Hey folks! I hope you're all having a lovely week and you are getting on safe through these troubled times.
Talking about troubled times. Monday night was a terrifying one for a lot of families who reside or have relatives that reside in Owerri. Gunshots were heard at about 10 pm at a large settlement in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. It reportedly lasted for about about 30 minutes before the unidentified gunmen ceased fire. Though no casualties were recorded, anxiety gripped the residents of the settlement as well as their families and relatives who heard the news. The situation is under control at the moment, though there are reports of other violence in the state.
Soccer. I can't recall the last time I published a piece on my beloved sport - soccer. As I write this post I am in a viewing center watching the live football match of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semi-final clash between Paris Saint Germane (PSG) and Manchester City. Though I'm more of a fan of England football, I'm supporting PSG for the night. I have a tiny bit of dislike for Guardiola, I can't even explain the reason for that, it's just there. It's already halftime and PSG is leading by a lone goal thanks to a 15th-minute header by Marquinos from a Di Maria cross. I hope to see PSG add more to their tally and end the day with a comfortable first-leg advantage.
Bitcoin Cash. It's just 2 days left to the end of April, can my bitcoin cash prediction still come true? I predicted that bitcoin cash will end the month above the $100 price line. Though we have had a taste of that already, we saw it dip below $800. The price is on the rise at the moment and we have passed the $900 price line. C'mon BCH, we can do it!
HODL your BCH. Buy more if you can.
Back to the Patronage
We are currently in the 17th week of the Patronage and we have @MizLhaine and @meitanteikudo as the beneficiaries of the week. I have already subscribed, sponsored, and tipped a couple of the posts by the beneficiaries. We have more days to the end of their time as beneficiaries and I look forward to reading and tipping more of their posts.
Patronage Week 18 Nomination
This is the 18th nomination round of Patronage in 2021. We are currently in week 17, with the nomination round post on Wednesdays. I usually ask you a very simple question:
Which read.cash user(s) deserves a little encouragement and should be supported by me for a whole week?
How to Nominate Newbies?
Nominating users for beneficiaries of each Patronage week has always been simple. All you have to do is come up with the users you wish to nominate and mention their correct username in the comments section of this post, and you are done. The not so simple part is coming up with the right user to nominate. It's possible you don't know any new users on the platform. Not to worry, you can find them here or simply click on "First post" located above the first boosted post on the home screen.
Keep in mind that the users you'll nominate must not be new, you can also nominate older users who are finding it hard to gain Rusty's attention. I trust we can fish them out.
So find that user and mention his or her correct username in the comments section below. Above all, let's avoid nominating older users who are earning a good amount.
All Nominations end on Sunday and beneficiaries will be announced the same day.
Please, don't nominate previous beneficiaries
We have had forty-nine (49) unique beneficiaries since the start of the Patronage initiative. I always share the list of previous beneficiaries in the weekly nomination round posts so we don't have to renominate them. We aim to have new users become the beneficiaries each week.
Here is a list of the users that have been Patronage beneficiaries:

The Patronage Package
Here are the benefits users receive as beneficiaries of the Patronage week:
Subscriber(s): I will subscribe to you and I hope that other patronage supporters will do the same.
Sponsorship: I will sponsor the weekly beneficiaries. The sponsorship will be sent and the rest will be up to you to either accept or reject it.
Tips: I will get to read and tip up to 7 articles you published by the users within the week of being a Patronage beneficiary.
Nominators Bonus: The users who participate in the nomination rounds are not left out. I will tip their nomination comments with a random amount.
Other things to note
I will only tip articles written in English. I can't tip what I can neither read nor understand.
The tip amount will depend on the quality of your content.
You can nominate the same users nominated by others. As the more nominations, a user gets, the more his/her chances of topping.
That's all for today. Let the nomination begin!
Love and support.
I norminate @BCH.Serge to be the next big star. He's a great writer that's hardly getting noticed.
