2021 ended. Nothing changes for me in BCH counter as of yet. I am going to practice a new option to turn some BCH to stablecoin and some to HODL. BUSD & TerraUST will take some of my BCH earnings from now onwards. So what are your plans with BCH in 2022? Hodl or stablecoin conversion? Happy New Year!

Gocrypto is a payment platform which is already on BCH SLP and Binance Smart Chain. Recently they moved their token on the smartBCH too.

Splinterlands has been pretty much grinding place lately with low rewards and also circling the low tier for me. I have to buy one summoner to change this. I also need a better strategy on fighting the low mana cards. So far it's been a struggle to do just that. I hope to change that part about the progress this year. How is your sunday going? :) #splinterlands
Pokket app has the support for the BCH and SmartBCH and you get the option in the wallet to use the hop.cash bridge. So all of the necessary feature into one wallet.

Dear Vitalik Buterin, define Irony, please. Ethereum is costly. It's not meant as a currency, nor a blockchain for average people who want to use blockchain for transferring small funds. Like I want to give 2 dollar to my maid, you think your chain is a solution for such use case? I call it a failure.
1 year. 3503 followers and 3 BCH in wallet. That's my progress in 1 year. I thought I didn't progressed much. Sometimes we are too harsh on our own selves because we compare with people at extreme top. I had like no followers, no BCH last year. And look at me now. Good people helped me around and in turn hard work does pay off. I am also thinking of going anime themed with Avatar from now as that would get spam and creeps out of content. I hope to pay deviantart anime…
Metamon, pretty cool looking creature game on Binance Smart Chain. It's a good game which is part of the upcoming metaverse named -USM. It's a good game with NFT, in game items and other marketplace items. Considering it's BSC based game, it's pretty good with the transaction fees. Also the upcoming metaverse would have this game as a free game. So keep an eye on this game. Check out the project: https://www.radiocaca.com/#/metamon

P0x is not a big earner but I think it can be good to earn those useless Ethereum tokens. It may require me to earn like 100 AMPL to even get some payout worth for transaction. Things are just too expensive in Ethereum world. How is your publish0x going on?
Millions of People quitting job since Pandemic. It seems like AI and the automation is slowly forced using the pandemic as an excuse. I won't be surprised if games and writing online are new jobs for many people these days. I am sure a lot of heavy jobs are going to be moving in near future to the bots & machines.

AirBNB is in process to accept the cryptocurrency in near future. So it seems like you are not locked with the forex issues when you travel the multiple nations and struggle with conversion and ATMs. This will help travelers the most. I wonder if they go with cheaper options like BCH and few others? Here's the tweet on this discussion: https://twitter.com/bchesky/status/1478553642357559296
Zebec, solana based project has managed to get support of VISA. It's one of the picked up project by the Visa and it'd be likely to be deployed in one of their use cases. In short solana seems to have got the edge over Ethereum and other blockchains on this point. I feel like having use case and getting more people to endorse you from practical standpoint is the way to go. Otherwise relying on fake celebs like Elon, Vitalik type publicity wont help long term.

Playing Stardew Valley before going to sleep. Its kind of calm type of the game you can play during the weekend or before going to sleep. Lockdowns and the corona routine is coming again now. So hoping to spend time discovering new blockchain games and the DeFi. Hopefully that gets my work from home time good enough with less stress. Stardew Valley is one such calm game and worth spending time over. I know it may feel childish to play games according to some but chasing…

Market is down. Token dividends are down. It's time to invest by buying those dividend tokens so that once the market goes back up, things would get back in order as well. My hive dividend tokens are down too. I hope to see them changed by the end of the April doing better. How is your progress going? Are you diversifying your token investment?
TANGOSWAP on smartBCH is slowly reaching more people through coinmarketcap. It's listed as 3849th Rank as of now. Which may feel a bit long way for token to go. But as more and more investors invest into the token, the better the ranking. I won't be surprised that the price 0.08 USD which is same as the TRON token right now would be 0.2 USD by the time 2022 year ends.
Betamars, upcoming blockchain game & land based NFT metaverse. Unfortunately it makes use of the Ethereum and pays in USDT for it's rewards and the marketplace transactions. I wonder what stops them from using Binanace or even Polygon if they want to use Ethereum chain. I hope they do make changes in near future for the same. Its too early to say anything about Betamars but it does have pretty good appeal for those who are into collectible of land NFTs. And also there seems…

FlexDAO, a place where you stake your FLEX and earn returns. You can invest for a low time period of as high as you want and the stake would lock the fund. I may consider trying the stake once my FLEX is enough or say worth staking. I wonder how many in the community are invested into FLEX?
2022 is starting with bunch of disappointments. Price of BCH is down, BTC is down every single day. And now even the layer 2 solutions on Ethereum are increased in the gas fees and it is affecting the performance as well. Polygon is sinking due to the increased transactions. It just means even the Layer 2 solutions aren't scalable as they claim. Reddit's Polygon subreddit seems to be getting the vibes of how the chain is performing poorly. Some are blaming sunflower farmer…

Paypal coin is in the process, so basically it would be one of the stablecoins for the crypto market. Considering we all know how paypal blocks accounts, freezes money and doesn't even return it to the affected party. I think stablecoin will be one giant "game of fortune".

When we can't think of the solution, we get into the loop of fear. And we don't understand how to come out of that. So the fear needs to be pushed in order to move ahead.

Stablecoins are pretty much important these days. Why? They help you in the times of dip. Like when the market goes down, they continue to be 1 USD worth of value while you hold. So you should always have them in portfolio. It feels like losing some leverage when the market is good but you have to set aside some of the stablecoins so that you can handle market dips as well. TerraUSD and BinanceUSD are two good options if FIAT withdrawal is your plan. If investing is your…

What if Bitcoin Cash and SmartBCH payments were possible to use through Telegram messages? Like say if you want to donate the coin to someone in the telegram group or someone who is doing good broadcast channel. You could do possibly with their payments API but the thing here is we are limited to using the fiat based options. What do you think? Do you think developers should make any such options for crypto payments specifically for BCH and SmartBCH ?
Meat shop in Argentina has started accepting the Bitcoin Cash. I am pretty sure the shops from Philippines, Singapore and other places would follow the trend too.

DeFi is still not ready for the world yet. It may serve limited numbers but DeFi is far from serving nations or multi nation money holding and transfer. The trust and the scams and exploits just don't stop. It's like you replace govt and banks with strangers who do the scams.

This applies to all chains, let's…

Proof of Stake is definitely the future. A lot of purists and maximalists argued, caused chaos in the market. But Energy issues are real and almost every country is trying to address this issue.

I personally am pushing for delegation and proof of stake based chains among people I know. I wonder how this changes in 2022 for those who hard…

Every random coin that comes into the market claims that it can go to the moon if you invest. In reality they just want your cashflow.
