@MightyTalon

Noise friends, where in the world do you live? Give me a clue and I'll try to guess your country... For those who don't know yet where I live, here's my clue: In my country we have 11 official languages. #NoiseCashiansWorld

Noise.Cash Is Teaching Me More About The World Than School Did Something I enjoy about Noise.cash is that I'm meeting and getting to know so many different people from around the world - different ages, different cultures, different outlooks on life. Yesterday I had some fun and I asked that my followers give me clues and let me guess where in the world they're from... I expected that I'd get some challenging clues and that I'd have to rely on google for help, but I had no…

@MightyTalon

Yesterday I had some fun here on Noise and asked that you all give me clues and let me guess where in the world you're from. I had no idea that I would learn so many interesting facts about other countries! I thought I'd compile some of the interesting info here to share with you (if you missed my post)... Bangladesh - 21 Feb is International Mother Language Day, which marks the day the people of Bangladesh fought for their mother language, Bangla. France - home to more than…

I try to be pro-change in life and in tech, but honestly I'm not a fan of the latest Noise update and the phasing out of free tips. I feel like we were on a path of achieving balance and weeding out spammers, but now we've taken a different direction and the balance is thrown off again. Why do I feel this way? Because it seems this change will benefit those with the highest number of subscribers. Which in my mind means that people will do whatever they need to, to increase…

The Street Walker [Short Story] Grey, grey, green, grey... Distracted for a moment, I look up and give an automatic smile, and instantly regret it. She nervously smiles back, glances around and crosses to the other side. Keep to myself. Keep watching my feet as I walk. I pass houses with short green lawns, fences with barking hounds, sounds of dishes being scraped and stacked in kitchens. This is my anti-plagiarism sentence. A grey-haired man is working with wood in his…

@MightyTalon

At the recommendation of some of my Noise friends, I've created a Read.cash profile where I'll publish my short (micro) stories. This is the first one I wrote, titled "The Street Walker"... https://read.cash/@MightyTalon/the-street-walker-short-story-f7b55e77 We have street walkers where I live, and I often wonder what they must be thinking and how the world feels to them... In each story I try to put myself in someone else's shoes and experience life the way I imagine they…

@MightyTalon

This morning when I woke up I felt like I was in some kind of surreal reality. My brain was foggy and it took me a while to remember what day it is, and it felt like I was in a scene out of the Matrix movie. And then I thought about the different perspectives people have had about the changes here... Try a thought experiment with me... In your mind, zoom out. Zoom far out until you're looking at your life, and the world, from an outside perspective. And then focus on where…

@MightyTalon

A point raised by @rhysmonkey that has me thinking... We get tipped in USD$, which is then converted to BCH when it's paid out. So as the price of BCH rises, we receive less and less actual BCH... Do we want BCH to go up or down then? #BitcoinCash

The Garden Child [Short Story] The clouds are passing quickly above me, making shapes as they move. I can hear the wind in the leaves and through the grass. The flowers dance and bend and bounce back again. Mom is sitting over there pulling weeds out. She keeps looking over to check on me, before wiping her hair out of her face with her arm and returning to the weeds. She wears her pink hat when she works in the garden and I think it makes her look happy. I hope we can stay…

The Packer [Short Story] *Tinned food first. A small box of cereal. No milk? A tomato, a bag of apples and three potatoes. Bread rolls on top.* She glanced in my direction and I smiled, but she looked past me, an anxious look on her face. I didn't recognise her face or her hands. *New to the neighbourhood, or just passing through?* She took her card from the machine, "keep the slip". I watched her rush past me and out the door, leaving a fading scent of something light and…

@MightyTalon

My third short story is up on Read.cash - The Packer. https://read.cash/@MightyTalon/the-packer-short-story-09c0eced As always, I appreciate any feedback you guys have on how I can improve my writing... :) Side note: This is the last of my short stories that I'm moving over from Publish0x to Read.cash. I'm most likely only going to publish on Read from now on, because Publish0x is making it harder and harder to withdraw my balance... #Writing

@MightyTalon

Elon is not your friend. Elon is not my friend. It might seem amusing now, but if he keeps playing games with the market prices we're going to see more regulation as the authorities try to protect investors. That's going to change the crypto landscape for all of us... #Crypto

@MightyTalon

We're filming a beach apartment in Strand this weekend - not a ghost story this time! #SouthAfrica

@MightyTalon

On a ferry to the famous Robben Island... Noise friends who don't live in South Africa, do you know what makes this island important? #SouthAfrica

@MightyTalon

So on Monday we visited Robben Island and then filmed the Waterfront in Cape Town. I took my first ever ferris wheel ride :) Yesterday we toured the peninsula - Simon's Town, Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, Chapman's Peak Drive, Hout Bay, Camps Bay, Sea Point, and then we ended with Table Mountain and Bo-Kaap. I'll write about it in more detail, with tips on what to do and what to avoid... The penguins at Boulder's Beach were the highlight of our day! Today we'll be filming the CBD of…

@MightyTalon

It makes me feel uncomfortable when humans are "fans" of other people. Celebrity culture freaks me out. When you beg for attention or acknowledgement from another human, you're telling that person that they're better than you... They're not. What is the psychological condition that causes people to act like this?? #Psychology

@MightyTalon

Are Crypto Faucets A Waste Of Our Time? Most of us are living in a constant state of stress right now - not knowing if our income is secure, not knowing if our loved ones are safe, not knowing where the world is heading... For many of us, the possibility of financial freedom seems to be the only glimmer of hope that holds a solution to all of our practical problems. For many of us, cryptocurrencies are the best chance we have of achieving that financial freedom, and the…

@MightyTalon

For those who hodl BCH, are there any good places to stake it? Binance offers a really pathetic return on their BCH savings... There must be better options out there? #BitcoinCash

@MightyTalon

Something has been bugging me... Does Brad Pitt eat in every movie he features in?? I feel like every time I see him in a movie he's eating. It must be an inside joke. #Movies

@MightyTalon

I'm teaching a good friend of mine about crypto and how to get started... He's starting from the very beginning. I'm including info about exchanges, risks, potential rewards, terminology/slang, how to choose coins to invest in... Do you guys have some tips from your own experience that I can share with him? #Crypto
