Molestation: I need advices
Good day friends. I hope you are all doing well.
This is a very sensitive story am about to tell you all. Please treat it with much sincerity. I would really appreciate that.
Today haven't been a good day for me because i woke up to a very sad and shocking news ever.
I went over to my twitter account to read some updates and trending stories which i normally do on a daily basis and today unfortunately for me I was hit so hard with a trending news of a very close friend of mine being involved in a sexual molestation with some guys. He was accused by a group of guys on Twitter of sexually molesting them and it has gone round the whole country like a spreading virus. It has even been posted on news platforms.
To be honest I have known this boy of being a bi-sexual but I have never known him of doing such an act of molestation, and up till now i still can't believe he would do such a thing because I have known him right from childhood. I still believe this could be a plot to bring him down because of how successful he has been on his modeling journey in the country.
The worst part of it all is that bi-sexuality is not legal in my country which means he could go to jail for just being a bi-sexual and this boy is so popular on social media and he has gained so much endorsements which might be withdrawn if this accusations goes to another level. Most of you that deal on endorsements should know what I mean.
I am telling you all this story because I am still confused on what steps or actions to carryout as a friend. Defending him of all accusations looks wrong because it will seem like I am defending a wrong act. Conderming him also looks wrong because it will seem like I am a bad friend who supports him only when things are good and conderms him when things aren't good. Right now am being flooded with advices from some other friends to conderm him and stay away from him for good which is really hard for me because I am not that kind of person who leaves her friends when the need me the most.
I would really love to know what you all think I should do about this issue. I am in a tight spot and if something isn't done soon enough he is going to spend years in prison.
Thank you.
America is burning
Last night, I turned on the news, and America was burning. City after city. Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia. The list seemed to be endless. Every one of America’s great cities was on fire.
**America is burning, but the flames only reflect a deeper fire.** America is burning with rage, with fury, with disappointment, with resentment. It’s shaking with anger. It’s screaming in grief. America is burning like a trash fire on the rubble of a broken dream.
The spark that set off this fire was of course the killing of yet another black person in spectacularly violent fashion. The one way I’ve never seen a person die even in movies is with a knee to the throat…for minutes on end…being slowly suffocated to a painful, lingering death. And yet in the dystopia America’s become, this is the kind of thing that’s now broadcast to an entire nation. And to a world. The world watched with me, in horror, as America burned.
America is a country in something far, far beyond any mere “crisis.” A hundred thousand plus are dead.More than five million are unemployed. Less than 4 millions are unemployed. Whats going on. Crisis? This is a social collapse. The real thing.
**And that brings me to the meaning of these protests.** One way to see them is black people taking to the streets, fed up with their mistreatment. But the protests, this time, aren’t just black people. And they seem to be about much, much more than that.
**These protests are a cry of desperation and hopelessness from the throat of a broken nation.** They’re the seams of a nation ripping apart. They’re the fragile, withered bones of a society finally snapping apart — crrrack! They’re the last, bitter desperate howl of a dying, wounded country.
**These protests are spreading because America has failed.** It has failed at three things. One, being a society, as in a set of people who care for each other, instead of merely brutalizing each other. Two, failed at progressing towards becoming a modern, civilized society. Three, failed the majority and minorities both (no, not equally — just…both.)
**These protests express the profound, lacerating anguish of a society failing.** As an idea. As a state, as a society, as en economy, as a culture — in every way imaginable, really. They are the tormented scream of a collapsing society, descending backwards into barbarity, hate, folly and violence, at light-speed.
**What happens when societies die?** They scream out in rage, shock, fear, and pain. This is what the protests are.
These aren’t organized protests, a movement. They’re made of all kinds of people — black, brown, white, and everything in between. And they spread across the country…bang!…like that. Now what, they say? Now what? Where do we go now that our ship has sunk? *Save our souls.*
**These protests reflect a feeling that runs deep now, that cuts to the bone. A grim dissatisfaction with American life.** A resentment at the degradation that Americans have to endure. A hopelessness that anything can really change now for the better. They are signals of a kind of embittered rage at the dystopia America has become.They are cries against the legendary cruelty and brutality that American life is made of now. And most of all, they are protests against exploitation and injustice, which has become the defining experience of American life, for too many.
**Yes, especially for black people. But not just black people, now, too.** That is, I think, why so many white people have joined in. That is why they erupted across every city. American life has imploded. These are rebellions against injustice, against racism, against brutality, cruelty, exploitation — all of which has become a way of life in America.
How unjust is American life?
What does the average American have?
***Nothing.*** **I mean that factually.** Americans of a certain kind will go into anger and denial when I say that, and yet it’s a fact. The average American now dies in debt, which means they end up having…nothing. They never own or earn or save a penny. All the things they appear to have are had on debt, which is unpayable. Life is “lunch debt” becoming “student debt” becoming credit card debt and a mortgage becoming “medical debt.”

How to have money work for you, not against you
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well.
Let me talk on this important topic:
How to Have Money Work for You, Not Against You
There is a solution to this problem of saving money and you don’t have to be an investment guru like Warren Buffett to understand it.
You can prevent yourself from being financially destroyed by money when you change your approach to this:
It’s *not* about how much money you make.
It’s *not* about how much money you save.
It’s about you how much you **invest.** https://medium.com/swlh/lessons-ive-learned-from-studying-money-for-10-years-50ca03854887
Investing your money simply means putting your money to work (for you).
The money you make needs to be invested. You have a few options, which you already know, but here they are; gold, real estate, bonds, stocks, digital currencies. That is where you can place your money so that inflation doesn’t kill everything you’ve worked for.
You will still be destroyed financially if you don’t take this extra step
Even if you invest your money it still won’t help you. Investing your money is not enough because you need to understand one more idea: diversification. (Money experts that charge you $1000 an hour for their time call it asset allocation but we’re not fancy and just want to get to the point.)
The hardest part to understand is how much money to place into each asset class. Hedge funds that invest billions of dollars spend decades mastering this one skill and it’s their secret sauce.
The solution to this problem is different for everybody. How much money you invest in each asset class depends on your financial situation and your age.
If you’re broke or have lots of credit card debt then you’re normally going to focus on wiping that out first before worrying about investing. If you have no debt but only have less than $10,000 then you’re probably going to want to be more cautious in case you need access to that money. If you have $100K or more to invest then you might want to be a little more aggressive.
If you’re a millennial like me then you may want to go a little more aggressive into stocks because you’ll have time to ride out any recessions.
The way to save yourself financially is to learn about where you should invest your money and how much cash to allocate to each asset class.

How to make motivation a habit
Good day friends and great writers. Hope you are all doing fine. Before I forget, I want to wish you all a happy and blessed New Month. I hope you all achieve greater than ever in this month of June.
