In this series, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.
What is the problem Bitcoin Cash is trying to solve? asks @Jnavedan in a view on BCH and about living in a big lie. He writes:
“Someone enlightened might rightly say to me: "Don't worry, my friend, man has always lived in a big lie, believing that he exercised free will. So, take it easy and go on living as you have been.
No, that's enough! I refuse to go on living like this.”
“The biggest challenge for cryptocurrencies is not governmental regulation and taxation. The most crucial challenge lies within the cryptocurrencies themselves.“
So says @Unity in The Toughest Challenge for Cryptocurrencies, putting his finger on a problem, which, although sometimes discussed, remains largely neglected.
In The Crackdown on NFTs/Cryptocurrency Continues, @MintDice writes:
“It may come as a shock to many of you, but the truth is, you aren’t free. You can’t say what you want, nor can you spend your money the way you want. Because if you do, the government will shut you down. Don’t believe us? Let’s take a closer look.”
@annayks reports that The EU Is Getting Ready A CBDC And Plans To Ban Crypto Mining And Trading.
@LiberLion is a member since over 2 months, but he has not attracted the attention he deserves, although he has published several very good articles. At the time I write this, he still has only one subscriber, and that's me. Read for instance: KYC, a Mass Surveillance Instrument, Regulations Will Attack Bitcoin Decentralization, SocialFi is the First Step Towards the Metaverse, and his most recent post, DAO, the Social Structure of Cryptoanarchism.
Ageing Against Civilization by @Talon offers thought-provoking reflections over an increasingly infantile civilisation.
We find related thoughts in Global Politics is like Kindergarten by @daffaputra . Of course the author is right; mentally, politicians are as overgrown babies in total absence of maturity. Another article by the same author brings an important message: Digital fasting needs to be done.
@FashTioluwa writes All of us are not equal; Know this!! - and @reanbooks tells us: Simple Life Teaches Me About The Meaning Of Hard Work.
@Oikawa analyses Why We Lie: The Psychology Behind Why People Choose to Lie.
@Raheela reminds us of an important environmental problem in Plastic Pollution: A Threat to Marine Life. Indeed, some plastics offer a more profound problem than that, since they contain substances imitating female sex hormones – threatening life on land as well as in the seas. I have written about that in The Feminisation of Nature.
Nature is not a place to visit, it is Home says @Lucifer01 – and I can just agree. Don't see nature as an enemy, we are a part it, totally dependent on it.
Mushrooms Could Have Language explains @Shounenbat in an interesting article.
Old readers know I have an interest in spices, documented in several articles here. But I'm not the only one: some days ago, I found a very well written article by @Laila1 about saffron: Great benefits of expensive saffron and interesting facts. I especially like this article, because the author approaches the subject in a multidisciplinary way, discussing different aspects of it, for instance health effects as well as history.
Why do animals tend to recover faster than humans? asks @BettyRB – and she also write about The history of the General Sherman tree, the largest in the world.
@beyourself has also written about old trees: The Oldest Trees on Earth. He has also written many good articles about history and mythology; for instance: Queen Of Ancient Sparta-Gorgo, Roman Law - Ancient Rome, and, since I know the interest in dragons is considerable here, why not Ancient China-Dragons.
@Humanpsychology continues to publish excellent articles about various artists, such as (but not limited to): Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863), Edgar Degas (1834-1917) and Pierre Aguste Renoir (1841-1919).
@foryoubtc09 presents a piece of Turkish history in Reflection of Love in Art. Those of you who have seen the TV-series about Hürrem Sultan will recognise the main character here, Mihrimah Sultan.
@DocLayla writes about The futility of words. It made me think of my own (partly somewhat related) view on words. It's too long to describe here, but I have published two articles about it: Words are Power - But only if you Have Something to Say and Words, Consciousness & Beyond.
Something more playful: words can also be used to create riddles. @Daria presents her selection in an article simply named Riddles!
Let's continue with a mystery: The secret from Bucegi - The gateway to another world? by @cyrus21.
New on the recurrent theme of colour: Graphic Design - Colors by @Lixten – and Colors Representing Horror, Featuring Mythological Approach by @Ling01.
Another recurrent theme is coffee: @BSzandra has published two articles on this theme: Did you know these facts about coffee? and What can coffee used for addition to drinking it?
Finally some fiction: this week I choose I think, she makes me Vulnerable! by @Lucifer01 - the second time I mention him in this issue of “Suggested Reading”. According to himself, this story is his entry to Writing Club Contest on Hive.
Read the whole series, ”Suggested Reading” and my series “Retrospection”.
