@Esmee in October 2021
September was kind of like slow for me. Few setbacks on hive and lost a lot over there. I hope to change that in this month and maybe just maybe I can keep diversifying efforts. So far I think this month would be tight in terms of time management. :)
We don't take risk and then we wonder how come those instagram people are happy. This is where the risk and reward equation comes into the play which you can observe.

Do you know many people realized late about life being short? Yeah when in 20s they think life can be like this forever but that's just not true. We age, we give up, we disappoint our own selves along with others and we move on. Don't take happiness or sadness of today for granted, life can change in seconds if you let it.

Spending lot of time on Leomarkettalk kind of made me critical to the venture funded blockchains. I am kind of skeptical of VC funded blockchains because they can become the same like what you are hating in the system right now. Most of the blockchains are VC funded funnels sucking up on the user funds. PRE being one such. e.g. check the below image. Not saying you should invest or not, just saying it's not decentralized or "for non-profit" as they are making it out to be.…

Ever since I diagnosed with hypertension with blood pressure and now blood sugar. I realized that more than money health matters. Its kind of odd equation.

Do you know you can pay your debt using the cryptocurrency? A lot of people advise you to HODL and wait for things. However instead of hodling, just convert your crypto into FIAT and then if you have debt or real estate need or anything you can then pay it off using crypto. You can use bitcoin cash (BCH) or ETH or BTC for this purpose. If you are using steem or HIVE or even TRX, you can convert those altcoins to the top performing coins and then convert to the local…

Tricky Question in Crypto: Power up Investment or Take out? Sometimes some crypto or any project require you to choose between - investing your time and money or you can take out your investment as it comes.

18th day of the month. I thought I should do some revisit to the wallet. Though I wanted to do one on 15th but I didn't get time due to all the routine that was kind of going on these days. My accumulation has slowed down last few days and so I have to get more focus on content across multiple platforms . How is your month going? :)
Things You Learn from Bitplaza : Litecoin vs Bitcoin Cash Match So we noticed that twitter bots and the people were favoring the litecoin despite knowing how good the BCH was in terms of performance. But where thigns were went wrong? So here's what I think we can do to promote Bitcoin cash differently. 1. Share articles on read.cash and noise.cash whenever you buy something using BCH. 2. Share articles on how you used BCH at shops or places to pay the bills. 3. Use BCH as…
I am trying to find out what causes the people to lose out on Motivation? Some of my observations based on the blogging, writing or creative work. 1. People start with an outcome in mind. 2. They don't get the outcome quickly where the churning involved. 3. They feel demotivated and move onto something else. 4. They find another thing for the motivation. 5. Go back to step 1 As you can see some of the time the shiny object syndrome kind of gets people. And other times they…
Self control is the thing that could save a lot of your life with the gravity of bad choices. More self control also means you are missing out on life. But there is always a trade off with what you do. So I have written an article on this topic. I hope that you would love reading about it. :) Check out the article: https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/how-to-improve-your-self https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/how-to-improve-your-self Image Credit:…
I thought about writing the DIY and recycle niche content for a change. I know I have been not able to write on off topic lately. And writing about crypto all the time is kind of stressful too. Are you into recycling? or reusing or DIY? then you will love this article :) https://hive.blog/hive-123046/@esmeesmith/how-to-reuse-glass-bottles https://ecency.com/hive-123046/@esmeesmith/how-to-reuse-glass-bottles Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/okvqMfl78YE
In past I have covered IDOs specific to the Binance chain and other chains. But I never thought BCH would be getting it's own IDO and the DEX under smartBCH too. So I am going to write an article for the BCHPad. I am off to do some reading so that I can write something simple for the newbies. Keep tab on me so that I can update you about it :)
On HIVE blockchain, I have invested into a token named : UTOPIS. That token pays out the weekly returns. Though they are not much high as of now. But better than nothing. I like the weekly nature of the return and also I try to build my HIVE stock using the same. Have you invested into any token that pays dividend be it monthly or weekly or yearly? :)
Habits make a lot of difference to our everyday life. Like you make some good habits you get to see the good changes in the long term. So make sure to have happy and healthy habits that supports your progress. I have written an article on how to do just that, do check out :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/5-habits-to-make-post https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/5-habits-to-make-post Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/rfoH17_F7F8
I like the passive returns that I get weekly. Apart from the UTOPIS token, you may find that there are few more tokens that could earn you some weekly returns. LBI also known as the LEO backed investment is another token that would be offering you some returns. I started them recently and getting some weekly drips based on my holding. So keep holding the coins that give returns, curate the content with votes on hive and so you get Progress I'd say :)
