4441  Local / Pamilihan / Re: [GUIDE] Using Coins.ph for Dragonpay (Grab Credits) on: August 02, 2019, 04:24:15 AM
Hahahaha actually lately ko lang din ito nalaman sa kaibigan ko. Nagulat nga ako na pwede mo palang magamit yung bitcoin mo to pay various services. Yes sir, padami na talaga ng padami ang tumatanggap ngayon ng bitcoin as an alternative payment! I'm actually glad na nakatulong po ako sa inyo sir!
Buti pa yung kaibigan mo, alam niya yan hahaha. Joke lang. Anyways, yun nga nakakatuwa eh, dumadami ng dumadami. Nakakagamit ako ng coins.ph wallet sa payment on some stores in Shopee eh. Effective naman at nakukuha ko naman ang item, no more COD. Pero minsan kailangan mo din i-COD para ma check eh.

P.S. Nagamit ko na at na try ko na yung way na yan para mag bayad sa GrabPay Credits and nakapag load naman and successful. Instant din naman siya.

Nice, ngayon ko lang alam to, normally pag nagamit ako ng grab eh cash ang payment kasi di ko alam may option na pla na ganito. Aside na nakakatuwa na dumadai na ang nag accept ng bitcoin magiging hassle-free pa ang mga transactions kasi di muna need mag cashout papunta sa bank account, kahit coins.ph eh makakapagpay kana.

Very convenient talaga siya sir! Hanggang ngayon, kapag nakikita ko na may promo ang GRAB sa GRABCREDITS, kumukuha lang ako sa bitcoin ko around 300-500 pesos tapos nag-loload na ako.

BEWARE:
I tried loading GRABCREDITS pero hindi COINS.PH yung ginamit kong platform to load. Mismong sa dicing site ako nag send ng BTC sa wallet address na binigay ni GRAB pero wala akong natanggap na GRABCREDITS. Not sure kung ako lang may experience nito pero mas mabuti na mag-load using COINS.PH.

First and foremost, I would like to extend my gratitude for getting out of the cycle of gambling. You have made a leap forward towards a successful and peaceful life. Gambling, if not, is considered one of the most deceiving ways of earning money. It starts when you start winning your first bet and the addiction you get makes everything uncontrollable from that point.

Most gamblers that I know personally have fallen and succumb to addiction. Unfortunately, they still are trapped in the illusion of gambling but I always support them in the best way I could. You have made the right decision and with that, I hope you become an inspiration to people who are having difficulties from removing this dangerous addiction/habit.

hello gamblers
many players are complaining about the way they always get busted, they keep playing in the same way and they are doing nothing but making their loss bigger. the point here is not about greed or being greedy, its all about the right time to stop which is very hard since no one can predict the next move in gambling. many players make good profits but they keep playing instead of stoping, and it always leads to one result,,,bust. how ? once they make good profits and starts to lose they refuse to accept the defeat and keep playing to recover, and it ends up losing all they have, the case here is not about greed, but about accepting defead. once you accept the loss and say ( its enough losing ) you can take what left from your profit, do it over and over and you will make a good profit.
if you want to be successful in gambling accept the defeat first, and the game is all yours.
best of luck rolling

Hmm, I wholeheartedly dissent from your opinion as this may mislead people as this could render them to gamble more than their prescribed limitations. If you want to win big, then pray that luck is on your side the day that you gamble and NOT BECAUSE of betting big.
Sure, betting big may render you more results and chances to win but at the same time, it carries an underlying burden of HOPE.

Let us say you gamble BIG and it turned out that you lost all of your resources, then what would be the consequences now? This would eventually create an endless cycle wherein you gamble and gamble until you recover your losses.

To reiterate, DO NOT gamble big but gamble smartly with a definite plan and goal. Set a limitation on your winnings/losings to prevent from going overboard as everything may turn against you.
4444  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [DISCUSSION] What have you learned on BITCOINTALK FORUM? Share Your Experiences. on: July 30, 2019, 03:53:32 PM
I joined this forum two (2) years ago when my friend showed me na pwede ka palang kumita ng pera online. Since may stigma ang online jobs due to networking, akala ko parehas lang siya pero nag-iba yung perspective ko noong first-hand ko siyang na-experience.

