1  Local / Pilipinas / Blocked na agad ang websites ng mga unregistered Crypto Exchanges Flagged by SEC on: August 06, 2025, 01:29:49 AM




Last August 4, nagrelease ng news about sa mga Crypto Exchanges na nasilip ng SEC then suddenly today nagsimula na sila iblock ang mga sites nito, Unlike kay Binance before na may warning pa and may several days bago tuluyang iblock. Although it is still accessible via VPN pero paano yung mga kababayan na naipit and no idea how to bypass it, most likely they are panicking due to this news, baka may suggestions or ideas kayo para sa ating mga kababayan paano magkakaroon ng way to access their funds and makapaglipat so we can help and discuss here.

Here is the acrticle for reference: https://bitpinas.com/regulation/pldt-block/

The off topic board is an option but there will not much attention to get, I will also suggest as other members stated. That this could be included on the Meta board to attract forum members to showcase their skills and humor. I'm excited for the entries and hopefully this event will be successful, it will be a great opportunity to spread positivity in the forum.

I think that missing piece is the same with the picture haha, that 1 Billion USD can change my situation right now drastically thought it will not totally resolve my stress and problems but it will create new opportunities and responsibilities which for sure create another sets of problems but in a good way. For me money can't resolve all the problems but it can be a great tool to feel comfort and security in life.

Uy mayroon din palang Filipino translation ng thread na ito dito sa local board. Appreciated yung translation OP! Kakasali ko lang sa event ng Whale sa marketplace and sana lumapit yung price predictions. Anyway, thank you ulit for creating event and translations like this for our local board para mas mahikayat pa yung ating mga kababayan.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being a gambler could actually help you succeed in running a business… on: July 30, 2025, 07:34:41 AM
I am not a successful business owner yet and I am just a slight gambler, but for me maybe gambling and business is like an Identical twin, almost the same in looks but has different characters or personality. They just both require risk taking abilities and how you handle loss, but they are very different in a deeper aspects. Since running a business is a choice and a controlled risk, while gambling is based on chance and luck. Well risk taking is a tool to become successful but at the end of the day it will be based on how you will control yourself in handling your business, gambling activities and how you will apply your skills to become successful.

First of all welcome to the community!
I hope you will gain all the knowledge and achieve your goals in joining in the forum, you have a background in crypto already so for sure you can adapt in the discussions here quickly. Just be mindful on all the rules and how you will contribute in the forum. Just be yourself and don't be afraid to seek help from other members, don't use AI and think before you click. About the "old school" feel you are talking about, I think you are pertaining on the UI of the forum and how it looks in general. But as the famous line said "don't judge the book by its cover" because you may be looking at something special.
7  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Vlogger naubos ang 69 million sa sugal on: July 30, 2025, 05:23:53 AM
Minsan di nako naniniwala dito kasi madala OA lang din sila mag sabi ng mga talo nila tsaka most likely naman yung mga vlogger na lalo ung mga nag popromote ng sugal is mga demo account lang eh pero yung mga vlogger na mga milyon ang taya well possible but in terms of casino itself kasi nga ito talaga walang demo demo na nangyayare pero ayun nga lang masyadong mataas naman ata yang 69M para iwaldas tas normal na mamamayan ka lang imagine diba pero money is money well pera naman nila yan eh ayun nga lang lulong na sila masyado.

Totoo to marami ng mga lumalabas sa soc med na puro demo account lang yung gamit ng mga influencers kuno para ipromote yung game and mang hikayat ng manlalaro. Ang hindi lang sure is yung mga big players nga na millions yung bet kagaya nila BBC. Kaso minsan hinahanap padin ng iba yung physical presence pag nagsusugal sila kaya talagang dumadayo sa mga casino, mas malaki ang panalo compared sa online gambling pero di hamak na mas mabilis ka naman maadik at maubos lahat ng pera mo. Dito naman sa case ni Awit talagang mental issue niya na yan regardless kung totoo man yung 69m or 11m and sana naman yung mga tao is mamulat din kung ano yung nagagawa ng pagsusugal, with this issue sana magamit niya yung influence niya in a way na wag siyang tularan. Pero tama naman at the of the day pero nila yan so choice nila.

