Sa tingin ko it is early pa rin for NFT.  Although nagkaroon ng bitter taste ang mga naunang NFT due to scams and rugpulls, maasyon naman iyan pagdating ng panahon kapag nagkaroon na ng mga legit company na magrerelease ng mga NFT like Starbucks, Globe at Smart.  Positive pa rin ako sa future ng NFT pero iyon nga lang hindi na siguro siya magfafunction tulad ng nauna nitong ginawa na naging trending  sa trades na kahit napakapangint an art ay nagkakahalaga ng milyong dollar.

Magiging collectibles itong mga NFT na ito at kung magtuloy tuloy maaring magkaroon ito ng magandang value sa hinaharap.

Tingin ko nasa mid kaya ngalang magtitiwala paba ang mga investors sa NFT's? Given na napakalaki nilang kompanya ang tanong ano kaya ang benefits ng mga mag aavail ng NFT's nila? If maging successful ang pagpasok nila siguro maglilikha ito ng napakalaking ingay sa mundo ng crypto at siguro may short term hype ito na madadala.




Sa tingin nyo maganda kayang planong to ng giant telcos na sumali sa mundo ng NFT? o sadyang huli na ang pag adopt nila since marami nang tao umaayaw sa NFT's dahil sa dami ng scams na naganap dito?.

Nakakapagtaka talaga na ngayun pa sila pumasok sa mundo ng NFT two years ago todo hype ang NFT kahit nga yun maliliit na company ay nasa NFT, kung pumasok silang dalawa noon malamang sila ang mga lider at mapopromote nila ng husto ang NFT sa ating ga kababayan,kasi highly reputable sila at anuman ang i roll out nila na platform o project siguradong susuportahan ng kanilang mga subscribers.

Siguro ngayon lang din natapos ang study nila at tingin nila may hype parin ang NFT kaya antabayanan natin to at tingnan kung may maganda bang magaganap sa pag anunsyo at pag lunsad nito.

<snip>
Ako naman, medyo matagal ko nang hindi ginagamit ang Coins.ph ko, years narin siguro. Laki kasi ng difference ng buy sa sell eh. Di pa masyadong makontrol yung transaction fee ng bitcoin. Ngayon iba muna ang ginagamit ko. Maganda naman itong Coins lalo na kung mag tatransact tayo gamit altcoins gaya ng XRP.
Ask ko lang, ano na bang mga nag-improve sa Coins from these last 2 years? Di na kasi ako updated, lol. Di ko narin binubuksan yung app.

Kung sa coins.ph ka mismo mag sell for sure super laki talaga ng fee dyan at bawat exchange mo mapapaaray ka sa bawas.

Ang solusyon dyan ay rumekta kana sa coins.pro at nag trade ng crypto to php since super baba lang ng fee dun. Maganda na nga ngayon since maaari kana rumekta since  combine na ang balance mo sa coins.ph at coins.pro.

I try not to rely on Coins.ph too much anymore. But to their credit they did lower the remittance cashout fee a little bit, so that's nice.

Masakit parin fee sa remittance at di din sya advisable sa mga nag transact ng maliit na halaga. Mainam kung rekta mo nalang sa bangko since 10 pesos lang ang fees dun.

So, I'm working on casino reviews and sometimes I'll be forced to reach out to a specific casino for information. Especially, when it's not listed on the casino website.

But in 9 out of the 10 situations, I've noticed that these customer supports don't know anything about the website, but why are they working there?

Just today, I was asking the support of a casino why the sportsbook section on the casino website is redirecting me to another platform and he doesn't understand what I mean.


So please if you're a casino owner here, hire people who understand simple things about gambling. This is not good for business at all!

Either they don't want to cooperate with you or they are just don't like to associate with unknown platform that's why they are not answering any good questions to you. If you're site is famous and have good traffics for sure they are the one will come then ask about possible reviews to their casino. So don't get mad about on what they do so better for now create a review base on your experience or to those legit gamblers who have experience on those casino so that you can get a legit reviews coming from real people.
584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlackRock wants to reduce the price of Bitcoin on: August 31, 2023, 02:58:46 PM
There have been rumors in the market recently that black rock wants to accumulate more bitcoins, but at more reduced rates, and for this they will make the market crash more. I don't know if this news is true or if it is just a rumor.

