Protect Yourself and Your Device The information superhighway has been used to describe the internet. But it’s a good idea to be aware of how to secure your devices, network, and data given the number of scammers, hackers, and other bad actors attempting to steal your personal information online. In this method, the scammers won’t be able to quickly access your passwords, Social Security number, or account information. Update your operating system, internet browser, and security software. Before software vendors can fix them, criminals search for vulnerabilities to exploit. However, it is important to update your software frequently and as soon as a newer version is released in order to take advantage of vital security patches. Visit the developer’s website on your device, which is always recorded someplace on your device, for instructions on how to upgrade your operating system, internet browsers, and applications, as well as your security software. Usually, you can subscribe to email updates or have them update automatically. Don’t disregard requests for updates. You don’t want to leave a door unlocked that could allow hackers to access your data. Make sure to update your operating system, security software, and internet browsers and apps. Pick security questions that only you know the answers to. The answers to many security questions can be found in public sources or online. Avoid answering questions about your zip code, mother’s maiden name, and place of birth whenever you can. Also, stay away from asking questions such, “What color was your first car?” that have a finite amount of answers and are thus easy for attackers to predict. You can even enter random answers to make it harder for people to predict. But if you do that, you’ll have to keep track of the solutions you utilize. To safeguard your data, make a backup. Making a second copy of each file is what is meant by “backing up” your data. In this way, your files are still available to you in the event of an incident, such as a virus, device failure, or hacking. You should do it once a week to avoid losing crucial information such as your images, documents, and files. Only the most recent backup will be available if you ever need to restore one. **When choosing how to back up your files, take into account the following two possibilities and certain factors.** Conserve your files online. Online file and data storage is made possible by a variety of cloud storage providers. There are numerous options available; some, like Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox, OneDrive, or iCloud, you may already be familiar with. You can pay extra for greater storage with several of these services, which offer some free space. When you store your data on the cloud, you are putting your trust in someone else to protect it. If you’re considering using cloud storage, research the level of security or privacy that each provider offers. File-saving to an external storage device is a good idea. A moderately priced solution with some storage space is a USB flash drive. An external hard drive is an additional choice. Although it could be slightly more expensive than a USB drive, it can provide you with more storage capacity, transport data more quickly, and be more dependable. You may be able to schedule automatic backups and choose which files or folders to backup. **Keep Yourself Safe While Using Wi-Fi** You have some control over your home network’s security, but not over free public Wi-Fi. Always presume that something is insecure. Saving your online banking, shopping, and other personal transactions until when you’re on your home network is the simplest approach. Alternately, you might use the encrypted data on your mobile device. If you do use public Wi-Fi, learn more about how to keep your personal information secure when using a public computer or network. Thank you for being with me once again. **@Celynjasmine** **Lead image** was taken from **pixabay**

Man and Laziness A person with laziness is said to be incapable of doing anything. He is unwilling or unprepared psychologically to perform any work. This period of life is one that many people go through at some point. We can say that people’s use of technology encourages laziness to some level. People feel lazy performing basic computations on their own now that calculators are available. People are reluctant to take the time to go to a restaurant, grocery store, or other locations because they are lazy. They prefer to place their orders online while at home. Additionally, it has been observed that people no longer desire to walk a short distance since they have grown so lazy and reliant on their cars. They like to use their car to get everywhere, whether they are going to the gym or any local store. They are too lazy to stroll for a little while. More and more people are getting obese as a result of laziness. They are now more vulnerable to long-term health problems like diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and other conditions as a result. According to statistics, as the number of fat people rises, so do the number of deaths that are directly related to obesity. One of the most frequent reasons people fail in life is laziness. They lack the motivation from within to consistently work toward aggressively pursuing their life goals. They fall behind others as a result in both their personal and professional lives. In this way, being lazy can have negative effects on a person’s life that range from minor to grave. Humans are now prone to becoming lazy. It hinders people from performing certain tasks, working, or moving at the appropriate time. As a result, they do not receive the recognition they deserve in life. A poor mental state may result from this conduct. Lazy people often have all kinds of evil and destructive thoughts running through their heads. He has no desire to engage in any activity. His idle mind serves as the nursery for all harmful thoughts that not only hurt him but also people around him. Evil deeds result from evil thinking.

They offer justifications for why they can’t succeed in life. People become liars because of their pretextual lies. People do not want to spend time with this kind of individual. Additionally, many attempt to put off easy to critical activities in life owing to a sluggish mindset. Opportunities that knock on one’s door are lost as a result of procrastination. They are unable to profit from them. They are thus failures in life. When there is nothing they can do about the loss, they only afterwards come to terms with it. Someone who is lazy will dig a hole for themselves. He brings about his own demise. Children can also exhibit laziness, not only adults. A lot of them are unwilling to study. They prefer to put off studying for the exam instead of starting early. They cannot perform well on tests because of this mentality. It is not helpful in any area of life, not only in studying. This demonstrates how laziness is a person’s number one adversary. In no culture is this mentality valued. Do we want to be someone who fails or someone who succeeds? We should be productive like bees and birds if we want to fall into the latter category. **Conclusion** Even if you are gifted, educated, and skilled, it won’t help you or anyone else if you are lazy. You might not experience the success in life that you deserve if you adopt this attitude. You must take proactive steps to achieve your life’s objectives if you want to succeed. Only when you fully commit to a task and make a sustained effort to complete it will this be possible. The prudent Individual avoids wasting time. They are aware of the importance of time.

