Karamihan din sa mga nagpopromote nito ay yung mga influencers na may malalaking audience, binabayaran sila nung company para magpromote at syempre maraming maaattract na walang knowledge regarding dito. Usually sila ang mga nabibiktima, lalo sa mga taong nagtitiwala sa mga idol nilang influencer sa social media. Masyadong tinetake advantange ng mga influencers ang mga ganitong platforms lalo na sa referrals kasi alam nilang madami silang makukuhang users.

I guess you're talking about T1 formerly named as SKT T1 or SK telecom T1.
You can also check TSM, they're great, the meta breakers of valorant and defeated T1 on a recent tournament which is the T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Showdown.
T1 compose of pro players that have a lot of experience and already been in CS:GO pro scene. TSM is also the same, but the difference is, they always think up new strategies that no one is familiar with.

Some of the betting platforms on the link you shared are crypto-based especially Stake and gg.bet, I'm not familiar with betway.

Yes, we do really need banks but the question is too general. So the conclusion of this topic is, we can say that some don't really need banks and the majority of us need it. Those people who don't have a lot of money will definitely live without banks but the economy that has a circulation of money and most of the people require it.

People have already explained all of those advantages of banks and some explained that those advantages will not benefit them, so it's a tie.

People who're really in need of money can be easily blinded by money. So the fact that they are earning money through referrals, they will defend it and we can't blame them because they're earning through it. The problem is, they didn't know about cryptocurrency and the first thing that came to them is the networking type of investment. Unlike us, who have proper knowledge about cryptocurrency or any investment that can easily determine if it's a Ponzi. Ponzi scheme nowadays is using cryptocurrency as an asset to attract users.

This is what I'm pointing about, if they knew about cryptocurrency and have proper knowledge about it, it's easy to determine scams. They will definitely bite it for thinking that it's an easy money but the one whol benefits a lot on this type of model is those who are on the top and have a lot of referrals.

As of now, hindi pa naman sila against and I doubt na papasok sa isip nila na bigyan ng pansin ang cryptocurrency lalo na sa current administration which is iba ang agenda. Warning pa lamang ang binigay nila about using cryptocurrency at mas target ng SEC ang mga unregistered entities na kumakalat through social media platforms at yung may mga "too good to be true" na ROI or return of investments, obviously scam kasi pag sobrang taas. Most likely, karamihan don ay mga ponzi scheme katulad nalang nung recent issue about Forsage and other investment platforms na ginagamit ang cryptocurrency. Actually maraming inaprobahan ang SEC na crypto exchanges dito sa atin so I guess imposibleng i-ban ang cryptocurrency. Hindi naman tayo nakikipagpataasan ng ekonomiya or may ka-trade war katulad ng China at US na maaaring makaapekto ang global hiked ng cryptocurrency sa ating economy.

My classmate asked me about this last May, and nagtatanong siya kung okay lang ba mag-invest sa ganon and agad agad kong sinagot na hindi okay mag-invest sa networking type na investment. Pinanood ko kasi yung mga videos sa Forsage and pyramiding din na puro referrals. After 1 day, nakakuha agad siya ng 6$, I don't know if dahil sa referrals yun or kusang naggegenerate, di ko alam kasi hindi ako interesado sa ganong mga investment type.

Ang nakakalungkot dito is, maraming Filipino content creators ang gumagawa ng contents about Legit or Scam content tas in the end, ipo-promote lang din ang Forsage for their own good. So ang mangyayari ay maraming Pinoy din ang mag-iinvest at mas lumalawak ang pangalan ng Forsage. May iilang content creators na ang nagbabala dito, aware sila sa process ng networking at nakikita din nila ang forsage doon pero hindi sila pinakinggan ng mga taong nag-invest pa rin dito. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsKemO8kfEg

Ang daming pinoy na nagtatanggol pa rin sa Forsage, and that's one of the reasons that we should promote cryptocurrency here in country para hindi sila nabibiktima ng mga investment type na ginagawang asset lang yung gold, at crypto. Marami pa rin kasing hindi nagegets yung ganitong model na pang-business talaga ang purpose, not really an investment. Pinagkakakitaan lang sila ng gumawa nung Forsage or iba pang networking platforms.

Gifting system = Nagbibigayan lang kayo ng pera, umiikot lang sa ang pera sa lahat ng mga kasali = Pyramid scheme = Ponzi scheme.

There are many ways bitcoin can expand and one of them is to be a long-term investor or trader. I've known a lot of bitcoin users who use these 2 approaches to grow their bitcoin.

