But despite of these numerous needs of the referees to wear some form of headset, people are still not complacent by the fact because they don't know what's going on behind it. It's best give the respective camps some headwears too so that there won't be an anomaly and a suspicion won't be raised because they can also hear what's going on behind these headsets.

Speaking of these headset concerns, I think that was just for communicating with the panel.

In the panel, I truly believed that not all personnel there will likely participate in the ongoing manipulation if there's any. If they will do some shitting with the results and speak that to the referee, they will likely be heard by those people around them.

Besides, the announcement of the winner won't be decided by the referees. They will just raise the hands of the winner. The manipulation will be at the hands of the judges and no need for them to speak with the referees thru headsets.
Too many conspiracies as for these headsets, people are forgetting that it will still be visible on who is clearly going to be the winner of a match. I agree that it could just be for communication and you are right that it is still the judges that will give points unless there is a clear KO or TKO for which is visible to everyone ans not just for the ref.

Hell yeah, BONK is a shitcoin. It’s going to zero.
If we put our money into this, we deserve to get rekt.
Seriously, this is complete nonsense and discredits the space.

Rally the pumpers to pump and dump and then tell everyone about Coin burn for legitimacy. This is the shitcoin playbook.
For every shitcoin this is how it goes, the earliest folks get the money and then the late ones get all the rekt.

Even some investors already experienced to lose their money for investing in shitcoins in the past, they will not learn if they're still greedy to earn instantly even it's risky. So it's not surprising if many investors fall in this trap to ride the soaring price. But yes it's now falling so those who bought at peaked are probably worrying now. Bonk is a shitcoin and you'll know it if you did a research and not just by relying on the price that had a drastic increased that's why you invest. Again, DYOR and don't invest blindly.
Yeah, many are not learning from the past and instead of learning, they're opening themselves to more of it and thinking that it's not going to go anywhere but to keep on going up until it's not.

So, this is uptime. Those that will just look at the percentage and numbers might think that it's quite funny and think it's all about the price. But anyway, is there a point in time when bitcoin's network has been interrupted? The only thing that I can remember when transactions were too slow and crazily high was during the 2017 high but even though, bitcoin was still up at that time and wasn't interrupted at all.
3084  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: PI Network! A huge trap[Warning!] on: January 07, 2023, 09:57:52 AM
I have been mining Pi for over two years.  I haven't done KYC yet.  I have pi 1200+.  I hear from many people that its future is very good.  Many people say that it is a scam project.  If it is listed on an exchange sometime in the future and its price is 100$+.  Then the wheel of many people's lives will turn from here.
I've read the same thoughts years ago and until now PI is still not yet on any exchange. And looks like they really have no plans at all to list it based on their website. But if your words become reality then that's good for you and everyone who holds it.

Pi is in Enclosed Mainnet. Pi Network isn’t affiliated with and hasn’t authorized any exchange listing.

I've already said those that are hopeful with it, much better to decrease that expectation.

PBA is winning, more or less 17k fans each game if the series will be pushed to a game 7 do-or-die final, this is really something that will create a huge income for this league, Bay Area is really fighting and even without an import they manage to win and tie the series again, it will be another adjustments that we will see from both teams.

Game 5 is very important and I'm sure both teams know it. The advantage of the winner in game 5 will put a lot of pressure on the losing team. The winning team can end the series in game 6.
As we know, this is like when the league is in the finals and since Ginebra likely has the most fans, this has to be expected when they're in the finals. Yeah, game 5 is like where the momentum starts for whoever wins it but I'd like to see it go to game 7.  Tongue

Well, that's what people want and that's what the management want as well so it might happen like you said. A win-win for both of them. Audience and those who are watching from home are happy especially the Ginebra fans and at the same time, the management is happy as well because they will be getting much revenue from the audiences.

