Hindi ko alam ko ano penalties sa mga illegal activities na to pero ang pagkakaalam ko kapag serious offense makukulong talaga sila before deportation.  Mapapataw sa kanila ang criminal justice system dito sa atin at pwedi silang makulong.

Dapat talaga higpitan na yung foreign visa requirements para maiwasan yung ganitong problema.
The problem is, maraming under the table kaya nakakalusot.

Nope, hindi ako ganyan, sa katunayan nga last year sinasabi ko to sa mga relatives ko pero sadyang wala lang sila ineterest kasi anag hirap raw wala sila idea about crypto at naintindihan ko naman sila.  Dito sa forum kasi iba sa socmed, na gagawa ka ng content at kunting edit sa cupcat ayos na.  Dito, pag aralan mo talaga yung activity mo at lalo pa ngayon may merit system na.  So I think no need to gatekeep if gusto nila matuto pag aralan nila, pero you know na pinoy is ayaw mahirapan gusto ay easy money.

Sa katunayan nga nag introduced pa ako about crypto at pinabasa ko sa kanila itong forum.
Aayon maraming walang interest kasi tamad magbasa.
Nasabi ko tuloy, maswerti tayong natyaga dito kahit papaano nakatulong sa atin itong forum.

Like others have said, memorization is the worst way to keep your Bitcoin seed because not all of us can remember it, and our Bitcoin seed might be forgotten over a long period, leaving the wallet inaccessible and the funds unretrievable.
The best option is having a physical copy in a secure location for added safety, like a safe vault to store your Bitcoin seed, or consider engraving the seed on metal or keeping it in a fireproof and waterproof container.

I don't agree with your suggestion above, OP.
It will not work for me.

Keep in mind that trading isn't for everyone.
While some have benefited and won in trading, others may have experienced huge losses.
The fact is, not everyone makes money in trading, and the sudden rise in traders might be driven by FOMO, especially when the market is bullish.

Trading requires knowledge and skills, if you trade just because it’s easily accessible, that’s not the right perception.
Be cautious of the hype.

Miners and large institutions have no impact on Bitcoin’s decentralization, this aspect will never change, even if someone tries to manipulate the price.  In fact, more Bitcoin miners mean more computing power (hash rate) is dedicated to securing the Bitcoin network against a possible 51% attack.  The presence of miners from different locations further enhances decentralization.

Bitcoin will remain decentralized, and this will never change.
Because of its consensus mechanism, Bitcoin uses Proof of Work (PoW), meaning no single party controls decision-making unless it controls the majority of hashing power.

I tend to agree, and it depends on how people see it as its own.
Because it should be seen as entertainment, not a way to chase money.
IMO, we should enjoy gambling as a form of casual entertainment, like going to the casino, playing the lottery, or betting on sports while watching your favorite sports with responsible limits and without negative consequences.

The perception of gambling as "mostly negative" stems from the serious problems it can cause when it’s not managed well, rather than from the activity itself.

That's an old scam tactic, and there's nothing new about it, yet there are still a few victims reported nowadays.
Think about it, when a stranger offers free service just to help you earn a few bucks, as they say, but they never apply it themselves but instead, they aim to make a profit.

It's quite deep what OP meant, but as I understand, never trust people who offer help because they commonly lead you into a scam.  I even personally experienced this when someone PMed me asking if I wanted to have massive income through their exchange, all I had to do was deposit on the exchange and trust their promise to help, which was clearly a scam.

I will not call them traders because they trade without proper knowledge, and to me, that is an act of gambling.
A trading signal is not good for newbies, as it can cause confusion that leads new traders to lose money rather than make it.
It is also possible that a trading signal could be a scam or create hype groups where only those at the top gain most of the benefits, not the members.

Trading isn't about talking or chasing money, sometimes, you need to accept your losses and learn from your mistakes.

But that's a wrong perception.
Crypto itself was not directly regulated, only the exchanges had regulations applied or third-party companies that use crypto, not crypto itself.
Scams still exist as long as there are newcomers who always fall into their traps, and AI now provides advanced tools to deceive people into believing fake things look real.  No one can protect you except yourself once you are knowledgeable enough to do so.

Regulations have nothing to do with scams.
There are many ways scammers convince new crypto investors, and I think AI could now be their new tool.

Sounds funny about the influencer's name, Joe Nakamoto, perhaps claiming to be part of Satoshi Nakamoto's family. Well, that's an interesting video experiment, and I enjoyed watching it, but I have my doubts, what if the content is scripted and not true ?  Or maybe he's just a well-known social media influencer, which makes it easier for him to ask for donations like a beggar.