Public Wi-Fi aren't Secured Wireless Fidelity hotspots are everywhere. Thanks to technology for bringing us so close to internet communication. In coffee shops, libraries, airports, hotels, universities, and other convenient public places, they are everywhere but often not secure. I guess because they are free and can be a medium for the servers to get information from users. If you connect to a friend’s Wi-fi network, you can possibly share files together or one of the admin, the same thing could happen when connected to public Wi-fi. Through websites or mobile apps, you can communicate information that may be seen by others. Users commit a typical error when utilizing these free internet services. Here are some guidelines for using free Wi-Fi safely when you’re out and about. **Wi-Fi in Public Is Not Secure** When you’re at home, you can take precautions to keep your wireless network safe. These include using a strong router password, restricting the devices that can connect to your network, and turning on encryption, which encrypts the data you send over the internet into a code that nobody else can decipher. But there isn’t much you can do to manage the network security when utilizing the Wi-Fi at your local coffee shop. Why is it important? Other users on the network can see what you see and send if the network is insecure and you log into an unencrypted site or a site that only utilizes encryption on the sign-in page. They might use your session as a ruse to log in. It might be so easy because new hacking tools are readily available online for free, which makes it straightforward even for those with little technological expertise. Your login credentials, contact information, family photos, sensitive documents, and personal information may all be at risk. Additionally, a con artist could use your account to test your usernames and passwords on other websites, including those that save your financial information, or to impersonate you and con individuals on your contact lists. Your identity could be stolen if a scammer obtains your personal or financial information. You can also be sharing your data with the organizations offering the public Wi-Fi when you log on. Many public Wi-Fi hotspots, like those in hotels and airports, may also ask you to install a “digital certificate” before you can access their internet. They might do this to check for viruses, but it also gives them access to view your traffic, even if it is going to a site that uses https (which encrypts information). But even in public, there are precautions you can do to safeguard your information. You can take certain steps to keep your data secure when using public Wi-Fi, even if there isn’t much you can do to make a public Wi-Fi network more secure: **Securely connect to websites.** You have a secure connection to the website if the web address contains the letters https. But utilizing https does not imply that a website is trustworthy. Site encryption is a skill that scammers possess. They’ve started including https on their websites because they are aware that users automatically assume a website’s security. Your information is therefore encrypted as it travels to the website, but it won’t be secure against criminals running that website. **Think about utilizing a VPN app.** Encryption is a feature that certain virtual private networks, or VPNs, offer. Before downloading a VPN program, find out more about them and what to know. **Making use of your mobile data.** Typically, your mobile data is secured. Use your mobile data instead of Wi-Fi if you’re on the go, can’t access a secure website, and don’t have VPN encryption. Since it can be difficult to determine whether an app is encrypted, this is a useful alternative when entering personal information into it. **Observe the cautions.** Before you visit a phishing website or download harmful software, many web browsers warn you. Don’t disregard such cautions. Additionally, keep your security software and browser up to date. **Thank you** for your time once again. **@Celynjasmine** **Lead image** taken from **pixabay**

Gift Card Scams Gifting is a perfect way to show love to self and someone else, maybe friends or relatives. I believe that so many of us have sent and received gifts from someone especially loved ones. If you haven’t given up you probably must have received it. It feels good to receive that special surprise especially when it is your dream gift. These days, it is very easy to send gift cards across the world but one thing we should be mindful about is sending them to scammers. Early this year before I joined this platform, I got a friend request from a lady who became a very good friend of mine. She would send me texts every morning and thus, we built a friendship and got so close (virtually). One day she requested a gift card as her forthcoming birthday gift. I never intended to send her gift cards but rather sponsor it for her. Long story short, she wasn’t real and it took me a longer time to find out. She blocked me when that happened. You might be asked to pay for anything by loading funds onto a gift card, such as an iTunes or Google Play card, then providing the recipient the numbers on the back of the card. They are attempting to con you if they ask you to do this. No legitimate company or authority will ever demand that you pay with a gift card. Scammers are anyone who requests payment in the form of a gift card. Gift cards should not be used to make purchases. It’s a scam as soon as someone demands payment using a gift card. Gift cards are popular among con artists because they are simple to locate and purchase. In comparison to certain other payment methods, they also offer fewer buyer safeguards. They function more like currency since once you use a gift card, the value is forfeit. A scammer is phoning if they demand that you pay them with gift cards. Once fraudsters have your money and the gift card information and PIN, they are in control. On a dating service, you meet someone amazing who later asks for your assistance because they need money. This romance con artist invents any tale to get you to send them gift cards. Stop. Even if they send you money beforehand, you should never send cash or presents to anyone you haven’t met in person. The con artist poses as a friend or family member in need and requests money immediately while asking you to keep it a secret from everyone else. This is a fraud. If you’re concerned, end the call and give the friend or relative a call to make sure everything is okay. Usually, the caller will advise you which gift card to purchase. They might advise loading funds onto gift cards like iTunes, Google Play, Target, or eBay. They may direct you to a certain retailer, frequently Walmart, Target, CVS, or Walgreens. They may advise you to purchase cards from different merchants so that cashiers won’t become suspicious. Additionally, the caller might continue to speak with you on the phone as you load money onto the card at the store. Stop if this occurs to you. It is a scammer. They are all fake and request a particular card to send. If I was to give you, it would be a surprise, not a particular expectation. **If you already sent the card..** Keep the Steam card itself and your receipt for the Steam card, and check the card for the business’s contact details, or conduct some web research to learn how to get in touch with the card issuer. If you can’t locate the phone number on the card, do well to check google and you’ll see more. We should be watchful on who we send gifts to. **Thank you** for your time as you **subscribe** and **upvote.** **@Celynjasmine** Lead image taken from **pixabay**