Ang daming ganitong emails na tipong kakabahan bente ka talaga kapag nabasa mo kung hindi ka aware sa mga ganitong uri ng scam. Ito kasing mga scammer na ito, may record ng mga emails natin kaya mahirap na din kung yung exposed email addresses natin ang patuloy nating gagamitin sa mga transactions at registrations natin. Mas maganda gumawa ng panibagong email mo kung professional man yan o pang transactions mo. Pati na din sa mga mobile numbers. Ang daming mahilig sumali sa mga giveaways na required ipost yung numbers nila para daw sa gcash. Isa yan sa data mining na ginagawa ng mga scammers. Kung ikaw yung natarget tapos nataon na may kaso ka talaga, baka madale ka ng scam na yan.
Actually ako nga habang binabasa yung message may konting kaba na papano pa kaya yung mga may naging atraso before or may mga pending na cases haha. Sobrang hirap talaga ngayon lalo pag compromised na yung emails or victim na ng data mining. Thank you din OP for raising awareness since first time ko din makabasa ng ganito, usually kasi yung mga raffle winners or sim rewards ang narereceive ko although same concept lang. Pero sana may gawin din na actions yung mga nabanggit sa message lalo yung Hall of Justice ng QC or Atty Amado (in case na ginamit lang din yung credentials niya) para maiwasanng mga kababayan natin.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: In today's world of subscriptions! on: July 30, 2025, 01:53:17 AM
Well my girlfriend actually ask me about the same scenario if I'm willing to pay more on a subscription that will save her with no ads and live normally, at first I thought it was a trick question but of course I answered that I will do everything to pay for the premium and not compromise her time to live. Then she revealed that it was came from that episode of Black Mirror, it ended up with a good discussion. Just sharing.

To answer your question, it is case to case basis on how you will utilize all your subscription since some are for everyday use or just for leisure. And I think those subscription in general are worth it, since it saves you time and convenience when accessing it instead of stressing yourself or making time on finding way on how to access it for free.

It will just boil down on the spending capacity of the subscriber if it will affect their expenses, then that's the time they should review all their subscription and cut off all the unnecessary ones. 
11  Economy / Economics / Re: The Philippines supposedly got a 1% tariff discount, is that really a victory? on: July 29, 2025, 02:10:09 AM
From the records, Donald Trump has only raised the tariffs by 2% for the Philippines and this is something to celebrate compared to what he has done for other countries. I may not know the value of these percentages in dollar terms but seeing that Philipines enjoy such level of love from Donald Trump is something to celebrate. There are countries facing as high is 20% raise on tariffs, not that I'm saying this is right but based on the realities on ground,  Philippines have every reason to celebrate. 
I think this should be the perspective that we need to look at when we ask why the government here in the Philippines is still celebrating even though it's just a 1% decrease on the tariff rate. Since the US or Trump has all the rights to set their own increase in  each country we must be glad on the 2% increase compared to 20% that you've said or even 50% on other countries as one member stated. Well most Filipino's doesn't understand much about negotiations and maintaining relationship with other countries but I must also agree that we must be glad that Trump still show some interest in the Philippines even though there are some reports that he is not happy with how the previous administration manage their relations with US. We may all hope all of this if for the betterment of both countries.
12  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin Life Insurance on: July 28, 2025, 08:07:30 AM
~snip~

Let's start with the basics. You don't have any kind of ToS and Privacy Policy terms, no licences, no physical address (thus no country), no insurance of the funds that you will get (hopefully wouldn't get a sat), and your site is made in a $10 max template. So, do you really believe that anyone will ever send you a single satoshi because you say that you are an insurance broker? Sorry, but you are completely deluded. My 2-cent suggestion: lock your thread before it's too late.

I laughed when you said that the site is made with $10 max template I would not even pay 10 for that and to be honest this type of post must be an example that members here must stay vigilant and careful. All I see with this kind of pitch about insurance and bitcoin is red flags. I also agree that this thread must be locked to avoid reaching more members. 
13  Local / Pilipinas / Re: GCASH, Upgrade you limit to 500K on: July 28, 2025, 07:13:40 AM
Cool steps ito at safe since hindi need iconnect online bank account. I will recommend this sa mga kakilala ko na mababa lng limit dahil wala silang bank account.

