Yes, no doubt with that. Still we can say two things.
1. They(lawmakers) like it because they can use it for their next level corruption.
2. No, they don't like it because of its transparency and they'll be caught in the act if they support it.
You can't use Bitcoin for corruption in this sense. It is the worst instrument that you could possibly consider for corruption. There are ways that you can cheat like overpaying for it through intermediaries that charge extremely high fees, but any such corruption will be obvious right away. If you buy Bitcoin at $120k a piece, but average price is $110k during this period of time it is clear that you stole money. Also it is very easy to audit a Bitcoin reserve, so it is very difficult to try to hide any fake purchases too.
You don't know the style of our government. They can use everything for corruption as long as there is money involved in it. It's not about the price of Bitcoin that they'll buy and the time and date when. But it is the allocation that they'll play around it. We know how our government works and it's been cooking us with our own oil, using our taxes in the wrong way and that's why even if it's auditable and such. They can always play around with the papers and the auditing through a loop that they can since it's also volatile. But that's the next level that they will find out.

I guess it matters as a precedent but Im more interested if Norway did the same thing because they have gigantic foreign reserves spare to invest.   Instead of a national debt, the country has gigantic wealth so their reserves would be considerable if directed towards Bitcoin.
   I believe Norway has about a fund of 1 trillion and the country is 5 million people pretty small but with alot of oil so they saved it with the idea the commodity wealth wont last forever and it must be invested; possibly the best government fiscal policy in the world.   
  Philippines also great they would do this but few countries have alot of spare resources to invest, mostly we are all trading back and forth debt and relying on trade alot.
5 million of population is nothing to our country because we've got more than 100 million in population and it keeps growing due to the vast teenage pregnancy. To be honest, there's a lot of deliberation about our yearly budget and so sad that it's an hot issue that we're taking right now because of many corrupt officials that are summing up from billions of Philippine pesos to a trillion and that's a lot of money if converted into dollars. That's around $8 billion and likely 20% of our yearly budget only comes to fake ghost projects for flood controls and not naming the other ones yet in other sectors like health care, education, etc. So, this proposed strategic reserve is better where our taxes go.

Oo nga, may ganyang mga pagkakataon talaga. At valid din naman ang ginagawa ng SEC at totoo yang mga ganyang issue na may mga suicides na nangyayari dahil hindi nila kinakaya kung paano maningil itong mga lending apps na ito. Pero simple lang din naman kasi yan, basta umutang ka, dapat bayaran mo. Malaki man o maliit, dahil noong gipit ka ay pinagbigyan ka at tuparin ang napagkasunduan sa bayaran.

Yun Sana ang Tamang approach kabayan, utang kasi yan at obligasyon na dapat bayaran kaya dapat bago ka nangutang meron kang inaasahan na pambayad, nangyayari kasi madalas kinakalimutan un bayaran kaya nauuwi sa ganitong sitwasyon, mas maganda wag ka na lang. Mangutang kung ayaw mong mauwi ka sa ganyan problema. Mas maigi na lang siguro kung ganun.
Ayan ang masakit sa ating mga kapwa pinoy. Sobrang bait kapag uutang, tapos kapag napagbigyan parang kakalimutan nalang. Mapa-banko man o personal na kakilala. Sana magbago na ang attitude ng karamihan sa kanila kapag umutang. Maging responsable nalang para maiwasan yung girian. Kasi noong nangangailangan at nasa panahon ng gipit ay sa utang lumapit at pinagbigyan naman. Kaya ako kapag may lumalapit sa akin, sinasabi ko nalang na wala akong budget para sa utang dahil malaki laki na din ang personal napautang ko sa mga kamag anak at kaibigan pero walang bumalik at nakaalala.

Okay naman yung proposed bill, wala akong problem dyan sa bagay na yan, ang kinaiinis ko lang mahilig talaga itong si Boy pagpag Bam Aquino kumuha ng mga bagay na hindi naman siya ang nagsimula talaga tapos palalabasin niya siya yung author, may pinagkopyahan lang siya nyan. Dahil may nauna ng gumawa ng batas tungkol dito sa Blockchain Tecnology.