Inflation: An Opportunity For Scammers You may be looking for ways to reduce expenses and raise money to help with living costs because the price of petrol, food, housing, and many other things is rising. You are not alone, and it is all around you. People are concerned about the effects of high costs all around the country and most of the world. Scammers would use the new, high cost of living as a chance to prey on unsuspecting victims. Everyone is anxious, hoping that things will return to normal, and searching for a simple way to live. Scammers could take advantage of the chance to give their victims phony prospects and offers in order to deprive them of their possessions. In order to deceive you into submitting them personal information or money beforehand to get the job, scammers publish job vacancies that don’t exist under the names of reputable organizations. Working from home is rather typical these days. It benefits those who want to avoid commuting as well as businesses looking for global talent. Even a phone or text message is possible. Even when they are exposed, many con artists continue to promote jobs and business possibilities, as we all know. Sadly, they persist in posting online job ads and adverts in general. Companies that advertise jobs, business opportunities, investments, or other ways to gain money frequently mention the potential earnings. However, a lot of people have lost money and time to businesses. People, especially now, need money to survive, so having something to do to make money is a solution. Scammers use this same logic. This time around, keeping your computer safe and being careful with it is of high advantage because there are lots of tech scammers and their target is you through your computers. They are tech support scammers Scammers posing as tech assistants want you to think your machine is infected with a virus or has some other significant issue. They want you to pay for tech support services you don’t require in order to solve an imaginary problem. Due to the difficulty of reversing these types of payments, they frequently request payment via wire transfer, gift card, prepaid card, cash reload card, cryptocurrency, or a money transfer app. Tech support con artists employ a wide range of strategies to deceive customers. You can avoid falling victim to the fraud by recognizing these tricks. **Possible mode of operation** **Making calls** Hang up if someone calls you unexpectedly and claims that your computer is having a problem. Tech support scammers frequently contact and pose as a computer specialist from a reputable business. They claim to have identified an issue with your machine. They usually pretend to run a diagnostic test before requesting remote access to your machine. Then they try to charge you for fixing a false problem. Go to a person you know and trust if you need assistance solving a problem. Many software vendors provide online or telephone assistance. Computer equipment retailers also provide in-person technical support. It’s as easy as looking for a computer specialist who can fix your computer. **Pop-up notification** Don’t call the number if it appears in a pop-up window on your computer. Pop-ups don’t have a contact email address or phone number. Such a thing has never appeared in my windows. A genuine security alert or warning will never instruct you to call a particular number. Scammers posing as tech help may attempt to con you by displaying a pop-up window on your computer screen. It could use logos from reputable businesses or websites and appear to be an error message from your operating system or antivirus software. The window’s message alerts you to a security problem with your computer and directs you to call a phone number for assistance. One other thing we should learn is to avoid giving our card details to friends and people we meet online. Anyone could be tricked into doing so either by building trust or friendship. A careful attention to such relationship always head towards money in exchange. **Thank you** for your time as we live with the gas and petrol price hike. @Celynjasmine **Lead image taken from unsplash.com**

How To Avoid Scams With Cryptocurrency **How To Avoid Scams With Cryptocurrency** Scammers are always coming up with new cryptocurrency-based schemes to steal your money. Here are some things to be aware of in order to avoid falling victim to cryptocurrency scams of any kind. You can also add your ideas in the comments. Fortunately, you may not have fallen victim to one of the many complaints of this scam, but it is still your obligation to be vigilant and ready to spot anything fishy. Cryptocurrency payments are always requested by scammers. No trustworthy company will request that you send cryptocurrencies in advance of making a purchase or protecting your money. Profits or large returns are only guaranteed by scammers. Don’t believe those who assure you that you may profit from the cryptocurrency markets rapidly and effortlessly. Never combine investment advice with online dating. It’s a fraud if someone you meet on a dating website or app asks you to send them cryptocurrency or wants to teach you how to invest in cryptocurrencies. Numbers of American are targets to this method. They have the highest victims. Scammers are still employing certain tried-and-true scam techniques, but now they want to be paid in cryptocurrencies. One of the most common methods a scammer get you to buy bitcoin and deliver it to them is through investment scams. Nevertheless, they (scammers) are all over the place and also pose as companies and governmental organizations and despite their smartness, have loop holes. They can be carefully detected.  **Investing fraud** Investment scams frequently begin on social media or online dating apps or sites and promise that you can “earn tons of money” with “zero risk.” Of course, these frauds might also begin with an unexpected text, email, or phone. Additionally, cryptocurrency plays a crucial role in investment scams in that it can be used for both investments and payments. Scammers make money-making promises or large rewards with assured returns. No one can provide those assurances. Much less quickly, much less. Additionally, investing in cryptocurrencies is not “low risk.” Therefore, it's a scam if a business or individual says you’ll make money. Even if there is a celebrity endorsement or positive investor reviews. Those are simple to fake. On Facebook, I have come across a lot of these.  Big assertions without backing or justifications are made by con artists. Regardless of the investment, learn how it operates and inquire as to where your money is going. That information is something that sincere investment managers or advisors wish to share and will support with specifics. Search online for the company or person’s name, the cryptocurrency’s name, and words like “review,” “scam,” or “complaint” before making a cryptocurrency investment. View the comments made by others. Moreover, learn more about other typical investing frauds. **Business, governmental, and employment imposters** In a corporate, government, or job impersonation scam, the con artist poses as a reliable source in an effort to persuade you to send them money via cryptocurrency purchases and transfers. Know that to stay away from job, company, and government impersonators No respectable organization or authority will ever send you a money-related email, text, or social media message. And they won’t ever insist that you pay with cryptocurrencies when you buy something. Even if it appears to be from a business you are familiar with, never click on a link in an unexpected text, email, or social media communication.  