261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you invest in new Gaming projects? on: January 30, 2022, 01:14:40 PM
If I had a lot of funds to spare I would really love to try out most of the NFT games coming out right now specially when I think about those that I have missed because of hesitating and are proving to be successful and would've given me several folds of returns. But the thing is, we are in a time like in the past when alt coins of different purposes/uses cases were popping out of nowhere which would make you gain lots of profits or lose huge amount of capital. And so, I am onoy picking a few which are really good instead of gambling my money by buying whatever goes out in the open.

Another opportunity has created for new investors to have some good coins listed in their portfolio. Many who bought higher now leave at the mercy of the market but for those who were scared of how high the price flew within a short time now has a better chance of joining the market at a good market value.

My agitation now is no one should come back shouting about missed opportunity in the future I think since late last year the market has been a bit fair to new investors giving them opportunity to join the train. Everyone can be a millionaire in crypto attitude towards market volatility is what makes the clear difference

Indeed. This moments are the most anticipated by the people who do their own research. This is the best time for shopping and jumping into reputable projects and NFTs. But I would advice the people to not touch futures that much right now though if one doesn't have that much knowledge and experience with futures. Just stay on spot trading for now and DCA as much as you can to increase profits or reduce losses.

P.S. I expect a bit of a pullback though

You could never be more wrong with your mindset. Just because a small percentage of people arpund you is like this, it doesn't mean that most men are like what you are saying. Right now I am telling you, not all women feel bad being married. If there is somebody to blame, then blame the chain that binds the children to become what they are when they grow up which is bad culture or tradition. If parents do not dare to change and break this cycle nothing will change. The only thing you can do is spread awareness and make sure your children and grandchildren do mot follow such bad beliefs and practices.
Most atimes marriage seems like a punishment when evil befall you in ur marriage.Lets not forget that so many person's have died because of marriage and so called love.

Some person marry into a place that they don't like them,and in that kind of place,if care is not taken,your life will be terminated because of marriage.

In some parts of the world they see marriage as a do or die affair,while some parts don't see it too important.  But in all,meeting the right person is all that is important.


I see your point. But such things only happen to those who do not know how to have a proper balance between logical thinking and emotional thinking. Too much of anything is never good for anyone. So marriage itself isn't the one who should be taking the blame but the two people within it that acted rashly in the spur of the moment. Which is why divorce came into being so that people who make such mistakes can break free(except for countries that do not legalize divorce). I pity the children though that gets implicated because of the bad decisions of the parents.

For different perspectives, marriage is : sacred, reputation saver, a bridge or a prison. But no matter how it is viewed, the fact that it is a result of a set of prior decisions from both parties never changes.

Quite a simole yet good explanation on what makes bitcoin valuable. This will he a great help for the newbies out there. One thing to take note of though is that there is akey difference which is that poker cards(from the example) can be held physically whereas bitcoin or any crypto currency out there cannot be held physically. It's important to consider this fact because people, specially the ones who are roo lazy to learn about crypto currencies tend to feel more secured holding physical asset rather than digital assets.
265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too! on: January 28, 2022, 02:11:04 PM
Hi everyone, it's been awhile, just wanted to tell you that I still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too!

Some of you may say it's a dumb decision or risky, but I'm all for BTC and positive about it. To the Moon!

Its not dumb but a privilege. Being financially stable or in control enough to not have to spend all the bitcoins you are saving, you are very lucky and I am pretty that if you ask anybody here, no one will ever sell their bitcoin unless necessary or in a tight emergency. Had I been in such a situation, I would only accumulate and would not care about trading, even more so after seeing the increase in value as time passes. Anyway, congratulations on holding up to this day. Having enough money is also considered as a personal trait. If you have an advantage, why not use it, right?