I haven't tried this in my country because there are no merchants yet that accept Bitcoin as payment, like a coffee shop.  Someday, if there is, I will try this experiment.

If you are making a living from trading, that's definitely not right, and I tend to agree with you, OP.
Trading isn't for everyone, depending on how they view it, especially if you depend on your daily income from trading, because trading doesn't mean you will always win.  Sometimes you will face losses and need to learn from them.

If it doesn't work for you, it's time to quit and stop trading.
If you rely on trading for your daily living and don't have another job, trading isn't for you.

IMO, the risk in gambling is entirely different from the risk in business.
Gambling relies solely on luck, while business requires a solid plan.  You can't claim success in business simply because you are a risk-taker, such as opening a fast food chain in the middle of a forest without a marketing strategy.
Business risks can be managed, unlike gambling, which typically involves fixed odds.

However, despite the risks associated with gambling that we have encountered, we have the courage in business to confront potential risks.  
That's the advantage of a gambler becoming a businessman.

I tend to agree, and that's what we noticed.
But IMO, not all of them have been successful solely due to their financial resources or just their money.
I've heard that some fail to reach the top ranks because of poor management decisions and ineffective strategies.

As I remember the article that I have read before, it's about a team club that successfully reached the top even with a small budget, as they excelled in recruitment, tactics, and player development.
So it's not all about money at all.

Choose a casino where there's no withdrawal limit, so after your gambling session, you can withdraw your money and dont let your money sleep in the casino's wallet.  Who else is holding the user's money in the casino?  

Regulations can benefit both users and the casino.
Casinos can be targets of money laundering and other illegal financial activities, so this regulation helps detect and prevent organized crime infiltration and also ensures proper record-keeping and transparency.

On the user's side, it could be that this regulation ensures fair play, so players can trust that games are not rigged against them.

I don't think there's any point in lying to them if the money you've lost isn't from them.
I won't tell anyone if I lose a big amount, but that's unlikely to happen because I only gamble with what I can afford to lose.  
However, I don't usually tell anyone that I'm losing in gambling, but if I win, I even post it on my social media.

This is not a good practice, lending money for your gambling habit is not always a good decision.
This can ruin your life if you get into debt and can't pay it back anymore.

Thank you for the heads up here.
Diba usually sa spam box ito makikita?  Kasi ako kapag may matanggap ako na email galing spam box hindi ko ito binibigyan ng pansin kasi alam ko na possible scam or merong possible scam link doon.

Very common ito lalo na sa mga text message, nanalo ng lotto or ng raffle, at pinapa kontak ka sa fake lawyer nila pero kung gusto mo malaman if registered lawyer ba yung sinasabi nila pwedi mo naman ma check sa website na to.  https://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/lawyers-list-2/.

Double ingat talaga tayo sa panahon ngayon maraming manloloko.

I think their security feature is that you log out after closing the app, and that's not a big deal for me.
I haven't tried any exchange app other than Binance, mainly because I really like the p2p trading it offers.

Is your internet connection limited, or are you worried about consuming data?
That's not a concern for me since I'm using a Wi-Fi connection.

IMO, the best exchange app is Binance, which is why I haven't looked at any other app.
If you're trading, the app isn't reliable, it’s better to use the website on your PC to monitor the real-time chart.

I remember when I was a newbie here in the forum.
I'm the shy type when it comes to asking questions because of my poor English (which is not my mother tongue) and my fear of making mistakes.  So, I spent time reading educational threads and the pinned messages in every section before I started posting.  I always hit the search button if there's something I don't understand.
Therefore, before you ask the community, you should research first to see if your question has already been asked.

Previously, aside from this forum, I learned a lot from this link: https://bitcoin.org/en/.
It supports various local languages, making it easier to understand.  
If you have a basic knowledge of Bitcoin, you're good to go.

But why do investors often invest when they see a market bull run?  Is it due to FOMO?
Look at what the OP shared, they are starting to talk about Bitcoin, whereas before it was all about gold.
Is it simply that "to see is to believe" mindset?

As we know, bull runs usually come with increased media coverage and positive news, which boosts public interest and confidence in Bitcoin as an asset.  
The same applies to the link that OP shared, this billionaire investor, Ray Dalio, has fallen victim to FOMO, which has now decided to include Bitcoin investment, seeing the price currently having a new ATH.

Then, concentrate on this and share the knowledge you possess.
Soon, you may not even realize that you've already ranked up, and merit will no longer be a concern for you.

I've noticed that for most active users here, merit and ranking up aren't issues because they focus on sharing knowledge within the forum.  
But anyway, welcome to the forum, and best of luck on your journey.  I hope to see you in another thread sharing your valuable insights about crypto.