Anyone who contacts you unexpectedly and demands money in bitcoin shouldn’t be paid. Never pay money to apply for a job. It’s a scam if someone requests payment in advance for a task or instructs you to purchase cryptocurrencies as part of your duties. ****Trading Your Cryptocurrencies Safely**** It’s simple to believe that everyone is becoming wealthy through cryptocurrency trading. Many con artists use shady goods and services to prey on traders’ avarice. There is no low-risk strategy to trade because it is both dangerous and very speculative. However, by adhering to a few straightforward guidelines, traders can reduce some dangers. Note: This is not financial guidance. We provide several well-known justifications for and justifications against purchasing this product. Before making any investing decisions, we urge you to consult a professional. Only exchange assets you can afford to lose: Compared to equities and bonds, cryptocurrencies are far more erratic, and the market is expanding quickly. A famous altcoin today might not be around in a month or a year. In other words, traders should take into account the potential loss of all of their deposits. Investigate thoroughly Before opening accounts, traders should study evaluations of brokers and exchanges. Finding trustworthy, up-to-date information is essential because the cryptocurrency sector generates news every day with the introduction of new goods and exchanges. Message boards like CryptoCompare and BitcoinTalk can be a good source of knowledge and guidance. Select the Right Trading Instrument: Cryptocurrency can be purchased through a broker or an exchange, but there are alternative ways to speculate on price movements. **CFDs for cryptocurrencies** Some traders may think about trading Contracts for Difference if they want to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency (CFDs). Instead of actually owning the cryptocurrency, a CFD is a financial instrument that enables traders to bet on price alterations. As a regulated financial instrument, CFDs require a license from a regulatory body in order to be offered by brokers . In other words, a CFD’s value rises as the price of the cryptocurrency rises and decreases as the price of the cryptocurrency rises. Select a Licensed CFD Broker: You should do your research before depositing because there are obviously illegal CFD brokers operating. When working with an unregulated cryptocurrency exchange or broker, it is not always possible to get clear guidance on any related trading fees. you can share your ideas and hints too. **Thank you** all for your time. **@Celynjasmine**  `Lead image taken from pixabay`

Scalability Issues of BCH Despite being a very new cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash still adheres to many of the same principles as other cryptocurrencies. The value of BCH has typically fluctuated along with the rest of the market. Simply put, Bitcoin Cash is a Bitcoin hard fork. By immediately increasing the blocksize on the chain, it is intended to directly address Bitcoin’s scalability issue. It's crucial to note that Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork. There is no turning back once a cryptocurrency has undergone a hard fork. Users are required to decide which fork they wish to continue using for transactions because there is no backward compatibility. “A peer-to-peer electronic cash for the Internet,” is how Bitcoin Cash is characterized. It is completely decentralized, operates without a central bank, and doesn’t need any reliable third parties. The speed at which transactions can be processed is the major selling factor. The debate over scalability has been going on for a while now between various segments of the Bitcoin community. The network's transactional speed has slowed down as Bitcoin has expanded. As more users use the network, the number of transactions on the block-chain has grown dramatically. The term “scalability problem” refers to the fact that the size of each block has not increased with the number of users. Over the years, many investors and miners have argued for an increase in the blocksize to enable faster transactions. But why did Bitcoin transactions start to take longer? The digital signature is one of the main factors slowing down transaction speed. This signature is intended to confirm that the sender has the required cash to complete a transaction, just like other digital currency. The Segregated Witness (SegWit) solution, which was created to settle the scalability argument by removing the signature from the input and transferring it to the conclusion of the transaction, was deployed by Bitcoin in August 2017. Theoretically, this technique raises a block’s 1MB limit to around 4MB. Similar to other cryptocurrencies, media attention has a significant impact on Bitcoin Cash. When selecting how to invest in Bitcoin Cash, keep an eye on the news. Expect to see more and more new traders join in as Bitcoin and other currencies grab headlines. The value of all cryptocurrencies will rise as a result. When it reaches its top, you’ll undoubtedly notice a sharp decline in value as shrewd investors take their profits. Competition Between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash In contrast to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Cash is in direct conflict with Bitcoin, and as a result of Bitcoin’s hard fork, both cryptocurrencies are putting up different proposals to address the scalability issue. Whether consumers choose SegWit over explicitly increasing the blocksize will Be a crucial determinant of Bitcoin Cash’s potential for success. Additionally, bear in mind that Bitcoin Cash will initially “take” from Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin directly compete with one another for user attention, Bitcoin Cash has the ability to carve out a unique niche for itself in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. I’d be interested in hearing your opinion on this. Instead than being physically printed by banks or governments, Bitcoin Cash is mined similarly to Bitcoin. Through the use of blockchain technology, which serves as a general ledger and logs every transaction ever done, Bitcoin Cash is generated digitally by its community. Mining objectives This serves two objectives. First off, it encourages users to complete transactions on the blockchain. They receive BHC as compensation, which they can later sell. Second, it regulates the quantity of coinage in use. The sole method for producing new currencies is through “mining.” The difficulty of mining coins is intended to steadily rise over time. This will keep the market from being oversaturated. If you’ve ever wondered when Bitcoin Cash’s maximum circulation would be reached. At some point, Bitcoin Cash will reach its 21 million maximum and stop producing new coins. Instead, miners will now receive a little portion of each transaction as payment. The fact that Bitcoin Cash has a scalable difficulty is one interesting fact. This implies that mining BHC becomes simpler for surviving miners as fewer miners are active. This has prompted some miners to adopt BHC since they can earn more money from it, but it also has the unintended consequence of flooding the market with coins all at once, which lowers the price of Bitcoin Cash. The major use case for Bitcoin Cash, according to many traders and investors, is price speculating, however anyone who operates an e-commerce website can accept Bitcoin Cash. Many well-known retailers, including Lush, Overstock, and Newegg, use the BitPay infrastructure, which enables Bitcoin Cash payments. I’ll see you all in the next post, gratitude for reading. @Celynjasmine Lead image taken from unsplash.com

