manghuhuli na ba sila?
binance na lang ata ang hindi na-access ng US kaya pinag-iinitan pa rin hanggang ngayon.  at ang SEC naman ng Pilipinas sunod-sunuran lang sa US.

baka naghihintay pa rin ng malaking offer ang mga tao dyan sa SEC mula sa binance. sayang din. duda ko lang naghihintay din sila na magpadala ng executives ang binance. nadala na sila. baka ikulong din natin gaya ng sa Nigeria. 

Tingin ko tama lang din naman ang ginagawa ng SEC, dahil nga unlicensed sila. Unfair nga naman sa mga locally registered at licensed. Pero sinabi naman ni binance na di nila iiwan ang PH market nila, baka nagkaroon na sila ng hakbang tungkol dito tapoa isang ulatan nanaman ng announcement. Kung sa nakulong naman, wala namang ganyan kabayan at sana di umabot sa ganyan.

Baka di pa nagkasundo sa "lagay" kabayan haha what I mean is pampadulas baka kasi may bisaya dito iba iisipin eh hahaha Anyways, yeah baka may niluluto sila ngayon na ikagugulat natin in the coming days or months mga kabayan at sana good news ang maririnig or mababasa natin soon sa announcement nila or else isang malaking dismaya nanaman if di talaga magkasundo. 😅

ang kalagayan ng lagay ay nagbitay. 

malaking business yang binance. kailangan rin naman nilang mag-comply sa bansa natin. darating din yan sa pinaka-serious na sanction mula sa SEC natin. at saka sila aaksyon.

at ikakagulat na lang natin si Mayor Guo pala ay executive ng binance. infiltrated na tayo  at tuloy ang ligaya ng POGO.

....
this is why we must still keep our bitcoin then but i doubt that internet will be still available in all places when war comes, maybe this is for limited chances only .

I have already tried several times to open the eyes of dreamers about the "convenience of bitcoin in critical situations" - it becomes the most useless asset if you are in the territory where there is a war. Civil or due to external aggression....
I say this as a person living in a country that has been subjected to external aggression and where 20% of the territory is a war zone.... So I tell my mother-in-law - there cryptocurrency has no value.... Cash, food, gasoline, weapons have value. Bitcoins? How are you gonna keep yourself alive with them?!

PS Watch the movie "20 days in Mariupol" - basically a documentary about a city in my country, the city of Mariupol, which was attacked by a neighboring country, and you will understand what a real war looks like, and whether in such a situation there is at least a minimal possibility to use cryptocurrency....

Btc would mean if you flee the war/country you could have wealth waiting for you.

You've described the most optimistic scenario possible. But there are nuances here too - if you are lucky to save your life, the question remains - to save and export the data to recover the wallet data. If it is a physical medium - with a very high probability it can be a "point of failure". Once again - many people do not visualize war as it actually happens. I know a lot of people who literally ran away in one piece of clothing, because their house was completely destroyed before their eyes, and the territory continued to be shelled with artillery, MLRS, aerial bombs - a 500 kilogram aerial bomb completely destroys a house....
In such a situation, there are no thoughts about saving "physical assets", there is only one goal - just to have time to run away, leaving everything...


PS as a possible option - hardware wallets, which will always be in the purse in your pocket.

well the civil war is not happening yet. but there are people who are predicting it will happen actually. which means you have the time to prepare where to store your BTC in case you wanna cross border. i guess you just have to sleep with your hardware wallet all time lol

the crazy part of this civil war, is that the group who killed the president are somewhat like heroes. dam just a crazy world we got into.
movies like this where a man killing the president hailed hero i think will be banned in my country. and to imagine how divided the US as for now, this is a crazy movie.

kaya naman pilit nilang gustong isama sa NATO yung Ukraine kahit pa nagkakagera ng dahil dyan. at dahil wala vote sinubukan naman nilang isali sa Europe. maryosep talaga nga naman.

After the attack ng Russia way back 2014, ang gusto ni Zelenskyy eh maging part ng NATO ang Ukraine for more allies at security ng bansa against Russia, but that was a bad decision. Kaya nag first move na ang Russia for war, at until di pa matapus ang war, NATO cannot accept Ukraine kase mag i-escalate ito for full fledge war, although may mga sulsol talaga kay Zelenskyy for NATO membership kaya nag expect at ngayon eh, nag sa-suffer ang bansa agaisnt Russia. Kahit sabihing kaya nila makapag defend, counting sa lahat ng nawala, civilians and soldiers at mga infrastructure ng bansa, masasabi mong talo talaga Ukraine as they become the battlfield.

kahit ang Taiwan na kinilala ng buong UN na probinsya ng China, gustong gawin country. gusto lang ng gera.

