I think it's illegal in most countries that's why it is not that popular in other countries. But in the Philippines, I think it remains legal because it's already popular for decades, and I think it also becomes a part of the tradition. In addition to that is that the government is also earning from it.

I think most Filipinos have at least one person they personally know that is into cockfighting. And the fact that gamblers would still arrange a cockfighting event in the middle of the pandemic even if it's not allowed, it just shows how popular it is in our country that gamblers would risk their lives for it.

Aside from that, since the casino was operating illegally, whether gamblers know it or not, they are still liable for gambling in that casino. And I doubt that all those who gamble in that casino had no idea that they were operating illegally, so probably they knew it yet still keep on gambling. So I can't say that all of their customers were just a victim since they are still responsible for what they are doing. Perhaps they knew that it is being protected by higher officials that they are also not afraid that the online casino will get busted.

Sa aking naalala may nabasa lang ako sa thread ng coins.ph and nalock yung account nya and not sure kung about yung sa withdrawal na malaki kasi sabi nya may funds pa yun or iba yung issue. May kakilala rin ako nagsubmit ulit ng KYC after nya maglabas ng pera sa coins.ph pero di nya sinabi yung exact amount pero ang sabi nya lang is malaki. Wala pa akong naexperience dahil wala naman akong kalaking pera and sa tingin ko naman talagang magiging question kung malaking pera ang ilalabas mo? Pakitama nalang po ako @vaculin kung may mali sa aking mga nasabi.

Most countries are now at the beginning phase of recovering from what we have lost during the months of lockdown. They can't let the economy stopped working for a long time because it will just affect everyone living in that area. As I have noticed from other countries, businesses are starting to operate again with strict protocols implementing to protect everyone. I guess that's how we can recover from the losses. It may not be for the long term solution because it can cause more positive cases, but there's no other solution while we are still waiting for the vaccine.

I think in the Philippines, we have not controlled this pandemic since it keeps on increasing, it's just that we are slowly getting used to the fact that there is a virus and we can't do anything but to keep living.

That's great if you going to add more money in Binance coin and in fact, I'm also a holder of BNB and I'm adding it little by little. We can really say that Binance exchange is one of the best exchanges in the crypto world and aside from that, you can also see a lot of great features on their trading platform. I can say that Binance is also good for long term investment just like bitcoin so, there's no doubt in the next coming years you will see more improvement in its price and also on their exchange as well. Of course, we can't really trust all exchange that's why we should not leave any funds in an exchange because there's a possibility that it can be lost or can be hacked.

But for me, the best altcoins so far are Ethereum, Binance coin, Elrond.

That's true, makikita mo ito sa mga social media and kahit isang search mo lang sa Facebook ng word "forsage" ay marami ka ng agad makikita. May iilan na rin naglapag ng link ng forsage sa mga telegram na kasali ako and marami agad sumita sa kanila dahil alam ng ilang miyembro don na ito ay isang scam. Mukhang marami ng Pilipino na nahulog dito dahil kahit saang social media platform ay nag iinvite sila and may mga friend din ako sa facebook na iniinvite ng ibang investors sa forsage para din mag invest.

Ito ata yung site ng ponzi scheme na yan:


Kitang-kita naman kung gaano kalaking Ethereum ang kinikita ng iba dyan and not sure kung totoo ito pero kung ganito ang ipapakita sa mga naiinvite or iniinvite nila paniguradong agad-agad silang sasali. Sana wala ditong member na nag-invest dito and mainam na iwasan nalang yung ganitong investment.

It's the downside of letting kids be addicted to gadgets at a young age. It may not involve monetary rewards like in real gambling, kids can still be addicted to games that they can bring once they grow up.

But one thing is that, even if the game is not intended for minors, once it gets popular, minors will still play it since it's accessible. So it's already outside of the hand of the developer nor the government. The regulation should be implemented by their parents. Also, kids won't be able to spend money on loot boxes if their parents didn't allow them in the first place. Kids still find it hard to control their emotions so once they start spending money on certain entertainment, it will be hard for them to resist doing it again.