I have been promoting the smartBCH for some time now on Leofinance. I managed to write new article on the BCHPad and though I should share with you. Considering the project is in early stages I decided to focus the general idea of the IDO in BCH world for the newbies so that they can understand. Do check it out. https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/bchpad-decentralized-ido-on-smartbch https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/bchpad-decentralized-ido-on-smartbch
Here's the interesting problem that I have recently noticed while working on projects. When you work for someone else the same problem you work with some energy. When you use same project or problem for your own self, you tend to get lazy and procrastinate. Isn't it because of Job mentality? or is there any other deep thing with job vs business mindset trick? Why do we don't work on our own growth with same energy as if when we are working for someone else? Image Credit:…
Portion Control in Life Sometimes we stuff a lot of things in excess and then those things tend to take over our mind and body. And that can in return makes it harder to work as the problems pile up. The cause? Is lack of portion control. Food, Happiness, Sadness, Hard work. Everything has specific percentage to play in our life. Lack of the portion control of it in life would get us in the deep trouble. Think about life full of happiness but has no depression to give you…
Poverty has a pattern. And a certain amount of hoarding and the mindset chasing contributes to the same as well. I have realized that in order to grow rich it's always better to think of ditching few habits. I have written an article on this topic you may want to read :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/what-relation-does-poverty-has https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/what-relation-does-poverty-has Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/ULjKEIGR4ZQ
Each day I wake up I realize that I have to change one thing to bring more surprises. And living in routine would never help me do that. So I make sure to change the pattern. I have written an article on this mindset and how it works.

Today I want to compare the stablecoins - HBD and the Tether USDT. I have been trying to find out some of the common and not so common points among the same. It's been a while since I last wrote about the stablecoins. So going to be adding the content on leofinance soon. I'll update you on the article on 22nd morning :) Image Credit: koshelek.ru
How many of you have Splinterlands account? Do you play the game regularly? How much money have invested? I am trying to work on a journey blogs on this game so trying to find out answers before I can commit myself into the game. What about you? How is your progress? Do you write about splinterlands? Image credit: hive.blog
Living in past is problem of many people. We think what happened before to us will happen again. And so we have to make change to our mindset. Some of the time the mindset shift is something that is required for long term planning of our lifestyle. I have written an article on that perspective. https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/you-can-t-create-the https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/you-can-t-create-the image credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/spkXJXpBRAk
Selling virtual land plots on Mars? Yes. That seems to be theme of this NFT metaverse. So the Mars4 project has NFTs of such virtual lands. And it seems like this NFT craze is going out of hand. I don't know what to make of this type of the games or virtual land metaverse thing. Do you think this has any real world value? Check it out: https://www.mars4.me/
Milestone: 500 Views achieved on Read.cash I know it's not a big thing. But it seems like there are humans and bots scanning my content it seems. lol. So the investment of time put on the content is now paying off it seems. I know it's not really converted into big numbers in wallet as of yet. Let's give that some time. Like I said, compared to HIVE my efforts always pay off on BCH based sites. HIVE seems like slow and painful when I see my content getting ignored. While…
I told you about the Hive Dollars and Tether yesterday. So I wrote simple comparison article that compares the two stablecoin. I know it didn't get much of eyeballs on the Leofinance. Though I should share it here. I may have to start doubling on the read.cash instead I feel like. Hope you like the simple comparison article here. https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/hive-backed-dollars-hbd-vs-tether-usdt
There is a new play-to-earn game out there which has flappy bird like game interface and is called as the "Fancy Birds". So yeah another NFT game with earning option. I noticed it on twitter, I am sure it will be out soon. You can keep tab on twitter for update: https://twitter.com/Fancybirdsio
I see a lot of people posting with clickbaits. A lot of them make mistakes in their trading or crypto advice. A lot of them exaggerates. A lot many of them garner votes and support. But if you see a girl makes mistake or writes something that you disagree with suddenly army comes in to attack. I have experience of this plenty of times. I sometimes feel are we magnet to trouble or is this something wired against women like this? What's your experience? Image Credit:…
We often get busy with our life and we forget about living. And we think that we are doing what is necessary. But we have to take some time, pause and we have to focus on getting every minute worth of the life either enjoying or planning for fixing things.

