1121  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid economic impact - How can Bitcoin help to boost global economy? on: September 17, 2020, 06:15:00 PM
It's hard to tell that a cryptocurrency can help to boost a global economy because there's diversity. Bitcoin as an asset is good for an individual because we can get profit by trading or investment but in a larger category such as the national economy, it can't especially when the country didn't adopt the use of cryptocurrency, so what more in the global economy?

Some countries are still doubting the potential and features of cryptocurrency and most of the countries are banning it. So how can a bitcoin help to boost the global economy if there's no adaptation happened in the first place?
1122  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 17, 2020, 05:51:36 PM
Yes, some necessities are now expensive because the production rate of every product is very low due to the pandemic that we are facing right now.

The government is allowing only 50% production because having full production has risk of increasing the COVID-19 cases.
The economy was really hit hard and that's the reason why some prices are being doubled because of the crisis.
1123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What has bitcoin done for you? on: September 16, 2020, 07:01:34 PM
Bitcoin has done a lot that helps me in my academic days because the profit I get in cryptocurrency was spent on college so I can graduate.

Cryptocurrency also lends me money that will let me bought a high-end PC for long term use and that was used for earning more profit that will help me to grow my skills and knowledge about cryptocurrency.

I've noticed that many people here invested in computers because it's one of the necessities right now especially in a pandemic.
1124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India looking to Re-ban Bitcoin on: September 16, 2020, 05:33:03 PM
It seems that they aren't fully studying the whole application of cryptocurrency and still re-banning bitcoin after the lift.

It'll be sad for those crypcurrency enthusiast and businessmens who are trying to enter the crypto world. We all know that DeFi is one of the main project that is mainstream and for sure some of those in india are already planning to create one.

Their perspective of cryptocurrencies' future and potential will be gone because of this case.
1125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin society on: September 16, 2020, 04:55:59 PM
This is normal, in each thing that exists in this world, we have a different perspective on it based on what we know and experiences.

So probably, bitcoin isn't easily accepted by some people for certain reasons such as scam investments that use cryptocurrency.

Even if your target is just to gain profit, you are still part of the cryptocurrency community because you use it and trade it and it's obvious that we have different agenda on using crypto.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vietnam bursts an illegal casino who used to handle bets worth $3 billions on: September 11, 2020, 07:16:47 PM
This is the problem with illegal casinos as they can pay fixed commissions to the people that they hired to lure the gamblers out but they
are avoiding the government taxes by not getting a permit to operate legally.

The casino owner must be earning such a huge amount of money right now because 3 billion usd is a huge amount of money even if the owner is only earning like
20-50% from it. But at the end, they still pay to their action as the authorities has made their move already.

Correct! they managed to operates and not paying anything.

But now, the government already catch them and even they earned huge amount of money, the chance
that it will be freeze as government can confiscate everything once being proven that the money is illegally
came from the illegal gambling business.
I am afraid that will not stop as the new illegal casino will launch soon after the government catches the casino before. This time, the illegal casino will not let bad things before will happen again, and maybe they will be selective to invite the gambler to come to their casino. They will make sure that the gambler is someone that they trust. This process will continue, and there is hard to stop that casino from operating their business.
Agree, illegal casinos will not stop because they will not repeat the same mistakes from others that have been caught. It's like illegal drugs, even the government made a huge movement to stop illegal drugs in their country, the process still continues. So obviously, the illegal casino will still exist as long as the government has many flaws, they will still remain in the shadows.
1127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Jose Haro on: September 11, 2020, 06:34:55 PM
I don't want to be biased because Mark Magsaya is also a Filipino but for sure Mark Magsayo has more chances of winning on this match.

With these stats;
Wins   - 20
Wins by KO - 14
Losses - 0

It's very impressive and even if you didn't watch his past fights, you knew that it'll be worth it to bet on him.
KOs percentage of Jose Haro is 47.06% and Mark Magsaya is 70%.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESPORTS - predictions and tips (Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL) on: September 11, 2020, 05:34:28 PM
I don't think that Team Secret can lose a tournament in 2020 and I think the DOTA TI will crown them champions as I don't see any other team who can fight with Secret right now. On CS:GO ...I don't know, a lot of new teams has rise in the last months and those who were good are now worst than ever ( FAZE, Na'VI ). About LOL , I don't know a thing as I haven't played that game and I don't watch Esports tournaments.
Man, you just don't know the curse of TI Grin

Doesn't matter you are winning on every major tournament, but TI will be always some cursed. Even Team Secret have a good result from a different tournament like Minor or Major tournament, but believe me in TI always something different happens.

