I hope it gains traction as it is also a platform for the Philippines to be known around the world. It is good that one way or another bitcoin has reaching out further into the Philippines which may help it's citizens.
March 17, 2018, 03:44:09 AM
they are picking celebrities for the coins this will affect the attention of so many investor because athletes are planning to make their own cryptocurrency coin hoping i can witness kind of project bigger people bigger audience

If this is not a scam this could be the greatest project ever! Surely celebrities will invest and the bounty will be a success.
I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.
I agree with you, and I think not just celebrities but also his fellow rich politicians like him will also invest on it, so yes the value will rise if this will happen soon. And furthermore because of him cryptocurrency will be possibly recognise more by the government of the Philippines. I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.

Until now it's just a rumors because he is a famous person and altcoin has a high trend in a recent years. But if one day he will create ico with their name, i'm not suprised.
March 16, 2018, 11:56:48 AM
I will never invest in such projects. Trying to hide behind a celebrity's name reminds me of a Scam. In the first place should be the property of the project. The main task of the thimble is to divert the attention of the victim. The names of famous people perform this task. Think about it before you decide to give your money to the scammers.
March 16, 2018, 11:45:07 AM
it does not matter that many celebrities plunge into the world of crypto, as long as they have a clear vision and mission in the token project, there will be many investors or people who want to join.
I agree with you there.Just look at Floyd Money Mayweather. He has been involved in three ICOS for alt coins that we know of and looking to get into another from what I had heard.
Many other celebrities have entered into the cryptosphere so I am not too surprised when I heard pacquiao is releasing his own coin and opening an ICO.
March 16, 2018, 11:41:46 AM
Notice me please. If there is a bounty campaign, I would be honored to be part of it.
Si Sen. Manny is my countryman and if it is not a scam it is a successful project just in case. So I look forward to this campaign and join me immediately.

We have seen celebrities endorsing crypto projects in the past. As a matter of fact, Floyd Mayweather has been involved in some ICO's too:

Looks like didn't go too well.
We have seen Mike Tyson being the public image for a Bitcoin ATM...
Honestly it doesn't really do much other than temporal pumps (and dumps).
March 16, 2018, 11:20:40 AM
I sincerely look at this whole issue and laugh hard. What's the use of having a personal coin? What advantage will it offer the people and society? Why doing something when its clear that it can't stand the test of time.
My opinion anyway

I haven't read much about this so called "PAC" coin that Manny is trying to push but the main problem right now is if it will be used on any platform or just riding on his popularity. What we need right now are innovations and not a popularity contest.

Senator Manny Pacquiao is venturing into cryptocurrency as an investor in blockchain firm Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX).
GCOX, a Singapore start-up, claims it is the first cryptocurrency exchange of its kind as it enables celebrities to create their own cryptocurrencies, which they’ve dubbed Celebrity Tokens.

No thanks with the whole concept of 'celebrity tokens'. There are already enough shitcoins plaguing the crypto market and we don't need any more of them. The world needs projects with an vision to make something happen and we all know these so called celebrities are just trying to get into the act by trying to play the deception card which is never going to work.

Ive heard that news too that manny "pacman" Pacquiao will invest in cryptocurrencies. And will call his coin PAC coins. This a good news and maybe this will be the beginning that Philippines will adopt cryptocurrencies and will be legal.
March 16, 2018, 06:04:44 AM
Wow that is great news, first Filipino who have created his own Cryptocurrency and first political people who seen how digital world currency is getting in the economy. Thanks in advance for anti corrupt project. Since Manny Pacquiao is a Senator I think he would not get any problem in implementing this project. Not only that he got a lot of supporters and influences I think their would be no problem.
March 16, 2018, 05:27:57 AM
senator manny pacquiao is a filipino renowned as the ultimate filipino fighter in the field of boxing. so, my only opinion in this is that it is good that he invested. maybe it can create good opportunities in the world for all the people.
and he has a lot of influence to promote it maybe manny pacquiao will success this project if its true and he will become whale. March 16, 2018, 05:19:59 AM

If this is so, then it is a god news then. Wow! Cheers Pacquiao, he is that really rich huh. I hope not only celebrities will benefit from this. If ever, this'll be the first in the Philippines. Good luck then!