Bitcoin Dip: An opportunity For Many News of the movement of two tranches of 5,000 BTC each early last month engulfed the cryptocurrency community. The fact that the bitcoins flowed to other addresses instead of exchanges suggests that they may have been sold over the counter (OTC) to new owners. This was good news because it prevented a drop in the market price of bitcoin because it wasn’t being sold on exchanges. In addition to this solace, the ongoing negative financing rate offered some support to the cryptocurrency markets, allowing BTC to relax back beyond $20,000 and ETH to rise above $1,500. “New whale accumulation also benefited prices, with BTC welcoming 103 new whale wallets containing at least 100 BTC compared to the week before, suggesting that new dip buyers are still many, snatching up BTC anytime a good opportunity avails,” claims New Whales Support BTC Price. 100. A decrease In the quantity of BTCs on spot exchanges has confirmed that purchasers are continuing to use the downturn to amass more BTC, and I wish I was one, as seen by this string of new whale accumulation. A great opportunity to top up and clean up. According to the current situation, the amount of BTC on exchanges has decreased to lows last seen in November 2018, which was in the midst of that bad market cycle. It's interesting to note that while the supply of BTC on exchanges increased during the end of the 2018 bear market, during this cycle the supply has been declining regardless of price movement. This demonstrates a hodler trend that is steadily reducing the amount of Bitcoin in circulation that is available for trading. This keeps raising the question in my mind: Will this trend cause Bitcoin’s price to rise significantly more during the next bull run? Time will only tell. However, as global central banks continue to tighten monetary policies, the price of BTC was unable to gather enough momentum to eventually move over $20,500, demonstrating that bulls lacked fortitude in the face of a deteriorating macroeconomic climate for the cryptocurrency market. It's Interesting that the ETH Merge also takes place on September 15th. This synchronicity has sparked a number of hypotheses about what might transpire in the cryptocurrency market on that day. Most theories are currently pessimistic and predict that the cryptocurrency market will fall on that day, yet surprisingly, what is happening right now is still happening. Nevertheless, as most seasoned traders are aware, what is most anticipated frequently does not, and the recent September 15 may end up being a non-event after all. But even so, it could be a good idea for traders to record this day on their calendars. The futures basis and trading volume on ETH have increased as traders position themselves for the impending “apocalypse” in ETH and likely Bitcoin as it goes through the Merge. This may be because traders are holding long positions in the spot market to qualify for the forked tokens while also taking short positions in the futures market to protect themselves against a price decline. For the first time ever, the volume of ETH futures trading has overtaken that of BTC due to the extreme rush into this trade. Don’t be shocked if something extraordinary occurs in the future—possibly by this mother’s end—that leads to a squeeze, given how crowded this trade is. Long-term holder loss is approaching levels last seen during the greatest fall in the 2018 bear market, according to the BTC net unrealized profit-loss indicator. This would indicate that BTC is about to reach its cyclical bottom, which might be just a few weeks or inches away. Even while it’s likely that BTC holders won’t experience losses as severe as those experienced during the 2018 cycle, the present net unrealized loss has to keep declining for a few more weeks before we can claim with greater certainty that the current downtrend may be coming to an end. While the cryptocurrency market is range-bound and looking for direction, traders who are unsure of what to trade may want to think about trading in the traditional asset classes since both the equities and currency markets recently had some strong swings. You can trade these asset classes in the same way that you trade cryptocurrencies on many different trading platforms. Thank you for your time as we hope for the best. @Celynjasmine Lead image source: unsplash.com

Should we invest in Bitcoin Cash? One of the most popular forks of the original Bitcoin network is Bitcoin Cash. The idea for the cryptocurrency was inspired by unhappiness with the direction Bitcoin was taking, which was away from Satoshi Nakamoto’s original plan for it to function as a digital money. In contrast to a store of value, Bitcoin Cash was designed to function more like a currency. Even though Bitcoin Cash is meant to be a more useful money, enthusiasts of cryptocurrencies frequently invest in it. The coin’s price has the typical market volatility, but many people believe its future will be brighter and will provide higher values in the following months and years. The narrative surrounding the evolving landscape of transactions and payments is beginning to be influenced by cryptocurrencies. Many believe that digital payments are the way of the future, and businesses and even central banks are taking an interest in cryptocurrencies. This is why future investors have a lot of promise with Bitcoin Cash. Commentators are making some really intriguing predictions for the upcoming years as the Bitcoin price prediction comes up more and more frequently. For the majority of its existence, Bitcoin Cash held onto the top ten coins by market cap, however it recently lost that position. The price of the coin does not even come close to that of Bitcoin; even at its peak, just a few days after Bitcoin surpassed $20,000, it only managed to reach $3,643. The future price of Bitcoin Cash is crucial and worth predicting since the coin has a lot of potential in a world that is increasingly shifting towards a time when cryptocurrencies and digital payments will rule. The price forecasts also differ significantly since some people firmly believe that Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin and should be treated as such, while others think it is a useless cryptocurrency that is not as useful as it is claimed to be. Given that Bitcoin Cash was designed to be the successor to Bitcoin and remedy the currency’s flaws, its future is an intriguing one. But as Bitcoin has developed, it has gained increasing popularity as an asset rather than a currency. Having said that, there is a rising need for cryptocurrencies to behave more like useful currencies. After it forked, Bitcoin Cash, which has the same name and history as Bitcoin, might be considered the coin’s next iteration.

