242  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Pilipinas bilang isa sa mga pinaka-aktibong komunidad ng Bitcoin sa Asya. on: April 17, 2021, 06:52:27 AM
Despite na itong bansa natin ang isa sa mga pinaka-active na komunidad, most of them were from NCR and Luzon area. Yung iba nasa Cebu City at Davao City ata. Kahit ganun ka active ang Pilipinas, I still believe na in terms sa whole population, mga 0.01% pa lang ata tayu ang nag Bitcoin, crypto, etc. Kaya I consider na fresh pa rin sa Pilipinas ang crypto dahil wala pa tayu sa massive adoption in other industries.
Konti palang talaga pero kumpara sa mga nakaraang taon, mas mataas na porsyento ngayon ng mga kababayan natin na nasa crypto na. Sumisikat na crypto sa bansa natin kaya yung ibang mga scammer, ginagamit din kasikatan ng crypto para makapanloko ng mga kapwa natin.

Sa palagay ko mas marami pang bansa sa Asia ang mas actibo pa kaysa sa Pilipinas.
Nandyan ang Japan, India at Thailand pero nagsimula talaga karamihan sa Japan lalo na yung mtgox.



               Base sa obserbasyon ko mas tumaas lalo ang porsyento ng mga gumagamit ng bitcoin sa ating bansa lalo na nung nagsimula ang pandemya. Dahil bukod sa walang ibang libangan ang mga tao bukod sa internet at online businessess, gaya nga ng sabi nya ginagamit din ng mga oportunista ang pagkakataong ito para makapanlinlang ng iba nating mga kababayan at higit sa lahat ma hype ang market.

I'm following bitcoin from years ago, although i don't think I'm fully able to understand it.actually i was thinking to bulid future carriar & so was looking something in online world and then got information about Crypto world.i bought lower amount of bitcoin as well as others crypto.even In year 2017, i was one of them who is the witness of btc ath.those things helped to make profit & change my life.but due to crash, i sold my btc then because as a newbie, i was afraid but now i don't fear to hold bitcoin


Experienced will build your confidence, if you able to survive previous downfall and then the pumped that take place previously will

provide you a huge profits, there are many  people who suffer as newbie but once they've focus and continue to chase for much better

understanding, the chance is growing and they've found the right strategy to grow more.
Mistakes are common specially when we are just starting up into something where we dont actually know on what are the things that do happen on this market.

with due experience you would really able to handle yourself as years pass by and you will gain knowledge that would really be significant and would be applied
into your further journey into the market.Just continue to learn and do accept and welcome changes which will make you a better investor or trader.

In the topic on my life after 10 years of bitcoin, it isnt really 10 years but only in half or 4 years as i remember but it did really give out some changes
when it comes to financial aspect.



             In my experience alone i could also say that crypto is one of the main reasons why it changed my life greatly. Although i only followed bitcoin since 2016 and to be honest it was then that i really started nothing but time and effort alone to gain money and invest. Mistakes are also part of growing and learning, and many would have experience those kinds of failure but only few of a handful people keep their lessons and that's a fact.

China's claim on the territory owned by neighboring countries are not based on historic facts. They have territorial disputes with almost all of their neighbors. In some cases (Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Russia.etc), the neighbors gave in to the demand by China and ceded territory that was previously under their control.
Chinese bullying.

I'd agree that this is China flexing its muscles. It has risen to superpower status on the world stage, and like any superpower is using its might to get what it wants. Global politics is often far more about who is most powerful than it is about who is morally right. Probably the only way to remedy this is to have a supreme global legal body that has actual and practically enforceable powers - which of course will not happen, as it would be advantageous to weak nations but disadvantageous to the powerful.


             Precisely. They are in advantageous position because of their political power and their influence through out the entire globe. The chinese government also is not someone or something that will cower in front of other superpowered countries and would rather choose to fight back than being underestimated.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 19, 2020, 09:17:31 AM
Most of the times and many gambling sites uses BTC and ETH as a means of playing bets with, I usually used ETH because it's a faster one and easy to place a bet with ETH. But most of the times, tron have it all as favorite, easy to select amount with counting digits, goes as fast as you may think.
Besides deposit tx confirmation time, how exactly is an ETH bet faster than BTC on the casinos you're playing at? The websites I gamble on require a deposit before I can play and whether I deposit ETH, BTC or any other coin it doesn't matter, betting is still going to be at the same speed.


