I think you should target the interest of the people nowadays. Why don't you relate your video about bitcoin to the generation right now?

People are into the use of technology right now, most of the people are gamers. If you relate bitcoin into a gaming industry, I think this will somehow become effective.

I just don't really want people to become ignorant about how beneficial and advantageous this bitcoin is. Your video is most likely become a tool for bitcoin adoption and can effect the market heavily, hoping that you finished your video with passion and goal. Just make it understandable and explanatory so that they know how bitcoin works and affect an investor.

I enjoyed reading this thread that you've made and I learned a lot from this and it somehow changes my perception towards gambling.

  • In the past, the Catholic and Judaic priests supported gambling. Source
Hopefully until now, Catholics are not against about gambling and they still support it.

  • The potential for Royal Flush (poker) is 1 in 649,740. Source
So it means that you are very lucky enough to have this card in your hand during your poker game, that's really a super small chance.

  • Tesla became a gambling addict, lost all his tuition money, dropped out of school and suffered a nervous breakdown. Source
But still he succeeded in life, that's the most important thing.

He was dropped out due to gambling addiction and not because he is dumb, so that doesn't mean that you don't have any opportunity to change.

  • A wife bought a scratch-off lottery ticket to prove a point to her husband that it was a waste of money, but it ended up winning her $1 million. Source
This is the unique and embarrassing, yet lucky accident that they had, it ended up making them rich in just a snap.

Nah, I don't think so. Only the Philippines is the country China can bully and it's so embarassing. They are disgracing us in our own land without even fighting back and it s*cks! And what I hate the lost is that our government only doing gentle response on all of the issues probably because they don't want a conflict but at what cost? They continue abusing us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not promoting war against them because I don't want it either. Obviously, we're on the losing side. But I just hope we can also do like what Vietnam (take this as reference) did, they stand for their rights and not afraid to resist despite of knowing that they're a third world country as well Sad.

We can't really fight against China if our President is not accountable about his position in the government.

You will see in his stance that he has nothing to do about this issue, he have stated before that he don't want to hurt the feelings of China which is really disrespectful to us, his countrymen. People really did a huge mistake electing him as a president, he is not intelligent and wise enough to handle this kind of issue, no one is expecting that but that's not an excuse.

That's the reason why he stopped the connection between Philippines and America and rely on China which is really focusing on its land expansion and this issue is the proof for it.
724  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto cards on: August 21, 2020, 02:53:48 PM
There are very few debit card startups who are actually working, there have been tons and tons of projects trying to do exactly this. Most of them failed casue of different reasons, some where scams others where rejected by VISA network. Also all the debit card who work with crypto are subject to heavy AML regualtions which can be irratating.

Scams are very vulnerable in these kind of projects that they are planning to make when it is related to money, specifically cryptocurrencies. Heavy AML regulations are irritating but it can somehow lessen the presence of criminals who are just benefiting other people's money. Just think about AML as a positive thing and don't get irritated or annoyed to it.

Regulations are really necessary when there's a money involved.

Hopefully, more debit card startups should function properly and help other people who prefers crypto cards.

You need to satisfy your curiosity to understand how things work. Sometimes you need to engage with the things that you are scared of, or the things that you have no idea about. You will not learn without facing your ignorance and fear about something specifically in cryptocurrency investments.

You need to deal with the reality that scammers and hackers are existing so you need to be aware of it to protect yourselves becoming their victim.

It is easy to determine a scams, their schemes are very sketchy and suspicious if you found them existing randomly in a form of ads or links that are doubtful.
726  Economy / Economics / Re: Are people losing faith from centralized organizations? on: August 20, 2020, 05:52:54 AM
There must be a reason, maybe it is because of our current situation or anything else,

In our country, people start to lose their faith in banks due to a lot of issues we encounter. A lot of people are losing their funds without knowing the reason, there are so many issues that we face that people started to stop using banks.

Probably, corrupt government officials are also the reason why people holding their own money instead of saving it into a bank. As you can see, the economy is really crashing and the only thing that we can do is to manage and budget our money to our needs. If we hold and have a full control of our money then I can say that it is much easier for us to sustain our needs. Banking is not really necessary nowadays especially that they have an increasing fees. Businesses are not in a good state, some of them are bankrupted and having a hard time to recover and I think that centralized organizations are not the only way where we can improve and secure our financial needs.
727  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine arrests gang who ran 20 crypto-exchanges and laundered money for ransomw on: August 20, 2020, 05:21:58 AM
If we assume that everything in the article is correct, then this is good news - and it is also good news that there are still quite clumsy hackers who manage to reach tens of millions of dollars and do not know how to properly protect their identity. Instead of enjoying in some exotic destination far from the reach of any justice, as we can see in the photo in the article, these three geniuses kissed the floor in their luxurious apartment.

