I think that this is Bitcoin addiction thru gambling and trading.
Again, Bitcoin is being used again so people are getting addicted to it.

I don't know how is this possible though and what is the progress of this already?? It has been 2 years but still no update on it.
6062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CAN WE STILL GET THE 2017 BULL IN THIS 2020? on: August 28, 2020, 01:38:46 PM
Maybe you are one of the many newbie investors out there who read some articles coming from the famous news sites and you are expecting that what are saying is true and will happen Cheesy.

My opinion with this is that, the 2017 scenario will not happen this 2020. Probably in 1-2 years time is my estimated time frame before we reach a new ATH. That is quite short if I will see it but I just based it on the past movement of Bitcoin after the past 2 halvings in 2012 and 2016.

Threads like this will continue whether if Bitcoin will go up or Bitcoin will go down Cheesy.
6063  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest for quick gains only on: August 28, 2020, 01:27:39 PM
I'm not investing into new projects already.
There are so many coins that are there for a long time already. Why bother to invest into these coins.

Investing for quick gains?? You should just do normal trading then or margin trading at least since you can earn profit there quicker than just investing and holding.
The DeFi hype is real already and I will say it again, what happened in ICO 2 years ago where there was a lot of hype but slowly declining because of the scams that happened will also happen into this. I'm 100% sure of that.
6064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: August 28, 2020, 01:19:03 PM

Anyway, since the decision to resume the NBA game, does the bucks and orlando had started already? It was supposed to be these team match before the postpone?

Orlando vs Bucks will play tomorrow based on schedule, I don't see the word "postponed", so we can assume that finally the game 5 will be played and Orlando can rest if they lose against the Bucks in this game.  Grin
Games will resume tomorrow after the 2 days of not playing the games as per report.

Well, I know how the players are feeling at that time especially those who are at risk right now. We know how huge NBA is and I hope that these shooting incidents of these black people will be stopped at one moment or at least now after the recent incident that happened.

Bettors will be happy again though that the games will resume Cheesy

This one is a better proposal, it's likely that the bubble will be a success as we might not see players violating the rules as they are going outside the bubble. Hopefully any of these proposals  will be realized as I know everyone can't wait to see the PBA season to resume.

As per report - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/united-arab-emirates/

Dubai only has 68,511 cases while 59,472 cases have already recovered.
I also watched a youtube video regarding the possible place of the PBA bubble and Dubai is the first option for this.

Although this is a good venue because they only have low cases and their recoveries is high, the expenses is quite high too. That includes the healthcare, transportation, hotel expenses and the foods of all of the players. If this will continue, they must've sponsors to at least shoulder the expenses.

I also saw that some of the options of the PBA bubble are Quezon, Pampanga, Palawan, Baguio, Tagaytay and some other more (can't remember some Cheesy).
6066  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid 19 shows how weak People are in the it mind on: August 28, 2020, 12:42:07 PM
We have now more Opportunities then ever before!
I think this covid 19 is good time.
The only opportunity that I see right now is to invest long term in different assets like Bitcoin, Gold and Silver. Investing in the stock market for mid to long term would be good too.

I have invested most of my money right now in the stock market since most of the stocks here in our country is down by almost half of its ATH which is for me a good opportunity to buy for long term since things like this always happen. Stocks go down and will go up after a few years.

Invested in Bitcoin and Ethereum too for long term.
6067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chris Larsen, Chair Of Ripple, Argues China Can Reverse Bitcoin Transactions on: August 28, 2020, 12:35:58 PM
2 things.

1. This is more of a politics news and its either they are destroying the reputation of both China and Bitcoin where they (Ripple foundation) can't do it since their coin is a shitcoin for others.
2. Just a random opinion coming from a not that knowledgeable person from the crypto world.

If you are long enough and you know how crypto works especially Bitcoin, we know already that transactions are irreversible right. I don't believe with this shitty opinion coming from him and I don't support their shitcoin too at all Cheesy.

The DeFi hype for me is almost the same as the ICO hype that happened 2-3 years ago and I expect for the same outcome.

There will be hype in DeFi's and as many new projects are going to it, scammers will take the opportunity to scam people thru launching new DeFi projects and there will be time that the success rate of these new projects will decline over time.

Poor investors who are easily get attracted to these new DeFi projects. Regarding to your question though. I don't think that it is time to call people or it is a good thing for the people to be called out when it comes to investing. If they are interested they will come and vice versa.
6069  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STC the first educational token on: August 27, 2020, 01:22:31 AM
Another shitcoin being shilled by another shitty user and he created a shitty thread just to shill this shitcoin that he is holding.