No, he is not the first and probably won't be the best one.
I just hope that Pacquiao really has an idea what he is going to enter this time. If this is just another whisper from one of his colleagues or one of his friends then I don't think that he will succeed in this. It is also possible that it is only his name and probably money that is involved here, and the rest is from the people who proposed this to him.
March 16, 2018, 05:09:23 AM
It is good for cryptocurrency to be of high price then since Manny Pacquiao is well-known celebrity, many will be interested in this.
he was not only a celebrity he is also a politician. meanwhile he was good senator and keep on helping poor people.

We expecting too much. This is not how we should invest in one coin, but to be excited on what Sen. Manny Pacquiao bring in cryptocurrency with this endorsement is priceless. Remember just one thing, a man like manny with good heart been used by Arum for its gain. The news is positive, but i won’t step to much because of emotions and just research more about the coin. Smart investing.
March 16, 2018, 12:01:04 AM
I can't stop thinking though what will happen to the cryptocurrency in the Philippines if someone like PACMAN would introduce his own coin. This could be a good start of the people living in the Philippines influence by PACMAN to join cryptocurrency. So I guess this would be a revolutionary turn of event in the whole country the Philippines. As we all know that PACMAN is an 8th division world champion and a hall of fame in the world of boxing. So many people are following him even his social media like facebook and twitter. So it would be a great fortune to all the filipino who will come and follow PACMAN on the cryptocurrency.

In my view, this is not a scam. This is actually tokenization of many celebrities taking advantage of their names and popularity and the best way for fans to interact with their idolized stars. I am sure there will be more celebrities who will join this bandwagon as this is another way they can monetize themselves. This must be the modern way where fans can support their favorite artists the cryptocurrency way.

Will if this is not a fake one.. Then this is a good news and help the cryptocurrency to be known... Being a filipino i am proud ang support this👍🏻

This is good news indeed and may attract more celebrities to invest in digital currencies the hype could pump the whole market and this helps the crypto currencies to be better known. But the problem is what features does this coin have is it backed up by good technology ? cause a celebrity alone isnt enough to attract investors.
March 15, 2018, 10:00:45 PM
If The Pac Coin is created i hope that it will be helpful to the people of philippines, i hope it is created to get rid the problems in the philippines not just to make more money from it, although if manny creates and advertise crypto it will really have a good affect in cryptocurrency since manny is known all over the world.

Creating a token by celebrity cant be say that it will going to success but as a filipino not all the filipino can create a token which is good for Philippine community. But us far as im concerned the investor must see what the pac token can do for our everyday life what our the benefits of it

I am a Filipino and this kind of news (assuming not a fake one) makes me proud. It inspires me a lot bacause even a sport/showbiz/political icon can also be engaged in crypto, this only proves that crypto is for eveveryone ~ can be access despite of your race, gender and age as long as you are willing to do so.
If this is really true then PAC coin will be a legit alt and will never be a scam, I'm pretty sure of that because it sticks to Pacquiao's name which means that his reputation will be affected if he did something inappropriate.

Agree, pround filipino here as well once this coin will really hit the market and served it purpose. I do believe in Manny, he did all what to be done it order for him to in his current state and by the grace of God. Let's all support this if verified true and legit.

Of course it wouldn't be a scam if most renowned celebrities and athletes would take part to it not to mention world renowned boxer manny pacquiao is involved and we all know that he has accumulated a vast amount of wealth throughout his entire career and I must say I wouldn't be surprised to see him participate in cryptocurrencies with all the money he has.

Senator Manny Pacquiao is venturing into cryptocurrency as an investor in blockchain firm Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX).
GCOX, a Singapore start-up, claims it is the first cryptocurrency exchange of its kind as it enables celebrities to create their own cryptocurrencies, which they’ve dubbed Celebrity Tokens.
The Celebrity Tokens can be used to buy exclusive goods and services in relation to the celebrity on GCOX’s platform. It also provides fans access to their favorite stars through interactions such as meet and greets and live streaming via a service called Celeb-Connect.
Another service, Celeb-Charity, allows fans to donate to celebrities’ causes using the digital coin.
The cryptocurrency value is determined through “open market forces” and is supposed to be indicative of the star’s popularity.
Aside from investing in the start-up, Pacquiao will launch the PAC Coin as the first celebrity to create a token on the platform, reports Finance Magnates.
Per his 2016 statements of assets, liabilities and networth (SALN), the boxing champion has a net worth of over P3 billion. He owns over 100 real properties and has P250 million worth of investments.
American boxer Floyd Mayweather, who infamously defeated Pacquiao in 2015, has also thrown his support for cryptocurrencies by promoting blockchain firm Stox before its initial coin offering (ICO).
His Instagram post featured him with stacks of $100 bills and the caption, “I’m gonna make a $hit t$n of money on August 2nd on the Stox.com ICO.” This is despite the Stox Token sale being unavailable for him as it wasn’t intended for American citizens.
The company raised $33 million in 34 hours, reports Finance Magnates.

