A news just popped in about newly appointed Digital asset global head Matthew McDermott is interested and firm to embrace blockchaun and digital assets.

"We are exploring the commercial viability of creating our own fiat digital token, but it’s early days as we continue to work through the potential use cases," he said.

In addition, he also expanding their team by hiring Oli Harris as their head of strategy. Mr. Harris is known for the launching of JPMCoin last year JPMorgan's digital asset. Seems banks are coming in. I wonder if these executions will be a threat to our precious [btc]itcoin.

What can you say about the current defi hypes? Somehow I can feel that it is the same hype during thr last bull run when ICO really heat up the market. The only difference is we can experienced their platform and able to monetize any features they are offering which include different sector, from lending, gambling, gaming and financial view.

Are you positive abut defi pulling up the market crisis for cryptocurrency?

Im just amazed with this news that an exchange on Venezuela can now send crypto without internet and only via sms text messages. To be honest this is a major step up but of course we cant deny that risk is associated with this method.

You can now send crypto without the internet in Venezuela, a local exchange has revealed. The exchange enables users to send crypto through a simple Short Massaging Service (SMS). This is a strategy to spur adoption.

The revolutionary SMS based crypto payment has been developed by Criptolago exchange. This is a strategy to grow crypto adoption in a country where internet penetration is still a nightmare. Transactions do not need users to be connected to the internet.

The exchange says the innovation came amid calls from Nicholas Maduro, the President for local firms to come up with solutions to alternative payment methods. The President’s vision was for a country where users can transact using offline payments ecosystems that are also compatible with the local currency; Petro.

With this innovation, Im thinking it still has risk for users though this advancement is truly revolutionized in the blockchain. For example cases like these:

• Mobile got stolen by someone who knows its working on their countr
• SMS is probably vulnerable somehow, what if hackers can bypass the system of sending message through another reciepient?
• With the system, probably blockchain isnt gonna move faster than using traditional address to address as it uses an encrypted text messages and might got some error.

Anyways, lets just think of it as starter and those flaws might be solved with additional security protocol in the future.

I am indeed stop participating on airdrop for a very long time. Specifically the one that launched in forum where you need to do simple task and fill up forms. Maybe around 2017 to 2018 where it still quite famous but I can see its now fading and not worth it anymore. Maybe there are few but these finds are quite rare.

I suggest the following which surely give you chance to earn legally but chances are still depend how witty you are and if you have charisma.


PARTICIPATE ON AMA
What is this? AMA stands for Ask Me Anything which is about organizing a discussion and raising some questions pertaining to different altcoins. By this, we can know the strength and capability of each platform and its use cases related to blockchain. Most of these AMAs are conducted by famous groups or entities such as Binance, Gains Discussion, Kucoin, and many more. The process is quite simple where you just participate by raising good and intelligent question or query regarding a project. The host usually facilitate it to have an organize set up where discussion and raised questions wouldnt be clogged up. I participate mostly in this rather than doing some airdrops. Take note those projects, doing this are much more of a legit and secure one and if your lucky you can win some good amount of their tokens. I like this cause your knowledge increases as discussion uncover such usage of their platform. I see it as an advantage cause it simply add something on our brains in relation to cryptocurrencies.

PARTICIPATE ON DAPPS CONTEST OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS

Unlike others, I like platforms that introduced their dApps especially id its about gaming. I believe gaming platform is one way to entertain users. Just like cartesi and agareum. They have their dApps built on gaming which I believe aside from having fun and enjoyment will give you chance to earn tokens. Well there are different dApps on different platform and not just only on ethereum network. Here learning is also obtainable than simply airdrop stuff. You can search more dApps in here: https://www.stateofthedapps.com

You can pick depends on your likes. Sometimes they have contest or tournaments launch which can give you rewards.

Tips how to win on these events:

For AMA, just be sincere and do a research first to understand the platform of projects. This will give you ideas on how you can provide an interesting questions or answers.

For Twitter raffles, I guess there are no such thing as guide here as host will pick winners randomly and your chance to win will depend on your luck. If there is one you can mentioned here.

For dApps, just study well how its work and search some guidelines on the internet most users uploading tips especially on Youtube on how you can take advantage od whatever platform youre into.

If youre not aware Binance has launched its 6th Community vote. This time the tokens of choices are Moviebloc and VIDT.


As I checked those two platform. I did noticed the huge difference of their marketcap and volume. In terms of trading, Mbl is highly traded with 12 different exchanges. I think chances that they can win this voting is typically high. Considering the use case as well isnt bad especially they are focuses to become the biggest movie and content decentralized film ecosystem which isn't bad.