           For some gamblers, the faster the process of transfer the better. For me personally i always bet using BTC, because for some reasons it feels me a lot safer and faster in handling transfer. Also i wanted to try those other cryptos for the reason of having low fee to be paid while transferring but still I can't feel safe most specially during these days.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker games that are providing free plays to earn real money on: July 19, 2020, 08:30:19 AM
pokerstars and everestpoker also have tournaments forfree where you can play and earn money and start scalating tournaments little by little, I have a friend who earns a couple thousand dollars each money and lives only out of poker

though it's quite stressfull life, he smokes a lot and plays 9 tables at once.
Lol, you really think we are going to believe you? There is no way he is earning thousands of dollars from playing free tournaments. Others are saying they give like 1k sat to 20k sat maximum, which is no way near thousands of dollars.
Or probably your friend is abusing the free offer and probably breaking their tos by using multiple accounts to abuse their free tournament.

It seems to me that this 'friend' could once have started his career with free tournaments, but I also agree with you and will never believe that someone earns a couple of thousand $ without playing for real money.
His friend seems to have done something he doesn't know how he did and won $1000 by just playing poker.

Then take note, you said it's a free tournament, how in a free tournament can he gain a lot? It's absolutely unbeilavable. And if you have a winning streak on poker, there's no easy way to gain big cash on free tournaments. But if it's true then, that's really amazing 'cause he's very lucky.


            You have a point I agree with that. I have also tried free plays of poker games before not on this site, but as i was saying based on my experience, it is close to impossible earning a lot most specially free plays have limited pools and has a higher chance of losing. If this really is true then how lucky could someone be? Because personally you'll need atleast some amount of money to continue playing or so.

Pero isa lang concern ko dyan, though di akin account, sa partner ko, is subrang slow ng CS nila, like 1 month before sila mag respond sa messenger or sa email nila like wtf.

Is this post or pre Covid? Kasi as far as I know skeleton crew parin ata ang mga banko ngayon kaya ito siguro rason kung bakit matagal magreply. Pero still, sobrang tagal naman ng 1 month.

           Sa totoo lang di ko pa naranasan gumamit ng UB in terms of withrawal, dito kasi samin hindi masyadong popular ang UB at mostly SB, CB at BDO ginagamit nila. Kung totoo man na 1 month sila bago magreply sa support maybe sa ngayon lang siguro dahil considering ang sitwasyon medyo mahirap din sa part ng mga office workers. Pero antagal naman nun kung totoong 1 month nga, kasi mostly 3 days minimum business days ang reply ng mga support.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of Gambling Platforms with Issues. on: June 28, 2020, 06:38:54 AM
All of them aren't popular gambling platforms, then I am not surprised if they have bad issues related to payments. For the newbies, it is a big mistake to try gamble on unpopular gambling platforms. They must choose reputable gambling platforms with good reviews from the users. Anyway, related to the payment issues above, I think you need to add more proof as I see some of them just have weak proof. We cannot state the gambling platforms really have a problem in payment just from someone who said he experienced it but no strong proof on it. As we have many gambling platforms, someone can spread rumors to damage the reputation of a gambling platform/site.   

being newbie is not a reason to fall for scam sites or to those sites that have an issues related to money  . before when i was a newbie , i know how to use search function and i search for the best gambling sites only to avoid major issues  . he already provided pics on the first page  , isnt that enough ? one of the review is from trust pilot  .

 we all know how trusted trust pilot are    . im not doubting on those reviews but i will not agree easily if i knew all of those sites listed on the first page  .

              You have a point but  to tell you frankly the situation is different for everyone. For example those people who fall those investment schemes, not only most of them are newbie but some doesn't have any idea how investment really goes. Also i agree with your idea, including me, I won't easily be convinced about advertisements from sites or any other related platforms. I tend to do further research and read reviews about their offers.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best welcome offer for you? on: June 28, 2020, 06:04:50 AM
Sometimes providing too many bonuses especially for new players aren't that effective. Some players are abusing the system as they are creating too many accounts though it could still be avoided by implementing IP restrictions for one account. I think gambling sites should focus on developing their games in such a case that players will not be bored in long term playing because welcome bonuses are only good at the start and if the gambling site doesn't really care for long term, these players will switch to another site.

