Nito lamang nakaraang simula ng buwan – kung saan nakakita tayo ng malaking pag-akyat ng presyo ng mga pangunahing cryptocurrency – ngayon ay nagkakaroon ng malubhang pag-urong ang merkado ng crypto.

Hindi pinalad ang pag-akyat ng halaga ng Bitcoin patungong $28k kahapon upang malusutan ang 200-araw na Simple Moving Average. Nagresulta ito sa 3% na pagtama sa presyo nito sa nakaraang 24 oras. Ang mga altcoins tulad ng Ethereum, Dogecoin, at XRP ay sumusunod din sa pag-urong ng BTC, at nagkakaroon din ng malaking pagbaba ang kanilang halaga.
Gayunpaman, karamihan sa mga eksperto ay nananatiling positibo sa Bitcoin sa parehong maikli at mahabang panahon, at lubos na inaasahan ang senaryong “Uptober” na magaganap. Inaasahan nilang magtatapos ang BTC sa pagitan ng $32,000 hanggang $35,000 na halaga sa buwan, dahil sa patuloy na kagustuhan tungkol sa Bitcoin spot ETFs, pagbaba ng antas ng inflasyon, at umaayon na mga teknikal na aspeto.
Sa inaasahang pagpasok ng bagong puhunan sa merkado, ang bagong cryptocurrency – ang Bitcoin Minetrix – ay sinusuportahan din ng mga sikat na mangangalakal upang magpakita ng malaking pag-akyat. Sa loob lamang ng isang linggo, ang token ICO ay nakakalap na ng halos $400k sa unang yugto ng pagpopondo.
Nagbigay ang mga Eksperto ng Positibong Prediksyon sa Presyo ng Bitcoin sa Kabila ng Panandaliang Pagkalugi
Sa nakaraang buwan, patuloy na sinusundan ng Bitcoin ang takbo na nagpapakita ng positibong pag-akyat, na agad namang sinusundan ng halos kumpletong pag-urong ng kanyang rali. Ang takbo na ito ay patuloy na nagpapalabas ng mga nagbebenta at mga bumibili, na nagiging sanhi ng kaguluhan sa BTC trading market.
Ang pagkilos ng presyo kahapon ay walang pinagkaiba, kung saan tinamaan ng pinakamalaking cryptocurrency ang antas na $28k ngunit hindi nito napanatili. Ang presyo ng BTC ay kasalukuyang nasa $27.4k, at ang open interest sa token ay bumaba na sa parehong antas bago ang simula ng rali.
Gayunpaman, si Michael van de Poppe ng MN Trading, na may halos 700k mga tagasunod sa X, ay nagpapakita na ang mas mataas na-time frame chart ng BTC ay maganda pa rin, at ipinakita pa na ang presyo ng Bitcoin ay maaaring umabot sa antas na $35k sa susunod na 4 hanggang 8 na linggo kung magpapatuloy ito sa pagtanggap ng higit sa 200-week EMA.
Sa totoo lang, nagpapakita ang mga teknikal na aspeto ng BTC ng positibong larawan, kung saan nagbibigay ng “buy” signal ang TradingView sa araw-araw na time frame. Ang mga bulls ay umaasang malusutan ang mahalagang 200-araw na Simple Moving Average na nagkakahalaga ng $28,037 upang magkaroon ng malakas na pagpapatuloy.
Sa parehong paraan, ang sikat na analyst na si @davthewave, na may halos 150k mga tagasunod sa X, ay nagpapakita na ang BTC weekly Gaussian channel ay naging berde, na tradisyonal na nangangahulugan ng pagsisimula ng susunod na bull run.
Ang mangangalakal at analyst na si @CryptoJelleNL, na may 50k mga tagasunod sa X, ay higit na positibo ang tingin sa BTC, inaasahan niyang umabot ito sa antas na $48k sa mga darating na buwan, at may malakas na posibilidad ito sa Oktubre na maabot ang $32k. Binibigyang-diin niya na ang Bitcoin ay muling nasa itaas ng kanyang 21-week Explosive Moving Average, isang indikasyon na dating nagsilbing suporta para sa bull market.
