If Bitcoin is really a new miner's target you don't have to buy special equipment to mine BTC, there is another way around all this, buy a graphic card, from 400$ to 1500$ you can get yourself a good Graphic card or more if you can but my point here is you dont have to spend thousands of dollars on BTC miners aka Asic miners, get GPU and use Nicehash pool, get paid in BTC every 4 hours.

Done are the days where you can profitably mine bitcoin using a graphics card. Today, you're just going to lose a crap ton of money (unless you have free electricity or something). Either you go with ASICS, or go mine something else and just exchange the mined coins into BTC.

Lol this is something I've been annoyed at a lot of times now when talking about Satoshi.

Sometimes I mention he/she/they (can be such a hassle when mentioning it multiple times) when talking to newbies to give more emphasis on Satoshi's anonymity, but really — in general I just mostly use "he" simply because Satoshi is a masculine name. Because most of us here know that we don't know who he/she/they is/are (here we go again) anyway.

For a 1.5% commission, I'd rather do things myself regardless if it can be a hassle. 1.5% might look small especially in a per-buy-transaction basis, but that's something you're going to notice affecting your stack some time in the far future.
3684  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mentor experience in crypto trading. on: May 27, 2022, 01:15:55 PM
I love Satoshi because he was a great mentor i have never see in the whole world, for building a great family like this, that will produce future president's of different countries and senators that will make this decentralized currency fully legalized in the whole world.

By definition, a mentor is mostly someone who can give you advice and is someone you can personally consult. By your definition — especially knowing that you're talking about Satoshi himself (whom you most probably never talked to), you're describing more of an inspiration or role model, than a "mentor".

This might be good news, because a big portion of those stablecoins might get converted back to BTC, when the bloodbath is over and the market goes into another bull run.
If this was in 2016-2018 I'd agree, but we already have USDC and USDT. The only reason they'd convert to BTC is if they think that it would go up, in which they'd already be holding BTC if they actually think that.

I hear rumors that Tether might cause next big cryptocurrency price crash, but this might be just some FUDsters trying to spread panic.
People have been saying this since like 2017 if I remember correctly.

Isa pang kinagulat ko yung 74% daw ng mga Pinoy ay aware daw sa crypto ownsership. Kung pagbabasehan natin ang voting population ng Pinass, that translate to around 48 Million (74% * 65M). Ang taas nyan lalo na kung idagdag pa yung 16 to 17 years old na kasama sa survey.

Parang alanganin nga talaga sa tingin ko. Unless na ang ibig sabihin nila dun is ung 74% na yan ay alam lang nila ung word na "crypto" dahil narinig nila kung saan man, pero hindi necessarily ibig sabihin na alam nila kung ano talaga ibig sabihin nun.

Kahit nga karamihan ng Axie scholars mismo hindi nga nila alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng crypto. Angdami dami sa social media na nahack ung wallets nila, tapos sinisisi nila ung team ng Axie kasi hindi nila kayang i-recover ung funds LOL.
3687  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does all the money from luna have to go somewhere? on: May 27, 2022, 11:00:58 AM
But you can see that the current sales volume is decreasing again, even there are only around 338 million left and this is a sign that UST has a very big impact due to the problems that Luna is experiencing.
I mean, it obvious decreased because a lot of people have sold already.

I hope everything gets better soon
Lol this isn't getting any better. They're trying to revive the chain with a hard fork (turning the old chain into Terra Classic), but the damage has been done. Do Kwon and the Terra project has already lost it's reputation. It's just going to temporarily be a traders haven for now — with them taking advantage of the ignorant few that's still going to buy in to their promises.

Maganda na open si PBBM sa technology. Ibig sabihin wala tayong aasahan na mga ban na mangyayari. Aasahan din natin mga mas malinaw na regulation sa crypto at kasama na dyan ang taxation.

Though sana nga, sobrang labo pa ng statements niya sa short clip na halos wala tayong pwedeng mabuong conclusion. Kumbaga in summary parang ang sinabi lang ni BBM sa video ay "interesting ang crypto, pero titignan natin in the future kung pano natin ireregulate kasi nasa early stages palang tayo".

Just a heads up — totally appreciate the enthusiasm and it's good that you're going to teach finance, but you should probably heavily focus on finance and investing first, before going for cryptocurrencies. Really, crypto can wait — as it's not like they have thousands and thousands to put into the markets already anyway.
3690  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Report: PH ranks 2nd in ‘ownership of cryptocurrency’ on: May 27, 2022, 06:00:16 AM
Pero bakit marami parin sa ating ang hirap magpayaman o sabihin gamitin sa tama gamit ang crypto currency na hawak ng isang Pilipino?

