One of the major problems I had since I started to earn money is having a valid ID. I began to make my own money when I was sixteen years old, and verifying my accounts was one of my biggest headaches. Well, it was mentioned most of the time in my Read account. Although let's say that I already saved a lot of money from my blogs, I assume that I can't withdraw my money on my own. All my transactions are restricted only because I don't have an ID.
Therefore, I can't pull what I accumulated on my own if I want to withdraw money from my different wallets that require KYC. I still need to invest trust in my virtual friends to convert my earnings into cash. Fortunately, I'm grateful to have trusted them since I haven't experienced being scammed yet. Their rules and regulation make sense since it is only made to make everything the security and safety of the consumers.
But here's some good news! I recently got my ePhilID or PhilSys ID, which the PSA sent me, and I can't help jumping in excitement. Who wouldn't be? After receiving that message, I immediately thought I could finally utilize it to verify my different wallets. But the sad news is that having only that ID is not enough since it looks like a low-class copy of a National ID.
Back to the title, what opportunities could I get if I already have a government-issued ID?
PayPal account
I have a PayPal account, but the problem is that I don't have an ID to verify my identity. When I first created my account, I used my dad's ID, but the system associated the account with his name instead of mine. Now, I cannot change the name on PayPal without providing another form of ID. I want to link it to my GCash account. However, I can't link it since we have different names. In short, I can't connect my PayPal to GCash unless I ask my virtual friend to do her thing. I only had PayPal transactions when I started to earn money from selling my university notes. It looks like I drew about more than $200. Not bad, right?
Binance account
I have an account in Binance, which I used mainly in converting my HIVE to fiat. It is like my e-wallet whenever I want to withdraw my accumulated HIVE. Anyway, that's the result of powering down my HP and converting HBD from those authors who curated my content. However, as I said, I can't have Binance as my own because I don't have an ID. That's why I used my dad's identity to verify my Binance account. Although I am verified, I struggle to get my money since the GCash account, and the name I used in Binance must be matched. I don't want to disrupt my father, so I withdraw my USDT to BCH. After that, I will ask my virtual friend who's available to convert it using coins.ph and send it to my GCash account.
Edit: Finally, I'm now qualified.
GCash Crypto
Recently, GCash opened the GCash Crypto feature to the public. It is a feature where I can turn my BCH or other available cryptos into PHP without further process. I was excited after I found out, but the problem is that it still needs additional verification. I can finally use this feature in my crypto transactions if I have already printed and laminated the alternative version of my National ID. That's a relief for my trusted virtual friends, who won't get bothered anymore.
Online Jobs
I already have an account on Upwork, but I can't get a chance to do the interview. All it was because of that motherfucking ID. That's why my only choice for today is to upskill and learn more. I can't even get a chance to be interviewed because I don't have it. Therefore, while waiting for my government-issued ID, I decided to learn and enhance my skills. What's the sense of spending if I know I won't get a job in the first place? It seems like diving into that opportunity is not yet the right time, so I decided to take a break.
Well, I'm sure there are still many opportunities. I don't know yet if I already have a physical copy of a valid government ID. Although it's a struggle, good thing I knew how to bypass those situations by using my brain. I remember that it's been over a year since I registered to get my National ID and only received its digital version. Better than nothing, although sad to say that I only settled for less.
