holydarkness was able to discover that:

All three of them are fake.

Here's Preston Stewards



And Lutz, let's suppose he's real, he didn't mention truqoin on his profile, so it's probably stolen without him being aware his picture and name is borrowes. That's assuming Lutz is a real person. It might worth mentioning that his current employment, the founder of Various Lutz, is somewhat questionable as Various Lutz Companies is not registered on CA company directories.

Instead of doing bounty campaigns, aim to rank-up dito sa forum para mag participate ka sa mga campaign signatures. Personally, never pa ako nakasali sa mga bounty campaigns pero narinig ko na napakababa ng profit at cryptocurrencies na makukuha dito. Isa pa, most likely, baka mag contribute ka din sa overall spam since hindi sila medyo regulated, though depende rin ito sa campaign manager na mag checheck ng posts mo.

Again, do not focus on bounties. Focus on contributing dito sa forum kasi mas maganda ang magiging effect nito long-term.

Generally, it is never too late to invest in anything. As long as you start as soon as you discovered it, then you are taking advantage of this opportunity to maximize your profits. Remember that the volatility and inflation of BTC is what makes it unique compared to other investment mechanisms present on the market. If you want to earn at least some profits, better be aware of its price once you invested it and sell your coins as soon as you see some profit on your end.


This depends on you but personally, investing into BTC could either be your dream or nightmare given the right situation.

Lots of people have profited from this venture but there were also some that lost thousands to millions. It all depends on the right opportunity and knowing when to sell your BTCs. Though nothing is absolute, there are certain factors that will indicate or at least guide you if you should sell it or not.

Though wala din ako mabibigay na advice sayo as a graphic designer, meron akong mabibigay na recommendations na pwede mo sundan para relatively dumali yung process mo sa pag hahanap:

First, kailangan mo ibenta sarili mo. Since you are a graphic designer, mag bigay ka ng portfolio mo. You have to convince other people that you are the best graphic designer. You have to look for ways na makakapag separate sayo ang isang normal na graphics designer kaya dapat meron kang unique skill na hahanapin nila;

Second, if wala ka pang portfolio, then you may consider doing your services at a discounted rate to increase your trust and/or experience on this field. Remember na madami kang kalaban din dito kaya if you need the funds badly, consider mo din gawin ito; and

Last, always be courteous and polite in dealing with clients. Minsan, ito yung deal-breaker sa mga clients if nahihirapan silang kausapin yung kanilang potentially na hinahanap. Be straight and be professional in talking to them kasi minsan, sila din mag rerecommend sa mga kaibigan nila papunta sayo.

I agree with your statement.

Generally, bonus abuse and collusion happens frequently in this kind of space but the limitation would be to have some sort of minimum withdrawal deposit for it to be claimable. This is also the reason on why some online gambling companies are hesitant to implement some sort of bonuses since it is subject to abuse by whales in the long run.

I remember back in the days, a person can basically abuse giveaways by creating multiple accounts and using referral codes of streamers. I guess this kind of abuse does not happen anymore or at least less nowadays.

That is why I highly recommend for a person to gamble in an online gambling website which is well-known and well-reputable to prevent these types of problems.

KYC was designed in order for them to follow with their respective rules and comply with their laws. While this may seem dangerous for the person to give out their respective identities, this requirement is slowly becoming mandatory to majority of the gambling websites. Since that is the case, better yet gamble on a website that has been around for years and has a well-established popularity of security and general safety.

I doubt that this would ever happened due to its influence on the whole cryptocurrency world. If the price were to drop to zero (0), then expect every cryptocurrency to at least follow the same fate. If a permanent ban were to be implemented to all cryptocurrencies, then there will be that possibility of it becoming obsolete.


If the price of gold falls to zero, would you purchase it? If a certain thing has no value, then there would be no use for it. Fortunately for gold, it is tangible. But in BTC, when its price falls to zero, then I doubt that it will have any use as an investment instrument or mechanism. There would be no liquidation and transactions that will make it possible for a person to use it.

I agree with your statement.

The phrase "invest only what you can afford" encompasses all possible circumstances of the person not using the money. Basically or in the most simplest terms, just think of it as throwing away money and not expecting any profit from it or anything whatsoever. In that kind of mindset, you would be surprised to see that your cryptocurrencies would slowly grow from time-to-time.

But of course in order to maximize your profits, you must be diligent enough to check its price on the market if your initial investment increased.

It really depends on the purpose as they are two (2) completely different devices for different platforms.

Generally for computer-related tasks, the desktop is well-suitable for the job. If you have sheets and documents to create, then the computer is the way to go. But for things that can be done in both PC and the mobile device, then I would prefer to use the latter.

For example, nowadays, online gambling websites have integrated a desktop-friendly approach where the interface and UI is optimized on your device. This means that you can gamble easily using your mobile phone without having to sacrifice any accessibility and buttons. Before, I used to gamble using my mobile phone due to its accessibility and convenience.

I do get your point pero publicity is always good when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Even if maisip ng mga tao ang ganyan na stigma, ang mahalaga is that narinig na nila yung cryptocurrency at ito na ang mag-stastart ng kanilang curiosity dito. Regardless kung tingin siguro nila na scam to or medyo related siya sa "gangster" vibe, responsibilidad na siguro nila para alamin lalo. Pero yea, this is good publicity sa cryptocurrencies at nakikita din talaga natin na sumisikat na talaga ito compared dati.

