If you ever need a Filipino translator, count me in.

It would be great for you to add another language which is Filipino as there are more gamblers here in the Philippines who are struggling to control their addiction.

As I have checked your website, it looks neat and decent to me at least. I choose not to register though as I do not want to input my real details into it.

When it comes to your app in the Google Play Store, despite having 1,000 downloads there is no honest and genuine feedback from those who are actually downloading and installing it compare to the Apple App Store, you did have a couple of 5-star reviews.

In this area alone, you really need to push for organic honest (and not paid) reviews in the Google Play Store. Just my own honest opinion.

I’m a Bulls fan to be honest, but the Suns owned them for the past few years. So I thought that this would be another blowout win by Phoenix due to Bradley Beal playing and he had 13 points sans Devin Booker being out for an injury. For sure, the blowout win would happen if Booker was healthy.

The Bulls did compete with an almost healthy lineup but bad decisions had been made during the OT that cost them the game.

Despite that I bet for Phoenix to win against Chicago, but I still lost my bet because of thinking that this would be an easy blowout win for them but was proven wrong instead. With their next game against the Pistons on their home court (which they have surprisingly lost during their first meeting), not really sure about the betting odds but maybe the Bulls would have learned their lesson and get their revenge on the young Pistons.

Not everyone can be pleased about long term holding. It is for those who kept believing in Bitcoin for the long term no matter where the market goes.

That is what I do as I kept believing that BTC would finally break through after doing DCA for most of last year with my extra “not beer” money. I bought them somewhere between the $30k to $31k during my first 2 months and then between $19k to $23k after that.

I did not swap my BTC to USDT when things gone southward as I kept holding to it and eventually it paid off. Not all of us are lucky and fortunate about keeping our BTC for long.

I also allocate some of that to ETH as well, but I have made a bad decision for keeping it in a hot wallet that is vulnerable to hacks and ended up getting drained.

As of today BTC is about to climb to $38k so it is really parabolic right now. If the bulls cannot keep up the new support level and crashing the resistance, then most likely we would be losing momentum thus a gradual correction.

This is really tough to overcome. I had to admit though that this is one area that I am still trying to overcome when I am either doing online gambling or sports betting.

I remembered about one guy who got lucky in his parley betting and win big time. It’s on basketball actually. That got him being greedy and in the end he lost all of his winnings in just a matter of minutes.

Although he does have a decent amount of salary, he is just having lack of risk management as he kept on withdrawing some of his hard earned money just to do a “revenge bet” only for him to lose it in the end.

Temptation is always there either if you are on a winning or losing streak. Learning how to control yourself and limit your spendings is one thing to finally overcome greediness and not end up getting wiped out completely of your hard earned funds.

After accessing your updated website design, here's what my Avast antivirus have detected so far.



Seems to me that it referred to the chat section of the website. I'm not sure why though but when I closed the warning, it's just normal and can proceed in playing. And on top of this concern, there's still there's no signup bonuses and TOS as what I have mentioned in my previous reply to this thread.

But your new website design's great and smooth at least though for me to play some games you have. I also noticed the SOL balance being moved to upper middle instead of upper right in the previous version.

That's just my honest feedback for now.

DCA is one of the best decisions I've ever made despite that I'm a little too late last year. I should have started DCA when BTC was still around $12k to $16k sometime in mid-2020. I've made a mistake of letting BTC go that time due to having lack of patience and faith.

Karma hit me hard when BTC flew past $20k days after I sold my BTC. So I make sure of not making that mistake again by doing DCA with my extra "not beer" money last mid-2022. However, I started DCA around $30k to $31k price before it dipped and hang on somewhere around $19k to $23k price.

As of this time, I am at a profit and decided to keep holding and anticipate for the halving next year and also speculating about pending ETFs like Blackrock to be approved that would be a possible big catalyst to a potential bull run.

Probably when I have no more extra funds to gamble. Of course, addiction is one thing that we need to control these days regardless if we're on a winning or losing streak.

I remembered the time when I cannot really control myself from gambling and had to borrow money from my friend only to lose it. I felt guilty about it but the good thing is that my salary arrived a few days later and paid my friend back.

In order that I should continue online gambling, I need to have a steady income source every month and not spending way above my limit to control myself. Once I am satisfied with the winnings, I would immediately stop and not being too greedy.

At first I thought that the bear run would be within the first 6 months of the year and the bull run would be in the last 3 months. However, that was not the case anymore because the cryptocurrency market is so unpredictable these days and is highly volatile.

Last 2018, we thought that it would finally recover but it got even worse. From almost $20k, it fell down briefly below $2k before settling around $3kish and the market did not really recover much until the late-2020s when BTC broke above $20k for the first time and even got up to $30k.

