I'm powering up Christmas ***Hello, awesome readers! December it's here, so Christmas it's officially here for many of us!*** Another month has passed and it's time to post a short recap of my blogging journey during November. This month's recap will be very short and concise because what we all want is to talk about the Christmas holidays and the end of the year. **November earnings on Read.cash** My earnings were very similar to the previous month. I wrote 14 articles, one…
The Perfect Gift Challenge ***How are you awesome Read.cash readers?*** How is your Christmas shopping going? Are you already shopping for gifts or have you already thought about what to give to your loved ones? Are you one of those who choose the perfect gift for someone with ease or do you have a hard time making up your mind? I'm more of those who find it hard. I tend to be a little indecisive when it comes to shopping even for myself. If you ask me for my perfect gift,…
Some random thoughts on Monday night ***How are you awesome Read.cash readers. On my side of the world, it's still Monday, so happy new week.*** During the weekend, my son had to buy a Secret Santa present, so we took the chance to go to a mall. We did some shopping. Since the pandemic began I haven't gone shopping, and my visits to malls had been for specific errands. However, on Saturday, we window shopped and walked around the mall. Which by the way was a bit empty,…
Thank you, Gracias, Salamat ***Hello everyone, awesome people at Read.cash.*** Today I thought I wouldn't have time to post and I really don't, hehe. But I didn't want to let time go by without at least making a little post to thank you all. So as I take my first cup of coffee this morning to charge my batts, I will do this short and fast but from the bottom of my heart. I don't know if you know it, but thankfulness is one of the positive emotions that makes us feel happier.…
The Perfect Gift Challenge end wrap up ***Hi, awesome people of Read.cash***. I hope you all had a terrific weekend. Mine, although hectic, has been quite fun and like what weekends used to be in the first half of December before the pandemic. However, we must keep taking precautions and take care of ourselves. As promised, I have the results of the challenge. Once again, I thank you, everyone, for joining. Even after the deadline, the challenge entries kept coming in, and I…

Gaitas but not bagpipe Hello, awesome people of Read.cash. I send a message of solidarity to all of you who have been affected by the Odette typhoon. And if any of you want to help in any way those who were affected, please read this post by @bmjc98. I owe this post about Gaitas to my friend @JuanyChelme. Last weekend when I commented that I would be attending a Gaitas Festival, Juany thought I was referring to bagpipes. But no, Gaitas in Venezuela is a musical folk genre.…
A Read's Wee Christmas Story Hello, beautiful people of Read.cash. On this side of the world, for a few minutes more it is still the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century. And I was supposed to post this article earlier, but I have spent the day making Hallacas. As you may have already read around here, this is a traditional Venezuelan Christmas dish. They are like a kind of tamales stuffed with a stew that is wrapped in banana leaves. When I have them ready, I will…
Rambling on a Chooseday How are you beautiful people from Read.cash? I hope all of you that celebrate these days have had a Merry Christmas. And we are already counting down to the end of the year. A day full of Saudade These days I have been a bit disconnected, I wanted to make a pause in writing to enjoy the family, the provision of Christmas food that has been left from the Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day, and enjoy lying on the couch of some cheesy Christmas…
Cryptos as money alternative in hyperinflationary economies One of the criticisms that we usually read from economists who are against cryptocurrencies is that due to their high volatility they are not an alternative to fiat money when it comes to seeing them as a means of payment. And this statement may make some sense if we are talking about economies with stable currencies. But what happens in those economies where the legal tender currency loses value every day or, even…