I laughed a bit when I read the article. So they used blockchain for... selling merch.
I'm Filipino so I'm sure some people here might get enticed by the local celeb though I'm dubious about the use of these tokens. From what I understood each celeb gets to have their own token. But then again, I also don't want to underestimate fanatics, especially fan girls.
That platform would need more than Pac to get off the ground though. Maybe they can get Jolie in it? After all it already have a charity function.

I doubt and hopefully this doubt is wrong because I do really like the idea if it is really his project. By using his influence and the support of many people globally there is no doubt that it will go to the moon. But the fact is there is no news about it in any TV news channels in the Philippines the very reason why i doubt. GCOX, a Singapore start-up, claims it is the first cryptocurrency exchange of its kind as it enables celebrities to create their own cryptocurrencies, which they’ve dubbed Celebrity Tokens.

If this is not a scam this could be the greatest project ever! Surely celebrities will invest and the bounty will be a success.
I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.
Nah! I don't think so. It can cause a moment of spike because of the name associated with it but it may not be sustained over a period of time. What happened with Centra (a coin backed by Flowd Maywheather, the money man himself)? I saw the hype about it and bought in. But it hasn't really done much in terms of profit. In fact, it's constantly in the red.I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was just being chosen as a main promotor unlike for the plan of Manny Pacquiao that he will be the one that will launched his own coin so maybe it will have a different output compare to Centra as Pacquiao's personality is to not let his (future) investors turned down. As much as possible, even he gambled all his money, he is not the type of person that will dissapoint anyone who will involved in his future cryptocoin. Well that is based on my own view since we follow this man since the start of his career.
Anyway this is just a "plan" and I think Pacquiao will not be 100% hands on to this for now as he was busy on Senate and currently doing a soft training for his upcoming fight. There are lots of considerations before launching a coin so I think that is not his priority now considering his current activities.

Well that would be a great start because by investing into crypto currency by a government official like Sen. Pacquiao has a big impact in the community because it is a sign that he supporting this new kind of technology I hope this news is legit.

Celebrity support for most people's calculations, celebrity popularity articles can boost the popularity of crypto so there's positive news for crypto fans, Throughout this year if there's a selection of the most popular and most talked about topics, cryptocurrency is definitely a nomination.
March 14, 2018, 10:07:25 AM
Well not a surprise, now most celebrities has their own cryptocurrency being supported. From Pot Coin of Rodman? to Steven Seagull I think. With their popularity they can gather supporters with coins and can build a community with it. But, I hope they may have a tangible project behind so that this is not another case of pump and dump.
celebrity has a big influence to promote cryptocurrencies so it would be great and will be better to have a big influence in the crypto world March 14, 2018, 09:52:01 AM
This is good news for us. It means that the cryptocurrency is real and even a celebrities wants to invest. Mr. Pacquiao very smart person, he want to be the first celebrities who own its cryptocurrency and wants and encourage his co-artist to invest to it.

Wow! I couldn't expect Pacman Pacquaio will be interested too in the cryptoworld. Knowing that he is not just a well known boxer but a big influencer in politics, entertainment and society. Hoping it to be real as it might get big, i see a big potential if PAC coin is true.
March 14, 2018, 03:28:46 AM
I am a Filipino and this kind of news (assuming not a fake one) makes me proud. It inspires me a lot bacause even a sport/showbiz/political icon can also be engaged in crypto, this only proves that crypto is for eveveryone ~ can be access despite of your race, gender and age as long as you are willing to do so.
If this is really true then PAC coin will be a legit alt and will never be a scam, I'm pretty sure of that because it sticks to Pacquiao's name which means that his reputation will be affected if he did something inappropriate.