Now back to my purpose of writing. I have decided to write on this important topic that could help alot of you finding it hard to get motivated to carry out your activities regularly. Lets start:
How to Make Motivation a Habit
There are three simple steps you can take to build better rituals and make motivation a habit.
**Step 1**: A good pre–game routine starts by being so easy that you can’t say no to it. You shouldn’t need motivation to start your pre–game routine. For example, my writing routine starts by getting a glass of water. My weightlifting routine starts by putting on my lifting shoes. These tasks are so easy, I can’t say no to them.
The most important part of any task is starting. If you can’t get motivated in the beginning, then you’ll find that motivation often comes after starting. That’s why your pre–game routine needs to be incredibly easy to start.
**Step 2**: Your routine should get you *moving* toward the end goal.
A lack of mental motivation is often linked to a lack of physical movement. Just imagine your physical state when you're feeling depressed, bored, or unmotivated. You’re not moving very much. Maybe you’re slumped over like a blob, slowly melting into the couch.
The opposite is also true. If you’re physically moving and engaged, then it’s far more likely that you’ll feel mentally engaged and energized. For example, it’s almost impossible to not feel vibrant, awake, and energized when you’re dancing.
While your routine should be as easy as possible to start, it should gradually transition into more and more physical movement. Your mind and your motivation will follow your physical movement. It is worth noting that physical movement doesn’t have to mean exercise. For example, if your goal is to write, then your routine should bring you closer to the physical act of writing.
**Step 3**: You need to follow the same pattern every single time.
The primary purpose of your pre–game routine is to create a series of events that you always perform before doing a specific task. Your pre–game routine tells your mind, “This is what happens before I do ___.”
Eventually, this routine becomes so tied to your performance that by simply doing the routine, you are pulled into a mental state that is primed to perform. You don’t need to know how to find motivation, you just need to start your routine.
That is all for now. I hope this was helpful to you all. Thank you so much for reading and always remember to stay safe.
Nigeria
Good day all. Hope you are all doing well.
Today, I thought I should talk about my home country, NIGERIA.
Nigeria is one of the most noticeable country in the whole of Africa, maybe even the whole world. Most of you must have heard one story or the other about Nigeria,you might have even had a one on one encounter with someone from this country.
Nigeria is a country with much problems but what I love so much about this country is that it is a whole lot of fun. It is not developed or civilized like many countries in the world but i can bet you it is one of the places you will have a lot of fun. Nigeria is a country tagged "A play ground" because everyone plays alot in this country even when they face troubles like corrupt leaders, corona virus, underdevelopment e.t.c. I have been to developed countries, i have lived in developed countries but i have never seen a country as fun as Nigeria. There is no Nigerian that will travel abroad and would not miss living in Nigeria. Its the only country that makes fun of even their President and even one laughs without being purnished or arrested hahaha, their dance steps is also something of unique quality. If a Nigerian dance for you, you can even give him your house unintentionally lolzz. Their culture is just a wow. They have different tribes with wonderful cultural backgrounds. Nigerians are also known for their presence in 80% of the countries round the world. They travel and explore alot. There is hardly any country in this world that you won't see a Nigerian. They are everywhere. Have you tasted the Nigerian food? I bet you, if you have a taste of a well cooked Nigerian jellof you would lick the plate with your tongue.
What I love most especially about this country is that, it is a totally free country. There is nothing like racism, nothing like discriminations, even the whites here have no option than to just relate with everyone because it is totally impossible to be in Nigeria and you wont have a close encounter with at least 10people a day. Nigerians are known for turning a bad situation into a good situation. Take for example this corona virus. Nigerians have made jokes and very funny memes even funny videos about this virus that can make you laugh so hard a patient would forget he or she even has the virus. This is really good and that's one of the things i love about this country.
Most of you might have heard of one ot two bad stories about Nigeria, it is quite known for harboring good and smart scammers who can get millions of dollars by just sitting at home with a computer. This is because everyone here are hustlers. Due to the hard life here, people go to extra miles just to get food in there stomachs for at least twice a day. People fight their way to success and the hard life has made the citizens of this country so determined to gain cash even if it is little just to be able to survive the day. This is why some of them go as far as involving is scams.
Nigeria also has so many recreational centers and fun parks. Nigeria has some of the most notably ancient creations of the world, something like the great wall of benin which was once larger than the great wall of China before it was brought down by colonialists, but parts if these great wall still stands till date and is a wonderful view for tourist. Nigeria is a country that has never in its history experience natural disasters like earthquakes, tremors, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, land slide, heatwaves etc. The highest natural disaster they have encountered for years is flooding which is controllable.
This is my country and I am proud to be a Nigerian. I am an Igbo girl by tribe which is one of the most popular tribe in Nigeria even in Africa. Why don't you think of visiting Nigeria and have one of your best vacations ever.😁😁.
This is all for now. Thank you all for reading and remember to always stay safe.
Investments
Good day once more friends. I hope you are all doing fine.
I thought about talking on investment today. It might be helpful to most of you who are wondering what investment is and what it involves. First, let me define what investment is.
What is investment:
This is the process of adding to stocks of real productive assets. It is a a general term for spending money, usually from current income on the asset of an organization to enable the said organization increase and expand production in the future.
All this definition might sound huge and big for some of you. You might not understand those definitions, so let me get it low.
Investment is the act of using your money or assets to gain more money. You have to use your hard earned money and take a huge risk which can gain you more money when these risks turns out to be profitable.
Investment is Risk. Risk is Investment
That is the point.
Many of you have millions of dollars, some have little amount of money in their banks, wallets or safe boxes and you don't have any idea what to use those money for. Some of you even go to the point of spending these money gradually.
Have you thought on what to invest in? Have you thought of how these money can get you more money and even make you rich?
There are millions of investment opportunities round the world, i dont mean those investments scams you see on telegram, or even WhatsApp. I mean really investments. Forex is an investment, stocks and shares are Investments, and people make billions of dollars from these investments. Take your time and learn these investments. If you go as far as learning forex to its core, i bet you can make millions from just prediction of thr prices of currencies or other assets. Take your time and learn stock trading, you can even become a broker, or a jobber. Bring buyers and sellers together and you get commissions.
All these are investments that can make you rich with the blink of an eye. That can pay your daily bills even yearly bills. Most of you might say you don't have capital. No matter how small you have, start somewhere. Trades like Olymp trade starts with as little as $10. You can trade with $10 there and if you are really good, you will make upto $200 from these trades.
TAKE A STEP TODAY AND ENJOY THE BENEFITS TOMORROW. That is my advice to you all. Thank you for reading. God bless.
7 daily exercise that would improve the quality of your life
Good friends. I hope you are all doing fine.
Please I would encourage you all to read, learn and practice these 7 exercises daily. Trust me when I say that it will improve your life in a great way.