Throughout my stay dito sa bitcointalk.org, ito yung mga natutunan ko so far:

  • Cryptocurrencies (in general) and their nature;
  • Working online through maximizing campaign signatures;
  • Blockchain and its application in the marketing sector; and
  • Effects of cryptocurrencies in the international economy

Although in my stay of 2 years in this forum, it is relatively small compared to most people have learned in their journey in this forum. Regardless, I would say that what is important is we share our stories, provide our opinions, guide each member, and support fellow kabayans who are relatively new in the forum so they could do the same to the next generation.

Also, there are always room for improvements and learnings. I still find the technical boards and mining discussion confusing since I do not own, possess, or first-handedly experienced such.

Let us continue to grow (especially our local board) and support one another, especially na tayo talaga ang mag-tutulungan sa dulo!

Hmm, investing into something that is unpredictable unlike most investment methods present?

I find your decision questionable as investing EVERYTHING into a stable market would yield a double-edged sword, especially that we are talking about BITCOIN (which has a high-volatility rate). If I were in your shoes, I would have diversified my investments and considered stocks for a relatively stable long-term plan/solution.

Although we may have different views, ideas, and predictions about the state of bitcoin, I wish you good luck on your decision as everyone hopes for a significant increase on its price in the near future.
4446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you buy lottery online in bitcoin payment? on: July 30, 2019, 09:46:05 AM
<snip...>

The reason on why I purchase bitcoins is for investment opportunities provided by its high-volatility in the market. If I were to buy anything that could be purchased using real cash, I would have done so instead of using my bitcoins.
Like in your example, purchasing lotto tickets can be bought using cash inside stores or malls. It would be a waste to use bitcoins to purchase these tickets despite having the convenience to do so.

There is no risk if you won the lottery. There should be no issue in claiming the lottery. The real issue is that if you do not win the lottery all your invested funds will be lost. That's the only reason i do not invest in lottery as it is too risky.
It is wrong to say that you "invest" in gambling because you dont. You gamble your money in trying to make more money and the method is lottery ticket buying. Investment is something of a broader term here and although this is debatable, I consider gambling to be a mode of entertainment and not a mode of making money. The only person making money is the bookmaker.

Whether you decide to buy lottery tickets is your choice. I see people of lower economic strata, not having much of a savings to do, waste their money gambling and buying lottery tickets. Its because they are trying their luck because they have nothing else to depend on.

People who have the perspective of gambling their money to recover their financial conflict is in a pitfall. That would only worsen their financial situation especially when they consider it as their last ray of hope. Although there may be ample of opportunities outside gambling, if a person's mind has been blurred by this fact, then this would cascade into bigger problems.
4447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: July 26, 2019, 04:16:09 PM
And when did Mayweather  became a monster?

He is a monster in running around not engaging toe to toe with Manny, he just want to win in scoring and has no plans of entertaining the fans.
Thurman is a real monster than him, he was not afraid to face a bigger monsters.

Honestly, half of me wants a rematch but the other half says no way since I know what to expect already.

True.

Thurman never went to a dirty boxing mode unlike Mayweather.
If there will be a fight against Manny and Mayweather again then it will really be all about the money.
People will think that they are milking them and might get their supports down.
Although they are near retirement it will still be a loss if they are doing business in different countries.
They might have a lot of money but it will still run out, if not managed correctly.

I will never pay for pay per view for that match but I might bet with Mayweather. It will be the Boxing administration who controls it and they will never stain that record of Mayweather anymore or any lifetime.

Well to be honest, Mayweather played by the points and the rules but Pacquiao played to his heart and goal. Mayweather knew that if punches and runs, he would be able to score more points than Pacquiao but that would lead to a totally boring match.

No matter what we say regarding the fight of Mayweather or Pacquiao or no matter how negative things may be, we will always look forward to that match and support our respective idols. In my case, I'm all in for Manny Pacquiao because he is the people's champ, and OUR champ!

