*In* *this series**, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.* https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#suggested-reading Let's begin with two read-worthy articles by @Pantera : https://read.cash/@Pantera Crypto-News Websites: Massive Manipulation, Propaganda & Censorship of Bitcoin Cash https://read.cash/@Pantera/crypto-news-websites-massive-manipulation-propaganda-censorship-of-bitcoin-cash-071010ae ...and... China Bans Crypto Transactions - A Violation of Human Rights. I dislike the concept of human rights, because in reality it is politically created privileges. If you refer to them, you automatically recognise the political unit's (be it state or international organisation) right to give you the rights (which are privileges), and thereby implicitly its right to amend or remove them as well. Rights cannot be given, only taken. However, this objection is not important for @Pantera's article, which offers an interesting discussion about Bitcoin and government control. https://read.cash/@Pantera/china-bans-crypto-transactions-a-violation-of-human-rights-014524a5 https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/assorted-absurdities-of-democracy-ce00a359 @pandoru1997 writes about how to buy Bitcoin anonymously in Buy Bitcoin without DNI verification, anonymously and securely [GUIDE].

If you belong to them, I think you should read this, it is worth the while to get acquainted with this topic. https://read.cash/@Infinity/nft-non-fungible-tokens-a-dummies-guide-for-dummies-6273b77c Some days ago, @zekecuba published The gamification of Read.Cash, which is an interesting analysis of why Read.Cash is so successful. The article also gives links to previous posts about Gamification and Octalysis, which are quite interesting: https://read.cash/@zekecuba https://read.cash/@zekecuba/the-gamification-of-readcash-f61658ad **What is gamification?** https://read.cash/@zekecuba/what-is-gamification-9f9b2b8e **Octalysis, the 8 core drives** https://read.cash/@zekecuba/octalysis-the-8-core-drives-39b0bb0b **Octalysis, organization of core drives** https://read.cash/@zekecuba/octalysis-organization-of-core-drives-65075582 I have always gone my own way, which has often been total deviation from the majority around me; I have never felt the need to “fit in” anywhere. Most people, however, are not like that, at least not in their youth. @VoluntaryJapan has written an article about his own development in this respect, Go Your Own Way, No Matter What — The Payoff Is Immense; it might serve as an inspiration for others. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-strength-of-being-an-outsider-by-choice-0afbebe4 https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan/go-your-own-way-no-matter-what-the-payoff-is-immense-f5a620b3 Some wisdom from @Eylz2021 in Life lessons: wish they were taught to us during our early years. https://read.cash/@Eylz2021 https://read.cash/@Eylz2021/life-lessons-wish-they-were-taught-to-us-during-our-early-years-c2e9e332 Other mature insights from life: We are what we are by @gertu13. https://read.cash/@gertu13/we-are-what-we-are-7171c421 The Power of Self-Confessions by @Just1dood can wake up some sleeping minds. It is an old topic, but with some different perspectives. https://read.cash/@Just1dood/the-power-of-self-confessions-2b7950a2 A week or so ago, @Willtravis wrote Family isn't Blood Alone, where he concludes: https://read.cash/@Willtravis https://read.cash/@Willtravis/family-isnt-blood-alone-d1d6d59c *“Who is standing by you now, without any strings attached deserves your commitment and love too more than those who seeks to benefit the family rite only cause they are related by blood. Those true friends are your family, they are your true bonds.“* In Volcanoes, @itafari explains about volcanoes; where they can be found and about the risks they pose. https://read.cash/@itafari/volcanoes-b7d37aff Apples are interesting. They can be eaten in many forms and their roles in culture, folklore and mythology are firmly rooted. The question is, however, if everything called an apple, is really an apple. Historically, it seems as if almost any fruit could be called apple. Compare pineapple, pomme de terre, pomegranate, apelsin (means Chinese apple – a name of orange in several languages). Anyway, it is a versatile fruit with many health benefits. @cmoneyspinner expresses his/her love for apples in My Foodie Luv: It's October ~ Let's Celebrate Apples! https://read.cash/@cmoneyspinner https://read.cash/@cmoneyspinner/my-foodie-luv-its-october-lets-celebrate-apples-b7d0294f While we are on the theme of fruit, read Short-Write: Grapes, The Symbol Of Masculinity, by @Gemstone. https://read.cash/@Gemstone/short-write-grapes-the-symbol-of-masculinity-41ac490f Then a little history. Yesterday, @Alexandra001 published Was Russia in slavery? Or what is the Mongol-Tatar yoke, in which she briefly relates the period in Russia called “Horde rule”, and what consequences it had. https://read.cash/@Alexandra001 https://read.cash/@Alexandra001/was-russia-in-slavery-or-what-is-the-mongol-tatar-yoke-73e403a8 Do you believe in witches? Whether your answer is yes or no, they do exist in the sense that there are people – both now and in history – considered to be (or have been) witches. So culturally they exist. Then of course it is a different matter entirely, if one believes in their occult or supernatural powers or not. Whichever the case, read The Witch's Confession, written by @Argent. https://read.cash/@Argent/the-witchs-confession-68c3601e Chemistry in life by @Hanzell describes how principles from chemistry can be applied to life. This is a very interesting way to think, which I have also applied from time to time, although I have derived my principles more from mathematics and physics than from chemistry. Thinking in such analogies can increase the understanding of life. https://read.cash/@Hanzell/chemistry-in-life-7a7c5a43 Finally some fiction - and let's remain with @Hanzell. In a story called White silence, published while I was writing on this very post, she wrote: https://read.cash/@Hanzell https://read.cash/@Hanzell/white-silence-86f43c84 “*It isn’t in the darkness that you should feel hopeless, no.

