I wouldn't say that it's a detriment after all it's just a product placement at best and I don't think that it can affect the game in anyway and let's face it, even if these companies aren't allowed to do this, someday someone will find a loophole to promote their brands on sports and that's the truth, they'll always find a way. Another thing about this is the fact that with this brand placements, they're also funding the paychecks of the players in that team and making it function as a club or whatever organization it is, sadly we don't live in a utopia where someone can just ask for what they need and it's human nature to have more than his neighbor so it's a matter of practicality and reality that these advertisements are placed on the players' jerseys, the only way that we can stop this product and service placement is if we stop using their services or products totally so no matter how much they advertise and pay these players money to promote their brand, they would still be at a loss.

I hope people can realize that you can criticize and support someone at the same time, mentioning the issues you see that they have is a great way to identify and acknowledge the problem so it can be properly handled. criticism does not always mean that you are discouraging or mocking someone, it also shows the person you are criticising what improvement needs to be worked on, and from that, you can support them achieve those improvements.
But during their recovery or intervention, it's not really the right time to criticize someone that's trying their best to recover from their addiction sure it does work for some but do you want to risk on knowing whether it works on them or not when the alternative isn't to criticize at all and just give them all the love and support that they're going to need in their healing journey? I think that it's a matter of time before you can do that criticism part and in my opinion, that part only should happen when the recovering person permits you to do so and sometimes, what you think might be constructive criticism might not be for that person and the tone of your voice might also play a part on the reason why criticism isn't bad. Sometimes the people that are having problems don't really want solutions, they want someone to vent their emotions their problems and how they're dealing with it, if all you do when someone's telling you their problem is to give them solution instead of just hearing them out then you're never going to really help someone.
563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling games that gives you an exciting experience on: February 29, 2024, 03:50:01 AM
What is your favorite gambling game and what are the reasons that made you prefer it over the rest?
For me, it's mostly poker or slots but I enjoy the most and in terms of preference would be poker, I personally like to gamble when there's something that I can do besides depending on luck so I do have more excitement when it comes to playing poker, the thrill of having a really bad card but you knowing how to bluff and knowing that your opponent is having a hard time deducing whether you're bluffing them or not and the small movements that give away their move is something that I'm excited because it's difficult to find but the moment that you find it is the moment that you're the most ecstatic. Another reason why I prefer poker because of the excitement is that there's also the fact that the house has no edge on poker so that means that it's your own fault if you lose and that the casino won't get any money from you even if you lose.

How could you possibly launder money with cryptos?
Let me tell you how, you buy crypto with your dirty money[1], you can use a mule or smurf to split the bulk amount of crypto that you've bought from your dirty money with and those smurfs will register on a casino and put their crypto in their and depending on your instruction, the smurfs can play a part of that crypto and then they withdraw that money or they can just withdraw it after depositing I'm not sure about this part though but I think that's the reason why casinos are restricting people from withdrawing without playing or withdrawing without a KYC and then they might also use some mixer to further muddle their tracks of the laundering and there you can enjoy your "clean" money. I think I'm wrong with my process but if anyone will correct me, feel free to do so.

[1] You buy the crypto either with P2P online or physically, it depends on where the dirty money is but I believe that most of them do a P2P physically.
565  Economy / Economics / Re: China are back to mining Bitcoin. on: February 28, 2024, 06:29:12 AM
i even found an interesting article about the cryptocurrency industry in china: china never completely banned crypto. there it is explained that in fact what was conveyed by western news portals about china banning cryptocurrency is not completely true, the proof is that last year binance recorded that there was $90 billion in chinese crypto trade, that is quite a large amount. this proves that china is still interested in the crypto industry and this may also have an impact on the bitcoin and altcoin mining industry which may continue to grow in the future in china.
It's probably just the government (CCP) doing all of this trading, I think they've got a really huge amount of bitcoin hoard for a long time so it's no surprise that they're still trading despite the news that there's a ban in China or a crackdown there on private ownership of bitcoin. The Chinese market is definitely interested in the bitcoin market but I believe that there's only the government that does the trading, remember that China is a totalitarian government and bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that provides an individual freedom in finances and China don't want that, even if the Western media gets it wrong, it will almost always be that China is suppressing their people.

For me though, I don't think that they're totally unbanning mining in China because there's no way that China is going to let their people make a lot of money the easy way thru mining, they'll always willing to try and get their hands on the biggest piece of pie in a lot of aspects so it's not that difficult to think that China would exempt bitcoin mining to their attitude of take as much as possible.

The problem with your plea that everyone should make money with their phone is the fact that the Internet is full of scammers that are going to exploit the fact that you're going to find some way to make money online, everyone wants to make money so of course they're going to exploit that fact. It's also difficult to earn money using your phone, there's not a lot of them that will let you do that and even if there is, the rewards are pretty much peanuts that it's not even worth it to consider dealing with it, probably the best thing that you can do is to stop using your phone for social media or maybe reduce your time in it and improve upon some skills that you've got or learn something and make money out of those skills if you can so you don't rely too much on easy money.

