Bitcoin is a Scam Happy day dear Read.cash Community, I hope you are all well, below I will detail why Bitcoin is a Scam. Cryptocurrencies are a scam, they are speculation, as they are speculation then they are scam. First we have to understand **what speculation is**, according to the **Billin glossary** it is a group of financial operations whose purpose is to generate a profit, i.e. to buy at low prices and sell at high prices. **Swindle**: according to **Wikipedia**, it is a fraud, a crime against property or patrimony. To know how speculation works we have to know what is the market where cryptocurrencies are traded. https://www.elcorreo.com/economia/tu-economia/criptomonedas-nuevo-filon-estafadores-hackers-20210305185320-nt.html?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F **What is the market?** The market is a place where we exchange goods and services, we put a value to what we offer, someone enters the market and an agreement is reached to perform an operation. In the stock market for example we have selling boards and buying boards, someone puts a value to an asset, let's say I sell at $10, but the buyer says I buy at $9.80, the seller reaches an agreement and lowers the price and the transaction takes place, this happens the other way around too, the seller tells you this is my price until someone comes to buy at that price, the points are equated and the transaction takes place. **What it has to do with cryptocurrencies?**, we must understand that the value of cryptocurrencies is given by the market, if someone is selling and someone else is buying, it is because they have value. Cryptocurrencies have value or the market gives them value, let's talk about **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** which has today (11/17/21) **$11,220,531,982** marketcap, ie all the tokens add up to 11 billion, its volume yesterday was **$1,665,351,793. 94**, that is, more than 1 billion $ are moved daily, there may be a group of scammers and speculators who are exchanging the token because they want to, or it has a real value for the industry that makes people want to have it, this happens with all cryptocurrencies and not only scammers buy, this happens in any market, in all markets there is speculation. https://coinmarketcap.com/es/currencies/bitcoin-cash/ **BREAKING THE MYTH** Bitcoin itself is not a scam, what is produced are businesses, pyramid schemes that surround Bitcoin and use it as a means of payment, how many people have been scammed in this way, companies offering extremely high investment returns with Bitcoin, but the scammers were behind these businesses that used bitcoin as a means of payment. The Bitcoin system is not a scam, it is used by all this that is generated around the market as a means of payment, people who enter without knowing it, who do not understand anything about bitcoin, invest, they are scammed, these companies stole the money, these people have a negative emotional experience, they left the ecosystem, they are the ones who speak badly so they say it is a scam, much study is needed first. There is another form of greater scam using fake accounts of content creators in different social networks, for example on Youtube they create a channel with the photo and names of the content creators leaving comments with whatsapp numbers, so that people contact them and supposedly help them to invest and there they fall into the trap. Unfortunately, there are many people in need and get carried away, education first and Bitcoin is used as a means of payment to scam. Screenshot edited by me Not to mention the money laundering criminals from banks in tax havens, seeing the attitude of the people behind this, a big question why these people are behind the Bitcoin technology, **what is going on in these minds?.** They do it because of the good features that Bitcoin has to use it: Decentralization, Low commission, More privacy level, it is obvious that criminals are the most interested in looking for alternative transactions, but this is not an excuse, criminals use it for their purposes, but Bitcoin has helped a great part of humanity.

Cream or Peanut Butter Happy day Read.cash Community, I hope you are all well, following with the promotion of **#SweetWeek** of **@ArteFM**, my article today is about Peanut Butter or Peanut Cream. According to my criteria the term Peanut Butter is misused, due to the fact that butter is obtained from milk, so from now on I will call it Peanut Cream. If you have read my previous articles, first I do a little research about the history of the gastronomic preparations I have made at home. https://cacahuatesusa-mx.com/cultivo-y-cosecha The peanut is an oilseed from South America, where it was consumed preparing a chicha, about 5000 years ago it arrived in Mexico, where the natives prepared a cream by crushing its seeds, this paste was offered mainly to the gods. The most recent history of peanut cream, very different from the one prepared by the Incas and Aztecs, is from the end of the 19th century that began its commercialization, which had a great demand after the civil war. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** It is not really clear which was the beginning of the Crema de Mani, **Eleanor Rosakranse** (historian), says that **Rose Davis** (New York), in the 1840's started its preparation, because her eldest son informed her that he saw women in Cuba crushing peanut seeds into paste and spreading it on bread. Others affirm that it was **Marcellus Gilmore Edson**, Canadian chemist who was granted the first patent in the USA, calling it "**Penaut Candy**", there is no evidence that he commercialized the product, the product was described from roasted peanuts passing it through a mill to obtain a product with a consistency similar to lard. A St. Louis businessman by the name of **George Bayle** was marketing peanut butter. In the 1920's he claimed to be the original factory. The National Peanut Board says that **Dr. John Kellogg** received a patent in 1896 for a technique to produce peanut butter. Dr. Kellogg promoted the consumption of peanut butter, which he also prescribed to his patients who needed to consume protein because they did not eat meat due to lack of teeth. John Lambert, who worked for Dr. Kellogg, opened a company to manufacture machinery for industrial peanut processing. In 1903, **Ambrose Straub** obtained a patent for developing a peanut butter manufacturing company. In 1904, peanut butter was introduced as an industrialized product at the St. Louis World's Fair, using a machine manufactured by Ambrose Straub. Today we have many brands of peanut butter, but the most famous are **Skippy** and **Jif**. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meHZIXhNwQY **How to make Peanut Cream at Home** A few years ago I was investigating how to make peanut butter for commercialization, **the first challenge was how to roast and shell the peanuts**, I was preparing about 10 kg of peanut cream. Many people told me that you have to mix it with sand and put it on the fire in a big pan, then shelling it by hand, this took me to google, I found a video making a shelling machine with a bicycle, I made mine a little rustic but functional, when I can buy peanuts I make an article showing what is the process of shelling and roasting, I also learned how to roast it in the oven. **Now comes the challenge of how to make the cream?** It was complicated because what appeared in google were Colloidal Machines for the preparation, I always told myself there must be another way, finally I got a video preparing it in a blender. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6gBV5FT-GA My first preparation was in a blender, but I don't recommend it because it overheats a lot and wears out the carbons of the motor, besides it can burn it, if there is no other option you should add very little roasted peanuts. Then I used a small chopper, but I damaged it, I needed something more powerful, so I bought a bigger processor, which is the one I use nowadays. **TELL ME HOW TO PREPARE THE CREAM, ENOUGH OF SO MUCH WORD** ....... A little patience please, I have to do it without haste. **UTENSILS** Food Processor or Chop everything, otherwise Blender. **INGREDIENTS** Roasted Peanuts Sugar to taste Salt to taste Vegetable oil (optional) Variants Chocolate Cream Almond cream **PREPARATION** Normally I only use salt, but I had clients who liked it with sugar, in some occasions I added oil because the peanuts did not have enough fat, but the amount of oil is very small, for 1 Kg of roasted peanuts I used 1 teaspoon of oil if necessary. Add the roasted peanuts in the processor, add salt, sugar and grind the peanuts, at the beginning it will create a mass, which will form a cream, you can leave some chopped peanuts to the mixture, or let the cream alone. https://cryscocina.com/2016/02/19/mantequilla-de-cacahuate-casera/ The peanut cream is ready to eat, you can use the variants to mix the creams, they are delicious. These are some of the presentations marketed, roasted peanuts with shell, without shell, Peanut Cream (200 g), Peanut Cream with Chocolate Ganache (200 g). **If you would like to participate in #SweetWeek.** The rules are simple Have fun Participate whenever you want Post #SweetWeek Tag @ArteFM All content is original The information obtained from the Web is indicated The photos were taken by me Thanks for visiting me, you can leave a comment and remember to Like and Follow me.

