WhatsApp outage, strange comments in Noise, and a coffee with my BCH

How are you, beautiful people of Read.cash?

This article will be another one in which I let my thoughts flow.

Yesterday was quite a weird day. The falls down of FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp were the topic of the day. Although it isn't my case, in Venezuela, for many people, the use of WhatsApp has become something vital.

Here, it isn't only used to communicate with friends and family. But also to do business. Lots of people sell products and services through this network. There are so many groups created for commercial purposes, a custom that took root here at a time when there was a huge shortage of basic products. And it is also used to make exchange currency transactions. Almost all the delivery services are handled by WhatsApp. So yesterday, it seemed in a certain way, the lives of many had stopped. And there wasn't anything else to talk about.

It's unbelievable how we have become dependent on social networks. And even more, how we have become so dependent on the cell phone. And regarding all this, in the morning I read an article that spoke of a syndrome called Nomophobia. Which is nothing more than the irrational fear of being without a mobile phone or a mobile device connected to the internet. All the days we learn something new, and today I learned about Nomophobia. No Mobile Phone Phobia.

And talking of something else. Yesterday, I had to take my son to an appointment that I had confirmed before the fall of WhatsApp. The appointment was in a building called Parque Cristal, known for its design like a crystal cube. I couldn't take a photo of the facade, but this is the view of the sky from the central courtyard of the building.

A latte taste better if you pay with BCH

And although these days, I don't want to spend my BCHs hoping that the price will go up from here to the end of the year. I also like to be part of the adoption. So if I have the chance to use them, I'll do it, even if It is with something small. And in my searches for places to use my BCHs, I remembered that in one of the cafes in the building we were visiting, they said to accept them.

Sociedad del Café, Caracas

So after the appointment, we went to check it out. And when they told us they accept Bitcoin Cash, we decided to stay and have a latte.

And since I wouldn't want to disappoint my friend @Kike9781, who says he always uses some of his BCH to buys sweets, we had to ask for a piece of chocolate cake with coffee cream to have with the latte.

The place also sells burgers, breakfasts, among other things. So it's a great find for when I would like to use my BCH to pay.

And there is no doubt that a latte tastes better if you can pay for it with Bitcoin Cash.

The wave of nonsensical comments at Noise

On other hand, my account in Noise keeps increasing in subscribers. And of course, I'm more than glad about this, but every day I receive much more weird comments in my posts. And I'm starting to miss the days when it was a pleasure to read all the comments on my posts and interact with other noisers. One of the weirdest comments of today is,

These flowers are older than our generations, but it's still there! Still beautiful as ever!

And I still wonder what she meant.

It seems that many of the new users of the platform are so willing to write anything. And besides that once again the plagiarism of content is becoming evident, even in the comments. Is it happening to you too?

Yeah we used WhatsApp for group updates before, however for business Viber is more used here. Hehe. Interesting to know that new thing. I was not aware people already have that now. Haha.

If not for someone in TG group I wouldn't even know that the big 3 were out. I rarely use any of them and don't even have insta. Latte paid for by BCH... hmm I'd love a sip of that. Hopefully soon.

As far as nonsense comments go, the one you mentioned made a lot of sense actually ;) I think they meant that the flower species have been here for many more generations than we have. Probably some translations don't work all that well from whatever language they translate.

I get many comments in languages I don't know. I used to say that I don't understand what they say, but it is so many now that I started to skip these.

It's the first time I heard about nomophobia. I think the person who has such phobia needs counseling. It's so nice to see bch adoption too. More payment options is convenient. It lessens the charges of converting into fiat currencies. About the weird comments in noise, I haven't experienced any as of now but those one word or one liner comments that don't make sense are becoming rampant. At least noise doesn't tolerate them once reported. The social app I was in before is far worse than that. People there are like sticker robots and beggars are rampant too.

I hadn't heard of Nomophobia either.

I think the problem these days in Noise is that many new users have arrived because of the referrals system, and a large number of them don't follow the rules and comment nonsense to gain followers.

Si que se ha vuelto el WhatsApp indispensable en nuestras vidas, por todo lo que comentas.

Es genial poder comprar directamente con los BCH, como lo hacemos con nuestra moneda de curso legal. Por aquí todavía no he visto ningún negocio que los acepten.

En Noise uno ve cada cosa. Hace días me conseguí con una publicación idéntica con la que había hecho el día anterior. Le hice un comentario al respecto y no respondió.

También he recibido respuestas a mis post fuera de lugar.

Starting with Whatsapp, I found out at night that all the networks were down, after my daughter called me, I asked her why she was calling so late and that was the answer, as you can see sometimes I forget I have a phone. That photo of the glass building is fabulous. I love that place where you can pay with BCH, here the technology has not yet arrived in that aspect. I tried to go back to Noise, I spent a week posting and it didn't give me anything, I feel like I'm wasting my time there.

You have to be patient with Noise, but it is worth trying. Post one or two time a days and try to comment and like other people's posts. The start may be slow. But if you manage to start, you will see that the result is worth it.

This coffee and cake are older than our generations, but it's still there! Still tasty as ever! hahaha But now seriously. First of all, That´s so cool to have a place where you can spend your BCH in your city! It´s great, this is an intelligent move to attract more people. About the Facebook outage, yep, it makes people show their worst face, the addiction to these kinds of platforms (I´m preparing a post about it BTW)

And then, well, the comments, it´s funny because it´s truly happening, many people comment on my posts with non-sense comments and I just think "thanks, but this is not cool"
