The takeaway of this bear market is again "Not your keys, not your coins". Like in 2014 with MtGox. 😬
FlexUSD, Terra Luna, Celsius, BlockFi, FTX?...
It's not worth risking your crypto by trusting a centralized entity or token with your funds only to gain a few % of interest. 🤔
Just keep your coins in wallets where only you have control over the private keys.
In the beginning of this year I owned 100 FlexUSD stable coins worth of 100$ which I got from a giveaway. I'm so glad that I didn't keep them to earn some interest because as you already know CoinFlex screwed it up and FlexUSD dropped to 0.26$... 😬
Uhm... Not so cool...? 😥
Crypto is crashing badly because FTX is burning...?
We are taking a deep dip I guess. Prepare your seat belts. 😬😅
3AC, Celsius, (Coinflex) and now also FTX. This bear market is devastating.
Today I cooked spaghetti bolognese.
Using vegan meat based on pea protein, rich of iron and protein.
It smells like meat, looks like meat and tastes like meat. But it isn't meat. 😅
My dad always says "Why eating artificial meat when I can have the real one?".
I personally see it differently.
Why eating the real meat when I can have artificial one which tastes almost the same?
Why does an animal have to die for me when it's not necessary? To me ALL animals are the same!
You find many brands like "Byond Meat", "Like Meat", "Greenforce" or "The Vegetarian Butcher" producing artificial meat based on pea, soy or wheat. And most of them just taste like meat. 😊
(Yes. Today I ate lunch at ~10am. 😬)
Lol! This moment when Kraken suggests Bitcoin maximalists using Monero because mixed coins will be freezed on a deposit. 😅
With transparent blockchains all kinds of mixing will make you seem suspicious.
With obfuscated blockchains all transactions are equally suspicious.
These are the Kanji which I knew at some point.
On the right you can see the ones I still know and on the left the ones which I have forgotten about. 🤧😔
Today I won't stop studying until I haven't wrote every single one without looking.
The results of hundreds of hours studying Japanese are fading away...
In the beginning of 2021 I basically was ready for the JLPT N5 exam. Now I'm not even close...
There is nothing I can offer a girl I truely love besides love and the will to sacrifice everything for her.
I don't look attractive, I'm not rich, I'm not (emotionally) intelligent, I'm not good at communication and I don't have any special talents. There is nothing I can offer.
I drew this small sketch of me trying to convince a girl to give me a chance.
I'm sure it would turn out like this. 😅🤧😂
Today I realized again that the relationship between my sister and me isn't the best.
When we were childs we played and talked a lot.
But this changed into the opposite direction when we grew older. We were living in the same house but barely talked.
Nowdays I'm seing her once every week and today I talked to her for the first time in months. 😬
But not much, just a few words.
I found another relict of the times when I did stupid stuff on the internet.
It's a MSR605 device. You can read and write magnet stripes with that. I also have a ton of blank magnet stripe cards there. 😬
Back then I had to ask my parents to buy this for me from an online shop because I still was like 14 and wasn't allowed to buy anything without their permission.
After a long discussion I was able to convince them that I plan to programm an access control system and need this device to test things out... 🤦😓
I read through forum discussions about people sending letters and packages to the Philippines and am a bit shocked.
There are some people warning about sending something without tracking and insurance because criminals in the Philippines could open your letter/packet in the hope of finding something valuable to steal...
Has anyone experience with that?
Is this common or just an exception...?
How reliable is the letter/package delivery in the Philippines?
Can letters get lost? 🤔
I'm just curious!
I took these pictures of a wasp/hornet two days ago.
It was pretty massive so I had to take a picture of it. It was at least 1cm big! 😯
I'm not sure what his mission was. He was very interested into this mud. 🧐
This is the last apple on our apple tree.
The apples were super sweet and delicious but I will keep this one for the insects to eat.
During the day the wasps and ants come to eat. 🤔😊
They are pretty hungry! You already can see a big hole. 😯
I took this picture of a Pokemon D&P Majestic Dawn booster pack on my birthday ~two months ago.
It was a lonely birthday but I made myself a small present.
I bought two German Majestic Dawn booster packs from a trusted seller.
Sadly both were light packs without a holographic card...
I payed about 140$ and got like 30$ worth of cards. But it was worth it!
It was a nostalgic trip into my childhood. 🥺
Lol! Did you read what's new in the current Bitcoin.com wallet update? This is exactly what I have predicted in the past.
All major wallet providers where a centralized company is behind will do chain analysis to check if coins are tainted and addresses interacted with shady ones. 😬
Next step: Reject all CashFusion/CoinJoin utxos. 😬
Exchanges already do this.
Your coins are not fungible. Your mixed utxo seems shady and is worth less than your utxo you got directly from a miner.
Last week I went to the women's section in the supermarket again and bought myself an activated charcoal face mask.
It should clean my face and reduce my oily skin. At least I hope so. 😬
I never did a facial mask in my life before.
My school friends would have made fun of me back then if I would have told them that I bought a face mask. 😬😅
Our brain is like a muscle. If we stop using it it shrinks to a shrimp.
Time for another adventure with Sir Professor Layton. 😬
I finished "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" in the past and now started playing "Professor Layton and the Pandora's Box".
