Congrats sa iyo, kabayan! Medyo naging mahaba ang nilakbay mo, although malaking challenge ang merit system sa pag-rank up kinaya mo parin. Congrats ulit, and salamat sa pag-papaalala na mag-try magsumikap nang sa gayon ay maabot ang ninanais na rank. Thank you din sa pagiging isa sa mga inspirasyon dito sa forum lalo na dito sa ating local.

Thank you dito kabayan, appreciated!

We cannot change what we are, but we can change how we do things, imo. We might be probably a chronic gambler once but we might be able to cure it by holding back even a little. Although we didn't get rid off the urge of taking bet but the thing is that we lessen probability of losing big assets/money. Diverging attention is a good thing either, but I kinda think that we would go back to gamble at some point in time. Thus, cure isn't like getting rid totally in gambling but a barrier to have our own set of limits.

Discipline, isn't it? Really works even in real life though, might be gambling, some sort of different addiction, financial, and so on. We must have it in our heads all the time.

May two sides itong adapsyon na ito sa kasalukuyan. Well wala rin naman akong authority para magsabi nito, pero, nadagragdagan ang pagtaas nitong bitcoin dahil sa hype nito ngayon. But once na bumagsak ito panigurado marami ulit ang maga-out sa space na ito. I am not saying na bad thing ito, my point is kung gaano nila pinanghahawakan itong paga-adopt nila sa bitcoin, not only for the sake of having profit, para na rin sana maka-contribute sa pagpapalago sa environment, community at as well price na mayroon si bitcoin ngayon.

I like the art, man.

I don't think that this gonna work. There will come a time that such money in your hands wouldn't be enough, imo. May be our time allotment in some activities would increase up since, gaining income in gambling isn't a top priority anymore. Well, may be in some cases though but I don't think that this gonna work to everybody.

IMO, we cannot change what we are, but we can change how we do things. So we can do some shift of activities in our leisure time to divert our attention out rather than spending much time in gambling. Hence, finding passion is a solid foundation we could offer to ourselves that would quite cover up our desires to go back into gambling space.

It is like quitting addiction like qutting smoke, and then save it regularly so that you can buy your own house/car. Well, might work for people who totally dedicated to such work however it is hard to pull it through though, because, we have our own regular stuff that requires money to be spend, same to this situation, $1 must be a small amount for the others but in some various places $1 even worth bigger than it supposed to. Anyway, the gain here in this practice would totally work if you're just about to invest when bitcoin is in its down price, of course. Well, you could pull it out anytime you want, either way. Might try this idea, thanks.

Kind of late to notice this wonderful story OP. Thank you for sharing this, I find this totally an eye-opening especially for people who have been in great loss because they are looking for a space for them to sit here in crypto space; following what successful people here did, looking for the opportunity they couldn't get because of constant failures, and hostile surroundings. Truly, fortune favours the bold, it is often that people who took risks, criticism, unfortunate journeys, as a challenge to grow up will enjoy the whole benefit in the end. Thank you, for sharing this story OP, once again.

He's considering the other possibility, and you should do that, although he had the guts to say it so. It is just a matter of lessening potential loss. Well, in your case, you must be unfortunate or you might be playing without having any prior plan just betting what you got till you run out of money, that's really bad, man. Besides, even if someone's loses a lot that doesn't mean the casino itself would gain bigger, there will be always someone lucky out there who will win the jackpot prize or the most closest to biggest prize. Imo, it would depend on how many players would bet their money in the line that few of it would be in the house itself.

Well, always been, even in real life scenarios, but the risk is always there even the popular sites sometimes turns to be the opposite of what we expect.

Who would've deny? Lol. It is the reality man, I mean there are some who aren't looking at the same picture as this but majority are riding along the hype. Everybody has their own greed, especially these businesses they are dealing with it on a more practical use better than just going on without a good timing then failed, right?
Totally agree, man. Nobody wants to be that reckless especially there is a big event coming up on the scene. May be these news was brought by coming events on crypto space and want to be counted in.

Sometimes, need natin tumingin sa mga opinion ng iba to validate our own curiousity as well. But don't take such information too far, falsehope/misleading ang iba doon. Kasi kung totally dependent ka sa claims porket sikat or what, for sure mapapasama ng kalagayan mo. Sapat na 'yong aware ka sa ibang opinion para you are aware as well on making up your own decision or what to do next.

