I have heard the term elliptic curve in my math class, I'm not sure what exact math class it is but essentially I remember it to be an algebraic curve that is non-singular. And upon searching it on google (just elliptic curve), it means


Technically speaking, if I understood correctly, the curve will not intersect again itself. We can see that this topic would be related to the part where Bitcoin addresses are also safe to be publicly seen. This principle has made it impossible to get the Private key from a Public key.

I researched an article where the math behind it is discussed and it's a good read.

I love the idea of donating your spare money and putting it into better use. I hope the majority of the high rollers in casinos are thinking about this and possibly piling up all the money they can allocate and give to the needy. For sure there are a lot of people who desperately need it and that's just a starting point. I think it doesn't matter where it comes from whether gambling or hard-earned money, it's where it will go that will count.

This is what I currently do and I feel unproductive yet I'm still entertained. I think it's okay right now but what I loved most when staying at home right now is the cleaning part. It's kind of therapeutic. You could add it to the list you have given.

I think the majority went to the obvious route. Online Gambling

I really hope that some of the addicted gamblers have gone and made this situation an opportunity to improve on themselves and let themselves learn that they don't really need gambling in their lives, it's entertainment.

If you are talking about online casinos, then probably. There are a lot of ways to feed some desires if you are addicted to it. I hope they are not gambling though (if someone is addicted)

I think the best ones (for addicted gamblers) are a new hobby. Possibly music? Lol.

If you don't have kids, much better right? Lol. I don't think kids at a young age would understand it already, unless 7 years old and above? Maybe let them know what you are doing and let them expect that it's just for entertainment and enjoyment.

I think they have earned enough with all their operation. A month or two can be sustained, IMO. I'm more concerned about the workers though.

Ang sakit tingnan no? Lalo na kung talagang madami kang ininvest. Kaya talagang malaking tulong sa pakiramdam yung i-invest mo lang yung afford mo talaga. Mahirap na talaga yung ganito, volatile pero maganda pag tama yung call mo.

What the right term is, IMO, is that the government is giving the necessary lockdowns so that it would limit the spread. I don't know about other countries but in ours, it's like that. Limiting the spread of the virus means that we also limit the infections all around and hopefully, it would be gone before we know it.

Even if you want to, I think you can never gamble right now with the current situation. Almost all should've been prohibited to operate. Maybe we could try to enjoy in our homes for once and gamble there? Lol.

Everytime na tinatanong ako about Bitcoin or parang kinakamusta na kung okay pa ba si Bitcoin, ang sinasabi sakin palagi ay "Nag bibitcoin ka pa?" or "Kumusta na yung Bitcoin?". Sa isip isip ko lang, hindi naman ako nag aalaga ng Bitcoin? Pero joke joke lang sa sarili ko. Pag tinatanong ako niyan, ang gusto nila malaman is kung Tumaas ba yung presyo or Bumaba?.

Madalas naman ang interes lang talaga ng tao is yung price ng Bitcoin eh. Ang naiisip ko naman na terms is katulad ng

• 51% Attack
• Addresses
• Airdrop
• ATH
• Cryptography
• Hash Rate

At marami pang iba. Siguro maganda din gumawa ng Glossary na tagalog?

Upon checking the link given by Harkorede, I did notice that the website is quite familiar, especially the logo. Imagine how easy it is to create a website and just copying the UI and making it look legitimate.

I think the people who are going to be scammed by this are the ones who are not familiar with the copied website, Bitcasino.

Hindi naman dapat maging panganib kung susundin mo ang mga pinapagawa ng gobyerno. Kailangan talaga itong sundin kung hindi, dadami na lalo yung mga infected cases dito sa bansa. Nakakaawa lang yung talagang walang matirhan or hindi kaya mag stay at kailangan mag trabaho talaga, pero wala ng bibili sa kanila. Kailangan talagang matulungan sana sila ng gobyerno.

Ang meaning ng asset ay useful or valuable thing. So pwede mong i-trade for something. Kung kinakailangan, ittrade ko ang mga coins ko para sa ikabubuti.

Katulad ng sinabi ni mk4, health is more important than money. Learned this the hard way though.

It’s good that he predicted the crash, but I hope that he understands that it’s not just bitcoin but every other stuff that there is because the current economy now is different and there are a lot of people cashing out there earnings for the need of supplies to last this type of event.