At the end of the day, it is all about anticipating the unexpected and we should be more prepared to any situation and acknowledging the results no matter what.

At first I do not want to have my own casino because I'm not really into gambling back then. However, one of my customers who is just a college student years ago playing in our then-computer shop, has now owned his own online casino and hired many agents under his wing.

Until now they are still doing good. I've met him during a big Web3 conference last year and had no idea about running his own online casino and a gaming guild. When I reconnected with him, I saw what he achieved as he supported my local Web3 meetups since January of this year.

Because of his hardwork and perseverance, it really inspired me to think about building my own online casino in the near future but I do not want to compete with him. Maybe I will just be doing my homework like requirements, licenses, etc., to really begin my own.

If I was not hacked big time as well as bad decisions and victimized by rug pulls, I would have a budget to start my own online casino like my friend.

(Reapplying with the current post count)

In my own instinct, we cannot be sure if we already saw the bottom of the current market situation today.

There are guys who are like "$30k, $25k, $20k, etc. is the new bottom", but eventually surpassed their expectations and got even lower than that.

I believe that there would be unexpected happenings along the way without us knowing that the market may tumble anytime after successfully staying at a specific range for so long.

Just like today since the listing of IBTC in the DTCC, the price is just steady within the $33.8k to $34.2k as of this time of writing. Although that the bulls are doing their best to maintain a key support level, that doesn't mean we are out of the woods yet.

Probably the next big black swan who might have the "FTX-level" impact would be a challenge for the Bitcoin bulls to hold on as much as possible making sure that the support level wouldn't break to avoid further retracement going south.

So for me, there's still a possibility that we could still revisit the lowest of the lows in the current crypto market if ever the bulls would lose momentum in keeping the support level steady and strong.

You can predict what you want but there is no way you can outsmart the unpredictable market conditions whether if it's on a bearish or bullish trend.

At least not all of the airdrops are trash but just the majority of it. Maybe only less than 1% of them are reliable.

Would like to mention some of the notable retroactive drops with at least decent to insane amount of rewards.

- Uniswap
- Axie Infinity (AXS)
- Shapeshift (FOX)
- DappRadar
- Synthetix
- Aqua
- Aptos
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Arkham Intelligence
- Celestia
- Big Time

People are already in FOMO mode to farm these retroactive drop activities to fully cement their status to qualify even without knowing either if they’re gonna launch a token, revealing the snapshot date, etc.

Now I am just being selective only to those that I want to interact like having a big funding raise, partnering eith Binance Labs and more.

Doing these tasks are very time consuming to be honest especially with my previous experience on Linea testnet voyage and ended up just having a Beta commemorative NFT with no monetary value at all (but maybe a possible multiplier).

Good thing I only use a burner wallet that I can afford to lose since my balance is just small only to pay for gas fees, testing Dapps, minting NFTs and more.

What really impressed me in your story is that not only you give them the positives and opportunities but also the negatives and risks  as well to be fair and transparent.

And yes I agree the fact the opportunities in Bitcoin doesn’t not restrict only towards invest and hold, trading, mining, payment method for your products and services, etc., but it’s actually a gateway towards multiple opportunities in the cryptocurrency and Web3 space.

When I was in my first months of my crypto journey, I kept learning more about Bitcoin and some ways to earn money with it. However, that leads me to exploring much beyond by going into altcoins and see multiple opportunities to earn as well. Thanks to Bitcoin where it really started my journey and one of the reasons of who I am today being a passionate educator, keynote and panel speaker in various universities and communities.

Hoping that your unemployed friends will be exploring even more beyond Bitcoin so that they can be helped with their own finances aside from yours.

But of course as you’ve mentioned about their hard-earned savings, I do not think encouraging them to spend it for Bitcoin would be a good choice. They can earn Bitcoin and altcoins for free in many ways rather than coming from their own savings. Just my two sats.

If you have been an Uphold user and was trading/holding XRP for quite sometime, there is an upcoming airdrop for the users.

However, I have noticed that only US customers of Uphold are qualified for this airdrop which means the rest of the countries are not eligible.

After Uphold teamed up with Ripple Labs, they have increased their total airdrop allocation from 10,000 to 20,000 XRP. It was known that Uphold did not abandoned and removed XRP from the list of their supported cryptocurrencies during the Ripple’s 3-year legal battle with the US SEC.

And it was all paid off due to their recent victory over SEC which is why they have forged a strong partnership recently.

What are your thoughts and reactions about this one guys? Would love to hear it from the community. Thanks!

Out of all the free investment tips that you have mentioned, health is always my best investment. You know why? Because we only have one chance to live, so we need to make the most out of our limited time on this beautiful planet.