267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will 2022 be the year of ETH 2.0? on: January 28, 2022, 01:25:44 PM
As we can see, it is taking a bit too long and at the same time, tons of coins and projects that have the same usecase or more but has better features, lower fees and faster transactions. Which is why more people are realising that there are much better choices out there. And as this goes on, more people will jump boats and see Ethereum as something to hold instead of something to utilize. If the team does not deliver good changes when it finally come out, we can expect more decline despite of the "early bird" advantage.
a journey that is too long to wait for so that fundamental changes can indeed occur because even though many are still dependent on the ethereum network to date.
although you are right, that in the end there are many alternatives that can be used to cover the shortcomings that occur with ease and low costs which are not available on the current ethereum network.

but I think that ethereum will still be something that can be used not just to hold because the other alternatives are still based on ethereum so for ethereum is still a monopoly until now.

Your response is quite confusing, apologies. But even so, I kinda get some of your point. But still, as what I am saying, the people will always want the biggest bargains they can get and even more so with the whales and elite. This is why I am saying that if Ethereum fails to deliver even after all the wait, people will eventually lose interest in using and just start having Ethereum just for the sake of holding it and selling for a better price.
268  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Neven's Law: Only a Decade Before Quantum Computers Hack Bitcoin? on: January 28, 2022, 01:08:21 PM
Seems logical. But the thing is that ut us not as easy as breathing to acquire such high technologies. Amd so, we can only expect that such technology will only be available for the government or the richest people if they can manage to hide or get away with it. But by the time this happens tho, I think that bitcoin has already improved even more and has solved more problems it already has and some that may come.
269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I invested $100 for 18 years for my new born nephew on: January 24, 2022, 03:08:28 PM
First of all, congratulations. The house will never be like before. Having a kid in the house makes the family and its home become more alive.

I just hope though that you at keast briefed him about the basic functions of a wallet and the importance of the keys you gave him along with a little introduction about this industry because if not, that'll be a big problem if he somehow loses the private keys.

Also, if it were me, I would've chosen another coin other than bitcoin within the top 10-20 simply because of better potential returns. But still, 15-18 years is a long time, bitcoin may just be the better choice if you don't want the hassle of reading through a coin's white paper, developers, community etc. Anyway, good luck and again congratulations!

271  Local / Pilipinas / para sa mga na wiwindang din sa mga conspiracies about whale manipulation on: January 24, 2022, 01:20:49 PM
So eto na nga mga kabayan, mula sa topic na "bitcoin as a commodity market?" Umabot tungkol sa conspiracy theory about sa market manipulation ng malalaking crypto whales at nagandahan lang ako sa sagot nung ka forum natin na si franky1 kasi sobramg eye opener response nya. Kaya yun e.she.share ko dito baka makatulong kasi baka me mga katulad ko na matagal na sa industriyang ito pero me mga misconceptions padin.

alot of people think its "whale" manipulation of exchanges.
but after studying things. its not. its actually the minnows


in 2013-4 when the markets were $400 there were whales making walls of 1000btc
obviously with prices at $40k now it means a similar 'wall' only needs to be 10btc deep

this is because although the market is portrayed as supply and demand. where instead of 2013-4 supply was only 12mill coins and now there are 19mill.. the more supply in circulation has not resulted in more supply on the market.
eg. if average order was 2btc in 2013-4, youd think with 50% more in circulation average orders would now be 3btc

however, most market orders now are of 0.01btc-10btc not 1btc-1000btc in earlier years.

meaning there is probably an equal 100x less coin in exchanges offsetting an equal 100x more price.

sellers have figured out that buyers are not spending more money. they instead are spending the same amount.
so if someone in 2013 wanted to spend $600 a month he would get 1.5btc in 2013-4. where as now he would get 0.015btc.

the market price does not mean someone in 2013-4 who regularly paid $600 a month to buy crypto is now buying $60,000 a month.
buyers value per order has not changed. and so its the sellers who dont want to crash the market by selling 1.5btc now or even 2.25btc with there being 50% more supply in circulation than in 2013-4.
instead decide to play the economics game, offer smaller amounts of coin

imagine it this way. a seller.. with 1.5btc. wanting $60k
right now he can make 2 choices.
sell 1.5btc at $40k/btc =$60k fiat
sell 0.1btc(15 times) at $4.01k= $60.15k   (0.1*15=1.5)

sellers find it easier to not try selling 1.5btc at 40.1 as that creates a wall keeping price below that, but if he has small orders that fill of 0.01 for $401, they fill fast and are seen as a price lift to $40.1, even without buyers having to buy up tens of thousands of dollars to achieve it.

