8341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AMA (Ask Me Anything): Bitcoin in the Philippines on: January 12, 2019, 03:16:51 AM
though I must admit that most Filipinos are still seeing bitcoin as a ponzi scheme and a get-rich-quick scheme, which is quite saddening.
This is because there are many scammers in our country that uses Bitcoin to scam other people. What's worse is these investors doesn't know what they are investing for. They just see how they can make money and don't think about the risks of putting their money into it. The sad part for me is these people have little to no knowledge on what Bitcoin is. What they only think is the returns if they invest into this company or group.

Coins.ph also does a great job in being a concierge with bills payment and buying e-load and whatnot, and I must applaud how their customer service remain top notch even after all these years.
I have been using coins.ph for almost a year already and I didn't encounter any problems using it. The app is very convenient that you don't need to go to line up just to pay bills. I wish more and more users will be using this in the future.
8342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Peoples truly believe A LOT in Bitcoin on: January 12, 2019, 12:39:52 AM
But why ? Because it's the first cryptocurrency created, and the most used in the market ? What makes you believe that Bitcoin will be the eternal king of the market, and something else won't replace it ?
I think the main reason is because its the most trusted cryptocurrency in the market at this moment that is why many are believing in Bitcoin. I'm not saying that it will be the eternal king because that are the most exaggerated words you can use in the market. As most altcoins are based on Bitcoin's price, what I can say is it will be on the top of the market in terms of market cap but who knows? Somebody can top Bitcoin in the future. Cheesy Anything is possible on the market.

Anyone noticed the chemistry of Lakers?  Cool

They are getting better at passing and they always knew where their team mate is.
Kuzma getting 41 points for just 29 minutes. 9 players of Lakers played the game and 8 got points on their stats against the strong Detroit Pistons. What's better? Doing it without Lebron and Rondo.
Now they are getting fun to watch specially Kuzma. I am a big fan of this young player.
Even Lebron and Rondo are not playing, they are helping these young players outside the court by advising them what they must do inside the court. Well, I wish this will continue so that when Lebron and Rondo come back they will be a lot stronger. I will not be surprised if Kuzma will be an all star player in the next 2-3 years. Good on outside and inside and he is tall that can help the team. If he will continue how he plays right now, he can be an all star in the next years.

I didn't expect the Heat will dominate the Boston, game is not yet over but with 4 minutes left and and the Heat having a comfortable lead, I think it's hard for the Boston Celtics to come back and win. Wade is vintage, he still has that scoring capability, he already had 19 points now at 19 minutes of playing.
Great display for this team, No Dragic but it seems like it's not a problem for them.

Betting on the Heat is easy, looks like the money is on the Celtics in this game.
The Heat are good in their home that is why they dominated the Celtics that easily. Vintage Wade as always Smiley. They have no all star caliber players but they are playing great right now because of their teamwork and the experience of Wade help other players too. I think having Dragic in their lineup will give them a spot into the playoffs.
8345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you remember your first sports bet? on: January 10, 2019, 12:26:13 PM
If I remember correctly, my first sports bet is last year and its NBA that I bet. As a first timer, I used a small amount of money to bet and luckily I won then used all my funds to bet again and won. I think I have tripled my starting fund in gambling but I lost all of it on just one game when I lost on it. I felt angry to myself because I didn't think of diversifying it into different games but I took it as a lesson and every time I gamble, I often gamble on 3 or more games not only one game.
8346  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What did you buy with your Bitcoin as Plan B for the future? on: January 10, 2019, 12:20:43 PM
None. I didn't spend my Bitcoin in a Plan B. My Plan B is to accumulate more Bitcoin at this moment since the price of it is considered low. I think investing in Ethereum will be good too but a little too late.