Si Benjamin Cowen ng IntoTheCryptoverse, na may halos 800k mga tagasunod sa X, ay nagpapakita na ang BTC dominance ay matagumpay na na-retest ang kanyang bull market support band at patuloy na tumataas.
Bukod sa malalakas na teknikal na aspeto, patuloy na nagbibigay ng malaking tulong sa halaga ng BTC ang pag-aabang sa spot Bitcoin ETFs. Kahit pa ang inaalantala ng SEC ang pagdi-desisyon ukol sa mga nakabinbin na aplikasyon, patuloy na naniniwala ang mga mamumuhunan na ang isang spot BTC ETF ay hindi kung, kundi kailan.
Inaasahan na ng mga analysts ng Bernstein at iba pang mga eksperto sa merkado na ang ETF ay maaaring aprubahan ng maaga sa 2024, kaya’t ang mga pagkaantala ng SEC ay hindi nakakapigil sa kagustuhan ng mga mamumuhunan.
Sa kabilang banda, aktibo at bukas na itinutulak na ng mga US lawmakers mula sa parehong mga partido ang SEC na aprubahan ang mga ETF, na maaaring magdulot ng mas maraming mamumuhunan na magbukas ng mga long position sa BTC.
Bukod dito, maaaring makatanggap ng hindi inaasahang ngunit malugod na tulong mula sa ekonomiya ng US ang Bitcoin, dahil kamakailan ay nagpakita ng mga palatandaan ng paglamig ang PCE index, isa sa mga indikasyon ng inflasyon.
Bagamat may mga ilang opisyal mula sa Federal Reserve ang nagpapahiwatig ng posibilidad ng karagdagang pagtaas ng interes, ang mga eksperto tulad ni Warren Pies ng 3Fourteen Research ay nakikitang hindi ito malamang.
Sa madaling salita, magandang tanda ang nakikita sa merkado para sa Bitcoin at maaaring abutin nito ang antas na $35k sa dulo ng Oktubre.
Ang Proyektong “Susunod na Bitcoin” na Bitcoin Minetrix ay Papalapit Nang Maabot ang $400k sa Kanilang ICO
Hindi lamang ang BTC ang inaasahang umangat sa Oktubre – ang bagong altcoin na Bitcoin Minetrix ay patuloy na nakakakuha ng malakas na interes sa kanilang ICO, na nakakalap na ng $385k sa loob lamang ng isang linggo.
Ang proyekto ay naglalayong gawing abot-kamay sa mga retail investor ang industriya ng Bitcoin mining, samakatuwid, nag-aalok ito ng mahusay na pagkakataon na kumita ng passive BTC rewards.
Noong mga unang araw, mas mabuting mag-mina ng Bitcoin kaysa bumili nito sa bukas na merkado. Sa katunayan, si Laszlo Hanyecz – ang lalaking ginawang katatawanan dahil sa pagpapapalit niya ng 10,000 BTC para sa dalawang malalaking pizza – lahat ng kanyang mga token ay mina niya mismo.
Gayunpaman, ang kakayahang kumita ng sektor na ito ay nauwi sa paligsahan ng mayayaman at malalaking kumpanya, kung kaya’t naging imposible para sa isang karaniwang tagahanga na may CPU na mag-mina ng kanyang sariling BTC. Ipinakita ng mga pag-aaral na ang pagmimina ng 1 Bitcoin ay maaaring magkakahalaga ng higit sa $200,000 sa ilang bansa.
Upang hamunin ang monopolyo na ito, ang cloud mining platform ng Bitcoin Minetrix ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga mamumuhunan na umupa ng isang bahagi ng kapangyarihang pang-komputasyon, nang hindi kailangang patakbuhin ang operasyon ng mining mismo.
Maaari ring bilhin ng mga mamumuhunan ang mga token na $BTCMTX at ito’y i-stake upang kumita ng mga mining credits. Ang mga credit na ito ay maaaring maipadala sa isang burn address, kapalit ng bahagi ng kita o oras ng cloud mining, na nagreresulta sa magandang gantimpala na BTC rewards.