Take example of Vitrus Pro, before TI9 they have a good result score from the different tournaments but when playing on TI they are really bad. Maybe these MEME pictures will remind you, the cursed of TI XD.

Agree on this, even they're on a winning streak before the championship, the chances of having a bad game on world championship is very high because there's a pressure on pro players on winning. This is only not applicable to TI but on other championships as well. Even if you're really good and prepared well, we still don't know because there are parts on the game that is RNG and can't even predict based on the pro players' experiences.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any VR crypto casinos? on: September 11, 2020, 05:22:03 PM
I haven't found any crypto casinos that support VR, maybe because it's not that popular this year. Especially now in a pandemic COVIC-19
situation, so saving money must be done. So there was no way for people to buy VR equipment in this situation. Because based on the info
I got, the price of VR equipment was quite expensive. There are indeed some rich people who can afford VR equipment, but the numbers
are enormous a little.

I think it doesn't necessarily have to be privately owned VR tech. I guess people could buy them and rent them out to others... or go to stores or betting centers where they can pay to use VR tech for good and useful things.
Renting a VR will become useless because it's just the same as going to actual casino and spending money. It's better to buy your own VR so the purpose of VR device will not be defeated, where you will stay at home and play VR.

The Virtual Reality device is very expensive and I doubt that many of them will buy it just to experience VR. I guess most of them will have the thinking of spending it to gambling instead of buying a VR.
1130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VALORANT Betting on: September 11, 2020, 05:06:19 PM
Valorant is one of the mainstream online FPS games that is being played by many gamers.


As you can see on FB.GG or facebook gaming that Valorant is one of the most played games by many streamers.

Meanwhile in twitch.tv, Valorant is also the most played game.


I've been playing valorant for how many months and I really see a potential in this online game. A lot of tournaments happened in each country and I assure you that the world championship of Valorant will have the same viewership to Dota2 and LoL. Since my genre of online game is FPS, I already managed to climb on higher elo with my aiming skills, always playing in the whole day because it's so interesting.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My experience is gambling on: September 11, 2020, 01:33:09 PM
I guess you're on the wrong path, gambling isn't just about money and will always not circulate on getting money. Some people are gambling because they want thrill of the game and to have fun, for short, gambling is just a matter of entertainment to others.

Once you have the mindset of playing gambling because of earning and winning, being addicted to it is possible because you will always seek for it. We should be practical since you've mentioned that your income is for necessities not for misc such as gambling. You can find other things that will satisfy you on winning like playing gambling games where it doesn't require real money.
1132  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: DITO stocks - dapat ba mag invest na DITO? on: September 11, 2020, 12:59:23 PM
Using fibr for how many years pero wala naman akong naeencounter na problem sa fibr plan ko.
Anyway, sorry, derail ko lang ng onti 'to, may I ask kung ano ISP mo? Kasi you seemed very fine naman with your provider as you said.
I've been using pldt for almost 10 years, nagsimula sa dsl plan and sobrang pawala wala yung DSL lalo na kapag umuulan dahil syempre copper ang line.

Pero nung nag-transition kami into fibr plan, all goods na ang internet at wala ng na-encounter na problem.
Bago kami magpatuloy sa PLDT at magtransition na sa fibr, sa area kasi namin malapit ang main ng pldt. Kaya lagi nating tatandaan na we should always ask or survey kung ano yung the best ISP sa isang area para di natin ma-encounter ang disconnection. Maganda naman lahat ng ISP and makakapag-provide ng sapat at naaayon sa binabayad natin at posible sa ibang area maganda ang converge, sa ganitong area maganda ang globe basta naaayon sa area at may malapit na tower.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gambling in the wake of covid-19 on: September 11, 2020, 12:38:48 PM
If you are jobless person, you only have your own savings and you have a family to raise, it is much better to use your money to provide their needs instead of risking your money on playing gambling without any assurance of winning your game. When you lose your game you will regret it because you will earn nothing but you also lose your money with nonsense thing. What you have to do is to look for a job or put up a business instead.