Lucky for some people who sold their Bitcoin in its peak  because they are sitting right now in a huge profit and either used it for business or buy some needs or it has been invested to other income producing things. Sad for me because at that time, I'm just starting to know cryptocurrency Cheesy.
8347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Friendly advice/warning about gambling in this market on: January 10, 2019, 12:12:47 PM
If you are gambling your btc away you shouldn't care about its USD value anyway. That means you also shouldn't care about the market volatility. What you are after is more BTC, not more USD. Most of us already know BTC will make come back in a few years and pass the last all time high which is $20k.
I agree with this. You are betting using Bitcoin so don't think of its USD value since you are not using USD in gambling. If you are thinking of the value of Bitcoin in USD then its better if you will only use USD in gambling. The main goal if you are betting using Bitcoin is to accumulate more Bitcoin and never mind its value.
8348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Really Meant as a Peer to Peer System on: January 10, 2019, 09:49:54 AM
Thoughts everyone. In general we really should be focusing and promoting the original vision of Bitcoin and Crypto as a Peer to Peer system. Vs as a means to invest in to get more FIAT. The Fiat system is a failure, so why should be keep feeding the bear.

Don't you all want to get your economy back and become more independent from central control.

Why or why not you want this to happen? thoughts.
I don't want to say that the current monetary system is a failure at this moment because aside from its negatives, it gave also some positives to humanity. Now that a new monetary system has been created, it will take time for the people to use this system. Its complex and there are some establishments that need to eradicate in order for this system to be implemented world wide.

Well, Bitcoin has been created for a peer to peer system. It has been created so that these third party establishments will be remove.
8349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who Are Selling off Their Crypto on: January 09, 2019, 12:27:30 PM
To be honest, I didn't thought of selling off my crypto. I'm holding my Bitcoin and some altcoins for more than half a year already. I know that I'm in a loss right now but as they say "Patience is virtue". I have the patience to hold my cryptos although I'm thinking of buying Bitcoin and use it for trading to get more Bitcoin or to use it for gambling.
8350  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's up with bitcoin ? on: January 09, 2019, 11:47:34 AM
Not surprised at all as this happened already when Bitcoin is at 6000. No news heard also. I think this is common already with Bitcoin that the movement of it becomes stable. A small rise followed by a pullback. Price fluctuation of Bitcoin is normal already.
8351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the house always win???? on: January 09, 2019, 10:08:42 AM
Not always but it's often to win.

How to beat the house ? Become lucky enough and having some guts and finally they meet at perfect time, you can win big !
It's difficult but it's not impossible !
Yeah there is a chance that "the gamblers" can defeat the house. I'm not saying you alone because it will be a hard task to do. More gamblers = higher chance to defeat the house but what are the odds that you can defeat it? It will be a difficult task to do but it is not impossible I agree.
8352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is this the right time to explain about bitcoin to others..? on: January 09, 2019, 09:26:21 AM
Anytime is the right time to explain Bitcoin to others. The question is can you explain it to them because in order for you to explain it to them, you must know even the basics only. We all know that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general is very complex that it will be hard for some average persons to understand it. This is why I don't want to explain it to them. I just let them know how Bitcoin works.
8353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: January 09, 2019, 09:19:50 AM
i want to know did you make profit in gambling or lost and i know 99% people lost their money in gambling Gambling is only for fun not a way to make money what you think Gamblers Wink Always Gamble what you afford to Lose Don't Give up LOL
I got a profit in gambling in 2018. I started with a small amount only and lucky for me, I got some profit and then I stopped gambling for the meantime. I withdrew all of my funds in gambling site to my address where I put my BTC holdings.

Gambling is not a work that will give you money but a way to give entertainment only so just spend a little bit of your money. 10 BTC is too much if I'm in your position right now. I can't gamble 10 BTC Cheesy
8354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 08, 2019, 06:25:01 AM
OP must be referring to this Color Game in the PERYAHAN Smiley


This is very common and famous on our country and this is a very fun game because of the prizes,... People may not be able to win any time but this is just a pure luck as I think but some people says it has a cheat or trick on how you'll get those colors correctly picked.

And to correct the subject, there will be always a winner because if there isn't, nobody will play the game. nobody will make a gamble anymore. But the fact that some luck may be used to win, that's why there are so many people who wants to try this kind of games.
That is what I thought with how the OP shares his opinion.

We call this "PERYAHAN" where most people bet on different colors or sometimes cards and numbers. I have tried to bet into this games and to be honest, I didn't won even once. Its always a lose for me. The winning percentage in this kind of game is very low. I often saw this mostly in fiesta and other special events.