This is one dark side of these giants that they will never play fair. They have enough money to influence the crypto market which is still at the very initial stage and move the market according to their wish.
This might not be far away from the truth, they have a lot of money and are aiming to have the largest share by acquiring more bitcoins, whether this is true or not and no matter how much pressure they mount on the market to further bring down the price I'm not going to panic sell my BTC at this point of this market cycle and only fools will sell. Rather I would find a way to leverage this opportunity and I will be reserving some funds in case an unexpected event happens.
The post came from Binance so maybe it's true? But as you said, even without the news, they can still be able to manipulate the market only to buy more coins at cheap. But that's right, there is no way to be scared about it. We are not a newbie on here anymore and we know that each price movements has its own functions. And that is, a dump is for us to buy while the pump is for us for to sell.

Not all those who sell are fools but maybe there also some pioneers who co-incidentally sell because they urgently need a money for something. You can choose to prepare a fund and buy more, but if you are struggling financially, then you should not bother brother.

The action they do is just pure manipulation, they just want to scare people on the possible action they do so if many will panic about the article release then people are just feeding up those manipulator then might they will do the same in future.

But if many experience people settle down about the news and doesn't get effected about their manipulation attempt then provably we can see bitcoin price goes strong and will never be manipulated by them.
585  Economy / Gambling / Re: Concept of Halal Casino on: August 31, 2023, 11:05:39 AM
The title of this topic really makes me a little amused, if we want to change halal or haram according to Muslim beliefs then we have to go back to the past, haha... anyway we have to respect those who adhere to the Muslim religion, for them gambling will always be haram (never halal) and the target market for gambling is not Muslims but those who really have a big interest in gambling, especially in countries where gambling is legal, therefore i do not agree with imposing halal concepts or labels on casinos.

It's really sensitive topic. This topic has a very strong relationship to the muslim. AFAIK everything related to the casino was not allowed in the islamic religion. We shall just stay away from discussing this topic as it will be a never ending discussion discussing about something that doesn't allowed in their religions but keep forcing to allow everything based on their personal idealism. The only thing that i know if casino will never be allowed for muslim.

The video was only discussing about another thing. It seems like that the title was misleading people. It's pretty much like a click bait strategy by the creator of video.
Maybe they want to insert the idea about possible betting in halal way but if you think about it more deeply its still betting so there's no way that it will be good in any form since gambling still a sin on Islam religion. I know many muslim doesn't follow this order and hide their activity to their relative but for clearly exposing this activity much better if they will not participate on any of it in public to avoid any trouble since for sure their are extreme followers criticize them for this activities.

Maganda ang planong ito kung sinagawa nila ang planong ito nung sobrang sikat pa ng mga NFT's.

Pero sa ngayon questionable na kung mag success paba sila since marami nadin ang reputable companies pero nag fail since medyo marami narin ang nakapansin na wala nang hype ang NFT sa ngayon.

Isa na naman POGO sa Pasay City ang ni-raid , ngunit sabi ng mga eksperto sa cryptocurrencies ay hindi madaling makaloko dito. Para sa akin may posibilidad na makapangloko lalo na kung hindi sila legal sa pag-ooperate ng ganitong klaseng pasugalan. Sang ayon ba kayo sa mga sinasabi ng mga eksperto na ito?

Pwede niyo rin dito panoorin sa link sa baba kung tama ba ang pagkakaalam nila sa cryptocurrencies.
https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/08/18/23/mga-ebidensiya-sa-pogo-hub-titingnan-kung-gamit-sa-money-laundering

Kahit saan naman basta may money involved ay madali talagang mkakapangloko. Lalo na at pasugalan, siguradong marami ang mabibiktima dito. Kung tutuusin nga, sa naraid na pogo na yan ay may mga kababayan din tayong nabiktima nila at naging empleyado na kung saan ay napangakuan nila ng hindi naman totoo.
Legal o hindi man ay nkakapangbiktima ang mga ito at nkakapagsagawa ng maraming illegal na transactions dahil sa totoo lang, may mga kilalang tao din naman sa likod nito. Maraming illegal na pogo ang nagsasagawa ng money laundering kaya sana nga at maging mahigpit at mabusisi ang goberno para hindi na lalo pang maging talamak ang ganitong kalakaran sa bansa lalo na at mga banyaga pa ang mga nagpapatakbo dito ang masama pa, kahit tayong mga nasa sarili nating bansa ay naloloko rin ng mga ito.