UN words doesn't mean anything, Taiwan is an independent country na may sariling government system, elected people, economy at military defense. Ayaw lang silang tanggapin na part ng UN dahil sa petition ng PRC (China) at dahil diyan sa official name ng Taiwan (Republic of China) kaya, nakakalito minsan.

ito rin naman ang rason bakit umatake ang Russia. tapos sinsabi nilang unprovoked samantalang pinalibutan na nila ang Russia. mahalaga talagang malaman ang history ng kanilang alitan dahil mas matagal na pala ito before 2014 pa. ang gusto pang controlin ng Ukraine ang river water papuntang Russia kaya naman naglagay sila ng dam.

isipin mo na lang kung NATO member yang Ukraine at gusto nilang mag regime change dyan, mas easier gawin yan kung control nila lahat na bansa nakapalibut sa Russia. marami ng bansa ang ginanito ng US at kadalasan ang presidente karumaldumal ang klase ng kamatayan, gaya ni Muamar Gadafi or Saddam.
Pinalibutan rin nila ang China ngayon eh. kung ikaw ang China syempre kelangan mo rin protekahan sarili mo. kaya hindi rin talaga aalis ang China jan sa mga isla lalo pa na gusto nilang may air access sila jan.

sa Pilipinas ang dali nagregime change dito sa panahon ni Marcos dahil ang bilis maniwala nating mga pinoy sa balita ng US.

They're just preventing something bigger, it seems, because if you want to eliminate it then it's something that's not easy to do.

Some facts are even surprising, where the government prohibits gambling in a country, but there are individuals who have power who can directly collaborate with gambling owners. I think things like this are also complicated, because on the one hand the government prohibits it, but on the other hand there are individuals who play and seek personal gain.

We've heard of cases of underground casinos where people go to gamble secretly in countries and areas where there's a ban or prohibition on gambling, and even the government are aware of these secret underground casinos but decide to keep mute because they benefit from them in one way or the other.
This only proves the fact that gambling can't be completely banned, because even if the government places laws that formally bans gambling activities, there'll always be people who will come up with alternative means for them to still gamble, with or without the notice of the government.

seen some of these local betshop owners visited by the sheriff every now and then in our neighborhood, rumors spread all over in town about it that why the betshop is never been raided by the cops.

so yea the corruption is rampant and this underground casinos thrive when the officers in town are just bolder and casino operators can get away.

Your country is de-dollarizing
Of course they are the first steps, but it's clear what's happening

Dubai is a major gold trade hub.
Abu Dhabi too?

+1 for coming from the UAE!

This happened for political reasons, especially the Arab countries’ fear that the United States would not activate the defense agreements if these countries were attacked. Also, what happened with Russia and the freezing of assets made some Arab countries diversify their investments with China and India and even join BRICS+, but I do not think that the government will go far at it.
The real change will be when the economic outlook changes, as the political reasons can change.

Definitely the reason why countries that are afraid of sanctions are now looking forward to decentralized assets. I don't think joining BRICS would solve the problem as I think some of these countries has trust issues with themselves so I think they will still prefer decentralized assets like Bitcoin or they will still use local currency to trade like CBDC or the BRICS currency but I think we still need time to get a more clear view of it's real life usage in the future.

they are waiting for the result of the wars that's happening. some are undecided whether they are going to side with Russia which they could rely on cheap energy but at the same time, afraid of sanction. 

US is also not going  direct military confrontation with China since this is going to be both devastating in their economy.  but this prolong war will still result to same thing. all in all, countries are just waiting which one will lose in trade war and they could all side to the winner.

Well, this could be related to BlackRock's deep involvement in the crypto market through largest asset, BTC. BTC Spot ETF has both positive and negative impacts. In the short term, it can boost BTC price growth, but in the long run, it can negatively impact Bitcoin's decentralization and self-custody. The crypto community has discussed this a lot, but there is no way to prevent traditional investors from buying BTC Spot ETF, and we don't have enough resources to fight against BlackRock's involvement in the crypto market. We are even happy to see that the inflow of money into BTC Spot ETF has helped many tokens in the market to rally strongly in the past few months.

I would say that the involvement of Blackrock with Bitcoin via ETF can be a two-edged sword that can surely impact Bitcoin both in positive and negative ways. Right now, it is pushing the price of BTC to a good level and for the next few months we can see how it can make things better or bitter for Bitcoin. And yes, the problem is that Bitcoin is not exclusive to anyone or a specific group so any institutional platform can be a player in the BTC market...and there is nothing we can do about it. Now, whether this "gloomy" prediction for Bitcoin in relation to Blackrock can come true or not remains to be seen...and I think we have no choice but to see things positively in light of these developments. In the past, many Bitcoin enthusiasts are looking to the day when there can be real institutional investors coming for Bitcoin and now that it is happening we fear that Bitcoin will never be the same again. Now, the next question would be: Is there anything we can do to limit the influence and power of Blackrock and similar platforms so as to minimize their impact on Bitcoin?

voting Trump i guess.     he promised things though and although this is a politician's promise, i think he is up to protect himself as well since he is becoming a target too for the big guys in the finance.

Whitney is discussing more than what Blackrock will do though. especially if you listening to what she has to say about WEF and controlling everyone who has digital IDs. she been saying all those stuff on media that also ruffled feathers to maxis.
