True, it's not like people are being forced to invest in a certain project anyway. Like, If you don't want the project because of its anonymous team, then don't even bother. Investors have the freedom to choose just like how this teams have the freedom to hide their anonymity. It's not like those team who give their identities are 100% legit anyway.

Anonymous or not, it's still the same for me. Always be vigilant.

Ang problema kasi is ang mga main topics talaga na patungkol sa Bitcoin ay nasa labas ng board natin kaya hindi talaga maiiwasan na most of the time ay tambay ang mga pinoy outside Pilipinas board kaya wala din masyadong magagawa kahit na masanay tayo dito sa local board. Tyaka mapapansin mo na mailap ang mga bagong topic dito kaya onti ng activities which kaya sinasabi nila na onti ang merit.

I can't say you're wrong since it's really a waste of time to do something here in the crypto space that isn't really compatible with the current technology.

Though we can't say that it will never work because technology is being developed continuously even as we speak, so maybe it will not work now but it might work in the future. AI is getting traction nowadays so it'll we might see a breakthrough one of this days.

As for gold backed stablecoins, I agree that most are scams but there are some that is actually backed by real gold just like GOLD where you can see actually the certificate and the audit of the gold stored 24/7.

I'm glad nakatulong. I wasn't aware sa thread mo kaya salamat dito. Madami pa palang websites na nag ooffer ng mga free courses.

Speaking of Free courses. May mga groups akong nakikita na nagbibigayan ng mga courses na mga paid but promo nila is free or discounted for a limited time, i-popost ko din ito dito kapag nakasali nako sa group nila at na test ko na.

Edit: So far legit naman itong 2 group na ito at nakakuha ako ng course na may certificate.

I'm not a fan of telegram pero salamat dito paps, dagdag sa collection ko haha.

I think OP should also mention where is the hotspot for this kind of scams. As far as I know, this was pretty common back in 2017 and most of the time, they are spreading their private key in telegram server. I don't know about now though since I stopped using telegram and I never see this trick in discord.

I have to admit I've fallen for it once. Good thing I immediately noticed that this wallet was programmed to automatically send excess balance to scammers.

Napansin ko na ang daming libreng mga courses sa Udemy na makakatulong sa journey nyo dito sa Bitcointalk, mapa programming man or trading or overall knowledge sa cryptocurrency. May chance na ang iba sa inyo ay hindi ito alam. Sobrang dali lang naman nila makuha.

Agree, baka dahil narin sa hindi masyadong sikat ang Bitcoin at ang forum na ito sa mga Pilipino. Alam mo na, hindi masyadong educated sa technology ang mga Pilipino lalo na sa cryptocurrency. Nasa topic na din siguro kaya bakit walang masyadong Pinoy dito.

For example, sa phcorner (Pwede ba sabihin yung name nito?) andaming Pinoy dun kasi ang daming benefits. Ang mga topics nila is free internet, tips and tricks, computer related stuff na makakatulong nga naman talaga sa pang araw-araw na buhay ng mga Pinoy. Nako lalo't sikat na sikat ang free internet dito sa bansa. Kumpara natin ito sa Bitcointalk na puro cryptocurrency lang ang pinag-uusapan.

Sana nga ay magkaroon ng off-topic dito ulit sa board natin. Ang daming nangyayaring balita sa bansa natin ngayon na masarap pag-usapan.


Kung ganoon nga ay sana may mag organize.

If a project demands anything besides your wallet address then it's not airdrop anymore but a bounty campaign. Immediately stay away from this kind of things. It's pretty common sense at this point that we shouldn't just send away our money to something claiming to give something more valuable. Airdrop is a form of marketing, they should shoulder the gas fee if they want people to use their coin/token.

You can see what is his intentions when you read his posts and his whitepapers regarding Bitcoin, it's up to the people to formulate something about it. He left but at the same time he gave us freedom on what we should do and it should be kept that way. This is why people use Bitcoin, it can be used in anything that people want to.

What more can he say? what more can he defend? How is this "encouragement" going to help us anyway and what type of encouragement is this? is it like a statement saying good things about how Bitcoin will help people blah blah blah? do you really think it's important at this point? I don't think so.

People already saw the potential of Bitcoin, people already saw what Bitcoin can do and why is it that way, and how we can use it. At this point Satoshi can just sit back and relax and see how will Bitcoin flourish through the years.

