He is now in quarantine, I wonder how would this affect his presidential candidacy. I read the news earlier and his wife is also positive. The thing is, most of the people who were infected got healed and continue their life as nothing has happened. Now is not the time to criticize the US president rather pray for his pass recovery. I wonder how other people react to this news, especially US citizens. there are lots of opinions hours after his tweets. He just said a few days ago that the USA is weeks away from the Coronavirus vaccine. I wonder if you could use the vaccine after you got infected with the virus.

I agree with the statement about gold is costly since most of the people around the world don't own some gold and some of the owners have their gold pawn in the pawnshop due to properties. However, with bitcoin, this is no longer the case because even a one-dollar investment per day will make you a big-time someday. On the other hand, you need to be a millionaire to invest in gold. We have seen so much information regarding that $1 investment, how about we increased it to $3 dollar and leave it there after 5 - 10 years. Imagine how much would you earned with that little investment.

Anytime I go into my telegram account, I see countless number of airdrop with countless offers but the challenge is trying to know which of this airdrop that is genuine.

Unltil you've joined all of them, you wouldn't know which one is fake or not. You need to gather some experience from those airdrops as long as you avoid those airdrops that involved depositing money from your wallet to win some giveaway. Just join all of them and when you finished you will see some will pay and will not. It's the same for the bounties and you will not be disappointed as long as you only doing it for the sake of gathering experience. later on you will know the important of trying to joined them all so that when a new Airdrop has launched you will have some idea whether it's fake or legit.

I am surprised that nobody has written anything about the new ball yet. After all it is the main tool.  Grin
Adidas has presented his ball for the upcoming group stage. Of course the well-known stars should not be missing. I like the imprinting which gives it a depth.


Source: https://de.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/news/0261-1080103735b2-f9ab108add8e-1000--adidas-stellt-offiziellen-ball-fur-die-gruppenphase-der-uefa-ch/


What a nice design and unique style brought to us by Adidas company. I wonder how they price this kind of new edition soccer ball in the market. How much will it cost at its new launched? or this ball is just exclusive for the UEFA Champions League? They could make it limited edition though the price is not that cheap. My guess is, this ball is only exclusive in the UEFA Champions League and no one can own it before the end of the UEFA Champions League.
5385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie's guide to avoid ICO Scam on: October 01, 2020, 01:50:24 PM
Sometimes the initial look of website or whitepaper is enough to judge a project because professional and serious projects will not compromise even on the quality and design of the website. So we have to check the ico project from all aspects before looking to invest.

This was the case before but those crooks learned some method that will also completely changed these things and make it look real until they run away with your investment. Most of the time they just plagiarized their site and whitepapers but right now they can completely make a new one and make it look like legit. Right now we need to be vigilant when choosing some ICO, the only thing I can advise is look for those ICO that promoted by the known bounty managers like Hhampuz and the others because of the bounty they've been promoted has some highest success rate.
5386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: October 01, 2020, 01:28:15 PM
If this fight is really gonna happen, then the result is already crystal clear, Manny Paquiao would win. Conor is a mixed martial artist, meaning punching is not his expertise so in a boxing match, the odds will be in Manny Paquiao surely. I hope this match would happen in the right time because I've heard that it was for a good cause, and that is to help people in the amidst on this pandemic.

I know our Champ is old enough and already decided to quit boxing in 2021, but he still has the power of the true legend and a person with a heart that is full of humanity.
Yeah Manny has high chances if winning. Besides why would mcgregor wanted to fight manny in a boxinf ring? I think the fight will be all about the money. Since Manny has influence greatly in boxing especially during the fight with Mayweather then others like Mcgregor has been motivated to ask for fight even if they are not in line with their fighting career. How would he hit Manny with such agility, speed and power punches? He will just going to dance with sweet music and sleep well when gets knock out.

Yeah! the spokesperson of Manny Pacquiao in his official page has stated that one of the reasons he is fighting McGregor is about the money he can earned. He had a good reasons since our country is struggling to get through from this pandemic. Some of the money he earned from that fight, if it's gonna happen, will be donated to the charity in our country to be donated to those needy that badly needed some basic financials.
5387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Company Cash Reserve on: October 01, 2020, 01:04:31 PM

I found this on twitter which this guy told that they already moved to a bitcoin standard which they are using Bitcoin as their primary reserve asset.

At first, I am glad reading this, I hope this is true.
I know there are lot of advantages and disadvantages for this, especially they are buying Bitcoins with the company's money and it will become a reserve asset.

The question here is what could be the difference of a company holding an Bitcoin for reseve asset than an ordinary man buying holding a Bitcoin?

Since for me, it is a purely risky since it is company and a lot of people are relying on the company itself. But somehow, there's also a lot of possibility that their reserve will generate a huge returns for them if ever Bitcoin will continue to increase it's price.