Set Goals
If you would like to look back at the end of every year to be thankful
and grateful you would need to set a worthwhile goal. In setting your
goals you would have to be SMART
1. Specific (specify the exact thing you want to achieve)
2 .Measurable(Have a scale to measure your progress towards the
accomplishment).
3. Achievable (easily attainable) 4.Realistic (within your reach).
5. Timely (with a well-defined timeline to create urgency).
This would help you achieve better result every year. Your goals
would guide you all throughout the year and make you more
focused. It is likely to change your lifestyle, it might require you to
quit smoking or drinking alcohol and have a disciplined life.
Consider this goggle map analogy:
From your present position to where you are going, using goggle map, you would just
have to type your destination, then start driving. If your journey takes few hours you are
most likely to be directed to make several turns before getting to your destination. Once
you get there you will know because the goggle map would alert you.
Auto Suggestions
If you would ever be truly successful and happy you must start by
influencing your physical or mental state by thoughts and ideas that come from yourself rather than from other people. You alone has
the power to make yourself fortunate or unfortunate.
What you say
to yourself matter most than what any world acclaimed prophet says
to you.
Cultivate a daily habit of speaking positively to yourself. In my case I
say the following every morning.
I know I have the ability to achieve financial
Authority and have great political power, therefore,I demand of myself persistence --- continuous action towards It attainment and I here and now promise to render such action.
Reading
When you cultivate the habit of reading daily, you would make a
great difference in your life and people around you. When I advices
you to read I mean you should either get hardcopies of books to read
or softcopies. Get a note and pen to take jottings so you can go over
those points that cross your mind again and again.
It likely not going to be easy at first, start with just 20 minute daily reading There is no specific time or an advised time, just make sure you read
at your own conveniences. Read motivational and inspirational
books, journals, biographies etc. By doing so you are travelling
several places without paying much but for your time. You can
schedule to read about a particular thing each month. For instance
January- books on marketing. February – customer retentions skills,
March – how to rescue a failing biz etc.
Bill Gates, one of the world richest during one of the interviews with
‘’The Times’’ said he reads about 50 books a year and reading is still
the main way that I both learn new things and test my
understanding.
Make good social contacts/maintain good ones:
Good social contacts are hard to come by, if you are opportune to
meet one, place value on them, if you presently have one, place
value on it and make the best of that social contact. I have learnt
overtime that it require only a social contact to change one life
for a life time. Disconnect from non-productive people, nay Sayers
and negative colleagues.
With quality friends, you would achieve your goal faster and
better than the way you could ever imagined.
Check from your whatsapp group for quality members and reach
out to them. The sweetest part of this is that great people always want to relate and make friends with others who make
themselves friendly. I can’t count several people whom I had
never known but via social media we became friends and we’ve
done a whole lots together.
Make the right choice of friend today. Team that work together
wins together. Never walk alone.
Exercise
Physical exercise help to improve your health and by extension the
quality of life.
It has been recommended by medical expert that;
i. One should aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily. Try to find the time for some regular, vigorous exercise for extra
health and fitness benefits.
ii. Minimize the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting and
break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
As for me I like exercise for healthier state of mind.
A number of studies have found that exercise helps depression. There
are many views as to how exercise helps people with depression:
iii. Exercise may block negative thoughts or distract you from daily
worries.
iv. Exercising with others provides an opportunity for increased
social contact.
v. Increased fitness may lift your mood and improve your sleep
patterns.
vi. Exercise may also change levels of chemicals in your brain, such
as serotonin, endorphins and stress hormones.
Look for a gymnastic Centre or a trainer to help you out.
Prayer
There is a supreme being; God, he is in heavens and control all the
affairs of heaven and earth. No matter how things goes he is in
charge. I know you would like things go in your favor? Then pray to
him.Tell him everything, I mean those things people cannot do for you.
Pray to God for favor, peace of mind, joy, mercies, blessing and many
of his kindness. While you are praying, thank God, ask for the
forgiveness of your sins, pray for mercy and then present your case
before Him. He was the one that created you and he would forever
be by your side till you accomplish His given vision.
Pray without ceasing…prayer is the master key.
Perhaps this should be the first thing expected of you and I to do on daily basis.
Evaluation
If we would ever achieve our set goals, We must daily access our life
consciously. You would have to make a daily appraisal of your life.
This would make you to measure your progress. I hope you
remember SMART goal settings in the first point?
Reconsider the goggle map analogy. After you have made several
journeys using goggle map within a month, you can check from your
phone visited places. This would remind you of your visited places.
Same way at the end of each day appraise your set goal, ask yourself
the following questions?
Did today matters?
Did I achieve my main goal (s)?
Did I learn anything new today?
How did I make others feel?
What can I do better tomorrow?
Crypto currencies and government: War or cooperation
As Blockchain permeates more and more spheres of our lives including finances, security, healthcare, IoT, and many others, it is inevitable that it comes under close attention from governments. There’s no wonder in that – states do prefer to remain in control of every aspect of their citizens’ lives and Blockchain’s decentralized nature seems to run contrary to this desire. https://blockgeeks.com/blockchain-and-iot-a-perfect-match/
The most well-known aspect of Blockchain is, of course, the power it gives to cryptocurrencies. Certain states fear crypto to such an extent that they prohibit operations in crypto to protect their financial independence from the real or perceived threats.
But what can governments do? Is blocking cryptocurrencies a viable solution for paranoid regimes or not? Let us find out.
Existing practices of cryptocurrency bans
There exists a number of countries where the use of cryptocurrencies is forbidden in part or fully. It is not impossible, however, to dabble in crypto for the citizens of those countries, however. Both Tor and VPN services are available to them, allowing them to hide their activities from the government. https://cooltechzone.com/best-vpn
Most states that have problems with bitcoin and other currencies haven’t banned them entirely. While citizens are allowed to buy and sell them (so that their coins are viewed as virtual goods), they cannot use cryptocurrencies as an instrument of payment. This is the case in such countries as Indonesia, Vietnam, and a few others, according to a 2018 report issued by the Law Library of Congress. https://www.loc.gov/law/help/cryptocurrency/cryptocurrency-world-survey.pdf
However, there are countries that ban their citizens from handling cryptocurrencies in any way. Egypt is one example of such a country, though religious concerns are added to the financial ones there, as the use of cryptocurrencies is deemed un-Islamic by the Egyptian legislators.
Many countries also specify that trading bitcoin is extremely volatile and risky and suggest that their citizens do not engage in this trade.
The most cited reason for blocking cryptocurrencies is that their use, thanks to their pseudonymous nature, are hard to track. Therefore, according to the former Indian Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Arun Jaitley, the government had to “take all measures to eliminate the use of these cryptoassets in financing illegitimate activities.” https://qz.com/india/1195316/budget-2018-busts-bitcoin-arun-jaitley-has-just-killed-indias-cryptocurrency-party/
Of course, the same dubious argument can be used against many other things including cash. But cash, obviously, is issued by the country’s financial institutions – unlike cryptocurrencies. The latter can be obtained by people without the government’s knowledge and that is what makes governments uneasy.
