Stake Cardano to earn passive income
I'm liking Cardano because it is easy to stake. Staking Cardano allows owners of the crypto currency to earn a nice interest rate.
Check with the various ADA pools to see which one meets your cost and return requirements.
I found one that has low fees and historically returns 5%, so I'm happy.
I'm not a financial advisor, so this is just for information and edutainment. Do your own due diligence. Also, avoid scammers promising free coin drops.
Staking is a lot easier than I thought it would be.
I transferred a small amount of ADA to my Yoroi wallet I downloaded from the Google Play store.
Once the Cardano transferred (which was very fast), I was able to select the stating option in my wallet (delegate).
I took a look at the various pools and selected one with low fees and a 5% historical return. The operator seems like a decent person and is into the Cardano project.
I was able to review the various pools from clicking in my wallet to open a browser window.
The epoch period for Cardano is 5 days. I staked my ADA toward tree end of the epoch, so I'll be able to experience a full epoch.
I'm excited.
I see the market correction as a big sale, so I'll be buying more crypto using a dollar cost averaging strategy.
I'm excited about Cardano and Helium because of their projects.
I'm still bullish on Bitcoin and Etherium for long term holding and buying since the prices are nice.
Seek out your own advice from a financial planner, because I'm just expressing opinions.
I wish you all the luck as well as the rewards of due diligence and spotting opportunities.
Stereotyping results in a debate loss
I was agreeing with many points I was reading in a "how-to debate" article.
Just as I was thinking "I'm liking this author's points," he wrote some stereotypes about certain people and their debate styles.
I won't get into the specifics of the stereotypes because it doesn't matter for this essay.
The article suggests that some people rely on facts, while others just rely on emotion.
Of course, there wasn't any citation to any particular studies. Just an observation or two from mass media debates. Media debates are often framed as high conflict events, so they don't reflect the way many people argue persuasive points on the job or in daily life.
We fear each other because of stereotypes perpetuated within our society. When humans are reduced to stereotypes, it shuts down our ability to see common areas of agreement.
People aren't always one way (overly emotional) or another (highly rational), especially when it comes to debate style. People use both argument styles in the same debates.
A television program is more likely to emphasize the drama and conflict because it gets people to watch.
A debate at a college is usually more reasoned than a daytime talk show.
Untelevised governmental meetings are more sedate than hot topic issues with a full compliment of cameras and live coverage.
It all depends on the audience watching the debate.
It isn't right to assume certain people argue using any particular style when the medium showing the argument influences the drama and emotion.
*Writer's note: I wrote the draft using a 10 minute timer. I spent 45 minutes editing and selecting the artwork for the essay.*
Self Portrait
I was inspired by seeing another artist's vector art and decided to try using some filters on a self portrait to see what I could produce.
I'm loving the way my self portrait looks.
I am going to experiment with some more photo art creations in the coming months since I'm feeling inspired.
Is Cryptotab Browser Worthwhile For Bitcoin Mining?
I'm running **Cryptotab's Browser Pro** on two cellphones. https://cb.run/easy-passive-income
I've been running it for a couple of days.
I've almost made back half of my purchase price of the app (99 cents USD). *The CryptoTab link above is an affiliate link and will earn me a reward if you sign up and start mining crypto using the CryptoTab Browser*.
I'm pretty excited because I can earn some extra income just by running the Cryptotab Brower on my phones.
Android doesn't allow mining on cell phones, so the actual work is being done in the cloud using Cryptotab's equipment.
And, you are actually mining Monero, but are being paid in Bitcoin.
I am having fun with Cryptotab. The browser is based on Chrome, so it's easy to use. I look at it like a mobile game. Instead of clicking buttons to score points, I'm clicking a button every so often to have Cryptotab mine some Bitcoin for my wallet.
If you sign up for **Cryptotab** using my link, it helps me out and is greatly appreciated. https://cryptotabbrowser.com/23188985
Take a look and leave a comment below with your thoughts about Cryptotab.
Bullish on Helium (HNT) and their IoT / 5g decentralized network
I'm bullish about Helium (HNT). https://helium.com
Let's watch the rockets fire off to the moon!
The decentralized internet of things and soon to be 5g network is an opportunity that comes along only a few times in a lifetime.
Disclosure: I want in on Helium (HNT). I haven't invested yet and haven't mined yet, but I hope to get my hands on a miner.
The network has about 32,000+ hot spots as of the last time I checked yesterday (May 7).
"The People's Network" is growing by the minute as people receive their miners from manufacturers who have been overwhelmed with demand.
Bobcat has a backlog of 200,000 miners, according to reports. https://bobcatminer.com
Other manufacturers report similar backlogs because of the demand. Waiting lists are available for the 5g rollout hot spots.
Make sure to verify the manufacturer's link through Helium.com since people warn of scammers cloning sites to rip off unsuspecting victims. https://helium.com
A small network today could explode later this summer and fall after people deploy their Helium (HNT) hot spot mining rigs.
The thing that makes Helium (HNT) mining attractive is the current bull run on the tokens. Also, the Helium network is reporting beautiful pay outs. See explorer.helium.com. https://explorer.helium.com
I want in on Helium (HNT).
I see this exploding into something huge disrupting the old traditional wireless providers.
I've observed in my area, the Helium (HNT) hot spots are already deployed in some of the more upscale neighborhoods. The rich people are already in on Helium (HNT) mining.
I want to earn some Helium (HNT) so I can be comfortable as well as be a part of a telecommunications revolution.
I'm no financial advisor, so check with the pros for investing advice. This is just my opinion and this post is for entertainment.
I'll purchase some while I await my miners.
The Easy Way to Earn Money in Crypto by Doing Nothing
Invest it and forget it is one way.
I started a crypto wallet about three years ago and funded it with a small amount of Etherium (ETH).
I forgot about the crypto wallet until recently when I saw ETH hit an all time high. I wondered about my little itty slice of the Etherium pie seeing all the excitement.
I logged into my crypto wallet and was pleasantly surprised to see that my small investment which would have bought me a value meal back in 2018 could get me a nice steak dinner at a half-way decent chop house in my midwestern suburban area.
I have other wallets that are more active, but it is always nice to have an investment just "out there" to HODL with the idea that the charts are trending upward.
Of course, do your due diligence and don't invest more than you can afford to lose in case the market for any particular crypto coin fails.
But, it is nice to put an amount that could fund a lottery ticket which has little chance for winning on a coin and getting a nice return sometime in the future, if the market continues upward.
Seeing all the news about big financial companies entering the crypto markets, interest from famous people, and use planned by governments in Africa makes me optimistic about the future of crypto.
It is nice to have a traditional mutual fund and other retirement account, but I'm hoping that cryptocurrency continues its rise and outperforms the older investment vehicles. Especially, if they can continue to outpace what the older investment plans can hope to produce.
I'm not an investment advisor, so take any information you read here with that in mind. Diversify. Invest in a bunch of different things, such as real estate, stocks and bonds, and then risker (but more rewarding) investments such as Bitcoin, Etherium, Cardano, and other alt-coins with decent projects, such as Basic Attention Token (BAT).