BCH Bearish Falls and Rise Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good weekend. In today’s post, I bring to you the  BCH falls and rise and some of their predictions in the future.  BCH declines due to negative crypto sentiment Since the beginning of the year, BCH has dropped 72%, and just under 15% over the past month. During the December 2017 cryptocurrency surge, the price of the BCH coin soared to its all-time high, rising to $4,355.62 from $1,381.81 at the beginning of the month. By February 2018, the currency was trading around $1,000, and after rising above $1,600 in May 2018, the price stayed below that mark until the May 2021 crypto rally drove it up to $1,635.15 on May 12. Following market rallies in September and November 2021, BCH dropped significantly below $1,000, closing the year at $430.64. The price fell on January 24 to $262.50. Following a recovery to $389.41 on March 31, it dropped to $160.07 on May 12 amid the Terra Luna crash. The price was dragged down by a pessimistic attitude, reaching $96.00 on July 13. On July 29, the price increased to $163.60, but by the end of August, it was trading at $114.67. BCH peaked at $134.46 on September 10 before falling to $117.20 on September 13 due to a selloff. What will happen to bitcoin cash in the future? According to CoinCodex, the short-term outlook for BCH was bearish at the time of writing on September 14. Compared to two buy indications, 26 technical analysis indicators were indicating bearish movement. According to CoinCodex, the price of bitcoin cash may drop to $98.07 on September 19 and rise to $113.79 by October 15. According to Wallet Investor’s projection for 2022, the price of bitcoin cash would fluctuate greatly, dropping to $49.05 in October and rising to $498.194 by the end of the year. The price might then decrease, according to the algorithm-based forecaster, to $206.892 by the end of 2023 and to $3.309 by the end of 2025. On the other hand, DigitalCoin’s forecast for the price of BCH currency was overwhelmingly bullish, predicting that it might increase from an average of $156.55 in 2022 to $271.36 in 2023 and $495.78 in 2025. Based on past statistics, DigitalCoin predicted that the price of bitcoin cash would reach $1,653.42 by the end of the decade. According to Coin Price Forecast’s BCH cryptocurrency price prediction, bitcoin cash prices might increase from $168 at the end of 2022 to $202 in 2023, $293 in 2025, and $573 in 2030. Well, we all wish for something positive Gov Capital’s forecast for the BCH price was pessimistic, predicting the value of the coin to be zero by December 2022. This is hilarious; I can’t imagine something like that happening. It's crucial to keep In mind that crypto currency markets continue to be extremely volatile when considering any predictions for the price of bitcoin cash because this makes it challenging to predict a coin’s price with any degree of accuracy over the short term and even harder to provide estimates for the long term. Therefore, forecasts made by analysts and online forecasting websites can be inaccurate. Before making any investment decisions, it is advised that you always conduct your own research and take into account the most recent market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and professional advice. Remember that past results do not guarantee future success. Likewise, never risk investing funds that you cannot afford to lose. Thank you for your time as we expect a more positive change.

Self Acceptance None of us are flawless; we all have areas in which we would like to grow. While others focus on them and turn into their own worst critics, some people are able to accept their flaws. Even at the height of our achievement, we still cannot have it all. We must accept that as being in keeping with human nature. Accepting our values, preferences, resources, feelings, intuitions, and past and present actions, as well as our strengths and accomplishments without being overly self-absorbed about them, and learning to acknowledge our weaknesses and faults without beating ourselves up or using excessively negative self-talk, demonstrates that we are content with who we are and have accepted who we are. When you accept who you are, you won’t need the approval of others to feel good about yourself or hold yourself in high esteem. Being able to love and respect oneself and seeing yourself as a complete human being as opposed to identifying yourself by any one trait, experience, talent, or flaw. On the other hand, a lack of self-acceptance can result in a split sense of self that exists deep within your subconscious, wherein one aspect of you is enraged, unhappy, annoyed, ashamed of, or disappointed with another. Only until you forgive and accept yourself will these broken pieces be able to come together. Someone I’ve seen has declined to attend an interview because she thinks she won’t get the job. That is how those with this perspective make unpleasant things happen to themselves. Accepting who you are as you are is the definition of self-acceptance. This relates to enjoying who you are and what you do. Because you care less about what other people think when you embrace yourself, self-acceptance has its own advantages. This makes it easier for you to see things clearly and less probable for you to hold a grudge against yourself. Your entire well-being can be significantly influenced by how you feel about yourself. Lack of self-acceptance can have an impact on our mental health and contribute to disorders like sadness, anxiety, and poor self-confidence as well as a fear of failure. It can cause someone to avoid people or situations that make them feel bad, and because there aren’t clear limits, it can ruin relationships. Self-loathing and a propensity for negative self-talk. Similar to the woman I described who believes she won’t be employed because she has tried so many times but failed. **Can one learn to embrace oneself?** Learning is basically gaining the knowledge we need to live a better life; it never ends. It is never too late to learn; everything can be learned at any time. **Accept your values:** It’s critical to recognize, state, and accept your individual values and ideas. Following your beliefs when you think and behave might help you feel more like yourself, have better self-respect, and find it simpler to accept who you are. **Establish sound limits:** You might discover that you need to set boundaries in your career, relationships, time, and money, among other areas of your life. Establish limits and uphold them. Don’t let people cross your boundaries or treat you like they own the place. This can lessen abuse, which you can find challenging to accept on a subconscious level. Self-forgiveness is the ability to accept responsibility for your actions and move on from mistakes. Acquire the ability to forget your transgressions. **Eliminate self-blame:** Recognize that not all of the bad things that happen to you are your fault. Be objective and assess any additional elements that might have affected the situation. **Don’t assess yourself against others:** Instead of comparing yourself to other people, strive to be a better version of the person you were before. Strive to see the bright side of any circumstance by keeping your attention on the positive. Try to think of at least one thing you did right rather than concentrating on what you did poorly. Reframe any negative thoughts you have about yourself and think them differently in a positive light. **Keep a diary:** Keep a notebook where you can record your triumphs and strengths as well as your flaws and disappointments. It can be beneficial to write down your ideas in the circumstance and what you could have done differently if you are having trouble accepting anything. This can assist you in making changes in the future and acting more morally. **Conclusion** Accepting who you are can make you happier, more at ease, and contribute to your overall wellbeing.  However, having low self-confidence and a negative perspective of yourself can lead to a lack of self-acceptance and a higher chance of developing mental health issues including depression and anxiety. Fortunately, there are actions you may take to encourage acceptance of who you are. Prioritize your assets, abstain from placing blame for circumstances beyond your control, and most importantly, be kind to yourself when you make mistakes. Thank you for reading once again.