Is it possible or needed for a country to actually ban crypto?
As we have established, simple prohibitions, even when paired with sizeable fines, do not really cut it because there are ways to keep one’s involvement in the cryptocurrency trade clandestine. However, very few governments were ever stopped from being intrusive by any difficulties. So can cryptocurrencies be prohibited on some territory for real?
It is downright impossible. Technologically speaking, anything short of a whole-internet ban is going to fall short in preventing the citizens from dealing in crypto because of decentralization.
In terms of legal measures, increasing the penalties also isn’t going to help much. Banning anything that is in such high demand as cryptocurrencies unavoidably leads to the creation of black markets for that product, service, or commodity, and people aren’t stopped by the possible repercussions.
Certain economists have expressed their belief that the only way for any government to kill off cryptocurrencies is to increase the level of financial freedom for its citizens. This idea does hold some water: if the incentive to look elsewhere than to the monetary system of one’s country for financial independence is decreased, the demand for bitcoin is likely to decrease as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ktorpey/2019/04/30/economist-shares-a-unique-take-on-how-governments-could-kill-bitcoin/#2e1b3db83cde
However, even this proposed method is not really a threat to miners and traders. No government is likely to provide the freedom to voluntarily move funds that cryptocurrencies already provide. It is so not in the least part due to the same old pseudonymity concerns: if you can’t trace the money, how are you going to stop it from reaching terrorists? (Though as we know, unfortunately, terrorists were able to find funding long before the advent of cryptocurrencies).
Furthermore, there is little reason to struggle against crypto for governments. As Blockchain is a huge trend today, it only makes sense to embrace it and rip the benefits of it such as the influx of investments into the country’s technology sector that are sure to follow if you start developing new cryptocurrency-related solutions and ideas.

Ethereum Million Money
Good day friends, hope you are all doing well.
How many of you know about the ethereum million money that has been going on almost everywhere in my country for some months now.
The Ethereum million money is a platform where you refer people to your downline and you get to be paid Ethereum from your downliners and from people referred by your referrals.
Its a really good idea but till now many people including me still have some doubts on whether this is actually legit or some kind of scam. You are expected to start up with just 0.04 ethereum, get some referrals and finish with about 500ethereum in your wallet. Can you imagine how amazing and too good that sounds? Makes me doubt it the more. It works more like a ponzi scheme but this time around its a ponzi scheme done with ethereum instead of cash.
Many of my friends and even my own sister is into this but i have decided to hold on for a while first and confirm if it is actually a legit project or just some work of scammers. Right now the pressure being enforced in me to join is really great because it looks like something that only the early birds will benefit and the late birds looses. It is better to be counted amond the earliest birds than the late bird because it might end in tears hahaha.
There is even another one called Forsage. I think its just the same thing as million money but with different name although people in forsage are claiming that it isn't same with million money.
I think you all should be very careful this days though. There are alot of sweet looking and tempting offers which are scams but you can only escape this if you are wise enough to see the scammers playing a part in this offers. Just be very careful. Don't just join platforms or websites or groups that claim to pay you huge sums of crypto currencies, make your investigations first before joining this platforms. Thats all i have to say for now. Always remember to Stay safe everyone, always even after the pandemic.
Equal rights to men and women
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well.
The topic i will talk on today is very sensitive and I will love to hear your different opinions on this matter.
A 17years old girl forced a 17year old boy to sex. They are both underage for such an act and are both supposed to be purnished. BUT only the boy was purnished by the law and the girl was set free by the same law. It has become a serious matter and its even being debated on a social media group as i am writing this. Someone posted a statement, read it carefully and please tell me what you think about this:
I am not a lawyer, you're not a lawyer. But please, read with me, I want to show you something. It's a question. Please try to answer.
I'll try not to make it too long and boring.
In the Constitution.
Section 5 (sexual offences) 2006..
"5.— A female child under the age of 17 years shall not be guilty of an offence under this Act by reason only of her engaging in an act of sexual intercourse."
And section 3 of the same act makes it an offense to have have sex with children under 17.
Now the two sections can work hand in hand and conviction of a boy makes him liable for up to five years imprisonment while no penalty will be placed on the girl.
Now, this obviously discriminates between underaged boys and girls.
let us consider this case
D(a minor) -vs- Ireland ors
The judge was asked why there was a discrimination in section 5, why should boys be punished even if they're the victims and girls are the predators.
And she replied saying
"the fact that a female child under 17 could become pregnant meant that there were different medical and psychological consequences for male and female children who had sexual intercourse. This justified the discrimination."
Now, that's all.
To my questions
1: If the law agrees that the mental, biological and physical difference between men and women should make them be treated differently, WHY THEN DO FEMINISTS WANT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY?
2: ok, let us agree that women will be treated equally.
WILL THEY ACCEPT EQUALITY IN IT'S TOTALITY?
AS IN WILL THEY STOP SUCH LAWS THAT FAVOUR ONLY THEM? OR WILL THEY KEEP LYING TO THEMSELVES WHILE THEY KEEP PRACTICING CONVINIENT EQUALITY?
Lol, they think equality is only when it comes to benefits.
This statement has been giving me alot of thoughts as a lady.
This is right to be honest. In my opinion I agree with that statement and it might be shocking for a lady like me to say this but it is a true fact. Women especially the feminists are supposed to go about fighting for equal right but not only for situations that benefits them. They should also fight for equal rights also in situations that benefits both the men and the women too.
Now in the above event of the 17years old children, i really think the both of them are supposed to be purnished not just the boy. I would love to hear what you think about this. Thank you for reading and remember to always stay safe.
What can you buy with bitcoin or BitcoinCash.
What can you do with a Bitcoin?
Travel and Tourism
Tel and tourism. Thousands of people travel day in and out every day. Some companies went a step ahead to make it easier for their users to transact and pay for their travel bookings using bitcoins.
Expedia, one of the largest travel booking agencies can now accept bitcoin payments as a form of payment for online hotel bookings you may make through their website. Their payment channel is powered by Coinbase and accepts currently bitcoins at the moment.
Furthermore, companies like CheapAir, accept airline bookings through bitcoins as well. They started out as the early adopters of Crypto and putting it to use for realistic purchases for its users.

That’s the futuristic combo we thrive for. https://www.virgingalactic.com/
Food and Drinks
Craving for pizza but got no change? Pizzaforcoins is a California-based service that allows you to purchase pizzas from major pizza chains such as Papa John’s, Pizza Hut and more, using yours truly, bitcoin. How the platform works is that it lets you enter your location, and shows available pizza places in your neighbourhood. Once you select and place the order, it is relayed to the respective restaurant once you make the payment which also appears in BTC. You can make payments using up to 50 cryptocurrencies at the moment, given its integration with Shapeshift. You can either have the pizza delivered to you or pick it up from the location.