what im saying is dont worry about the only last few whales pushing 10btc.. instead watch out for the minnows putting in 0.01btc orders spaced out by $1 a coin meaning small orders causing large movements in prices

sellers realise instead of trying to push 1.5 coins on a market which can cause the price to go down. if they sell small portions in small amounts at a slight premium. the buyers dont notice the big hit as much. but it pushes the market price

ill add this for reference
screenshot taken from binance whilst writing this post


When it only takes  0.32725btc to                         When it only takes  0.31331btc to
change the price by $6(38772-38766)                   change the price by $7 (38773-38780)


then you know the problem is not due to lots of orders or lots of buyers/sellers.  but instead its the LACK of traders, which means that a price can change, not by 1cent amounts but by $2-$3 in one order line fill

if there were thousands of users:
which would put orders 1cent above the next and so order fills would only move by 1cent
or
many people will put lots of coin on one priceline meaning it would appear  as 1-20btc not 0.02btc
but instead.. look at
SELL 3->4 one order fill can change the price by $3.39
BUY 2->3 one order fill can change the price by $4.35

code can prevent big whale wallers, but human emotion and greed will play the opposite and find a way to play the markets

This is so unfortunate. This guy is well versed in what he does and still ended up in such a state while some lucky people don't even know what they are doing but raked in millions of dollars. You just gotta have to laugh at life when seeing all these sht. Meanwhile, I also saw a video on tiktok where a guy is having his tantrum over lost college and all funds saying his life is over while cursing at bitcoin. Seems that things are worse for him than the guy in your post. This is a lesson for small jewbie plebs out there.
274  Economy / Economics / Re: The Metaverse economics and Meta-laws on: January 22, 2022, 09:21:52 AM
I just dropped an specific topic on the Gambling Discussion board, but I think the issue is far wider. As many of you are aware, Facebook, now rebranded Meta, has effective plans to invest a very significant amount of money on the "Metaverse" to become the leader in this innovative area of human experience and interaction.

Whoever succeeds and becomes the dominant meta-platform (call it Roblox, Meta or however is there) is very likely to use crypto, NFT and some form of governance. My question to the forum is what do members think that will be the regulations inside the Metaverse? Who set the law (government, the company, both, the users,...)? Who and how decides the "punishment" or penalties for missuse? How do they deal with privacy?

The Metaverse seems full of legal, philosophical and economic questions yet to be answered.

Great topic to talk about.

It seems to me that we can only speculate on who or which group of people will be part of the governing body of the metaverse or anything like the sort in the future. And I believe that on the way to making the final decision for the core members of the governing body will be messy because a lot of parties or individuals will aim for this type of power.

Only by the time though that the governing body is decided is when we will he able to have an insight of what type of laws or rules will he present in the metaverse etc.
Regarding the laws or rules in the Metaverse, there are still very few formalizations. We're still in the news that it's unclear where this will move in the future. but what is certain is that Metaverse is the largest platform and also has a high financial nest, so the role of the government will include providing regulations that are later centralized and difficult to secure privacy for each user.

Regarding the control group, they are those who have already invested heavily in the development of the Metaverse. Over time the existence of a certain group always benefits and will control 50% of the finances in the Metaverse. Taxation and regulation must be a point for the government to receive multiple benefits compensation.

Indeed it is still in such a young phase and that despite this being the fact, some existing laws can be used.
The only thing that worries me though are the personal interests of the parties that have power in making decisions regarding things about the metaverse. If greed and selfishness reigns over I pity the small plebs like me not being able to maximize on the opportunities that this new thing can offer. Still though, it is indeed better than nothing.

This has been very helpful and now I am seeing the market in a widely different perspective. It seems I have been scaring myself with the wrong things. Thanks for sharing this information sir. Really feels good to know a bit more which can improve my future decisions. Right now, having this information I would like to ask sir if you would permit me to quote this information and share it to the local board so I can help some of my countrymen who also have the same misconceptions as I.