Quesillo and Coffee or Coffee Quesillo? Continuing with the challenge of **@ArteFM**, I will write this time about the Quesillo de Café, who doesn't like Quesillo, it's been a long time since we made it, it is extremely simple to make, unfortunately a good part of my images have disappeared, so I will help myself with the images I get on the web along with the recipe we have always used to make it. https://www.mamacontemporanea.com/receta-de-quesillo-venezolano-tradicional/ **As always a little history for our popular Quesillo.** It is difficult to know exactly where the Quesillo originated for the first time, it is assumed that it was the immigrants from the Canary Islands, who prepared the Egg Flan, this was a very popular dessert in Europe, its name comes from the German word "Flado" which means flat cake, The Romans used to sprinkle pepper on it, with the passing of time they began to use sugar in the form of caramel. There is a difference between Flan and Quesillo, which is the use of egg yolks in Flan, while in Quesillo the whole egg is used. Quesillo is such a popular dessert in Venezuela that it is difficult to find a house without a quesillera, it can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or even a cookie container. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fhttp2.mlstatic.com%2FD_NQ_NP_615251-MLV44794166124_022021-O.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Farticulo.mercadolibre.com.ve%2FMLV-569496662-quesillera-de-aluminio-165-cm-x-9-cm-molde-para-quesillo-m1-_JM&tbnid=pRqSlxdIYhRD0M&vet=12ahUKEwjDiYOJ75P0AhVEBd8KHcqIDzEQMygIegUIARDCAQ..i&docid=GjyWoJQZUUZIwM&w=500&h=277&itg=1&q=quesillera%20de%20aluminio&ved=2ahUKEwjDiYOJ75P0AhVEBd8KHcqIDzEQMygIegUIARDCAQ#imgrc=pRqSlxdIYhRD0M&imgdii=aQuEZIbM_TSXlM It is said that its preparation dates back to the beginning of World War I, when several products with which different sweets were prepared became scarce. Its name probably comes from the similarity it has with the llanero cheese, due to the amount of holes it has, being Venezuela the only place where it is known as Quesillo. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **How to make Quesillo?** There is no single recipe on how to prepare it, it is generally made by tradition or by the recipes of our parents and grandparents. There are those who use eggs, milk, sugar, corn starch, condensed milk, in short there are many variants, as for the quantities, it also varies a lot. In the first recipes condensed milk was not used and in order to make it with many holes, it is essential to beat the quesillo by hand. Nowadays, besides using condensed milk, the blender is also used, but the consistency of the quesillo is still firm. For a long time, quesillos have been given a different flavor, using fruits such as: coconut, strawberries, guava, orange, lemon, pineapple, as well as other ingredients such as chocolate, vanilla, rum, coffee, among others. **PREPARATION OF COFFEE QUESILLO** **Ingredients:** 1 can of condensed milk 1 can of strong coffee (the amount corresponds to the measure of the can of condensed milk) 6 eggs 6 tablespoons of sugar (for the caramel) **Procedure:** Pour the 6 tablespoons of sugar in a quesillera or mold of approximately 18 cm in diameter. Put it over low heat and let the sugar melt until it takes the color of caramel, using kitchen gloves, take the mold and turn it around while the sugar melts, being very careful not to burn yourself, when the sugar melts, turn off the stove. Then you go around and spread it all over the bottom, it will harden, let it cool completely. https://www.cocinadelirante.com/tips/tips-para-hacer-caramelo Now we are going to prepare the Bain Marie, we take a larger pot with water, we take our quesillera or mold and we sink it to the bottom of the pot, the water should reach half of our mold. We proceed to use the blender, add the condensed milk and the strong coffee (it has to be very strong coffee so that it leaves its flavor in the quesillo), then add the eggs one by one, we must blend it very well until it is completely mixed. Then pour it into the mold where we have the caramel. We introduce our mixture in the Bain Marie, we turn on the stove and cover, from the moment the water starts to boil we will calculate 1 hour for the quesillo to be ready, every so often we check that it does not run out of water, we will add more water if necessary. When it is ready, turn off the stove, remove the lid and let it cool completely, now run a knife along the walls of the mold because it may have stuck somewhere, shake the mold a little to verify that it is unstuck and then put a slightly deep dish on top of the mold and turn it over very quickly to unmold it. Enjoy our delicious Coffee Cheese....

Chocolate Sweet Passion Recently **@ArteFM** gave me a challenge, to write **#SweetWeek** I was thinking what to do, so let's go with the filled chocolates, someone will probably say, wow you are in everything, you don't know what to do.... Well, yes, in this search of how to improve my income I have dedicated time to many things, among bakery, confectionery, sweets, carpentry, blacksmithing, painting.... The list is long. In this opportunity we are going to go step by step on how to make filled chocolate bonbons at home, but first a little bit of history. https://www.thegourmetjournal.com/noticias/el-origen-del-cacao/ There are several Latin American countries that claim the beginning of cocoa production, of course I defend the belief that it was in Venezuela, but this is not the subject. Cacao comes from the temperate zones of America, a fruit consumed by the aborigines whose sweet pulp and bitter kernel was not consumed. This seed was also used as a currency of exchange. As time went by, a drink was prepared to perform magic rituals, which was only for consumption by the elites. The poor were forbidden to consume it. The Spanish explorers did not like the bitter taste, so they sweetened it with honey and this drink was taken to Spain, which allowed it to be distributed to other countries. The Spanish crown maintained the monopoly of Chocolate, it was only for the Court, besides being a drink for adults. The secret of the elaboration of chocolate was kept secret by the monks for decades. http://retratosdelahistoria.blogspot.com/2012/03/el-chocolate-de-madrid-paris.html By the twentieth century, chocolate was prepared in many ways and became a delicacy. Between 1910 and 1920, the first filled chocolates (bonbons) were made. By this time, chocolate is treated as an art made by master chocolatiers with recognition in haute cuisine. https://www.trendencias.com/lujo/los-conceptuales-huevos-de-pascua-de-oriol-balaguer All this secret of the elaboration of chocolate bonbons was a great mystery, but it is really very simple to make, as we will see below. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** First of all using couverture chocolate, because it is very easy to get it in the store, of course it is not the best chocolate, I prefer the bitter chocolate 70% (70% pure chocolate) and coming directly from the factory. **Utensils to be used:** Kitchen thermometer, which can measure temperatures between 20º and 60 ºC. If you don't have a thermometer you will have to make an approximate calculation, don't worry it will be fine. Spatula Bain-marie pot Chocolate molds **Ingredients:** Chocolate frosting (Bitter, Milk or White). Filling: Almonds, chocolate ganache, jam, peanut butter or whatever you want. The first thing to do is to chop the chocolate and melt it in a Bain Marie, with very low heat, if you don't have a thermometer, keep checking until it is completely dissolved, it should not exceed 58 ºC degrees because it would burn. Other ways to melt it is to put it in the sun, if you have a hair dryer you can use it to increase the temperature and move it with the spatula. **Tempering** It is to raise the temperature to melt it, then lower the temperature and raise the temperature again, this is done to give a better shine to the chocolate. Depending on the type of chocolate to be used, temperatures vary. **Dark chocolate or Bitter**: Melted between 50º to 55ºC degrees, Lower temperature between 28º to 29ºC and Tempered between 30º to 31ºC. **Milk Chocolate**: Melted between 40º-45ºC degrees, Lower temperature between 27º-28ºC and Tempering between 29º-30ºC. **White Chocolate**: Melted between 30º-35ºC. Lower temperature between 26º-27ºC. and tempering between 28º-29ºC. http://confiteriaychocolatesdulzura.blogspot.com/2018/03/disfruta-haciendo-unos-ricos-bombones.html Then on a countertop, it can be made of cement or formica (preferably marble), it is moved with a spatula to lower the temperature to 28ºC and the temperature is raised again to 30ºC. Then you fill the molds, hit the counter to remove the air, let it rest for a minute, and empty the mold so that there is a chocolate film. https://www.flavorcook.com/a-los-ricos-bombones-de-chocolate/ Then you fill it with whatever you like, it can be almonds, arequipe, dulce de leche, chocolate ganache, jam, you should not fill it completely, you must leave a space to cover it again with chocolate. Let it rest until it hardens, unmold it and that's it. https://www.flavorcook.com/a-los-ricos-bombones-de-chocolate/ **Let's eat Bonbons** **If you want to participate you can visit the following link**: https://read.cash/@ArteFM/traditional-venezuelan-sweets-f552297f Tag @ArteFM Post #SweetWeek All content is original The information obtained from the Web is indicated Thanks for visiting me, you can leave a comment and remember to Like and Follow me. **REFERENCES:** **Photo Portada**: https://www.flavorcook.com/a-los-ricos-bombones-de-chocolate/ https://www.clubdelchocolate.com/content/70-cacao-en-la-america-precolombina https://www.clubdelchocolate.com/content/71-los-exploradores https://www.clubdelchocolate.com/content/73-la-llegada-del-chocolate-a-europa https://www.clubdelchocolate.com/content/74-chocolate-hoy https://www.marialunarillos.com/blog/como-atemperar-chocolate.html https://www.marialunarillos.com/blog/como-hacer-bombones-rellenos.html

Crypto World. YIELD FARMING. What is it? Happy day Community, I hope you are having a great time, so far I have brought you some articles on basic information about Blockchain, Bitcoin, Ether, among others, I hope you liked them, today we are going to talk about Yield Farming, I must clarify that I am not an expert, I am studying, as I find an interesting topic, I bring it for the knowledge of all. https://primexbt.com/for-traders/yield-farming-crypto/ If you want to generate passive income, then this topic will be to your liking. **Yield Farming or Liquidity Mining**, is a strategy through which you try to obtain profitability by storing cryptocurrencies. In Yield Farming we have: **Liquidity Providers**: in exchange for their funds they will have rewards. **Liquidity Reservers**: they make smart contracts in charge of validating the accumulation of funds. To do these processes, we leverage Defi platforms (decentralized finance). Most people who participate in Yield Farming make Stakins from stable cryptocurrencies, example: If you saw my previous articles, you will know that USDC and USDT are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the US dollar, they are stable cryptocurrencies, however you can also bet with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, among others. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **Pros and Cons of Yield Farming** **ADVANTAGES** Can be used with different targets, there are several DeFi Yield Farming protocols with several years of proven performance and robustness, however, you have to do your own research. It is only necessary to make a deposit with a certain amount of cryptocurrencies within the DeFi protocol, to obtain some profit, which will be proportional to the investment made depending on the time it remains on deposit. It allows Farmers to obtain benefits with their harvests, occurring in periods between 6 months to 1 year. With reinvestment to generate higher profit levels working with compound interest. **DISADVANTAGES** It is a **complex strategy** recommended for people with advanced financial knowledge, it is better to study well before investing. The practice of the strategy favors those who have large amounts of capital known as whales. A person with medium capital is able to receive capital but not as much as whales, but a person with low capital should pay close attention because his money can be spent only on commissions. **The security of smartcontracts**, if the platform has not been properly audited there is a risk of theft of funds and partial or total loss of funds. A **big risk is smartcontracts**, due to DeFi, many protocols are created and developed by small teams with limited budgets, this increases the risk of smart contract errors, a recent analysis showed that people who have the largest amounts of cryptocurrencies to use (whales) are the most likely to benefit from Yield Farming. **For example:** A Whale places 97 million dollars in a protocol and earns 800 thousand dollars in 3 weeks. Another Whale places 40 million dollars and earns 500 thousand dollars in the same period of time. This does not mean that people cannot have good results by investing less, however they should be aware that the big profit results are for people who have huge amounts of cryptocurrencies. **IMPERMANEN LOSS** (Another risk to be aware of). For example, this is when someone wants to add liquidity, let's say: Someone owns 10 ETH, wishes to add liquidity to a pool with the ETH/USDT pair, in a 50/50 ratio. He must deposit 10 ETH and 10,000 USDT, assuming 1 ETH = 1000 USDT. If the pool you commit to has a total value of 100,000 USDT in assets it could be: 50 ETH and 50,000 USDT, your participation will be at 20,000 USDT/100,000 USDT x 100 = 20%. **IMPORTANT** Know the % of participation in a pool. When the Liquidity Provider commits its asset through a smart contract, it will automatically issue LP Tokens, or Liquidity Pool Tokens, these tokens go directly to the liquidity provider when withdrawing its share of the pool at any time, which would be 20% of the above example, here comes into play the concept of Impermanent Loss, because liquidity providers are entitled to their share of the pool and not to a specific amount of Tokens, that is why they are exposed to another layer of risk if the price of their deposited assets varies significantly they could incur losses. **Other points of importance** **APR** (Annual Percentage Rate) Reflects the real cost of a loan or other debt, for this reason the main interested in knowing it is the borrower, who wants to apply for a loan. **APY** (Annual Percentage Yield) Reflects the real yield of an investment, for this reason the main interested in knowing it is the investor. **APY**, takes into account compound interest **APR**, Does not take into account compound interest Both **APR** and **APY**, can be used to value investments and loans, **APR** is more appropriate for analyzing loans and **APY** for analyzing investments, the difference is that **APR** also includes all other fees and expenses of the contract, while **APY** shows the impact of compound interest on your investment, hence the true value of return. **Compound interest is said to be the greatest force in the whole world**, for example: Suppose we put 1000 Cake in a pool with automatic compounding, that is, it is going to reinvest the profits, after a few weeks would have generated 2 more Cakes, these are added to the 1000, so we would have 1002 and on that is done again the calculation of the interest that we are going to earn. You will see how our capital would increase, therefore also the yield with that rate of return will be higher. **There are different platforms in different Blockchain to be able to apply Yield Farming, among the most known**: Uniswap, Sushiswuap, Pancake swap, Bakeryswap, Compound, Aave, Solfarm, Radium, Becoswap, Poliswap, it is going to depend on each one where they feel more comfortable in each network, but it is always better to study the pros and cons of each platform.