Sa dami ba namang perang lumalabas dyan for sure talaga nagagamit yan sa illegal na gawain. Marami tayomg nababalitaang scamming at kidnapping na nagaganap at na link sa pogo ang mga activities nila kaya di talaga maitatanggi na nangyayari na talaga yan dyan. Mahirap lang talaga itobg masawata dahil may protektor ang mga yan at kadalasan nakakatakas yun talagang pasimuno ng kalukohan at yung nahuhuli ay yung maliliit na isda lang.
588  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Crash may take bitcoin to 1M dollar on: August 30, 2023, 12:14:06 PM
IMO - bitcoin would be $1 million if the reality was that many big investors stopped trusting their money in banks. If one day the big banks go bankrupt then bitcoin might be an option they are considering as a store of value. Conditions like this have begun to be predicted and I would not be surprised if over time the bank loses its investors which in the end have to close their services.

The loss of public trust in bank services will make bitcoin a good choice – as well as some other assets such as gold. But gold is no better than bitcoin which most likely is not easy to store and transfer. Bitcoin can also help them stave off huge inflation – although inflation happens to bitcoin too.

This will only happen is all people will make bitcoin as their number one choice, but I doubt that it will happen since most provably gold will create huge demand with this scenario since many think that this is more safer option to take rather than bitcoin where the volatility is so high. We don't know yet what comes in future but let see if this scenery will happen since all of us will get  some good benefits if more institutional investors will come and choose bitcoin as their primary asset.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 30, 2023, 10:59:23 AM
That's pretty disappointing if Giannis packs his bags and join a superstar in another team. I mean he's already accomplished something only a few could achieve and doesn't seem to have a serious falling out with teammates or management. Yes he's demanding something to make the team more competitive before he extends contract but I think that's normal for any player with ambition.

His presence in the Bucks keeps the East exciting and competitive with Celtics and also the Heat.

It's not personal, he just wants to win.
He said in an interview that he almost quit basketball in 2020 due to some mental issues. Then he won the championship and it was "the best feeling ever". That's what motivates him and keeps him going.

I guess he wants to prevent to fall in this hole again, and this is only possible if he can compete.
The Bucks last year have been the oldest team in the league and some big changes will and have to happen if they want to stay competitive. So if they improve the roster he stays, if they don't, good bye Giannis. Nobody can be mad about that after everything he gave to this team.

I think he proved his point. A talent like that shouldn’t be stuck in Milwaukee forever. He brought them the championship like he said he would and he’ll play out his contract. I say let him move to California and set some all time records with Curry in between shooting movies and commercials. He deserves it. His story is a great one.

If he love to move to GSW or any desired team then I guess he deserve that, he already finish his task with Bucks since as you said he already gives them a championship and now its time for him to discover other things outside on his team that can improve him. Maybe they would really get a good chemistry with Curry and if their pair up would happen then this is scary knowing that both of them can able to provide good numbers on their respected area.

What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? Will you give up all your investments and get out of crypto because of this ? Or do you you have even more broader horizon and can wait longer to see the next bull run ?

Personally, I am very much positive with bitcoin future but we should also be prepared for all situations. Nothing can be guarantee in present times and we must also be prepared for worst situations.

Then no bitcoin big pumps will happen but don't make it like it stop there since even if no bull run will happen still bitcoin price is volatile and there are also many alts to choose so even if we will not experience that scene we can still earn thru another means. To many times we are dealing with the market with no bull run so expect the same scenario and there's nothing to get afraid with current condition.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: August 29, 2023, 12:32:40 PM
I've been in some nice betting groups in the past where the tipsters were actually good. Nowdays I have the feeling everyone is trying to be a tipster (even when they are bad)
They are just doing guesses and gambling with people's money...
I also think that, it doesn't matter if they know or don't know, these people like to play and place their bets using other people's money, for that reason it seems to me quite dangerous to trust groups like that, because we don't know the trajectory of what the predictions make and we don't know what they can get away with, what I know very well is that every time they lose they say that they will recover from those, that nothing happens, etc., but it does happen in reality because when things happen they lose money are very delicate, so the excuses are superfluous, I know that losing is normal, but that is why you have a sports and betting group, so as not to lose.

Hard to trust this kind of group because they are using someone else's money.
And definitely, they will say something just to appease their clients.
But we don't know what will be their final goals on this endeavor.
Because their target is to get money as much as they can, out of these people.
These days, very hard to find a legit group of this kind, where they are very cautious of what they will suggest,
or that because they are thinking of the trust that people are giving to them.
Much better if you will do your own analysis, with this practice, you will gain more insights about the game.