Just a few days ago, the U.S. reached it's highest daily recorded cases of COVID with over 40,000 cases so we cannot say that they are suddenly recovering since they are still in the middle of fighting against the virus. The graph is more likely showing that businesses and the economy are starting to reopen again to recover what they have lost in the economy during the lockdown. So basically, it's like that they are still at the starting point.

But looking at the graph you provided, well, I guess it's a good sign for recovering. But if they failed to protect the people and handle the virus since they are already reopening businesses, I don't think their recovery phase will last longer. A lot of workers are still suffering from unexpected job losses due to the pandemic, and if it continues to increase, it may get worse.

Totoo yan kabayan mahigpit na ngayon ang coins.ph lalo kung maglalabas ka ng malaking amount ng pera or nagkaroon ng malaking transaction. Marami na ang gumagamit ng Binance para sa P2P trading and wala pa naman akong nakikitang issue or error about dito kaya sobrang smooth kung ikaw man ay bibili ng bitcoin gamit. Maganda talaga kung hindi lang bitcoin ang maari ng natin bilhin and sana sa mga susunod na buwan magdagdag pa sila ng ibang cryptocurrency. Malabong mawalan ang coins.ph ng mga users and sa tingin ko marami pa rin ang tatangkilik sa wallet na ito kahit minsan ay nagkakaroon ng mga issue/error.

That's a nice initiative OP. Teaching them about bitcoin is just like the same with how teachers teach them with the lesson. Obviously, starting from the introduction, the basics, and slowly moving into the technical part. Also, don't forget about the application of bitcoin and crypto in real life.

But I think you don't have to worry about the topics you will discuss that much, as long as they can understand the lesson because they are already graduating students and for sure, they already have a better understanding. And if they are really interested, they can make their own research. Btw, I also want to know what will happen to your discussion, so please update us.

Scammers really use this kind of trick to lure people to play on their websites. I have seen similar stories and approaches like this here in the forum, so you will already notice if the message is suspicious or not. A moderator himself, asking random people to deposit and play, promising to make them win and then asking half of the jackpot. That's already suspicious. People shouldn't fall for this "easy money" because you will just end up losing everything. It's better to report and ignore random messages from a stranger, especially like what OP received.

Btw, thanks for informing us here since we never know if someone would actually fall for those scammers. There's already a lot of messages like this in Telegram so I just ignore them.

Chess still gets audiences but even the audiences remain quiet and just looking and waiting for the next move of the players. While in e-sports, even the audience can feel the excitement of the players, so there's really a big difference.

That's why we don't usually see chess in betting sites because it's not that exciting compared to others. You won't find the excitement of watching a game especially when you don't know how to play it. Unlike in other e-sports, even with no knowledge about it, you will still kinda understand the game. It's more thrilling because it has more action compared to chess, and chess requires a lot of thinking about the next move you'll do while in other e-sports, you just keep on moving.

Here's my entry. Please excuse my voice, and it's not as good compared to others but I really tried my best.

Thank you!!!!!

Basically, I survive by just investing in the top coins which are profitable for me and there's plenty of ways to survive on this current situation of the market. You just need to be good at investing and never ever invest in sh*t/scam projects so you can still earn profit even though there's a bloody market. For me, the bounty project is still somehow profitable because until now you can still find a legit project out there but we all know that there are more failed/scam projects than the legit ones. You can also see that many bounty hunters still participate in bounty projects so it means they are still earning profit from it, but I guess it's not totally a big profit compared to the amount of time and effort they exert to do the tasks.

And as of now, I'm participating in a signature campaign that pays me in bitcoin and this thing also helps me to survive in this current situation of the market and it can help me to add little capital to my investment.