I'd like to see it going to a Game 7 but like I said, I think that the Ginebra will end it in 6 games because if it will go to a Game 7, they might lose it and knowing that the Dragons can defeat them even without an import, it's a threat for them if it will be stretched to 7 games. It's only my observation. Smiley
It's like, in the long run, Dragons has got the chance to win for game 7 but whatever it is. Even if I want game 7, I still want Ginebra to have this finals end with the title.
3086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify next bitcoin or FANG on: January 07, 2023, 07:59:39 AM
I would say it's not important to miss the inception stage, as long as you could focus on how you could make some sort of profit with the stage you are given.
It's the opposite these days, people are looking for the earliest stage of the projects for them to have that advantage and capitalize on the situation that they're the pioneers. They've bought at the lowest possible price and when it's about to get launched, the price will start to increase which will result in many dumping it as soon as possible. That's where they're focusing and forgetting the essence of having these projects in existence. The developers are happy with that because they're the first to dump and when they've got enough money on their pockets, they'll just ignore what they've planned for if there's any for the long term.
3087  Local / Pilipinas / Re: bakit habang tumatagal lalong natatakot ang iba na magtiwala sa crypto on: January 07, 2023, 12:58:13 AM
Actually, common naman talaga yung mga project na mayroon magagandang reviews at feedback sa iba't ibang platforms tsaka yung mga paid services ay madaling makita kung sakali pero yung mismong market nila during release ay kadalasan bumabagsak talaga mostly dahil sa management ng team dahil may mga options naman silang para macounter yung automatic bagsak during every release ng projects. Exception na lang siguro yung sobrang gagandang project like may mga partners with big companies na malabong bumabagsak yung market during release.
Karamihan kasi sa mga ganyang projects, asahan mo na pag na launch o na list na sa market at exchanges, paniguradong magda-dump sila. Ganyan lang kadalasan nangyayari kahit na yung sobrang gagandang project tapos na list sa magandang exchange, dump agad kinakaharap nila.
Ang labanan lang talaga sa long term, kung sino may commitment at tama ka sa sinabi mo kung sino ang may mahusay na management kasi hindi naman basta basta lang din icontrol ang market at mismong project development.

Magkakaroon lang ng panibagong hype kung mag rerelease ng bagong game since yun lang ang point na magiinvest ulit yung mga early players then repeat cycle na mtra2p nnmn mga late investors. Ito taalaga ang buhay ng investment.  Cheesy
Kaso sa kanila, wala ng tiwala mga investors kahit na magkaroon pa sila ng mga bagong releases malabo pa sa ngayon na dagsain ulit sila kasi bear market pa rin.
Pero kung sa hype lang talaga, need ulit nila ng isang malakihang hype para makabawi sila at yung mga naipit na investors. Ang problema lang, karamihan kasi sa mga investors na nasa loss ay tanggap na yung talo at kahit wala ng bawi. Kaya ang pwedeng mangyari, hindi na din mag iinvest sa kanila.
3089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 06, 2023, 05:28:23 PM
Anyway, Bay Area won game 4 so the series is tied again. No import, No problem.
I'm starting to feel that this will go on to game 7.
Ginebra will win in 6 games Tongue.
It's been written already. I like the series to go to a Game 7, but I don't think it will happen. I don't know why but my instinct is saying that it will not Cheesy.
We will see it.  Grin
I think it's more fun to see that this series will be longer. The hype and drama that it creates are really enjoying to see, this is the type of finals that we've been waiting for.
And this is more special because the finals are for the first time in history with a guest team and they're not just a simple guest team but really, a big and strong team.
3090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 06, 2023, 02:39:17 PM
Seems like the league is very much manipulated, look at what Bay area players claiming that ref calls are being manipulated and they got penalty for stating their sentiments regarding to that so that they will shut up. There' no free speech there so not surprising to see that they will stretch that series since this is damn business. I'm not surprised if Ginebra will win since this could bring hype to the fans compare if Bay Area Dragons will win the champ this season.
That's a bad impression for a guest team and they'll always remember that whenever they go and have it compared to any league that they've been in. Can't help that the damage has been done and the Dragons have won. We're seeing how most of their players were really contributors to the team.

Anyway, Bay Area won game 4 so the series is tied again. No import, No problem.
I'm starting to feel that this will go on to game 7.

@OP, how you doing, which exchange/swap you chose?
For some reason Op is no longer present and active in the thread he made afterwards, I doubt he really needs an answer to what he asked because he never replied to a single response in his thread.
From every response there is bisq which is highly recommended because Op expects anonymous exchange only he has to download bisq.network and this can be reticent but bisq can be trusted as many forum members recommend it.
I think that he's asking a legitimate question because, unlike the other people that create a thread, there's no plugging to his question.
Well, anyway maybe it's already done and he's able to swap the BTC that he's got into ETH and the thread's purpose is done and should be closed already.
3092  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: SIM Registration: Anong Dapat Ipag-alala? on: January 06, 2023, 10:07:55 AM
Definitely, kaya kahit na medyo alanganin ako dito sa SIM Registration, thinking sa mga cases like this, naiisip ko na kailangan na nga talaga na ang bawat sim ay maregister para matrace itong mga kolokoy na itong malakas mangscam.  
Sana iimplement nila ang pagpirma ng KYC sa pagbili ng sim card, hindi iyong bili sim muna then register dapat, kasabay ang pagregister ng pagbili ng sim.
Sa mga progressive at first world countries, isa ito sa meron sila at lahat ng citizens nila registered ang mga sim cards. Kaya magandang hakbang to sa government natin na isakatuparan na ito kasi parang last administration ata ito na propose pero hindi na approve kasi damay pati mga social media accounts at ibang online accounts, inalis muna yun at tama na sim lang ang nasa registration para itong mga text spams at scams na yan matrace at matigil. Sa ngayon, mukhang okay ang implementation kahit na nagkaroon ng aberya nitong nakaraan, base lang sa experience ko, di na ako masyado nakakareceive ng spam text.

