Vacation Spots I would love to visit
Since the pandemic started last year, I was not really able to visit any places outside of my city. I was stocked in Baguio most of the time. I have no complains though because Baguio is such a wonderful place. But I guess I am just used seeing the same places everyday.
There are places I would love to visit when this pandemic ends. Some are located internationally and some are just here in the Philippines. I would love to share what are those places.
Vigan/Vigan City

I have been to Vigan once in my life. And I sure enjoyed every minute of it. That was on 2018 when I visited the place. The places is just so historic just like how people described it. There's so much to explore. Every street should not be missed and you really need to maximize the time when you are visiting Vigan. I think the corn products were my favorite.
*Vigan is an island, which used to be detached from the mainland by three rivers – the great Abra River, the Mestizo River and the Govantes River. It is unique among the Philippine towns because it is the country’s most extensive and only surviving historic city that dates back to the 16th century Spanish colonial period.*
*Vigan was an important coastal trading post in pre-colonial times. Long before the Spanish galleons, Chinese junks sailing from the South China Sea came to Isla de Bigan through the Mestizo River that surrounded the island. On board were sea-faring merchants that came to barter exotic goods from Asian kingdoms in exchange for gold, beeswax and other mountain products brought down by natives from the Cordilleras. Immigrants, mostly Chinese, settled in Vigan, intermarried with the natives and started the multi-cultural bloodline of the Bigueños.*

Palawan

Another legendary place to visit. I loved looking picture of Palawan through the internet. I was so fascinated by it. The water, the sand, and the caves are holy grails. It is a really blessed place. I want to experience the feeling of being able to step in the beautiful place of Palawan.
*Palawan, one of the best places to visit in the Philippines, is consistently ranked as one of the best islands in the world, and for a good reason.*
*It boasts white sand beaches and islands, clear blue waters, a spectacular variety of marine life and shipwreck sites, and majestic towering limestone cliffs. If you love swimming, island-hopping, and diving, this biggest island province in the Philippines should be in your travel bucket list.*
*Palawan has over 1,700 pristine islands and islets scattered in its four main destinations: El Nido, Puerto Princesa, Coron, and San Vicente.*

Boracay

You already might assumed that I love beaches because I totally do. Beaches are my safe haven. This is the place where I can have a peace of mind and where I can fully relax my body and soul. Its been a long time since I was able to visit one. But when this pandemic will be over, Boracay will be on the top of my list.
**Boracay** ([bɔˈrakaɪ]) is a small island in the Philippines, 7 km long and 1 km wide, located in the Western Visayas approximately 315 kilometres (196 miles) south of Manila and about 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi) off the northwest tip of Panay Island.

Tagaytay

Tagaytay has been always claimed as the Baguio City on NCR. We can all agree that places under Benguet has such hot weather. But not in Tagaytay. People say that its just like Baguio City but I kinda doubt it in some extent. I think thats why I really wanted to visit the place to feel what its like to be in Tagaytay.
*City of Tagaytay is a component city in the province of Cavite, in the Philippines. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations because of its outstanding scenery and cooler climate provided by its high altitude. Tagaytay overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas and provides one of the iconic views of the Philippines, the view of Taal Volcano Island in the middle of the lake, viewable from several vantage points in the city.*