Also take note that this isn't the first shitcoin that is related to education. There is one coin called ODEM that is related too to education in case you don't know. It is on coinmarketcap too so try to search it. I don't want to say stop in shilling this shitcoin. Just do your best in shilling it you shitty user Tongue
6070  Economy / Economics / Re: Our country was called Province of China. on: August 27, 2020, 01:15:51 AM
Days before the Presidential Spokesperson share the president's thoughts about this incident, I predicted already what they will say and it is true Cheesy.
"To me that’s nonsense. We should not be paying any attention to that" this is what he said: =https://mb.com.ph/2020/08/20/ph-a-province-of-china-nonsense-says-roque/LINK (Warning not english).

We mustn't get any attention to these kind of shitty things being done by the Chinese to us. We know already that we aren't a province of China. They can get other countries like Hongkong and even Taiwan but not PH.
6071  Economy / Economics / Re: I have discovered Something about covid 19 on: August 26, 2020, 01:16:08 PM
Covid19 is going to save the economy by killing lots of people that's for sure.

So do you think that overpopulation is the main problem in every part of the world?

Look at China, they have a strong and stable economy even if they have the largest population globally, I'm not saying that their system is good, but they are just taking advantage of overpopulation to strengthen their labors and manufacturing. Overpopulation is not the problem they just know how to adapt depending on the situation.
Resources are limited, people are increasing day by day. The born to died ratio is always in favor of the born. People who are born every second globally is higher than the people who are dying so in short, overpopulation is happening.

I still remember the prediction of Stephen Hawking regarding the overpopulated Earth. One thing more is China isn't the same as the other countries. Yes they have a strong economy right now because they know how to handle it but look at India. One of the most over populated country but they aren't as strong as China.

In order for the world to balance, things like this must happen in order for the economy to be saved. Like I said, resources is limited in the world so we need events like this for the economy to be saved. Its hard to think but that is the truth in this cruel world Smiley.
6072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When Bitcoin Maximalists are Promoting/Shilling an Altcoin on: August 26, 2020, 01:06:14 PM
This just shows how powerful money is Cheesy. Even the most popular crypto enthusiasts are bowing down to these kind of shits.
They will do anything just for the money. They will shill/advertise a shitcoin just for the sake of money.

I remember when Roger Ver was a member of a project and the tokensale reached the hard cap easily (that was around 2017-2018 though).
At that time investors are dumber than they are right now and I think that nothing will fall into this kind of bullshit that they are doing especially when there are some people who are against this shitcoin.

There is nothing wrong with what they are doing though since you aren't sued for criminal cases in shilling a new project. In the end, it will depend on the investors if they will invest on it or not. These shillers are pure hypocrite and f*ck them all.
6073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: when will cryptocurrency go mainstream? on: August 26, 2020, 12:56:03 PM
If we are comparing fiat currency with cryptocurrency in terms of it going to the mainstream, fiat is way being used by people compare to crypto.

Although cryptocurrency isn't that popular in some countries as of this moment or I should say that most of the people still don't use it, we are heading to a time where cryptocurrency is going mainstream and that is 100% sure. People are slowly using it. Adoption is going higher at a slow pace though but still there is an increase of users of crypto annually. I know that there will be a time that crypto will go mainstream. Smiley
6074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Philippines SEC warns against crypto investment. on: August 26, 2020, 12:51:12 PM
Not actually banning but warning those people.

There are a lot of investing scams happening in our country and people are believing in such too good to be true schemes by the scammers. One of which is this Bitcoin Revolution that became popular for a while. In their endorsements, they are using popular artists of the country including Manny Pacquiao which is not true.

https://pia.gov.ph/press-releases/releases/1045466

People who fall for bitcoin revolution deserve it. You can't feel sorry for these people. If you burn yourself on a hot pot and then touch it again right away who is at fault?

I don't think they deserve it.

It is true that they fall to their schemes, it is true that they are lacking that "common sense" since they are not aware what that project is but they don't deserve to be scammed that is why we should help these people, in a way to inform them about these scams happening right now especially related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I prevented my family from three scams, one of them is this Bitcoin Revolution.
I hate to say this but in order for these investors to be helped, they must experience getting scammed.

Call me toxic or anything I'll accept it but in our country, people are very ignorant and the only thing that is on their mind is the money that they can get if they invest into a particular company. They aren't thinking whether this can be a scam or not. They aren't doing any kind of research.

