August 1, 2021
Another month has ended and here comes a new one. The flashback of July is not so great, yet, it ended with one big blow. And here we are, enjoying the ride with the bull. Sorry for those who have placed their sell orders earlier than the arrival of the bull, lol. How's the ride with July? Arduous or smooth? Going up or down? Heading sideways or straight?
But I guess we all have passed by the complicated road, and even dived deep in the Pacific Ocean, and climbed up the Mt Mayon 😅, not Mt Everest of course, as we still have a long way to go to reach the summit and once we are there, we can finally skyrocket to the moon. Cheers to us when it happens!
Snap!
Let's go back to reality and end the fantasy.
It's been more than a month since I tackled something about crypto. The last one was on June 22 and it was about the "Death Cross" effect.

Prior to this uncertainty, there were several FUDs circulated in the crypto world and it started with a simple tweet of the influential man, Elon Musk, about the suspension of Bitcoin in the TESLA operations, including the more strict regulations of Biden administration against Bitcoin, and China's crackdown to Bitcoin mining and other crypto transactions.
Since then, I was demotivated to engage in crypto stuff, like trading, reading the latest crypto news, collecting NFTs, joining crypto writing contests and giveaways, and seldom do mining on Stormgain. I really had a big break from them and focused more on personal stuff. But since the market is getting back on track, I was inspired to go with the trend as well.
Let's be more productive in August!
The Flashback of July
The first day of the month was too positive because after updating my crypto portfolio, I found out that I have accumulated 10 BCH in six months of blogging, making noise, trading, and from other DeFi investments.
You can check it from here:
10 BCH In Six Months Of Blogging, Making Noise, Trading, Lending, And Drops
But what surprised me the first morning of July was sir @MarcDeMesel 's appearance on my notification. I received another blessing from him and the biggest tip for this month, by far.
Bitcoin Cash on the other hand had a roller coaster ride for the whole month of July. According to CoinGecko, BCH is 2.9% up from July 1 to 30, at the time of writing.
We felt relieved when BCH was maintaining its track at the resistance level above $500 in the first few days of July. However, fear started to show up when the market's stability was shaken and the trend continued to go down, and up, and plunge below $400.
Many feared its drastic drop, however, many were positive about that because it was only the sign that the bull was coming. You can check the graph of how it continued to surge after the dip. You can also click the photo to directly check BCH's status on CoinGecko.
And at the time of writing (July 30 @3 pm), BCH and the crypto market were doing great and the bull was still inevitable and leading the rally. Hoping that it will continue to go up and won't touch the bottom again after this bull market.
There are more signs that the bull will continue to lead the runway from this month onwards. You can check this article of @Eybyoung regarding the latest news on the crypto world.
Along with the red trend comes the red moments. There was so much noise inside and outside this platform due to the Plagiarism issue. Humiliation, accusation, discrimination, and racism flooded the platform affecting innocent individuals.
But the good side of this is the lessons learned from the issue and how we respond to the situation without ruining other people's shoes or degrading others, unlike the accusers. This only shows that we are responsible individuals and not kindergartens anymore.
And most importantly, users are now doing the right thing to avoid the same issue again and with respect to the platform's rules as well. It is not the error that counts here, but we respond to it.

But once and for all, to end this issue, let's be responsible. But we are not OCs here that will be checking all articles all the time and not all of us have the spare time to do that. It is much better to just check your work with any plagiarism checker before posting them (although not all results are accurate so it is also important to manually check the content before jumping into conclusion. It's quite a hassle though especially if we know that our content came from our own sweat and thoughts and is not copied elsewhere.
But for the sake of this platform, let's just do the right thing that a responsible writer should do. Let's stop plagiarism and be authentic in anything we do. We may have mistakes in the past, but we still have chances to correct them. This platform is not a playground where kindergartens can throw stones at each other. If you think someone is breaking the rules, do not bark at his/her tree, rather, press that report button and let the admin do his works. Stop the racism, criticism, and fighting here, be a responsible individual and let's make this platform a peaceful yet joyful community!
The month started with good vibes and ended with a better one since the market is performing well on this last week of July. Lessons have been learned, and more BCH has been accumulated.
What's new?
The only constant thing in this world is "change" and it has become part of this platform, as well as the crypto world, and our perspectives and actions.
New Banner
What banner is this?
If before we are seeing the user's banner at the end of the article, because of the recent plagiarism issue, it is normal now to see the plagiarism checker's result at the end of the article. Perhaps, this recent issue give an impact on everyone and is something that we should take seriously.
However, checkers aren't perfect so it is much better to manually judge the content and not just rely on the checkers before jumping to conclusions. And most importantly, STOP degrading and criticizing others because we aren't perfect individuals and we all have flaws and mistakes. Resolve the issue using your mind, not your emotions.
