Obviously, I enjoy playing online because that's where I mostly gamble. I occasionally gamble physically but have not tried going to a big casino place so I don't really have experience with the perks of casinos. I enjoyed staying at home and gamble online since it's the place where I am comfortable the most. And I don't have to worry about the time and money since I can stop whenever I want to.

Though I know that there are also perks of playing in a real casino that I can't experience online, I am satisfied with online because I don't really give much time and money on gambling like the others. But if given a chance to experience a physical casino with my friends, I would be glad to try it.

These restrictions are for everyone's safety so what's the matter if you can't go and live the way you like as of the moment? You know there's a pandemic, after this, then you can go outside without wearing a mask and do what you want. And why would they allow stealing? If you think carefully, there's a reason why there are restrictions and limitations to what you can do freely.

Removing the pandemic, even if there are restrictions like that, you can still do a lot of things that you want. The hindrance is not the law or the government, it's yourself. If you want to do something, then do it, you can't do things if you won't work for it. For me, there's nothing wrong with it, because it does not harm anyone, in fact, these rules are implemented to protect people. We just need to understand that there is a virus spreading that is why we can't go outside, but after this, we can go back living our normal lives and do what we want.

He chooses to work full time like that and throw away his profession. It's kinda disappointing that he wasted his time studying medicine to just let go of his medical career. But it's his choice after all if he thinks he can be a millionaire by doing it than pursuing his profession, let him. About his dislike towards bitcoin, we can't force everyone to like it since it's a personal perspective. Simply just like you, you don't like the idea of MLM but you believe in bitcoin.

What I don't like about this story is that he uses the money of his friends for his own benefit but his friends received no return. And if it involves a big amount of money, why they just let that happen and did not report it or something? I feel bad for his friends who trusted him and made an investment and gained nothing. The reason why sometimes even it's your "friend", it's hard to trust them especially when it's money-related. For me, the issue here is not that he doesn't like bitcoin, it's actually how he deceived his friends for money and then saying they are stupid for believing him.

We all have different ways of escaping reality. Escaping reality for a while is not bad, even gambling as long as you know how to control yourself. You are right that gambling won't solve our problems but sometimes it's good to forget about your worries for a while, and do what you want. You can't just stress yourself thinking about your problem every time, we also need to have fun.

Although gambling is not my escapism, I am not against those who gamble to escape reality because that's their way of enjoying. But of course, gambling can also add our problem that's why even if it's your escapism, you still need to gamble moderately. They can gamble if they want, it's not bad. What makes it a bad thing is because of too much greed. Just because you can forget your problems when gambling, it does not mean that you will just gamble every time. Continuously escaping problems won't be any good.

Dahil narin ito sa kolonyalismo.  Ang English ay ang ating second language at kinalakihan na din natin ang pag gamit nito. Mula pagkabata, tinuturuan na tayong mag English, dahil para sa kanila mukha kang matalino pag marunong mag English. Siguro naging stereotype na din ang ganitong thinking. Mahirap na mawala ito dahil ito na ang nakasanayan. Hindi lang naman sa language, kung titignan ay masyado na din tayong nasasakop ng mga foreign countries sa iba't-ibang aspeto. Isa pa ay kailangan din nating mag English sa labas ng local board kaya siguro ay nasasanay na din tayong haluan ng English ang mga post natin sa local board at kadalasan ng ating talakayan ay ginagamitan ng mga teknikal sa salita na masasabi lamang sa English. 

Tungkol naman sa mga newbie na hindi gaanong kaactive sa local board, napapansin ko rin ito. Sa tingin ko, ito ang namimiss ng ibang mga newbie kasi para sa akin ay mas magandang maging active ka muna sa local board habang newbie ka pa. Kasi mas madaling makisama sa mga kababayan at maaari kang magtanong ng mga hindi mo pa naiintindihan ng lubusan. Kumbaga, hindi mo poproblemahin ang language sa pagtatanong dahil maaari kang tulungan ng nga kababayan mo.

Kagabi nag salita ulit ang presidente natin ukol sa kinakaharap natin epidemya at sinabi nya na tutol siya sa pagbubukas ng klase dahil nandon pa rin yung panganib na mainfect mga estudyante na papasok sa mga paaralan at unibersidad. At, ang pinaparating nya talaga dito ay mas mainam na unahin ang kapakanan at kalusugan ng mga estudyante and para sa akin medyo pabor naman ako dito dahil isa rin akong estudyante and may kapatid din akong nag-aaral .

