The New SuperHeroes Of Read.Cash!
Read.cash resumed and updated the Top Tippers list, and features the real-time statistics from the missing months.
Today, we find in the list active writers that supported other authors with tips, something that probably many did not understand we were doing so far and often accusing others with limited knowledge of facts.
I was constantly tipping back from the number of tips I received. I didn't spare the tips, because I enjoyed reading posts from users that were honest with their approach.
What mattered was taking part in the process, engaging, and supporting.
Of course, tips are voluntary, and it doesn't mean those on this list are better than those outside of it. It is a limited list, anyway. Plenty of users shared part of their rewards with others and contributed to the platform in a meaningful approach.
Marc is intelligently supportive of read.cash and promotes the platform boosting writers and handing out extra tips.
We should be even more grateful today that he keeps supporting both platforms after all the losses from last year ATH. Most investors are in pain, at least those holding a lot in crypto or even tech stocks that dump significantly since the beginning of the year.
13th On the List of Top Tippers!
Marc is in godlike mode with $160,000 tips given, besides his vast contribution to the platform where he provided $1,000 in BCH daily for more than one year.
I am happy to see myself in the 13th spot on this list and I know that most of the tippers in this list were contributing organically, to articles they enjoyed reading, and supporting other authors because they liked their work.
The list was paused months ago while I was hoping to be there, and hoping more will reach the top-20 so we would kick out of the list names from the ABC team that left read.cash and Bitcoin Cash around two years ago.
New blood in the top-20, as ABC is finally gone!
Congratulations to @Jane, @Ruffa, @PVMihalache, and @Olasquare for making it to the list.
These guys were tipping constantly, and deserved to reach this list with their content and dedication to the platform as well!
It was also a joy to see some babblers removed from a list that contains some of the top BCH community members. Right now, I'm not sure about only two of the names in the current top-20 list. Two users which haven't been active since the ABC split.
One of those not on the list anymore, is a known shill with a purpose to glorify Amauri, and spilled hatred upon his departure (and during the ABC split).
Many users are doing a far better job today than writing BS under an agenda to promote a single person above the project.
There are plenty more, perhaps a hundred more, way better than Cain and Kush that were hanging on that list because it was simply paused for many months.
These are the members of Club1BCH.
They are new in crypto but evolve fast, learn, adapt, and soon will be in a better position to explain blockchains and Bitcoin Cash to beginners than those previous "supporters" did.
Bitcoin Cash has depth in its fanbase today, a depth some were working underground in the past to reduce rather than to expand.
There are no secret arrangements or payment agreements to write in favor of one BCH development team and shun the rest with a predetermined purpose to split the Bitcoin Cash community and create a centralized coin.
There are no malevolent dictators today but serious people employing their skills, education, and experience and not fooling around.
The Bitcoin Cash community is healthier than ever.
Tip Nothing Back But Only Receive?
It is Voluntary, But What If You Crossed More Limits?
(source)
Some profited extensively from read.cash, especially considering the average wage in their region, yet they tipped nothing back. Another user a lot earlier called this greed, and while I was initially against calling it greed, perhaps there was a lot there I overlooked.
Particularly when watching a known user basing his content for almost one year on other publications and even profiting with higher tips.
Plagiarism is not so different from grabbing the concept others brought and passing it as your own thoughts, even the same day it was published! It is no different from plagiarism, especially when it is clear that you are completely clueless on the topic, but you just read something you thought will make you look more knowledgeable on blockchain subjects.
It wasn't great to suddenly watch someone clueless on cryptography writing about cryptographers ( the same cryptographers I mentioned) a day after I published my content, and using similar arguments I made.
What does this mean? Zero respect and zero accountability. One time is not something I would even consider, although, it wasn't only one time.
The same happened multiple times, for months and months.
Basing your content on my content constantly explains a lot about your character.
Thus I had to block this person that now creates shallow and uninformed biographies, while in the past I had supported him when he was under attack by another user for not sharing any of his tips.
Sadly, some consider supporting them as a weakness and decide to exploit this support.
At least he (might have) stopped stealing my thoughts and passing them as his own, although I don't know anymore. Of course, that person never tipped anyone else either, concluding a lot about the character and intentions.