I am still checking the Pub0x every now and then. Though the revenue over there has reduced. Like it's low and slow too. But yeah I like anything that gets me crypto so still spending few minutes there. My this months stats are as shown below. How about you?
8 days left for the Month end. 2021 must be the fastest moving year for me. I don't know how fast is going time and so does affecting my health. I have been so far slow with the BCH accumulation due to health reasons. Either way I have to work before BTC becomes stable and BCH price does not go down. More accumulation the better. How about you? How is your BCH performance this week? :)
Yesterday I had some of the health issues which could be related to the blood sugar levels I suppose. I have been having the feet feeling lose while walking late night. I kind of felt imbalanced many times while walking large distance. I feel completely healthy in the morning but as evening comes the blood sugar levels rise I suppose. If you are having hypertension and blood pressure, sugar level problem, please do take care of your health. Image Credit: verywellmind.com
Just noticed that cryptosorted now has the widget of changenow. I was just checking in if I can get rid of the ampleforth stock this way. Just checked the conversion rate, not bad either. If you are looking for the swap for your ampleforth or eth based coins then do check out that page. I may use this for converting various altcoins which I have yet to swap or exchange. https://cryptosorted.info/exchange/
What Whales in the system tell you to do in Crypto Investment? 1. "HODL forever, never cash out". -- BTC Whales 2. "50% Power up everyday" --- STEEM Whales 3. "Don't withdraw when market is good, save for future" --- Generic Crypto Whale 4. "You're breaking rules or curating wrong, You're vote farming I am not" -- HIVE whale 5. "I invested in XYZ token on smartBCH so you should too" -- BCH Whale 6. "DOGEcoin to the moon, don't want to go to moon?" -- Dogecoin minion whales…
Another smartBCH token bites the dust. So what have you learned from this? 1. Not to invest into the project without any footprint on web. 2. Not to invest into the coins which literally have no genuine content even in offer. 3. Not to invest into the coins which has no social media presence. 4. Tokens are risky. Only play with those if you can tolerate the rug pull. 5. Watch who is preaching the token or coin and why, what's the motive etc. Rug pulls have predictable signs.…
We reach the goals. We feel happy about it. And then another goal comes up. It feels like video game enemies but except it's a new goal. You would find that new goals and the journey continues and it is not like we are stopping. So on this perspective I decided to write the article and maybe you may want to read my perspective. :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/reaching-goal-is-not-the https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/reaching-goal-is-not-the Image…
New NFT game is out. This one is called as cryptosnake. I have yet to check out the gameplay. I am not sure how cheap or expensive are the NFTs in the game. But it looks like a lot of press release are out there for this new guy. So I thought I should share this with you all :) https://cryptosnake.game/
I seem to be finding new NFT games a lot today. I found one more interesting game for those who are into the magic and like working on the NFT game that has magic items. So the Wizardium is one of such game which I found on twitter, and you may want to check out further if you are interested. :) https://twitter.com/wizardium_
WAX blockchain has allowed many games to thrive on it's blockchain. So while searching for some of the WAX based games and the NFTs. I came across upcoming new blockchain game named "Beast Garden". It's going to be out soon. Though not sure about the process for gameplay and the NFTs, but maybe if you keep tab on their twitter that would give you idea. https://twitter.com/beastgardenwax?lang=en As for game check it out the official site: https://beastgarden.io/index.html
Why I don't trust the tokens easily? It's because events like this make me invest only in top coins and not the small tokens. I know I am missing a lot on small cycles of cash but yeah we do what we can with what we have. I just can't take risks with coins and tokens like this. I'll stick with the big performers and the coins which I can see doing something.