Sa akin kasi ay gumawa pa ako ng UB bank account since sobrang dali lng magopen ng account sa UB through online then connect ko lng sa gcash para makuha yung 500K limit.

Hindi ko na ginamit yung UB account ko after ko makiha yung 500K limit. Hehe
Same here UB din yung inopen ko since sobrang dali lang ng application and process before and need talaga tumaas limit especially during Axie days na maraming transactions. Sa akin naman walang naging problem kahit na active both accounts and I use my UB for spare funds. I don't know lang yung risk pag nag coconnect ng other online banks sa gcash since pwede mo naman ngang hindi gamitin yung bank na yun. Well thanks padin OP for sharing para may work around yung mga users na need magpataas ng limit tapos may issues with other online banks.
14  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which storage devices are best for upgrading a Dell laptop? on: July 25, 2025, 02:55:59 AM
Well you must indicate your laptop model first so we can give a proper recommendation of compatible SSD's available right now. But if your laptop has m.2 nvme slot go for that kind of SSD, and use your extra sata slot for backup drive using sata SSD or HDD. Currently there are a lot of brands that offers reliable and fast transfer that will not have a problem with Dell laptops. I also vouch for the samsung ssd, crucial and wester digital are also option to consider. It will just boil down to your budget.
15  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Bakit importanteng hindi ipag kalat na mayroon kang crypto on: July 24, 2025, 07:37:15 AM
Naalala ko tuloy yung term na sumikat sa socmed about sa pag popost nga ng achievements without knowing na may naattract na palang negative vibes or impact sa iba. Evil eye yung tawag and hindi lang siya about sa crypto eh more on yung pag control talaga sa mga dapat mong ipost or hindi and kung hanggang saan lang yung pwede mo ishare sa iba even if friends mo pa. Innate kasi sa tao yung inggit and gaya nga ng sabi sa previous replies, Iba padin yung peace of mind na nagagawa pag humble ka lang and may control sa kung anong info lang ang gusto mo ipaalam sa iba. Kwento ko lang din yung classmate namin before na talagang lowkey lang and halos walang post or paramdam sa soc med pero bigla nalang nag my day na kasama na sa binance event and may mga napundar na. Kaya maganda talaga ikeep in mind yung saying na "work hard in silence and let your success be your noise" hindi lang sa crypto pero sa lahat ng aspect ng buhay.
16  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Mapua Launches BS in Artificial Intelligence Engineering on: July 24, 2025, 06:38:39 AM
Sobrang interesting talaga lalo MIT pa ang nag offer ng course na ito and good news sa mga students, ngayon kasi either IT graduate or Computer Engineering graduate ang ineexpect mo na mag qualify para sa mga jobs na inoffer about AI pero with this program magkakaroon na ng specific track and syempre mas priority din ng mga employer na sila ang ihire. Lalo ngayon ang dami ng demands and developments sa mga business related to AI programs and yung mga graduates neto ang hindi mapapalitan ng AI in the future since sila ang ineexpect na magproproduce ng mas maraming utilization ng AI in our daily lives. Looking forward into this course and will recommend din sa mga younger generation na may ganitong program na aside sa mga existing course available.
17  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Paggamit ng Deepfake sa scam project on: July 24, 2025, 06:22:16 AM
Medyo mahirap na talaga ngayon mag identify ng mga AI generated video lalo sa soc med dahil sa mga development sa AI, unlike before more on pag deepfake mapapansin mo agad yung deform na mata or dumdoble pa minsan or yung bibig pag nagsasalita sila naiiwan. Unlike ngayon may mga video na purely AI na mas enhanced and mapapaniwala ka lalo kung older generation pa ang makakakita. Kagaya nalang nung nabalita na Senator mismo napaniwala din ng AI vid, siguro it's time nadin para iimpelement ng mga social media platforms na irequire yung mga uploader na iindicate nila sa post or mismong vid na AI Generated lang yung content. If may makalusot pwede siya ireport ng mga viewers na may doubt sa video for take down and icontest nalang ng uploader with evidence if mali yung report. Kasi bukod sa crypto scams talagang talamak siya sa mga usual scams na exposed yung general public, especially today may report na nabawasan yung mga victims ng scam through text and call dahil sa implementation ng sim registration pero tumaas naman sa mga victims gamit yung internet and for sure malaki contribution ng pag gamit ni AI dito. So dapat stay vigilant palagi.
18  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin > Philippine Peso | (20% Tax on Interest Income) on: July 18, 2025, 12:03:04 AM
Isa sa mga rason bakit di din ako gaano nag hohold ng PHP.

