Good to hear that a lot of suspects involved in this Ponzi scheme were already caught. I think it will not take a long time before those other main suspects to get arrested as well. Imagine a single Ponzi scheme can defraud almost $3Billion, what more for other schemes still out there.

I have already seen a lot of similar news about scammers, so I think aside from arresting those suspects, the authorities should strengthen their awareness to the public about this kind of scheme to avoid more people getting victimized by these people.

If the number of cases in the US will continue to increase within the next months, I doubt that their economy will be able to recover within this year. However, the US can easily recover once this pandemic is done, but since the country is not showing any good sign in fighting the virus, it's like they will highly depend on the vaccine for the fast recovery of their economy.

But aside from the economic decline, I'm worried about the population if this virus will continue to spread. I mean, it's not a big percentage compare to the whole population, but the fact that already 100k+ of people died because of this in the US alone is a threat if it will last longer.

Magandang araw mga kabayan!

Kakatapos ko lang ulit iupdate ang mga list and nagdagdag din ako ng ibang users na nakita ko dito sa local natin. And, may mga iilang users sa list ang nagrank up and ang iba naman ay madaming nadagdag sa kanilang merit. I will keep the list updated and sana tuloy tuloy lang tayo maging active dito sa forum at sa local.

Stay safe na din mga kabayan lalo na ngayon na lumulubo lalo ang mga confirmed cases.

I think he's just really trying to connect crypto and blockchain to the fashion industry. It's kinda good at some point because they are trying to widen the adoption of blockchain and crypto in other industry.  But as I read the article, I feel like it will just be more complicated and there is no assurance that the crypto community or the public will show enough attention to this. Since they are just starting the industry, it will take a long time to know if they will do good or not. Also for a beginning brand, their shoes are quite pricey. But let's see what will happen.

Players have been probably missing poker tournaments since it has to stop due to the pandemic. Aside from that, operators and investors also need to resume because they also need income. Everyone wants to recover faster because if it will last, it will become harder for us.

Players can also enjoy tournaments while staying inside their houses. Even me, I'm already getting bored that's why I also gamble sometimes. But gambling to relieve stress is only for those who don't worry about the possible loss of funds. Because when you lose amidst the pandemic, it can cause more stress financially.

Scammers will always be there to take advantage of anything they can especially if it's getting the attention or hype if the people. But now that DeFi is recently getting the hype, we should be careful about trusting projects. You are also right that the hype for DeFi is not bad, you just need to make further research, not just following it without any background about a certain project. Even if there are real and good projects, there will always be a fake one that we cannot escape. If you're really looking for a good DeFi or any project, research is always necessary to avoid getting scammed by the fake ones.

There's a lot of information on the internet but it does not guarantee OP or every one of us that we can win in gambling after researching because luck will still be one of the factors. OP can find different strategies about gambling but it does not always work or something. What can probably help him when searching the internet, is how to be a responsible gamble to avoid addiction.

I guess OP is just asking for tips since he also mentioned he's using a strategy. And also asking for other games where he can make a profit.

Few hours ago, naglabas  ang DOH ng latest information tungkol sa COVID cases sa bansa. Almost 4,000 ang reported new cases ngayong araw, at mas lalo itong nakakabahala. Ngunit mas kapansin pansin yung 38,000+ na new recoveries. Sa unang tingin, nakakatuwa na makita ang ganito karaming recoveries. Pero ang sabi, inempliment nila ang "mass recovery" which is sinama sa recovery ang mga asymptomatic at mild cases.

Hindi ko maintindihan bakit kailangan isama sila sa recovies kung hindi naman talaga sila fullly recovered. Hindi ba parang mas makakapag pagulo lang ito sa actually active cases na meron tayo? Imbis na mass recovery, bakit hindi maimplement ang mass testing.

They can still earn income by using their knowledge and skills in a good and ethical manner. However, some people really want to earn big money so easily and I think that's the reason why hackers and scammers still choose to do it.

Scamming and hacking is indeed increasing because more people are getting into technology and the internet, and that's an opportunity for them. Especially now that we've seen a lot of similar cases recently, and for sure it will increase more.

Winning also varies if the game is based on luck or skills and if you have those.  Personally, I don't use any specific strategy when gambling, I just follow my intuition and go with the flow and do random strategies I could think when already playing. The same strategies don't always work all the time and for everyone, so it's hard to depend on fixed strategies.

If you are already contended playing or with your winnings, you can cash out. Cashing out depends on my mood and the situation as well.

It's not impossible but I think it's still vague as of now since a lot of countries are still not open to cryptocurrency and decentralization. Other countries will accept or already accepted it, but I doubt that all governments will agree with cryptocurrency.

If all countries would use crypto as an alternative currency, it will need a lot of time because it needs the government and the public's acceptance and understanding of what is a cryptocurrency and its essence. It's possible, but we never know when or if it will actually happen, but crypto is slowly moving towards mass adoption.

