Hark Fork 26 Evolution on Hive: Done!
https://read.cash/@Jnavedan/hark-fork-26-evolution-on-hive-done-4360cfdd
As a crypto writer, I need to be agnostic and set aside my own preferences. Of course, being objective in this day and age is difficult at times.
I know there is in this community a preference for Bitcoin Cash, and how to blame them? Bitcoin Cash has a very laudable original purpose.
In any case, between the end of September and October, there have been major updates to important Blockchain protocols such as Ethereum, Cardano, and Ecash.
Today was the Hard Fork 26 Evolution on Hive.
So I decided to write something general about Hard Fork.
As writers of the information age, we should always be on the lookout for the new place where innovation will propel us into the new frontier.
Hive is a relatively new place. So we have yet to see much about its real potential and the creativity of its community of writers, musicians, and artists in general.
I hope that crypto projects of value like bitcoin Cash and others in the same vein will continue to evolve to empower people and lead them to freedom.
Hive operates in the direction of freedom of expression with respect and responsibility.

An inexperienced cook
It is a pity, that he was not a lover of food preparation. Of course, like you, I love good food, but I don't like to prepare it.
Of course, that's something I've recently decided to change. For example, today I helped my wife I will prepare a plate of spaghetti.
Yes, I know that for any housewife it's not much of a science, but for me, whose court was always the street, it's quite a challenge.
When my wife saw the pot full of boiling water at the top she scolded me saying, it's too full and it will spill over when you pour the pasta in.
I smiled and told her, don't worry. Keep doing your business. You'll see!
My secret. Watch videos on the internet and follow the basic recommendations. Boil the water (one liter per 100 grams of pasta), add salt to taste, add the spaghetti and stir gently for 12 to 14 minutes.
A complete success. My wife finished the mission by preparing the sauce and seasoning.
We all ate well. Even my son, who is a picky eater, praised the texture of the pasta.
Of course, I will never intend to compete with my wife. She is the family Chef and I am her apprentice and occasional helper.

"What is worth doing, deserves to be done well ."
Proverb from Israel.
Tell me, in your opinion what is worth doing, and if you could do it.
Well, in a world in chaos. There are sure to be many things to do well, and very few take on the challenge of doing at least one thing well.
Of course, there are also those who are such perfectionists, that nothing seems right to them.
In any case, look around you and do well what deserves to be done well. More than one will thank you for it.

Writer's Ramblings: Report on my writing goals - Week 40
https://read.cash/@Jnavedan/writers-ramblings-report-on-my-writing-goals-week-40-3ea0870a
I just posted on read.cash my most recent article anchored to one from seven days ago.
Meeting goals gives you satisfaction, but evaluating them objectively teaches you a lot about your determination.
A writer is a creative of letters regardless of genre. So setting short-term goals with the one I present in the article may sound dissonant.
5050 words in 26 pieces of writing are not very impressive, nor will it break a Guinness record but I find it stimulating. Of course, the gap in word count goals is almost 30%. Something I need to correct.
So this week I will work on this.
Tell me how do you do it?

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.
Sydney J. Harris
The author of this note was a reputable American journalist who used to end his journalistic writings with insightful aphorisms like the one I bring you today.
Yes, although he did not see the computer boom of now, since he died in 1986, he had the clarity to recognize the real danger underlying the technology.
Moreover, computers already have a route to mimic human thought. But if man detaches himself from emotions, and renounces the soul itself. Then all will be lost.

All I can say about life is: Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
I had never heard of the author of the quote. But since the Web made its entrance into our lives: printed encyclopedias became obsolete.
The mighty Google through Wikipedia now pulls me out of ignorance. Who would think the quote came from a comedian?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Newhart
Bob Newhart is a very long-lived man (93 years old) and therefore somewhat wise. Also, it is well known, that to make others laugh, requires a lot of intelligence and wit.
I guess Mr. Newhart has enjoyed it for more than nine decades. Perhaps the secret to a long life is to laugh at everything. Even at oneself.
Don't forget the comedian's advice, "Enjoy life."

"The sun rises as much for the blade of grass as for the cedar."
Iranian Proverb
It is an undeniable truth based on the laws of nature.
Without the sun, neither the tiny blade of grass nor the towering cedar has a chance to survive. Needless to say, of all other beings regardless of the kingdom they belong to.
Extrapolating this fact to humanity, it is also true in its entirety. Who can escape the implacable laws of nature? Can one prevent the sun from rising to meet us?
Well, unless you are an astronaut of the future and travel to other galaxies. Well, even in infinity, rest assured that you will find other sun brothers fulfilling the same functions as on our beloved earth.
Now, we do not know under what conditions and if also on the planets that the astronaut will visit, enjoy the brimming life as the one under our responsibility, here where the sun rises every morning.

