4501  Economy / Economics / Re: Ubisoft Becomes First Major Gaming Company to Launch In-Game NFTs on: December 09, 2021, 04:43:28 PM
There should be a fine line between gaming for fun and gaming for revenue in the future. I'm pretty sure gaming companies would embed NFTs on games whenever they can, and Ubisoft clearly starts the trend by doing some test games and slowly introducing it on one of their known games. Apparently, huge companies are racing to create the first framework for the so-called 'metaverse', hence the focus on NFTs and other such things are greatly increasing day by day.

Personally rooting for Ocon on the latter part of the season, but you can't really deny that the performances of Verstappen and Hamilton is simply beautiful now that we're nearing the end of this season. Hamilton is poised to win, but Max wouldn't really let it slide. We can see the aggressiveness of Verstappen on the last few races, and he's not giving Hamilton an opening no matter how small that gap is.

Hamilton for the win if we're realistic.
4503  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How many people are using bitcoin wallets? on: December 08, 2021, 06:52:58 PM
1 address isn't equivalent to 1 wallet, so it's a very tough question to answer honestly and I don't think anyone can give you an accurate guess as to how many are there. One person can use many wallets, and many people can share the same wallet (exchanges), so getting that figure is almost impossible, and there are tons of different factors to weigh in before you arrive with 1 wallet.

You can, however, check how many addresses have something in them, and how many address had some balance before they were emptied.
4504  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Possible Compromised Laptop With Seed in Password Manager? on: December 08, 2021, 11:57:29 AM
I would treat my passwords as compromised if I were you, and would go on and change those passwords immediately, and perhaps transfer the funds from those affected wallets with the exposed seeds, too. After that, I'd clean my PC, and ensure that I will place protections (ad blockers and the likes) in order to prevent this from happening again. Also, better treat your seed phrases with extra care. I have mine written down on some paper and it has been that way ever since. Not worried of getting hacked since my backups exist offline, and my seed phrases exist offline as well.
4505  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: The Rise of Metaverse / Play-To-Earn Tokens on: December 04, 2021, 03:54:14 PM
Play-to-earn tokens are nice gateways to cryptocurrencies, pero ang panget lang dito ay nagiging super dependent ang mga Pinoy sa naturang industry kaya karamihan e nagsisialis sa trabaho with high hopes na ito na yung magsasalba sa kanila sa kahirapan, without thinking na crypto pa rin ito at subject sa wild price changes and whatnot. Dahil sa dami ng mga natatalo sa crypto, nagiging masama tuloy ang imahe ng cryptocurrencies over time, lalo pag hindi nasusunod ng P2E tokens yung expectations ng mga nag-invest dito, kagaya na lamang ngayon ng nasa Axie Infinity.

Totoo na andito ang magandang opportunity pero hindi naman palagi e green sa crypto. Sa pagkasilaw ng mga tao sa gains ng iba, nakakalimutan nila na sugal pa rin ito in the end. Pero at the least, natututo na mag-invest ang karamihan sa mga kababayan natin, na maganda naman talagang sign since nakakakita tayo ng changes sa mindset ng mga tao na hindi lang nakaasa sa 8-5 jobs nila.
4506  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is getting more bearish, what is the trigger? on: December 04, 2021, 02:57:07 PM
In this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5375333.msg58608133;boardseen#new

people mention a supposed ban on personal wallets but I can't find any recent news about it.

The news broke in July:

A blow to Bitcoin? Europe plans to ban anonymous crypto wallets.

So, I don't know what the **** is going on.

I don't think that this is the trigger. No recent developments on this particular news, and if it is indeed the cause of the downtrend, it would have had affected bitcoin as early as when the news circulated. It wouldn't make sense for a news to affect the market months after it was announced, most especially if there were no active updates on the said event/news that was broadcasted
4507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any Proven Method To Identify SCAM 🤬 Projects At ICO Stage Or Even Before⁉️ on: December 04, 2021, 02:05:29 PM
Well, it seems that they got the better out of your judgment. One thing I've learned in dealing with new projects is to see how are they planning to attract people to support them. If they are planning a massive airdrop, with no regard for tokenomics and coin supply, it might hint that they are just there to create hype and dump on the buyers. Second, if the ones behind the project are unidentifiable, and the project itself isn't associated with any organization with an already established crypto reputation, tread with caution and wait until these things are clarified.

Oh and better check the whitepaper. Most of the time, they are just bits and pieces of previous projects rolled into one. And if what they state there doesn't make sense, then it's best to stay away from it.
4508  Economy / Economics / Re: No where is actually safe on: December 04, 2021, 01:42:51 PM
It's true, and the only thing you need to remember is when to get out of the trade. That's how you ensure that you're not losing something out of your investment, or even to minimize your losses when the time comes. Learning how to read the situation is your best bet if you want to survive the gruelling reality of taking risks and investments even on unfamiliar markets.