I got the notification of the tasks to check the quality posts on Noise.cash. I am sure most of you will be getting that too. A lot of posts were poor quality and they seem to be getting the check. Like a lot of people copying images off google and adding name of "god" to put up on post. You put the slider towards bad if you meet posts which have poor quality. Looks like a good initiative just make sure that you do the tasks with honesty. There are 41 post checks to be made…
Have you noticed this update? Old but I kind of ignored this update but it gives you a good insight on how your hearts are working per day and per week. Not that we should care about it considering focus should be building your reach instead of that. I like that part because I tend to find compared to HIVE my reach on the BCH community is lot better. I thank this community for that :)
A lot of times in our life we feel kind of lost. And we have no end in sight. That could lead to more or less issues navigating the life. It's not easy and it gets harder as we go ahead in our life. So I thought I should be writing an article to put up my views, maybe you may like it :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/what-to-do-when-you https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/what-to-do-when-you Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/KvCgX6D1opw
I have been writing pretty regularly on the HIVE. Though returns are low but the consistency often gets to show you how much efforts you have put up in the system. So I was checking the HIVEBuzz badges and found out weekly and monthly author badge. I got it multiple times. So my consistency has been good. Now I want to do that for read.cash too. Are you consistent with your writing? Do you write in advance?
I never thought before the years end we could be seeing NFTs from other blockchains. But there are many of them already and doing good. Like BCH has juungle, waifu etc. Solana too has got into this and there will be other blockchains following suit. You can check out the art based NFTs on Solana here: https://solanart.io/ Have you tried NFTs outside Ethereum and BCH? What's your experience?
I wanted to check out some of the DeFi projects on the Binance smart chain. And came across Planet Finance. I have not much experience with it as I just found out about it. It has low fees which is obvious considering it's BEP20 based presence. From what I have heard those who are into the LP and staking seem to like their AQUA tokens and the system for rewards. Check out the site here: https://planetfinance.io/
I managed to take my HP to 200+. I know it's a lot of work to do anything on hive. I am going to be sticking with "Proof of Brain" and "Leofinance" for time being. I think if I continue to power up on regular basis that could help with the HP which I plan on delegating to others. So a good milestone which I will document on 1st Nov too. :)
I created a joke on crypto. Friend: I won free NFT all I need is just claim it and just pay the transaction fees. Me: Which blockchain's NFT was it? Friend: Ethereum Me : 😑
Just checked out some of the farms on Museliswap. And noticed pretty good return for LP investment. If I had spare coins to throw into the liquidity power I could have done it. But for now let the other whales and dolphins do the work. Have you put on your LP investment into BCH DeFi as of yet? :)
How to Avoid Rug Pulls in Crypto? Rug pulls are pretty common. They are increasing a lot lately especially with those rogue tokens being released every now and then. You need to be careful when it comes to investing into the tokens or any coin project. I recently posted about rug pulls on Leofinance. I thought I should share with you here :) https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/how-to-avoid-rug-pulls-in-crypto…
I always prefer investing into the tokens that gives something passive weekly. So I invested into UTOPIS and EDS recently. And both of them have started paying out weekly dividend in HIVE. So that's a good progress for me this week. I have yet to add some funds in other similar tokens like this that gives out HIVE. How about you? Are you investing into passive tokens?