At ang unang nagpanukala nyan ay isang mambabatas na si Rep. Joey Salceda nung taong 2020 at 2022 pa House bill no. 7864 18th congress
at house bill no. 658 19th congress of the republic. Na hanggang ngayon ay pending parin. Lalo na siguro dyan sa Senate magiging pending din yan for sure hindi dahil sa
negative ako, pero sa mga pulitiko na meron tayo sa ngayon kokonti lang ang matino.
Hindi ko alam paano tumatakbo itong mga proposed bill. Kung kapag kopyado ay may authorization ba ng naunang nag file para dalawa silang ma-credit kapag ito ay naisabatas na. Maganda naman ang bill na ito para sa pagkakaroon ng transparency at makita ng tao kung saan mapupunta ang bawat piso ng pondo. Dapat isapubliko din ang blockchain na gagamitin kapag may napili na sila, kasi pagkaalala ko ay yung venom blockchain yung malapit sa gobyerno dahil sa mga naunang launching dito sa bansa natin. Style na siguro si Senator yang ganyan katulad doon sa free education/college law.

Re: What’s Your Profit Goal in Sports Betting – 100% Daily or 10% Daily?

The fun isn't there and the safer route is still the best choice if there's a goal. So, this solely is in sports betting and both are doable. But we know to ourselves if we're so good in it and I think that the best ones have got a lot of money to stake and lose. However, to the normal folks like us that don't have that much to bet on, given the amount of bankroll for this condition. Many might choose to take it slow and bet only with a couple of bucks for every match that they'll bet.

Testing your knowledge and pundit skills on sports you love and taking risks trying to hit higher rewards, going against the bookies favorites markets and against all odds with the little amount you can afford to lose is what makes it fun.

$5k bankroll is what $50 bankroll is to some of us. There are levels to things so it's good to know where you belong. High risk, low stake  Grin
You're right. That's how small it is for the other gamblers who's got a lot of bankroll but to us, small time gamblers. We know how huge it is already and how long it can turn us to the games that we'll do it. Sports betting isn't the only choice but I'd avoid the other luck based games if there are other ways like through poker, I'd do it. So the games that has a slower progress has a better chance of winning.

I just played a 12-game freeroll for the first time in my life (at least I don't recall playing it in the past). It was a fun and weird experience. I had to look up the rules for some of the games as I played it.
As long as the fun is in it, that's all that matters. And that's good to hear that you're able to play some free roll because not everyone sees it when it's listed there. Because it usually comes out a few hours before the table and that free roll starts. The rules are not usually written upon registration as it assumes that everyone knows how to play poker. But it's not a big deal, as long as you're in, you get to play that and have fun, that's it.

Simple lang naman, magsasabi lang siya ng motion for invitation tapos okay na, sa next hearing invited na. Tapos itong si Ridon, grabe mga tanong sa contractors "are you denying that you don't have a ghost project?". Grabe lang, ako nalang sana naging tagapagtanong nila.

The disadvantage about going smaller odd and big stake is one bad day is enough to wreck 5 days of non-stop profits.

10% of $5000 is $500 x5 is $2500

One day wrong bet and the $5000 capital is gone, you're only left with $2500. Can't even take risks so what's the fun

there are those that will want to cheat.
The network has its integrity and unlikely people will cheat or try to do something about it. The only way that people that are going to cheat is through scamming other Bitcoin users like the traditional way. Offering something in return of making some money they promise and those usual scams that we know with the use of fiat and that's why if it's about the bitcoin blockchain, no one can cheat in there. But if it's about P2P transactions, there will be ways for the bad actors to do it.

It depends on them and there's a reason why the minimum withdrawal is 500 chips. Maybe some modification could be done if they see that there's a demand for it.

That demand will need a lot more weight before it can be looked into and put forth for consideration.
They know about that and even without demand as long as they consider the price of Bitcoin as quite high, it could be done. But who knows if they will soon.

On the freerolls, are chips bought to be used or it is provided on the platform?
I use PokerNow more often, but the two platforms are way different from each other, that's why my questions are coming this way.
You don't need to have chips if it's a free roll. You only have to register for you to participate. There are daily free rolls that you can enjoy. You still got some chips, right? there are some small prizes you can add if you win 1st-3rd place.

Justifiable naman dahil sa risk ng terrorism funding at money laundering. Pero, lagyan natin ng pero dahil kung hindi talaga nila ipa-priority ang good markets at competitions, tama yung ginagawa nila. Sa atin bilang mga users, alam natin na mas maganda kung maglalaan pa sila ng mga panibagong VASP licenses para sa new competitors. At kung ito naman ang valid reason nila kung bakit tinitigil muna nila, wala din naman tayong magagawa at para sa akin, okay naman yung rasunan nila. Sad nga lang dahil hindi priority ang better competition.

