I'm really loving this feature of bitcoin. Look, I can buy prepaid load without even going on the nearest [ir]sari-sari[/i] store (sort of a mini grocery store). Through btc, I can minimize the time of going outside thus minimizing the chances of getting the virus as well. But aside from that, It also provides me a significant convenience because I no longer need to wear mask, disinfect etc. because I can already get what you want one click away .
Indeed, bitcoin keeps me alive. With bitcoin plus the money I got from lecturing math lessons, I was able to sustain my daily needs this pandemic. Imagine, even me who already finished my college and got a degree wasn't able to get a job in this trying times then what more for people who can only do hard labor. That's why I'm very blessed to have btc. I can say that I will continue investing as long as I live because it's already close to my heart. I already experienced so many lifesaving moments with it before which I can't forget .

Guys no offense but aren't you reading? There are already few replies regarding this issue. Let me repeat, there is no fake actual bitcoin; you know, like a fake dollar which got the same looks, same texture and everything. However, we have bitcoin forks which we can consider fake since they are clones. They are actually different coins but somehow steals bitcoin's branding .

Oh my god! That's a huge lose already. What sign are you asking for? How ironic for you to believe that the project itself continue to improve but you're losing hard in your part. Dude if I were you, I will find my exit as soon as possible. I'm not saying right now, you can wait further until the price go up in order to diminish your loss but if your gut feel says the price might fall harder then wait no more. Dump and invest to a more reputable alts like eth or just stick with btc. It is safer to to do so.

I hope you will learn important lesson from this, god bless . Well, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" so be wiser next time.

See? You didn't even find the value. It only means that such posts are trash. They are just a product of desperation and laziness. Actually, going back to your declined application and deleting it after 24 hrs. is not a time consuming task. It's just so happened that some guilty members simply ignore it because it increases their post anyways.


Is this even possible? I can't believe it because it is not supposed to be tolerated! Well, the participants are very lucky if that's the case lol . Though we can't say that he is totally lazy like the participants but irresponsible for sure since he is not fulfilling his duty very well. I just hope their campaign still runs very well despite of the  wrongdoings.
Yes you can but I bet you now have a lesser chance of getting accepted by doing so. I used to make "reservations" before but I stop because i realized that it annoys the CM. Be a fast typer instead.

Indeed, it is the best and most popular stablecoin that can be paired with btc or the rest of the alts and I don't think we need another brand for that.  Because what would be the purpose, for me they are all the same since their main feature is fiat backed.

But then again, I would agree to everyone. It is the best stablecoin at this moment not the best coin for investment or let's say not actually used for investing. I think OP misunderstood the nature of it .

Actually, I'm expecting the same thing because it's pretty obvious that the pandemic really squeeze every country's assets and slowly decay the economies of all countries but why it seems our currency is not affected at all, it becomes stronger instead. The exchange rate of usd to peso this day is $1 = P48.90 compared to P51.85 last February (before the virus spread arise). Hmm .
Nah, I will be convinced if and only if btc remain soaring or at least stabilize after this pandemic. What I'm thinking is that the pandemic served as a huge opportunity to give the rest of investors ample time to trade which resulted in high volume and higher price (IMO only). For me, you're money will never be safe with crypto because its trend today looks nice but tomorrow might be a disaster. No one knows, so extreme caution while investing is still advised .

@OP ~ Honestly, I get a little bit confused due to sudden shifting of topics. I found no relevance between face masks and scams lol. Nevertheless, I understand it and it's fine.

Anyway...
Why choosing only one if you can do both in the first place? The right thing to do is give wearing face mask and getting vitamin D equal priority since both of them significantly help you to stay alive. Go outside while wearing face mask and get the daily dose of vitamin D you need. As simple as that. Again, don't you ever forget to wear your mask because that is our first defense against the virus, vitamin D alone won't defeat it .

I presume you are not well rounded with the options you've mentioned that's why you're asking. So for me, much better to feed your mind first. Study what are the pros and cons of investing on all of it then simply assess. Because at the end of the day, the final verdict is still in your hands, isn't it? I'm pretty sure you won't just pick one advice here and simply follow it .

But going back to the topic, I won't choose in any given options because I find it hard to deal with and besides I'm only interested with btc at the moment . See? Every member here got their own reasons and you can't guarantee if it also suits in your situation or not. Don't get me wrong, there's really nothing wrong of asking for advice. But I hope you still do your homework, okay?

To be honest, I like this feature. But the question is, will it be enough to convince the investors to buy IDENA? I don't want to become pessimistic but I really don't think so. Remember that most of us are not really not into the application but with the price since many projects are already existing thus considered no longer unique from everyone. But well, no one knows exactly up to this moment what future it will be. So keep on shilling, I mean supporting this coin. Good luck .

Btc Times, sounds like New York Times. Good choice of name in all fairness because I'm sure that it can somehow get the charisma of such big news company  

Like what other's said, I also like the design. Black and white colors are very classic and calm for our eyes, it never gets old. Plus, what i like in this new site is that it is also mobile friendly. Everything looks well organized and I don't actually having problems with zooming in zooming out the articles. Though Coindesk and other sites are better at the moment, I still look forward on this one. The more sources available, the better (given they are all stating nothing but facts of course).