That is just true but people that are actually addicted to gambling won't realize this. What matters to them is that as long as they can bet or gamble, they will be facing the problem of their family or their needs after gambling because their priority is gambling. Actually some people can't stop gambling that is the reason why some actually make some solutions like adding more shifts to earn more money they could use to gamble.
They will only realize the serious problem they're encountering is when they are already suffering and their loved ones are already abandoning him because of his/her behavior. People that are addicted to gambling doesn't even care on the consequence until realizing it because they will still continue as long as they have the ability to continue. Some aren't capable of stopping themselves from gambling, if that's the case, they should inquire to a doctor or seek for help to be released on this suffering from addiction.
1134  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: DITO stocks - dapat ba mag invest na DITO? on: September 11, 2020, 12:16:27 PM
Isa sa pinaka-matinding suliranin parin sa bansa ang internet speed. Aminin natin, kahit na sa gaano kamahal yung ISP plans na i-avail natin, walang linggo or buwan ang hindi tayo nagkaroon ng problema sa connection pati sa speed. And yes, even the Fibr connections do still have a problem, lalo na't onti lang ang server na meron ang bansa.
Using fibr for how many years pero wala naman akong naeencounter na problem sa fibr plan ko.

The problem here is, people are not doing research about the area kung fibr ready na ba ang area at kung may nearby tower para hindi congested at pawala wala ang internet connection. The fact na umagree lang ang karamihan sa mga sinasabi ng sales agent kahit hindi naman totoong fibr ready at malayo ang tower, it's not the ISP's fault. Isa pa sa dahilan kung bakit congested ang servers dahil nga sa kakulangan ng towers, if we think na marami na tayong nakikitang towers, nagkakamali tayo dahil libo pa ang kailangan para palawakin ang speed ng internet sa bansa natin and sa pagkakaalam ko, gustong gusto ng mga telco ang magtayo ng magtayo ng towers dahil nga advantage para sa kanila yun, so bakit nga ba hindi nakakapagtayo ng towers, ano kaya ang dahilan dito? hmm.
Fun fact: All ISPs are just connecting to each other's servers. Try to check https://www.speedtest.net/ , it has an option na pede kang mamili ng server na itetest mong speed. And yes, even your Converge can connect to PLDT or Globe. Kaya di naman dapat laging sisihin yung company, sisishin niyo yung kawalan ng enough servers to fulfill the millions of users.  Cheesy
You are noticing na yung converge ay nakakapag connect during speedtest ay sa kadahilanan na under ng PLDT ang converge, may interconnection lang sila sa PLDT that's why kapag kinakabit na ang mga linya ng fibr, mapapansin niyo na sa black box ng pldt din nilalagay minsan. Dalawa palang naman kasi ang original line/telco dito sa PH, globe and PLDT and the rest may sub-contract lang sa dalawang yan. If the PLDT shut down, lahat ng may sub contract sa kanila like converge, mawawala rin.

Now, the price of DITO CME Holdings Corp. was only approx. Php 3.00 (OO TRES LANG!), per share.
---]
Karamihan ng stocks right now ay mura lang, everyone can buy it for only cheap price. Hindi ako basta basta magpapadala sa hype at bibili agad, dahil panigurado ay magiging maganda ang competition ng lahat ng telco once nagoperate na itong DITO (if equal ang treatment ng government sa lahat ng telco Smiley ) kaya I'm still looking forward to the others as well. Ngayon kasi wala namang legit na competition dahil duopoly ang globe at PLDT, advantage para sa kanila yon dahil walang makakapigil sa pricing nila but now they will adjust to it dahil may legit na kakumpetensya na sila which is yung DITO. This will be also a good news to us na isang tech-related course graduate na kung saan makakakuha kami ng maraming opportunity katulad ng magandang trabaho dahil magiging sagana na ng telco sa pilipinas, third telco lang ang iniintay.

