What do you guys think about China urges to ban all online gambling in Philippines?. One of their reason is that "The embassy said many of the Chinese citizens working illegally in Philippine casinos or POGOs and other forms of gambling entities are subjected to what media described as modern slavery due to severe limitation of their personal freedom and also Beijing welcomed the suspension of the issuance of new licenses for Philippine offshore gaming operations (POGO).
Earlier this year, I opened up this thread: Philippines' PH Resorts Group gets regulatory nod for $350 million share offerinSo it looks like Philippines is somewhat leaning on online and offline casino to bring revenues in the country. So I doubt that the government will listen to China, if Philippines wanted to stop it then they shouldn't offer gambling licenses and stop the influx of Chinese coming to the Philippines. But it's too late already, in my opinion. There is big money involved here, and I think that Duterte won't heed their call.

If I'm in OP's shoes, the decision is very easy, sell some of my bitcoin stash because of my emergency situation. Actually it did happen to me once in 2017, something came up in IRL that I need to liquidate almost everything can to cover the cost of daughter's hospital bills.

Facebook team or developer pay really a lot now even they really experience hard time to launch or run here in crypto world so if they hire more to help them out then they can pay for that and then for me if they already here in crypto many will really use their Libra so they can back all what they use to spread this like business only like even they really hire many people
I think the question is are they trying to circumvent by hiring someone to lobby for them? This are powerful people and maybe they are stepping on some toes here that's why they just decided to get someone to get the job done for them. Oh well, they have the money to back up their project, but by the way they want to get it approved is somewhat sketchy to me, and it looks like this is a desperate move to be honest.

If Floyd will see this video, he would say to Loma, "Im long been retired from boxing dude" ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . It could be a money fight for Loma but i don't think Money would bite this. Loma is young and a beast that destroyed Rigondeaux who replicates the style of Floyd IMO. It's not possible at this point. If he wanted to go to 147 and chase money fights there, then good. There are a lot of high prize fighter in that decision not name Floyd Mayweather. But I don't know if his body can really go that high though and we don't know for sure if he can carry the power and the speed. But it would be really interesting to at least go as high as 140 lbs for him and go for belt.

So KD and Kyrie are recruiting the still unsigned Melo to join them in Brooklyn. What do you guys think? A one year contract sounds like a good deal to me since KD won't be able to play for a long time. I hope Melo's manager don't act like a tough guy if ever the Nets management contacts him.
If Melo can adjust and he can remove his ego and accept his role as a bench then maybe a one year deal will be a worthy deal for him and a chance for him to redeem himself. I watched him carrying the Knicks way back 2014 I think and carried it to playoffs. The all-star Melo type is gone already but he can be helpful in the Nets with KD out for the whole season. Definitely Melo can be a big addition to the Nets. But as you have said, he needs to understand his role now. He is no longer the Melo the scorer and he needs to adjust him game to fit with the Nets style. Yes, one year contract seems to be fair or even 10 days agreement. And then it's going to be a wait and see. Just like what Houston did last year, giving him chance to play, however, he was cut off by the team early in the season.

Lol, You can go on Youtube and see that John McAfee keeps repeating himself, as far as I can remember he already echo this sentiments in Nov 2018 and then May 2019. And it just common sense though, you don't need to be a a so called "guru" or "expert" and tell the world what you need to do. This is just a way for John to stay in relevant and at least still in the limelight of crypto verse. No need to give him accolade for calling this one out.

Ok so it still looks like 50/50 up to this point. We may have to wait a bit longer to see the effect. I'm also not a fan, but it will definitely help a lot on bitcoin to gain confidence to those institutional investors who are waiting and willing to pour their cash on the ecosystem. I agree that we get tired of hearing about Bakkt launched, but I still optimistic that maybe investors are going to renew their interest, after a year of hype.

Just some update here: The unscrupulous operators of the TrickBot trojan -- one of today's most active and widespread malware strains -- are now capable of carrying out SIM swapping attacks, security researchers from Secureworks have told ZDNet today.
This is possible because over the past month, TrickBot operators have developed a new version of the malware that can intercept login credentials and PIN codes for Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless web accounts.
The data TrickBot collects can allow its operators to carry out a so-called SIM swapping attack, porting a victim's phone number to a SIM card under their control.
This would allow the TrickBot gang (or someone else) to bypass SMS-based multi-factor authentication solutions and reset passwords for a victim's bank accounts, email accounts, or cryptocurrency exchange portals.

If this is real then huge applause for the OP's bravery for risking with his capital but its almost not possible for everyone so be careful even with these kind of trading and even OP mentioned it.Marigin trading or binary trading or any kind of huge leveraged trading is just the another form of gambling so we can make it when we are lucky or just come up with the next time with the hope of making it.
Exactly, first time that I saw members here showing his trading skills with some luck and risk taking. I'm not into margin trading to be honest, but with this kind of post, it gets me intrigue and probably would like to take my hands dirty here. Will probably not risk that high though, just wanted to learn how it really works and I'm more willing to lose my some money just to understand this system. But great job indeed.