I consider this strategy as a gamble or might look good for some reasons because who knows when they need that reserved money. If they bought BTC with the reserved money from its lowest price, their company reserved money had been increased significantly today. This is some good strategy they got here as long as they've bought BTC at its low price. Because no matter how bad the situation of the market is, the price will recover after some few months of decline.
5388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vietnam bursts an illegal casino who used to handle bets worth $3 billions on: September 30, 2020, 03:24:14 PM
An illegal casino with such big revenue cannot operate without the blessing of government officials. I am sure a large sum of that revenue was being paid to higher people to keep them operational. Something might have gone wrong and these guys got busted. Corruption is everywhere and in a third world country it is rampant

Obviously some of the bureaucrats and the government officials will be involved in the operations. But the problem is that not all of the officials will be corrupt and also, not all of the corrupt officials will be in the payroll of the illegal business. So running an illegal casino is a risky proposition. It can get closed down and the owners prosecuted at any moment.

When the owners and others who are involved in this illegal activity are interrogated, those corrupt official will not sleep peacefully in their bed. They gonna think that their names are being mention in the interrogation room. The moment the authority caught these guys, that's the moment they been waiting for. Because those people can name the corrupt officials who are involved in this activity and they can clean their goverment from making this guys pay from what they have done to the country. You can understand what I'm saying if you watch the Korean movie "Master" where they caught the mastermind of the biggest networking scam in their country and managed to get through the information of who are the officials involved in that networking scam.

Isn't it funny that when a bank is hacked, the hackers are the ones who are blamed, but when an exhange is hacked of its BTC, bitcoin is the thing people blame? It's more like jealous anti-bitcoiners pedalling these accusations in attempt to undermine its stock. Those efforts have failed so far, but what is working is that they managed to undermine the public's preception of Bitcoin.

Honestly I find it hard to believe that exchange wallets offer more convenience, besides buying bitcoin with fiat. It's a matter of registering an account vs. installing a wallet software and writing down a seed phrase. The correct word is "laziness" as it's equally easy to transfer money from bank --> exchange --> wallet software, and back again.

Now you mention it, this is become true and it make sense everytime a hacking incident happens, the word Bitcoin seems highlighten to fool people the true stories of the incident which is nothing to do with bitcoin in the sense of illegal activity. the one who is worthy of blames are those hackers and crooks who used cryptocurrencies as their main crops for their scams. Those haters really annoyed me, everytime they published such news and posts in their blogs. their publications should be detailed not like this.

Hi guys, is this game LAN or tournaments in LOL are still played online just like the others? What do I mean by LAN is with the audience.
I can't find info about it.
 
I have read it will be a limited audience due to Covid, but do not know what many people that includes.

The audience won't matter cause the championship will be live on streaming. We will cheer at home on our favorite team. Unlike other 5vs5 games, LoL is much fun and thrilling to watch. The skills of the players are unique to their identity. Although the audiences are limited in the live show, the match will be fun to watch from home with everyone who are playing this game. Unlike the championships from 2019 like we see in the picture, the cheers of the crowd will be limited this time.

5391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My take on DeFi bounties on: September 30, 2020, 01:33:31 PM
That's all because of the current trend, when the trend last year was all about IEO, you can see most of the bounties appeared in the bounty section was IEO and most of them turned out to be a scam. Thankfully, unlike before, now we have some people who quickly post every potential scam in the Scams Accusation board where you will find some information about some scam attempt of some new bounty that appeared in the bounty section. Now because of this Defi trend, we are seeing bounties that are related to Defi which we don't really know if they really a real project or not. It's better to check first the Scams Accusation board before joining any bounty to prevent your time to be waste if you are new to this kind of job. you can go here to check: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Exchange name: Binance

Di ko pa nagagamit yung P2P feature ni Binance pero sabi ng isang kilalang manager dito na kasama namin sa GC eh maganda raw itong gamitin. Ang alam ko ay sa gcash mapupunta kapag nagconvert ka ng currency mo. I mean halimbawa icoconvert mo yung XRP mo sa PHP tapos yung PHP ay diretso na sa gcash account mo.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Magandang Idea nga ito since ang taas ng kaltas sa Coins kapag direkta kang nag convert ng BTC mo to PHP. Sana may makapag confirm nito para naman masubukan since via Gcash din yung pag withdraw ko ng pera mula sa Coins. kung hindi ako nagkakamali, medyo mataas yung rate ng coins sa pagkaltas mula sa pag convert which is nasa 4% yata yun or higit pa.

Ito yung price last time, kayo nalang bahalang humusga. pa post na rin ang rate sa Binance para ma kumpara natin.