Venezuela in a Puzzle. Anzoátegui State, Part 2 Happy day dear readers of Read.cash, I hope you are all well. Continuing with the articles of Venezuela in a Puzzle, we culminate the second part of the Anzoategui State. Being an advanced student at the university, we created a theater group called Projection, being me the director of the same, we mounted some works of Aquiles Nazoa and several short plays, this helped us to make presentations in various locations, on one occasion starting the vacations, we went all the theater group from the State of Monagas to Anzoategui State, the funny thing is that we had no vehicle, so we had to ask for queue. https://www.twistpout.co.uk/stag-parties/uk/sexy-hitchhiker The first place was in Anaco, the organizers received us very well, the next day we made the presentation and the next day we went to Cantaura which is very close to Anaco, to make the second presentation, from there we continued to Aragua de Barcelona, where one of the members of the group lives, we had a party, but at that time they were celebrating the feast of Santa Ana, very close to where we were and we were invited to participate, so that day we made another presentation in that town. After there we continued asking for queue to Barcelona, some of us found in pick-up or in trucks, two people of the group got in a hearse that transported a corpse to Barcelona, from Barcelona each one continued towards their home. Photo: Anaco, Tigre, Cantaura https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaco_(Venezuela) https://steemit.com/city/@ivaesma/ciudad-el-tigre Also my older brother was looking for me to know his farm in the community of Tascabaña, Anzoátegui state, this area is home to the Kariña indigenous people, who settled several centuries ago between the center and south of this state, especially in the area of the Mesa de Guanipa; the unity among the members and the faithful attachment to their customs has allowed them to preserve their historical and cultural richness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VFsgzpHtSY They have dedicated part of their lives to the elaboration of handicrafts and to the activities of the conuco, especially to the cultivation of bitter yucca for the elaboration of cassava as well as to the preparation or elaboration of Kashiri, a fermented drink based on yucca or cassava that is burned, they also practiced hunting and rarely fishing. Among their cultural activities was the Mare Mare, which is a sacred dance and music that the Kariñas performed to honor the moon. The dance is characterized by the small steps that the dancers perform back and forth, always accompanied by the flute, maracas, cuatro and guitar. https://www.aporrea.org/actualidad/n260762.html This is a state with a long history of war between the royalist army and the patriots. In the city of Barcelona, capital of the state of Anzoátegui, during the War of Independence many people died in the Casa Fuerte, which was an old colonial Franciscan convent that, after being occupied by the royalist and patriot troops, more than 1600 people were killed while trying to defend the place. At the present time the remains of this Casa Fuerte are cared for and maintained as a Historical Monument and it is said that the grieving souls lament among the ruins of the old convent, I only went to visit with my companions and family in the mornings. https://mapio.net/pic/p-33944019/ The El Morro tourist complex, in the city of Puerto La Cruz, where private residential complexes were built, which could be accessed through the sea, by a pier or by land; it is a tourist, commercial and industrial city of great potential. El Morro hill offers a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea, there is a group of luxurious hotels along the way, when you reach the top you can see the immensity of the sea, Barcelona, El Morro Tourist Complex and Puerto La Cruz. We used to climb the hill El Morro in our vehicle, on January 1st at 4 am to wait for the first sunrise of the year and make a wish just at the moment when its first rays appear, I do not remember if some of them were fulfilled, hehe. This is a series of articles on the States that make up Venezuela, from my experience of visits. **Venezuela in a Puzzle.

Venezuela in a Puzzle. Anzoátegui State, Part 1 Happy day dear readers of Read.cash, I hope you are all well. Continuing with the articles of Venezuela in a Puzzle, being the first one the State of Monagas for being the place where I graduated as a professional, met my wife and birth of my first child, it is now the State of Anzoateguí, selected for being my birthplace. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/venezuela-in-a-puzzle-monagas-state-part-1-9aae50e9 Although my mother and father were born in the state of Sucre, they migrated to this state in order to look for another way of life. They had 5 children, 3 were born in Sucre and 2 in Anzoátegui, being me the last of the litter. We were a family of very limited resources, my mother opened her way to the world with 5 children, my father died when I was only 3 years old, but despite the difficulties the table was always served. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** I was always looking for something to do to earn money, as a child I dedicated myself to make drawings in crayon and charcoal, my older sister as a teenager went to live in the city of Caracas for being the capital, offered better income. In one of her trips she saw my drawings and gave me a case of oil paints, she also painted but she worked in a construction company and did not have time to paint. From there I knew the acrylic, I like it because it is fast drying and I began to paint miniatures, by the time many tourists came to Puerto La Cruz and the Paseo Colon was one of the main tourist attractions, there were many artisans selling their works, so I did not stay behind, I made miniatures in seashells and turned them into tendrils that I sold at night on the Paseo Colon. https://gemtherapie.com/products/aretes-de-conchita The tendrils similar to these but with landscape drawings, mainly marine. The state of Anzoátegui, recognized worldwide for its beautiful beaches: Isla de Plata, El Faro, although the beaches Arapito, Playa Colorada and even the beaches of Mochima, belong to the state of Sucre, it has always been said that they belong to Anzoátegui, this has been for pure publicity and because of the proximity of Puerto La Cruz to these beaches..... Very visited by both national and international tourism, mainly from Canada and the United States, although we also had many visitors from Holland and France, the French generally came in their sailboats. Paseo Colon is a peaceful place of soft breeze, white sand, where you can admire the Caribbean Sea, one of the largest salty seas in the world, presents a unique biodiversity, but highly fragile, because it houses the second largest system of coral reefs in the world. https://steemit.com/cervantes/@rebeguz/conoce-pto-la-cruz-venezuela Sometimes, I would escape from classes and together with my friends we would go to El Faro Island, located 45 minutes from the coast; this beach is characterized because its sand is golden and the water is crystal clear, it was a spectacle to see its sunset and its diversity of birds. On this island is the Lion Cave (this name is due to the sound made by the waves when they hit the walls of the cave, its sand is reddish and with many fossil remains and a lighthouse. There we can observe iguanas in the surroundings, it is an ideal place for hiking. Very close to Puerto La Cruz is Guanta, where large cargo ships arrive, some to load oil and others to unload goods from various parts of the world. Here you will also find a river of very cold water, called La Sirena Park. When you arrive at the park, follow a path to the spa, where there is a waterfall of about 30 meters high. https://masperiodismo.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/la-sirena-es-un-mito/ For the more adventurous, you should look for a guide and continue to the Rolando caves, a little farther from the mermaid, you can visit the interior of the caves but as I said with a guide who knows the area. https://masperiodismo.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/senda-a-las-cavernas-guantenas/ Between the states of Anzoátegui and Sucre lies Mochima National Park, one of the great wonders! It starts at Pozuelos Bay, right in front of Paseo Colón and follows the entire marine coastline until almost the entrance to the city of Cumaná. It covers both marine and mountainous areas with an area of 94,935 hectares. In the marine environment there are many islands for enjoyment and recreation, such as scuba diving due to the diversity of coral reefs. Its beaches, sand, fauna and flora are beautiful and its people are pleasant and friendly. You have to come and visit this state, it is a marvel. I have visited almost all of its cities and towns since I started studying at the university until today. https://m.facebook.com/infoturismosucre/photos/a.632408750133893/3694961847211886/?type=3&locale2=zh_CN All content is original The information obtained from the Web is indicated Thanks for visiting me, you can leave a comment and remember to Like and Follow me. **Reference** Photo Portada: https://vicmaitours.com/internacional/st_location/venezuela/puerto-la-cruz/