Naku! Mawawala na credibilidad nya as influencer kung ganyan yung nangyari sa kanya. Parang nakikita ko nga din na hugas kamay para abswelto kasi nga self proclaimed expert sya about investment eh lalo na sa crypto napapanuod ko pa mga video interviews nya dati tapos nahuhulog din pala sa ganyang scam diba? Parang something fishy naman kung ganun.
Nakakatawa nga na meron siyang kredibilidad sa una pa lang eh, mantakin mo nanghihikayat siya ng iba na mag-invest eh hindi naman siya licensed na financial advisor tapos influencer pa, kelan pa naging credible na source ng trading information yung mga influencer? Ang goal nila ay mahikayat lang kayo at makakuha ng pera mula sayo o di naman kaya ay mabenta nila yung mga pinopromote nilang produkto. Hindi naman din kasi immune yung mga ganyan sa scam, tandaan natin na ang mga scam ay nag-iimprove din kasabay ng technology kaya kung hindi ka updated sa mga bagong paraan kung pano ka nila niloloko ay tiyak na tataas tsansa mo na mabiktima talaga, naiisip ko sa ganyan din ay nasilaw sila sa ROI o pangako na kita at tubo sa investment namin kaya pumalag na sila sa investment tapos smooth talker din siguro yung scammer at ayun, disaster talaga.

Thank you sa recommendation na exchange na gagamitin, matagal ko na din naririnig yang Bybit at OKX bilang alternatibo na exchange at salamat sa pagsabi na pareho lang siya sa Binance pagdating sa P2P dahil yan lang talaga yung hinahanap ko, tagal ko na din nagtatanong sa iba ng mga katulad ng Binance and I think dyan na din ako. So long Binance, sana pwede ka pa din gamitin sa tulong ng VPN.
569  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Crypto Vending Machine on: February 28, 2024, 03:27:20 AM
Weird how Bitcoin Cash(BCH) ang pinili as currency? Like, wala na ata akong kilalang kahit isang tao na may hinohold na BCH. Kung ang criticism is ang fees ng BTC, then at least use USDT/USDC through Tron/Solana/etc siguro, mas may sense pa. If I were to guess sponsored by Bitcoin.com(which is BCH-centric) ito.
Kaya nga eh, at ang pagkakaalam ko ay wala naman atang worth yung BCH. Ang naiimagine ko lang na gagamit ng machine na 'to sigurado yung mga new generation ng crypto investors, yung mga walang pakialam sa privacy nila at ang tingin nila ay cool yung gumagamit nito. Sana nga gawaan nila ng option na may USDT o kaya ay may iba pang crypto na available kasi kapag hindi nila ginawa yun, sigurado akong may ibang gagawa nung ganun na vending machine na may feature.
570  Economy / Economics / Re: Recession soon? on: February 27, 2024, 10:15:36 AM
These lay offs are more than just budgeting for the company, that's a joke in my opinion, what? They can't afford to do an upkeep the payment for their employees but the board is consistently paid in billions of dollars? I don't think that's because of the recession, for me, I feel like that's the biggest reason for the lay offs, the economy is bad and the higher ups don't want to lose a cent of their salary to shoulder the burden so they can keep their employees and another reason is that some of these companies that are laying off are probably finding ways to outsource the work to other people that they can pay them much more cheaper or if it's a tech company, they've got the cutting edge AI ready to replace the workers.
571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wasting your time if you take extra precautions while using monero? on: February 27, 2024, 09:16:51 AM
Isn't Monero already a privacy coin? So why the need for a mixer to do some hiding? I think that you're being scammed here OP when you use a Monero mixer, there's a lot of people out there that wants your money because they can steal it without you ever getting it back, stay safe out there. Follow what @batang_bitcoin is suggesting you to do, nothing bad comes when you're asking the right questions on the right places.
572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is it still risky to Invest into Altcoin now? on: February 27, 2024, 08:01:53 AM
It still is, in fact, all kinds of investments will always be risky no matter what, I'm pretty sure that risk is never going away when it comes investment and the thing that I believe everyone should do if they can't stop investing in altcoin is for them to be doing research on what altcoin they're going to be investing first before doing the actual investing, you're better off knowing what the altcoin promises to do and learn about the development team behind it and what's their vision for that altcoin, if they somehow pass those criterias that I've mentioned then you can finally consider them as a good altcoin to invest into but remember altcoins are a really risky investment and even if they feel like they're going to grow in value, remember that it's not 95% of the case.
573  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: AppleCoin on: February 27, 2024, 07:16:21 AM
No one knows about that coin here, also it's a generic name and I don't think that it's going to be a good coin to invest into. Are you planning to invest in it or you're curious what it is?  I've tried to check it on Coinmarketcap and it's not showing me anything, only an error which is a bad thing if you ask me. I suggest what @Volimack suggested, try other crypto to invest into that's more trusted and has some reliability like ETH and BNB, make sure to only invest what you can afford to lose though, you don't want to be waiting for them to go back up again or crying over losing half of your investment because it didn't go your way.

