Complete Guide to Universal 10,000 TWD Registration Starting 11/5

The universal cash distribution of 10,000 TWD is finally opening for registration! The Ministry of Digital Affairs has released the details, and the most convenient “online registration and direct deposit” method will be available starting November 5. No need to leave home or wait in line—registration is easy. Note that from November 5 to November 9, registration will be staggered based on the last digit of your ID or residence permit. Starting November 10, registration is open to all at any time. The “universal 10,000 TWD cash” registration will remain open until April 30 next year, nearly six months.

Taiwan has prepared five ways for everyone to claim this 10,000 TWD “red envelope.” The first is online registration and direct deposit: during the designated period, log in via mobile, tablet, or computer, enter your basic info and account details, and once the system verifies, the money is automatically deposited. The second is ATM withdrawal: bring your health insurance card or bank card to an ATM marked with the “universal subsidy” logo to withdraw cash.

The fourth is direct deposit without registration, for specific groups (those receiving labor insurance pensions, national pensions, old farmer subsidies, labor retirement, disability subsidies, low-income senior subsidies, etc.)—no registration needed, the money is directly transferred to your usual account. The fifth is roster-based distribution in remote areas where banks are hard to reach (such as Shizi Township in Pingtung County, Wanrong Township in Hualien County, and Jinfeng Township in Taitung County), with local police stations or agencies helping to distribute, ensuring fairness for all.

Dcard Poll: 40% Support for Buying Bitcoin Sparks Debate

(Source: Dcard)

On November 4, a Dcard Group discussion titled “On 11/12, what crypto will you buy with the universal 10,000 TWD cash?” saw Bitcoin support exceed 40%, with voting still ongoing. This poll reflects the strong interest in encryption investment among young people. As Taiwan’s largest youth Group platform, Dcard’s users are mainly students and office workers aged 18-35, a demographic highly receptive to new technology and investment tools.

A 40% Bitcoin support rate means that, if the poll sample is representative, millions of young Taiwanese may consider investing their universal 10,000 TWD in encryption. Assuming 10 million people receive the universal cash, with 20% being young people (2 million), and 40% of them investing 10,000 TWD in Bitcoin, that’s 8 billion TWD (about $250 million USD) in new demand for Bitcoin. Such retail buying could significantly impact local encryption exchanges in Taiwan.

However, there’s a gap between poll support and actual action. Many may vote for Bitcoin but end up using the money for daily expenses, savings, or other purposes. Also, Dcard poll participants are already interested in encryption, so the sample may be biased. The real Bitcoin purchase rate may be much lower than 40%, but even 10-20% would be a substantial influx of new demand.

This “universal cash for Bitcoin” phenomenon isn’t unique to Taiwan. In 2021, when the US issued pandemic stimulus checks, new user registrations and trading volume on Coinbase and other platforms surged, with many Americans putting their stimulus money into the encryption market. This cycle of cash handouts and public crypto buying partly validates the logic that “quantitative easing boosts risk assets.”

Feasibility Analysis: Investing 10,000 TWD in Bitcoin

From an investment perspective, is 10,000 TWD (about $310 USD) suitable for buying Bitcoin? At the current Bitcoin price of around $100,000 USD, 10,000 TWD buys about 0.0031 BTC. While this is a small amount, it’s a reasonable entry point for encryption investment. Bitcoin supports trades up to eight decimal places, so any amount can be purchased.

Investing 10,000 TWD has several features. First, the amount is relatively small, so even a total loss won’t have a major impact on your life. This aligns with the risk management principle: “Only invest what you can afford to lose.” Second, it’s a reasonable cost for learning and experiencing encryption investment. Many are curious about encryption but hesitant to invest; 10,000 TWD offers a low-cost trial. Third, if Bitcoin rises to $150,000-$200,000 USD as optimists predict, that 10,000 TWD could grow to 15,000-20,000 TWD—a nice return, even if the absolute amount isn’t huge.

However, risks shouldn’t be ignored. Bitcoin’s price could fall 30-50%, shrinking 10,000 TWD to 5,000-7,000 TWD. Encryption exchanges could collapse or be hacked, causing asset loss (as with the 2022 FTX collapse). Regulatory policies could suddenly tighten, affecting trading and withdrawals. Bitcoin’s high volatility can cause emotional stress, especially for Newbies.