Cement, molds, what will you do this time? **Happy day dear community**. I hope you are all very well. This is going to be a short writing because I have several days without being able to make an article. I have always been looking for a way to earn a little more money, I started several projects but they stopped working for various reasons, one of these projects that I started last year was to grow cactus and succulents for sale, given the price of pots is very high, I was planting in recycled plastic cups, in different types of cans, but I felt that there was a void. Once I was checking the web, google that knows everything, asked me why don't you do it?, as a researcher I tried many things, I broke compact discs trying to make molds, I cut wood, I made paper molds, acrylic molds, it seemed that nothing worked, until I cut some plastic bottles and I found what I was looking for, a mold to make cement pots. I must make it clear that I would like to have those silicone molds, they are beautiful but I still don't have enough BCH for that. Photo: Aliexpress https://es.aliexpress.com/i/32958678178.html I like to make these pots, but they are not profitable, it takes me a long time to make them, in about 4 hours I can make 12, then the unmolding the next day 1 hour or more, you have to remove them carefully that they do not break. I leave them to soak for 24 hours after unmolding. Then, for the finishing, I make a paste with glue and cement. After it has dried, I sand it with fine sandpaper. The paint and design is optional. I have stopped making the pots because of the time it took me, but I got engaged by a friend to make several of them, that has not allowed me to make the articles, I have also been busy with other things. All content is original The photos were taken by me Images of the Web, it is indicated Thanks for visiting me.

Making Connections to keep everything Connected **Happy day Community**, I was preparing my next article about the Crypto World, but I stumbled upon @CoquiCoin 's article about "Connecting what isn't connected". Now I have to change perspective because I need to make some connections that apparently are not connected, but if everything has a connection. https://read.cash/@CoquiCoin/connecting-what-isnt-connected-fd0547ad Beginning my writing, I felt that I was rambling and babbling words without any sense, when suddenly I felt that something indescribable was running through my whole body, but probably known... already!!! I managed to see it **A Cockroach**, a tiny being that is only looking for how to survive like the rest of the inhabitants of the planet, how is it possible that we have **¡TERROR!: An insect**,this made me remember the times that I made field visits, where there is an immensity of insects in the humid soils and hiding among the bark of the big trees, one of the places where we can find great diversity of insects, birds and other species is in the **"Majestic Turimiquire", a visit to the Throne of the Gods. (Part 1)**, an unforgettable experience, living in the same way that coffee growers do, without electricity, drinking water from springs and enjoying all the beauty that nature gives us, I would have liked to stay longer in the **"Majestic Turimiquire", a visit to the Throne of the Gods. (Part 2)**, but it's time to go back to the city, even though I didn't need the phone or the internet, it's necessary to go back, I don't know how they do it, I can't survive without technology for a long time either. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/terror-an-insect-d0eed00a https://read.cash/@Frankmart/majestic-turimiquire-a-visit-to-the-throne-of-the-gods-part-1-4ec56934 https://read.cash/@Frankmart/majestic-turimiquire-a-visit-to-the-throne-of-the-gods-part-2-5ceb78da And that is how time goes by, we are already culminating the month of October, to think that September has just passed and it is getting farther and farther away, I can not help thinking that it was a wonderful month, just because in September I had to wish her **Happy Birthday FRANCYS**, my favorite daughter, because the oldest is my favorite son, I only have two, hehehehe. My favorite son "Gustavo", he was barely 1 year old when he rode his first horse, as a teenager he wanted to accompany me to make field visits, I took him one day, but unfortunately there were few horses and he could not ride any horse, so he was very upset, which led me to make another visit in the **"Majestic Turimiquire", a visit to the Throne of the Gods. (Part 3)**, but he had to ride on a donkey with a wooden saddle, we went up the mountain and returned the same day, it was about 6 hours riding, when we arrived at the place where we had left, he could not dismount from the donkey, he did not accompany me again in my inspections. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/happy-birthday-francys-f4bcdf93 https://read.cash/@Frankmart/majestic-turimiquire-a-visit-to-the-throne-of-the-gods-part-3-b31cb220 https://wsimag.com/es/ciencia-y-tecnologia/60348-videojuegos-y-comportamiento When I asked him to accompany me, he would tell me: No no no, I will stay playing On Line, when he came back he was still playing, then he would turn on the laptop and put me next to him to continue playing, but as we have many problems with electricity, we would run out of light, well now what do we do, he would ask me: Dad when the technology we have today didn't exist, what did you do, what did you do? Well, I start talking to him about all the types of games we used to play, like playing metras, trompo and I had to explain some group games like the **“Rondas” (Traditional Venezuelan Songs and Games)**. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/rondas-traditional-venezuelan-songs-and-games-71b32e56 Wow, the light came on, we are still playing I asked him, I don't have to prepare myself because soon we will have a conference about cryptocurrencies, by the way if you want to attend, this weekend they are going to talk about it at the University. So I attended the event, the person giving the talk was talking about **Crypto World. Blockchain Generalities**, since some time ago I was in the faucets getting fractions of cryptocurrencies, but that was it, is this moment I learned a lot of things, I was constantly wondering **Crypto World. Bitcoin. What is it and how does it work?** and that was when for the first time I could buy Bitcoin with fiat currency, but that did not stay there, I still had other questions that I needed to clarify, I know the existence of many cryptocurrencies but where do they come from, how is this world, so I keep researching, I really like the Ether but I had a confusion because where does this cryptocurrency come from and I wondered **Crypto World. ETHEREUM. What is it?**, now I have more information of this vast world, at that moment my wife asks me what I'm involved in, so I start to show her all the information I have learned about the crypto world, telling her that this is the future where we should invest, giving her examples of people who have come to have a lot of money for having bought from the beginning. My wife has always liked traveling, on her vacations she used to do tours around the country, she tells me... if we get that amount we are going to do a tour of **Venezuela in a Puzzle.

Crypto World. USDT. What is USDT? Happy day Community, I hope you are having a great time, so far I have brought you some articles about Blockchain, Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and NFT, I hope you have liked them, this time I will comment on TETHER or USDT, this currency that everyone should know for being immersed in the world as volatile as it is that of cryptocurrencies. https://www.iprofesional.com/finanzas/346023-que-es-tether-y-como-funciona-la-paridad-entre-el-dolar-y-su-usdt First of all let's clarify that **USDT** is equal to say **Tether**, its symbol comes from the union of the dollar (**USD**) with the letter "**T**" of Tether, it is a digital currency that has a value very similar to the US dollar, the purpose was to create a stable cryptocurrency, its purpose is to maintain a fixed value with respect to a fiat currency, it could be called digital dollars or cryptomonetized dollars. Tether initially used OMNILAYER from the Bitcoin network as a transport protocol, but is now available as an ERC20 token from Ethereum. Tether is issued on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS and TRON blockchain, this means that USDT tokens cannot be mined, these are created according to the needs of the ecosystem. Tether tokens are issued by the company Tether Limited. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **What is Tether used for?** Due to its stability it is used for cryptocurrency volatility protection, that is each dollar is linked to 1 Tether, so it can be used as an input and output of fiat money for cryptocurrency trading. For example, the first step to be able to buy cryptocurrencies could be to buy Tether and then exchange it for another cryptocurrency of your choice. https://cypherbits.net/bitcoin-cash-bch-integrara-a-tether-usdt-en-su-red/ **How to buy Tether?** It can be purchased on any cryptocurrency exchange platform, for example Binance. **How was Tether created?** **A bit of history.** **2014**, **J.R. Willett**, who was its founder, worked on MASTERCOIN, with MASTERCOIN there was the possibility of creating several layers over Bitcoin or Sidechains, in which it was possible to execute other cryptocurrencies. In the development of this cryptocurrency were also **Brock Pierce** and **Craig Sellars**, who were members of the MASTERCOIN Foundation, for this same year they launched their cryptocurrency called Realcoin using the OMNI LAYER protocol, using the Bitcoin Blockchain, so you could generate, exchange, send, exchange, make bets and pay dividends with tokens representing any type of asset, all this running on a second layer built on Bitcoin and operated directly by the OMNI protocol. Photo: J.R.WILLETT, BROCK PIERCE, CRAIG SELLARS https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/jr-willett https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/brock-pierce-cryptocurrency-pioneer-has-had-no-involvement-with-tether-since-2015-301392246.html https://twitter.com/omnicraig In the month of November 2014, **TETHER CEO** **Reeve Collins** announced that the project would be renamed TETHER, also indicating the creation of three additional currencies USTether (USDT), YenTether (YENT) and EuroTether (EURT), presenting the birth of 3 stable currencies. https://blog.bitnovo.com/que-es-tether-usdt-la-guia-completa/ **2015**, **BITFINEX**, decided to add USDT and other stable cryptocurrencies to its platform. But this situation was met with many problems because of the partnership between BITFINEX and the company Tether Holdings Limited. **2017**, It was announced that USDT could be used on Litecoin, but the project was abandoned due to low interest in the platform. This year saw the announcement of the launch of the ERC20 token for US dollars and for Euros on Ethereum. Today USDT accounts for approximately 80% of Bitcoin transactions. **Why was USDT created?** To facilitate transactions at a fixed rate with the US dollar, in order to circumvent state intervention and oversight and all the regulations that come with it. Each USDT is backed by $1 which is held in the Tether company's reserve and can be exchanged through its platform. https://www.paracriptos.com/tether/ **USDT is a secure cryptocurrency?** Tether runs on open blockchain technology leverages security and transparency while complying with international standards and regulations. Its main value is to convert cash into a digital currency to anchor the value to the domestic currency price, Tether must always be backed in fiat currency. The transaction register is public and has a Transparency Web, creating a proof of reserves. This system links the blockchain accounting together with the accounting of your bank accounts to carry what we can call Tether Equivalency, this allows to ensure the 1:1 collateralization ratio. **Advantages** Tether helps combat volatility, especially when there are sharp declines in cryptocurrencies. It has no limits or boundaries for a transfer and low interest rates. Keeps exchanges highly liquid and protected against cryptocurrency volatility. Offers a means of protection to traders within Exchanges, because it can convert the balance to USDT, immediately. It always maintains the value of a dollar, so it can be effectively used to make payments with cryptocurrencies, which could not be with the other cryptocurrencies due to their high volatility. **Disadvantages** The issuance and physical backing, because it is regulated by a single company such as Tether. All the power is in the hands of the issuing company, because it is in charge of safeguarding these physical dollars. As Tether is a non-decentralized currency, the consensus algorithm does not involve mining it, the only issuer is the company. It is susceptible to inflation, as it is pegged to the dollar, it is prone to inflation and gradually depreciates. Tether Limited engages in some shady activities, which is why it has been involved in several scandals regarding the cryptocurrency. Although the percentage of use is high, its popularity is steadily decreasing, there are other more responsible competitors, among them we have USD Coin (USDC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD) and so many other cryptocurrencies. **These articles may also be of interest to you:** **Blockchain Generalities** https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-7756da02 **Bitcoin.