Para sa akin, hindi naman lahat ng mga estudyante ay ginagamit ang time ngayon para lang maglaro dahil may iilan ay mas pinipili pa rin ang mag aral ng mga bagay na gusto pa nila matutunan. And, nasa atin na rin siguro ito kung gagamitin natin ang free time sa makabuluhang bagay. And, mas mainam na talaga muna na talakayin yung vaccine sa virus para wala ng takot ang mga estudyante kung magreresume yung mga klase.


Pero salungat naman sa nais ng presidente, ayon kay Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, safe daw iresume Ang klase sa August 24.

Pag-aaralan pa lang pero nasabi na nyang ligtas ang pag bubukas ng klase sa susunod na pasukan. Masyado itong nakakabahala para sa kaligtasan ng mga kabataan. Una, hindi lahat ng paaralan ay kayang i-accomodate ang mga estudyante habang ipinapatupad ang social distancing sa buong facilities. Maraming estudyante ang umaasa lamang sa public schools para makapag aral at alam naman nating laging siksikan ang mga estudyante sa mga pampublikong paaralan.

Ang pag reresume ng mga klase sa kalagitnaan ng epidemya ay isa talagang malaking sugal para sa kalusugan ng mga mamamayan pati na din sa ekonomiya. Sana naman ay pag isipan nang mabuti ni Duque ang mga iba't-ibang posibilidad bago magdesisyon. Madaling sabihin na ligtas ito, pag nasa sitwasyon na tayo ay malaki ang chance na mas lalong dadami ang positive cases. Ngayon pa nga lang na karamihan ay naka quarantine, patuloy pa rin ang pag dami, pano pa kung palalabasin ang mga kabataan? Ganito ang pinlano ng South Korea pero mukhang mahirap pa rin na magtagumpay na maging ligtas ang mga kabataan sa pag bukas ng klase.

Even some countries who are not in lockdown, they still avoid making or going to crowded places to follow the protocol. In Korea, you will get hated if you go to a club amidst the pandemic. And I think even if the country is positive with fighting the virus, they still have to keep distancing. So I guess it will be really hard to reopen casinos even if the country has a low infected case because it might be the cause to increase it.

I guess online gambling is really the best solution for gamblers.

What if the vaccine can't be made sooner? That's a big problem for us. Not just because we want to gamble, but because it's hard to go back to work properly, knowing that there is still a virus. We have to stop working, but the expenses don't stop.

It would be a great celebration. But I wonder when will can we celebrate? The end of the virus is still vogue since there's still no more or vaccine. Countries are working together, participating in finding the vaccine but they can't still find any. I hope that someone can already find the cure so everything will go back to normal again.

These kinds of people what I really hate. Even in my country, there are people like that. Just because they are a government official and have the authority, they think it's okay for them to violate the law. It's really ironic because they are the ones making the ordinance, and supposed to make everyone follow it but they are the ones disobeying it. They are not an exemption to the law.

I hope higher authorities would take action towards this and punish them. If they get infected by the virus and they start spreading it to other people, it will be a huge problem. The virus does not choose whom to get affected, they should be careful with their actions. The more they do this, normal citizens won't be afraid to violate rules also because they are seeing even the authorities are doing it.

Good for him that he already has knowledge about cryptocurrency and bitcoin at the age of 12, and also that he's already thinking about investment. Usually, at that age, you will just think of buying things that you like. But in his case, he used the money given to him to invest in bitcoin. He's already lucky to receive such a huge amount of money at a young age for his birthday.

The story is already inspiring and it can teach us to think about our future. Investing is really a big thing that can help us secure our future. But it would be more inspiring if the money he used to invest was his own hard-earned money. But I can say that he's really good at managing his investment that it was again to grow like that. But overall, it still gives a lesson that we should use our money wisely, and let's not waste the opportunity over greed. We can buy more things we want if we think practically.

It might really take time before America can finally get back what they have lost during this pandemic since they are hugely affected by this. But it's not only America since a lot of countries are also facing the same dilemma. It might take 5 years if the vaccine can't be found immediately, and the government won't work efficiently to fight against the pandemic.