These are just some of the places I really wanted to visit. Hopefully, sooner or later, this pandamic will end.
So it seems like Rusty is back. A lot of articles are being published now. 😂
Song Genre I Listen To
I am such an avid fan of music since the beginning of life. Although, I do not know how to sing. Ironic right? But, I cannot just live without music. I listen to music every single day especially when I am travelling for business or leisure.
The type of music I listen to depends on what's my mood for that very moment or what time of day it is. Since I am scheduled for work on graveyard shift, my day becomes my night.
Also, music just lightened up my mood. If I feel something heavy in my chest, I always play some music. But I do not love all music. There are my favorites. It is classified by genre and I will list some of my go to's.
Pop Music
I think this genre is the most popular one. Its the genre of most of the new artists. My favorite and best singer of this genre is Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes and Litte Mix.
**Pop Music Definition**
*Pop music is a sub-genre of popular music. Pop music may be distinguished from classical or art music and from folk music, but since the term spans many rock, hip hop, rhythm and blues (R&B), country, dance and operatic pop acts, it is reasonable to say that “pop music” is a loosely defined category.*
**Source**: Koop https://koop.org/shows/genres-definitions/#:~:text=Pop%20Pop%20music%20is%20a,is%20a%20loosely%20defined%20category.
Blues
This genre often relates to older people but I just like it so much. Its tempo is just so good and its mostly sang by African-American singers.
**Blues Definition**
*A vocal and instrumental form of music based on a pentatonic scale and a characteristic twelve-bar chord progression, blues evolved from African American spirituals, shouts, work songs and chants that found its earliest stylistic roots in West Africa. Blues has been a major influence on later American and Western popular music, finding expression in ragtime, jazz, big band, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, country music, conventional pop songs and even modern classical music.*
**Source**: Koop https://koop.org/shows/genres-definitions/#:~:text=Pop%20Pop%20music%20is%20a,is%20a%20loosely%20defined%20category.
Classical
Another genre that I love listening to. Classical music is actually pretty boring to be honest. I listen to this genre of music if I will be going to bed. It just relaxes me and help me to sleep better.
**Classical Music Definition**
*Classical music is generally a classification covering music composed and performed by professionally trained artists. Classical music is a written tradition. It is composed and written using music notation, and as a rule is performed faithfully to the score. In common usage, “classical music” often refers to orchestral music in general, regardless of when it was composed or for what purpose (film scores and orchestral arrangements on pop music recordings, for example).*
**Source**: Koop https://koop.org/shows/genres-definitions/#:~:text=Pop%20Pop%20music%20is%20a,is%20a%20loosely%20defined%20category.
Club/Dance
This is the total opposite of Classical music for me. Because it has a fast beat and fast tempo. It just wakes your body. I played this genre whenever I am cleaning the house or doing something that need to immediately finished.
**Club/Dance Definition**
*Music composed, played, or both, specifically to accompany social dancing, though from the late 1970s, the term “dance music” has come to refer (in the context of nightclubs) more specifically to electronic music such as disco, house, techno and trance. Generally, the difference between a disco, or any dance song, and a rock or general popular song is that in dance music the bass hits “four to the floor” at least once a beat (which in 4/4 time is 4 beats per measure), while in rock the bass hits on one and three and lets the snare take the lead on two and four.*
**Source**: Koop https://koop.org/shows/genres-definitions/#:~:text=Pop%20Pop%20music%20is%20a,is%20a%20loosely%20defined%20category.
and lastly ...
Country Music
Of all these genres, Country music is my favorite. The story that country music has is so narrative that its just like a short story. There are a lot of singer who are great in this genre. Some of them are Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and a lot more.
**Country Music Definition**
*Once known as Country & Western music, this music form is developed mostly in the southern United States of America, with roots in traditional folk music, spirituals and blues.*

read.cash Developers: Why are accounts being spammed?
I am writing this article to clear my confusions and not to question the process. I am a bit frustrated because I already have two accounts on read.cash that was tagged as spam. I don't know the reason why so I wrote this article hoping that someone can clear this out for me.
I created my first account last January 21. I published more or less three articles on that account. These articles were never visited by Rusty. So I asked some of my friends here and they told me that my account is spammed. It seems that accounts that are spammed will never get an upvote from TheRandomRewarder. At first it was okay for me because I can always create new one. And so I did. That was on the 27th of January when I signed up for my second account. It was so perfect because I immediately gained a lot of subscribers on that account and I was able to receive upvotes from Rusty. That account is 3 weeks old now. It was going fine until one day, it was spammed again for whatever reason. Now that's the time I questioned why are accounts being spammed just like that. As far as I know, my published articles are well-written and my comments on other articles really is related to the posts. And I don't remember doing something that could lead for my account to be spammed.
So now I am wondering, why is account being spammed? Is it something to do with the published articles? Or the comments left on posts? Or is it because of inactivity?
I really need to know this just not for me but also for everyone who's accounts were spammed as well. You could say that we can always create a new one but its not just gonna work. I mean, we already build connections with other users using those accounts. Creating a new one just let you go back to zero. We need to established our account again.
Also, we worked hard for those accounts. The contents we published in there just don't mean anything anymore. The people who spend dollars to sponsor us because they saw something in us just went to waste. It is a really a frustrating matter for me and for everyone whos accounts were spammed. We spend time and effort to create articles worthy of this platform and now it vanishes just like that.
I am suggesting for the developers of this platform like Mr @MarcDeMesel to at least publish an article relating to spammed accounts. We need to know what are things to avoid so that we cannot experience being spammed again. This is just a simple request from a nobody but hoping that it would be heard.
So this account is the third one that I created here on read.cash. I am really hoping that it would not be tagged as spam ever again. Hopefully!
Thank you to user @Ellie for giving me a generous upvote. God bless you. 😊
My Top Three Cryptocurrency
As time pass by, the number of cryptocurrency is increasing wildly. There are numerous of airdrops that is happening in a lot of social platforms such as Telegram and Whatsapp. But, I do not patronize these "free token/coins" anymore because most of the time, its a scam. In my experience, after ICOs, these airdrop are nowhere to be found. Although, you can always join them but its not a guarantee that you will be really rewarded.
That is why I sticked with established coins. I have a lot that I like but I am just going to list the three that I trust the most.
These coins/tokens that I will list are my personal favorites!
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Of course, Bitcoin Cash will always be at the top of my list even though I just started patronizing BCH when I joined read.cash and noise.cash. The potential is of BCH is just limitless. At the time of writing this article, the current value of BCH is at PHP 28,000. That is not so bad! I HODL a decent amount BCH a month ago but unfortunately, I was forced to sell them all because I encountered a financial situation. But now that its all solved, I will really try to HODL BCH again.
**BCH Background/Information**
*"Bitcoin cash is a cryptocurrency created in August 2017, from a fork of Bitcoin.1 Bitcoin Cash increased the size of blocks, allowing more transactions to be processed and improving scalability.*
*The cryptocurrency underwent another fork in November 2018 and split into Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV (Satoshi Vision).2 Bitcoin Cash is referred to as Bitcoin Cash because it uses the original Bitcoin Cash client. "*