Crypto World. Non Fungible Token. What are NFT? One of the most expensive NFTs in history sold for approximately **$69 million** and the artwork is called **Everydays: The First 5000 days** by digital artist **Mike Winkelmann**, known as **The Beeple**. Everydays is a collage, from the beginning of his project when he published sketches. Photo: Everyday The First 5000 days https://www.semana.com/cultura/articulo/una-obra-de-arte-digital-rompe-record-en-subasta-se-vende-por-693-millones-de-dolares/202130/ To begin with, let's first discuss ¿what is a token?, to have a clearer idea we will make an analogy with fiat money. That is, you can change a $100 bill and exchange it for two $50 bills, or exchange it in another type of currency, for example in your traditional currency. Cryptocurrencies are the equivalent of fiat money but in the digital world. Now the tokens in real life, let's take an example, if you go to a casino there you exchange fiat money for tokens that each has a different color and value, it is not real money but it has its equivalent in real currency, those tokens are only useful in that casino and you can exchange them again for real money. Another example is Amazon cards, or cards to use in Google Play or digital stores, these coupons would be like tokens in the real world. Photos: Casino, Google play, amazon https://lucesysombrasopinion.com/2017/09/21/asi-ha-sido-es-y-sera/casino-apostar-todo/ https://www.xatakandroid.com/play-store/donde-comprar-las-tarjetas-regalo-de-google-play https://www.alamy.es/imagenes/tarjeta-de-regalo-de-amazon.html **Non Fungible Tokens (NFT)**, are a type of cryptocurrency created on a smart contract platform created on the Ethereum network, also known as unique digital assets, which can be owned and traded, for example: a group of digital cards, there are several types and models, but there is only one with the same identity. It is recommended to invest money in these digital assets?. **First we will describe some concepts:** **What is Fungible?**: cryptocurrencies are fungible because they are the same and can replace each other, like fiat money. **Non-fungible tokens**, they are unique in their kind, indivisible and irreplaceable, unique with their ID, it is a certified possession. They are created on the Ethereum chain, they are unalterable, no one can undo their ownership or create another one exactly the same because each one has its own ID validated by the blockchain. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **Applications and Benefits** One of the first applications that emerged was CryptoKitties game in 2017, it is a game based on Blockchain, they are collectible virtual cats, which can interact with each other and produce new kitty NFTs, you can also buy, sell or exchange them. The price of the cats is variable, depending on the rarity of the NFT, there are 56 different attributes that generate unlimited combinations, so its price is variable from **$5,000 to $113,000**. Photo CryptoKitties https://pablomazaabogado.es/innovacion-tic/que-son-los-cryptokitties-y-como-usan-el-token-nft/ NFTs can also represent physical assets, such as real estate, i.e. we can tokenize a house or land, with a smart contract you could sell a physical property, which could be delivered with an NFT and everything would be recorded on the blockchain. Another application could be a collectible video or a part of it, but you would have to prove your authorship, for example: you could create a NFT of some audio or video and sell it to the public, if this would reach popularity, it could be resold at high prices. The works of art because they have so much value?, the painting of **Salvator Mundi** by Leonardo Da Vinci is the most expensive painting in the world, it was paid more than **450 million $**, in the same auction a painting by the artist **Cy Towmbly** was sold for **50 million $**, you will see I am not an art critic, but it seems to me that the second one is easier to realize. These works are unique and signed by very famous people. Technology arrives to this world with the NFT, it is a technological implementation on the concept of unique works, so the NFT can cost a lot of money. Photos: Salvator Mundi, Cy Towmbly https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvator_Mundi_(Leonardo_da_Vinci) https://www.revistadearte.com/2008/02/12/cy-twombly-el-arte-de-los-siglos-xx-y-xxi/ Artists and creators have benefited, protecting copyrights, we have platforms where you can create your art and make your NFT tokens, for example **OpenSea**, you can upload your digital artwork, infographics, discs, when you sell that digital asset you pass the ownership of it. Another platform is **Rarible**, you can also create and upload your digital artwork for sale. Also in collectors marketplaces like **Collect SuperRare Digital Artworks**, those NFT can be configured to have passive income, every time that artwork is sold or changes owners. Also new services are going to come out like for FANs, you could sell your followers some signed asset, like an autographed photo, that would be unique and original, you could have it with a NFT. Many games have a real value within our economy, thanks to the NFT we can earn those tokens and exchange them for any cryptocurrency and then pass it to fiat money. There are many platforms that offer games to earn NFT, among them we can name: Axie Infinity, Plant Vs Undead, Block Farm Club, Mir4, Wanaka Farm, Cryptomine, Battle Hero, in short there is a huge amount of games where we can invest by buying NFT and earn the currency of the game. Photos: Axie Infinity, PlantVsUndead, Block Farm Club https://sumarium.info/2021/08/24/reserve-incorpora-los-tokens-de-axie-infinity/ https://rubiknews.tech/newstech/node/80 https://webmediums.com/criptomonedas/block-farm-club-una-copia-de-plants-vs-undead-tiene-futuro-208v360l74sr **Is it a good investment?** It should meet these 3 factors: Application, Popularity and Exclusivity. **Applicability**: it helps to generate more money. **Popularity**: it should reach many people and be popular. **Exclusivity**: there can be exclusive NFTs, so they can be very expensive. I am not a financial advisor, I am earning a certain amount of cryptocurrencies thanks to the NFT games, so far it is not much time that I invest, since the games are not so demanding for the moment and I have several NFT, which I can sell, I have recovered my investment and continue with the compound interest. If you want to enter these games, I recommend you to investigate before making any investment.

Crypto World. BITCOIN CASH. What is it? As you know I have been writing articles about cryptocurrencies since its inception, today I have come up with Bitcoin Cash, our beloved currency, I was also inspired by a recent article from my friend @Eybyoung (sorry for naming you) where she showed her concern about the falling price of BCH. You can read it at the following link BCH Rank 19, I believe BCH will continue to grow and get stronger every day. https://read.cash/@Eybyoung/bitcoin-cash-at-rank-18-19-should-i-be-worried-3039f0e4 **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, currently ranked #18 market-wide according to CoinMarketCap. BCH is a cryptocurrency open source software project and alternative implementation of Bitcoin, originated by the splitting of the Bitcoin network on August 1, 2017, its goal is to continue the original vision of Satoshi Nakamoto. Photo by: Tutorialesenlinea https://tutorialesenlinea.es/1542-que-es-bitcoin-cash-bch.html A part of the Bitcoin community decided to split into a different Blockchain through a fork, executed by part of those who integrated that network. This group of developers felt dissatisfied with the general scalability direction of Bitcoin, the developers were not happy with the development of Bitcoin, did not agree with the implementation of SegWit transactions, this group formed a plan to separate from the Bitcoin blockchain and created Bitcoin Cash, with a block capacity limit of 1 megabyte going to 8 megabytes and reaching 32 megabytes today. The division of the network occurred just when the block number 478558 was mined, the last one that would be identical in both networks, from there BCH began to exist independently, increased the maximum size of the blocks, premiering a new mining algorithm called emergency difficulty adjustment, all users who had Bitcoin saw their balances reflected in both networks, i.e. they had the same amount of Bitcoin in BCH. **Who is Roger Ver?** Photo by: Cointelegraph https://es.cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-cash-for-beginners/what-is-bitcoin-cash He is a great investor who embraced Bitcoin in its early days. He invested more than 1 million $ in several companies that have to do with Bitcoin, among them: Blockchain.com, Krake, Bitpay, Ripple, among others. He is also one of the creators of the Bitcoin Foundation, Roger Ver is known as Bitcoin Jesus. In an interview in Cointelegraph, he described "Bitcoin Cash" as the real Bitcoin, announcing that it will have a larger market capitalization very soon. He also said that most of his funds are in BCH. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **Difference between Bitcoin and BCH** Block size limit and transaction fee, BCH has larger blocks and lower usage, making it faster and cheaper than Bitcoin. Peer to peer e-money is online money sent from one person to another without the need for a third party. It makes use of digital signatures as part of the solution, BCH can trade in seconds and have confirmations in minutes. It is a network runs 5 transactions with low fees, you can send money globally for pennies, it is simple, easy to use, no hiccups, it is stable, a payment system that is a proven store of value, it is secure, it is the most robust Blockchain technology. It is available in a multitude of markets, in mobile style wallets, browser wallets or so-called paper wallets. Photo: Gavin Andersen https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coinfox.info%2Fnews%2F5447-gavin-andresen-loses-access-to-bitcoin-core-code-due-to-his-support-of-craig-wright&psig=AOvVaw3EzAooGDf7KQohCkUZuLEo&ust=1634685328900000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=2ahUKEwiXw4fEi9XzAhW0cTABHRCjBaQQjRx6BAgAEAk On November 11, 2017 Gavin Andersen developer whom Satoshi left in charge of the Bitcoin project, at the time of his retirement wrote on Twitter supporting BCH publicly, hinting that it better represented the project he had worked on from the beginning. BCH is a p2p electronic system, a decentralized altcoin, which does not require any trusted third party or central banks. The BCH protocol guarantees that there will never be more than 21 million coins as with Bitcoin, governments continually print coins inflating the supply infinitely and devaluing everyone's savings. **BCH** has a fixed issuance therefore represents a solid currency. It also offers greater privacy and anonymity than traditional payment systems such as wire transfers or credit cards, because it is impossible to know who controls a Bitcoin address. In fact BCH offers various levels of privacy depending on how it is used, reviewing the price according to CoinMarketCap its value is at **611.17 $**, the unit and its behavior is very stable, it has kept up with Bitcoin, to such an extent that if Bitcoin goes up BCH goes up, if Bitcoin goes down BCH goes down, not always but most of the time. As of today's date it **ranks 18th** with a capitalization of **$11,518,798,352** and a volume in the last 24 hours of **1,941,709 BCH**. Another thing, BCH is available in countless market, it is one of the first Altcoin to consolidate, no doubt it makes its authority and liquidity almost assured in the cryptocurrency market. **Other articles you may like** **Blockchain Generalities** https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-7756da02 **Bitcoin.

