Personally, I would divide my profit like 70% cash then the remaining 30% for cryptocurrency.

Unfortunately, in the Philippines, any income earned should be paid in our legal tender- which is cash. If an employee receives anything that is not cash as income, it will be prohibited under the law. Assuming that Congress has amended the Labor Code and allowed cryptocurrency to be paid as income, then I would happily embrace it. But, the key here is by dividing your income to like a ratio of 70/30 or 80/20.

Receiving all of your income as cryptocurrency can be definitely risky on your part due to its volatility. In addition, the company also falls on the risk of losing more amounts of cash due to cryptocurrencies volatility.

What is your purpose of joining this forum? Are you eager to rank-up in order to participate in campaign signatures? Bear in mind that in order to rank-up, you definitely have to contribute something valuable or interesting to warrant any merits from the members in the forum.

The problem with most newbies is that they focus too much on ranking-up while compromising their post quality. Remove that kind of mindset and change it to a more proactive purpose- which is actual contribution. The more you chase on merits, the more that the latter would avoid you and members would be inclined to ignore your posts.

If you really intend on ranking-up, then focus again on actual contribution. In that way, merits would be the one chasing your account.

I remember back in 2018, I used to accompany my brother to casinos where I would be the one to stop him from his gambling sprees. Based on my observation, there are actually lots of women who gamble on casinos. Usually, these women are accompanied by some rich Chinese guy who let those woman play on their behalf.

In addition, there were also some arcade games here in the Philippines where some people bet their money (Tom's world- racing game). Mostly, women participate and spend most of their time betting inside the arcade.

The bottomline is- gender is irrelevant as to gambling. Anyone can bet either for entertainment or for profit. It just depends upon the individuals need at the time being.

No and it never crossed my mind that people could happen to worship money as their basis of their religion.

What makes BTC so valuable is its high price on the market and its volatility. Due to its nature, people have associated it in making it the perfect investment either for short-term (high volatility) and long-term. Now if people, for some reason, worshipped BTC due to its potential, then it is almost the same as worshipping money- which is temporary in nature.

Imagine Satoshi's reaction if he were to read this. The purpose of this invention was to remove any third-party intermediaries and to see that it has evolved now to becoming a religion, that would definitely drive his mind crazy.

More than anything, I just hope that Nesthy takes the win here for our 2nd Gold Medal in the country. But even if she losses, her guaranteed medal is enough to acknowledge her skill and prowess. Imagine, most of our olympians received little to no support from the government and the latter relatively demands so much from them.

I do hope that after this year's olympics, our government will acknowledge the need to support financially these olympians since it requires so much effort, time, and resources to produce world-class athletes that compete with other athletes around the globe.

Man, that was a heartbreaking race for both the RedBulls and Norris. Man, seeing Seb finishing 2nd and going to the podium makes me really emotional as it kinda reminds me of his glory days in RedBull.

Nevertheless, congratulations to Esteban for winning this Hungarian Grand Prix! He was really consistent on this race and it showed his skill throughout the race. Lastly, the battle between Hamilton and Alonzo was a sight to behold- Alonzo still has it.

Depends but like what I previously mentioned to questions like this one, beginner day traders lose 97% of their investment and only 3% earn as much as a bank teller. If you aim for long-term, I highly suggest that you focus on investing than trading.

Remember that day trading can be profitable but the risks are so high that a beginner trader may put himself in a lot of risks. If you have any prior experience as to trading, then you can do both trading and investing at the same time. But if you have no knowledge or anything whatsoever in trading, then I highly suggest that you HODL for long-term than day trading.

I definitely agree with this statement.

This is true- if I could also turn back time, I would not use my BTCs as the currency for my online gambling spree. When I joined this forum last 2017, some of the proceeds that I received from participating in campaign signatures went straight to some gambling websites. To cut the story short, I lost like 0.05 BTCs before. If we were to convert its price now, 0.05 BTCs = $2,000 but before, it's converted USD price was below $100.

Lesson learned- if possible, always avoid betting your precious BTCs since you will never know that its price may skyrocket again 5-10 years from now.

Hi, thank you very much for your quick response.

As someone who plays online chess frequently, having multiple game formats can be really exciting as it gathers more players exploring the said unfamiliar territory. I remember, I read somewhere in reddit that the main programmer of lichess (he held an AMA) mentioned that he does not plan on making other game formats due to its complexity.

While I do think that this project is very ambitious with its vision and mission, I nevertheless support it; I really look forward to its creation and implementation. When can we expect this project to materialize?

