In this series, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.
Let's begin with two read-worthy articles by @Pantera :
Crypto-News Websites: Massive Manipulation, Propaganda & Censorship of Bitcoin Cash
...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.
@pandoru1997 writes about how to buy Bitcoin anonymously in Buy Bitcoin without DNI verification, anonymously and securely [GUIDE]. An increasingly important subject when KYC and other controls are implemented almost everywhere.
@annayks recentlty published Bitcoin has a Use Case? A Fake One - An Event That Will Land BTC to the Bottom. It is about Bitcoin (BTC) not being a protection against inflation.
Normally, I would not include speculations about crypto prices, but Pyramids, Bubbles and Logarithms by @Librarian deserves to be mentioned for its explanation of fundamental principles.
NFT – Non Fungible Tokens – A Dummie's Guide for Dummies by @Infinity explains Non-Fungible Tokens in an easy-to-understand way for those who still don't know what it is. If you belong to them, I think you should read this, it is worth the while to get acquainted with this topic.
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:
Octalysis, organization of core drives
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.
Some wisdom from @Eylz2021 in Life lessons: wish they were taught to us during our early years.
Other mature insights from life: We are what we are by @gertu13.
The Power of Self-Confessions by @Just1dood can wake up some sleeping minds. It is an old topic, but with some different perspectives.
A week or so ago, @Willtravis wrote Family isn't Blood Alone, where he concludes:
“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.
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!
While we are on the theme of fruit, read Short-Write: Grapes, The Symbol Of Masculinity, by @Gemstone.
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.
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.
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.
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:
“It isn’t in the darkness that you should feel hopeless, no. It’s in the white light.”

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.