If you aren’t based off in the US, then you can give Lieferando.de a go, a German food delivery service with over 11,000 restaurants under its belt. It recently added payments via bitcoins. It uses Bitpay to process its transactions, hence allowing you to pay for your food in either Bitcoin or Bitcoin cash. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/bitcoin-cash/
Another Russian food delivery service, with over 90 restaurants in its partners, added a cryptocurrency payment option to its checkout options. Before the option was added though, none of the restaurants individually supported cryptos. So, that’s a big step in the right direction for food lovers and crypto enthusiasts alike.
Gaming and Entertainment
Among the big players in the industry, Microsoft’s Xbox store and Windows Store allows you to purchase games, movies and more using bitcoins as a mode of payment. You can load the bitcoin into your Microsoft account and get ahead to use it as a payment method whenever you are checking out.

For smaller niche players, you can also buy games and redeemable gift cards from various platforms such as BitPlaza, Coinmall and Zynga. These platforms allow you to pay for your game purchases using Bitcoin as money.
Shopping and More
A lot of stores have added cryptocurrency payment options to their website with the growing popularity of digital currencies in general and bitcoins in particular. Etsy, a globally renowned e-commerce platform allows sellers to set bitcoin as a method of receiving payments from their purchasers. Furthermore, Blockonomics worked with WordPress to help it set up Bitcoin payments integrations on its website so people who have websites built using WordPress can accept Bitcoin payments from their buyers using bitcoin simply by adding the respective plugin to their website.

Not only that, the publicly listed company’s CEO has shared interest and enthusiasm to acquire and work with blockchain-based companies. The company Overstock also conducted an ICO in 2018 to restructure its business and manage to raise over 250 million dollars, one of the highest funds raised through ICO. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/initial-coin-offering/
Miscellaneous Purchases
Dish, a satellite TV and internet service provider started offering bitcoin payment options as early as 2014. You can purchase a one-time subscription through their website. Earlier they used Coinbase’s integration to accept bitcoin payments and have now shifted to Bitpay as their transaction processing handler. https://blockgeeks.com/bitcoin-transactions/
A company called bitcoin Real Estate allows you to sell and purchase properties using bitcoins. You can go ahead and list your house on the worldwide platform and make purchases using the digital currency. The prices are listed US dollars or Euros or equivalence terms for bitcoins. https://blockgeeks.com/how-to-sell-bitcoin-in-canada/
If you would like to do some good, and help people, you can achieve that with Bitcoin as well. Binance Charity Foundation, among various others, accepts donations in bitcoin as well. They also leverage the power of blockchain to offer transparency for donors to see where their charity goes.
Companies like APMEX and JM Bullion allow its users to purchase gold, silver and similar precious metals through its website and pay for them by accepting bitcoin. However, the purchases are capped at around a quarter of a million dollars.
Bloomberg and Chicago Sun-times are among the online news platforms that offer bitcoin as a payment option to their subscription model. Similarly, Treehouse, an educational platform accepts bitcoin payment for its courses.
Among some notable innovations for using bitcoins to make payments is the contactless card offered by BitPay, a payment processing company for cryptos. The card is offered as a Visa card which allows conversion of bitcoins and bitcoin cash into US dollars or whichever is the local fiat in your country. However, currently only available to US residents, it allows you to use it just as a normal credit card making purchases all the more seamless just like with the conventional fiat-backed credit cards.
There are many other websites that currently allow for bitcoin too, including but not limited to:
OKCupid (dating site)
CheapAir (travel/hotel booking agency)
PizzaForCoins (pizza delivery)
Zynga (Mobile apps/games)
Etsy (e-commerce, some Etsy sellers accept bitcoin as payment)

Should you adopt a Decentralized network?
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well.
I see millions of people going into Decentralized networks and i wondered if its really a good idea to go into it. I saw an article about this and i would love to share it with you all. Wasn't written by me, please take note.
Should You Adopt a decentralized network?
Outside of avoiding monopolies and maximizing blockchain’s power, why should a decentralized network be put into place? There are a couple of very easy answers to this question.
The first is reliability. When you spread the burden of services across numerous devices, you automatically have failover. Should one device on that decentralized network go down, another will already be in place to pick up the slack. For example, you could have hundreds of servers hosting the same sites on that decentralized network. Should Server A go down, Server B, C, D (and so on) will still be serving up the same sites. It’s inherent redundancy, backup, and failover all in one.
Another benefit of the decentralized network is privacy. Although it might sound counter to what you consider secure, instead of all data passing through a single point, in a decentralized network that data is passing through numerous, random points. If a hacker breaks into a centralized network, they only need to find their way to that single point of entry to collect all of the data going around the network.
With the decentralized network, that data randomly passes through the network, so there’s no telling where it might be or go at any given time. This means that hackers must work harder to locate and steal your data packets.
So, for any person or business looking for greater reliability and security, a decentralized network would be the way to go.
Why Decentralized Networks Are Not Being Adopted
Aside from the obvious fact that big companies don’t want to relinquish their control, the biggest hurdle to the decentralized networks is latency. In order to have a decentralized network that functions seamlessly and without lag, you’d need incredibly powerful servers. Those servers are expensive. That’s why most decentralized networks are comprised of lesser-powered machines. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/dapps/
It should come as no surprise that when you power a decentralized network with subpar hardware, you’ll get a subpar experience. Until someone creates a compression algorithm that can assist that underpowered hardware, the idea of a decentralized network will remain a pipe dream for most. It’s not an impossibility, it’s just a challenge.
One that we will someday meet.

Impact of Bitcoin on Global economy
How Bitcoin Transforms Global Economy
The story of Bitcoin is indeed just getting started, but it’s already transforming the global economy. In this matter, it becomes crucial to know how it will shape the global economy and market in the coming years. Here are some visible impacts of Bitcoin on the worldwide economy.
#1. Shifts in Global Investments
Many investors are now adding cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, into their portfolios. This is most likely because bitcoin allocation higher their chances to improve portfolio upside. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-cryptocurrency/
VanEck reports that: “a small allocation to bitcoin significantly boosts the cumulative return of a 60% equity and 40% bonds portfolio allocation mix while only minimally impacting its volatility.” https://www.vaneck.com/globalassets/home/us/insights/blogs/investment-outlook/vaneck-digital-assets--the-investment-case-for-bitcoin.pdf
On the other hand, some experts are having an ongoing-concern about the Bitcoin collapse that can spark a global financial crisis. But, at the end of the day, investors see cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation.