Ang cloud mining ay hindi isang bagong konsepto, ngunit ang patuloy na mga panloloko at mga katiwalian noon ay naging dahilan ng pag-alis ng mga mamumuhunan mula sa industriya. Ang mga ganitong mamumuhunan ay maaaring magtiwala ngayon sa tokenized na pamamaraan ng Bitcoin Minetrix, sapagkat maaari nilang i-unstake at ibenta ang kanilang mga token anumang oras – walang panloloko at walang pangmatagalang mga kontrata.
Ang mga interesadong mamimili ay maaaring bumili at i-stake ang BTCMTX token sa pre-sale sa bitcoinminetrix.com para sa halagang $0.011 gamit ang debit / credit card o sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalit ng ETH, USDT o BNB.

Lahat ng mga hindi nag-invest sa $BTC noong 2013 ay nagsisisi na ngayon sa kanilang naging desisyon, at kung isa ka sa kanila, pagtuunan mo na ng pansin ang mga coins na maaaring magkaroon ng parehong kapalaran at mag-invest agad-agad!
Sa totoo lang, ang 2013 ay tunay na matagal na panahon na, pero maswerte tayo at ang mundo ng online ay nagbibigay-daan sa atin na agad na makahanap ng impormasyon tungkol sa kasaysayan at ipaalala sa ating mga sarili ang ilan sa mga kapana-panabik na mga bagay.
Isang kapanapanabik na bagay, lalo na sa mundo ng crypto, ay ang katotohanang sampung taon na ang nakalilipas, noong tiyak na Oktubre 2013, ang halaga ng Bitcoin ($BTC) ay $204 lamang! Ang lahat ng mga bagong pasok lamang sa mundo ng crypto ay maaaring hindi makapaniwala sa impormasyong ito, ngunit ang katotohanan ay noong sampung taon na ang nakalilipas, nang ang Bitcoin ay isang “bago at sariwang cryptocurrency,” pa lamang ay hindi malapit ang kanyang presyo sa kasalukuyan, na umaabot ng $28,313.
Magpapatuloy ba ang tanyag na Bitcoin ($BTC) sa gayong malalaking pag-akyat ng halaga, o mas mabuting ilipat ang iyong pondo sa mga bagong proyektong crypto na inaasahan na magkaruon ng pareho, o mas matagumpay na “karera” kaysa sa Bitcoin, tulad ng Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX), Meme Kombat ($MK), o TG. Casino ($TGC), alamin dito!
Patuloy Bang Magdadala ang Bitcoin ($BTC) ng Kasiyahan at Kaligayahan sa mga Mamumuhunan?
Mula pa noong 2013, nagdala na ang Bitcoin ($BTC) ng iba’t-ibang damdamin sa mga mamumuhunan nito, mula sa takot at pagkadismaya hanggang sa labis na kaligayahan at kasiyahan. Siyempre, ang mga lubhang nasiyahan ay ang mga taong nag-invest sa cryptocurrency na ito noong una pa lang at nananatiling “tapat” dito sapagkat, tulad nga ng nabanggit natin, ang cryptocurrency na ito ay lubos na nagtaas ang halaga.
Mula sa kakaunting $204 noong Oktubre 2013 hanggang sa kasalukuyang halaga nito na $28,313, marami nang pagsubok ang pinagdaanan ng Bitcoin ($BTC). Ngayon, marami ang nagtatanong kung matalino bang magpatuloy na maging “tapat” sa Bitcoin at kung maaari bang makamit nito ang parehong malaking pag-akyat ng halaga sa mga susunod na taon.
Ayon sa mga eksperto sa crypto, ito ang kanilang mga prediksyon ukol sa Bitcoin. Pagdating sa mga darating na buwan, o kung saan mangyayari mula ngayon hanggang dulo ng 2023, may maliit na tsansa na ang pinakasikat na crypto sa mundo ay magkakaroon ng malalang pag-akyat ng halaga sapagkat lahat ay nagpapahiwatig na magtatapos ang taon ang Bitcoin sa isang maximum value na mga $27,953.50.
Kapag tinitingnan natin sa isang mas mahabang termino, mas magaan ang sitwasyon dahil ang mga prediksyon ng mga eksperto ay nagpapahiwatig na sa loob ng taong 2030, ang Bitcoin ay maaaring maabot ang halaga sa pagitan ng $433,929.31 at $509,972.34.
Ngunit tandaan na may mga panganib na kaakibat ang pagtitiwala sa mga malalayong prediksyon dahil para maganap ang ganitong senaryo, maraming kondisyon ang kinakailangan matupad.
Kung-kaya’t ang mga eksperto sa crypto ay nagpapakita na mas mabuting pumili ng isang proyektong crypto na nagpapakita ng mga pagkakataon ng tagumpay sa maikli termino. Sa mga sumusunod, magbibigay tayo ng pansin sa tatlong mga bagong proyektong crypto na iniisip ng mga mangangalakal na maaaring maging susunod na Bitcoin, na tila sa lahat ng aspeto, ay mas mahusay na pagpipilian sa pamumuhunan kaysa sa $BTC.
Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX): Isang Bago at Lubos na Maasahang Proyekto sa Crypto!
Isang bagong proyekto sa crypto, na sa puntong ito ay tila lubos na maasahan, at itinuturing na isang magandang pagpipilian para sa mataas na kita sa pamumuhunan, ay ang Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX).