The importance of knowing: Blockchain and its layers
https://read.cash/@Jnavedan/the-importance-of-knowing-blockchain-and-its-layers-affe1849
There is a saying that knowledge is power.
So, consequently, the ignorant are in serious trouble.
In the crypto-verse, it is easy to make mistakes, being a developing field. However, trying to be on the waves will help you to surf them.
You will have heard about layer 1 or 2 solutions. A rather unfamiliar language if you are not an application developer.
Sure, one, initially, is interested in earning cryptos. But no successful investment is made by chance.
So knowing about how the blockchain operates and its respective layers can help you identify projects you can invest in without hesitation.

"'Never' is too much to say."
English proverb.
Well, I don't know in what context this saying was uttered. So I'll think about it for a few more seconds, before proceeding.
Yes, words are superfluous when the situation says it all. The expression never is quite categorical if you judge it wisely.
When you say never, it should never be. But who hasn't sinned of incongruity after saying never?
Before saying never, put your emotions at ease and let reason prevail.

"No one can see his own back."
Indian Proverb
Well, not directly. Although for that, there are mirrors. Of course, to see your back, you'll need at least two.
In any case, relying on the opinion of others can help you see what you can't see for yourself. Not because you are literally blind, but because your prism of reality distorts it.
So, make good friends willing to be your eyes where you can't see.

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Well, the author of this quote is a famous and long-lived (93 years old) American jurist, who lived between the second half of the 19th century and the second half of the 20th century.
So what he wrote had the endorsement of his personal experience and post-mortem legacy.
Yes, over the years, man has been looking for ways to bend the rules.
However, I think it also applies to perfecting them or applying the rules correctly.
Generally, it is widely accepted, the symbol of the blind lady holding a scale in one hand and a sword in the other.
I wonder, how does she apply the exceptions if she does not see?
Well, in any case, learn the exceptions to improve your own morals and ethics and treat others as you would like to be treated.

Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable
Woody Allen
Well! Although this man is a celebrated actor and film director, he is wrong.
Life is beautiful in itself. Too bad many like him don't appreciate it.

After a heavy rain with thunder and lightning.
It had been a long time since I had been soaked. Going out without an umbrella was a big mistake.
Well! Every once in a while a few drops of rain on your head is not a bad thing, but get your socks wet!
Both my wife and our little pet were shivering in the strong breeze.
Well, now dry we look out from the safety of our home at the beautiful horizon. And to think that a few hours earlier, was a little scary.

"Prudence is sometimes a tortoise and a serpent when it thinks it necessary."
Italian Proverb.
Based on the Italian saying prudence operates according to the situation. One must act with due celerity, neither too slow, like the tortoise, nor fast, like the snake.
In any case, prudence is the maxim with which the wise man acts.
I wonder, who would want to resemble a tortoise or a snake?
I prefer to be what I am.

Drabble: Amelia's portrait
He dialogued with the painting of the lady on the wall, bought at the auction, despite his brother's opposition.
In dreams, he chased the lady, calling her Amelia: her nails tore the skin until he woke up bleeding. A nightmare. He fell asleep again.
Alfredo knocked on the door. He used the master key and saw the painting, he heard: Amelia leave me!. He took the painting out of the house and Wilfredo woke up.
Wilfredo donated the painting to the penitentiary, where it belonged. He learned that beauty is not always good.

Bitcoin Cash between disappointment and your decision
https://read.cash/@Jnavedan/bitcoin-cash-between-disappointment-and-your-decision-7417284f
Yesterday, I wrote an opinion piece on the effects of the bear market it produces on the BCH community.
I am an enthusiast of Bitcoin Cash by virtue of the fact that I see that BCH is the essence that started the experiment of a new economy based on cryptocurrency and Blockchain.
However, times are tough in many ways, and it does not exclude the crypto-verse.
I think about this a lot often, and wonder, if it will be worth it.
Well, continuing to believe in BCH or walking away disillusioned is still a choice. One can choose and already this is a gain.
I still believe there is a chance that BCH will, with the competition of other useful projects in the industry, achieve mass adoption and revolutionize the world as we know it.

"With work you get the fire out of the stone."
Dutch proverb.
I've always admired anyone who can start a campfire by banging two stones together.
It may look easy, but if you try, you'll learn that it's not and it takes work and technique.
Well, it seems that everything valuable in life needs work. In that sense, working for your goals is the best way to satisfy, not only your needs but also your desires.
So, work and make fire out of the stones you meet along the way.

Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.
Casey Stengel
Today I am launching an open-source website to generate random quotes.
In noise.cash I usually comment on sayings whose authors are recast in the sands of time, but it would be unfair to bring this daily project here.
So let's innovate and comment together on those thoughts whose authors refuse to be forgotten.
Yes, there are many good players who are prodigious at playing alone, but they do not necessarily know how to behave in a team.
So, the manager has an arduous task in order to bring the individualities together and transform them into a winning team.

Writer's Ramblings: Writing Goals
https://read.cash/@Jnavedan/writers-ramblings-writing-goals-6dd50ca7
What are your writing goals?
Whether you write for a living or just as a hobby, having goals is highly recommended.
We tend to plan goals, but sometimes we fail to execute them and the evaluation reflects poor performance.
Perhaps the problem is that we set our goals too high and forget how we are going to achieve them.
We complain about writer's block, but we don't think about why it happens. Perhaps it is a lack of organization and an environment conducive to the emergence of creativity.
The latter is a good topic for a new post.