To gain more bitcoin you need to be a daily trader. Put half of it in your wallet and trade or spend the other half to double or triple it again if you succeed and double your bitcoin.
I've read some blogs about it growing in bitcoin, and some of it is very practical; https://paxful.com/blog/make-money-with-bitcoin/

Without the bank everyone will survive but the problem is, can the money survive without a bank? Here's the point. Their generation is not like us which has the adaptation to use money to buy needs to survive. Even a kid already has plenty to save and the bank is one of the best ways to protect it. When I was a kid, I earned plenty of money during Christmas or birthday, I want to spend it on expensive toys or console so I need to save more. So, my mother used to open a personal bank for me and It's kinda effective since I earned and didn't notice that I already have a lot of money to buy things that I want.

Some can live and some can't without banks, that's the thing here.

Implementation of knowledge about bitcoin is very hard, especially if some people in your country don't have the internet to have access to it. Obviously, jobs that are related in cryptocurrency is not for everyone, most of the programmers or any computer-related course fits in here. Actually jobs on blockchain-based projects aren't permanent, it's temporary. It's similar to those jobs that are for hires like web development or management, and only a few programmers will remain after the development, for the annual maintenance.

So maybe developing internet service on 3rd world countries will definitely help the people to freelance in the Blockchain technology industry, it's a huge opportunity.

In these three, Forsage, RCashOnline, and The Saint John of Jerusalem Knights of Malta Foundation of the Philippines, Inc., I'm only familiar with Forsage because my friend asked me about it if it's okay to invest on it. As usual, I don't want to recommend and 3rd party investments that act as networking, or should I say a Ponzi scheme.

There's a lot of YouTube videos created by many Filipino creators about Forsage, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=forsage
which is very disappointing 'cause instead of investing directly in Ethereum, they're investing to the other platform that requires referral to increase their profit. I watched few videos and some of them aren't a crypto enthusiast to determine if it's a scam or legit, the common contents of those creators are to attract them and promote their own referrals.

I remember the BNL project or Bitrobo where a lot of Filipino invested on it, many scammers are using cryptocurrency now to attract people to invest in their platform.

Sorry for the super late response, this proof might help this issue.

He messaged and corrected an error in my thread through bitcointalk message and that's the first time I interacted with him in telegram. I don't have old convos, the only convos that left to me is with his new telegram account which is "Hero" and the discord account which is "GCC Hero" (a discord account to manage the discord group of Global Cryptocurrency, you can check the group itself that he's a former member there. https://bit.ly/2C3Octt) Also, I forgot that he's still on my trust list and if that's the issue, I already removed him due to not paying his debt to Direwolfm14. I didn't really focus on the trust thingy, I just put those people who helped and I see as a reputable member. I guess the merits aren't the issue here because as you can see, I did my best using the knowledge and skills that I have on creating those threads in our local board and besides, we have a different style and personality. The year 2018 is really quiet on our grounds and we are the ones who have the drive to improve, have a norm on creating threads, and making the local active, I know a lot that can vouch on this.  and the fact that we can put anyone here, there's nothing wrong with that. Therefore, there's no abuse happened and what brings me here is because many people know me for being active in those years. I'm not a political person (Some of you think DT as power, very political) and I don't have goals for this kind of position, meaning that I don't give a sht about it.

That's what I think, a victim to his actions, to all of us who have interacted with him. Look at me now, being accused of being a TYM's alt.

This is our last conversation and as you can see in the chat, he didn't open the message and already inactive for a long time.

Explanation to the conversation:
He's asking me to create a design for a physical coin since the local board knows me as a graphic designer but I just ignored his message since I'm busy at that time finishing college. So how could you tell me that I bought this account? Well, I admit it that I'm lacking recently, and I don't want to explain the current situation/problem I am facing right now (add the pandemic) 'cause I know you guys don't really care about any personal life, but it is not a good proof tho.

The reason why I have an ALT is to contact the campaign manager at that time 'cause I'm very stupid to use that secret question feature. I bought another PC and forgot the password that I have (I'm always using auto login), and I was surprised that he also changed his password. I also have the emails from bitcointalk support for the recovery of my account and proves that I don't have any idea about the secret question and won't change a password without any good reason. So I don't know why tf is TYM having the same day with me of changing a password.