I always find them as shady group since as always we can always think about if they have high chances of winning why would they share their prediction to others, there's no need for them to do that since they can get rich from the insiders they have. Much better if we just practice ourselves to learn about the league since they can learn many things about it and can get more great insights about what teams are best to bet and what are those teams are good to avoid at certain times.

Paminsan minsan nilalaro ko parin tong classic since mas maganda pa talaga sya kaysa origin since iba talaga ang exciting factor nito kumpara sa new update nila. Kung kitaan naman parang naging same nalang din since halos wala ka rin namang kikitain sa origin kaya dun nalang talaga sa makakapag bigay saya satin. Maganda narin binalik nila leader board rewards dahil kahit kunti magkakaroon tayo ng goal na makapasok sa kahit anong pwesto.
With the current value of SLP, halos wala na talaga kikitain today sa origin. Kaya siguro mas pinili nalang ng mga tao na mag laro ng V2 since andun yung enjoyment ehhh. Even streamers is wala nako nakikita nag lalaro ng origin puro V2 yung nilalaro nila at still madami parin silang viewers. Nung una lang madaming nanonood before sa streamers ng origin eh since nag eexplore palang yung karamihan at hindi pa alam yung gameplay pero I believe na unti unti ng bumaba yung followers nila kaya nag switch sa v2. Mas nakaka enjoy talaga v2 ehh and even tinangalan ng sky mavis ng ingame token reward before yung v2 is nakita naman natin na may mga nag lalaro parin. Di hamag na mas successful yung v2 nila compared sa origin.

Kaya ayun nagpa reward ang skymavis para sa mga streamers para bumalik sila kasi since nawala talaga mga yun wala ng sigla ang axie community. Mas mainam pa siguro na ibigay nila ang gusto ng mga tao since mas maganda pa naman talaga ang gameplay ng V2 kaysa sa origin. Sa ngayon naglalaro ako ng paunti-unti since nakakaaliw parin naman ang v2 kahit walang reward at maganda parin sya lalo na pag bored ka 🙂. Pero malay natin makita nila ang stats na mas marami naglalaro ng v2 at baka ibalik nila sa dati na may slp reward sa adventure kahit na mababa value nito ay siguro may iilan paring maglalaro nyan pag ganyan.

Oo nga kasi kahit naman mababa lang ang value ng reward kung ung game mismo eh nakakahatak ng atensyon ng players baka makaisip sila
ng ibang way para vice versa ang mangyari at hindi lang mag focus sa rewards ung mga manlalaro.

Minsan din kasi nakakaunawa din ang developers at kung may opportunidad na makitang pwede rin silang kumita baka sugalan
nila ng rewards yung game at baka makahatak ulit ng bagong investors at mga players na bubuhay ulit sa game at sa project na to'

Malakas naman ang axie at tingin ko sadyang nagkamali lang sila sa pagbago nito. Pero for sure ramdam na nila yan na wala masyadong naglalaro ng origin kaya siguro sinubukan nila maglagay ng leaderboard rewards para makita nila statistics o bilang ng nag lalaro. Kung same game play lang nung old version at nag upgrade ng same sa graphics ng origin siguro mas maganda pa ang kalalabasan nito.
593  Economy / Economics / Re: Good and Bad at the same time - Mega entities hold $ 14 billions in Bitcoin on: August 28, 2023, 09:53:27 PM
Very valid statement it is! But I see more bad in that compared to the good. It's like the real world wealth distribution inequality. That shouldn't have happened with Bitcoin at least. With such large holdings of Bitcoin, these entities do hold the power to manipulate the market at any point of time.

Even the government can step in and cease their holdings if any time the government wants to disrupt the crypto market. Really concerning!

For having that statistic maybe we can say that its more alarming to see that they have the volume acquired since if anything happens to them automatically it can affect the market. But we cannot do anything with it as those entities are big companies and the only thing we can do is atleast they remain safe from possible attacks or thinking that they will not do any crazy things like running away since they can create big impact negatively to the price of bitcoin.
594  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WITH LESS MONEY? on: August 28, 2023, 12:44:43 PM
Engage in business that requires smaller amount of capital, yet the demand is high especially if it’s placed in its perfect location. When I say perfect, it also means there is less competition around which makes your business the center of the people’s demand. That way, regardless how small your business at the start, it will surely grow because the scope of your business is wide and not limited.

So hard to find a business where you can't find any competition since almost all of the ideas are present and to many running business are continuously operating so maybe its hard for someone especially for those low capital to establish some business using a small amount of money.