I agree with what you said in the last part that there is always a winner in gambling. Its either the gambler or the house Cheesy.
8355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: January 08, 2019, 06:20:48 AM
Coming up! Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets home. I want to bet on the silent and understated Nuggets but it looks like the whole team in the NBA right now aren't really doing well playing on the road except maybe on the Raptors. So i'll be betting on Houston. Denver got a 4 or 5 win streak if I remember correctly including two wins at the road. What's your say?
The Nuggets are on a 5 game winning streak and the Rockets  just ended their 6 game winning streak against the Blazers. The Rockets are good on their home but the Nuggets are good too on the road. Its very hard to bet now on this game because both are performing good right now but I think betters will bet on the Rockets because of the Home Court advantage. I think this will be a close game but the Rockets will win.

Streak are broken, just like how the pacers lose their 6 game winning streak to the raptors this morning. Maybe the rockets will pull this one too in a close game.
Yeah the streak of the Nuggets are broken now that they lose against the Rockets 125-113. As always, Harden got a double double and that ankle breaker against Murray:D plus a foul for a 4 point play. I'm thinking right now that what some analysts are saying is true that Harden is truly unguardable at this moment.

My opinion in the Timberwolves firing their Coach is that I think after the All star, some of their players will be traded to other teams. Many players are affected with what happened especially DRose.
8356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the house always win???? on: January 07, 2019, 01:54:38 PM
I think there is no way that the house will lose. The house will win because of your emotions. There is no way that you can win against the house because your emotions make you lose. How?? If you win, you feel greedy until you lose. House won against you. Now you will feel that you want revenge and will get some money again and get the money you lost a while ago until in the end you lose again. This is a cycle that will make the house win and this tends to happen in some gamblers around there.
8357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: majority will lose money and minds on: January 07, 2019, 01:49:57 PM
Let me guess, you are one of the investors who bought Bitcoin at its highest price and now you are sharing some of your negative opinions here Smiley.

To be honest, I believe in your opinion and for sure people who bought Bitcoin last December 2018 when it's price is at $3200 will sell it when it reaches $50,000. Who will be stupid enough to hold when they know that they can get profit in selling. I think mass adoption of cryptocurrency will make the price stable.
8358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: January 07, 2019, 01:31:41 PM
All of the points you share to us is true. For some gamblers who are gambling for a long time already, quitting in gambling will be hard for them because they are doing this for a long time already and they are already addicted into it that they can't say it a day without gambling.

I think what matters most is your mindset. You must set your mindset into a mindset that you are really quitting gambling. You must do other things, set your mind and make some consequences to yourself if you tried to gamble.
8359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: January 07, 2019, 11:03:27 AM
So we won for betting on Utah Jazz against Detroit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1220979.msg49058996#msg49058996. Our standing is 1-0 (W-L). For tomorrows game at this time I will take a risk, I bet on Atlanta Hawks [3.06] (Homecourt Advantage) against Miami Heat [1.43] also I bet 0.002BTC instead of 0.001 BTC as I said that we only bet 0.001 btc per game. I know that this is not a great idea because we all know that Atlanta Hawks is one of the weak team than Heat and in Eastern Conference but once speaking of Eastern Conference, this team are both Eastern Conference which is battling for a playoff seed. Atlanta Hawks will push this game to move there standing in Eastern Conference. That's enough! Lmao.


They will play at Hawks home which is a bit of an advantage and only Bazemore is only one who will not play but the Heat have a 10-7 record on the road which is a good for me. This is a bit risky if I will bet with this game but high risk = high reward as they say. Good luck with your bet Smiley . If I will bet on this, I will choose point spread rather than moneyline Cheesy.

I won again! 2-0. See if you go with my bet you could also win. I don't have any bet for tomorrow but once I already put a bet I'll edit this post. Stay tuned.
Yeah I see that the Hawks did a great job on their home winning by a huge margin. Too bad I don't have funds in my cloudbet account at this moment but I will put some in the next few days and will bet Cheesy.
8360  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will market price be BULLISH this 2019? on: January 07, 2019, 10:55:54 AM
I speculate that this year, it will be a good year for Bitcoin but I don't think that it will reach its highest peak at $20,000 unless a series of positive news that can make Bitcoin's price higher will happen.

This question has been asked many times already and you are only getting the same opinions. Either good year for Bitcoin or a bad year. Please stop asking these kind of questions Smiley.