Best stick to doing some more research OP, Applecoin doesn't have any purpose or use case, don't risk it. You're likely not going to see any profit in it, if they make you ask questions like these, that can only mean that they're not that trustworthy.

You've got Royse's permission to take the job, just do it but if you're a moral man then it shouldn't be a no brainer for you to just reject the work, your name is OddJobsForBitcoin, why are you complaining when "odd jobs" are coming to you? At the end of the day, you just made something, you didn't support the ideology behind the message? Haters will continue on hating and Royse knows that so you can rest easy that you're not doing anything wrong.
575  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USAF airman Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire protesting US backed genocide on: February 27, 2024, 04:00:30 AM
I don't deny that there's a genocide happening there, but what makes me wonder is how did this guy get into the military? He's a soldier of his own free will, so he had to shoot his rifle, do the drill, train hand to hand combat, throw grenades, operate vehicles. He knew that it's done to kill people. Soldiers kill, that's their job. A baker bakes, a nurse nurses, a soldier shoot people, throws bombs on their houses and shells them with artillery. 

We see a man who was trained to kill, attempt to kill himself over the fact that other soldiers in a far away country also kill people... What if they made him shoot someone? Would his kill himself right after?

I feel like this was completely unnecessary and will only hurt him because the Israelis couldn't care less about a foreigner killing himself.
That's because he was brainwashed as a kid that when he gets into military that they're groomed to be called the good guys which they'll only see that they're not. As much as you've got free will as you'd like to say, training that's drilled to your bone will almost always lead you to override what makes sense to you. In regards to shooting someone and being on the battlefield, I believe that what's going through your mind there is "don't get yourself killed" so they've got no choice, either kill or be killed.

I wouldn't say it's unnecessary for the sake of the protest but in my opinion, it's the wrong timing for him to do this self-immolation protest, if he did this when the time is right, it would have had more impact. Look at Thich Quang Duc, he did it at the right moment and people listened finally.

I'm doozy reading but I get what you're trying to solve and you're selling and I'm on board with that but @un_rank actually raises a really good question, how sustainable it is? We all know how popular free money is right? I think that this one will attract a lot of people so you need to tell us how you're going to fund your project consistently and with emphasis to consistency, would you be able to keep this for long because when people get a taste of this, they're probably going to come back for more and more. You'll also need to deal with freebie abusers as they're definitely going to want this and will try to make sure that they're getting the biggest as much as possible.

Only a matter of time before bitcoin topples the other and brings them 1 place below bitcoin, I'm excited to see that happen and I do hope that we'll see that soon because there's no way it can never happen. Is this like the latest data though? Because if it's not then that means bitcoin is either don't have to take a lot of effort to move to 5th or 4th place. Man, hopefully this will ignite something inside a lot of bitcoin hodlers out there, you know, that there's future in bitcoin and that if they just stick with it, they'll eventually get to where they want to be in their bitcoin journey.
578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Effortless BTC Distribution to 200+ Addresses with Cointool.app on: February 26, 2024, 03:59:50 AM
Are you looking for a hassle-free way to distribute BTC to multiple addresses in a single transaction? Look no further! Cointool.app offers a powerful and user-friendly BTC bulk sender tool that allows you to effortlessly send BTC to over 200 addresses in just one transaction.
I am not criticizing but curious to ask. With Electrum I can easily do mass payment. Even today I made a transaction with over 100 output addresses. Why would I move to your app when I have such feature already without any additional cost?

It's easy. You can do the job in your browser with the plug-in wallet.
But is this more convenient compared to Electrum though? That's the question that's going to need an answer because if not then what's the point right? Another thing that needs to be addressed is that we also need to be making sure that your product is open source because it's a good idea that we know what's in back end right?
579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Monastery My Opinion on: February 26, 2024, 02:04:19 AM
Bitcoin monastery would have sounded nice if bitcoin isn't a decentralized coin. We should not be talking about monastery in an open source decentralized coin. In a pure monastery system, there's a high concentrated, esteemed and almighty head which controls everything in the system. Who will assume this almighty status, since Satoshi isn't around. The foundation of bitcoin is laid pure on codes (C++) and it's maintenance is in the hands of the people and not a group of monks. So, can we discuss the bitcoin ETF and other related news and forget this monastery of a thing?
That depends on where you're standing though, if you don't see the opportunity that you can utilize "bitcoin monasteries" which means that you haven't heard of megachurches, they're a religious organization that's basically acting on behalf of God but not really, they're just there to make money out of poor suckers that will go to their churches. This idea of bitcoin monastery where the people praise and worship bitcoin or Satoshi is going to be a really profitable thing for many aspiring megachurch pastors and I don't really love the idea that there's going to be some religion formed that's related to bitcoin, I can almost always see that there's bound to be some people that are going to be losing their savings to these when this becomes a thing, don't give megachurch pastors ideas, they're already not paying taxes for the tithes now they're going to multiply their money even more.