Crypto World. LITECOIN. What is? Hello Read.cash Community, today with a new content about the Crypto World, this time it's Litecoin's turn, in the previous presentations we showed: Blockchain Generalities, What is Bitcoin? and What is Ethereum?, you can click on the links if you want to review any of them. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-7756da02 https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-bitcoin-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work-014da70c https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-ethereum-what-is-it-9c60c0da **What is an Alcoin?**: Any cryptocurrency alternative to Bitcoin. Photo by: Cointelegraph https://es.cointelegraph.com/tags/altcoin **Litecoin (LTC)**, is one of the most recognized Alcoin in the world, it is the oldest in existence, it was launched on October 17, 2011, its creator was **Charlie Lee**, who left his job at Google to dedicate himself to Litecoin, he was also working as head of development of coinbase until 2017. Hence the many controversies he has had, it was said that he was manipulating the price of the tokens, until he decided to sell all the tokens he had and thus eliminate all rumors. Photo Charlie Lee https://medium.com/@nicolesarah492/litecoin-ceo-charlie-lees-vision-about-litecoin-s-future-2facf9209671 Like the other alcoins, the Litecoin Foundation was also created as a non-profit organization based in Singapore, which is responsible for the development of Litecoin for social purposes. Litecoin is a Bitcoin Fork with a slightly modernized blockchain code. **Fork**: Bitcoin software is open source, so it can be accessed, what is done is to take the existing protocol and create a new project based on it, making changes in the code, i.e. Litecoin could be said to be a copy of the modification of the bitcoin protocol, made as an independent project. Bitcoin has other forks Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** The time to generate a new block is a quarter of the time it takes Bitcoin to generate a new block, i.e. Bitcoin takes 10 minutes while Litecoin takes 2.5 minutes. Therefore the cost of transactions is significantly reduced. Litecoin achieved its greatest success in 2013, when it reached a market capitalization of $1 billion, which is why it came to be seen as the cryptocurrency that could replace Bitcoin. Bitcoin's maximum supply is 21 million and Litecoin's is 84 million, its consensus mechanism in the same Proof of Work (P.O.W), which we had mentioned before. The last Halving was on August 5, 2019. This caused the block reward for miners to decrease from 25 LTC to 12.5 LTC and the next Halving will be on August 6, 2023. **Verified transactions per second** Bitcoin 7 Ethereum 15 Litecoin 56 In September 2017 the coin added support, the first for the **Lighthing Network** technology, which improved the stability of the network, which made it possible to send LTC without paying any fees and transactions on the spot, a few months earlier there was another light fork called Segwit which doubled the block size. The second one was **Atomic swap**, which made it possible to exchange one cryptocurrency for a different one between users, without using exchange sites. Photo by: Tynmagazine https://tynmagazine.com/top-criptomonedas-para-invertir/ In its beginnings LTC could be mined from our computers using the power of the CPU, there was not much competition, but when bitcoin prices began to rise, also increased the competition to get to mine a block. Therefore it was necessary to use more mining power, that is where **GPU** (Graphics Processing Unit) come in. It is still possible to mine LTC from CPUs, but not much can be achieved. Litecoin is trying to establish itself as an alternative cryptocurrency to fiat money like Bitcoin but with lower transaction costs, it can be used as a bridge to exchange other cryptocurrencies. **Other articles that may interest you** Blockchain Generalities https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-7756da02 Bitcoin.

Venezuela in a Puzzle. Monagas State, Part 2 Welcome, I hope this article is to your liking. In the first part I describe my experience during my stay in the city of Maturin, you can review it in the following link: Monagas State, Part 1. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/venezuela-in-a-puzzle-monagas-state-part-1-9aae50e9 Once I finished my basic studies at the Universidad de Oriente Maturín I continued my professional studies in Jusepín, this town emerged with the oil boom, the facilities that belonged to the Creole Petroleum Corporation, were ceded to the Universidad de Oriente, for the operation of professional careers in agriculture. This field had the main offices, classrooms, houses for professors, houses and apartments for single students and houses for married students, with a very accessible monthly payment to the students. **I invite you to read their very interesting articles.** When I went to the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, I really fell more in love with my studies, my love for raising cattle, that was my dream to have a farm AgroTuristica, teach tourists to milk, prepare cheese ... but the reality was different, now my farm is virtual in PlantvsUndead, and waiting for one called Chivas Farm. Job opportunities were very few and I was already married with a son. A farm similar to this photo: Hotel Agroturistico https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic1.elcomercio.es%2Fwww%2Fmultimedia%2F201910%2F02%2Fmedia%2Fcortadas%2Fnina-ternera-k65G-U903038393930xB-624x385%40El%2520Comercio.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.elcomercio.es%2Fsociedad%2Fninos-crecen-cerca-granja-sistema-inmunologico-fuerte-20191002193620-nt.html&tbnid=D06B0rXwB5898M&vet=12ahUKEwjSr8Tg08jzAhUwcDABHT83AGMQxiAoCXoECAAQGw..i&docid=TDuEToqkLlNtgM&w=624&h=385&itg=1&q=hotel%20agroturistico&ved=2ahUKEwjSr8Tg08jzAhUwcDABHT83AGMQxiAoCXoECAAQGw Wow, I forgot about Monagas again, I'll leave the University for another time. While studying at the University I had the opportunity to go to the town of Caicara, very famous because on the 28th of December the Baile del Mono or Baile los Locos takes place. The party is led by a foreman, with the sound of a guarura or bull horn, after midnight, he gives the call for the "locos" to take to the streets. The participants go from house to house waking people up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnz4Fl2GvN8 In this party they prepare and use different colored paints and people dress up with old women's costumes, masks and hats with flowers and feathers. The party lasts all day to the rhythm of mariselas, joropos and oriental choruses. An excellent experience, there the people were ready to dance, to drink and to take blows, it was the part that I did not like, because besides that they got you wet, they dirtied you with tizne, with flour. I also had the opportunity to go to the town of Barranca del Orinoco, to represent the University with the fair team and our livestock, this is a town that is located near the Orinoco River. On the banks of the river live the indigenous people of the Warao ethnic group. Photo: Etnia Warao https://www.fronteraviva.com/indigenas-de-la-etnia-warao-huyen-hacia-brasil-debido-a-la-crisis-humanitaria-en-el-pais/ Another town that I can not fail to mention and that in another opportunity I will talk about it is Caripe, with a very pleasant temperature (12-24ºC), there was an extension of the University, where strawberries and very sweet oranges were cultivated, we made rides in the university buses and we also visited the Guácharo cave, We had the opportunity to bathe in the waterfalls called Salto de la Paila (30 m high) and El Chorreron (50 m high), recognized natural beauties, to get there we had to walk about 30 minutes from the parking lot of the Cueva del Guácharo and then we returned in the afternoon to the university residence. How I enjoyed those walks. Photo by: Tripadvisor. El Guácharo https://www.tripadvisor.es/Tourism-g8693865-Caripe_North_Eastern_Region-Vacations.html Heading north on the road that connects Monagas with the state of Sucre via Caripe, we find the El Guamo dam, with a capacity of 155,000,000 m3 that holds water from the Guarapiche, Colorado, Cocollar and other rivers; it was built on the ruins of the towns of San Francisco, Cachimbo and Colorado. When the waters go down in the dry season, you can see some of the roofs of houses that were submerged. There you can practice water sports or fish with permission from the Ministry of Environment. Photho by: Steemkr. El Guamo Dam https://steemkr.com/spanish/@iaso/poblado-bajo-el-agua-embalse-represa-del-guamo For me, the state of Monagas has an unquestionable tourist potential; it has great architectural attractions such as its churches, the Sarrapial hacienda and the soccer stadium, its natural beauties such as the Guácharo Cave and the Morrocoyes Cave; the variety of dances and traditional fairs such as the Mono de Caicara, the carnivals of Maturin, the snake of Ipure and the Horse Fair. Photo by: San Antonio https://masperiodismo.wordpress.com/2013/04/28/el-pueblo-y-la-culebra-gigante/ San Antonio de Capayacuar is a picturesque town with very friendly inhabitants. Legend has it that the Capayas tribe lived there, one morning the children went to fetch water at the spring, when suddenly a giant snake came out (The Ipure snake) swallowing one of them, and disappearing into the spring. The children alerted the tribe, and the sorcerer invoked the snake and killed it, opened it and found the girl's body. Some time later they returned to the spring and found that a lagoon had formed in the place where they killed the snake. The festivities are held in the month of June in the name of San Antonio de Padua and the event is commemorated with a dance with a group of girls simulating a snake. All content is original.

