November 28, 2021. No. 80
This is my 80th article on read.cash and now I think I can stop calling myself a “newbie”. When I started, a friend had introduced me to noise.cash, and I walked in with the best of intentions and the desire to move forward to create my legacy there. But life takes many turns, and it didn't take long to discover that this other platform existed. Despite what many others think, I like spending time here more than in noise. I feel that read.cash is much more face-to-face, despite obviously being virtual. But the harmony that is reflected in its communities, the way you interact with other users, the quality of the articles, the passion of each and every word written here, make me love it much more than any other platform. I prefer a thousand times, to think about an article, pamper it and translate it here, even if it takes 2 or 3 hours to prepare than to put a 6-line post in noise. Just the 6-line post does not come out, I can't find the reason for this, but I don't have the faintest idea how to get it right there. A bit strange isn't it? It should be easy for someone who writes 1000 words for an article, who just opens Word and starts typing, to be able to write a few useful lines. Well, in my case, it doesn't.
Despite everything, I have tried. And many of you know that I spent a little more time this month. But I just think it's not for me. I am very sorry that this is happening to me because I recognize that another BCH entry that could eventually help me faster to achieve my dream of 1 BCH. I recognize the quality of the platform, and that it is making many happy, but it is not my case. At the moment I have not opened it for 2 days. Since the chambers were removed I have felt lost. Is it like the article published "Who moved my cheese?". I am being a victim of myself. They moved the cheese on me and I didn't know how to evolve. I am human, I am not perfect, although many times in these lines I always have messages of encouragement and big dreams, sometimes I feel like this, frustrated.
I told my friend to join read.cash then. He answered me what almost everyone says: "Takes too much time, I prefer noise." Well, everyone to his own taste. I understand it, the time consumed by this platform is enormous. It hasn't been easy since I started. Do any of you read approximately 40-50 articles a day? Trying to comment on all of them or leave your mere presence on them, and always click the thumbs up button? Obvious if the article is worth it, these days I have been reading the read.cash rules for beginners again. We should read them every so often, so we always keep them in mind.
Well, spending that always in front of the mobile or the computer can be extremely long. We talked about hours of reading articles and more articles. Add to this that you need to work, take care of the family, sleep, eat, rest. One day even came when I felt a strong pain in my left arm. An inflamed tendon was extremely painful. Undoubtedly it was due to the long exposure to reading on the mobile, literally connected 24 hours a day. When I say 24 hours, it is because it was 24 hours. Sleeping with your cell phone with mobile data on, by your side. Get up for a second and the first thing you do is check the platform to comment on an article. Over time, maturity comes and you learn to rationalize your time and how to be more productive in less time. But always, when you start it is more difficult. The important thing is never to give up.
This brings me to another question: Don't envy the work of others! Doesn't our friend visit you so often? Not earning enough? Your articles do not value you as you think they should? Friend, the solution is simple: work hard. Those who you see have a life made here, it is because they have left their skin on it. If you look at their articles and their length, many publish more than 6 minutes of reading. This is not easy at all. Try it and you will see. On the other hand, they are always active, leaving positive and helpful feedback. There is nothing more painful than seeing a pointless comment on an article. It has also happened to me, that I comment on something that has nothing to do with the article due to a misinterpretation of it, but they have been on rare occasions. But if you are one of those who go through life, thinking you know how to read between the lines, and leaving a comment in the article for what the name of it says, then you will not succeed. Just yesterday, in my article "6 years from that "Yes, I accept", I said that my son was already 5 years old, and many congratulated me on my newborn baby. Do not take it the wrong way, I love that they comment on me in the articles, but as long as it makes a little sense what you say. This is how I think we all feel when we see a totally crazy comment about the original content, or perhaps something else that has nothing to do with us.
An advice. Take some time to read the article. Read the comments of others, and then formulate your own. In case you do not have time to leave a useful comment, nothing happens, it is preferable not to do so than to leave one without meaning, it may affect you in the future.
It has not been easy, nobody said it would be. But I'd rather keep trying to move on. Trying to bring the BCH community to all my friends and acquaintances. Let everyone know that there is a way to generate them and that BCH is the future. Many will say that I am a dreamer, but I am aware that I am not the only one.
PS: Excuse the sincerity of my words, but some things have to be said without hesitation.

You had scared me for a moment! (I understood that you were leaving read.cash).
In my opinion both platforms are very compatible. I am one of those who started on noise.cash and with what was there I had enough to spend hours and hours, proposing dynamics, organizing the channel... (you are invited whenever you want to!)
At the beginning read.cash made me very lazy and I saw it as a support where I could deepen the contents I created in noise.cash. But I think I was wrong and my vision was very myopic. This place is excellent, much more adult, with really brilliant contents.
It requires more effort, of course, and that is precisely its virtue. People who are not willing to do it, or who just don't like to write, stay away or give up. Those who persevere are usually very interesting people with a lot of things to tell, who do not only pursue monetary ends.
But in noise.cash there are also people like that. Honest and with thousands of interesting things to tell. Those people end up writing here too.
They are different platforms, with different audiences. But there is a 'hard core' of users who publish in both. I think people like you are necessary in that 'hard core' that links both platforms and fills them with interesting content.
