In choosing for the candidates, FIDE established a criteria in order to choose players that can and will participate in the tournament for the WC Championship. You already said it:
-in which Ding was able to achieve in the time frame given by FIDE. Though you argued that he cheated since he accomplished this within less than a month, then FIDE should have called this and prohibited him from participating in this event and mentioned that such practice is PROHIBITED.

Again, alleging that Ding cheated just because he was able to complete 30 classical games in a month is just outrageous. If there was a problem with it, then FIDE should have looked into it, in which they did not. Perhaps this is not cheating perse but a loophole that Ding was able to capitalize on that FIDE had no problem with.

Actually, hindi ko din alam kung ano ang basis ng AI dito kasi pwede lang naman din siyang kumuha ng various data na walang confirmed sources at the end. At the end of the day, medyo risky if completely tayo mag dedepend sa AI sa prediction kung tataas man ang price ng BTC or hindi.

Sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, better pa rin kung tayo mismo ang gumawa ng ating sariling forecast based din sa sarili nating research. Since pinag uusapan din kasi dito pera and investment, better do it on your own to reduce the risk of you losing money in the end.

Ohh I think calling him a cheater is very unfair- he qualified for the candidates due to Karjakin's ban from participating in this year's candidate so under the rules, he is the "substitute" for his place. Still, Ding was around top 3 when the candidates happened and calling him a "cheater" is very uncalled for.

Well, the game ended with Nepo winning this match. I really like what Giri mentioned during the commentating of the game in which he explained that playing with the black pieces is more difficult than white. You have to prepare for all kinds of preparations while white may play any kind of preparation to his liking.

Furthermore, I do think that this year's WC match contained more wins compared to past WC matches that happened.

Well for starters, you need money in order to purchase resources in this world. In addition, money gives you the power to at least enjoy your life in a relatively easier way compared to others.

Money was created in order to have a standard means of exchange. Before fiat, barter existed and it was difficult for people to assess a specific value of an item. With money being the main medium of exchange, this standardized everything which made it the international standard of exchange globally.

With this in mind, you can purchase at least anything if you have money. Not only do you have the power to do so but you also have the privilege of experiencing things that can only be bought with money.

This depends completely on the purpose of the investment. The good thing about investing in BTC is that its value can be easily converted to cash by engaging in p2p exchanges and services in the event that they need the money for some urgent purpose.

Personally, I would have done the same thing if I have the luxury of having jewelries that can be disposed of for investment purposes. While precious metals are already considered as investments, I still prefer investing in cryptocurrencies due to its volatility- either investing for short/long-term depending on its price on the market.

Sa tingin niyo, if nagkaroon na ng fork, tataas nanaman ang presyo ng BTC no? Medyo nanghihinayang ako kase last few months, price ng BTC bumaba ng around ~p1.2m and stable siya at that price. Ngayon na tumaas siya to p1.6-1.7m, medyo nanghinayang ako na hindi ako nakapag invest and hindi ko na HODL mga BTCs ko earned from campaign signatures.

Do you guys think na papalo yung price ng BTC around ~p2m this year? Plano ko talaga to make my first big purchase with my BTCs kaya need ko lahat ng pwedeng information about this.

To be honest, I admire you for posting on software applications and BTC technical support as that page consist of technical issues that only a few understand. The language is so different to the point that you would be able to understand such if you have the actual technology that is in dispute.

One advice that I would give you is perhaps continuing your momentum on posting on those threads. The more technical the discussion is, the more chances for your posts to be merited by other users that also understand the topic.

You can see that on the exchange sacrifice with the rook, you can see Ding's hand shaking when he took that knight. You can clearly see the pressure among these players since a single mistake can cost you the whole game. I was not expecting Ian to lose on the fourth game but he definitely miscalculated when he placed his knight back.

Both players have a point respectively and they will become more careful with the games from now on. At the end of the day, I am rooting for Ding to win this title!

Cryptocurrencies are considered as a niche topic in which not everyone knows about its existence. Though that may be the case, slowly, its reputation is gaining more traction and attention as compared a few years ago. Maybe the reason on why its popularity is increasing is due to the pandemic in which everything became online.

We cannot force anyone to know and learn about cryptocurrencies due to its technicality and complexity. Even if everyone knows about it, still, we still have to convince them about its investment opportunities and I find this more challenging than ever.

Well, an investment to begin with is something that you should devote some time to. If you want to invest on something that is "stress free" like you mentioned, then I guess it is better to allocate your resources in stocks by purchasing blue chip companies' stocks in the process.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is definitely risk in itself. With its volatility high, its price may change without any given notice. That is also the reason on why majority of the people invest in BTC either for short/long-term depending on its price on the market.