Venezuela in a Puzzle. Monagas State, Part 1 I am Venezuelan; my country is located in the Northern Hemisphere and in the North of South America, tropical climate with two seasons, one rainy and the other dry, territorially organized in: 23 states, the capital district, the Federal Dependencies (the islands), the Federal Territories and a reclamation zone. Map edited by me I have proposed to put together a puzzle, telling you a little about each of the states that make it up and my experiences, I wanted to start with the state of Monagas, because here I was trained as a professional at the Universidad de Oriente, where I spent much of my youth, I have very good memories of that time of my life. **1st piece of my Puzzle The State of Monagas** At an early age I came to live in this beautiful city, to continue my professional studies at the Universidad de Oriente, because of economic problems, it was not easy! and for various reasons I was constantly changing my residence. I had full time at the University, it was very complicated to look for a job, I got a scholarship in the university dining room, that guaranteed me two meals a day, my breakfast many times was just a black coffee. On Friday afternoons very few students ate, there was always food left, so they gave me some portions and with that food I had breakfast, lunch and dinner for the weekend. Photo: Maturín https://la.network/galeria-cuales-son-las-10-ciudades-mas-violentas-del-mundo/6-maturin-venezuela/ Painting is one of my passions, since I was a child I used to draw with pencils, then charcoal, thanks to my sister who also painted, she gave me a case of oil paints, for me it was also exciting to paint with oil. In one of my walks through the city I found a small gallery of a famous painter in the area called **Hector Luis Caldera**, he allowed me to stay and see how he painted, I learned that he had done higher studies in France, until I asked him to work with him without pay, I just wanted to learn the art and make my own paintings. At first he refused, but I was very insistent and he let me do some work on Saturdays, I learned to make frames, marquetry, prepare the canvases as a base for oil painting, at that time he sold one of his paintings and compensated me for that, for me it was a blessing, I did not expect it, I am very grateful for that. Then he asked me not to continue, I understood his reason, for him it was not fair for me to work without receiving anything in return, but knowledge was the most important thing at that time. **I thought it was incredible to have found him on the web, here are his works** **Photos Héctor Caldera**: 1 Blog, 2 Twitter http://hectorcaldera.blogspot.com/2010/08/morichales.html https://twitter.com/hectorcalderab/status/1132669024402366464 I think I got sidetracked.... Hehehehe.... What was I going to talk about?..... Ah of the State of Monagas, its capital is Maturin, it has 13 municipalities. It is located in the east of the country, it is a plains state, there is a great agricultural production. The Universidad de Oriente Núcleo Monagas, were divided in 2 parts, one where the Basic courses were held in Maturín and the other part was in the town of Jusepin, Cedeño Municipality, where the Faculties of Zootechnics and Agronomical Engineering were located, When I was going to the University I passed by a traffic circle that called my attention, I always wondered who was that woman, **Juana la Avanzadora**, I had heard about Juana de Arco, but I did not know anything about this insigne woman, she was a slave and heroine who actively participated in the war of independence. Reference: Photo 1, 2 https://www.monografias.com/trabajos21/juana-ramirez/juana-ramirez.shtml https://www.lapatilla.com/2015/07/20/quien-es-juana-la-avanzadora/ Sometimes, he attended mass in the **Cathedral Church** located on Bolivar Avenue. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Carmen, has two towers that measure 55 meters high and its dome is 18 meters in diameter. Inside there are 36 multicolored stained glass windows on the sides and 7 central windows representing San Marcos, San José, San Simón, San Lucas, San Mateo and Nuestra Señora del Carmen.

Photo: La Guaricha Park https://mapio.net/wiki/Q6062585-es/ **Maturin**, is one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities I have visited, it is characterized for being a city where rain is abundant, we could say that in the rainy season, it rains every day, something that really surprises me is that regardless of the amount of rain that falls, in minutes it is dry, it has a drainage system that dries very quickly, I speak from my experience, I have several years that I do not visit it, I do not know how it is today with the population growth.

Crypto World. ETHEREUM. What is it? Hello Read.cash Community welcome, I hope you are very well, in Crypto World I will be showing summarized information of what this world of cryptography means, at the bottom of the page I will leave the links of the articles that I will be presenting. **Ethereum** has its beginnings thanks to the work of **Vitalik Buterin** and **Gavin Wood** in 2013, during their work with some Bitcoin projects, they tried to improve the shortcomings of the Bitcoin blockchain. But this technology went beyond just financial applications. Ethereum was made official in 2014 in a Bitcointalk forum, after the forum they invented the **Ethereum Virtual Machine EVM**, this led to the creation of the Ethereum Foundation. Photo: Vitalik Buterein https://www.iproup.com/economia-digital/26112-lanzan-the-vitaliks-nft-con-la-cara-del-creador-del-ethereum **Ethereum** it is one of the largest cryptocurrency projects in the industry. It is a digital platform based on blockchain technology capable of realizing many decentralized applications, smart contracts and supporting thousands of tokens. Today, the Ethereum Foundation is overseeing the development of this great project. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** **Do you know the difference between Ethereum and Ether?** **Ethereum** is a decentralized operating system, it is a platform where decentralized operations are performed. **Ether** is the cryptocurrency and like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not controlled by any government, i.e. it is decentralized. It is very important to say that it uses the POW (Proof of Work) consensus protocol, which leads to perform a Proof of Participation with the Ethereum 2.0 update. Photo by: Freepik https://www.freepik.es/vector-gratis/criptomonedas-monedas-oro-simbolo-ethereum-aislado-sobre-fondo-blanco_8801500.htm **Technical features** **Mining**, works with the POW protocol, works with GPU (video cards), 18 million ETH are issued per year, it is unlimited, if any miner solves the mathematical problem, 2 ETH are granted. **Gas**, is a concept specific to Ethereum, it is used to measure the work done in the Blockchain, each operation is calculated in units of Gas, it is like a kind of fee. This gas helps to improve the security of the system, prevents denial of service attacks. **Smart contract**, is also very important, this is nothing more than a computer program that performs pre-established actions, this in order to facilitate, verify and enforce a negotiation digitally, through a code. These smart contracts are necessary to perform transactions where a third party does not intervene. It can be applied in the purchase and sale of real estate, payments to professionals, purchase of assets, among others. **USES**, It can be said that payments are received quickly and securely. **Realization of ICO** (Initial Coin Offering), where funds are raised and the creation of Token in the Ethereum Network in the ERC20. **DAPPS**, are computer programs that also use open source codes that are used within blockchain technology. Likewise developers can build decentralized applications using the ethereum network. They are also stored in the blockchain technology along with transaction records. These Dapps are created using groups of smart contracts, codes that are used to perform different types of exchanges, money, shares, among others. Photo By: IPROUP https://www.iproup.com/economia-digital/23494-bitcoin-y-ethereum-en-baja-que-les-pasa **Differences between Bitcoin and Ether** Both work on the Blockchain Technology, the new coins are obtained by miners. **Bitcoin**, the maximum supply is 21million, 1 block is mined every 10 minutes. **Ether**, the supply is unlimited, 1 block is mined every 15 seconds. Both Ethereum and Bitcoin are totally different projects and their objectives are also different. Bitcoin was the first currency created and is a system for transferring money, through blockchain technology. **Ethereum** uses the same blockchain technology but expanded its capabilities. It is a complete network, has its own blockchain, its own browser, but as mentioned in the Dapps, decentralized applications can be created. **Articles published by Mundo Crypto:** **Blockchai Generalities** https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-55ac3c1e Bitcoin.