4448  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin, or diversified investment? on: July 24, 2019, 07:39:50 PM
It is always best to diversify our investment.  Pero hindi lang dapat basta basta magdivesify, dapat alam natin ang investment na pinapasukan natin.  Alam naman natin na si Bitcoin ay lubhang napataas ng volatility, kaya mas mainam pa rin na may supporting investment tayo labas kay Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.  Kung alam natin ang mga nasabi ni OP, bakit hindi maginvest sa lahat, pero kung hindi natin alam yung mga sinabi, marami pa naman dyang uri ng investment na pwedeng pasukan basta wag lang tayo maaakit sa mga scam investment scheme.

Going to reiterate what he said, preferably, diversifying your investments would be the ideal move as this lowers the risk while increases the chances of you yielding income in the future. But all of these depend on a number of factors especially your capital, knowledge, and experience on investment as a whole.

If may extra capital ka for short-term income, it would be preferred to invest and purchase cryptocurrencies to take advantage of their high volatility and yield short-term income. On the other hand, if you vision your investments for long-term, it would be best to purchase and acquire stocks of companies depending on their status.

Either way, makakapag-yield ka dito ng income IF may patience, tiyaga, and determination ka to earn. All of these depend on your goal as an investor.
4449  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Mga dahilan ng mga deleted posts sa forum on: July 23, 2019, 09:02:51 AM
Nagiging problema ang mga 'deleted posts' sa mga members ng forum KUNG ang tingin nila dito ay ang TANGING paraan upang makakuha ng pera. Oo, makakuha ka dito ng mga bitcoins or altcoins pero dapat ang mindset natin is tulungan ang bawat members at mag supplement ng mga information para mas lalong maging informative itong forum.

Ang mga bitcoins na nakukuha natin sa mga signature campaign ay produkto na lang ng pag-tulong natin. Kaya ang dahilan kung bakit nagkakaroon ng mga madaming deleted posts ay kung nag popost ka upang ma-satisfy ang campaign conditions of doing 20 per posts without even being relevant sa topic.

4450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man won 12 times in lottery on: July 22, 2019, 12:21:03 PM
This is actually interesting. Something that everyone thought to be mathematically impossible was cracked down by one man and proceeded to win the lottery 14 times! This goes to show that with that kind of intelligence and dedication, one can exploit the wonders of almost everything that can be computed!

Interesting that the formula and the algorithm are hidden in public. I guess the government somehow controlled the data and secured it to prevent abuse from people doing it.

Are we talking about the probability here? Its already computed and there are so many set of numbers before you win even if you are genius in math. Well, you still need the luck and if that man really won 12 times then he should win more because he already know how to play it. I don't want to be stressed because of solving the numbers, its really hard and not easy.

Maybe he or his team developed some kind of algorithm that would limit their number choices. Nevertheless, the number of tickets required to fullfill such need lots of investors! But come on man, winning the lottery 14 times goes to show his unparalleled genius and skill compared to anyone.
4451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You don't loose if you don't encash on: July 21, 2019, 04:07:39 PM
Hey  Smiley
 
I once came across a time when I was unsure where the market is going to take us , thus I brought at a very high price , unfortunately the price came down as quickly as it climbed up.

The reason I believe I haven't lost even a single penny is because I believe you cannot loose when you don't encash.

Therefore I still believe holding for the long term can actually help you .


Taking your quote against you, you don't also earn without withdrawing your bitcoins!

It is essential that you set a limitation, cap, and a goal on your investments to know when to cash them out. Long-term investment and holding may yield you income but you may miss opportunities arising from sudden spikes and increase on its price due to its high volatility. You may want also to consider short-term investment as it may render you income relatively better than a long-term HODL.
4452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Gambler's Fallacy (The key to unbiased gambling) on: July 19, 2019, 11:55:42 PM

We're definitely not bad at gambling.
He might not able to see it yet he do generalize in all sorts of things when it comes to gambling.Even on the simplest decision

in life do correspond some sort of gamble which we would really need up to make such selection into things.

False, humans are awful at gambling: it’s a scientific fact whether you like it or not. It’s the reason casinos do so well and why the casino business is a billion dollar industry. Here is one of many huge articles containing numerous studies highlighting the psychology behind gambling.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3858640/

This is a good read and a nice article which composed of explaining the psychology behind gambling. But what makes gambling contagious and dangerous at the same time is the addiction and satisfaction that we garner especially when we experience a winning streak in the game. This creates an biased impression that gambling may be favorable to you, resulting to a continuous betting of your money. From this experience, you would deem to think that every bet that you make will garner you returns of cash.