Maybe if he can able to rent or own a land on a crowded place then maybe he can try to open up a pay parking business since from this you will not spend a lot of money to establish this business and you only need to hire some several people to help you operate this type of business.

I have seen a few pieces of content online that are saying Stake, Fortune Jack, Casino Gap and few others are VPN-friendly.

Are users on here agreeing on these few mentioned online casino? I am asking this because I believe those who still use VPN on these casinos are not safe.

Because using a VPN is not openly acceptable by these online casinos, there is no where it's written on their website, I know readers might feel like, why would they wrote such on their website when the law isn't permitting such?

Well, what will stop them from using this against you too as a gambler? Bypassing restrictions is not the problem, but it was never allowed officially, meaning you should accept whatever will be thrown in your face.

What do you think?

Much better to play safe and stay away using VPN since we don't know on when we might encounter a problem by using it so much better that we are sure to what we are doing while playing on those casino.

If you know your country has been restricted to access on casino then you should know that you are not allowed to play so don't think about using that since I think its not about the usage but the restriction due to the law set by certain countries which for us needed to follow.
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 - Betting and Discussions on: August 27, 2023, 11:56:35 PM
I think it was definitely a good close game, and losses happens it is not really a big deal to lose this game and I think it should be important to realize that we are not going to get that much of a big deal out of this, World Cup should be something to care about but unfortunately USA doesn't seem to care all that much, look at their roster, they do not bring in the best players, so lets see when they will lose out, because I bet that this team can't win it all.
As for Team USA, that stack probably should be enough. Yet, they've got one of the best and championship coach which is Kerr and assistant coach, Erik Spoelstra.

With the match between Angola and the Philippines a while ago, I thought that Gilas would be able to beat Angola but Angola is the stronger team. I don't want to blame the coach despite being booed when shown on the screen in the arena. While most of our countrymen's sentiment is about the system and the coach. Anyway, full hate has always been given to Coach Chot as usual when they're beaten, can't blame the fans though.
Too bad for the Team Philippines are they are close enough to take the win and yet, they fall behind on their most important game to get a win, there is so much hate with the coaching staff since then, its too bad for the players to hear such cheer from the crowd, its not motivating at all. With regards to the USA team despite of not being dominant and don't have their NBA star players they still manage to get a win and that could be a good sign for a younger generation to make their own name, and this is a big opportunity for them.

Yeah, the expectations even bookies provided with the Philippines is high, after that great performance against DR, they been placed as favorite
but like what we witnessed, they fell short again and lose the game against Angola.

Not to add with the hate against the coach, but hearing that booed in your own crowd, that's something that he needed to address
or if not him, it should be the management behind the squad whoever in-charge in performing the selection and the program of the team.

Learning process is no longer effective as an alibi with these 2-consecutive losses.

What can you expect from the coach? His plays is so predictable and the way he release his statement doesn't motivate his team. He really need to step down since almost all Filipino fans want him to step down as he didn't bring anything good to the national team. Hope he realize that and will not be a thick face to continue his self on the team since they can still get the same result. Next game is Italy but if they continue to use the predictable plays of their coach and rely only on Clarkson offense provably we can all agree that they don't have a chance to beat Italy.

To be safe, betting on the handicap might be the right choice here. +10.5 seems reasonable, considering it's their first game and they have the energy and the crowd's support. The opponents are quite strong, so maybe we can compensate with our 3-point shooting, as it's difficult to penetrate the interior, especially with Town there. I guess no big man has a favorable matchup against Town; he's capable of dominating everyone.

It's +12.5 @1.78 for me and like you have said, the crowd would be a factor in this game. For me, we have a big chance of winning if Towns gives up the ball to his teammates and let them shoot in the corner as that would be the spot where his teammates are going to be open and hope our guards will be quick enough to recover to bother the shot, easily said than done but hope they can execute.

I think Kai could somehow bother Towns though not all the time but life in the middle would not be so easy for him if Kai and Edu were there defending him.

It's now time for Kai to silence his critics, as he finds himself on a grand stage where everyone is watching. This presents his chance to demonstrate to the world that he deserves a spot in the NBA. Kai Sotto hasn't performed well in the last three tune-up games. If he manages to score at least 20 points here, I believe that would be a significant accomplishment for him. Particularly noteworthy would be if he plays an effective role in limiting KAT.
Well, Kai needs to step up his game and give it his all, as his success in this context could significantly contribute to his pursuit of an NBA career.