My Idea of a Happy Life As an adult, I now understand that life is never easy & a bed of roses. It is not as easy as it sounds by name. It is what everyone has even the trees and flowers including the animals, but still can have many definitions at certain stages.  Life can be both happy and sad. *“To be content doesn’t mean you don’t desire more, it means you are thankful for what you have and patient for what’s to come” _****Tony Gaskins*** In actuality, happiness and grief can alternate at times. My vision of a happy existence is that we should never dwell on our bad days and become agitated; instead, we should learn how to handle our sorrows and get through them gracefully. We are left with the task of coping with difficult circumstances in a way that can keep us joyful no matter what because we cannot escape the harsh realities of life. Instead, we must find ways to look for happiness and joy in order to satisfy our needs. However, because life has diverse meanings for different individuals, everyone’s vision of a happy and perfect life is distinct. Happiness is a mental condition that has nothing to do with success or tangible wealth. Many individuals think that in order to be happy, they must become extremely wealthy. People think that wealth is the answer to all of life’s problems since it allows the wealthy to live life to the fullest in all respects. But it’s not true. Rich people do, in fact, experience sadness and misery. Some people think that great rank and authority conceal someone’s happiness. However, this is also untrue. I witnessed an irate wealthy man. It is evident that no one in this world is wholly content with what they have. Human desires are limitless, and we are constantly striving to accomplish more. I’m so ambitious that even if I made a grand in two minutes, I wouldn’t want to keep working for money indefinitely. The primary cause of all human suffering is their insatiable drive for more. Therefore, satisfaction in life is required because it is crucial for happiness. The number of material possessions is endless. If all you ever want in life is to have all kinds of opulent possessions, you can never be happy and content. You will not benefit from doing this at all; instead, you will be opening the door for future suffering. By limiting our wants, we can live a balanced existence. A man in good health is said by famous individuals to be the happiest person on planet. Your level of happiness is largely dependent on our thinking. The way we behave affects how happy we are. To maintain our happiness, we need to act morally. Happiness therefore cannot be found outside of our hearts. The secret lies in being sincere and happy. We frequently overhear our neighbors urging one another to live happy lives. What, then, does a good existence consist of? Is there a formula or general guideline that might be used to achieve a happy life? According to what I understand, whether or not anything makes your life joyful or sad relies entirely on how you view it. Even occasionally, when I wish for a good existence, I am reminded of the vast majority of those who do not even have what I do. So why should I feel like I need to be happy when, in comparison to those who aren’t, I already am? A good life, in my opinion, relies on how you view your life. We are halfway there if we can control our greed, learn to be happy with what we have, and stop being envious of other people and the events in their lives. The image that people have of themselves may not match what we perceive in them. We may be depressed because we believe they are happy based on the appearance. The key to happiness is having access to good food, nice friends, a decent job, a good family, a good home, and good health. My mother has always advised me to consider those who lack homes, wholesome food, are ill and dying, and do not have the money to pay for medical care. When we do, we will realize how fortunate we are, and we should give thanks to God and be glad that we are not one of those people who are suffering like they are. Isn’t that joy, then? If we believe that’s all we need to be happy, then spending time with family, appreciating the little things we do for them and what they do for us, and enjoying the little outings and gifts we receive, would be sufficient. However, if you constantly judge yourself against others, you won’t ever be happy, will always experience frustration, and won’t be able to fully appreciate life. So give thanks to God for what you have and enjoy it. Thank you for your time. @Celynjasmine Lead image credit: taken from unsplash.com

Self Satisfaction Hello guys, it is a pleasure to write again today. I hope you are having a good time. I am so happy to be here again with my second post. I was so impressed by your welcome and tips in my very first post, thank you all who took part. There are many inspiring success tales. However, some people are still not happy with their accomplishments. Why so? Because they have excessively broad or perhaps limitless desires. Without achieving personal fulfillment, it is impossible to enjoy mental serenity. You’ll experience unease. Some people think it costs money to be happy with oneself. They believe it is difficult to be content with one’s own accomplishments. Unbelievable as it may seem, such a mental pattern will only result in suffering of oneself and emotional imbalance. A person of such will experience anxiety or lack of confidence. Because it fosters our ability to believe in ourselves. Satisfaction is crucial, we won’t ever be able to be happy if we don’t learn to appreciate our own accomplishments. We’ll experience a sense of being left behind, which will eventually result in depression and therefore, I advise against trying to take solace in your accomplishments. Don’t impose any requirements on it, don’t wait for an excuse to feel content. Seize every chance you can to feel confident and happy. Life is valuable, learn the art of satisfaction if you don’t want to miss the delightful moments and the chance to treasure the joy concealed in minor life events. You don’t need a really compelling cause to be content and joyful. You will determine what can make you happy and what cannot, as we already stated. You have the choice to live your entire life with a sense of unfinishedness. However, it won’t benefit you in