#2. Separates Transactions from the Dollar
Cryptocurrencies do not require any connection to the U.S. dollar. The involved parties of a financial transaction are given another avenue to participate in the global economy while, at the same time, circumventing U.S. economic policies.
Even though it might seem like a threat to the government because the U.S. dollars act as the reserve currency for the global economy (which is the primary source of US’ global power), it enables more international transactions.
#3. Eliminates the Need for Middlemen
Bitcoin as a whole is inherently designed to allow peer-to-peer electronic transactions between counterparties without the intervention of any third party. It does not require an intermediary, or a go-between, unlike the traditional currency. Transactions are validated in a decentralized fashion.
This fact has made banking institutions anxious, as it eliminates the need for their service. What’s more, transacting through cryptocurrencies is much quicker as it doesn’t have to pass through multiple hands.
#4. Encourages More Overseas Transactions
Since lots of people living in countries around the world with weak economies still don’t have a bank account, Bitcoin comes in handy to engage them with the global internet economy.
That way, people who live in typically less developed countries have a chance to connect with the internet economy. All that is needed is a digital wallet to make transactions anywhere in the world.
In the last three months of 2020, each day saw an average 287,492 confirmed Bitcoin transactions worldwide. https://www.blockchain.com/charts/n-transactions?timespan=180days
The transaction it’s quite fast, transparent, confidential, and secure. Also, the transaction fees may be much more affordable than in conventional payment systems (credit or debit cards).
#5. Reduces High Reliance on Fiat Money
As a decentralized currency, Bitcoin is free from any economic and political issues that often can affect traditional currencies. That’s where Bitcoin is designed to be a digital currency that can be an alternative for authorized or fiat money.
Today, customers have become more reliant on digital transfer (as it’s convenient in the sense of transaction speed) as a handy means to pay for products and services. Using Bitcoin as a payment method can reduce the reliance on traditional or authorized money.
What is more interesting is that the people who have already dabbled in Bitcoin believe that their virtual cash enjoys the same level of security as authorized money.
#6. Regulation of Bitcoin
Now that Bitcoin has become ubiquitous, both national and regional authorities prompt to grapple with their financial regulations. In this matter, central banks are working hard to put this ad hoc financial system under control. It can lead to laws specifically addressing this cryptocurrency and speculative bubble that Bitcoin will potentially cause.
Different countries have different approaches to cryptocurrency, some of them (Algeria, Bolivia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam) ban any or all activities involving Bitcoin. https://blockgeeks.com/cryptocurrencies-and-governments-war-or-cooperation/
In contrast, some others use it as a means of payment. For example, in the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, the European Union accepts cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, as a means of payment even by government agencies.
#7. Removes Barriers to Entry and Emerges New Market
Bitcoin established a global decentralized transaction network that eliminates the necessity of any centralized institutions for currency issuance and settlement. In this case, it has opened the door for a new kind of market and opportunities where no authority or individual controls the money market.
So, rather than persuade the venture capitalists, banks, and other financial institutions for their prospective project, they can bypass the regulations and authority through Initial Coin Offerings (ICO). With ICO, startups and small businesses around the world can sell some of their coins to get their business off the ground.
#8. Opens Access to a Credit System
Bitcoin enables unbridled access to a reliable credit system since it’s a type of unregulated digital currency that’s based wholly on data. If the price remains stable for an extended period, it’ll be able to bridge people who are isolated from global merchants continuously.
Thus, it will open new markets as well as new opportunities that can contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth in the global economy. What’s more interesting is that Bitcoin does not require any pricey fees for transactions, which makes it much more appealing for its users– and people who are considering using it.
#9. Starts New Era of Crowdfunding
Talking about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies isn’t complete without mentioning ICOs. In 2017, it was the talk of the technology town as it has become the leading crowdfunding method for blockchain-based startups. This new method of crowdfunding allows companies or organizations to raise capital in the form of cryptocurrencies.
CB Insights reports that over 5x more capital deployed in ICOs compared to the equity financings to blockchain startups in 2017. At the end of 2017, the number jumped to a whopping 7x. https://www.cbinsights.com/research/blockchain-vc-ico-funding/
What happens in ICO crowdfunding is that the investors buy cryptocurrency coins that represent shares in the project, just like how the stock market works. Hence, the shares have the potential to increase in worth if the company does well. It’s referred to as crypto equity crowdfunding.
This new era of crowdfunding is crucial in helping inventors, entrepreneurs, and creators improve the world, including creating a sustainable economy.
#10. Changes on the International Remittances Industry
Overseas remittance drives economic growth in emerging economies. That way, many people around the world work overseas and regularly send money to their families and loved ones in their home country.
At present, this money has to be managed by intermediaries, including banks or other money transfer services that charge high costs for transaction fees. Also, the transaction process is so slow and takes several days before the receiving party can access the funds. In this matter, Bitcoin comes as a game-changer.
Bitcoin can instantly be transferred across the globe securely. It makes the overseas remittance process a lot easier, cheaper, and more secure. Today, at least 11 Bitcoin providers have already started foreign remittance services, including Ribbit, BitPesa, and Abra.

LSKcoin: How to monetize social media contents
Good day everyone. I hope you are all doing well.
I want to stress something out. "Am not the owner of this article, i got a permission to share it here. I think you all especially those writing as a profession will be interested in this thats why i decided to bring it here. Its source is from Blockgeeks.com. This is a good platform to learn crypto currencies with video tutorials. I will urge you all interested in crypto currencies to check it out".
**LKS Foundation announces LKSCOIN (LKS)**, a new cryptocurrency created specifically **for those who create content and publish it online**. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-cryptocurrency/
Thanks to LKSCOIN, in the future it will be possible **to track content within social networks** and in general those published by users on the web. It is thus a fast payment method for digital content published on social networks. https://www.lkschain.io/
The market for digital content is growing continuously and at a very fast pace thanks to the growing demand on the part of an increasing number of social network users. However, paradoxically, it is not the content creators who benefit but above all the platforms on which the content is published.
Moreover, it is still very difficult to protect the copyright of digital content produced by users.
For these reasons, the LKS foundation wanted to provide content creators with a tool that can help them make sure that they are the beneficiaries of this growth and of what they produce, not the platforms on which they publish.
This solution involves the **LKSCOIN cryptocurrency**, specifically designed to be a currency for content, and non-fungible tokens (NFT) which will solve the copyright problem by clearly defining the authorship of the various works. https://en.cryptonomist.ch/?s=ntf
The LKS token aims to have a real social impact, seeing that there are several hundred million users who produce online content, and currently earn nothing from the content they produce, nor can they protect the authorship in any way.
In addition, it can be integrated within social network platforms to enable remuneration for its users.
The first to integrate it was the **social network Cam.TV**, with more than 300,000 users, where LKSCOIN has already been tested for over a year. To date, Cam.TV records on average more than 30,000 LKS transactions per day resulting from likes (which in Cam.TV are donations) and from users purchasing and selling digital services and products within the social network.