I saw one post regarding FORSAGE saying that they are owning Ethereum and those investors are very happy to hear it. For those investors, they don't know anything about Ethereum since the only thing that is on their mind is the fact that if they invested on the company, they will get profits from it. This is realtalk. People here in our country are too dumb when it comes to investing in different companies. They don't know which is a ponzi scheme or not. They are easily attracted by the huge profits that they can get that is why scammers choose PH as a place to scam people.

1. Terrance Watanabe - Lost $127 million
Quote
Terry Watanabe said he bet more than $825 million, losing $127 million in Caesars Palace and The Rio casinos in 2007.
He was said to lose for about $5 million a day playing 24 hourse in casinos and with this, he was burried to dept. IMO, it impacts his health allot with the lifestyle he lived, that he got a cancer. As a gambler, we should take good care of ourselves and spend a most of our time than gambling. Money isn't always the solution for happiness, perhaps, bonding with our family is better and building memories with them are the treasure that we can keep forever.
This is just a proof that life is short and gambling can ruin your life FOREVER.

I can't imagine this huge money that he lost in a casino and what's worse is some of the money he lost came from debt so aside from losses, he must pay these debts and his losses impacted his life a lot that his health is greatly affected too. This is the reason why I don't spend too much time and money in gambling. My future is more precious than the money that I can get in gambling Smiley.
6076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 50% of bitcoins from Twitter hack have been sent through mixers on: August 26, 2020, 12:08:24 AM
Not surprising already knowing that these Bitcoins came from the Twitter hacking incident.

IIRC, its a teenager that has been accused of this incident. Mixers are the go-to site of these hackers when they are successful in hacking sites, exchanges etc. Can't blame these mixers though since they are just tools that the hackers are using when they want to transfer the funds.

What's surprising is they didn't transfer 100% of the total amount thru Mixers or I should say that 2.8% of the total amount has been transferred without using of Mixers.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why Bitcoin is at around $11,100 already right Cheesy. Good for him as he manage to hold his coins despite of Bitcoin going down twice to at around $4,000 level.

Who said that bitcoin is no longer profitable?  Smiley
F*ck those people who are saying that Bitcoin isn't profitable anymore Cheesy.
I knew it already that Bitcoin is profitable short, mid and long term. It will just depend on the skills you got. You good at trading then you can get profit short-mid term and if you are just an investors you can get profit mid to long term Cheesy.
6078  Economy / Economics / Re: Philippines will drop as a Country, Economy on its worst! on: August 25, 2020, 01:02:20 PM
We have to try to prevent corruption in every sector including healthcare. Only a government of good governance can alleviate the plight of its citizens in the Philippines.

The Philhealth issue is one big corruption news right now, imagine billions of pesos are wasted, because of the wrong system of implementation
it's heartless to rob a government agency in this time of pandemic, those involved should be prosecuted the head of the health sector the secretary should resigned out of decency but he's hanging on like a leech.
I'm not affected by the Philhealth issue since I'm not a contributor of it but I know the feeling of those many people who are working hard and their salary is being deducted every month or twice a month by this contributions. There are some of my relatives who are affected with this incident but like most of the contributors, they have nothing else to do but to accept it since they don't have the power.

Death Penalty is being pushed by some senators in our country just to stop this corruptions but I doubt that it will happen because for sure the Human Rights Group (for me a shit groups) will oppose on it again. I hate to say this but our country is doomed with different events that are happening.

COVID19, Philhealth Issue, the recent bombings and here is the opposition team just saying numerous shitty words to the President. Instead of helping him, they are opposing to every decisions of the government. What can I do but to remain silent since I don't have the power. Ranting in social media?? Just a waste of time Cheesy.
6079  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scam victims on: August 25, 2020, 12:56:12 PM
Do you know of any resources to help victims of crypto scams recover their losses?

I was a victim of one made by coinkast.io where they had me pay more money to release my funds and then they kept adding additional fees... so basically I lost $100k+ and I need to recover it someone especially since much of that were loans I took out.
Little to no chance that your money will get back.
I feel sorry for your lost. That money isn't a joke. $100,000 is a huge money seriously especially for me Cheesy.

What's worse is some of it are loans that you need to do just to get the money in that site but it turned out to be a scam site. Don't expect too much since it is very hard to track scams like this but maybe somebody can help you in any way possible.

You want a piece of advice from us. Here is what I can give to you.
Don't ask for any advice here because we can say anything we want. We can say trolls to you and some lies.

If you believed in our advice and unfortunately it didn't go your way, who will be blamed to?? Better to do it yourself. Don't ask here. Invest if you want to invest. Research the coin and decide whether it is good time to invest on it or not.