Correct. Lomachenko Overwhelmed By Show of Support From UK Fans WBA, WBO lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko admits that he was a bit overwhelmed by the show of support from the British fans, who came out to watch the boxer show his stuff at the open workouts on Wednesday. https://www.boxingscene.com/lomachenko-overwhelmed-by-show-support-from-uk-fans--142074British fans are one of the hardest fans to really pleased because they've been into boxing for many years and has produced a lot of great champions. So seeing that the fans love Loma is very surreal to see at least. I'm sure that even if Campbell losses here, they will still appreciated both Loma and their local boy here.

if the money is right, around $300 million figures guaranteed pay for him, we will quickly go to the gym and start training.
That's too big, it's x2 of what he was guaranteed in the last fight based on the figures posted here https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/594709826996834305/photo/1I don't think that would again happen, unless the promoters sees this rematch a better one that could attract more crowd, but then again, the risk is on the promoter, and that's a big money to risk knowing the first fight wasn't an explosive fight. I think that's the only way to lure Floyd Mayweather out of retirement and fight again. There is no way that he will fight with the same amount of money as the first fight. Manny Pacquiao had done his share of the promotion by winning against Thurman. So the ball is really on Floyd side right now.

https://twitter.com/Bakkt/status/1166743438332743685?s=20Ok so next week we will finally see how Bakkt can really affect the price of bitcoin (positive or negative). Here the contract is physically delivered, customers are given the actually bitcoin when the contract expires as opposed to cash settlements being offered by CME and CBoE.

It's either a desperate move on his part of someone took advantage of the situation created a fake news and then take the profits when BSV hits $200. Just sad that a lot of investors are duped by this fraudsters again. I guess we can all rest the case as it is now official that CW is not Satoshi. He could file for an appeal but it doesn't change the fact he is faketoshi.

Maybe yes he won't be the same, but also Kawhi suffered before but happened to came back stronger, it's a love from the game and the passion that he will continue playing the same intensity that he have way back, KD is one of those prime player from the league and having him back with the same types of athletic attitude will keep him as one of the best that the sports ever have.
I think the injury of Durant is more serious than Kawhi's injury, Kawhi miss playing with the Spurs because there's a tension inside and he doesn't want to play with the team anymore. Kawhi were able to come back and played with the Raptors, he was still consistent but only played limited minutes in the start and as we noticed he has a lot of rest last regular season because the team are managing his minutes to prevent him from getting re injured again, I think we will see this kind of treatment when Durant comes back. Right, and maybe Kawhi has a lot of rest as well that's why the injury did flare as much as he expected. As compare to Durant who everyone in the NBA thinks has a more serious injury and would take a lot of time just to heal it. And then you have to practice and can a feel of the injury and see if you still the same. But I do hope that Durant recovered quickly so that we can enjoy watching him and Irving doing their thing.

Doesn't take a genius to see where Floyd Jr after for. He wanted to get a big pay check here. And I would just echo what others have said here, if the money is right, around $300 million figures guaranteed pay for him, we will quickly go to the gym and start training. If Floyd Mayweather will continue his marathon boxing style, no one could beat him even Manny Pacquiao. It's clear Mayweather is afraid Manny's big punch he knows what will happen to him once he's hit.
That is Floyd style, majority doesn't like it, but that's how he made money in his career and it is very effective.

There has been news around that Facebook has hired the services of FS Vector - https://www.fsvector.com/ to help them about the “issues related to blockchain policy,” https://www.odwyerpr.com/story/public/12989/2019-08-26/facebook-posts-lobbying-retainer-amid-cryptocurrency-controversy.html Facebook has hired a Washington-based lobbying firm in light of increased Congressional and regulatory pushback the social media network has received due to its forthcoming cryptocurrency offering, Libra.
The social media giant has retained consulting shop FS Vector for support on “issues related to blockchain policy,” according to lobbying registration documents filed with Congress.
And it will be headed by ex Coinbase head of policy John Collins. But I'm not sure if this is a good move or just Facebook is really that desperate to get their Libra project going. Your thoughts?

Cyber criminals is now targeting Instragram for their phishing attempts: This is how the fake looks like: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FgPRrhbz%2FScreen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-2-21-10-PM.png&t=663&c=TgIcLu0UCCJxKQ) And this is the real one: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FS6g4Sc3%2FScreen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-2-21-35-PM.png&t=663&c=u8wF2Nbx7tXBlg) Visually you can't really tell the difference here, so everyone need to be very careful as those crooks are targeting our social media accounts because they know they can get something out of it (whether to used as ransom or something else).

Just to give everyone a heads-up, Investigation Update
The latest evidence of this investigation indicates that some of the leaked images overlap with images that were processed by a third-party vendor, which Binance contracted a few times between early December 2017 and late February 2018.
During our review of the leaked images, there were multiple photoshopped or otherwise altered images which do not match the KYC images in our database and are being accounted into the comprehensive investigation. In addition, every image processed through Binance for KYC purposes is embedded with a concealed digital watermark, which was notably absent from all of the leaked images. VIP treatment for those affected? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) We are compensating affected users with a lifetime Binance VIP membership, including preferential trading fees, support, and more services. We encourage users to contact us with questions and about restitution by submitting a request on the Binance Customer Support Center under “Security Issue.” Please make sure to verify you are being contacted via official Binance email communication. https://www.binance.com/en/blog/371631019142385664/Update--Action-Response-ThirdParty-Vendor-KYC-Matter