Cam.TV is a social network specifically created to generate an economic system suitable for the valorization of users’ talents, who can monetize their content thanks to LKSCOIN.
Among other things, by subscribing Cam.tv users will be able to get discounts for the IEO, which will start on March 31st, 2020 on the Eidoo exchange. http://cam.tv/ http://eidoo.io/
Thanks for reading. I hope you love this opportunity and use it well. Remember, always stay safe.
As a crypto newbee, should we invest in Ethereum now?
Good day once more everyone. I hope you are all doing well.
Today I will talk on this topic "As a crypto newbee, should we put our money in Ethereum?"
This is a question I have gotten from so many friends and followers even on my social media platforms who are new or interested in the crypto currencies world.
I am not a crypto currency advicer or crypto educator. I am just a mere African female who loves to give advices and guidelines on so many aspects of life including crypto currencies.
I don't know much about crypto currencies and am barely 1month into my involvements in the crypto currency world. But as an advicer, I would love the crypto lords of this platform to help me in this. I need an answer to that question and reasons please.
I have monitored so many crypto currencies and even tokens and I have come to notice that whenever a coin is increasing gradually like the way Ethereum is,investors jump into it and even put millions into it. As a newbee in the crypto currency world, the money we have to invest is all we got, if it is lost or taken down by a bad investment decisions it affects us alot. This is why we ask for advices from the pros, and the lords of crypto because I myself don't even know the answer to that question and I have alot of people waiting for my response. If you have any idea please i would love it if you let me know down at the comment section or even yet, write an article containing the answers but i would love to be tagged so i can get my way to the answers easily.
Thank you all and God bless. Stay safe always.
Bad effects of copy and paste
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well.
I want to ask you all some questions.
"As a young amateur writer, What are your dreams? What do you dream to become as a writer? What do you aim to achieve as a writer? Why do you choose writing out of all the things to do in this world? What do you write for? What is the purpose of your writing career?
To be honest, am very sure not everyone in this platform can give a good and sincere answer to those questions. Not everyone here is even a writer, not everyone here is writing because they love it. This is the sincere truth. Most people here are just here for the BitcoinCash they earn or receive after the whole day and not because they are really writers or they love writing.
Be sincere to yourselves right now and ask yourself this question. "What is your purpose of writing in read.cash?"
I have seen millions of articles in this platform that has very clear evidence of copy and paste and I just tell myself "this person is just here for the money, nothing else"
Let me open your eyes to the benefits of writing articles by yourself in read cash apart from the cash or BitcoinCash you earn daily.
Firstly, when you write an article by yourself, you will be so proud of yourself when you see people complementing your article. You will be glad that they all love something you made from your brain and thoughts. That joy alone means alot to writers. When you complement a writer you make him very Happy and proud of himself.
Secondly, you get good connections and even sponsorships from different people when they see that you wrote a very wonderful article all by yourself without doing any copy and paste. I have gone through so many read.cash writer's profiles on their personal social media platforms because I loved one or two of their articles. I even followed some on Instagram and twitter. If tomorrow i end up needing a writer to do one or two writing jobs for me, i would just contact these writers through their social media platforms and give them the job. This is called CONNECTION. And you don't get connections when you copy and paste another person's work. People notice the little things you do in ignorance and they are taking notes.
Thirdly, when you write an article all by yourself, you will be able to explain these articles confidently. When you copy and paste an article from someone else, and you are asked a question in the comment section about that article, you wont be able to give a straight answer. You might not even reply that person ever again. This is very wrong and it stains your reputation and name with dirt. People will take you as a spammer because you are breaking one of the most important rule of this platform.
There are still more but this is where i will stop for now because I have noticed that most people here don't read long articles. When it is short they read every details. So i will stop here for now. I hope i have taught something good today. Thank you all and stay safe.
Key points to success in business
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well.
I just felt i should give a little tips on how to succeed and make a living off your businesses.
Strategize: Most of you have one or two businesses you are personally handling, some have business plans but you are having little problem on where to start and how to kick off these businesses. The first thing you have to do is to strategize. What i mean by strategize is that you have to plan on where you will set up this business, whether online or on physical contacts, you have to set up your business in a platform where you will find more customers or clients searching for your service. And lastly you have to plan how to get the attention of these clients, you have to make them choose you for their work. That is the strategy you need for a business.
Courage: Some of you especially the young adults that are new to the business world find it hard to convince a client that you are good for a work due to lack of courage. It is okay to be scared but don't let your fear bring you and your business down. You might be thinking if the client will like your work, if you will do it well, if your work will satisfy the client, etc. Don't worry about this. Challenge yourself to it and you will be surprised how good your work will be. This lack of courage is common to businesses like writing, graphic design, fashion design and so on. You will always have doubt on whether your work is good enough, it is normal but just make sure you put in your best and you will receive a wonderful result.
Socialize: A shy or less social individual is less likely to be a good business person. If you want to make it in the business world, you need to socialize, you need to make friends, you need to meet people. Attend different seminars and workshops and make sure you make one or two introductions. Give out your business card to these people you socialize with and i bet you, you will receive contracts like flow of blessings from God. Socializing and making friends also give you an opportunity to make huge business connections that can get you six figures(millions). All you need to do is talk with the right people at the right time and right place.
Grab every opportunity you can see: Also if you want to make it huge in the business world, you have to look out for opportunities at every point in time. Grab every opportunity you can come across and treat these opportunities like your life depends on them and you will surely get work contracts.
Make good use of the internet: At this point in time, people are making huge amount of money from the use of the internet. Take your business to the net, create/buy a wonderful website for your business and try to make sure it gets alot of traffic. If for instance you are a graphic designer and your website has lots of traffic, the moment a person searches graphic design on the net, your page pops up first and the person will surely look into your work,might even request for your services. This is one of the most effective way of gaining clients and make huge amount of cash.
There are more tips but this is all i can give for now. I might write more on this soon. Thank you all for reading, I hope i have taught you all something good today. Always remember to stay safe.
Music addict
Good day friends, I hope you are all doing well.
Today I would be talking on music addiction.
First of all what is Addiction:
Addiction in my point of view is defined as an uncontrollable love for something to a point that you can't live a minute without that thing.
Now that we know the meaning of addiction, let me define what music addiction is:
Music addiction is the uncontrollable love for music to a point that you can't live without listening to music one way or the other.
I am a very high music addict. Most times i get depressed and frustrated when i don't listen to music for just a day. Most of you that also loves music would know what i am talking about. Music has its way of driving itself down the soul and heart of a person to the point that the heart doesn't get any form of happiness without a little music.