It looks pretty legit knowing that the Inquirer published it. Despite having different political and religious views with the Senator, I actually admire this venture of his. As someone who is very influential, this would actually raise the awareness towards cryptocurrency in the Philippines. Hopefully, not any type of corruption would be involved in this project of his so that the image of cryptocurrency would be preserved accordingly as this venture really seems to be promising. May this be the start of of something great for the whole country.
I also think this should be placed in the Press section as this is remarkable if proven true!
March 14, 2018, 02:53:22 AM
It is good for cryptocurrency to be of high price then since Manny Pacquiao is well-known celebrity, many will be interested in this.

I wonder why Mayweather doesn't deal with cryptocurrency. After all, this man has a nose for profitable business. Though he may not advertise much...
But he did support and advertise cryptos like centra but it seems this project isn't active anymore.
If Pacquiao will launch its own coin it will be a a big milestone for embracing the cryptos by Filipino and can be a big help for enhancing the image of cryptos especially bitcoin in the Philippines. But I guess if they'll launch the ICO there's no need to have bounty campaign here as it will surely be a sold out.
March 14, 2018, 12:20:11 AM
If this will gonna happen I think her project will boom to the moon because manny pacquiao is more popular than btc most of all people forecast for money for his boxing so definitely her project will be success and get more investor even those not fan in cryptocurrencies.
March 14, 2018, 12:08:07 AM
Senator Manny Pacquiao want to involve in cryptocurrency because he wanted to to pay for things like entrepreneurship ventures, charity events and connecting with fans. I think after that many celebrities will work out too.
March 13, 2018, 11:58:21 PM
Wow, this is true? I can't expect that Manny Pacquiao know something about cryptocurrency. If this true, I support it and help their project. Congrats and good job senator Manny Pacquiao.
March 13, 2018, 09:43:37 PM
And what kind of utility is this coin going to have?
Well it says that you can buy exclusive goods and services that's related to GCOX's platform.The point of what I want to say is that celebrities don't need GCOX to create their own cryptocurrencies. The only need smart manager and project developer and a financial asset that they surely have. There were already many similar projects like this mentioned in the thread but I don't see that they were successful.
But Manny isn't knowledgeable in crypto's so if this is real, he's a man that has a lot of things to do and he can't focus with it alone. What's on my mind is he will just put money on it and let GCOX work on it. March 13, 2018, 09:34:49 PM
wow a very good start for all the Filipino who trust crypto and Sen Manny would be the first to tell to all Filipino that Crypto specially BTC is not a scam.. good job Sir Manny Pacman..

I am not so familiar with the mentioned senator but the project he is investing in won't withstand long. Maybe I am wrong and maybe the project will indeed be successful but I have my theories about the fall in the end. Comparisons because of which I am certain that the project is destined for the demise is that in my country celebrities are already creating their own coins that will operate through the likes and shares on the social sites.

We know how Manny Pacquiao's charisma. You wouldn't imagine him winning and getting a Senate seat in the Philippines. And him venturing in crypto will be a positive news not only for Fliipinos, but the whole cryptosphere. Currently, we have seen a lot of sports personalities including his rival Floyd getting into crypto as well.
But the way I understand it, he is venturing or just a investor and not launching his own PacCoin. Anyways, lets see how it goes to the fighting pride of the Philippines and this is really a welcoming news.

In before Justin Bieber makes Canada weep and makes his own coin. Could also see 50 cent, Katy Perry, and Money Mayweather getting involved in this celebrity business, only question is which celeb coin will be #1. My money is on Kim Kardashian, she got legs for days.
March 13, 2018, 04:49:24 PM
Manny pacquiao can definitely provide a lot of money to support the development of this token
if this news is legit but aside from Manny whos next I think no celebrity have guts to take a risk just like Manny have
cause manny is a sports man and a gambler

If this is not a scam this could be the greatest project ever! Surely celebrities will invest and the bounty will be a success.
I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.
And what kind of utility is this coin going to have? Because it is not enough to release a coin with a celebrity backing it to make it a success, hype alone could help the coin and maybe it will gain some value but in the long term that is not enough it needs to solve some kind of problem if it doesn't then this is probably going to be a coin that will last a few months and that will crash to zero, lots of people will lose money and the company creating those coins and those that back the coin will obtain great profits to me it looks like a potential scam or something too close to it. I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.