"He who knows nothing doubts nothing."
French proverb.
I am in a fix! I know nothing but I have many doubts.
Besides, my memory is not as good as I thought it was. I have read a few books, and I have a vague notion of their contents. So, for some reason, surely physiological, this makes some sense.
Perhaps therein lie the causes of my doubts.
What I don't doubt is that I know nothing. And you?

Rainbow
According to Judeo-Christian beliefs, the rainbow is the celestial sign given to man after the universal flood.
A week ago, I witnessed a large and beautiful rainbow streaking across the eastern sky.
No doubt, it is a beautiful and ephemeral sign that the storm is over.

Today is the first Sunday of the month. That is, a day to put in order what I intend to do during the week.
I know there are those who share here, their achievements during the month that is ending. An excellent way to review the progress towards the goals they have set for themselves.
However, I don't do it for reasons of trying to lead a more relaxed life. I confess that it is a chaotic and sometimes stressful but ultimately creative philosophy of life.
I think I need to find the balance to channel my life more productively.
My purpose is within reach, I just need to avoid bad habits, such as procrastination, and put into practice those that will take me to the next level.
Perhaps, I will share some goals for this October. That way, I can create a commitment to myself and be able to check it at the beginning of next month.

"Don't worry about who will work your vineyards after you die."
French Proverb.
Death is a subject we tend to avoid during life. But she is always there, right beside you.
However, worrying about what we will leave behind when we depart is pointless. Instead, occupy yourself with your true legacy. At the very least, in being remembered by your family and friends for the good you did in life.
For material things, there are Wills. Although, there are those who leave their debts to others. So try to always be solvent with your creditors.

"If the same man cheats you twice, you deserve ruin."
American Proverb.
Surely, giving a second chance to someone who has let you down is an act of recklessness or naivety.
Sure, I believe in someone being able to redeem themselves, but there are so many scoundrels out there that the likelihood of them cheating you again is high.
So, if you're going to give someone else a second chance, it's because you prove your goodness, not your naivety.
If he relapses, throw him away for good. In the end, this one will get what he deserves without you procuring his evil.
You will have proved yourself worthy and kind to a certain limit, and the scoundrel exhausted the opportunity to redeem himself by coming closer to his own evil.

In crypto verse, your habits define who you are

Wow! Yesterday I wrote a crazy article in read.cash.
I just got carried away with my random thoughts pounding in my head to get out.
I imagined myself living in the Metaverse but in the crypto suburb.
I realized that there, I would carry my identity even if it was hidden in an avatar. And that my habits in the natural world would migrate to the virtual one but without limitations of physical laws.
Sounds great. But I also realized that the crypto-verse is just a complementary extension of my place in the world.
In that sense, the heart of the matter, whether in the natural or digital context, is to be the best version of yourself. So, adopting good habits and eradicating bad ones leads us to the goal.

"Ask not a blind man the way to town."
American Proverb.
The sense of sight is the main door to our body to know the world. Of course, all the reasons are essential, even those of which we are not aware, and which feed the intuition.
So it's a shame if someone is born with or loses sight.
The American saying is full of common sense. No blind man can guide others, unless he is, a remarkable blind man in other senses.
If you want to go the right way, be sure to ask the right person. If he hesitates, discard it and seek another opinion.

"It is easier to destroy than to build."
Spanish Proverb.
People tend to do the easy thing. So the Spanish saying will have many followers. Hahaha
However, nothing produces more pleasure than a job well done. The more difficult it is the greater the pleasurable feeling of reaching the goal is also greater.
In that sense, the building may be more difficult than destroying, but it also gives greater satisfaction. Of course, sometimes to build, one must destroy, and here the proverb is propitious.
Another connoted meaning is the call for prudence since actions and words have the capacity to destroy if not taken with care.

Drabble: Evil eye and the techno shaman
He did not sleep, tormented by the failure of his laptop and backup disk after Germán's review of the application's source code.
When he woke up, his father noticed him looking haggard, and asked him why. Germán's name made him exclaim, just like his father.
He thought it was superstition until his mother confirmed the reason: evil eye. You suffered from it as a baby.
They called Joseph, who made them work without a screwdriver.
Stupefied, he asked, "How did he do it? Answering almost laughing: "It's misdirected energy. Only we Shamans know how to redirect it.” Hahaha

"To such a question, such an answer."
Spanish Proverb.
Sometimes a member of my family reprimands me when I ask obvious questions.
They look at me like a weirdo, but what they don't know is that the obvious is never that obvious.
You have to distinguish between obvious and stupid questions.
One tends to believe that one is not stupid, but I wouldn't be too sure.
A crazy person will never tell you he's crazy, and if he does, you'll think he's come to his senses.
In any case, it's best to only ask when it's really necessary.
