weakness being taken advantage by the scammers.

Lastly,

3. Greed - people nowadays are too greedy and not contented that is why even though they have already enough or more than enough, they would still risk the thing of getting into a greater opportunity that mostly leads into a scam.

Those were some of my brief observation why people are certainly being scammed easily and because of those weaknesses, scammers are always having the opportunity to take advantage of it.
2674  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we rely on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency? on: July 23, 2020, 08:34:19 PM
If being reliant means that it will make funds for you to spend on your daily necessities in life, then it is a no. We already know that the price and behavior of the market is very volatile to just depend your daily necessities only on Bitcoin and into any other cryptocurrencies in the market. Well there are times that you can earn a handful or tons of money if you were really good at trading and investing but those were just like sprouting and not stable. Being reliant on cryptocurrencies will give you sometimes good and bad results. At the first time you got in here, you must treat this as a secondary source of income and not a primary one because of its volatility.

If you do want to be reliant into something that will give you stable source of income for funding your daily necessities, better seek for job and since we are on the pandemic, it is still hard to work since job opportunities are very rare. But before the pandemic, you must have come to think of it that earnings in cryptocurrency are not always good all the time so you must have always save every cent to have something to spend at times like this.
2675  Economy / Economics / Re: Very strange most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few on: July 23, 2020, 07:59:50 PM
Actually it doesn't really sound nor look strange at all because as expected, Bitcoin was the most popular cryptocurrency that people know and it was like what we call a trendsetter on which people do know it because it is the latest trend making it more popular. As we all know, whenever there is a new trend, whatever it is, people will surely patronize and get to engage into such thing just to say that they are in to the latest trend. Also, Bitcoin was the very first cryptocurrency that is introduced to them by their friends or relatives that are trying to convince or educate them about engaging into cryptocurrencies. Whenever people hear about cryptocurrencies, what comes into their mind at first is Bitcoin and that's make it a generic identity about cryptocurrency making Bitcoin to stand more popular even at normal or ordinary people who are still not into cryptocurrency.

With such reasons, there is really no doubt why most people do prefer to buy Bitcoin because it is the only cryptocurrency they know and familiar with. When it comes to trust, many people do also say it can be more reliable compared to other cryptocurrencies which are Altcoins that is why the obvious response from people is to buy and use Bitcoin than Altcoins.
2676  Economy / Economics / Re: China economy and how they handle Covid-19. on: July 23, 2020, 07:28:03 PM
This just shows how China can fastly respond to the need of its people since it have its very rich economy and resources to easily came up into plans on how the citizens will be properly disciplined to follow certain rules and regulations of their government to act and have a solution with regards to the case of covid-19 pandemic infection in their country. It's not already a surprise that China can manage to do such an incredible thing because of the strict government they have and people are really cooperative to follow since it is really the response that must be done amid with the existence of the pandemic.

China have certainly and properly manage its people very well which exhibits how the government and citizens will do an efficient task fast specially when they are coordinating with each other. Other countries can do also such thing if people and government would only allow coordination to take place. But as what I can see the problem is that there are lots of complaints coming from both parties like what is currently happening on the country where I reside plus the people are hard headed not following certain instructions which leads for the number of cases to still continue to rise. Any country can also do the same thing that China did when it comes to discipline to at least ease the number of infection. What becomes the main edge of China is having their rich economy and resources to do a fast response on the said matter despite of the fact that the cases started from their country.
2677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sending in fake ID for KYC on: July 23, 2020, 06:48:59 PM
At the very first base and it was already obvious, creating or making fake IDs whatever the reason is considered to be illegal for the fact that it is against the law jurisdiction because IDs are considered to be legal documents and most of the IDs are released by the government to be able to verify or identify the identity of a certain individual. It makes no sense to reason out that making fake IDs are just for the sake of passing through the KYC. For the record, KYC process is an important process to better know an individual and if you were just going to fake it, then I think it would be equivalent to imprisonment because faking legal documents are classified to be a crime.

Yes, KYC process on crypto is really risky for the fact that you do not know who the real ones asking for your information but if you are really sure about the project, then what's the doubt? Also, there are other things that uses KYC. It is a process that is very important to better know the client and if you would just fake it by sending unreal IDs, it might just lead you into worst scenario so better undergo the legal process to avoid dealing on serious cases related on doing fake IDs.
2678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you sure crypto is the future currency? on: July 23, 2020, 02:32:34 PM
With the technological advancement we have where the usage of cryptocurrency lies, we can say that cryptocurrency is the future of currency. But as of the moment, it is still not widely accepted and we all know that there are still countries and governments that are opposing or against the usage of cryptocurrencies. Not just that, the adaptation which is needed for it to be widely acceptable is not yet achieved. It would still take time for that thing to happen because there are still lots of things that are needed to be fixed and to be considered for it to be acceptable most specially by normal or ordinary people who are claiming that they cannot still afford to adapt on using cryptocurrencies due to technicalities involved. Learning and understanding must be the first thing that is needed to be done so that people can truly know the essence and importance of cryptocurrencies for them to be able to accept it and that is when wide and massive adaptation would happen and that would be the greatest turn over for cryptocurrencies to be claimed as the future of currency.
2679  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know if the project is fake? on: July 23, 2020, 02:01:12 PM
Basically nowadays, fake projects do really look deceiving. You know why? It is because fake projects are most likely to look like real and legitimate on bare eyes and at first glance for the team behind those fake projects have already improve and evolve the way their project is present to look presentable and attractive to many people on which is unknowingly fake at the real deal.

Identifying fake projects nowadays would be a great challenge and it will need thorough research, effort, time as well as observation to be able to verify if such project is a real or a fake one. Nowadays, fake projects are doing a real good camouflage and dress up like a real one on which it will just be revealed most of the time when the project is already done and they have already achieved their goal. The old days of easily identifying fake projects seems to be over because those scammers who create fake projects are now being so much wise to create fake projects that can be deceiving to many people in general.
2680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never invest in any cryptocurrencies! on: July 23, 2020, 01:31:20 PM
I think most people approach crypto in the wrong way. With "get rich quick" approach.

If you come to crypto with such an attitude, you should never ever invest.


Honestly, that was totally agreeable because many people really think that getting in touch with cryptocurrency could get you into the path of having an easy money or easy earning upon engaging. But when they have already come up into the scenario of first starting to understand what the real deal on cryptocurrency is, they seems to be out of their mind and impatient to get into deciding to invest to any crypto.

That was totally the misconception among people who are just new into cryptocurrency and just have heard about cryptocurrency from somewhere and does not have any prior knowledge about it. Many new investors end up failing on their investments because they are too impatient and wanted to see instant results. If that would be the attitude of an individual, well honestly he must never invest into any cryptocurrency as long as he doesn't understand anything about investment. Cryptocurrency in general is not that easy as ordinary people think it is. Crypto industry is not the path on getting "instantly rich" because there is no such thing as instant.