I just hope na mas lalo pang sumikat ang cryptocurrencies dito sa bansa. Pero along with this, expect natin ang mga exchanges to be more stringent sa kanilang requirements kasi mas nagiging counter-productive ito.

Over the last five (5) years, I have participated in various signature campaigns and I have at least accumulated a good amount of BTCs throughout my journey. However, there was a time where I also got scammed when I invested in a ponzi-scheme last 2018. From there, I have learned various fundamentals and skills necessary for me to venture in this journey.

Fortunately, also, majority of my BTCs were allocated towards funding my own education. I used my BTCs to purchase school materials, books, and other educational stuff when I was still in college. Currently, I am earning most of my BTCs (still from campaign signatures) in order to at least have some security for the future.

Well, physical casinos can also be addictive especially with all the freebies and complementaries that they offer. They will try their best to capture your attention so you would be able to stay at the casino for as long as they want and for you to actually gamble again.


He is correct. With the rise of online gambling and its surging popularity due to the pandemic, its convenience and accessibility is easier. You can experience the same level of adrenaline in your home as if you are actually participating onsite a physical casino. The only problem stems on how easy it is for any person to enter an online gambling website as underage minors are prone to this.

I do think that it is counter-intuitive that you want to remain anonymous while also assigning someone to claim your winnings. It is very ironic that the person seemed to think about such idea when in fact it will backfire him immediately.

Unfortunately, the person trusted way too much and eventually lost the $50,000 which resulted to a cheat. If he truly wants to remain anonymous, then he could have claimed his prize money in some other time or at least ask his/her trusted family member to get it.

In addition to what you said, most people sacrifice their passion for doing work in order to meet their daily and monthly obligations especially if you live in a thrd-world country. Here in the Philippines, majority of the people are working in order to at least meet their basic needs and provide for their family. To be honest, it somehow baffles me whenever I see people living in first-world countries doing what they really want while at least maintaining a standard of wage that can sustain themselves.

Not all people have the luxury to engage in business. Even if some might have the passion to do so, it is much more harder than it looks given the lack of opportunities that most face.

The cost of living in my country is somehow manageable but the wage is brutal.

In the Philippines, the typical wage for a standard blue-collared job is around $10-$13 per day. With the war ongoing which increased the general prices of goods, our wage is definitely insufficient to meet the daily needs of these people. Not to mention, with our lack of access for efficient transportation, people are suffering since they are waiting around 3-4 hours in line just to get home.

Unfortunately, majority of the people in my country have started migrating to the US or other first-world countries in hopes of alleviating their financial position.

From several posts that I read about scammers, hackers, and cheaters, the common denominator was joining telegram groups. As much as these groups sometimes bring value, I just do not trust them at some point due to the fact that anyone could send random links cloaking it to be genuine when in fact not.

Personally, I do not join any kind of groups outside Facebook. Telegram groups are just too risky for my coins to be handled. Though an exception is if the moderator or the creator of the group is a forum member who has hundreds of positive trust.

OP, be careful in joining these kinds of groups in the future. Always be vigilant and avoid all of the shady tactics that these scammers employ. Remember that responsibility always starts with you- as prevention is better than cure.

If you are forced by someone to learn a somehow technical language, would you be willing to listen on their end?

The same goes for your uncles and grandparents. While the idea of sharing cryptocurrencies to people is the dream that we strive, we cannot force them to learn it if they personally shut themselves. Again, this is not for everyone- it takes a special person to fully grasp and understand the fundamentals and basics. Maybe they were right- you are indeed wasting your time by convincing them to learn.

Instead of telling it to them, channel your energy in sharing it with other people who are more curious and willing to learn about it. Create or join groups that asks for some discussions regarding BTC.

In addition to what you mentioned, there must also have a way for them to integrate BTC into their financials either by providing it as a means for alternative payment; or by using it primarily as their payment. In either cases, this involves using BTC as the medium of payment for their services/products on their respective businesses.

Though some might argue that this only involves a handful amount of people, but the fact that business owners are starting to adopt and adapt the use of cryptocurrencies is definitely a positive note that is welcomed in any time of the day.

Before, ni-limit ni coins.ph yung account verification ko since required daw ako mag submit ng extra KYC documents. After submitting, nalaman din nila na yung BTC ko ay nanggagaling sa isang gambling website kaya they temporarily blocked my account from receiving any BTC.

Na-circumvent ko ito by changing my wallet address sa signature campaign ko nun before to my BitPay tapos sinesend ko from BitPay to coins.ph yung transaction. This worked pero makikita nga natin na sobrang nag higpit na si coins.ph. According to coins.ph, ito sabi nila:


Kaya maging warning ito sa lahat na if affiliated kayo sa any gambling signature campaigns, wag niyo muna directly send sa coins.ph wallet address niyo as they may limit/block your account.

At first, I thought Tommy Fury would win judging on their physique. But I watched his previous fights and I could definitely say that Jake Paul has the upper hand.

The thing about Jake Paul is that he calculates the risks on his decision on the ring. He always make sure that he would win based on the scoring system, whereas Tommy is known on his aggressive and purely offense strategy. Though that may prove to be useful, I doubt that it will work against Jake Paul given the stakes that are present in this match.

Nevertheless, I would still watch this fight but I doubt that I would bet on the process. Still a very entertaining fight but not something that I would go crazy about.