Ang tagumpay ng Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX) hanggang ngayon at sa pagdami ng interes ng mga mamumuhunan dito ay dahil sa makabago at malikhaing pamamaraan nito. Ito ay isang proyekto sa crypto na pinalalakas ang proseso ng pagmimina ng Bitcoin sa pamamagitan ng cloud, at ang magandang tagumpay ng presale hanggang ngayon ay nagpapakita na ang mga gumagamit ay may kamalayan dito.
Ang Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX) ay maaaring madaling “mang-agaw” ng puwesto ng “orihinal” na Bitcoin dahil ito ay isang ligtas at maaasahang Bitcoin cloud mining platform, at ang buong proseso ng pagbili at pag-iinvest ng mga token na $BTCMTX ay lubusang simple.
Ang mga nagsisimula nang mamuhunan ay nagmamadali na kunin ang oportunidad at mag-invest sa $BTCMTX ngayon, habang ang presyo ay umaayon, na alam na ang pagmamay-ari ng Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX) ay magbibigay-daan sa kanila na manalo ng mga kahanga-hangang premyo, kasama ang maraming iba pang mga benepisyo.
Ayon sa eksperto sa analisis, may malalaking kita na naghihintay para sa $BTCMTX, kaya’t magmadali at mag-invest sa crypto na ito habang ang presyo nito ay $0.011 pa lamang.
Meme Kombat ($MK): Isa Pang Bagong Proyekto sa Crypto na Iniisip ng mga Mangangalakal na Maaaring Maging ang Susunod na Bitcoin!
Isa sa mga pinakabagong proyekto sa crypto na iniisip ng mga mangangalakal na maaaring maging Susunod na Bitcoin ay ang Meme Kombat ($MK). Kamakailan ito ay nagdulot ng malaking interes sa komunidad ng crypto. Ito rin ay maaari nating makita mula sa kahanga-hangang mga resulta ng presale at sa katunayan na higit sa $200,000 ang nakalikom sa loob lamang ng ilang araw!
Ang natatangi sa Meme Kombat ($MK) mula sa iba pang katulad na proyekto ay ang pagkakakombina nito ng teknolohiyang blockchain at artificial intelligence, ang masayang mundo ng mga memes, at ang saya na dulot ng Battle Arena, kung-kaya’t ito ay nagbibigay sa mga gumagamit ng isang natatanging karanasan sa larong may kasamang mga benepisyo.
Gayunpaman, ang dahilan ng malaking interes sa pagsali sa Meme Kombat presale ay ang potensyal nitong paglaki sa hinaharap, na kinilala na ng maraming mga eksperto at influencer sa crypto.
Ayon sa analisis ng isa sa mga pinakasikat na crypto influencers, si Jacob Crypto Bury, may mga pagkakataon ang Meme Kombat ($MK) para magdulot ng 100x na kita, kaya’t hindi nakakagulat na mas marami ang nagnanais na maging mga nagsisimula sa meme coin na ito, at bumili nito sa halagang $1,667 bawat token!
Tg. Casino ($Tgc): Crypto na Tila Isang mas Magandang Opsyon Kaysa sa Bitcoin sa Kasalukuyan!
Nagpapakita ng labis na kasiglahan ang mga gumagamit ng crypto sa pagsali sa presale ng cryptocurrency, na tila isang mas magandang opsiyon kaysa sa Bitcoin sa kasalukuyan! Ito ay ang TG. Casino ($TGC): isang crypto na nagbibigay-daan sa mga gumagamit na kumita ng mga kamangha-manghang premyo at nag-aalok ng natatanging oportunidad para sa ligtas, maaasahan, at pribadong crypto gambling!
Lalo pang naging katangi-tangi ang TG. Casino dahil konektado ito sa pinakasikat na messaging platform na Telegram, kaya’t mas pinadali nito ang buong proseso para sa mga gumagamit. Nakikita ng mga gumagamit ang token na $TGC na lubos na kaakit-akit dahil ito’y nagpapakita ng malalaking potensyal para sa pag-akyat ng halaga sa hinaharap.
Dahil ito sa kasalukuyang kahanga-hangang presyo nito at pati na rin dahil sa mga nakakabighaning premyo na maaring makuha ng mga gumagamit. Kaya’t kumuha na bago pa tumaas ang presyo nito upang makuha ang pinakamaraming benepisyo sa pamamagitan ng pagiging isa sa mga unang mamumuhunan ng $TGC!
Bitcoin ($BTC) o isang bago at baguhang crypto na makakamit ang pareho o mas magandang mga resulta nang mabilis? Walang alinlangan, at ang sagot ay malinaw. Mas matalino na mamuhunan sa Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX), Meme Kombat ($MK), at TG. Casino ($TGC), sapagkat ang tatlong itong mga bagong cryptocurrencies ay nakalinyado para sa malalaking kita nang labis na mabilis, at ang pinakamaganda sa lahat, maaari mong kunin ang mga ito sa magandang presyo ngayon!
If Cebu can hit you with its best shot, surely, it’ll hit you with sandbars.
Sandbars are long narrow areas sitting above the water, composed of sand, gravel, and fine sediments, and is built by waves offshore from a beach.

