I think its the first time I'm gonna do an answer on the OP what if but the question isn't hard to answer. As a good person, you must avoid bad stuff which might hurt other's people. That's why if I dont like any post or response here in forum I just dont figt back with rude answers. Also, I believe I did many good doings like helping other people even though I didn't know them well.

I also did some contest last Holiday seasons to share my blessing to other people. Doing good things as human fellow isnt hard its up to you how you can show other's your ways to do it.

I love lottery we have our own lottery game too in our country and same like the one you mentioned. We will pick digits of number from certain group then will bet, normally the prizes are big also but the combination of the number needed is quite hard to guess its really a lucky game.

A kind of gambling I really like cause its easy to do and really will win using your luck and charisma.

There is no such thing as perfect consensus to fixed all blockchain flaws. If there is I think people already supported and used that. So far PoW for me is the best mechanism though PoS has a lighter usage which is why Eth consider this to use. Anyway, Ian Balina is a bit of a shiller but I'm impress many got hook up with him with his predicting tweets. But for technical reason definitely not a good statement.

The market cap of btc as of this date is $130.17B while ethereum is $13.94B that is roughly 10x difference. I'm not sure whether Balina suddenly got an offer from ethereum to shill them cause before he was demanding an investigation about them. Well his quite famous but I smell something fishy.



Ethereum has a good chance of increasing its market cap but isn't it too early to say this? Bitcoin upcoming halving can also give an effect on its stance on market but ethereum transferring to POS blockchain could also do the same.


Here is the discussion on Twitter about Ian Balina's tweet

When I asked my Mom what gift you wanted to have from me this Christmas?  Then I was shocked cause the only thing he says is come Home soon and just treat us here.

Cause I'm working overseas so I am technically called OFW on our country's alias for those who work far or outside our own Country.

Wish approved cause I'm coming back to Philippines this 2nd week of January so, I will grant her wish more than what she asked for.

2019 was a blast for me. Meet some cool guy, earned some decent tokens and also increase my rank here from member to Sr. member. That was a very happy 2019 for me and hoping a fruitful one also for 2020.

MY 2020 GOALS

• To increase my btc, eth, xrp and bnb assets. My prime holdings.
• To become Legendary rank soon but need to be Hero first and still needed 100+ merits. Hoping can achieve this by 2020.
• To learn technicalities of trading this is my one wish I think if happen then will surely help me in the future.
• To increase my subscribers on my telegram channel cause Im advocating good altcoin bounty and hope I help much more. At least 2000followers.
• To accomplish abovementioned goals by 2020

Quote of the day:
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" - Theodore Roosevelt

I did also received this token. I would not considered myself lucky for receiving it cause I'm a guy that dont want to collect display tokens. I tried sending it before knowing its locked. But when the transaction failed, I already know.

It seems they given you token as airdrop but clearly dont want you to dump it. Very nice approach but non sense.

Agree mate.

If 2019 was a bad year for some of us then reset all those things and move on or yet learn from it and avoid making mistake again as much as possible.

Everyone has their own achievement and you almost near being Legendary Rank.  Congratulations, I see you have a lots of offers n different projects and blessing will arrive more as you did a splendid job. Hope everyone has also same opportunity  Maybe next time.

Happy New Year.

Hello @carlisle1 I appreciate that you brought it up. Rest assured I will review the said post and see what I can do. But for the game prizes I think it's not up to me to decide whether we could divert it directly for the said cause since they already win it. Maybe we can ask them also here but I' cant assure you that. So far we already have four winners and waiting for the last one to be complete but if every participants who won in the previous games will agree I dont mind giving all prizes to the guy who needed it most.

Regarding the final game, we will still play it and better for the winner to decide about his prize.

Let's wait for their feedback. Thank you again for opening this up.

Napakadami kong pagkakamali na nagawa nung nagstart ako ng crypto adventure ko well I guess lahat naman siguro. Usong uso kasi ang airdrop dati mid 2017 at talaga naman ang lalaki ng bigayan ng tokens. What I did was hokding it until the bull run season slowly fades and hanggang sa mawalan ng value mga tokens ko. Anyway past is past ika nga. What I do improve is being active here on forum and likewise choose a legit project as possible.

Nakakapagod sumali sa mga giveaway ng hindi nagreresearch at banat lang ng banat. Marahil ay mauubos lang ang oras mo at panahon. I'm just hoping for the next year I will improved my skills especially on trading and mas lalo pang makahelp sa mga kapwa Filipino members natin here.

Happy New Year guys and job well done OP for starting this thread with admitting our mistakes which I believe na mababago natin ngayong darating na 2020.