That is where the problem exists. When you have that kind of mindset, it would slowly cloud your judgement and decision making skills which would aggravate your situation into losing your cash. After that, it would cascade thinking that the only way to overcome your losses is to gamble again. From this alone, this creates an endless cycle wherein you gamble and gamble until every cash is drained.
4453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play poker to train trading on: July 19, 2019, 11:43:58 PM
<snip...>


While I do respect your opinion, I still view poker as something that is more randomized compared to trading due to a number of reasons.

First, poker is a game wherein cards are randomized by a deck of cards with someone dealing the cards. Depending on the cards shown on the table, you make your bet pairing your hand. If you think that the pool is weak, you can discard your hand and wait for the next deal. On the other hand, you may also play the bluffing game by letting the opponents think that you have the strongest set of combinations of cards paired with the existing pool.

But what separates poker from trading is the manner of risking such. Although both have risks that are difficult to manage, in trading you rely on historical data, market situation, external and internal news in the country, etc. as it is multifactorial. Someone who is not knowledgeable in gambling can win loads of cash purely by luck. In trading, I doubt that happens since even experienced traders get bankrupted at the end of the cycle.
4454  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't fall for this Trump's statement about Bitcoin. This is bullish! on: July 19, 2019, 08:56:46 PM
Don't fall for this Trump's statement about Bitcoin. This is actually bullish! “Giving attention” to crypto period, tells me it’s game on. Never trade cryptocurrency based on the news and statements like that. Do you remember the statements from the JP Morgan? If you learned something from that, you should seek for every opportunity and buy any dip that comes (if it comes). That's how the big players do their thing. You want to buy cheap coins? Make a negative statement about it and buy cheaper. If you panic sell, they will get your bitcoins before it goes further to the upside. You will be shaked out and kicked out of this train. Don't fall for it. This is bullish in my opinion. Bitcoin clearly got some attention from mr. Trump (or his team) clearly, it's so important that he tweets about it. If it wasn't important he wouldn't bother to write anything about bitcoin. He also didn't say that he is against bitcoin. He just said he is not a fan of btc. A big difference. He likes to change his mind very often on his twitter! Trump has many followers and he mentioned bitcoin to them. Any advertising is a good advertising! So again, don't fall for it. I think you should do the opposite of what the small traders would do in this case. Buy the dip!

Regardless of what he says, I do not actually listen to him. Neither do I care about his lates rants and updates especially with regards to cryptocurrency since this is a field that is beyond the scope of their understanding and knowledge. Although he may be a successful entreprenuer and investor, I doubt that he has the means of understanding cryptocurrency given that he has a country to serve and work for.

His tweets might be viewed as a negative consequence that will further increase the stigma on bitcoin on most people who are not knowledgeable about the subject. This may render negative implications as it will discourage potential investors who are willing to invest their money in cryptocurrencies.
4455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will there be physical casinos operating with cryptos in the future? on: July 19, 2019, 01:40:06 PM
My thoughts here, I wonder if in the future, physical casinos will use cryptos

I know casinos use coins to spend inside and them people can exchange these coins to fiat money again

But maybe a casino can use cryptos inside, you buy a card with BTC or LTC for example, and you can play with this card


Have you ever think about his? What is you opinion guys?

In my opinion, it will defeat the purpose of online gambling- which is to provide convenience and anonymity among users in the gambling scene. The reason on why most people gamble online nowadays is for their safety. To be able to use cryptocurrencies as the medium for gambling makes it more convenient to people who possess such currency and resource.

I also believe that people are still open to the idea of going to casinos and exchange their resources for BTC as this may also be an avenue or like a community for people to discuss matters relating to bitcoin, and not to gambling perse.

ako wala ako nailabas na pera sa pag bibitcoin ko. kasi lahat nang puhunan ko sa bitcoin dito ko nkukuha sa furom na to sa pag sali sa mga bounty.. kaya maganda talaga ang furom na ito may natotonan kana kumikita kapa...
Yes tama, sana lang talaga bumalik na ang sigla ng mga bounty at signature campaign para marame pa tayong maipon na bitcoin. Medyo alangan pa ako pumasok dito dati kase akala ko scam, pero dahil pingatyagaan ako ng friend ko na turuan, ayun naintindihan ko naman ang lahat.