Doubt Kai will step up there are so many opportunity for him to do that but no result shown. Right now he's since on the bench and it seems he will not go back to the game. I doubt Kai can achieve his NBA dream since he can't dominate everywhere he plays and he's performance is really bad. He need to gain muscle since at his position he's so easily swipe out by more bigger center. Also it seems Kai's NBA's dream is over since he didn't play well on FIBA.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: August 25, 2023, 12:30:45 PM
In our country, they were legal like 2-3 years ago but then the government finally decided to stop and make them illegal because of the series of kidnappings due to this type of game. Despite that, there have been a lot of new websites/apps that have come out but they don't have a license to operate so that means they're illegally operating and they will be held behind bars if they get caught. That's possible that in some other countries, they could also face jail time if one has but it differs from each country. But I am just telling that maybe you should change your game if you wanna gamble.
This also happened in the country where I live, because initially cockfighting was claimed as a cultural heritage that had been preserved for a long time, but because money was used for each cockfight and cockfighting was made a means of gambling, the government revoked the legal permit about cockfighting and consider it a form of gambling activity, plus there are groups of community organizations that consider cockfighting to be an activity that tortures animals so they reject the legal permit.
After all, there are only a few gamblers who really like betting on cockfighting, considering that cockfighting is a type of bet that is difficult to predict which one will win.

The thing with cockfighting is that it is very hard to monitor by the government. Yeah, in the beginning specially in the pandemic they allow it because it is money generating for them.

But as we have go back to normal now, they have to crack it down as there are reports that people missing or being killed because of money and there are a lot of crooked cops and even congressman and politicians that are involved.

As for beginning, it's almost 50/50 bet. So it's either you got lucky and bet on the winner or not.
But if it's just a cockfighting event which tends to be small or there are only a few groups, it's still mostly done in some remote rural villages and there is also money at stake for every cock that is fought.
Even so, we can still bet on fiat casinos if we want to bet on cockfights in every event carried out by several countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

It is true that many criminal cases occur only because of disputes over betting money and in the past the security forces or the police were involved in betting on fights which were still held freely.
Everything is because of money and in every cockfighting bet there is a percentage share for the police who back up the cockfighting event.

Not only happening on rural area but also in urban area since there are big cockpits getting a license to operate such dens. They create big events on that places and many people goes there to bet then have fun with this type of betting. This is big industry on Philippines and it generate if not millions a billion peso to the owner and also to the government officials getting taxes from this venues. If talking about police protecting some big people maybe there is but we don't have any concrete proof that can point out there participation.

I think as of now it's better to enjoy the game nalang muna siguro given na mababa yung reward at di worth the stress. Yun din naman yung goal ng sky mavis ehhh para ma enjoy ng masses yung game at hindi mainly dahil sa reward na nakukuha ng players. I believe na nakuha nila yung goal kasi even na bumagsak ang token value ng ingame token nila is marami paring nag lalaro at evident yun ngayon. Dagdag spice nalang yung may monetary value pag competitive player ka. Sadly di ako makakalaro dahil naka IOS ako ngayon at hindi pa available sa country natin yung IOS version ng V2 or V3.

Tomah!  Wag na magexpect ng income or ROI para pure enjoyment na lang ang mararanasan, iyan ay kung nakakaenjoy talaga ang game.  Sa tingin ko if ever na enjoyment ang target natin kaya nilalaro natin itong Axie, eh mga ilang araw o linggo lang siguradong mabobored na tayo unlike sa gameplay ng ML kahit puro bug, naienjoy natin talaga ang laro kahit minsan daming toxic players.

Sundan kita dyan ha, sa palagay ko nga ung ibang naglalaro pa rin eh ang habol na lang mag enjoy or magpalipas ng oras, pagdating
kasi sa posibleng kikitain, alam naman na natin kung saan papunta un.

Yung gustong gamitin na lang yung game para magpalipas oras or makipagbakbakan sa game medyo malayo na sa kitaan ang iniisip nun sadyang
laro na lang at makipag laban.

Para dun sa mga nagbabakasakali na baka may kikitain pa naman or may pag asa pang umangat nandyan lang din yung mga yan.

Paminsan minsan nilalaro ko parin tong classic since mas maganda pa talaga sya kaysa origin since iba talaga ang exciting factor nito kumpara sa new update nila. Kung kitaan naman parang naging same nalang din since halos wala ka rin namang kikitain sa origin kaya dun nalang talaga sa makakapag bigay saya satin. Maganda narin binalik nila leader board rewards dahil kahit kunti magkakaroon tayo ng goal na makapasok sa kahit anong pwesto.