Sa tingin ko hindi pa handa ang government at ang mga tele company para sa ganito kalaking hakbang maraming problem ang mga teleco at sa tingin ko dagdag ito sa malaking problema, lalo na kung magleleak ang mga information na ito ay malaking problema para sa kanila. Pero lets see kung paano nila mahahandle ito ngayon start na ang registration ng sims, sigurado nagkakagulo na or baka mapuno na ang mga database nila, hindi ko pa sinusubukan magregister dahil malamang ay madodown ang kanilang website, at yun na nga ang aking nababalitaan kaya marami sa mgga kakilala ko na nagreregister kapag madaling araw dahil mabilis daw kaysa sa umaga.

Nakakatakot lang dahil laganat ang mga fake websites,phishings etc dahil sa sim card registration marami na rin akong mga post na nakikita sa facebook kung saan nasscam ang kanilang funds lalo na sa Gcash dahil madali lamang makuha ang OTP or mahack ang gcash sa isang text laman kung walang sapat na kaalaman ang gumagamit nito. Mag double ingat tayo sigurado ay maraming ibat ibang paraan nanaman ang gagawin ng mga scammers para makapandaya ng tao.

Maganda sana ang sim card registration dahil malaki ang maiiwasan nila lalo na sa mga scammers online, ngunit hihintayin ko muna kung magwowork ba ito, alam naman naten ang systema dito sa pilipinas, kung effective ang ito sana ay mahule ang mga scammers etc sa pamamagitan ng pagtatrace ng mga sim card nila. Ang inaalala ko lang ay baka madaling mabutasan ang registration nila paano kung fake ang ID etc. or paano kung maraming reports hahanapin ba talaga or mapapanagot ba talaga ang mga nakaregister dito.
Handa man o hindi handa, ang tingin ko naman okay na may nasimulan na kesa matengga ulit ng matagal. Yung mga problema na kakaharapin sa pag implement niyan, bahala na din sila mag resolba kasi wala din naman mangyayari kung wala silang hakbang na ginawa sa sim registration.
Yang leaking of information, isa talaga yan sa magiging problema at parang expected na ng lahat na magaganap yan. Pero bigyan lang din natin ng pagkakataon kung ano ba ang kalalabasan nito hanggang April.
3093  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin Island Retreat - Sasama ba kayo? on: January 06, 2023, 09:22:00 AM
Same thoughts. Hehe
Mas maganda sana kung wala ng registration fee at hindi limited ang slots ng sa ganon yung gustong pumunta habang nasa boracay ay magka interes na sumali. Kaso ang layo ng venue para samin na taga south luzon, kaya kahit gustuhin man eh imposible at isa pa ang laki din ng magagastos. Anyway, maganda naman may ganitong klaseng event ang Pouch kasi mas marami pang maiimpluwensiyahan na tao ang gumamit din ng Bitcoin at maging aware sa uses nito.
Maganda na masuportahan sila sa ganyang event pero yun nga lang marami sa atin dito medyo malayo sa venue. Sana nalang sa susunod medyo malapit sa mga lugar natin kahit na may fee siguro laban na.