Polkadot meets Pokemon Rip-off and you get the PolkaPets. Basically most of the Pokemon designs are copied and converted in such way that they are attractive and people would go for. It's one NFT based collection of Pets you can get on Polkadot blockchain. I wonder where is original Pokemon? I am sure they can make millions with official art and the NFT :) You can check out the official Polkadot Pet world here: https://www.polkapet.world (Image credit: PolkaPet)
Why You Should have system instead of Goals? Life with Goals: There's one interesting thing I learned about value of time. I spent most of my job earnings for parents and not much spent on myself. Today I got my TV that I got from the BCH spending. When I got it I realized that I was so much stuck in trying to live on less, when I got myself something new I just had the feeling that I was not using my power. Life with System: Then I started changing my approach from goals to…
I have had my progress pretty slow up until. Like I am in 30s and yet to be financially strong or have my own family. Which I won't blame on luck but my own systems going wrong too. Many among us dont take the responsibility for their slow and imperfect life. It can be good too. So I wrote an article on the same topic. :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/slow-and-imperfect-progress-is https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/slow-and-imperfect-progress-is Image…
4 Days left for the month of October to end. Nov 2021 is closer. My stats on blockchain so far. HIVE Power: 207 Leo Power: 114 BCH : 0.29 It seems I could not hit the 3 BCH target considering the amount of BCH has been reduced a lot now. HIVE also wont be able to make it to the 500 by the december as I get very less days till 31st dec. Leo power may or may not hit 200 in next few weeks or month. Not much progress on Ethereum token either. What's left before 2021 ends? 1. I…
We often get to the place where we are because of our current actions. Like we are here because of yesterdays actions and in near future we are going to be in where based on how we do things today. I have written an article on the same topic. https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/you-got-here-because-of https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/you-got-here-because-of Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/vQw6F1gLnd0
I got another NFT game from the twitter. Today I found out about the Moo monster. Yeah that sounds childish but yeah it is what it is. The monster NFT game with MOO name. The game is free to play with obvious paid upgrades in the NFT items. I have yet to try the game but thought I should share for those who are in search of new NFT games. :) Check their twitter account: https://twitter.com/MooMonsterNFT Image Credit: https://moo-monster.com/
It's my goal before the December to go through some of the code side of the blockchain. So I was in search of good tutorial courses which are both theory and some hands-on. I found freecodecamp as a good resource to start with. I am going through their content few minutes per day. Hopefully by the end of Dec 2021, I have enough knowledge in smart contracts and chains to work with :) You can check out the freecodecamp course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M576WGiDBdQ
Market is showing RED for your favorite coins? Yeah that's why you should promote your coin as utility coin and everyday usage coin this way the up and down of the market wont matter much to you. What you could do as a content writer who earns out of BCH or any crypto for that matter? When your coin is in RED you have to keep on accumulating the coins. You accumulate more coins when the market is down :) What is your approach in such times? Image Credit: rnz.co.nz/
Yesterday I checked out https://joystick.club/ It has total 3 three games at this stage. I assume they are going to add more soon. And you have to add some cash into the site in order to play those games. Here are some of the following games: 1. Block Breaker 2. Colin Candlesticks 3. Number Go Up Remember arcade days where you used to add token before playing them? It follows that sort of the pattern in this site too. Which is fun and also worth checking out. I have yet to…
A lot of people among us have less attachment and so having the less attachment means that a lot of our plans are not going to be affected by others being involved in them.