I kinda agree that America can still stand despite the big losses brought by the virus. When they can finally stabilize the growth of COVID cases and as long as they can adapt living normally with extra caution even when there's still a virus, the economy won't crash that hard. If they can learn from other countries who manage to control and flatten the curve, America can lessen its possible losses.

I see the point that bitcoin can be a good way or alternative currency amidst the pandemic, also the point that digital transactions may help to prevent the virus from spreading. But I don't think that everyone is still capable of adapting these changes. From what I can see, there's a lot of problems we can face once the majority move from physical to digital transactions such as cryptocurrency.

Online transactions may be one of the prevention but there are lots of ways to make online transactions, it's not only crypto. If people would adapt digitally, it's more likely to be cards or e-wallets. Maybe in the next years or decade, cryptocurrency will get more recognition, but for now, the benefits we see of bitcoin and crypto during this pandemic is still limited to us who've been using it even before.

Congratsss @1miau


Thank you!!!!

That is what the basic things that you really need to do in order to earn merit. But I want to say that you don't just aim to be a legendary member here in the forum, aim to gain and increase our knowledge about crypto at blockchain. This forum is just one of the places that can help us in our journey but there's a lot more to discover. I have already seen a lot of similar threads on how to earn merits, and I bet most of us already know what should we supposed to do to achieve higher ranks. We are aware of these criteria but being a Legendary Member is not easy because it takes a lot of effort and dedication into it.

What we really need to earn merit is to gain knowledge first. We can't make a good contribution if we know nothing.  Although you don't have merits yet, you are already aware of how to earn. Thank you for your tips and I hope to see you with merits by applying these lists you made.

@Shimmiry nagsearch ako dito sa forum and may nakita ako na thread sa local natin na about sa MACD and ito yung thread Ano nga ba ang MACD?. AFIAK, lahat naman ng trading platform ay may mga ganitong indicators and may mga kabayan tayo dito na magaling sa mga ganitong bagay and siguro mag-hihintay na rin ako ng pinaka recommended nila dahil gusto ko rin matuto ng ganitong bagay and tinigilan ko kasi ang pag aaral sa ganito dahil sobrang busy din.

Ito po yung threadna sinasabi ko @john1010 ko at noong nabasa ko ito nagdalawang isip talaga kung mag iinstall ba ako ng kanilang application. Btw, sa kapatid ko nalang pinainstall yung applicatio ng Pi network and nakakatakot din kung sa cp ko iinstall dahil nandito pa naman yung mga wallet at private key ko.

It's still hard to live without banks because until now, people are dependent on it and with fiat. Also, the fact that the government won't allow removing the bank and paper money. The bank plays an important role in the economy, it's not just about printing and making paper money. As long as people are receiving and making transactions using paper money, banks will be there. Even with cards, they are the one who is decreasing your money when you buy things using your card.

If everyone will be using decentralized crypto for every transaction, then I think it will be possible to live without banks. But the idea of decentralized crypto as the main currency is still quite impossible to happen.

I admire how much dedication you put here in the forum to be able to achieve that rank that fast. Imagine, with a short span of time, you were able to rank up from Senior Member to a Hero Member. Every time I see users here telling their story, it really amazed me to see how much dedication and efforts they are giving here in the forum.

I am already a Senior Member though I'm still wondering if I could also reach that rank within this year. Whether I will reach it or not, I will still put my effort just to contribute here in the forum, although I know I'm still lacking a lot, and still need to learn more about crypto and blockchain as well. But anyway, I really want to congratulate you OP on that achievement. Like what I always say, you would not reach that rank if you are not deserving. Congrats!

We can have a different meaning or perspective about gambling but I think we will all agree that gambling includes risking. For me, [gambling is an activity where we risk something valuable to us in exchange for winning or acquiring something that is also valuable].

We can have an objective and subjective definition of gambling depending on our experiences. And what I have said above is the objective meaning of gambling for me. While subjective thoughts, gambling is for leisure and entertainment. I find gambling entertainment and a way to pass the time. Gambling is not a bad activity, it only looks like a bad thing because of how people can be affected by this if they cannot handle their own emotions and desires.