Ripple (XRP)
Image Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(payment_protocol)#/media/File%3ARipple_logo.svg
Ripple or most commonly known as XRP is the second coin I adored after Bitcoin. Thats was back 2019 when I really maximized the used XRP. Just like BCH, XRP has a very low transaction fee.
To be honest, I used XRP to gamble before. I joined a lot of online casinos and XRP is the coin I used to bet. I gained some and lost some as well, but that was an experience to learn from and hopefully I am not going to repeat in the future.
**XRP Background/Information**
*"Ripple is a technology that acts as both a cryptocurrency and a digital payment network for financial transactions. It was first released in 2012 and was co-founded by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb.*
*The coin for the cryptocurrency is premined and labeled XRP."*
**Source**: Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/ripple-cryptocurrency.asp
Litecoin (LTC)
Image Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litecoin#/media/File%3A6_Full_Logo_S-2.png
Of these three I listed, Litecoin is my least used coin. I was fascinated by it in just a while. I also HODL some LTC before. I included Litecoin here in this list because out of all the cryptocurrency I invest in, LTC gave me the most profit. It as still a good coin right now. I actually contemplating if I would HODL some again.
**Litecoin Background/Information**
*"Launched in the year 2011, Litecoin is an alternative cryptocurrency based on the model of Bitcoin. Litecoin was created by an MIT graduate and former Google engineer named Charlie Lee. Litecoin is based on an open source global payment network that is controlled by any central authority. Litecoin differs from Bitcoins in aspects like faster block generation rate and use of scrypt as a proof of work scheme."*
**Source**: Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/litecoin.asp
You might not look at these coins the way I do but I believe that these coins are some of the cryptocurrencies that are safe to invest in.
Bitcoin is overrated: Switch to Bitcoin Cash
I was introduced to the world of cryptocurrency when I was about 15 or 16 years old. That was around 2014 or 2015. That was my last year of high school. I can still remember using our very old Asus netbook and claiming a lot of free satoshis back then. Yes! I was one of those people who used Free Faucets before.
Its actually funny now that I am thinking about it. There are almost 10 tabs on my google chrome browser. Each one is logged in a free faucet site. The interval, as far as I can remember, is 5 minutes. Some are 1 minute but the amount of satoshis are also lesser. Coinpot was so popular back then. The satoshis accumulated goes to the Coinpot wallet. It really made me happy when I was able to make 2000 satoshis every hour of nonstop claming. I do not understand why because the value of 2000 satoshis that time is very low. May be I just really appreciate small things and its also because I don't have anything as well. I mean financially.
There's no doubt and we cannot deny that Bitcoin was such a big thing before. Yes! I am using the word *before*. Because its time is almost done. It might be rising in terms of value but you how Bitcoin works. When you think you hit the jackpot, it just goes down in your face.
**That is why I decided to put Bitcoin in the past and embraced Bitcoin Cash. Because I really believe that BCH is the future of Cryptocurrency.**
_____________________
**~~Bitcoin is Overrated!~~** **Bitcoin Cash is Underrated!**
_____________________
Warning! Do not patronize Bitcoin if I were you. Its not a safe coin to invest in now.
You might still think that Bitcoin will send you to the moon but you are wrong. One of these days, you will be disappointed by it. I am not a cryptocurrency guru or whatnot but basing it to my experience, I think I have a say about it.
Bitcoin is on its peak right now but always remember what Isaac Newton said: "Everything that goes up, must come down."
There are a lot of things that makes Bitcoin Cash better than Bitcoin. I saw this creative meme created by @MoreGainStrategies. Its just says it all.
_____________________
Lets starts with the Transaction Time.
_____________________
I believe you have tried to send Bitcoin from one wallet to another. Can you tell me how long the transaction was completed? It takes forever! I have my own experiences about transfering Bitcoin from my main wallet to an exchanger and oh boy, it took 18 hours for it to be transferred.
