I was once a toxic person, full of insecurities, unproductive, and stagnant but read. cash, noise. cash and other blockchain-based social media changed me.

Facebook, IG, and Twitter are the most social media being utilized by the majority. The ambiance of those platforms made me more toxic. it's not healthy for me, glad I found it to read. cash last June 2020. I am already a 1-year user last month and I very glad I stayed. It's not just about the money I earned but it also helps me a lot in terms of knowledge and my total whole being.

I was a toxic person before...

Seeing the Success of other people makes me sick

Whenever I browse social media before especially Facebook, my insecurities and anxiety attack. I'll get insecure seeing my classmates way back having a stable job, being a bachelor's degree holder. Every time they post about their success stories, graduation photos in college I get sick. I will cry and felt useless because I wasn't able to finish my degree, I belittle myself and don't have any confidence at all.

Seeing others escapades or travel goals

When I am still single, I don't have the chance to explore and travel whenever I want because I always save money. I help my mother financially in providing for my sibling's needs. I am sicked doing it because I wasn't able to enjoy my life but I cannot refuse the responsibility bestowed on my shoulders as the eldest daughter.

Every time I saw my friends on Facebook posting their travel goals, I felt envious and sad and wish hope I can be like them free from responsibilities and have the freedom to enjoy.

Seeing some of friends getting married or having a nice wedding

I am in a long-term relationship but my boyfriend is not wealthy too, we are the same that has responsibilities for our family. We didn't even enjoy traveling together because we always save money for our family. We cannot settle down like others having a nice wedding because we still have unfinished business with our family.

As a woman, I also dreamed to have a nice proposal and a nice wedding. Whenever I see some friends getting married and have a nice wedding, I wish them a happy married life but deep inside I am envious and wish to be like them.

(Well, just this year I've got a unique proposal when my partner proposed to me during valentine's day. You can read the story if you like, The Proposal. So I don't have any insecurities about this thing anymore and I don't envy other couple who had a nice wedding, because I know I'll experience it too, as that is what I deserve lol Barcelona A love untold lines 😂)

I am an attention seeker, I always want my boyfriends time

Because I am a loner and there's only one person who stayed and understands me, I always crave for his attention, yes my boyfriend. I get annoyed whenever he doesn't reply quickly, I get mad if he goes out with his friends because I only like him to spend time with me.

I am envious whenever he hangs out with his friends because I don't have a circle of friends. I am nomadic, I went to different places so building a nice circle of friends is not easy resulting I don't have any circle and always demand time from my boyfriend.

I was just glad my boyfriend endured my toxicity way back and never give up on me. We always quarrel with each other because of my insecurities and immaturity.

Until last June 2020, I met Read .cash, which changes me totally

Until someone posted on Facebook that we can earn free BCH by simply writing. I am not good at writing but I like to write even before, so I give it a try and never thought I would love it very much.

I am always looking for an online extra income before so whenever somebody posted on Facebook I always like to grab the opportunity, even though most of the time I was scammed many times.

It's not that free BCH that lure me actually, it was the promotional post “Do you love writing? Then try read. cash, you can earn free BCH by writing and by engaging” because I don't know yet what is BCH before, I was lured by the thought that I can write whatever I want.

I always post rants on my Facebook before but usually, I ended up deleting or customize it to “only me” because people there are more toxic than me and judgemental.

When I started my read. cash journey, I already love it even though the earnings before were very little and the point system because it's not the earnings that made me stay but the benefits I got from using it.

How did it change me?

It made me an open-minded person

I was narrow-minded before because of the insecurities I have, but upon using read. cash I became open-minded by engaging with different people from different parts of the world. My mind was opened that there's more to life than my misery.

I gained knowledge from other people

Upon engaging and constantly asking knowledgeable users here, I gained knowledge about many things especially Bitcoin Cash and the whole cryptocurrency world. It got my interest to learn instead of overthinking every now and then.

I made virtual friends and family (Club1BCH)

Through constant engagement with other users, I never had a boring day using read. cash as I love to mingle with people who often discuss ideas than talking about other people. In real life I don't talk so much, it's because nobody can get my vibes in here as they keep talking to other people and it's not my cup of tea.

Especially the Club1BCH family, they are always there to support me, appreciate me and I am proud that I have them.

I don't want to mention anymore as there are a lot of them, I don't like spamming tags. But I know they know who they are.

Closing Thoughts

Using blockchain-based social media helps me a lot not just in terms of money (earnings) but I grow as a person as well. I've got to share what's on my mind with freedom without minding what other people will say because crypto people are open-minded and do not judge us by what they read.

I've got to overcome insecurities and overthinking as I don't have time to deal with it anymore because I am always busy learning and writing.

Blockchain social media are less toxic than famous social media such as FB, IG, and Twitter people there are pretentious and usually judgemental.

I never thought that one day I can find a place where I can say, I am not different and I belong. I find it in the Bitcoin Cash community, where there is no discrimination and everyone respects each other without minding our statuses in life! I'll be forever grateful for these experiences, one of the most beautiful experiences I ever had.

Thank you for reading!

P.S I think this has been on my drafts for almost a month 😂😆