any way. Focus on your successes instead of listing your shortcomings, including both monetary and non-monetary ones. Pick as many of your pleasant moments as you can. Live life to the fullest and forget the unpleasant memories. New possibilities occasionally arise in life. Because we want to be content and get ready for the future's prospects, satisfaction is crucial. Everyone aspires to live a life filled with love and happiness and the finest existence for a person is brought about by a combination of happiness and joy. The person who Is happy and joyful in his life remains content and satisfied with everything he has since it keeps the issues and anxieties at bay. But even the mere existence of happiness or joy in one’s life should be treasured. Seeking joy in life is preferable because it is connected to happiness. When seeking happiness, a person solely thinks about themselves. A person seeking joy, however, does not remain self-centered but instead directs his attention toward others. The joy we feel ties us to our higher selves. A person can succeed in discovering joy if he is prepared to give up happiness in his life. Our connection to other people’s lives is mediated by our sense of joy. Happiness is a state of personal fulfillment that may or may not involve other people. **Life without Joy and Happiness:** A life devoid of happiness or joy will be gloomy and unpleasant. A person who lacks joy and happiness will always be dissatisfied and miserable. He will be in such a state that he won’t be able to interact with anyone in real life. He will alienate more individuals and lose his close friends. Whatever he does, he will pay the price. He will eventually succumb to loneliness and desperation because they will become part of his essence. All of a person’s flaws will surface in the absence of love and happiness, turning him into an outcast in society. His entire family will turn on him. **Importance of Joy and Happiness:**  A person’s life is extremely important for their joy and happiness. They make life more colorful and give it the greatest possible shape. A pleased man is a happy man. The person will be able to concentrate his attention on the most significant aspects of life rather than chasing after unimportant pursuits. He will make time for his loved ones and close friends. A person who Is joyful and content in life can succeed to the highest levels in every endeavor. He will be a subdued person who is capable of making wise decisions on his own. He has the ability to live his dream life and become the person he has always wanted to be and he will triumph in the end. **Summary** Thus, there is still a clear distinction between a life filled with happiness and joy and one in which they are lacking. Everyone dreams of living in the latter life, whereas no one wishes for the former. In light of this, adding happiness and joy to life, two of the greatest qualities, makes a person happy, content, fulfilled, and healthy. Thank you for your time once again, have a beautiful Sunday. @Celynjasmine Lead image credit: taken from unsplash.com

Joined at the Right Time: My First Post on read What’s going on everyone? Good evening from here as I appreciate my signing up on this reading site. With happiness and a smile on my face, I present for the first time “my first post”. Thank you everybody wherever you are reading this now, I am thankful for joining at last. My name is Jasmine Celyn and that’s my username @CelynJasmine , I am an entrepreneur and I have been looking for a website like this to have something with, a place to share my feelings and seasons, read others as well and inter-communicate. It is so amazing to find out that this is a site that matches my expectations beyond my imagination. I have come to see more posts about crypto which I just started getting interested in. The more good reason for my being here is to read about business and ideas and interestingly, the second post on my notifications field welcomed my imagination. As I ventured more and more, I saw more interesting articles that teach experience and manage expertise in business and communication, that’s a good start for me and I am happy about that. I got to know about this site some time ago, probably by the beginning of this year, it was a new writing site to me and I didn’t bother to know more about it even as a lover of reading and writing. A few days ago, I remembered this site again while surfing the internet looking for answers to different questions I have for my business. After it helped me answer one of my questions, I immediately didn’t hesitate to put it down in my record journal and finally, I signed up yesterday. After reading the rules, it looked easy to keep and the guide provided was helpful too. This is a simple website and I acknowledge that. More about myself I am 22 and a graduate of business administration. I own a local business. I started my grocery store last year in June after I graduated from the university. I am the second of three siblings from a family of four. I lost my Dad five years ago to a fatal accident that claimed the lives of many. Today, I am happy to do most of my business online and have enough money to take care of my mother and sisters. I love sports even though I hardly find free time for sports, I eat good foods to maintain my health, I take more vegetables and fruits because they are more natural and better for someone like me that rarely has time to jog the streets. I also try to learn from everything around me as learning never ends. I love associating with people of the same business goals and ideas and I also love making new friends. Here on READ, I hope to make more virtual friends than expected within some time and relate with them too. I can’t possibly forget to mention how interesting it is to write and get paid in BCH by a random visitor. I have seen bigger figures earned and a lot of posts about it. That is really super interesting and amazing; meanwhile, I hope to have a complete experience of how things work on this site too as experience teaches better. Thank you all for reading my first post, I am happy to be here and pleased to have my writing being read at last. I am grateful to be one, thanks to the creators for making this a reality. Nice to meet y’all and bye for now. @CelynJasmine Lead image taken from unsplash photos