Scotty 17 made it too in the list, as expected...
(source)
The read.cash user that was the reason the list was paused for months also reached a spot in there...
Many noticed user Scotty 17 was passing all his tips to another user for months, and way later I've read these users claimed to be relatives or something like that.
Is this a justification? Is this an honest approach? What was Scotty expecting with this attitude?
I don't know if it matters too much, but how would this look if I just passed all my tips to someone else, every day, without interacting with anyone else but only one single user of the platform? And getting there on the top (monthly and total) lists as a large contributor to this community?
Was this writer expecting to be welcomed as an honest user with this approach?
To tell you the truth this wasn't the only weird thing I've seen on read.cash.
Someone else reached that list last year by exchanging back and forth $200 tips twice and used the position he (undeservedly) achieved in the list as some kind of remark that he was contributing with tips to other authors.
Unlike Scotty, this user was tipping others, but not as massively as he made it seem since these two $200 tips were more than 90% of his total.
Too weird that made me lose hope in that person (partially at that point, fully later), and considered how some are so keen to fake everything if it will temporarily help them make a point.
Manipulating the top-20 list is not quite intelligent as it is easy for everyone that cares to discover what happened.
Perhaps, Scotty 17 tried to create an image of someone that tips well on the platform with some ulterior motive that wasn't public yet. Instead of creating a better image, those users that tried to manipulate tips and reached the top-20 list received the deserved negative sentiment from the read.cash community.
Anyway, it was always looking bad to just tip another user with all the tips he received and at a 99% rate interact only with one other particular user on the platform.
Are Daily Tips On Read.Cash Reduced?
The daily tips chart from the automated bot has been removed after the last update.
Perhaps some users noticed a difference in the last two days in tips received by the automated bot, which is 100% funded by Marc De Mesel and only for read.cash for more than a year delivered about $400,000 in BCH rewards.
Everyone is in eternal gratitude to Marc and his support of users of both platforms, and we are all devastated to see Marc's investments underperform during a crypto and stock downturn since the beginning of the year. Every investor at this point suffers, and I can partially (because of the difference in investment size) sympathize since I also lost a significant amount of money in 2022. Not millions but tens of thousands so far, different size.
I mentioned many times in the past, that there should be a certain amount of BCH since the price went lower than when the program started. It could be a temporary measure that will last until the price recovers but as it keeps dropping at dangerous levels, it will help the sustainability of both platforms in the current format of automated tips.
In my article: Two Suggestions In Support Of Bitcoin Cash and the Two Platforms, I explained what the issue could be, before a temporary stop of noise.cash payments started.
This is the problem I was talking about earlier as well.
Price drops for many reasons but we didn't do enough to help either.
Sadly, Bitcoin Cash lacks the vast network of internet spammers that publish 150,000 tweets every day, or spam Reddit and other mediums with BTC propaganda.
Bitcoin Cash has an average of 400 Tweets daily, and perhaps many of them are negative too. We should do more on every front.
Moreover, anti-BCH sentiment is always there in an attempt to undermine Bitcoin Cash, just because it was proven to be right in about everything and exposed the dirty little secrets of Blockstream and the bankers involved.
Conclusion
(source)
The market mechanics suppress the price of BCH at 1/100th of BTC and even lower. Tether suddenly removed about 10 Billion USDT from circulation, something similar to what it did in 2018.
The bear market is here, but this doesn't mean Bitcoin Cash has to follow VC-backed vaporware into oblivion.
Even in 2018, many cryptocurrencies that worked escaped the negativity.
Read.cash and noise.cash perform a service to Bitcoin Cash. Blockchain transactions are increasing, and new users are joining.
The tip list of read.cash is essential to remain in a dynamic form, updating and presenting the users that shared and tipped other users adding to the success of the platform.
Read.cash tips could be reduced, and it should be understood that the price decline of Bitcoin Cash is the reason. We can't demand Marc to keep paying a similar amount of BCH since this will come with a significant cost.
Consider that the rewards will be better as the price rises again and reaches a better level. As the price keeps dropping there is no way anyone will keep receiving the same tips as before.
Kudos to everyone that kept tipping and supporting read.cash and Bitcoin Cash.
We struggle today, but everyone will be rewarded with time.