About coins.ph
You can actually view and read the faqs of coins.ph,
https://support.coins.ph/hc/en-us/articles/360000012161-Which-IDs-are-accepted-for-the-ID-verification-process-
And it is stated there that we need a Valid ID (which is very hard to get especially here in the PH) to be able to transact in coins.ph. Meaning that every BTC address on coins.ph, there's only 1 user and it's validated.

https://support.coins.ph/hc/en-us/articles/115000162741-What-is-Coins-ph-and-how-does-it-work-
And if you don't trust the platform that we're using, it is stated here that;

I have managed to transact on our local board with a lot of Filipinos and they already know a piece of my personal information that I am not disclosing here. @cryptoaddictchie is one of them, as you can see in his reply..
I want to help as much as I can because DirewolfM14 also lends me money during the time I'm having financial problems but this is all the info I got about him. If you have a discord app, try to contact some of the admins/moderators in the GCC discord group, it might lead you to the whereabouts of TYM. You also got his coins.ph address, try to contact the customer support and report it to them so he can't use his coins.ph wallet. I hope this information that I've got helps you find the real culprit here.

The pandemic does still exist so i doubt healing have already began especially on us. Some countries request for a loan and until now, no action seen to support the citizens on our country. There are many people suffer on this health crisis and the effort spent on ECQ was became a waste, it just slowed the economy.

They lessen the recoil of each gun, spots in some map is easier for a snipe user(Operator).

There's a recent bug on Reyna where she can plant inside the platform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I8KBMuApVs but it's already fixed.

Anyways, it's a good game, gathering intel at first and then action. In the eSports side, I'm looking forward to the team TSM and T1, I watched their gameplays and it looks promising for them to win the championship. Might look into 'em if someone wants to bet on this game.

Most of the online wallet nowadays requires a confirmation before proceeding on the transaction. Not only in the bitcoin wallet but some local wallets have also a confirmation feature to avoid mistake transactions. Undo feature might be helpful but it'll lessen the discipline of checking the correct information on every transactions.
That's why we shouldn't rush things and do the transactions carefully to avoid problems. There are many of scammers in the digital world, always hesitate to transact with someone we doesn't know personally.

Or maybe he's too old to adopt changes in our modern technology and finds it very complex so he/she doesn't know how or don't want to use it. According to a report, the average age group of cryptocurrency investors is 37-44 but I've noticed that there is plenty on the younger generation too that are using cryptocurrency.

While in the other study, it shows that 18-34 years old use cryptocurrency.

Here's the study where I learned about the ages of the crypto investors; https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3501549##

It's a good idea, we really don't know when we will die. I guess I'll save it on a flash drive and keep those on a safety vault.

If someone in my family used that flash drive, there will be a note that will show the step-by-step process of accessing my wallet. Definitely it will gonna be a spoonfeeding note so they can easily access those BTC that I've earned. If they want to continue the legacy in cryptocurrency, I'll definitely create a different note about it.

All of my passwords in certain devices like PC and smartphone are included there but not social media accounts.  

Following the order of the government to lessen the active cases in your country. But if your government isn't capable on handling such pandemic situations then following them will be useless 'cause it'll lead all of you in more suffering. I have noticed that there are countries like Vietnam and Taiwan who handled the situation outstandingly because their government is very competent.

I guess this would help people like us to earn profit through investment but it's very risky.
Digital currency could also help by the implementation of a project that could help our front-liners who keeps looking for the vaccine.

Yeah, we've learned a lot during the quarantine and this is one of those positive impacts on us. I've learned a lot too especially in content creation, I integrated my learnings in making threads in crypto and in gaming content, and I earned a lot of audience because of that on social media platforms.

We're lucky enough that we have access to the internet so we can easily explore things that we want to pursue while the others are suffering from this health crisis and it's hard for them to take advantage of this long time given to us. Some people can easily sell things online while others can't and still staying on the streets just to sell. So on the other hand of having a positive impact on us, we should always think that it's negative to some people.

First of all, condolence to you bud and rest in peace to him.

You should tell his parents that he/she has bitcoins stored in his wallet 'cause it might help their family. I don't find any problem with it telling them since Bitcoin isn't a bad thing. If they ask about it, you'll be the one who should be responsible to answer all of those questions since you're the one who will tell about it. I hope you find the keys to his wallet, good luck mate.

Nice, can I ask on what course subject will you teach that to your students?

I guess it'll fit on Data communications or Computer programming, you should include Blockchain after the introduction of Bitcoin so they can fully understand it's capabilities when you tackled topic no. 2.

The further discussions should be the last one and change the topic no. 3 as different kinds of wallets in BTC.
Same order but It should also discuss the market, so they can understand how volatile the bitcoin is.