Once again, validation lang.
Sa maraming factors kasi nagba-vary ang price movement, and no one holds such actions. Global-scale ang kaugnay dito meaning every individual is parte. Kaya no one can predict an exact price kahit gumamit pa mga expert kuno ng sophisticated formulas.

Great video Chris! What an effort, I wish I had the same skills and patience you have. You really love bitcoin, huh going to share this with people I know struggling in money stuff to promote your video as well.

Well, there's no basis on promoting bitcoin itself. It could be the way you want, the way you think would be the best way in your terms or field, like what Chris did here. Meme nowadays are totally an attention hooker, in my opinion, whenever people crosses out on something unfamiliar which may be like meme's message or what, they will tend to look for some source to confirm what meme wants to say. Well, in such cases, there will be some circumstances that some other people would even dare to dive to such knowledge, and will get to be a part of a community they never thought they could get. So much story, but it is definitely worth trying though, besides we don't know what would be the other result except entertaining people.

Agree,  some alts especially on the top list are moving upwards. Probably because of bitcoin gradual pump? Don't you think? Anyway, this movement would not last long, it will fall then shortly since, pumps are just being accompanied by other's movement rather than having the pump to a certain altcoin alone. Trust is being test here, and people lack of that. So once it had reach, may be close to its highest price for a certain week/day people would right down selling it off quickly, like how ETH moves, imo.

Better for their own improvement. But for maximizing the possible users they can used other popular coins in the market who will provide them a better functionality, in transactions and payments system. Well, there is nothing wrong on choosing a best side though. Anyway, I am not total gamer, but I love playing online/offline games, knowing this incoming improvements will surely give players a much more better path/options on transacting with the game. And I believe, that it will gather more players, especially those who are fan of cryptocurrency, may be checking it out? Or supporting the game as well.

Sums it up. But I was a bit surprised though. And I even try to double check it, and it was real. However, the game here isn't circulating around the price itself. How big it may look like, majority of people here tends to considered a dead coin already, though it has a huge price in head.

It was definitely, controlled by a few users. So, the movement would just circulate around to the users who have it. So, once it already been consumed, what I mean, it turns to zero then it would be a farewell to such coin.

I am surprised with this, I never thought of alts would have bigger price over bitcoin. However there are some shady reasons behind that, right?

Million dollar fight once again. Definitely, such money will be going to his bag of million once again. Anyway, I am not sure with this anticipated match either, as McGregor's attitude seems changed recently, so not yet sure if he will took crowd's desire. I want to reiterate "if this isn't enough for him". He got enough money though, totally enough to spend with his life time even though he doesn't have to work anymore. He's just fighting, to satisfy audience/boxing fans, which I do believe. And his recent fight, he won, which fuels him to step up in the ring though his body can't keep to what he was before.

Always pack this advice up. Keep it always in your head, and I bet your journey will be safe. What most people missing here, is that, they buy recklessly, going side to side on where hypes are on fever-pitch leaving the right consciousness on dealing with short term trend. Thus, lead to a severe loss, then going to feel sorry with themselves. That is why I agree with the statement above, if people are going to buy out on what they can afford to lose, their journey, would totally be fine. Nothing to worry for such loses anymore. How about on losing streak? That's totally unfortunate, but whatever it is. Just keep on going out to an amount of you can afford to lose, it is what it is.

I don't have any long story to tell here. I have no idea rin paano ko sisimulan ito. Turning 3 years na rin pala ako dito sa forum having this one account alone. Maganda-ganda rin naman ang start-up ko rito since nung nagsisimula pa lamang ako ay hindi ako nag-iisa, may nagga-guide sakin 'di lamang dito sa forum pati na rin sa kaibigan since recommendation niya sa akin ito. Totally wala akong idea kung ano ba itong forum as a whole, I know what bitcoin is, solely based sa aking nabasa sa facebook pero deep behind that wala na. Upon my journey, unti-unti na na-develop 'yong idea at the same time 'yong essence nitong forum (para i-connect tayong mga crypto enthusiast; exchange discussions, news and services na rin).  2017 ako nag-register, clueless na 'yong year na 'yon ang pinaka-summit ng market. And by that time pa-easy easy lang ako 'di ako nag-took advantage. Didn't regret it din naman since na sa process ako nung pag-tuklas ng mga bagay-bagay dito.