                Sad to say but it is true to some extent. There are several players that are abusing the platform of most gambling sites that offer bonuses for new registrants and then later on they will jump to other platforms without care so I think it is only good at the beginning. Before i was too innocent about gambling sites and in the end i was fooled and lost money, so based on that it is important to have background checks about something you want to put in money like gambling sites. Check for reviews and their performance and if it is an old one try to see their performance trend through years of them functioning. That's what i mostly do when it is something money is involve.

 Masasabi ko namang tama ang mga tips mo kaibigan, lalo na't marami rin ang mga kagaya kong medyo hirap magpataas ng merit. Ang iba kasing mga posts na nakikita ko parang pinilit lang nila para ma boost yung post counts plus may masabi lang(di ko naman nilalahat).

252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin mining a problem of wasting energy? No on: March 12, 2020, 11:21:16 AM

           Based on what I see so far, it is really a waste of energy. Mining nowadays are not really cost efficient, because instead of earning, it will only boost your energy consumption and at the same time not that really beneficial for the environment. We all know that theres a lot of improvisation needed to build mining rigs and it is also proved that it needs more energy, also don't tell me those equipments doesn't need maintenance?
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does anyone pay for slandering gambling websites on Bitcointalk? on: March 12, 2020, 10:01:16 AM
In several threads in the gambling section, I noticed "Newbie" accounts that try to slander the name of the gambling website in any possible way.
Some often sounds very trustworthy - they certainly have experience.
Do you also think that competitors pays for slandering?

Obviously yes, as a frequent visitor to reputation and scam accusation board, sometimes when I read some accusations towards specific gambling site, without much investigate you'll notice the accusations are been forged. Mostly the rank engaging in this acts are newly created account then their main account of the accomplice are used to support their claims.

Things like this happens in the business world outside the forum therefore the forum can't be excepted, it's considered a dirty business strategy to win over their competitors by painting them (their reputation) bad.

            Indeed you're right. When money is involved, a lot can happen just like how businessess hires advertisers to promote their product, while on the other hand their competeting oponent might hire people to slander their oponent. Well even though its true sometimes we need to have facts and evidences before we can accuse someone whether they are hired to criticize or not.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ways to recover from being addicted in gambling. on: March 12, 2020, 06:06:19 AM
I want to help those people who really abused by the gambling, let me list down all possible solution that they may use to recover from being addicted in gambling.
1. Focus on your family or friends - if you have strong relationship with your family and friends then you will forget to play gambling, and they may help you to limit yourself from gambling.



Point number one is very important, if you have a loving and strong family, there is no way you will turn to gambling, because gambling will turn you away from your family, and of course you do not want to be away with your family, I have not seen a loving and responsible father gambling to much to the point of neglecting the family.


              I'm quiet baffled because of this first point. It's because I have met someone before, he has a loving parents and they have strong bond with his family, but still he was addicted to gambling such as car races and cockfight. As i was thinking maybe because it is all due to his friends who influenced him. I  don't really think that family sometimes plays a big factor in gambling, maybe sometimes due to your environment and your pals who kept on pushing you to do those things can cause something like addiction. Sometimes curiousity really kills a person.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where to bet on U.S. politics with crypto? on: March 05, 2020, 03:09:50 PM
Politics betting is not a bet which every gambler likes to play and in fact most of gamblers don’t.

That isn't true mate. If you will look into gambling as a whole, upcoming politics event is always on-trend in the gambling world. Big money always circulates in fiat gambling as this event is not a bet gamblers can see regularly. I'm not just sure though if, in terms of crypto-betting, the same status also happened but I'm sure it is. Crypto sports betting sites will not include political betting on their betting list if it isn't yielding a good number of bets.

As for recap, these are the sites that mentioned here by our co-fellow members that have an open betting for politics-related events;

sportsbet.io
onehash.com (mutual betting)
fairlay.com
1xbit.com (dyor - its a must)
Betmoose.com (parimutual / fixed odds betting)
stake.com

           It really opens up my eyes. I didn't expect that there is a gamble like this. Although I'm not really familiar about this, I usually think if this is even possible. Thank for the recommendation and will try to see later if they will be available in the coming elections.

you must be new here on gambling because you still didnt know that this kind of betting exists  . there are even odder than this  . i think almost everthing ( fighting , sports , etc, )  all kinds of stuff are applicable for gambling or placing a bet  . you can do them locally with your friends if ever there are no platforms that support it yet  . anyway , politics betting is hard imo compare to common gambling based on what i witness  because the fight here  is based on the money and on the popularity of the contender  but the results are verry unpredictable
               I am not really new to gambling but also I am not expert on those. It is just that, it is my first time hearing or rather reading something about gambling in politics. As you've said the common betting games I usually see are sports and some games but politics?.. no its my first to hear.