If my interest rate is too low, feel free to adjust it to your normal rates! Hoping again for your kind consideration, shasan!

I do not think so especially if you are not so concerned with your privacy in terms of your transactions.

Generally, people mix their BTCs when they transact huge amounts from one wallet to another to avoid getting flagged by a current exchange. Sometimes, exchanges question the amount of BTCs you receive but if you are transacting relatively small amounts, I do not think that applying for a mixer is the best course of action.

Though that may be the case, for maximum privacy, a mixer is still recommended but not always.

Though it will not have that much impact, I think it is still a fair move for the league to implement this kind of prohibition to limit gambling sponsors. Though I do agree that this kind of implementation is just a "front" in order to boost their image to the public but it will not affect anything at all.

If the league is really concerned in addressing the issues with gambling, then they must implement measures that will indeed remove any kind of gambling sponsorship on their advertisements or promotions.

Given na sobrang nagiging strict ang pag-implement ng sim registration dito sa Bansa, I do think na magiging maayos naman SANA yung security dito. Imagine mo, sobrang pinupush itong Sim Registration to the point na you are actually punished if hindi mo ito ginawa. With this in mind, wala talaga tayong choice but to comply with this mandate or we suffer severe consequences and loss of privileges dito.

Though this may be the case, I guess this is still a good move to push towards development and security. Maaring medyo hindi maganda ang private security natin ngayon but this would compel TELCOs to increase further their system para maprotektahan din ang ating personal identities and documents.

To be honest, we are in the same position. Though I can somehow grasp the whole idea of BTC and cryptocurrencies, I still find trouble understanding one of the focal points on this topic, which is something related with hardware, etc.

If you are still struggling to understand the basics of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain, I highly recommend watching this TED TALK VIDEO as it simplified the explanation of the latter topics. When I watched this video, it somehow gave me an understanding about the potential of cryptocurrencies and its integration to the finances potentially in the future.

If this were the case, this would be considered as a prima facie evidence that the casino is trying to withhold my profit. With this, they are intentionally delaying payments and this would require further action in order to satisfy my claim, which should be reported to their customer service representative or forum representative, if the latter is available.


This depends on the casino you are depositing your money with. If it is a fairly new casino that offers relatively high bonuses to attract users, that would be considered as a red flag for me. But if it is a casino that has been ongoing for several years now, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Of course, all problems should be directed to their CS representative for them to be alerted of this issue.

In the Philippines, only the legally recognized legal tender is allowed for the payment of wages to their respective employees. Any kind of payment not recognized as the legal tender is void and can be legally challenged by the employees especially if this was without their respective consent.

Like what you guys mentioned, how can the employees appreciate this kind of system where they are the ones who are not knowledgeable about it on the first place? This puts too much risk on them given that the risks involve are just too great for them to accept.

If there is something that I have discovered over the years, it is to take advantage of youth and time while you are young.

If you have any spare cash on hand, invest it on different mechanisms for you to reap in the future. For example, investing in blue chip stocks can actually be profitable in the long-run especially if you just let its value mature over time. While you still have your resources on hand, invest it on different platforms for you to enjoy in the future.

Most people invest in cryptocurrency with the aim of short/long-term investment depending on their goal. Personally, I would prefer to invest in both timeframes there are instances where investing whether in short or long-term is profitable.

I somehow agree with your statement- the job that some have is too specific for some to even consider. Though you may post your services and create a thread for it, other than that, you should focus on other spaces as well.

As someone who currently participates in a campaign signature, it is my duty to at least engage in fruitful discussions about a certain topic. I spend around 2-5 hours daily browsing through threads and reading comments in order to keep myself engaged to the topic.

I do recommend that you aim on contributing to the forum by joining into discussions in order to increase your forum rank in this journey. If you are able to participate in campaign signatures, then that is one reason to keep you being active in discussions here in this forum.

This is very concerning given na p2p ang main channel for transactions in either binance or bybit. Nakakatawa lang kase may mga scammer talaga na willing to take advantage sa mga ganitong situation just for the sake na makakuha lang sila ng pera.

In binance, as far as I know, protected siya with the in-built system and makikita mo yung percentage of their trades being closed. Though iilang ways lang naman to guarantee, hindi pa rin talaga absolute na safe ka pa rin sa mga p2p transactions. Nakakalungkot lang na nangyayari pa rin ito despite the security measures na meron ang system nila.