Sa simula lang naman talaga na maiisip ng mga tao na scam ang pag-invest or pag-bili ng bitcoin pero once na nakaexperience sila ng short/long-term income dito, doon mag-babago yung kanilang perspectibo.
Nag labas na ako ng pera noong first 3-5 months ko pa lang sa bitcoin. Unfortunately, nawalan ako haslo P6,000 worth of BTCs nung bumili ako ng packages sa USI-Tech dahil naging ponzi scam ito. Although nawalan ako ng pera, hindi pa rin nag bago ang pag tingin ko sa bitcoin bilang isang opportunity sa pag-iipon ng investment.

Since patuloy na bumababa ang presyo nito, expect natin na baka mag surface muli ang mga bounty or signature campaigns since mura na lang ang transaction fees nito.
4457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: July 16, 2019, 05:20:44 PM
The long awaited fight and everyone is hyped about the upcoming match between Pacquiao and Thurman! In my opinion, Pacquiao would definitely win the fight especially that his conditioning and preparation are unparalleled compared to any other boxer that I have ever seen. With his age comes speed, strength, patience, and experience in the ring which would contribute to his winning.

Although I do respect Thurman and his boxing skills, underestimating a world-class and legendary boxer in the ring would be his pitfall in the match. Almost every boxer who fought against Pacquiao were overwhelmed with his agility, power, and speed in the ring.
4458  Economy / Economics / Re: Does China Control Bitcoin? on: July 15, 2019, 03:23:30 PM
<snip...>

No one takes control over the resource, supply, and demand of bitcoin as its nature is purely decentralized which makes it value highly volatile compared to other investment methods available currently. Assuming that bitcoin is regulated or controlled by a third-party or by the government, it will slowly lose its value in the market. These are the reasons on why bitcoin is highly regarded as a 'double-edged sword' investment that could either make or break your profits depending on its value.

based on what I read in the news that most miners in the world come from China because their area has many cold highlands and cheap electricity costs, indirectly China actually helps Bitcoin price movements but does not control Bitcoin.  I feel that actually now the Chinese government is very stupid, if they want to recognize Bitcoin I think they will have the opportunity to control Bitcoin.

China has created a significant impact on bitcoin's price since the country compromises most of the population of miners in the cryptocurrency field but they have no full control over the regulation of its price.
4459  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The time of seriousness is disappearing on: July 15, 2019, 06:35:34 AM
In all honesty, this outcome is to be expected. With the recent significant increase on bitcoin's price, it resisted fairly slow and succumb to a drastic decrease. Rather than feeling down, take this time as an opportunity to purchase while prices are on the red. This kind of situation is relatively common and most of us already experienced this kind of situation.

To all fairly new investors in the world of cryptocurrency, let this outcome not sway your decision-making skills and your interest in bitcoin. While there may be times where we experience gold, expect times of dark to come.
4460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What causes a person to become intensely addicted to gambling? on: July 13, 2019, 02:39:03 AM
actually simple, when you win a gamble, someone wants to come back again for a victory that is bigger than yesterday. if you lose, someone will come back again to take revenge for yesterday's defeat. both sides make people always think of going back to the gambling table, because of their own desires.
In short. Revenge gambling + Greediness.

If you win this day, you feel that you are lucky and then you will come back to the casino to gamble (greed). Now if the table turns down to you and you lose today, you will feel that you need to get your money back and will gamble again until you lose your money again (revenge). This is the reason why gamblers are getting addicted into gambling.

Gambling creates this endless cycle wherein an individual gets stuck on a continuous loop of winning and losing, getting lost in the illusion that he/she can overcome his/her losses by betting again. Due to this conflict, one may think that he is actually earning cash but in reality, his losses are overwhelmingly more than his winnings. In order to overcome this adversity, it is highly advisable that you set-up a limit in terms of your betting to avoid betting more than you planned for.