It depends because although e-sports are starting to gain more attention, traditional sports events remain popular. A lot of people are already into e-sports that's why e-sport gambling is also becoming in demand but I doubt that everyone will shift from sports betting to e-sports. The two will remain popular because gamblers can be a fan of both. It's just that, we cannot have the usual sports event we had before because of the pandemic that's why a lot of gamblers are moving in e-sports. But once everything comes back to normal, they will still receive the same attention they used to have.

Let's expect that e-sports events and betting will be really popular because of technology. But since it has a different excitement with traditional sports events, I don't think we have to worry about who will gain more attention from gamblers because both of them will.

I think the main factor in how they were able to handle the situation is because of the strict regulations and how fast they take action towards the problem. Remember when the number of cases in China was increasing rapidly, especially in Wuhan, they immediately implemented a hard lockdown and they were able to build a facility within days for the patients. Cooperation of their people also helped, but I think the government and medical staff really gave their all in fighting the virus.

The money and power also play a role since they are a rich country, they can easily build a big facility for COVID patients and can manufacture equipment they will need. Unfortunately, not all country has that kind of power to do what China did. In my country, the fund is not enough to help everyone affected by the virus, what more in building facilities and providing tools and equipment. Also, my country is increasing its debt just to the so-called "fighting against the virus" yet nothing is going well, daily cases are still increasing. Aside from the financial capability of a country to fight this pandemic, not all government is as competent like in China.

As of now, meron na tayong mahigit 35,000+ na positive cases and still rising kaya talagang nakakabahala and may isa rin akong napanood sa facebook na video about sa mga taong nakatambay sa park or sabi don sa video nagjojogging daw yung iba and nakita ko rin na yung iba ay nagbabike and yung iba naman ay talagang tumatambay don and di lang matanda yung nakita don sa video dahil marami din mga batang nandoon. Doon sa video kitang kita kung gaano kaluwag na yung restriction dahil miski social distancing ay hindi na makikita sa video. Kung patuloy ang mga ganitong pangyayari panigurado mas dodoble ang cases sa ating bansa.

Actually, it's not that surprising. I don't expect that majority of them already know about Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin is starting to gain attention in some Americans, it doesn't mean that most people you will encounter already have an idea of what it is. The percentage of the recognition of Bitcoin is still lesser compared to the whole population in America.

We should not expect much nor rush things when it comes to bitcoin and crypto adoption because we are still at the beginning of it. If that already surprised you, what more in other countries? But I think, asking them for crypto payments can be a contribution since they might consider looking about bitcoin and ethereum.

Hindi na bago na gumagamit ang scammers ng mga kilalang tao dahil alam nila mas maraming silang maakit na tao kung ganon tao ang kanilang gagamitin. Nabigay naman ni @Bttzed03 yung iilang thread na tungkol sa mga kilalang tao na ginagamit ang kanilang pangalan para lang makapang-scam. And, sa tingin ko wala naman itong kinalaman sa pagbaba ng presyo ng bitcoin and normal lang talaga ito para sakin dahil alam naman natin na sobrang volatile ni bitcoin pero yung ganitong mga scam ay talagang nakaka sira ng image sa mga cryptocurrencies dahil pagmakakarinig ang iba ng word na "bitcoin" masasabi nalang nila agad ay ito ay isang scam.

Marami pa rin ang mga taong maniniwala sa ganito kaya dapat maging matalino at magaling tayo sa pagkilatis, at wag basta-basta maniniwala, matuto tayong mag research dahil pera natin ang nakakasasalay dito.

Of course, it will be in demand especially in the future. Blockchain requires deep knowledge and skills about it, so when the time comes that blockchain adoption becomes more popular, blockchain-related courses and professions will be more popular and could possibly one of the high-earning jobs.

That's why I also believe that blockchain technology should be widely taught in the Academy because it can be the future. As I've noticed in my country, there is still a lack of blockchain courses and lessons in schools, and I strongly believe that knowledge about blockchain should be strengthened because sooner, more entities will start adopting blockchain.
