guys, ask ko lang if san bang site puede maginvest, o need paba broker sa pag bili ng stocks?

@OP, we will appreciate if you could provide us a link to your source.

I'm a little bit confused why Malta was included as one of the top hotspots for use of BTC as per OP's reference article? I just hope that classification don't include its preference as one of the most crypto friendly states, and  currently hosting big crypto businesses such as Binance, etc..

If I'm not mistaken, being a hotspot for BTC use includes local community adoption e.g. with real world usage such as using it as  mode of payment in a market or any payment transaction and it has significant BTC holders as compared with other big countries.

I guess hosting exchanges or other crypto business alone don't qualify Malta as a top hotspot for BTC use other than for trading transactions in exchanges it is hosting. Imho.

I suppose President Trump has valid reasons to ban Tiktok and WeChat and I guess its more about national security its very obvious that China is exerting its influence over many aspects of society globally through these social media giants - and this is much like how China feels by banning Facebook and Google - which I think this is also a response in light with these previous incidents.

My only concern is that the U.S may find having a hard time banning these companies totally as we all know some people may find a way circumvent it not unless the U.S. lays down solid technical infrastructure to fully enforce this ban order.

It is not a total guarantee that a project is not a scam even if it had satisfied all of the points mentioned above that is why we continue to have due diligence or investigate further about the project.


Well at least they must have a working MVP or else it is highly unlikely that they will ever produce one. As far as I know, most  legitimate exchanges are already in operation before they had conducted a bounty campaign to promote their company.



Binance is already an establish company, and I don't know if they had initiated a bounty campaign that could be related to your inquiries but I think you could try other support channels instead of using Twitter so that they can better address your concern. Moreover, I presume CZ is a very busy person that is why we should take such inquiries to their dedicated support team on different media channels accordingly.

Aside from that, I think every bounty hunter must do a little bit of research about the project and its core team's identity. Also there are a handful of steps as listed below that I think one should do first in order to verify the integrity of a project and steer us away from possible joining a scam project.

1. Verify project's viability
2. Verify core team's identity
3. Check if they have a working MVP already
4. Check repository activity
5. Ask related questions on the project's social media channels, etc...

If we do these things, there is a high possibility that we could en counter some red flags and should already be doubtful about it and avoid it that particular project. In this way, we will not be wasting our time and should discourage possible scammers from doing such awful acts.

By comparison, the above mentioned BTC allegedly used for illegal activities only sums up to  more than $ 9.79 billion and its almost traceable!

Now a recent statistics shows a frightening amount of more than $ 232 billion (see link below)  on illegal drugs spending alone and we have to consider that most of these transactions were made possible by using fiat money which is almost untraceable.

Now if those BTC hits the market, which I assume is happening right now, I think it doesn't have a big impact if we ought to compare it to illegal transactions using fiat money. Imho.

Glad you've made this guide @OP! Additionally I also just wanna share a reference guide and tutorial for stop loss orders from Binance Academy. I hope all of you guys would find it helpful.

Well I'm not too excited on these recent market developments because I knew most of us have experienced a sense of loss of faith during the past bear market and its very premature to put all of out hopes for an impending bull run.

But hey, we could scalp some gains this current volatility especially for those who are into day trading. Imho.

I think its confusing to acknowledge that altcoins did massive gains lately when we all knew the fact that almost all of it hasn't recovered yet from the last crypto winter and from its ATH.

Nevertheless, I think its a good start for the overall crypto industry which everyone are hoping for and could be a trend for a more bullish cycle up ahead Imho.

Guys I think we should always remember that no matter what kind of browser we prefer to use in order to enhance our privacy, at the end of the day, it won't matter anymore if we don't observe proven cybersecurity practices that could minimize our risk of being compromised!

So I guess the best way to do this is to do it in a comprehensive approach, combining the best security and privacy practices and observe it consistently. Imho.

Below are some links that could guide us improve our security and privacy:

I beg to disagree! We cannot deny the fact that in one way or the other, it had already tainted the public perception of cryptocurrencies in general and that is why we cannot blame people for being reluctant to join the crypto bandwagon!

I believe that up to this day, there are still many scams in progress that are related to crypto and that we as crypto enthusiasts should unite in fighting these types of  scams from bad actors if we aspire crypto mass adoption. Imho.

Actually, wala tayong dapat katakutan o ikabahala sa Anti-Terrorism Bill na ito not unless may ginagawa tayong masama na labag sa batas o kontra sa estado.

Pagdating naman sa kahalagahan ng paggamit ng non-custodial wallets sa panahong ito, palagay ko ay para na ding walang pinagkaiba dahil maaari hinde ma freeze yung account natin pero hinde ito ibig sabihin na hinde masusubaybayan ng Gobyerno kung mang illegal na gawain meron tayo. Palagay ko, mas epektibo  pa din yung paggamit ng cash o unmarked bills para mapanatili yung  privacy na hinahangad ng bawat isa sa atin. Imho.

Right! I would like to presume its an experiment to dominate the crypto space, leveraging its mighty economy to achieved this goal. In fact, I've seen news after news on this plan via social media channels that I think they are conditioning the minds of the people on how great this initiative could be and often exaggerating its supposed to be impact on major crypto like BTC together with the fiat U.S. dollar. So lets see what will happen next.

I don't think China will totally abandon their fiat money in lieu of its proposed digital yuan for the simple reason that they will lose their ability to print money out of thin air to float their economy.

With digital money, people can easily track it if ever they  try to mint fresh digital assets into circulation so that I don't think China will ever like it, allowing prying eyes on what they are doing behind the curtain. Imho.

I think you must have overlooked previous posts which have pointed out remedies to this situation. Particularly, here is an interesting article that tackles that issue.

Bitcoin Firms Report Uptick in Demand for Inheritance Services

You are right! I bet most BTC hodlers have a plan on how to convey their digital assets to their intended beneficiaries when the time comes. As a matter of fact, there are services and mechanisms that caters to these kinds of needs from these hodlers and at the same time, other digital assets have also plans to set up infrastructures to mitigate these kind of situation.

I did found an article that could enlighten us more about this matter.

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-firms-report-uptick-in-demand-for-inheritance-services

So in essence, I disagree with OP's idea of BTC being crushed in the future on the premise of mishandled private keys alone. Imho.

In this trying times, it is but admirable that you have an initiative to help other people who are in need. I hope your empathy will inspire other people to the same. Keep it up

I think having a consistent and a steady hashrate reflects a renewed interest in BTC mining and could complement its price as what is happening right now.

I just hope this scenario will continue over the next few weeks / months that I assume something good will happen with it.

There maybe systems that could give better protection but there are no guarantee that it can offer us 100 percent total protection because all online entities are inherently  insecure and most of us can't do anything about it but apply the best possible defenses as much as possible.