Example breakdown galing sa UnionDigital (Isang e-wallet/banking)


Example from Philstar:
Quote
For example, long-term peso deposits placed before July 1 still follow the graduated tax schedule: zero percent for five years, five percent for four to less than five years, 12 percent for three to less than four years and 20 percent for less than three years.


See the difference? Kakarampot na nga yung makukuha sa interests rate plus yung inflation pa. Sobrang kunti na.
Ang tanong, gaganahan ka pa ba nito mag lagay ng mga PHP deposits sa mga banks niyo or e wallets?

To be honest, sa kabubuan, mas malaki ang accumulated Bitcoin kompara sa PHP on hand/bank ko. Ang PHP ko lang ay mostly gamit pang gasto/bills or emergency funds.

Para sakin, for sure madaming Filipino na mag eexplore ng ibang bagay para pag gamitan ng mga PHP nila, like mga investments, businesses, etc.
At may dahilan din ang gobyerno natin bakit nag impose sila ng ganitong batas - para na lang din dagdag daw sa revenue nila.

More on:
https://www.philstar.com/business/2025/07/14/2457715/banks-slap-uniform-20-tax-interest-income
https://bitpinas.com/fintech/banks-20-pct-tax/#:~:text=Major%20Philippine%20banks%20have%20begun,effect%20on%20July%201%2C%202025.

Sobrang nakakainis na talaga tong administrasyon nato imbis na gumawa ng batas na magpapagaan ng buhay ng kanilang nasasakupan ito sila nag dadagdag pahirap sa atin.

Biruin mo yan naisipan pa talaga nila kunan ng 20% ang interest natin sa bangko sa liit ng binibigay nila heto kukuhanin pa nila. Napaka sakim talaga nila sa pera at tingin ko diyan nila babawiin yung nalustay nila nung nakaraang taon or even ngayon.

Pantapal to sa mga ninakaw nila kaya naghahanap na naman ng bagong pundo para may makuha ulit sila.

Sa ngayon balak ko e withdraw ang funds ko sa banko at ilagay nalang yun sa cooperative mas malaki pa ang profit na makukuha natin kaysa bank at tsaka reliable option din ito since di sila affected ng 20% tax impelementation na yan.

I am also considering this move also, since marami na akong nakukuhang magandang feedback with cooperatives and marami nading nag ooffer na kakilala plus may mga special offer din sila with members, with this kind of implementation mas mapapaisip yung mga kababayan natin to diversify their holdings. Personally more on crypto talaga and lipat to coop nalang instead sa banks magtira nalang siguro ng certain amount for emergency lang. Thank you din OP for bringing this here since marami ngang naguguluhan and nadadale ng mga rage bait sa social media especially yung mga elderly na sila yung maraming holdings sa traditional banks.

If your source of income are came from online or digital having another set of layer with the security is a must because for sure you will engage with different links, and platform and you must need to make sure your details and information are safe from getting stole, one of the best thing is to have a good AV to have a filtered most of the things you need to avoid. Also next is if you are engage with the crypto of course having a good wallet is a must such as a hardware wallet that we want our funds safe from different attacks. Now regard with the financial one of the most is having a different source of money could be a job and services or else if you can capable business at least you can get a full time handle on it.
Just want to ask what's your preferred or recommended software for antivirus since it is not cheap too and there are some with chaotic user interface. I just want to treat it like an investment to secure my assets/funds. I am also using trezor as a hard wallet and I agree that it will give you extra protection and peace of mind.

I also want to add that avoiding the use of pirated software and programs also helps to reduce your risk or chance in compromising your security.