Asahan din ang price adjustments mula sa mga existing telco dito sa bansa kung sobrang baba ang price ng bagong telco, hindi healthy competition kung malulugi lang sila dahil mawawalan sila ng subscribers.
The pricing isn't real at hindi pa confirmed ng mismong DITO telco ito at yung pricing ay ibinase lang sa china telco dahil originally, ang mother company ng dito is a china telco.

https://www.gizguide.com/2020/08/dito-no-official-broadband-plans-yet.html

Yung nagpapakalat ng fake news na plan pricing ay hindi naman official page ng dito kaya kung mapapansin natin ay wala na rin ito sa facebook.


1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: September 11, 2020, 11:31:39 AM
The last update I have regarding the fight is that it was postponed, and the hype has stopped.

That is strange. Two boxing icons are going to fight and everything is so silent. I could have said it is still due to covid-19 impact, but come on, people still have the internet and chat. But that does not happen. Is it due to people start to forget them? I don't think so. Imho this is due to weak promotion. Does anyone knows who is promoting this fight? Which organization?
Agree, tomorrow is the fight but can't find any hype but this isn't the only platform you can look about the fight. Also, there are many social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter where they hype the boxing fans and if you want a healthy discussion, Reddit is there.

I'm pretty sure that the hype is very hard to find due to the situation right now, many are suffering in COVID-19 and can't think about the amazing fight. It's very hard to find sponsors these days that will help to promote the event.
1136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be careful when you play games with your coins! on: September 11, 2020, 10:54:11 AM
Of course, being careful is one of the basics that we should apply in playing gambling games because there's a chance that you will be overplayed and spend all of your money even your savings. We should have a plan on gambling such as specific money that will be only spent on gambling. Also, you should know the limits because if you crossed on the limits, you'll get addicted and will end up losing a lot of money.

Discipline is what we need, most of us don't have that and that's one of the reasons they're addicted and can't control their playstyle on gambling.

Oil and Gold Price Betting - Ends in 2 Days
--
I bet on both gold and oil, gold is rising as of this moment while oil have drop to 37-38$.


Considering this graph, probably gold is rising while oil is having a downfall.

Gold will probably hit $2001 - $2500 while Oil will gonna be $36 - $40.
These are my prediction of gold and oil.
1138  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold Price Prediction & its impact on cryptocurrencies on: September 11, 2020, 09:58:35 AM
Gold and other minerals are being consumed and probably, only a few will left that's the reason why the gold prices will become profitable soon.

Every day, gold is one of the resources that are being consumed in electronic products, jewelry, and medicines so there's a chance that it'll outplay cryptocurrency's value soon.

But I guess this gold is nothing to do with cryptocurrency since they have different features and purposes so it will cause less impact on crypto. Both of them have potential in the market but the only difference, gold is less risky than cryptocurrency.

Recently I hired some virtual assistants on Upwork to help me grow my website, however, for some reason they tried to destroy my search engine rankings.

Do we know if the country of India has something against bitcoin or anything recent in the news that would suggest this?
I think the situation you are facing isn't related to cryptocurrency and the country India. Maybe you've hired virtual assistants that have no ratings in Upwork and they are beginners in the industry?

AFAIK, only the government of India is against using cryptocurrency, and besides those you've hired are also need profit, that's the reason why they're in Upwork. You can just report them or give them a low rating for destroying your search engine rankings if they're the ones who fvked up your website. Also, the government already lifted the ban based on what I've read on coindesk.

1140  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Have you lost btc at some point of the time ? What is your story on: September 11, 2020, 07:22:56 AM
I guess most of us already lost of bitcoins due to lack of knowledge at the beginning. Only few lucky people who manage to survive in the early stage without losing any assets.

I invested a lot of time, effort and money on giveaways during my early days of cryptocurrency and manage to save 0.1 bitcoins but it turns into a scam. That's the time where the value of bitcoin is low and it's not yet popular in the public.

That's the reason why you need to gain knowledge before enterting a complex thing like cryptocurrency because you don't know what will happen to you. Well, that experience will serve as a lesson for me to not trust any platforms and should always observe and investigate the legitimacy of it.