Dahil marami sa ating kababayan ang mahilig sa get-rich-quick schemes at "easy money". Un rin ung rason kung bakit sobrang hit na hit saatin dito ung e-sabong at pagsugal in general; pati na rin ung dami ng taong napapaloko sa mga pyramid schemes.

After all either market crashes or it goes up and all of us has to do is one god dam thing, you just hodl your crypto tight, either move them to stable coin economy to stop the losses.

I'd go with a different advice and tell people to actually think twice or thrice about the 'crypto' they actually bought — if they actually do something decent, or if it's just your typical useless yet overpriced cryptocurrency. They need to sober up sooner or later, unless they want the markets itself to sober them up by teaching them a hard lesson.
3692  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Report: PH ranks 2nd in ‘ownership of cryptocurrency’ on: May 27, 2022, 03:44:44 AM
Fun fact: isa ang Pilipinas sa pinaka maraming users ng MetaMask dahil sa Axie Infinity.

So mostly, ang karamihan e hindi talaga nila alam kung ano ang "crypto" dahil ang alam lang nila mostly is SLP, AXS, at Axies (baka nga hindi nila alam na NFTs ang Axies).

Hiding your IP helps a bit, but it's just the tip of the iceberg when talking about security. Still, the most important part of a person's opsec is his/her brain (despite how corny and cliche it sounds). I really don't remember the last time I got hacked/scammed.
3694  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What is the best setup to start a crypto investment service on: May 26, 2022, 04:28:45 PM
It can technically work, but what's the point of using your service if your users can use other existing full-fledged platforms such as Binance? Building such a platform will be so easier than building an exchange from scratch, but doing it that way is going to limit you platform so so much due to lack of features.
3695  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tending to cryptocurrency. on: May 26, 2022, 04:10:55 PM
Depends entirely what you can offering. If you can do your job, but accept Bitcoin, i.e development work. You could very well be in a better situation to escape inflation. So, while your advice is good, since it probably does apply to most people that are working for other people, if you can work for yourself using your skills, and transfer them to Bitcoin, I'd say you have a better chance of escaping the rat race, due to that inflation.

So, while it still might not make you rich, you're right. You could be in a better position than you were using fiat. Obviously, its not a guarantee as with anything in life.

Yea precisely — bitcoin(or any good asset investments in general) should give you a decent boost with your wealth assuming you picked good assets; but they're not what's necessarily going to make you rich. I always make this clear as a lot of people are just betting that bitcoin/crypto is their only way out of poverty/hardships.
3696  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are you a trader or a hodler? on: May 26, 2022, 03:19:00 PM
3. When the token is adopted by institutions and companies globally e.g Ethereum.

Compared to bitcoin, ethereum is far more adopted by retail than institutions. Presumably due to bitcoin having a stable and predictable supply issuance, compared to ethereum's which is mostly dependent on usage. Being heavily adopted by retail being better vs being adopted by institutions is totally objective, but keep your facts straight.
3697  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tending to cryptocurrency. on: May 26, 2022, 03:02:02 PM
Sorry to burst your bubble and not to discourage you — but chances are, crypto isn't going to make you rich. Unless your goal is to be a good trader, investing in general is mostly not what's going to break you out of poverty(or financial problems in general); having a good job or having a business with good cashflow will.
3698  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Crypto taxation in the Philippines coming soon? on: May 25, 2022, 05:08:36 PM
As far as I know by default may tax naman talaga, since almost kahit ano naman atang 'income' is under income tax. Ang tanong lang is kung magbibigay sila ng separate tax rates for cryptocurrencies.

As for rug pulls and bad investments — pag sa ibang bansa, as far as I know under tax loss ung rug pulls at ung bad investments/trades in general, so may parang bawas. Kaya may mga mautak talaga sa finances na nagcclose sila ng bad trades para sa tinatawag na "tax loss harvesting". Not sure dito sa Pinas though.

Why do these threads from the OP come up so regularly? Because of such topics, he raises his rank.

https://i.ibb.co/TmLh0Zx/Screenshot.png

But OP, I'll say it again. You literally wrote the same thing on your other topic 5 days ago. Just read the name of the forum, or should the forum be renamed to "rules of conduct"?

I'm just disappointed. Angry

It's the typical create-as-much-advice-threads-as-you-possibly-can strategy in the hopes of someone giving you merits. Being unnecessarily rude is definitely not the way to go, but a lot of times it's pretty difficult not to be.

Next topic title: "Reach for the moon. If you miss, at least you'll be among the stars."

Criticism is almost inevitable in whatever you do, inside and outside Bitcointalk. If you're going to give up just because you're being criticized(regardless if you deserve it or not), then you ain't getting anywhere. If you're going to surround yourself solely with people that are just going to agree with you or what you're doing, you're going to fail catastrophically.