Readcash tipping system
In the last quarter of the month, we have seen changes in readcash tipping system. A bug infiltrated the system, and since then, I have noticed Rusty's presence every day. Was it even a bug? Or was it because they were fixing the system that's why there was a bug.
Was the effect positive or negative?
In my personal view, it's positive, but for some, it isn't. It's positive because all articles are now receiving upvotes from the bot. Unlike before, the bot was only stuck in some articles, and many articles were not receiving upvotes from him, just like mine, @Eybyoung @bmjc98, and other old user's articles on this platform. The bot's appearance was like every other day in our spot while all articles of other users were all receiving upvotes.
It became negative for others because the tipping pattern became unusual and the amount per article decreases as well, unlike before where many articles were receiving $10-$30 per article.
The system is now trying to neutralize the tipping and trying to distribute the tips to all posted articles, NOT just in selected articles (but still, low-rated users and spammers are not getting upvotes). If you will observe the system, the bot is giving upvotes to articles simultaneously, and articles posted from 3 days ago up to date are consistently receiving upvotes every day. The amount varies from article to article and might be different compared before. But at the end of three days, the small upvotes will be accumulated and become bigger. And that is according to my observations.
If before, I was receiving upvotes from the bot every other day, I have noticed that, after the changes, the bot is always present now, which is better than the previous tipping system. And I noticed that not only in my account but also in other users' accounts.
It doesn't matter actually, for as long as other users are still supporting our works, let's continue writing and inspiring readers.
What's more?
I'm Trading once again
Alright! I'm back on track and trading once again. It has been more than a month that I did not do trading because of the recent FUDs. However, I have regretted not trading and it was late for me to realize that the volatility of the recent market was actually the perfect opportunity to accumulate more crypto since the trend was going up and down, and if you will go along with it, for sure, you'll gain more.
But I got fear and chose to HODL than to spend and trade.
It's not too late though as every day is always an opportunity. You just need to learn how to dive in and dive out from the crypto market. So last July 27, I retrieved some BCH from my Binance savings account and placed them on the Spot Trading account.
My 0.40 BCH was sold at $515 and bought at $485 and gained 0.02434 BCH during the first trade.
When the market goes up again, I placed another order and sold 0.42 BCH at $538 and placed another buy order at $520 but still waiting for it to be hit until now, lol. The market is doing great so I guess it will take more days for the price to dump again.
The profit may be small but better than getting nothing.
Let's break BCH down
Another month has ended and another crypto portfolio updates. I hated doing this stuff as I find it hassle 😅. But I need to be organized and this is the only way to check if my investment is growing or not, as well as my earnings.
Noisecash earnings for July
The tipping system on noisecash has also changed, but much better this time compared to last June. From 0.18353384. BCH last June, I earned a total of 0.42500383 BCH this month of July.
Readcash earnings for July
The start of the month was great when I received a generous upvote from sir Marc, but the bot made absences and I even thought that my earnings won't reach $100 by the end of the month. But because of the changes, I was able to save more than my expectation.
So the total BCH I gained for this month is 0.37681033 BCH.
So the total BCH I earned this month of July is 0.80181416 BCH.
Achievements
16 Sponsors
Every day and every month is another achievement for me. But apart from these BCH earnings, I also want to express my gratitude to my 16 sponsors:
80 Beneficiaries
Yes, that's 80 and still counting, but if you are doubt with this number, just try to count how many blocks with my face on it. I feel happy every time I can give new sponsorships to others especially to newbies and those who are not earning that much from the bot. And this is my only way to show appreciation and to motivate the users to continue writing and to pursue their goals to save more BCH.
And I'm proud of these three ladies who continued writing because of my sponsorship. @Bloghound @FarmGirl @emily2u. I've met these three ladies on noisecash and ever since, I'm always inspired by their posts. Before, they were not active here and doesn't even have a lot of readers nor sponsors, and subscribers. But look at them now, they are great writers of readcash and two of them are on top tippers, with more readers and subscribers. Who would have thought that the small cents will inspire them to continue writing?
I may don't have the biggest sponsorship payment here, but at least, I'm inspiring others because of that small amount.
Top 3 Tippers
What's more amazing is to see my name on the top 3 tippers and just one step closer to our legend man, sir Marc. I wouldn't be able to do this if not because of the generous tips of sir Marc and other users here, as well as the bot.
1241 Subscribers
More numbers have been added to my subscribers. Thank you, guys.
And to my loyal and supportive readers, thank you so much 😘. You guys are the reason why I am continuing to write despite difficulties and a hectic schedule at work.
Let's be positive August!
Let's all hope that this month will gonna be the start of a stable crypto market and more friends, knowledge, experiences, and BCH to come 😁.
Be ready for the bull!
Thanks for your time.
July is full of achievements, I had a great experience. It is full of accumulation! It was my 2 BCH month. Nakapasok ka pala sa top 3 tippers congrats!