Nag-pause ako mid-year 2018, dumami task at responsibility sa school, pasilip-silip lang dito pero I didn't get myself involve with any of this. And I decided bumalik after a year then, at 'yon na rin napasama sa art contest. 'Di lang sa merit ako natuwa upon joining doon, dahil na rin mas nakilala ko pa mga kapwa ko tao rito sa local. Mas lumawak 'yong ground ko to learn, at source na rin ng mga opportunity lol. And mas na-appreciate ko lalo 'tong forum, better sa kung ano tingin ko rito way back then.

Learnings:

• Quality post matters - way back before, when I started to register here wala pang merit system, kaya maraming shitpost para may mai-submit sa mga post requirement sa campaign. Well, aminado ako na I am one of them before, but I changed, and will continue to improve.
• Explore other sections - sa perspective ko, 'di recommended na mag-stay sa piling section lang. Dahil maraming knowlede ang mga nakaabang sa iba pang section. Dati puro sa top most section lang ako, didn't have any idea kung ano 'yony Altcoin and didn't bother myself to even look kung anong meron since nagii-stay lang ako sa kung ano lang alam ko.  But ever since I decided to explore, mas na broaden 'yong current knowledge ko at mas lalong na amazed dahil marami pa lang ibang uri ng crypto (tunog newbie pero talagang nagtagal ako sa piling section lang)
• Avoid plagiarism - hindi naman ako guilty dito. Pero mas better na i-avoid natin ito just for the sake of receiving merits, fooling others na you made a quality post, pero 'di naman talaga. Like itong case na ito. Para lang makapag-rank up gumagawa na ng pre-made post para magmukhang worthy of merits pero upon thoroughly investigating, in-admit nung user. Better na mag-rank up/maka-receive tayo ng merits dahil sa effort (kaya nga merit). Huwag natin sirain ang purpose ng merit system. Medyo ironic sa side ko noon (dahil sabik na sabik ako dati) pero may space naman para magbago.
• Help others - 'di lamang sa pag-guide pati na rin sa mga monetary donation. Dahil ito sa charity program ng kapwa natin pinoy, mas na open 'yong heart ko tumulong at least sa mga bagay-bagay. In crypto enthusiast way (katulad ng ginawa ng mga kapwa pinoy natin dito), sometimes nagdo-donate ako using 'yong mga naipon ko dito sa forum kahit maliit man. Nais ko kung may magbabasa man nito na do your part din. Huwag natin i-solo ang mga opportunity na ito dahil nangailangan din tayo dati.

Marami pa sana ako gusto sabihin. Pero tapusin ko na dito, thank you for opening this topic OP. Sabi ko wala ako gaano story lol. Thank you, guys at thank you rin sa forum na ito.

It may be his intention or not, the point that he helped, it do mean a lot. People are going to criticized you no matter which side you're really on. I agree, it is not right to advertise something, but the fact that he reached, and lend a hand for people in need though he had something in his bag, it will give him a win-win situation, recognition, and as well his marketing stuff. We must not feel jealous about it, and be proud somehow that at least, even though how much he hate him, he did make his way helping people in need although it seems not right at some point.

It is in 1/4 of of your desired price, though it may count a little but it is totally far, in XRP condition. If we will relate it to bitcoin it seems that it would have to even doubled its price. Anyway, when will it reach $1? Tell you, no one knows man, though if there are some sort of analysis out there, it still ends up being a bunch of claims/predictions, may be it does have basis but it ain't much a real thing, in the end. Anyway, if I remember it correctly, dunno if it is to XRP's stuff, there was a thread saying that XRP is not decentralized at all. Not going to tell the whole story, but if it is a real thing... then pretty much, there will be a highly significant effect to XRP price.

Bitcoin really help me stand on my own. Not to beg to my parents to spare me some cash whenever I have to go out with my friends or whenever I have to buy something I really want but I don't necessarily need, anymore. Bitcoin really help me in those factors, but this forum molds me to a different person than I was. I came to bother myself to study, get familiar with things around here, and learn from different discussions with here; what was behind with bitcoin's price, essence and so on. I am still amazed with this, and still looking forward to opportunities I could get here, not only financially but more particular skills, and knowledge with this great technology, bitcoin and blockhain as well.

These two great altcoin never bother me to doubt them. It was always in my list, and majority of people here I bet as well? Well, if not then try to root with these two. Anyway, going back to the OP claim, right this time alts are having their good run, they gradually increasing though, so, why think that they are having a hard time? 'Cause I don't see a thing for me to have such reason though. Anyway, I agree to the idea of buying during downtrend, and it is totally recommended anyway, however, people can't wait for the right time that's why they got bored and abandoned such great opportunity, what a waste.