On October 31 of this year will be 13 years, that is in 2008, that an unknown or unknown called Satoshi Nakamoto, because so far his identity is unknown, some say it is a person, others say it was a group of people, it is also claimed that it could be a federal entity, Well for that year Satoshi published an article on the mailing list of cryptography Metzdown, which wrote a p2p system, ie person to person, called Bitcoin, peer to peer electronic cash system, in the summary commented that it was a system of person to person payment where no financial institution was needed. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** Therefore we can say that Bitcoin is a **decentralized** digital currency, currency, of course, because like the money we know as the $, €, Bs, Pesos, can also be purchased with Bitcoin, it is **digital** because you can not see it physically, it is only in the Blockchain that we described in the previous article, the most important thing is that it is decentralized, because it does not depend on any financial institution to make any transaction. https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-55ac3c1e Traditional money has value because we, the state or the government, give it that value, when we receive that money we can call it paper money. There are people who can create these currencies in an illicit way, it is illicit because only the authorized bank has the permission to do it, what can happen if a country does not stop printing these currencies?, we are living it in Venezuela, there is a hyperinflation that has devalued the currency to such an extent that they have removed 15 zeros, I am not going to talk about that. Now let's imagine that we want to make a transfer to another person who is in another country, this would be extremely expensive, we have to pay the services of several banks so that the money can reach the other person. **So how does Bitcoin break this scheme?**, this is where Blockchain technology comes into play, if I want to send Bitcoin to someone, I do not have to look for a bank to do it, being decentralized and all the people involved have a copy of the Blockchain, they know how much bitcoin you have, then only notice them and once they corroborate that amount, then they will deduct those Bitcoin from my wallet and place them in the wallet of the person to whom I send it. Of course, each person must have his virtual wallet, just like the bank if I send you money I send it to a bank account of the person who receives it. It is very safe because as explained in the Blockchain, the Bitcoin has a code that is stored in your digital wallet. Now, all the people who participate will be able to see the amount of bitcoin that I have in my wallet, we have 2 answers: **the first one is Yes**, knowing a Bitcoin address they could see the entries and exits of the currency in that account and the **other answer is No**, because it is totally anonymous, this simple process is performed by a number of computers and is summarized in a set of numbers and letters processed by these machines. There is also a fee or gas to pay for the use of the system. Suppose I want to send 500 $ from Spain to a person in Venezuela, then you have to pay banking services and a percentage of the amount you send. With Bitcoin is different, it does not matter the amount to send, because here you only send information. For example if you have a notepad, if you put a word in a notepad and save it, but if you want to see the size of those files you will realize that it is similar and very small. Finally, one bitcoin is composed of 100 million satoshi, so you can buy fractions of bitcoin with your local currency, through different exchange websites. So far this is the summarized but very complete information about Bitcoin. Remember if you like this information you can share it with other people who may be interested in learning these topics. **Articles published by Mundo Crypto:** Blockchai Generalities https://read.cash/@Frankmart/crypto-world-blockchain-generalities-55ac3c1e All content is original The information obtained from the Web is indicated Thanks for visiting me, you can leave a comment and remember to Like and Follow me. **Saturday, October 09, 2021** References: Photo Portada by: https://coffeesp.com/AL/que-es-bitcoin-btc-guia-oficial-d98843/ https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-57066481 https://gestion.pe/economia/bitcoin-que-es-y-como-funciona-cual-es-su-precio-como-comprarlo-y-donde-nnda-nnlt-noticia/

Crypto World. Blockchain Generalities Happy day Read.cash Community, with this title I begin to comment on the world of cryptocurrencies, research that I have been doing for some time, I now want to share, perhaps many of you are more advanced than me, in fact I still feel many deficiencies due to how fast technology advances, trying to keep me up to date. Now I am going to start with the basics of cryptocurrencies, in this first part we are going with Blockchain, since some time ago we have heard about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and other cryptocurrencies, as we know they are digital currencies. We also know the fiat money that we have in each country, such as the Dollar, Euro, Peso, Bolivars, among others, this money is based on the faith or trust of the community, that is, it is not backed by precious metals, only a promise of payment by the issuing entity. With fiduciary money we need centralized entities such as banks to be able to carry out money transactions. **These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.** Blockchain, started in 1991, was designed to authenticate digital documents so that they could not be modified after they were registered. In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto used this technology to create the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. Blockchain, contains very important information, each block of the chain contains mainly 3 elements: The information, for example Bitcoin, would be the information on the transfer of money, we would see the issuer, receiver, time, date, amount, among others. Hash, which is the identification number of the block, so it is unique and unrepeatable, every time a new block is created a new Hash is calculated. Hash of the previous block, so each block is linked to the previous block and the successor block. An important thing about the Blockchain is that it is unhackable or extremely difficult to do so, so the Hash that has unique information of the block, if the information of the block changes the Hash will also change, additionally this is constantly audited, if you try to change the information of a block, to be linked to the next, the information of the Hash would change creating an error, forming an invalid chain, as there was a connection with different information. Each blockchain user has a copy of the database, all this makes that the certification and security of the data is given by the users themselves, which are millions of people. Photo By: IT Renting https://itrenting.com/que-es-blockchain/ **How can more and more users be kept on the Blockchain?** **First:** The same people who rely on this technology and maintain it. **Second:** They have economic interests, being the miners responsible for creating new blocks. To create new blocks you have to solve very complex mathematical problems, this is achieved with specialized hardware, the miners make this technology available, once the mathematical problem is solved the block is added. The other members of the network certify the veracity of the correct solution, so the miner who made the answer is given the cryptocurrency. **Uses of Blockchain** It serves to store any type of records, they can be banking, medical records, also in cryptocurrency transactions, it can be used for the election of a president, in contract signatures or in the creation of digitized works of art. To exemplify this we could use our educational records, that is, all the information that rests in the records of the Ministry of Education. If I travel to another country to give a lecture, the only thing I would have to present would be my ID or passport, the people in charge would verify that all the information registered in real time in the Ministry of Education is correct to access the lecture. If you liked this information you can share it with other people that you think are interested in learning new subjects.

“Rondas” (Traditional Venezuelan Songs and Games) Some time ago I read @Pichi's article titled Tunes from Childhood Days, committing myself to publish this article, I hope you enjoy it. https://read.cash/@Pichi28/tunes-from-childhood-days-4a4b76dc#comment-89cc432c The traditional games where chants are made are the Rondas, depending on the country and locality present several differences in the lyrics, among these are: **Rice pudding** It is a popular game where both girls and boys participate, making a wheel holding hands, leaving one in the center, which is pointing with his finger while singing, at the end of the song enters the boy or girl who points. It is said that it has more than 100 years of creation, of unknown author, apparently it originated from a French song of the XIV century, but the lyrics were probably written in Spain at the beginning of the XX century.  This song is part of the Latin American Iberian folklore. **Lyrics:** Rice pudding,                                                                                                                  I want to marry                                                                                                        with a lady from the capital who knows how to sew,                                                                                          who knows how to embroider                                                                                who sets the table in its holy place.

You can see the recipe in the following link: Arroz con Leche https://www.recetasderechupete.com/arroz-con-leche-cremoso-receta-tradicional/22093/ **The Sea Viper** Is a game of Spanish origin, which spread throughout the Latin American continent. In this game you must form a line, all holding each other. Two other children should be holding hands but upwards, making an arc, previously have been put names of fruits. Then the children in the line will sing without letting go passing under the hands of the two children, they lower their hands and catch one and ask which of the two fruits you like and is placed behind the corresponding one, passing all then pull from one side to the other. **Lyrics:** To the viper, the sea viper, of the sea they can pass this way, those in front run a long way and those behind will stay behind, behind, behind, behind, behind. A Venezuelan woman who sold fruit plum, apricot, melon or watermelon.

"Majestic Turimiquire", a visit to the Throne of the Gods. (Part 3) In the first part, I describe how we arrived to the sector known as "Monte Oscuro" after 10 hours of donkey riding, pictures of the journey are shown. Puedes verlo en el siguiente enlace: Throne of the Gods 1 https://read.cash/@Frankmart/majestic-turimiquire-a-visit-to-the-throne-of-the-gods-part-1-4ec56934 In the second part, I describe the visit to several coffee producers, some photos of their houses, the coffee cultivation, a week of agrarian inspection, after loading in the system, the institution delivers a document that confirms the permanence of the producers in the area, that they can be granted agricultural credits to improve their crops. You can see it in the following link: Throne of the Gods 2 https://read.cash/@Frankmart/majestic-turimiquire-a-visit-to-the-throne-of-the-gods-part-2-5ceb78da Once the work was done, we gathered again around a campfire, this time they brought an accordion, maracas, a bottle of liquor that lasted only a moment, these people drink a lot of liquor and very often, they gave drinks to each one practically without stopping. Then someone went out to buy in one of the nearby houses, at night, without light and walking, he arrived after 2 hours with about 3 liters of rum, we stayed until midnight, we had to rest to leave in the morning. We left early in the morning towards the city, all happy for the goal achieved. Continue taking pictures of the immensity of the mountain, it was all cloudy and cold, from time to time the sky cleared making the road clearer and again it was cloudy hiding the sun. On the road we found the corpse of a horse that had fallen from the top of the mountain, according to the comments it was wandering for a few days and could not be saved, now I feel a little unsure of the road. Sometimes the animals get off the trail and you have to herd them to get them back. I could see in the distance one of the sites I visited Cerro Grande, covered by a cloud that is dissipating as the sun is taking over the place. We moved on quickly, the morning was very cool, a morning dew fell on us, praying that it would not rain, because there is no place to take shelter and I was enjoying the cloudy mountain. I found several species that caught my attention, among them a turpial that was found wounded, orchids, fungi that grow on the stems of the plants due to the high humidity of the forest, other species of plants that I do not know. It was about 10 am and everything was cloudy, arriving at the Cerro La Bandera, I took this picture that I found beautiful. Stop as usual at the Cerro La Bandera, to have breakfast, rest a few minutes and continue on the road, other photos of the city of Cumana. We continue descending, several hours have passed, the sun begins to warm up and there are no clouds, we begin to hear the running of the waters of the Tataracual River, we have been 30 minutes since we heard the river and we do not see it, we are still far away, finally we see the river but there are still hours to go. We had been about 6 hours without having seen a house, near the river we see a house, it seems that we are close, but we reach the site 45 minutes later, we go down slowly there are many stones on the road, the animals sometimes have to jump, we must be well secured to avoid falling, the roads are very narrow. We arrived at the place called Sabaneta, the place where we stayed to sleep to start our tour, there lunch was waiting for us, although we had no telephone communication, these producers were waiting for us with everything prepared. We took the loads off the animals so that they could rest a little, because we had to continue for about 50 minutes more until we reached the town of Tataracual, where the vehicles were waiting for us to return to the city of Cumaná. So far our visit, I hope you enjoyed the reading. Thank you for visiting. All content is original. You can leave a comment to interact with this experience. Happy day to you. **Saturday, October 02, 2021**