Indeed, sandbars are one of the most sought-after pieces of nature. It can’t be found everywhere. So, when Cebu is giving us its best shots of sandbars, I guess our only choice then is to get our cameras and take good shots. Nope, best shots.
One of the best things about the Queen City of the South is its proximity to many islands, beaches, hotel and resorts, diving locations and heritage sites, high domestic and foreign tourist arrivals. It fuels the city’s tourism industry. And Cebu is well-known for its exquisite white sand beaches located less than an hour away from the city.
Although it’s already popular to the locals (of course) and serves to be their “quick cure” for beach cravings, not everyone — before it trended on social media — knows this public beach that flaunts pristine white beach and crystal clear water. This is the Cordova White Sandbar in Mactan, Cebu.

The rapid transformation of the global economy into a digital landscape has truly compelled businesses to evolve and adapt. This includes their customers’ payment preferences, which now include digital wallets and credit cards. With that, it is important for business to be accommodating to different types of payment preferences in order to keep up within the competitive market. If you’re an entrepreneur or a small business owner, this is your guide to accepting credit card payments.

The Challenge for New Entrepreneurs
For emerging entrepreneurs, adapting to accommodate credit card payments from customers can be a daunting process. It requires navigating through a maze of business permits and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) requirements. Understandably, many new business owners may feel apprehensive about this undertaking.
As one of the pioneers in the fintech industry in the Philippines, Maya Business has introduced an innovative payment solution – the Maya Terminal. This compact unit serves as more than just an ordinary credit card terminal; it functions as an all-in-one digital payment and card swipe machine, accepting credit card, digital wallet, and QR payments, hence, streamlining the entire process.
The following is how you can start accepting credit card payments:
1. Explore and Select the Optimal Payment Processor

Commencing your journey to accept credit card payments necessitates a diligent evaluation of the available payment processor options within the Philippines. Conduct in-depth research to compare their attributes, transaction fees, and gauge customer feedback. Take careful note of the distinct advantages each processor can bring to your business.
2. Compile Essential Business Documentation

Once you’ve zeroed in on the right payment processor, it’s time to gather all the essential documentation required for your application including your business registration, licenses, and financial statements. The purpose of these documents is twofold: to demonstrate the legitimacy of your business and offer insights into its financial stability. By presenting a complete and well-organized set of documents, you increase the likelihood of a swift and successful application process.
3. Complete the Merchant Account Application

With your documentation in order, you’re ready to embark on the application process for a merchant account. This pivotal step involves filling out the application form provided by your chosen payment partner. In addition to the form, you’ll need to submit the requisite documentation. After this, be prepared for a review process initiated by your payments partner. This step ensures that your business aligns with their requirements and provides an added layer of security for both your enterprise and your customers.
Embracing the digital age by accepting credit card payments can significantly benefit your business. In the Philippines, where the use of credit cards is on the rise, SMEs and startups should seize the opportunity to provide customers with convenient and flexible payment options. With the support of fintech companies like Maya Business, the process can be streamlined, helping businesses thrive in the evolving digital economy. It’s time to make credit cards your ally in business growth and customer satisfaction.

Winners must write their names, place their signatures on the back of the winning ticket, and present two government-issued Ds.