I didn't know this is possible. In fact this thing haven't crossed my mind so I'm very thankful for this thread because as of now, the only way I can find a way is to directly tell them and teach them to use cryptocurrency.

But if I were to suddenly die, I've already prepared something in my computer that will help them inherit my cryptocurrencies (assuming that they know how to use my computer).

I mean, if he merits his own project, wouldn't the meaning behind that merit be obsolete? that is just straight up wasting merit that should be given to those who really deserves it. He is even bias to those who shills his coin. Like come on look at this, does this really deserves 21 merits?


Even some useful guides I know doesn't get that much.

Try mo ang Albra wallet paps. I think 30 cryptocurrencies na ang available sa wallet nila at mayroon atang $5 minimum para sa exchange nila according sa website https://support.abra.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000561791-Does-Abra-have-a-minimum-transaction-amount (I'm just not sure kung accurate ito). Hindi lang iyon, nag ooffer din sila sa mga cryptocurrency ng up to 9% interest rate sa mga holders which is magandang offer sa mga mahilig sa passive income. May available din silang exchange para sa mga fiats.

I'm not an Abra user but nakikita ko namang maganda ang reviews nila.

Yup. Merit source talaga din talaga ang nakikita kong main reason kung bakit karamihan sa mga tao ay tinatamad maging active dito. Kung mapapansin mo sa ibang lokal, sagana sila mag bigay ng mga merit sa kung kani-kanino lang na parang like sa facebook. But of course yung may mga sense.

But, feeling ko sa arabic section is talagang tulungan sila para makaangat sa rank. Kahit mga discussions na hindi masyadong nakakatulong sa karamihan ay binibigyan nila ng merit. Napansin ko din na sobrang active ng local moderator nila na nakakasagana nga naman talaga sa mga local members.


Ito nga ay nag tatanong lang pero binigyan parin siya ng merit. Bihira mo lang ito makita sa ibang lugar.





PS: Just want to ask, may merit source ba tayo dito? kung meron, sino iyon? Medyo late nako sa balita.

I kind of see your point since the bounty section is plague with threads made with Newbie-Jr. member. I even saw rows of campaigns being managed by newbies. But this ranks like Jr. member or copper member doesn't necessarily mean that they are scammers. Maybe they just want to join the campaign managing business and we all know that ranking up is hard without merits so that explains why they are stuck at Jr. Member. It's not like people would be stupid enough to not research the projects these managers are managing.

I think what you should be more aware of are bought full member accounts and up. Most scammers use this ranks to appeal to more audience.

I think basing popularity here in Bitcointalk would make more sense if you count it by how much users engage in it, at least basing on the very definition of "Popularity" from google. Views can be repeated and people can look but not care.

Hmm I don't think so. This is just an opinion of an individual, that doesn't really sums up anything. I think it's still pretty financially irresponsible to put all your egg into one basket. Yeah sure cryptocurrency is a booming business right now but that doesn't really factor out the fact that cryptocurrency is the most volatile market and doesn't really guarantee profit even today.

https://www.coindesk.com/bank-of-russia-chief-talks-digital-ruble-sees-pilot-in-2021 Based on this news article, It's most likely that they are going to make a centralized digital currency and I think there's no chance that it's going to be a stablecoin since they didn't specifically said "cryptocurrency" but instead "Digital currency", not even a centralized cryptocurrency like XRP.

With that, I wouldn't really see this as a positive news on crypto space.

I guess it's inevitable. The authority really can't rule out the possibility of money laundering in mixers. I think the first mistake he made is that he wasn't able to hide his identity or his location. I mean, he's unregistered and his service is suspicious, it's not too long until they sniff him out.

This news might serve as a warning to mixer operators.

Solid tong thread mo boss. Swak na swak na guide para sa mga newbies na nagbabalak gumamit ng Binance P2P. Next guide naman sakaling kung gagawa ka ulit ng guide, sana ituro mo naman yung Binance savings para sa mga gusto ng free airdrop at passive income . Maraming d nakakaalam na kahit 0.1 BNB lang ang stake mo, may free airdrop parin.  (Gagawa sana ako kaso d kaya ng oras  )

Can't say it's useless, at least in this forum though because high merit = high rank = high reward = more opportunity. Nonetheless, you are right that we aren't obligated to give him any merits just because he predicted something but Isn't this a case of merit begging? this is bannable right?