Experts advise that if you decide to invest your universal 10,000 TWD in Bitcoin, pay attention to these points: choose reputable local or major international exchanges, avoid small or unknown platforms. Do not Use leverage—buy spot only. The case of “Maji Big Brother” is a cautionary tale: with 25x leverage, a 4% price swing wipes out your entire 10,000 TWD principal.

Diversify your investments instead of going All-in on a single asset. If you’re interested in encryption, consider 50% Bitcoin + 30% Ether + 20% other (or keep some cash)—this balances risk and opportunity. Be prepared for long-term holding. Bitcoin’s short-term volatility is intense; if you only hold for weeks or months, you’re likely to lose in the swings. True Bitcoin investors usually hold for years, riding out full bull and bear cycles.

Keep learning about encryption: understand wallets, private keys, exchange risks, and other basics. Blind investing is the easiest way to get “harvested.” Check your investment status regularly, but not too often (like multiple times a day), as this increases emotional stress and impulsive trading.

Policy Background and Economic Significance of Universal 10,000 TWD

Is the global trade “weather forecast” flashing red? US President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on multiple countries starting August 1, and Taiwan naturally can’t ignore the impact. Facing potential economic aftershocks, the Executive Yuan launched the universal 10,000 TWD policy, using a one-time special budget to shield Taiwan’s industries and help businesses navigate the global trade fog, while also easing the financial burden on citizens.

From an economic perspective, universal cash distribution is a classic fiscal stimulus policy. Taiwan is directly increasing disposable income, hoping people will spend it to boost domestic demand and drive economic growth. However, the policy’s effectiveness depends on how people Use the money. If most spend it on daily needs (food, clothing, entertainment), it directly stimulates retail and services. If saved, the short-term stimulus is limited but household finances improve. If invested (stocks, funds, encryption), asset prices rise.

Eligibility for the universal 10,000 TWD is broad: all Taiwanese citizens, spouses and foreigners with residence permits, even newborns can claim. This inclusive policy ensures fairness but means huge fiscal spending. With Taiwan’s population at 23.5 million, if everyone claims, total spending is about 235 billion TWD. This comes from a special budget, ultimately shared by All through taxes—a fiscal operation of “giving with one hand, collecting with the other.”

Youth Encryption Investment Craze and Risk Warning

The Dcard poll shows young people’s enthusiasm for encryption investment, but this passion needs rational guidance. The 40% Bitcoin support rate reflects both a distrust of traditional finance and openness to new assets, as well as a desire for quick wealth and possible underestimation of risk.

Encryption has created many wealth legends, but destroyed even more fortunes. Even whales like “Maji Big Brother,” with years of experience and huge capital, can be liquidated repeatedly—let alone young people with limited funds and experience. For most, the universal 10,000 TWD is a windfall; using it to try investing is fine, but don’t expect unrealistic riches.

The right mindset: treat the 10,000 TWD as tuition, learning encryption investment skills through hands-on experience. If you lose, consider it a paid lesson. If you profit, it’s a lucky bonus. Don’t increase your investment just because you win early—many lose big after ramping up following small wins, only to be caught in market reversals.

Socially, the universal 10,000 TWD’s encryption investment debate reflects young Taiwanese’s financial anxiety. With soaring housing prices, stagnant wages, and rising costs, traditional saving and conservative investing struggle to grow wealth. Encryption is seen as a chance to “turn things around,” but this mindset often leads to excessive risk-taking. As Taiwan distributes cash, it should also strengthen financial education to help people understand investment risks and build sound financial habits.

The universal 10,000 TWD for Bitcoin debate, regardless of actual uptake, marks the mainstreaming of encryption in Taiwan. When Bitcoin is among the first options people consider after a cash handout, this asset class has moved from the fringe to the center. This is a positive sign for Taiwan’s encryption industry, but also a reminder for regulators to enhance investor protection and prevent the universal cash policy from becoming a hotbed for scams and bad projects targeting retail investors.