Well, if we look at how we have come to be after lots and lots of years, it won't be impossible to imagine that one way or another some more adaptive and superior type of species will emerge after another lots and lots of years again. That is, if the solar system doesn't go such drastic changes that makes it entirely impossible for this planet to be habitable for any type of specie or organism. But then again, we won't live to see that day so, . .

What type of coins you think will perform in 2022 ?



I don't know about you but instead of altcoins, you better focus on NFTs instead: the good gifs, images in the current trend and are about to form a new trend along with those virtual real estates. Besides these, the best the ng to watch out for is the gaming industry that are related to crypto. Believe me, the crypto gaming industry will blow up in the coming years. It may even get close or if not such a push, surpase the trillion marketcap. Dude. Today is the time that can be compared to the time when bitcoins were so damn cheap. Be wise.

Good luck man.

279  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Conflicting news tungkol sa pag gamit ng Binance P2P at UnionBank! on: January 21, 2022, 03:23:48 PM
Nabasa ko nga yang problem na yan tapos pinabulaanan din naman mismo ng UBP na hindi daw totoo yun at sila pa rin ang pinaka-crypto friendly na bank sa bansa which is naniniwala pa rin naman ako. Mag 2 years na din yung account ko sa kanila at nagagamit ko bilang gateway sa mga trades ko kasi mabilis sila at ngayon naman wala naman akong narereceive na notice at problema. Nag-apply lang ako thru app nila tapos nag send lang din ng docs thru app tapos verified din kinabukasan. Virtual lang din account ko at wala akong card nila kasi ayaw ko mag apply pero pwede ka kumuha kaso may bayad.

Sa pagkakaintindi ko sa issue na to, yung mga account lng sa UB na me malalaking transactions from p2p ang nakaka experience ng problems. Kase sa akin pati sa mga tropa ko na gumagamit ng binance pati UB, wala naman problema. Siguro me mga nakapag report lng ng cases of money laundering tapos marami rami ang pumansin kaya na pipilitan mag take ng further action of precautions UB/Binance towards sa mga account na me mga suspicious transactions/source of funds.
Posibleng ganyan nga nangyari kaya na-flag sila ng system na parang may suspicious activity. Tulad ng hindi naman sila madalas magkaroon ng malalaking transactions kaya maaring nag-trigger ng AMLA yung transaction na ginawa nila.

Kaya nga. Tapos yung kawawa nito yung mga bago na baka ma mislead sa information. Kadalasan pa naman tamad mag basa. Kaya mas mabuti na bago esa publiko, kumpletuhin muna info or lagyan ng parang disclaimer of sort. Lalo na na mainit takaga crypto sa halos lahat ng regulators except n lng sa mga countries na crypto friendly talaga or papunta na sa pagiging crypto friendly (o di kaya totally accepted na ang crypto) like El Salvador or brazil.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a commodity market ? on: January 21, 2022, 03:04:22 PM
excessive greed can lead to exploitation. but thats why bitcoin is good, it has more rules than say bank notes(cash)
you can write rules into bitcoin and into exchanges.

for instance to avoid large volatile pump and dumps on exchanges. the exchange can code a 'circuit break' that freezes market trading if the price dips by more then x% in one order, or one hour of orders

i already sated some summarised bitcoin features that circumvent some exploitations, but bitcoin also has many other rules to protect users. the only thing it cant protect is human emotion. so people still need to keep themselves in check and be responsible for their actions.

EG human emotion in cash transactions. is where for instance a retailer yesterday had price tickets for milk at £1.20 and overnight the retailer changed the ticket to show £1.40, and customers then have to just accept they are paying 1/6th more

where as on bitcoin exchange markets, the exchange could code rules so that anyone making a sell cant sell 1000 in one order and instead limit it to 1btc per order, aswell as limiting how many orders from that user can be allowed per minute. to prevent fast spikes/crashes

in code, any rule can be made, thats how code works. it makes rules.
bitcoin has much more safety potential and already active safety than say bank notes/human emotion


So to sum it up, conspiracy about price manipulation really isn't real and is hindered by the rules set by the codes? Welp. It seems I am scared of nonsense then and that the real problem is not price manipulation but crowd manipulation and one's control on his or her self emotions when making decisions. Every day is another chance to learn. Thanks.