When you are in a rush to buy altcoins in a certain exchanger because its pumping and all you have is BTC in your main wallet, do not even try to transfer it already because you will miss the chance of buying that particular altcoin. You know what I mean? You will miss the chance of buying altcoins because of the long transaction time of Bitcoin.
On the other hand, Bitcoin Cash is the opposite. We all know how fast transactions are made with BCH. You do not have to worry because its takes no time for you to send BCH from wallet to wallet.
_____________________
~~Bitcoin has a sky-high transaction fees~~ while Bitcoin Cash just charge a cent.
_____________________
This is also one of the annoying things about Bitcoin. The super high transaction fees! I can't even imagine how high would it still go. It seems like the transaction fees is even higher comparing it to the amount of Bitcoin you are trying to send. Unbelievable!
Can you still remember when the transaction fee of Bitcoin spiked at almost 60USD on 2017? That is for every single transaction. I think just by looking at that number, this coin is not something to look into. That happened before and it will happen again.
**Comparing that again to Bitcoin Cash? I pity Bitcoin users.**
BCH doesn't have high transaction fees. It just ranges to 0.05USD to 0.1USD. That is based on my experience. I do not even need to worry about it because its too low that you cannot notice it.
**These are just two things why Bitcoin Cash is way better than Bitcoin. You still have time to think. But if I were you, its time to switch from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash.**
Stop Looking for Mr. De Mesel
I know that you know how generous Mr. De Mesel can be. If you have seen the boosted articles, you might have noticed the one tipped with $10,000 worth of Bitcoin Cash. That's a lot of BCH. Its so crazy!
To those people who doesn't have a clue about it. This is what I am referring to.
Let's be honest, you have tried to create an article as closed to the one that was massively tipped. I mean, who wouldn't right? Maybe Mr. De Mesel might see it and tipped you as well. The thing is, you don't need to. You don't have to. Being tipped by Mr. De Mesel comes randomly. If he liked it, then you are lucky. You can be $10,000 richer. Him seeing your article is already a great achievement if you'll ask me. I believe its all about preference and impact. I know you're smart enough that you know what I mean.
But don't get your hopes. It doesn't mean that if you will publish an article same as the one that was tipped will guarantee you a $10,000 worth of BCH. That's not how it works. Believe me. I have seen a lot of articles that was posted in this platform right after the generous tipped that happened. Their expectations were not really met. Just think about it, read.cash is getting bigger and bigger each day. The number of users is growing higher as the hour go. That means lesser chances of being noticed by the Mr. De Mesel.
Although, I am not hindering you to try your luck. You can always do it and take a shot in the dark. Who knows right? May be the article that you will publish is so interesting that it is worth a thousand bucks. You can always try. Be brave and do it. There's no harm in trying.
But if you are a newbie like me who doesn't have a huge following such as the other writers here in this platform, we could always wait for Rusty. He's not that generous as Mr. De Mesel but he's not that cheap either. I see Rusty like as the *son* of Mr. De Mesel. I mean in context, they are both genereous being.
You might be confused on who Rusty is. I think you know him. Rusty is the TheRandomRewarder. He is the bot. The most generous bot I have ever met. Rusty actually has one article which may help you on how to create an article that will meet his preference. You have to check it out. Here is the link to the article: Have I Tipped You? https://read.cash/@TheRandomRewarder/have-i-tipped-you-a12541ca
`What I am trying to say here is, limit your expectations. Be who you are. Write something that is close to your heart. In that way, you will be able to showcase your strength and how good your are in writing contents. Just be unique and stay that way forever.`