On the otherhand, VIDT is a project is a type of platform service focusing on prevention of document fraud using blockchain technology. It's also one of the promising project Ive seen in terms of data protocol and identifying and verifying fraud. They also have some moderate volume and listed on major exchanges such as Kucoin and BinanceDeX.

---

Nevertheless both platform has indeed different use cases but both demonstrate a strong foundation. In your opinion, which among the two has potential to be listed on Binance? Community wise, MBL has an advantage but this voting will depend on bnb holders as their vote will likely decide the winner. Aside from what I mentioned. I hope you can help our beloved holders to decide which is between the two is most useful and deserved to be list on Binance. Can you share your thoughts among the two and give some ideas about their platform. I am voting too but hardly can't decide which is good. Still have almost 2days utmost to pick.

NOTE: Posted this on my other account on forum. I'm sharing this  post also here. As part of discussion.

Hello, Ive noticed altcointalks doesnt have same option if you click the summary to view the last created poat of this person same with the famous forum bitcointalk. I think we should have that option to easily viewed also our created post. What do you think admin? Its not that we imitate but to be honest its really useful.

I am planning to buy this device ngayong 2020 kaya naman I decided to post a simple guide and what's to expect from this newest hardware product of Ledger. One of my bucket list na dapat talaga matupad this year. Especially I'm after security cause having a hardware wallet lessen the risk of hacked and breached of our asset. I have some cases of attempting of accessing my accounts and to avoid being a victim is go for this "Not your keys, Not your coins"

Madami namang ibang choice katulad ng Trezor at Keepkey pero based sa mga nabasa ko online sa reviews and feedback na din the best daw talaga ang Nano X ledger. Tumambay na din ako sa Hardware wallet board para magbasa basa and ayun I'm finally decided to get one of this ngayong taon.

I am using some images and some thoughts from this reference review by one of the best reviewer ng mga products and anything about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Review of Ledger Nano X by Jordan Tuwiner


Ano ano ba ang mga nasa package pag nag avail ka ng Nano X Ledger


Ito ang mga kasama sa product:

• Ledger Nano X1
• USB C cable
• Keychain for device
• 3 recovery sheets
• Ledger stickers

Sidenote: Good thing is type C na siya dahil kalimitan mg latest phone ito na ang ginagamit at pag ito ang inyong binili siguradong hindi kayo malulumaan since ang mga new phone na lalabas mostly ay using type C cable na.

Kamusta naman ang design neto?

Kung ikukumpara sa dating Ledger Nano S ay talagang mas malaki ito at pati ang screen niya ay mas pinalaki para na rin sa ating mas magandang paggamit. Nakikita ko palang siya sa picture pero sa palagay ko sa mga mayroon na masasabi nilang sulit ang pag avail. As far as I know madami na din ang meron na ng product na ito dito. Tulad ni @crwth which is nakita ko sa mga confirmation ng post about availing mg product na ito.

Magkano ba ang presyo nito?

Kung bibisitahin natin ang website ng Ledger ay makikita mong $119 ang akmang presyo nito. Sa Php is umaabot ito ng P5,950 pero dahil ipapaship natin ito mula sa ibang bansa expect na natin ang mga karagdagang fees which is shipping fee, custom tax duties at iba pa. Kung susumahin siguro aabot din ng mga P9k to P10k ang magastos.


Pag Set up ng Nano X

Ang kagandahan ng bagong Nano X is compatible na siya with iOS device. At mayroon na siyang Bluetooth para mas mapadali ang pagset up. Mayroon din ang Ledger na App na Ledger Live kung san maaari ma connect ang Nano X sa app para mas madali natin magamit at mas convenient lalo na sa mga mobile users na tulad ko. Hindi ko sinasabing mas powerful siya sa mga famous wallet like bitcoin core, electrum pero siguro mas madali talaga kapag hardware wallet na madali natin mabitbit anywhere ang mas trip ko as a crypto enthusiast. Ang guide na ito ay binase ko sa post ni Jordan Tuwiner gamit ang kanyang Iphone pero siguro same lang ito kung sa android na device ang gagamitin.

Ito ang mga Steps kung paano ninyo maissync ang inyong Nano X device sa Ledger Live App

Maraming salamat sana ay maayos ang guide na ito para sa Nano Ledger. Maapreciate ko dun sa may mga gamit na device kung may kulang or maidadagdag kayo na impormasyon para dito. Salamat.