The Professor Layton series is a point and click puzzle adventure.
You have to solve many puzzles.
Over 100 per game. 😵💫
But it benefits your brain! 😌
Alternatives to keep your brain active and healthy? Learning a language, playing an instrument, programming, reading books, math.
You don't believe what happened...
Because I'm unemployed for almost a year I went to the "Jobcenter"/"Bundesagentur für Arbeit" which is a governmental agency for job mediation.
They are trying to help me now to find a job as a junior software developer.
When I checked the post box today I was a bit shocked. They are sending all the job suggestions in a letter... On paper...
I basically got a job advertisement for a Junior Backend Developer printed out and sent to me in a letter. 😬
Not sure what I should think about this...
The new Pokemon card set got released this month in Japan and prices went crazy again.
The set is called "Paradigm Trigger" and the theme is Lugia.
Look at this Lugia V alternative art secret rare card! 😲
The artworks of Pokemon cards are getting more incredible each release.
The second picture shows a Lugia card from Neo Destiny released in 2000.
The difference is insane! 😯
I think my dad somehow liked my birthday present for him.
He was like "Is this Elon Musk's dog coin? So it's like a lottery ticket? I can be lucky and the price increases?".
I guess you can say it this way... 😬😓😬
He also asked me to add it to his crypto portfolio tracker.
I think my present was a "success". 😌😬
On noise.cash I can select the text of a post and click the "Translate" button to get a vague idea of what the post is about. (Since the translation isn't the best 😅)
But here within the noise.app app it's not possible and the majority of posts in my feed I don't even understand.
I just started giving a heart to every post regardless if I can read it or not. 😅
I read so many times that Bitcoin Cash is accepted at new merchants and that the merchant adoption is growing.
But why isn't the amount of daily BCH transactions is going up?
The Bitcoin Cash network usage is basically the same like two years ago. 🤔
Bitcoin Cash has to be used as CASH. Otherwise it will fail and it's price will drop even lower. If you don't use BCH for on-chain payments and just hodl them in the hope of a price increase you can just pick BTC instead. 😓
If you want Bitcoin Cash to succeed please do your part and use it to buy goods or services at least once in a while.
Just my personal opinion and feeling about that.
My birthday present for my dad is a very cheap "gadget" and 50 Dogecoin.
I hope my dad won't get it the wrong way...
Not sure if he knows what a meme is tbh... 😬
Tbh me giving him "much load" of "very wow" Dogecoin he can "such spend" and "such verify" could seem a bit like I'm making fun of him... 🤔🤧
"Give me money! Money! I want more
Inflation comes just as the situation turns good (PRICES RISE!)
But why, why don't I have any money?
The wind blows in my empty wallet"

I never payed attention to the lyrics of that song. But it fits the current situation of the majority of us I guess.🤧😅
Thank you to the ones who keep tipping me here even though I'm not posting much.
I can't see who you are but I'm thankful! 🙏🥺
I tried to match the addresses I got tips from with donation addresses of the ones who liked my posts but there wasn't any match... 🤔
Also the recipients of the TX made by the donation addresses weren't the ones who tipped me.
So I just can say thank you to the anonymous tipper/s!!! 🥺🙏
Winter time is crypto mining time for me. 😌
And since we now have a solar system it's basically for free.
My setup with 4 devices needs ~0.2 kw/h and produces about 3 kh/s.
Even on a cloudy day like today I get enough electricity to mine for free. 😅
It heates my rooms really nicely and it's way cheaper than turning on the heating system which consumes gas.
There are currently 46 people following me here while I'm only following 23 people.
I hope nobody gets mad at me that I'm still not following back. I just have to take things slow.
I'm not following many people here but sometimes already struggle with reading through all the new posts.
I wish there would be an option to manually allow receiving comments from anyone.
There are three features which I would love to see in Noise.app
1. Being able to translate or at least copy posts to translate them by yourself. Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to copy the text of posts in the app. Many posts I don't even understand because they aren't in English. 🤧
2. Being able to post gifs. 🥺
3. A Monero donation button for some cheap financial privacy and secret donations. 😁
Levi's -10%
The North Face -10%
Calvin Klein -15%
Adidas -35%
Oakley -25%
Michael Kors -10%

Polo Ralph Lauren -10%
Puma -25%
Reebok -35%
Just to name a few fashion brands who offer discounts for university students.
By using the student discount program of some brands I only spent ~200€ on ~250€ worth of new clothes.
It has some advantages having registered for the masters degree I guess...
I just want to check how it looks like posting pictures here and if there is some sort of noticable compression.
I bought this damaged Garchomp C Lv.X promo card for only 4$.
The C stands for Cynthia. It's Cythia's Garchomp. 😁
She is the Champion of the Sinnoh League.
"Drachenstoß" ("Dragon Rush") was an attack that killed me several times during the Diamond & Pearl games when I was battling her. 😬
What I love about Noise.cash is the interaction with people from all over the world and the ability to get to know many different aspects of many cultures.
This makes Noise.cash to a really special and unique platform. You don't have this multicultural aspect with any other platform.
Noise connected people from all over the world.
I'm still just lurking here on Noise.app but I hope that this multicultural aspect will be preserved with the new concept.
Just wanted to make a first post here. 😅