How can we fully enjoy what we have if our health is not right? This reminds me of a story being shared on Facebook years ago where a wealthy guy was terminally ill. He vowed to spend millions to the doctors, surgeons, etc., just to be cured from his illness but unfortunately it is now on the final stage and there’s no other way but to accept his fate.

I started my crypto journey last 2017 and I was overweight. I weighed somewhere between 82 to 84 kg and was eating too much carbohydrates. I was too complacent thinking that it’s okay because I’m still young. Over the years I’ve enjoyed my crypto journey and living the life that I’ve wanted for so long, but my health is not really right at all. I started to experience some symptoms such as continuous itching of my feet and a slightly high blood pressure.

I was self-alarmed after observing it for months. When I researched, it was one of the common symptoms of diabetes and it is something that I do not want to end up to. Good thing I was not yet diagnosed but probably close to that.

So I decided to transition to low carb keto diet last November 2021. In just one year, I have managed to lose weight and look younger. From 84.7 kg down to 63.9 kg. And not only that, my lab results are great as I have transitioned my source of energy from carbs to fats. Right now I am just maintaining my weight as I do not want to go even lower that makes me too skinny lol.

It is truly one of the best decisions in my life as I am aiming to live a longer healthy life while enjoying my crypto and Web3 journey. Investing into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and our careers would just be on the least of my priorities as the main ones would always be our health and family.

Source: https://cryptonews.com/news/turkey-projects-finalization-of-cryptocurrency-taxes-by-next-year.htm

To further strengthening the regulation within the country, the Turkish government is now projecting to finalize crypto taxes sometime next year.

However, they did not mention in the article yet about the percentage of tax that will be imposed on cryptocurrencies converting to fiat in any regulated bank, digital bank, remittance or so. India's crypto taxation currently stands at 30% which is somewhat "too much" in the eyes of many.

In my opinion, crypto taxation would be a great challenge for the government in tracking our transactions especially when it involves the cryptocurrencies that we have in our non-custodial wallets. Usually capital gains and/or realized income would be the main basis of computing our taxes when converting cryptocurrencies to fiat money.

I believe regulation is far more better than just outlawing or outright banning them them but a double-edged sword for decentralization, data ownership and user privacy no matter which country you are in as they are aiming to co-exist with cryptocurrencies leading to massive adoption.

Although I am not saying that $100,000 per BTC is impossible to achieve, but in reality it may have a very slim chance depending on the next big hype that is going to happen like what Elon Musk did last 2021.

But in my own instinct. I think there wouldn't be someone who can do much bigger influence than Elon Musk did last time during the days where BTC almost reached $70k.

I have yet to reach x2 of my BTC investment as I still have long ways to go since I've done DCA for most of last year. I am aiming for a specific target price before selling. Once it pulls back, I will be setting my specific buying position as well.

The crypto market will always have the final say as their movement is not in our control. Even if we are that skilled in predicting, reading the charts, technical analysis, etc., it won't be perfect as there will be unexpected happenings along the way. 

I wouldn't really expect too much about the bullish trend because it is not in our control. We cannot just solely rely on ETFs as the other strong catalysts behind the strong rally apart from the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving.

Plus there will be no guarantees on whether an ETF will be approved or not on a specific date because the US SEC can change their minds by either postponing or declining the approval. It's something that we should be prepared as well.

The black swans would appear at any moment without warning for the FUD to kick in that would cause the market to go downturn unexpectedly.

If ever the Bitcoin ETF was not approved and waiting for the halving period of Bitcoin, the bullish trend is still not really guaranteed. Time will tell and let's see what happens after that.

Ever since nakita ko itong Legends of Constellation, alam ko na mangin next rug pull in the making toh. Nung nakita ko pa lang mga ROI tables nila for each tier ng character nila, alams na agad.

Plus hindi ito talaga crypto NFT game dahil wala sila sa data aggregators from CoinMarketCap at Coingecko. It means to say that they do not have any smart contract at all for the LOCC token, which is not really a crypto. It's just like any other imaginary in-game coin na hindi crypto.

Sa local community ko isa sa mga sumali dun bye2x na yung $58 nya sa pag invest sa Legends of Constellation. Wala na magawa kundi lessons learned na lang.

Hanggang ngayon ang mga Pinoy prone pa rin sa mga too good to be true na mga opportunity like this na may ridiculous na ROI tables. Dahil reality nowadays sa mga Web3 NFT games mas na focus na ata tayo sa earning side rather than the fun side.

Alam ko this is not going to be the last dahil meron pa siguro ibang similar ponzi games na waiting na lang the opportunity to peak bago mag initiate ng exit scam at rug pull at a future date.