That is their own mistake, their own fault to become detected and arrested by the authorities. Hackers are not perfect, they are smart in some point but there's no way that they are not making mistakes when it comes to making crimes like this. Even those huge scammers are getting punished by the law, just like what they've said, "No one is above the law". All of us should be responsible with our accounts and assets to prevent being a victim of these scams. Ukraine government should be proud of themselves because it is not really not that easy to find scammers due to their anonymity but as people are getting aware and intelligent when it comes to these schemes, scammers are getting caught easily.
728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VR online casino games take gambling to the new level 🚀 on: August 19, 2020, 01:59:17 PM
* What are the advantages & disadvantages of VR online casino games?

One of its advantage is that you will release all your urge into gambling and you will feel satisfied about the feeling of playing with money again.

The disadvantages is that, once you are addicted to it, there's a possibility that you will experience stress again after you lose in a certain game.

VR online casino is much lesser in hassle because of it is easy to access and you don't need to travel or go outside just to play. That's one of the good features of online gambling, easy to access, you just need internet and you just need devices that will help you access the casino platform.
729  Economy / Economics / Re: Second COVID-19 wave is coming...Infinite loop? on: August 19, 2020, 01:28:31 PM
Even in China, they can't eliminate the virus 100% because of the people who are violating the rules again.
As I've checked their covid-19 cases in their country via Wikipedia, they reached less than 100 active cases in April or May. But right now, they have almost 600 active cases, I think that's the second wave that they are experiencing. They go back to normal even if there's still a risk of getting the disease in their country.
Based on my observations, I think this Covid-19 will not be eliminated perfectly, this has a lot of potential to become a normal disease just like HIV, Ebola, Malaria, and etc.
730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What has bitcoin done for you? on: August 19, 2020, 07:34:53 AM
In terms of an individual, bitcoin made me understand businesses and investments. It made me understand how hard-work pays off, and how a person can improve himself by patience and effort. Bitcoin is not that easy to manipulate and hold, but you need to deal with the risks in order to make it profitable for you. Learning more about it and trusting bitcoin will make you more courageous and dominant in the market. Bitcoin changed me, my mindset, my perspective when it comes on the reality of life. That there's always something that will keep you survive this reality, and there's an opportunity that is life changing. Huge credit for Satoshi Nakamoto, it is not important where is he right now, but I believed that he succeeded on making bitcoin, and it's not yet in its full potential.

For scammers, it's never too late, start somewhere and be sure that  you've got a lot of helping hands here. Get yourself a some models, study them, get motivated and inspired and your sure to improve in every aspect of your finance and life. Put in work!
Stay safe

This part I quoted where you give scammers a good advice of what they can do for a better life you be another heading on this post. So that scammers can easily find an advice that could make them change to live a better life. Other than killing people with scams.


This should be really the mindset that we should worked for, helping ourselves grow with bringing harm to other people.

Scammers are really increasing by choice because people are seeing it very profitable for them when in reality it is not. They just make other people suffer from losses and anxiety, they can cause huge effect into people's mental health so it should be eliminated. Instead of scamming people, why don't you let yourself become more effective in investments so that it will naturally make you profitable and productive, because scams are only temporary.
732  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Germany the NEW World’s Crypto Superpower on: August 18, 2020, 05:22:08 AM
This is another great news for adoption, I hope Germany becomes successful on implementing this so that other countries can start joining the crypto space. The key is to make it easy for everyone to understand and use this technology, this is similar to Symbol from NEM's seamless API integration which allowed the Lithuanian government to develop their own coin.

I also read about Lithuanian president send bitcoin as a gift to Estonian president, and there's a thread here in this forum about it.

Germany is really a supportive country when it comes to cryptocurrency and their utilization and regulation of coins in their country is very efficient and effective. Hoping that some other countries will also see the importance of bitcoin in the economy, even though it is volatile. But this engagement in this kind of technology is really a good sign of development.
733  Economy / Economics / Re: Bangladesh Government Comparing Gaming with Gambling and Cryptocurrency on: August 17, 2020, 05:30:49 AM
This is how regulation looks like if the regulators are not well-informed or, worse, misinformed of certain aspects of that which they are regulating. This is a perfect example of Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO) in the hard world.

The Bangladesh Bank must have been fed wrong information specifically about gaming sites such as Steam and Blizzard for coming up with such a ridiculous policy.

Misinformation can really destroy a lot of opportunity especially when it comes to businesses. Bangladesh Government should take away their ignorance towards cryptocurrency, gaming, and gambling, and know the distinction between the three. This can really limit their economy to grow more and adapt on what is the use of digital currency. Steam are a huge third party platform that is using by those gamers and this is probably a huge loss for Bangladesh. I must say that they have a lot of work to do, such as researches and statistics so that they will know what they lack of.
734  Economy / Economics / Re: Lithuania President gifted crypto to Estonian President. on: August 17, 2020, 04:45:00 AM
This kind of news should be broadcast in public so people will know that bitcoin is a good asset.