Well, sad but true. What I think happening is that they are misdirected from their goal. Instead of using this forum as a source of knowledge to have a wonderful start of their crypto journey, they got easily blinded by the opportunity of earning made by campaigns and bounties. They're attracted too much with "fast money" that's why they tend to jump on joining despite of knowing nothing (only small to be at least).

Keep the right mindset dude, I hope you will be able to convince more newbies to do the right thing .
I agree on you somehow but I think there's nothing wrong of visiting with the other relevant threads either because that are the places where helpful knowledge lies within. When I was a newbie, my mentor told me that I should only stay on our local board. I followed him but for not a very long time, I explore the forum and I'm glad I did it. Jumping from one board to another doesn't necessarily mean that you're a spammer because everything still depends on your discipline. If you don't know what to say then refuse typing, just be a silent reader and use what you learned on the next discussion you deal with. As simple as that .

Or maybe he is looking for people made of oil (based on the title) jk.
Indeed. Actually there is a more appropriate place than this forum when it comes to kind of stuff. Hmm maybe OP is looking for some advice from those people who bought a franchise of gas station and ask if it's feasible for him to do the same thing? Just a wild guess . Nonetheless, I think it would be much better if he will directly contact the local oil marketing company or the dept. of energy on his country for his inquiries.

Hmm, it's very rare to see a new member not mentioning about sig campaigns. And more amazing to know that you admiited you're a lurker for quite a long time already yet no interested with it ( I can sense it though you wear signature lol)

Indeed, we should not relate the past bad scenarios to every new members entering this forum. That was not a sign of warm welcome at all . Actually, there's no wrong of expressing doubt towards one another but just make sure that you can support it with hard facts not only pure gut feelings. Overthinking is a bad habit hihihi.

So welcome to our forum OP. Good move that you finally made an account. I'm pretty sure you can contribute a lot here and learn a lot more at the same time.

Like the few members who replied, I'd rather buy a real gold than buying an alt backed with gold. Because having a real gold is nice but on the other hand we really can't sure if such projects are really backed with gold or not. Maybe that is only to make their coin a little bit distinct from the others thus attract more investors, who knows?. And even if some are proven and tested, I still won't buy their concept because those coins which are based on aplications are enough for me. Besides, I am not a fan of stablecoins, I love crypto's volatility even if it bites me back sometimes lol .

If you can afford to give him a hardware wallet with bitcoin (like Ledger) then much better. Because I believe that tangible things' presence makes the gift more special because it can build a sentimental value, that's what digital things can't do. Plus, it was a nice way to poke the interest of the receiver because he will surely become curious on how that flash drive-like thing works .

Then after that, follow what others said, give him a short introduction with crypto and hope that he will like the concept. Be his mentor afterwards! You not only made him happy because of your gift but also help to expand our community — win-win situation .

Hmm, you said that your tip is only 100 sats so most probably the case is your funds are less than the amount of minimum withdrawal or the transaction fee is higher than your current balance. That's why you can't withdraw it unlike to your previous experience.

Though I use reddit often, I'm still not sure about my conclusion since I am not so familiar how award system works there. I'm just a simple lurker .

Maybe you can use the physique of the horse, the popularity of the jockey or even the records of that horse as your basis. Well, it's very hard to predict the winner of such game because there are many competitors thus getting a smaller probability for a single player to win plus all of them almost looks the same so you can't recognize who's the strongest. Hmm, in this sport, I guess you might lose a lot of money first before establishing a good strategy on betting because experience is necessary. That's why I only stick on betting with 1v1/team sports that I knew since I find them easier to predict .
For me, both. You should understand the principles of gambling, the pros and cons if you bet huge and small, and everything about it as a whole. At the same time, you should know also the place where you risk your money in order to increase your chances of winning. Of course not everything is based on luck, you can outwit the system .

Of course! Because first impression lasts. What do you think would probably happen if you experienced drowning for the first time? You will get afraid of water, right? The same will happen if you get scammed. Though technically speaking it's not bitcoin's fault, you still tend to get afraid of investing due to a bad experience. The trauma of losing money will remains that's why they now refuse to try again unless he/she is business minded which understands — that not at all times he/she is winning.

Nevertheless, I hope each and every person who got scammed (not only from crypto but in general) will finally overcome their fear. I hope they soon realized that cryptocurrency is not the real evil here but only a tool most often used by bad people.

Indeed, proper education of this technology is the key for them to believe in it. That it is not intentionally made to harm us .

Well, it is what Made in China is. But you know what, even most of us are already aware of their low quality products, many people still choose it with eyes closed. Why? Simply because of cheap price. That's what I usually noticed particularly on my fellow men, they give more priority on the money they can save the moment they avail the product and not the money they can save in the long run. What a wrong mindset. Just like the saying, quality over quantity.

Don't be so bitter, maybe you're just unfortunate when it comes to love. Just wait and chill, I'm sure you'll meet your Forever soon. Do not choose a Chinese to be sure jk .

Ps: No racism intended

No dude, I think you misunderstood what I said. I am not persuading OP to use Yobit just because they ran a sig campaign here before. Actually, I open up that particular issue for him to have a glimpse of its background and treat it as a risk . Furthermore, I didn't forget to tell him to do his own research first. Don't get me wrong, I somehow agree that Yobit is not the best choice out there so I only tell him that he can put it on his consideration, to see it for himself.