Thanks for the mention..appreciate it so much. :)
Thank you for the mention ^\\\^ I'm surprised you already saw the short fiction o///o I haven't even gotten to reading your articles yet
It was a pure coincidence. The notification of it arrived when I was sitting writing this post. Otherwise I am not normally so quick, sometimes I don't read posts until they are several days old.
I can relate to this 😅 I like getting in a mood to read if I would be reading, else it's just so hard to appreciate the article
Woah! thanks, bro. I was already thinking that you might be a bookworm and I'm flattered to know that someone appreciated my article.
Bookworm! Yes I suppose I am.

Amen. Using the word "rights" to describe anything simply renders everything else as either being illegal or requires permission.
Thanks for mentioning me in your article. Glad you liked the way I wrote about NFTs. Try to keep it as simple as possible for everyone to understand. I always like to do a lot of research on these topics when I get into them. Thank you very much again.
Explaining things so they are easy to understand is a special art not too many authors really master. But you do.
So lovely dear, I saw my mention and quickly rushed down 😁, thanks a lot. A beautiful piece you've created.
Thank you. Glad that you liked it. I hope you can find something new and interesting to read here.
A great set of articles and a lot of them I have happened to have read. I am going to strongly disagree with your assessment, however, that rights are privileges. Not so at all. Privileges are things only certain people can do, and rights are things everyone can do. There is a massive difference between the two. Granted, there are certain rights that can be revoked depending on circumstances. Such as with the gun laws. A convicted felon cannot own a gun despite the 2nd amendment. But at least in the United States, the law of the land is strictly governed by the Constitution, and no law can be created that violates it. Your rights are inalienable and cannot be infringed upon. Privileges, on the other hand, can be taken away. But not your rights. At least not here in the United States. Losing your right as opposed to having it taken away by an outside force is also a very different thing, as posed by the gun law example. In that case the GOVERNMENT did not take away the right. The criminal did when he broke the law and lost his right as a result.
I don't agree with what you say in your comment. But it's okay, I have no problem with that. I think we have entirely different perspectives to this subject, so let's agree to disagree.
No worries. Just keep in mind that you cannot rewrite the dictionary. :)
I don't agree about that either, but it is beside the point here. :)
Cuando hablamos de derechos bello amigo decimos que todo lo demás que hagas con esto es ilegal. Feliz noche te deseo te saludo desde Cuba Mis mejores deseos para ti
¡Un lector de Cuba! Hasta donde sé, nunca he tenido un lector de ese país. ¡Bienvenidos!
Acá tienes el primero. Espero me sigas motivando a leerte. Ya que hasta ahora así lo has echo. Linda mañana te deseo. Mis besos y mi saludo.
Thank you for mentioning my article. You should include speculations about crypto prices. And speculation about anything else that is worth it. Speculating is not to be banned but to be cherished. It raises discussions and forces analysis, risk taking and decision making. Your articles are nice and interesting because they cover multiple subjects.
