The Chronicles of the Modern Man! #4 The Utility of Social Media

Hello everyone! Welcome to this fourth article of my Blog '**The Chronicles of the Modern Man**' **I wish you a better year than the previous one**. As we all know, we have all suffered on different levels And this is not going to get any better in the coming months! Do you know how useful **Social Media** can be in these times of crisis? (*I'm talking about Social Media and not Social Networks*)   **First of all:** **Social Media** allows us to **keep ourselves informed** about news other than what we hear on the Radio, read in Newspapers, see on TV, but also about News App, or Social Networks … I am not saying that we are tired of all this endless media hype (Covid-19, Pandemic, Virus, Mutant, Deaths, Vaccines, job losses, blah blah ...), it is important and primordial to stay informed.  **But what about the news that really interests us?** ***Why doesn't the 'PRESS' tell us about Cryptocurrencies?*** It is however a whole world in full effervescence! **Cryptocurrencies has just surpassed $1,000 Billion in Market Capitalization!** And the Press doesn't think it is necessary to talk about it? In that case, let's go get the information where it is. Let's get it from the **Social Media**. Because people, like you and me, are **doing their best to bring you relevant**, **interesting information**, and also a **lot of things to learn**.  **The World of Cryptos is so vast** and the **News changes every day**, that it is just as important to keep informed, because *in Life there is not only the Covid*!   **Secondly:** Almost every government in the world imposes rules on us: ***Wear a mask***  ***Respect the barrier gestures***  ***No more than X people in one room/house*** ***Curfew - Quarantines***  ***And much more, I'm not going to quote them all.*** While on **Social Media** you can :  ***Do not wear Masks*** ***You are far enough away physically to take no risks.***  ***On the Social Media you can be Thousands or Millions of people in the same place, in complete safety.*** ***Internet and Cryptos, it's a 24/7 activity, no Curfews***   **Thirdly:** Then **our social interactions are reduced** to their strictest minimum. **Social Media** allows you to ***EXPRESS YOURSELF***! Then use them  **The less we have the possibility to communicate in our lives outside the net**, **the less we want to communicate on the net**, **why?** I can't understand that considering the world situation, people like you and me, who spend more time on **Social Media** than anywhere else, **are appalled at the poverty of communication** on them! It should be the opposite. You should be happy to see that the world does not revolve around this Pandemic (although it governs a large part of our daily lives), t**he world is vast**, **beautiful things happen every day**. Crypto's news changes every day, it's **a bottomless well of knowledge and sharing**, ***so why settle for a simple 'OK' or 'Thank you', or even worse → a Smiley!*** We need to **open our eyes**, our lifestyles have changed profoundly, and **why can't we adapt ourselves too?** - **Communication is one of the pillars of our Humanity**, why deny it? When you read an article or a post that interests you (you don't have to read everything that is posted) **why can't you post a comment of more than 2-3 words?** Has it become so complicated to communicate in a civilized way?   **Fourthly:** Did you know that ... Here are a **few things that you might have missed in the last few days**, weeks, which are just as many topics that can spark interest or debate: *Did you know* ***that there is a Centillionaires Club****? And yes! I am pleased to announce that at least* ***5 people on Earth have surpassed the 100 Billion personal Fortune milestone*** *(Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, Arnault).* *Did you know that* ***the fortune of the 500 richest people in the world increased by $1800 billion in 2020****?* *Did you know that* ***a Chilean Start-up invented a plastic bag****,* ***without plastic****, by replacing petrol with a Limestone Substrate,* ***which disintegrates in water****. Or* ***a French Start-up has developed a plastic-eating enzyme to reduce Pollution****.*  *Did you know that* ***if the Cement Industry was a country****,* ***it would be the 3rd biggest polluter*** *on the planet?* *Did you know that Ethereum has become Ethereum 2.0, allowing ETH Staking!* *Did you know that* ***every day new Social Media platforms appear****, and all of them* ***bring you continuous information****? (Crypto or not)*  *Did you know that* ***Elon Musk became the richest man in the world****? Surfing on the Wave of Crypto News* *….*   **Fifthly:** **While millions of people on earth have lost their jobs**, or seen their salaries reduced, it becomes difficult to 'survive'. But if you take the time to read what is posted on the **Social Media**, **you could learn a lot about how to earn a little more money**, on the net and through Cryptos (*BE CAREFUL! I'm not talking about Airdrop or Faucet!*) There are incredible ways to **earn a small passive income**, depending on what you are looking for.  *With* ***Staking****, you* ***deposit PoS Coins/Tokens on a Staking Platform or a Staking Wallet****, and it* ***generates interest every day****, for as long as you wish.*  ***Blogging****, can also bring you a form of income,* ***the more you work****,* ***the more you will have the chance to earn cryptos****.*  ***Participating in the development of communities or projects*** *can also allow you to win Cryptos* ***There are countless ways to earn Cryptos****, it's up to you to find the one that suits you best (And I'll keep reminding you,* ***Any investment in Cryptos involves risk, only invest what you can afford to lose****).*   **Sixthly:** Here are some **Social Media/Platforms** that might be of interest to you: ***Floyx****: 100% Crypto Content (You can earn $)* https://www.floyx.com/ ***Publish0x****: Content mostly Crypto (You can earn BAT, ETH, AMPL)* https://www.publish0x.com?a=nXe09NXaxr ***Uptrennd****: Crypto content and all kinds (You can earn 1UP)* https://www.uptrennd.com/signup/MzYxNQ ***Read.Cash****: Crypto Content and Generalist (You can earn BCH)* https://read.cash/r/ChrissCrypto ***Torum****: this new* ***Social Media*** *platform, mostly Crypto content (You can earn XTM)* https://www.torum.com/signup?referral_code=chriss *There are still many others, it's up to you to find the one that suits you best.*    Take care of yourself, keep yourself informed.   Thank you for reading this short fourth article of **The Chronicles of the Modern Man**. **#TCMM** Christophe WILHELM  ***Source Photo*** https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/th%C3%A9orie-de-l-%C3%A9volution-homme-118705626.jpg