An open minded leader is a key to success, if he understands us, those people who are using cryptocurrency, then this can bring a huge advantage in the future. This is a positive action and mindset that a leader should have, it will probably make a good reputation for bitcoin although it has really a good advantages and benefits to the people.

Proper manipulation, adoption, and utilization can increase and widen our community so always promote and support it in everyday lives.
735  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be carefull Newbies! Fake exchange promocodes scams on: August 17, 2020, 03:39:00 AM
I have recently signed up on the trust(lol)coin exchange because someone here was saying there was a promocode for a few free satoshis, I redeemed the code and tried to withdraw, it said I had to play atleast one roulette game before i can, which is what I did, and it said I had to deposit 0.016 to prevent abuse from the promo code. This is obviously a Scam!

Be carefull Newbies! don't fall for this crap!

Obviously, that's a scam. There's no one who will ask a money for you and they say that they will give you free coins, that's very suspicious. There are a lot of options to earn money and that schemes will only give you losses so be careful about the scams that you are seeing in some platforms. We should be mindful about our assets and never trust easily on what we are seeing free coins, free giveaways, and etc., online. Don't root for an easy money, don't look for an easy money, it is much better to work on yourself and not rely on those fake schemes that scammers are using to lure people for a victim to deposit a certain amount of coin to their account. In order to fight those scams, bitcoin investors should be knowledgeable and aware about them so that there will be no more person that will become their victim next time.
736  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to become a millionaire,here is the secret formula on: August 16, 2020, 01:17:08 PM
I doubt that, there's no easy money in this world if you don't work on it.
Unless you are born with a famous popularity parents or relatives.
With that, you can live with a happy life even if you don't work for it. Money will just come to you.

Like most of the people said, you should experience downfall, you should start at the bottom before you become successful. Negativities will only bring you down so keep a positive mindset towards your journey and that positivity will push you up. Work hard, full effort, and patience pays off so never stop working on your own success to reach that million.

Don't rush things but keep it cool and easy.

737  Economy / Economics / Re: China is winning the Economy Wars on: August 16, 2020, 12:41:57 PM
Obviously, they are. In China, the number of covid cases right now are only 600+ even if the virus originated from them. That is a sign that they are having a good control and steps towards handling this Covid-19 virus in their country. With that, possibly the businesses in their country are operating so that their economy is not that much affected. Being a country with a business-minded mindset is really what helps their economy become stable and grow. You can't deny that they are really having a massive manufacturing companies that operates in their country and being a communist country is an advantage for them. US really have a downward movement in its stock market but they don't have any choice but to fight for it.
738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Covid-19 and Bitcoin on: August 16, 2020, 11:53:59 AM
Maybe yes because corona virus affecting our economy I think that's the reason why bit coin price rised and most stocked crashed.And about frequent scam because people are too desperate to earn money in this situation to buy thier food. They don't how to earn money because they losses their job already because of covid-19. Corona virus have a big impact in our economy and our world.

That's the main problem, urging to earn profits but they are too ignorant for it.

Although people are trying their best to earn money and sustain their needs this quarantine, they should not be so aggressive if they see something that can be a tool for scamming. Especially those links and offers that will give you an easy money, 100% they are scams. There's no such thing as an easy money in this world, especially in cryptocurrency industry. This Covid-19 pandemic really brought a lot of struggle and panic nowadays, so as much as possible, learn to study first before pursuing something that is a legit profitable work for you.
739  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID19 VACCINE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH? on: August 15, 2020, 05:20:36 PM
If this vaccine was found effective and it is proven for more than a year, then there is a possibility that we can somehow recover slowly and go back to normal.

Although this pandemic can really bring a permanent damage to us humans because of those loved ones that we've lost. It can somehow help the economy recover because businesses will possibly reopen and transportation will soon be allowed to operate and then workers can now go to their job everyday.

But that's not easy to predict because probably fear will still be there as it makes people think anxiously.
740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make old people understand Bitcoin? on: August 15, 2020, 03:53:20 PM
Tell them how bitcoin can change and improve their quality of life as they are getting older and older. Remind them about the opportunity that this bitcoin can bring to them to make profits and become successful. It is not too late for an old people to achieve what they want and earn money that they can pass through on their sons and daughter and loved ones, once they ended their journey in this world. They have the maturity to handle themselves from greed so it is not really the problem for them. Their biggest problem in bitcoin investments are ignorance and adaptation, it is not that easy especially that season and the market is always changing.