Sa tingin ang target talaga ng conference na ito ay yung mga tourist na pumupunta talaga sa boracay. Binibuild kasi nila ito na maging Bitcoin island kaya gusto nila na doon ang venue. Mapapansin nyo sa schedule ng program ay kasama yung mga pouch.ph partnered store owner sa conference na ito.
Doon sila nag start kaya ang target nila lahat ng mga tao na nandoon turista man o mga locals doon. Maganda naman start nila kaya ang mga ganitong conference dapat rin suportahan ng mga malapit doon o kaya ng mga naniniwala sa kanila. Magandang initiative na ginawa nila at sana ma-extend yung mga ganitong conference sa Metro Manila at iba pang karatig probinsiya para makarinig ng mga magagandang kwento ng bitcoin adoption.
3094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto payments for online purchases: Trends in 2022 on: January 05, 2023, 11:47:09 PM
48% of the transactions happened with bitcoin which proves that bitcoin is still the King of crypto even after we have thousands of alt coins.
And that will increase in the next years to come. The mainstream media are all in for bitcoin and that's going to give it more time and exposure for people that still don't know it yet.
Aside from that, there could be some other altcoins that might also gain a percentage of it but mainly will come I think from stable coins like USDT even if it's known that it can freeze someone's fund whether purposely or randomly.
3095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin investments have become risky this day. on: January 05, 2023, 11:21:45 PM
There's no exception with all of them because all altcoins are risky. You can't even be sure with the stablecoins right now due to some of them falling.
That's why someone who's investing in altcoins is not just a random investor but they know where they're putting their money.
And it has been ever like this. OP says altcoins have become a risky investment these days, but the truth is that even during bull markets altcoins are dangerous investments. If an investor picks a scam altcoin, he may lose his entire investment, despite being in green market where the prices of cryptocurrencies in general are rising. Moreover, altcoins which were fristly created with a legit purpose may also fall down during a positive season, if investors lose interest for it for different causes. For that reason, it's always necessary to be very careful with altcoins' investment, regardless of market's conditions.
Yeah, think of it at all times that they're all risky no matter what the project is, the risk is always attached to all of them. More with the bull run, more scam projects are coming out with that because the enthusiasm of all investors is there during that time.
And with those scam projects, they're taking the advantage of that moment because they know that everyone will start to pick and invest those projects that might give them wealth in a short period of time.
3096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from BONK on: January 05, 2023, 10:55:25 PM
It's now falling. People will never learn about the past mistakes they did with meme coins, now, I guess that there will be new series' of these types of hype, pump, and dump coins again.
Those that are new are likely to fall for this but those that have seen it come and go will mostly ignore it. I saw have learned the lesson from the past and they're not buying it because they know that it will fall as soon as possible. It will not be surprising if this coin will have lesser volume within the next days.

There are many people who don't give up and they are struggling all the time but they are neither rich nor successful they are hard worker and die maaking their ends meet.
This is the reality of life, whether you're in first or third-world countries, there are people and workers that are in this situation. They're struggling in life and they have to work daily just to survive and make ends meet.
But to those that are sick and want to get out of the situation, they're changing their routine and looking for better opportunities because it is draining that you're in the same situation again and again until you've grown older and you've got nothing because the salary you're receiving are all just going to bills and needs and you've got nothing left anymore.
3098  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Reasons why the 95% of future traders lose all of their money on: January 05, 2023, 09:25:39 PM
Most often, traders choose the wrong strategy, or simply do not know how to work correctly. As a result, most often this leads to a negative result.
Everyone believes has got a good start by having any strategy that they know would be good as they test it. But sooner or later, after testing it, there goes the result, and will depend on its outcome. If it's not worth it at all then that means that strategy really has failed and they've chosen the wrong one but if it works, then they're the geniuses and that strategy works for them perfectly and makes money for them. But the reality in trading, no matter what strategy you've got, everyone has the high chance of just losing from it.
3099  Economy / Economics / Re: Your way of living the wage what you need to live normal life on: January 05, 2023, 08:54:29 PM
If the government wants to get involved then they have to increase the wages and the needs of the workers for a decent standard of living, but each job has a different salary and they have a life according to their income, even though there are regulations determining the minimum wage but it will not be enough to rent a place because their salary is not enough for that and does not include other main needs that must be prioritized. But some countries for a minimum wage of $250 per month is enough for a year's rent, decent housing and not far from urban areas.
Even if the government pushes for higher salaries for everybody, there are companies that can't follow it because they've got a standard profit and they're not as big as the corporations. So, the ones that will be hurt by this law are those small enterprises. It's either they'll remove their staff and work their assess there as the owners or the employee will just have to accept that no increase will happen upon explanation by the owner. But I know that despite that, there are too many small scale business owners that are also generous.

Well, it's your money in the first place and you should be the one to dictate what you want to do with it and not others. But if you think that's the right thing to do with your money and just rely on others' predictions then that's what you think is best for you. If you know that you're going to lose through others' prediction then better if you lose it with your own prediction and decision. That's a mindset that I think have to be changed but if that's what you really like to do, so be it.
What is important is knowing how to use your money, especially if it is gambling. And if you want to join your friends to form a sports bettor team, you should choose trusted friends because that will make you comfortable placing bets with them. And for predictions, you can work with your friends to find more information to choose the right team. It shouldn't take a long time because everyone can search for every trusted source of information so that you and your friends can immediately place bets.
The thing is, what if you can't find friends that share the same interest as you? You'll have to find that group that's into sports betting and since you think that it's a good thing to join a group of bettors.
You'll be influenced by that group and anything that they might say will start to affect you because that's what you like until you will realize if something goes wrong that it's not the ideal thing that you want to experience.
