About Nesthy Petecio winning a second Gold for the country, I can't help but laugh at the memes circulating lately. The private sponsors who gave Hidilyn cash/non-cash gifts are sweating because they have to do the same for Neshy.

On a serious note, this is probably the golden age for Philippine Olympics that will be hard to replicate in the future. I hope the next administrations can maintain or improve training facilities all around the country and provide additional funding to our athletes.

Teaser for the boss raid is out https://t.me/mydefipet_news/353

There's no exact date yet but it's gonna happen next month.

NFT gaming with P2E feature is the trend right now thanks to the popularity of Axie. However, let's not discredit the projects that follows especially if they provide better gaming experience.

Maybe MDP team will do the same. The marketplace isn't open yet.

^ No doubt the free WOF spins from the daily promotional emails, the deposit bonuses, and the perks of being a premium member have boosted my RP rewards. It was less than 5K IIRC before I started taking advantage of the promotions. It's now up to 50K+. Depending on my luck, I could reach the minimum 100K before the year ends.

By using side chains that has smart contract capability like Liquid. You can read more from this topic - NFT's on Bitcoin, why is no one doing this

With all the hype surrounding NFTs, I find blockchain gaming as the only practical application. It will probably have more long term success than those hyped painting and digital drawings (.jpeg).

I just checked the fee and they spent $0.24 for my transaction (15 gwei gas price and 150K gas limit). That would have instantly confirmed because the standard is still 5 gwei. That makes me think that it's probably on the part of their personnel who reviews all these withdrawals that's slow.

The USDT (BEP20) withdrawal is taking longer than I'm expecting. It's probably more than ten minutes already since I made the request. I can understand that the BSC network could be congested sometimes but they're charging 0.5 USDT fee. They can easily spend half of that for faster transaction.

So the latest updates:

DPET (BEP-20) is already listed on Kucoin. Live trading started an hour ago https://trade.kucoin.com/DPET-USDT. They will also support KRC-20 but I don't know when. It's soon according to the announcement. This will be very convenient for crypto newbies and veterans alike (no need to go through different trades).

MDP also releasing some sneak peeks of the boss raid and the market place.

I guess it's safe to say exciting times ahead.

The importance of stable coins have been more evident to me when I saw many newbie enter crypto because of the P2E trend that was made more popular by blockchain game called Axie.

I witnessed how many of these P2P sellers would charge more fee for fiat/coin pair over fiat/stable coin. I understand that sellers have to take into account the volatility and charge it to the other party for price protection but that's not good on the side of buyers (especially newbies).

I'm surprised the Tokyo box has not been sold out yet since I bought yesterday. You should check that out if you haven't seen it yet (priced at 0.0015 ETH). I just used my reward that I accumulated to buy that. Not a bad deal I guess.

If you place a value on BTC based on fiat like USD, it should be clear that the only reason the price is rising (in USD) is because more people are buying it in USD. So yeah, the more BTC is viewed as a profitable investment by the masses, the more it pumps.

I haven't traded on ethereum based platforms for a long time but I have to agree that gas limit depends on the number of routes the swap has to go through. It's the same case with BSC and other blockchains I've used so far.

If swappng the same type of token for ETH, gas fee should be not that far. I know Uniswap has done some improvements also to compete with other L2 solutions.

Maybe a few users will leave. Binance is already at a stage where most of their users were probably verified. Late/New crypto traders are not the same as the early enthusiasts. They are after the money and not necessarily about privacy/anonymity.

I've been using the binance Dapp on Safepal.io mobile app for my trades with no identity verification required. I'm not sure if that will also affect the withdrawal limit but that's something you can also try.

The reduction is probably connected to the investigation on BlockFi.

I'm not familiar of platforms that offers a single staking pool for a stable coin other than these custodial services but there are some Yield Farming that has stable coin pair LP. One of which is ApeSwap.

• BUSD-USDC: 11.78% APR
• BUSD-DAI: 13.64% APR
• BUSD-USDT: 11.74% APR

If you're interested in lending pools, Alpaca offers some good rates as well:

• BUSD - 10.2% APY
• USDT - 12.4% APY
• TUSD - 12.3% APY

@bittawm has written a review on Alpaca https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350183.msg57502634#msg57502634

I'm curious how this works. Can you give me a basic explanation on how scammers can take over your wallet with a different RPC? I'm pretty sure some readers would be interested to know as well.

I'm familiar with phishing links and those fake wallet connect services that tricks you to authorize sending tokens to the scammer.

^ Can we also assume that many traders/speculators are content with leaving their money on exchanges? They can deposit fiat or stable coins > buy bitcoin > let it sit there for a while or withdraw using an altcoin like xrp/doge. Exchanges do not have to compete with other users and we know that it's them that usually use high fees for BTC transactions

^ That's currently the error I'm seeing on my screen when I try to log in. Anyone else have the same issue?

It was nice to see some changes in the ranking system.

I'm still waiting for changes in he sportsbook like enabling BFG token betting ang allow mining. Has anyone asked the reason why in their telegram and/or live support?

Well, there's always politics in every organization but I think it was lessen with the takeover of the new admin. The bigger problem lies on the budget allocated for the entire sports industry and that starts from Congress.

They were given funds by the Government and, AFAIK, it's much higher than what athletes were receiving from previous administrations. Unfortunately, it's still lower to what athletes in developed countries get. Let's also point out that training facilities in the country were improved.
 
But enough of that...let's focus on the historic victory and look forward to the future of Philippine sports. I hope they get a bigger chunk of the national budget after this inspirational win.

^ He's lacking the fight IQ I guess?

He could have won the TUF finale against Gastelum. He had him curled up on the ground and all he had to do is pounce but I don't know what he was thinking when he allowed Kevin to get up. This was just at the top of my head (I was trying to search their fight on YT but couldn't find it).

What do you prefer? One day 10% red and then 20% red after one week? That is favorable for people who DCA but I think it's still too early to build up volume in preparation for the next halving's bull run.

For me, mid-2022 is the better time to start accumulating but nobody really knows. It's possible that the lows for next year would be higher than today's prices.

I would probably prefer to be paid in fiat in full because I'm already familiar with how to trade/convert to crypto at anytime. I mean I can buy more BTC if I do it on my own rather than through a payment processor that takes a higher service fee than my usual exchange.