Early morning I got this call from friend regarding the MLM (network marketing). "You know my uncles sister in law has a car, row house and she travels the world. This program really works." So basically these people want me to bring in 2 more victims into the system and sell them expensive products of this MLM brand. And keep on selling in order to make my money out of the system. I have so far done background check on Facebook for all the people who called me regarding…
I recently talked about Polkapets here. And also covered the Polkapets article on Leofinance. I noticed that though it's purely clone of many other similar games, only upside seems to be low fee Polkadot chain. So apart from that I have covered few other things in the article. You may want to read it :) https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/polkapets-polkadot-based-nft-game https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/polkapets-polkadot-based-nft-game Image Credit:…
I found out about another NFT game named - "Don't Play with Kitty". Here the game is basically play to earn but requires you to buy one kitty before you can get into the game. So basically it's like gatekeeping to avoid the rush in the game and genuine people playing it. But I am not sure about the game as it does not have much noise in the NFT community. I mean not a lot of NFT bloggers are talking about it. So just trying to find out if it is worth it. Anyone have clue…
3 BCH Goal So how long would it take for me to reach 3 BCH goal? Currently my wallet says 1.91 BCH. So by the end of this month I may likely to hit 2 BCH. And it would take another month to earn 0.25BCH out of HIVE and other sites combined. So that would take 2.4 BCH at the most. But reaching 3 BCH before January 2022 seems impossible as of now unless some magic happens. Oh well, I am just going to compare my last year with today. I had literally 0 BCH and 0 experience, and…
Sometimes you have to learn to stop and find out why you're doing what you're doing. I recently hit one milestone for buying a TV using the BCH amount earned. Now that I have earned that my next goal or you can say big goal is buying land or ready-house away from city. I want to earn crypto that can fund this impossible dream. It's hard each day seeing the market and the crypto price. So I decided to stop, take pause and breathe before I can work on my next few goals. It…
Sometimes we don't know if we are having a good time. Like we just don't know what to do differently to make our day different. Each day we try to do something different and often that does not work out. So it's better to experiment. I have written an article on the same topic. You can check it out :) https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/being-concisous-of-what-is https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@esmeesmith/being-concisous-of-what-is Image Credit:…
Let's talk about usecase of Bitcoin Cash. I recently managed to hit the milestone of buying something (TV to be precise) using Bitcoin Cash. I thought I should document it. I decided to write an article on readcash so that the community can check it out. I had to convert noise, read and hive earnings to BCH in order to reach the goal. You may want to check out the article if interested :) https://read.cash/@esmeesmith/bitcoin-cash-use-case-how-to-buy-tv-using-bch-9a4f7ecf
Crypto currencies has given birth to many platforms which are meant for the currency swap and the exchange for various actions. So the DEX and the SWAP are two types of platforms I decided to compare. I have written an article on the same topic.

I was checking few farming NFT games. I came across a game called "Wanaka Farm". So far it is in beta as of now but it's early and you may join eventually if you keep tab on the progress. Not a lot of things known as of now. But it seems like it's Ethereum Based. Maybe more things will be revealed next month onwards. :) https://wanakafarm.com/ Image Credit: https://twitter.com/Wanaka_Farm
Nobody plans for the worst case scenarios. But we often end up in the worst case scenario. Most of the time you can see that having such plans and executing on them is good but life is full of surprises. What you plan today may or may not happen the same way. So you have to be extra careful with what you do in your life, instead of just dreaming or setting goals :) Image Credit: wellbeingmagazine.com
Sad to see LTC at the place of 18th and BCH at the place of 21. Like really? I mean I got better financially due to BCH whereas LTC, SHIBINU, DOGE did nothing for many of us in terms of HODL cost. But yeah this is the reality, fad gets strong and gets better number. I mean I don't mind BCH losing to strong like Polkadot or Matic etc but losing to LTC, SHIBINU and DOGE? That is really sad. I wonder what we as a content creator can do for BCH? any ideas? :) Image Credit:…
Metaverse games are becoming new fad. I was checking out some new games in the twitter tag. And noticed the Osiris metaverse game is the new that I have noticed. They also have the opensea game is out there with the collection. I have not bought or joined the game as of now, just checking out. If you are into NFT based game then maybe you can check out the collection. :) https://www.osirismetaverse.com/ Image Credit: https://twitter.com/OsirisMetaverse
It worked for me. How come it didn't worked out for you? Fallacy. A lot of times people will be telling you about things that worked out for them and their logic is that it should work for all. But it doesn't happen and they try to put the blame on you. I have experienced this a lot. I wonder how many of you have experienced the same phenomenon. It can be pretty upsetting and off-putting to see how people expect same things work for all. What is your experience? Image…
Sunday was pretty good. Though it's night already. I decided to capture the rainbow on time. Halloween is on right now and the kids are out on the street in some places here. Some are not out due to covid related guidelines. So the fall is now officially gone and Winter is coming.