5393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: September 30, 2020, 12:45:13 PM

Boxing and MMA is quite different, if it's boxing, it's Manny who will win and if its in MMA it's obviously Mcgregor.
MMA vs boxer, not a good fight to watch but since this attracts money, good for them.

And one thing I would disagree, Pacman does not upset Thurman as he was the betting favorite in the fight.

Since McGregor is a Mix martial artist he can switch to boxing with no problems. So he will fight Manny Pacquiao in his sport which is boxing. Now McGregor need to accelerate his practice in his stamina because last time he fought Mayweather he is lacking this basic and lose the fight. they don't have more than 5 rounds in the UFC because fights won't reach that long. But in boxing, he needs to expect the fight to reach 12 rounds since he is fighting one of the living legends.

5394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If all BTC Gets Bought Up? on: September 30, 2020, 12:14:52 PM
That's not going to happen since the movement of the BTC market is not like that of shitcoins. When someone starting to harvest BTC in the market, the price will greatly increase, and that what's we called bull-run. When something like that happens, the price will rise up to $100,000 for 1 BTC or more. That's why I said from the start, that's not going to happen because whoever does that will drastically lose his money to buy Bitcoins at its peak prices.

It's much easier to control what your kids are doing on mobile devices. You can install special software and restrict access to unwanted apps and content.
It's much harder to control what they do at school or on the street. Here you need to resort to proper education and explain that you can not play games for money.

That's why parents need to consider spying their kids when they are not in the house because they could see another behavior of their kids in the street. Wise parents will follow their kids in the street to see what they were doing and when they found they are not doing the right thing, they will discipline their child. So that things like the OP post won't happen in the future.
5396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Cryptospace is getting Worst on: September 29, 2020, 02:21:40 PM
Since they are the main trend in the industry of crypto right now, every move they take is some kinda trend to others which will make them think they can do what they want with their Dex exchange. This is obviously for the investors to take those bite and invest on whatever project they promote even those project that had no sense in them as long as it has some price, investors would buy those coins as long as it was promoted via Uniswap.
5397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you prefer? Live casino games or slots? on: September 29, 2020, 02:01:57 PM
To be honest none of them. Both can be manipulated to have the house it's advantage so not fair. Somewhere I read a story that in a casino in the roulette they can use magnet or something to manipulate the ball to stop at a certain number. And slots are just some random images rolling in front of you. I have no idea how people get excitements from it :-P

My only preference to take entertainment from gambling is sportsbet. There ARE match fixing but in the big leagues it is not very common so call it fair.

It's the same for me because those games are hard to predict especially what we have seen in the NBA we never thougth that those two teams will be competing in the 2020 NBA finals that would make us excited even though we don't bet in any of the team. But when you bet on one of them, every shot will make you excited and want to shout with the fans for every crucial shot.

The “Digital Nigeria” mobile app is available on playstore, enabling Nigerians to enroll in ICT courses within the comfort of their homes.  Much of the content was provided through AfDB’s partnership with Microsoft.  Students can download certificates after they complete the courses

Well, no one wants to be left behind. This is the trend now, and we should e,brace the future. Good for Nigeria, by giving them access to digital portal where they can learn about the technology. This is creating opportunity to its citizens, and readying the country to a digital future.

This is obvious for the country like Nigeria, they want to catch up with the other countries that has prosper when they applied in their countries the ongoing trend. I hope this new industry in their country won't become a reason for their government officials to stole the suppossed budget for this project

So far this is the most effective and trending investing method you can use in the Defi market which the most talk nowadays. so, Yes.

Those who managed to joined the airdrop and invested in their pre-sales have become rich and will gonna hold their coins for long since the tendency of this investment to grow in these coming months are high. the only problem is we don't know when will this trend end.

Hello guys, Anyone who has not recieved his/her Howdoo tokens you can ask here: https://t.me/hyprrcommunity


Hey Man! are you really not tired of these guys telling us false promises? Man! it was 2 years after the bounty ended and I haven't receive anything from them after I fulfilled everything they've asked for. Now you gonna tell us they will finally distribute it? so far, no one has received anything yet. How's that? We have done our job and made some contributions for the successful launched of their project and what they have done to us? nothing in return. Now you can check the spreadsheet if they really mean it this time. tell them to distribute it to the participants without any reasons.

You can check both in the Facebook and Twitter I was a participants back then and that 4373.34 tokens could have been used now for some basic needs.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiTNaW1_dJEoCV_Hev9igZOqkl9JcHjjX5gMkAZd2QI/edit#gid=1761066376

This tokens could have become a big help in the midst of a pandemic if could they distribute it to us by now.

If they really give me my rewards, I'll take everything I said about this project and maybe promote them via some friends which are influencers in Youtube and other social media.

My ETH Address is still the same until now.  Undecided Undecided