For the investors in bitcoin, I think it still necessary to consider the the fact that it is yet the number one cryptocurrency, and it’s going to be mined continuously, and even if it goes down in value, it will still be a good asset in my opinion.

When all things are chaotic, I think that anything can happen. When there is a crisis, something would happen. No matter what you do or where you go, anything can happen, especially in the prices of cryptocurrency. We all should be familiar with the volatility of the asset and there's just nothing you could do when that happens. We wouldn't want that to happen but it's going to be a great opportunity to buy more if that happens, right?

If ETH becomes $10 - $15, I would buy a lot of it.

Is it always the price that matters? Isn't the application of the coin more important than it's the price? I don't think the price is the reason why the cryptocurrency is alive, it's the users that actually use it or trade it.

Hey there absy, I remember you hanging out in Bitvest. Do you still bet there?

Anyways, I think this is the great time to go out of your way and find a different one. If you think your gambling habits are harming your way of life, I think it's time to go in a change of phase. Probably get the opportunity of this time, home lockdown, to find another hobby and replace that harmful (if it's harming your life) habit.

Some people would just go in another gambling route, would you continue to?

I wish it was that easy that the virus suddenly stops and dies. COVID-19 is definitely something to be worried about in terms of our health. There's no need for panic though, I think people can have time to reflect on what they are feeling and make sure that the decisions that they make, like gambling, should go with their lifestyle.

Instead of giving out tips that have already been discussed 129387345098750 times here in bitcointalk, why not take the current situation (COVID-19) and start from there?

Grabe no? Ganyan na ba yung mga developers nila na wala ng magawa at kung ano trending yun na agad gagawan ng project or something? Parang insensitive kasi.

---

Madalas yung mga gumagawa ng projects is mostly copy/paste na lang. Like may template na agad sila for that. So for sure, it's easy for them to create any kind of viral project.

---

Almost all alts na ganyan ang purpose, shitcoins lang talaga. 0% contribution to anything. Lol.

---

Marami na natuto diyan. Mawawala lang din sila and they are just going to get your money. Napagdaanan ko na yan, yung akala mo magiging successful, super active ng devs tapos biglang boom. Wala na sila.

Hindi ko alam kung meron pang maniwala sa mga projects that produce different bounties etc. Hindi ako naninira ng kahit ano pero medyo na trigger lang ako nung nakita ko yung thread na 'to. i-Check niyo na lang yung link sa baba.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232528.0

Sa tingin niyo ba na meron pang mag seseryoso ng mga projects lalo na may lumabas na katulad niyan? Nakakalungkot na meron pang ganyan.

Ano ang opinyon niyo dito?

I do believe that some people can't handle these kinds of happening when they have invested more than they can lose. Feeling ko that's one of the main reasons why someone could think of killing themselves. I hope na wala na kahit na sino ang makaramdam ng ganito, at buti may nag papaalala sa atin ng ganito. Mahirap na, at kung may nararamdaman, mag sabi lang at wag itago.

Salamat dito, medyo kasi nakakadepress din talaga kasi may mga pagkakamali din ako sa mga investments ko sa buhay. Sana maging okay ang lahat sa atin.

In terms of competition of businesses, I think there are some events that led to someone paying for scandalous type of comment in a certain business. In life, I'm sure we have those moments where we think negatively of a certain business and some even giving feedback for a negative experience. Maybe you could easily pay someone BTC just to put negative comments but it won't stick if the reputation is great, right? Just like you said.

It has always been a case to case basis, you know.

For example:
Friend A: Needs the money for the hospital bills

• Sell now because the need for the instant
• This person wants to have to sell at the best price so it's either he is thankful that he sold a few weeks ago when BTC was $8000-$9000 rather than today

Friend B: Has extra income to invest in BTC

• Just keeps on HODLing
• No emergency needed

---

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that it's always going to be in case to case. So for me, I didn't sell a BTC too because I didn't need to but if I ever have the need for money, whether it's for bills, necessities, etc, I would sell it.

Bakit ka pa mag loloan kung may BTC ka? Collateral should be equivalent to the value you would be loaning. Siguro nga, katulad ng sinabi ni Vaculin, ipadala mo na yung mga hardware wallet. Tapos siyempre consider the shipping amount din.