For me, maturity is not based on age. Even 18 or 21 years old above still can't handle emotions and their greed properly when it comes to gambling. However, if we are going to talk about the legal age, it usually starts at 18 years old and above. But in my country, you should be 21 to enter land-based casinos. It's really necessary to put an age limitation for this kind of entertainment because it may lead to bigger problems for the minors. But in other means of gambling such as online, usually, 18 is already allowed. But thinking about it, I feel like 18 is still a young age to get really into gambling since, in my country, this age range is still dependent on their parents.

Looking at the bigger picture, it's hard for me to imagine this concept in the corporate world simply because not all employees or workers will think of the benefit of the company as a whole. Usually, employees at the lower-level management would only think of themselves and their own benefits (if they are getting the right salaries and such) since it's not their job to focus on the company's status.

It's a nice idea to give every worker the same opportunity or right to vote for something. But since it's a business where they are competing in hundreds of other businesses in the industry, I think it's more appropriate to give that right to "vote" for those who have knowledge in that field or area.

It takes a lot of decision making what to do with the profits and how they will manage the flow of cash in business so just like what I said, it needs knowledge about a certain field. If all workers get a chance to choose what to do with the profit, I don't think companies will have a concrete plan on running the whole business.

With technological innovation, businesses really need that in order to operate smoothly. But it does not mean that it will replace employees because most jobs still require manpower and direct labor.

it's not that I'm completely disagreeing with this concept, I just can't picture it out yet. But I really got curious about that one video, I just find it too long to watch it right now. I will try watching it at another time and maybe it can change my perspective.

I really find it great that the gaming industry is now showing attention to blockchain and also starting to adopt it in the industry, as well as cryptocurrency. Online gaming is becoming more popular in the current generation and with this opportunity, I think it will give blockchain and crypto a little bit of spotlight for mass adoption.

However, I don't really expect that this will receive so much hype in e-sports (just because I feel like I have seen similar news but it did not receive much attention compared to the expectations). But regardless of that, it's still nice that they are open to innovation and this kind of adoption in the gaming industry.

I don't think it's planned or something since even before the halving, there's already a lot of fake or scam giveaways happening in big social media platforms. It's just that, there was a recent hacking incident with big accounts on twitter. Now we are seeing more victims falling with this scamming because almost everyone is on their social media accounts that's why scammers and hackers are using this as an opportunity. As for the victims, I think the current pandemic also contributes because people need more income that's why they are being greedy and easily believing in giveaways.

Both links given by OP were already removed by YouTube.

Fake giveaways and scammers are really rampant especially in popular and big social media because they can attract more possible victims to lure. We have recently heard about Twitter hacking, now on YouTube, I bet there are giveaways like this also on Facebook. Not everyone is knowledgable about this kind of scamming tricks, that's why like what I said before, it's better for these popular social media platforms to take action and always warn their users about scammers. And we can also do our part by reporting them to prevent them from fooling more people.

I don't think what he said is such a big deal since it was just a short statement about the Twitter hacking issue. Although based on what he said, we can say that he perhaps lacks knowledge about bitcoin since it was short yet misleading.

We know that bitcoin is usually involved in a lot of scamming or illegal activities. It's really difficult to change the mindset of the majority about bitcoin when all they hear and see on the news are those negative things.

I tried checking the link but it says that the video was already removed since it violates the community guidelines of Youtube. I also can't find the fake channel, I guess it already got removed by YouTube. If that's the case, I think youtube is now stepping up and taking actions with this kind of scamming tricks due to some related issues.

Imagine the number of people who watched that live stream, they could have scammed a lot of people. But it's good that YT already took it down. It just shows how many people can get fooled by scammers making fake accounts and fake giveaways in popular platforms.

Tama naman. Kung malaki talaga ang kinikita ng isang online seller, okay lang na lagyan ng tax. Habang tumatagal kasi, nag iinovate tayo kaya marami na rin ang nag o-online selling (hindi lang dahil may pandemic). Kung hindi ito lalagyan ng tax, maaaring lumipat ang karamihan online. Hindi naman kasi pag sinabing tax sa online selling ay kabilang na lahat ng nagtitinda online. Syempre, depende pa rin ito sa laki ng kanilang income. Parehas rin naman ito sa mga business physically na kailangan magparegister at magbayad ng tax. Ang pinagkaiba lang is online, so hindi dapat mag-alala o magalit ang iba about dito kasi kailangan ito para gumalaw ang ekonomiya ng bansa.

It's a nice song but since it's a rap song, I actually prefer it when it's faster.  Ain't a big fan of rap songs but what I usually hear with rap songs is that they have a faster flow that is why when I listened to it, I feel like it's kinda slow so I tried playing it at 1.25x speed and I liked it better. I don't know if it's just me, but I think you guys should also try playing it at that speed.

But overall, it's a nice song and I like the lyrics as well. Never expect it would be this good.