Although this is still a proposal. Most of our lawmakers have no understanding of what Bitcoin is, and that's why they need to make themselves informed very well about it before doing it. As a citizen, I am for it and I just want them to realize and analyze it first before doing it. Because this could be another way for them to swindle money and that's why even it's for the adoption that we're hoping for, there is a need for them to do several consultations from the industry experts before passing and signing it into law.

I don't know but for sure this lawmakers have a lot of advisers behind them to tell what Bitcoin or Blockchain it and then to tie everything that it might be good for their country to have this Bitcoin reserve. They can even have El Salvador for example in maybe in the floor in their deliberation.
They sure have but the question is, are they willing to listen to them? In fact, only a few law makers have an idea of what it is and are willing to listen. Some advocates tried to run for a government post but didn't win with the knowledge they have not only on Blockchain but also Bitcoin. And with too many problems that our country is facing right now, this is a low priority for them.

But that is the thing though, don't get me wrong, but Philippines has one of the highest score in terms of corruption. So this could also be some that doesn't want this to happen and stop because it's going to be out of their control. But hopefully, the government will approve this proposal for the betterment of their country.

Having a strategic Bitcoin reserve would be amazing just like we have been seeing in the United States. Bitcoin will soon be the reserve currency of so many countries looking at the way world government and creating strategic reserves to contain the storage of Bitcoin for a long period of time. If more countries indulge in this, it will get to a time when Bitcoin will be very scarce and the only thing we would be able to do is to trade it without holding it, many with other tokens. The adoption is continual and hoping to see more countries adopt it.

Re: The acceptance of Bitcoin by the younger generation to me is a welcome developme

on 30/08/2025, 21:43:35 UTC
It all started with crypto exchanges wherein they are allowing their users to use Bitcoin holdings as collateral but of course, maybe 70%-80% of total value that they can give. It depends on their assessment but the banks are getting the idea now. It's true that the narrative has changed a lot for Bitcoin. Before, many were scared about it. This time, if they know that you own some, you'd be treated as if you're so rich. Little did they know, we're just holders but we don't have that much for them to be impressed.
That's also true.
This type of crypto based collateral is being staking through various centralized exchanges and currently we see many platforms that provide this type of loan service. And there are also things like adding liquidity. Basically, the risk here is completely on the user. The risk of the platforms is very low. So the profit in this investment is also high.
And that's why it's natural for banks to be attracted to it. I think in the future, most banks will be providing this type of loan, because here they don't have to go physically and waste time and money to take collateral, which is less risky.
Let's hope for the best. We will have that leverage if they will start offering that kind of service in the future. Because many of us might be in need of that. We've got more into crypto than in fiat and that's why we're having lesser privilege and services offered by them because crypto or having Bitcoin is irrelevant to them. So, if they will start doing that, they're the reason why their mark up is going to be high of having two markets that they have for their loaning services. For fiat and as well as for crypto customers that could be loyal to them once given that grant successfully.

Siya pa rin siguro yan pero posibleng na hack na nga din dahil kung hindi man siya nag update noong nagkaroon ng attack sa forum at nakuha ang mga login details, baka iba na handler niyan. Pero dahil wala namang ibang ginawa after lang mag update at mag online, siya pa rin siguro yan.

Dapat din maregulate yang mga lending apps. Dahil diyan din madaming mga kababayan nating mga adik sa sugal kumukuha ng pang pondo nila sa mga gambling platforms.

Dapat lang din naman na maging responsable itong mga kababayan natin na magbayad dahil kapag nabaon sila sa utang, wala nang balak magbayad. The way kasi sila maningil, parang nanghaharass.

Yung paraan ng paniningil ang talagang dapat matutukan meron kasing mga palautang nandadamay un tipong bibigay or gagamitin un number mo para maging co-barrower or parang gagawin kang reference tapos pag hindi na nagbabayad madadamay ka na sa mga guguluhin, meron pang mga insidente na yung mga kamag anak at mga kaibigan sa social media account kokontakin at sila yung pipilitin maglabas ng info dun sa nangutang kaya kailangan talagang matutukan talaga un mga lending app na yan.