               Indeed politics has lots of twists and turns and its hard to predict who will be the winner in the end.

257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Compulsive gambling. on: March 04, 2020, 03:42:28 PM
But only 1% to 3% of all gamblers are addicted ones. Gambling industry could do without them easily. Hope, you can see the difference

As I said, I don't disagree with you

But still you make it look and sound like casino operators profit from something else (house edge) other than their gamblers. Even if technically true, it is not the house edge, it is the money of players that becomes the money of a casino. Whether the money is coming from compulsive gamblers or normal ones is irrelevant from this perspective. It is a zero-sum game after all (plus or minus the house edge)

Exactly, and that's my point. Some players are winning and others are losing at the same time, and what is won by the former group is compensated by the latter one. And what's left for the gambling site is the house edge, not the money lost by some players.

Gambling sites want as many players as possible not only because the more money is wagered on the site, the more the site earns due to the house edge, but also because if only a few players are there, it becomes a game between them and the site: if someone loses big, it's the site's profit, BUT if someone wins big, the site has to shell out a big money.

And, being serious businessmen, gambling site owners don't want to gamble, they prefer the security/stability of earning from the house edge, when gamblers, basically, play with each other and pay to the site, in the form of the house edge, for providing a platform for gambling.

I know it may seem like only poker sites operate this way, but, in fact, it's applicable to all gambling sites with thousands of active users.


         That is also the main reason why they keep advertising to attract more of the peoples attention and join the house to play. Since there are also lots of competition they are also upgrading little by little.
 
          Imagine they only launched recently and then they got sudden bankrupt because they lose more than they earn, then immediately they will shutdown. Anyway this feels like we are talking some basic business or structure of any casinos, its completetely irrelevant.

There are 2 types of posters here:
1. What they are saying in their posts are true.
2. What they are saying in their posts are false.

The beauty of the Internet. You never know if that sexy girl you're talking to isn't really a 50 year old man.
I'd say with all honesty that my level is 0. I gamble occasionally. You really have to invite me to the game to see me play. I don't feel like I have to win something back or prove something to myself or other people and I never lose a lot of money.

               To be honest that is how the internet works nowadays and like it or not it is the reality we are facing in. Its up to them if they are lying or not, but as for me I only gamble for fun as what I have said above my level is just for newbie(believe it or not). I am not even very familiar with some sports like basketball because I am not really fond with that, but they are popular betting game due to NBA and other stuffs. Most popular games and gambles takes place such as boxing, football league and many others but I am not much interested in sometimes.

1. New gambling ideas flashes in your mind even you are too busy with your studies or work or with friends/family.


           I think I still belong at this level. I cannot say if I would be considered a gambler but the fact that i gambled makes it one. I only gamble for fun or most of the times I gamble online when there are teams I have in mind which are participating such events mostly sports and E-sports. I gamble based on my analysis on participating teams.
            It could still be considered newbie in gambling but its all I could do.

If I'm on his position, I won't take the offer. I hate "too risky" situations like this. Yeah! I gamble but at least it's my savings so if I lose it then it's easier to accept because you knew that you have debts to nobody Grin.
take the chance but Gamble in Business not in literal gambling,since both are same taking chances right?maybe Invest in Crypto the half and the other 50% is for real business either online or offline?
Of course everything in this world can be compared to gambling but if we will just think directly establishing a business is not a form of gambling at all. Actually you uttered the right word already (I bold it), yup! The much appropriate word is INVESTING. Nevertheless, I agree with your advice Smiley. But if OP can't really controll his desire of gambling then I think much better if he will do it guilt-free Grin — no debts, no sorrows.


             The risks are too scary, but let him decide freely he was just asking for our opinions. Well anyway personally i agree with you guys, it is because there is no assurance you could win and then your debt is connected to that winning chance you've been waiting. One simple mistake and its all over and you are bound to debt.

           It is right to not push your stakes too high. Maybe as you've said invest 50-50, it is much preferable for me, but it is all up to the OP.