I think the process of achieving acceptance of cryptocurrencies solely depends on the government. If they see that cryptocurrencies are a threat to the economy or to the country, then this would affect its overall acceptance. This also applies to physical casinos in accepting cryptocurrencies as a payment.

Like what you have mentioned, lots of online gambling websites require KYC documents due to stringent regulations imposed by their respective government. Since online gambling websites can easily get away due to their nature, physical casinos, on the other hand, have much further stringent rules- that is why we won't see physical casinos accepting cryptocurrencies in the near future.

While I do respect your opinion, I do disagree with your statement.

Remember that this forum has lots of traffic from people who are not even a member in this forum. Supposing that they are curious about a certain project, they can utilize the search bar function and search the said ponzi project. If they happen to see that someone reported it, it would definitely help them avoid investing into it.

That is why, I find posts like these useful not only to veteran members but also to newbies as well. In addition, all of us started as newbies and seeing projects that offer high returns can trick us.

Hmm, I think gambling, in general, has no specific guide. Remember that the nature of gambling involves around "risk" and "odds" and there cannot exist a guide that can help you specifically with gambling.

There may be some guides in poker, blackjack, etc. but those guides focus more on the gameplay and some tips on lowering the risks. But a guide that caters specifically to gambling involve only some pre-cautionary measures (i.e. self-control, discipline, etc.).

Just a quick question, what notable differences can you offer against other competitive chess online websites (i.e. lichess, chess24, and chess.com)? The problem with most online chess websites is having the dedicated number of people playing on your website. Most online chess websites offer subscriptions that provide you access with chess engines for checking and other tutorial modes as well.

However, I do see the potential of having tournaments in attracting players. The problem that I see is that, classical chess format held online can be quite dangerous due to the presence of chess engines. So, how will you address these issues?

I definitely agree with your statement.

I think the differential in treatment is focused more on the merits earned rather than the ranking of the forum members. Remember that some of the legendary users in the forum ranked up before the merit system was introduced. All of the high ranking members who started in this forum after the implementation of the merit system deserve all the recognition and praise as they literally climbed their way up to the forum.

Like what mk4 mentioned, if there are any biases, it would be to users who earned a significant amount of merits on a relatively short of amount of time.

Short answer: NO
Long answer: VERY POSSIBLE

The short answer is NO because fiat has been categorized by the whole world as the legal tender in our daily transactions. In order for fiat to be replaced by something different, all countries must first agree to the change and they must also view it as the main source or instrument for their transactions.

The long answer is YES because in the far future where digitalized transactions may take over, cryptocurrencies, along with the blockchain technology, is just more efficient and safe in the transactions. Having to pay digitally would be the convenient road to take in which the future may adopt.

I think money is not an issue as there are some children who have their own moneys from their parent's credit card or their personal savings.

I would not entirely blame their family either since curiosity goes a long way to a determined individual. Regardless, I do agree that there must be some sort of intervention done by the parents. Their primarily responsibility is the well-being of their children, that is why preventing the children from falling to this rabbit hole is a big task that must be shouldered by the parents.

I think many people have been associating the 'fall of bitcoin' to its price on the market. Though I do understand that it is the main indicator, many still have been taking for granted its actual use- removing third-party intermediaries.

The blockchain technology will be the key in the future of transactions. As long as BTC remains relevant in the years to come (which I truly believe so), then we can expect a shift to digital transactions in the far future.

Hmm I do agree with your point as there must be a line to draw on which projects to promote.

The problem with most YouTubers is that their influence is so huge that most of their subscribers are underaged children. In addition, if they try to promote a gambling website (which provides them revenue in return), children would be exposed to gambling which gives the latter the curiosity to try them. This is actually a dilemma on both sides in which I have no clue on how to balance them.

Actually, nasa discretion ng business if they were to accept any cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment.

As far as I know, there is one milk tea shop near Las Piñas that accepts this certain type of altcoin (I forgot which altcoin) as payment for their milk tea. In addition, tumatanggap din si dragonpay ng BTC then convertible to PHP na siya agad. The more businesses na mag accept as payment ng BTC, mas lalong mahihikayat din ang other businesses na tumupad nito.

Pero like what I have mentioned, since volatile ang price ng BTC, nasa discretion talaga ng business to kung gusto nila gawin itong alternative mode of payment.

I remember I watched this film called 'Free Solo' where Alex Honnold climbed El Capitan without any ropes or life-saving gear! When that filmed released, I think it had an impact on climbing challenges in general in attracting more audience to the sport.

I do see the potential of climbing challenges becoming as a source of gambling maybe in the future. Since its audience are very much niche, the sport becomes more and more popular over the years. Assuming that there is an available bet on climbing challenges, I will definitely participate on it.