Remember, those who lose money in trading are those who don't have self-control and believes too much in their abilities.
4509  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Would you like to trading with meme coins?? on: December 04, 2021, 12:51:05 PM
If the volume and liquidity is good, I would certainly try my luck at it. But regularly, it would be bad for my profits as meme coins are notoriously known to be hype coins that doesn't have the ability to retain value over time. So while the hype is still there, trade it until the attention over said coin has died out. Then again, these coins are only few and far in between, and you can't really get some trading knowledge out of it since it's a one time, big time thing.
4510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is the Bitcoin symbol going to be added to the keyboard? on: December 04, 2021, 12:19:16 PM
It might take a while, but for now we just have to stick with ASCII codes and alt codes if ever it is implemented. Bitcoin is only starting to hit the mainstream, and I don't think keyboard manufacturers are ready to implement a dedicated BTC key just yet. It might take a few good years before this starts to be a trend. It will start on customized keyboards, until such time that it will branch out on main keyboards as well.
4511  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think does this Cities have that we dont? on: December 04, 2021, 10:28:22 AM
If anything, these countries are more open to change, and them failing on accepting said changes won't really put them in too much trouble since they can easily bounce back as if nothing happened. Also, culture probably plays an important role, too. Other countries that haven't posted any significant contributions or innovations in the past tend to have leaders and people that are extremely conservative, and won't change their ways just because something is more efficient by just a small percent.
4512  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Economic Advantage on: December 04, 2021, 09:26:33 AM
Bitcoin actually gives you the freedom to control your assets and use it to your advantage. We've seen how people utilized bitcoin to aid them on their failing local currencies, and we've seen them fare better compared to just continuously using their local currencies that have no hope.

Then again you simply can't erase local currencies from the equation. One way or the other, one will have to use local currencies since bitcoins and crypto can't still be used directly to pay for goods and necessities. At best, bitcoin can serve as a hedge against inflation—at least for now.
4513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Falling due to FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) ? on: December 04, 2021, 08:13:35 AM
Of all the FUDs I've heard, this has got to be the worst one ever.

How can one ban or restrict users from using private wallets and getting bitcoins in them? They can ban exchanges, the trades to fiat, and all those other things, but they can never restrict or ban people from using bitcoin and private addresses.

It's like saying people can no longer use purses to keep their coins because the government doesn't want them to, or because the coins no longer fit on the purses. It's just absurd.

Every FUD that appears after the other gets dumber and dumber, and proves that they are already running out of ideas to bring bitcoin down.
4514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Community is Lit on: December 04, 2021, 07:33:34 AM
It's just the crypto community protecting their interests as well, nothing new there. The words used by Charlie might mean well, but the way Berkshire Hathaway meddles with other derivatives and assets that indirectly hurts customers conveys his duality on the matter. Both sides don't really care for the customer that much, most especially if profit is already realized. They will just give out products that sells, and once sale is done, they could care less about what their customers complaints are.
4515  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason for the dump in Bitcoin and most of the Altcoin? on: December 04, 2021, 05:47:12 AM
I'm not really concerned with what happened tbh. We've been up for so long and I guess it's about time for a correction which we have right now. All other coins are experiencing massive dumps, and it's understandable seeing how bitcoin tumbled as of late. Right now, I would still wait and see until I buy coins again. There isn't much to spend on anyway and this might be the perfect opportunity for other people to buy in on the crypto market as well.
4516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I only have 0.0001 Bitcoin is that okay? on: December 03, 2021, 11:51:39 PM
There's really not a minimum bitcoins you need to hold in order to be ready in the future. You may only have that much today, but you can still work for the money and buy coins as much as you like, as long as it's within your means and your finances are not greatly affected. It may not amount to much today, but who knows how much it will be in the future? For now, keep it as if you're keeping thousands of bitcoins -- it is your gateway to crypto.
4517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Flippening: Will it happen? on: December 03, 2021, 11:24:36 PM
There are occassions wherein the gap is narrowing, though knowing bitcoin and how many people believe in it, that gap is widen, and bitcoin still remains to be the top coin in the crypto world. Also, a few failed 'upgrade' on ETH and its insanely high gas fees also sealed the deal. Had it not been for those "upgrades" that happened, bitcoin would have been toppled even just for a while, and we see the flippening happeningnright at our very own eyes.
4518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is it good to penalize airdrop hunters? on: December 03, 2021, 10:51:01 PM
Or perhaps just stop the idea of airdropping all in all? The thing is, a lot of people are joining airdrops for the money and not really adding some substance to the community. Kind of like robbers in broad daylight. I understand that this is a strategy to get some more people on board the project, but it risks the investment of those who actually paid to get in on the coin. It's not being selfish to restrict airdrops, but it's a smart move to lessen coin dumping all in all.
4519  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: 59 BTC around $ 3,352,000 stolen from hot wallet by Bitcoin atm Manufacturer on: December 03, 2021, 10:24:53 PM
Seems like you also need to ask your people, especially those who handle the audits of your ATM. I can't wrap my head around the fact that you've lost that much in a span of 4 years, yet you weren't notified even once by your people about what's really happening with your funds.

If you have strong evidence on your ATM manufacturer stealing those money from you, no other option exists but to sue them.
4520  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Crypto 101 by BSP on: December 03, 2021, 09:48:46 PM
Mas maganda sanang pagtuunan ng pansin ng BSP ang pagprotekta sa mga crypto users ng Pilipinas sans the regulations dahil alam nating matatagalan pa itong dumating. Maaring mag touch ng kaunti sa mga topic gaya ng hacking, fraud, at iba pang negatives pero wag sana mag dwell sa mga ganito sakaling magkaroon man ng panibagong livestream.

All in all, good to know na ang sentral na institusyon ng mga bangko sa Pinas ay gumagawa ng paraan para makatulong sa mga Pilipino kahit papano.