I got these addiction when i was 18years old. And it all started when i started listening to edm kind of musics. I really thought it is something i would stop when i get older but i was totally wrong. Now at this my current age i still find it very hard to work or carryout my daily activities without an earpod or Bluetooth device plugged to my ear all day. Most times i even subscribe to a music channel and listen to all the albums recorded on that channel. Isn't this strange?
I would really love to reduce this my addiction to music at least to a minimal point but its really difficult to me. I would love to get suggestions from you all on how i can reduce this. Thank you so much and always stay safe.
How to boost your articles
Good day friends, i hope you are all doing well and safe.
I am writing this article because some members of read.cash especially the new members don't know how to boost their articles. I got questions on how to boost articles after I wrote an article on "how to get tips,views and subscribers on your articles" and I have decided to explain it all with pictures so that they will all get good understanding.
Firstly if you want to boost your article, you must have some BitcoinCash on your account in read.cash, if you don't have any amount in your read.cash balance you can also deposit a little amount from your external wallet. The reason you must have a little amount in your account is because you will have to pay a little sum inorder to get your articles boosted.
Now these are the steps.
First of all open the article you will like to boost and click on the sign that looks like a touchlight, it is beside the sign that looks like an eye where the number of views is displayed. Look at the picture below. Click on the sign i marked with red pen.
After that, a dialogue box will pop up and from there you will be able to input the amount of BitcoinCash you will like to pay. I think there is a specific amount you will pay to boost your article per day. Look at the picture below.
This are the steps. If you are still confused on how to do it or you need more information, you can click on "Read more" showing in the dialogue box and you will be taken to an article that will explain the process very well for you.
Thank you all and I hope i was able to help you all that don't know how to boost your articles. Keep up the good work and it will pay huge one day. Stay safe.
SLP tokens: good sources of income.
Good friends. I hope you are all doing well.
Today I will love to talk on SLP (Simple Ledger Protocol)tokens and everything I have learnt about it so far.
I was going through some articles on SLP token written by @Wise-N-Witty and @SLP-Foundation and i got some interest in it. I was told in a comment section to join some SLP token community groups in Telegram. I did so and i learnt alot from these communities including how to get their SLP tokens for free. Most of you might be wondering what SLP tokens are. Let me give a little explanation from my understanding, everything might not be correct as of now but these are somethings i learnt.
SLP tokens are tradeable tokens that was built on the BitcoinCash blockchain. These tokens can be gotten and traded in so many platforms as of when I learnt about this. These SLP tokens consists of:.
Flex coin(FLEX) which was worth about 0.34dollars when i read about it.
Gocrypto(GOC) which was worth about 0.03dollars.
ACD coin(ACD) which was worth about 0.26dollars.
SAI which was worth about 0.04dollars.
SPICE which was worth about 0.0003dollars.
Honest coin(USDH) which was worth about 1dollar.
And lots more.
I got to learn that the owners of these tokens can actually control the issuance of the token and its application in however form they want.
Also, can you believe that the same rules of the base blockchain layer wont all be applied, there by giving these token issuers the ability to be more flexible with how they want to use their tokens. This is termed freedom in my point of view and if you can think how i am thinking now you would notice that this is very beneficial to everyone with the SLP tokens. When I was reading about these token in an article in the net, I got to understand it has almost 6000 tokens which can be traded although i dont really know how true this information is.
Now enough with the explanations. I was lucky enough to get a tutorial on how to get these tokens for free and to be honest I have been making more crypto coins than i can ever imagine which means more cash for me. And it is exciting enough to know that these tokens can be traded in exchange platforms like bitcoin.com, Digifinex, Altilly, Coinex, Cryptophyl and lots more. This actually means that these tokens has high liquidity. They are highly requested for and you can easily sell these tokens due to the high amount of buyers it has.
I would seriously encourage each and every one of you to get involved in the growth process of SLP tokens and you will surely earn more than you can ever imagine. Thank you all. And stay safe.
How to get views,tips and more subscribers on read.cash
Good day once more. I hope you are all doing well.
I want to talk on something I have observed very closely on read.cash and I think this article might help the new comers and some of the old members. This is just what i think are the ways to get more attention, subscribers and tips on read.cash.
Here are some of the points:
Write original and interesting contents:
Ever since I came onto this platform, I have been going through most of the articles with high number of subscribers,views and tips and I noticed that most of them are original, and has highly interesting topics. I noticed that these articles are filled with contents that would make you want to read it even if you are in a haste. This kind of articles draw so much attention to them and they get high views and subscribers and even tips
Good and encouraging commenting: The best advice i would love to pass across to every member is that you should read and comment on articles not just because you want to get points but because you really read that article and you loved it or it really taught you something good.

Stars
Good day friends. I hope you are all doing fine. I will like to know how you are all doing down at the comment section.🤗
Today i will like to talk about something very special to me. The Stars.
Scientists and Astronauts round the world sees a star as a mere gaseous element of hydrogen and helium that emits bright light and heat far into the space but i want to ask you all a question. Do you just see a star as the scientists defines it? Does a star have any importance or significance to you? Does a star mean alot more than just a gas to you? Well I don't know the answer you all will provide but for me, A star means a lot more to me. I don't just see a star as a gaseous element or a mixture of any atmospheric chemicals. I see a star as a guardian, I see a star as an element of wishes coming true, I see a star as a symbol of peace, a symbol of bright futures, a symbol of bright dreams waiting to come true.
When I was a young little girl, i faced lots of hardship and problems as a little girl and the stars were always my resting point. Every night I stay outside the house staring deep into the star and somehow i was able to find a connection. I spoke to the stars, i told them my problems, there were some personal things i couldn't discuss with my parents but i sat outside staring at that distant star discussing and pouring out my heart to it. While I was doing this, i somehow found peace, i found rest. Most times i even sleep off outside with a heart filled of peace, rest, and silence.
I always waited so long to see a shooting star so i could make a wish while it shot past the earth. I did this because I believed a shooting star could take your wishes far beyond the galaxy to a place where it would be fulfilled and would come to pass in my life. To be honest, most times these wishes comes true even after i have long forgotten about it. Most of those wishes tends to come true now although i made them 15 or 17 years ago. This might sound untrue to most of you but believe me when i say a I have gained alot from that little billions of light that shines at night which most people see as worthless or has no use.
I have never seen a milky way in my entire life due to the fact that it doesn't happen in these part of the world that i live in but if i should get a chance to see one, i would be the happiest human being on the surface of the Earth. Even in pictures they look soo beautiful and elegant not to talk of when i view it happening live.
I have studied the scientific aspect of stars for a while during my leisure times and they are just a wonderful element of the galaxy. I have studied the milky way, the black hole which kind of looks scary, the galaxy of stars, the birth and death of stars and I have come to notice that these elements all happen for a reason. A reason that is very beneficial to us humans, it just happens like there is someone or God out there controlling it all. If you study the movements of stars you would notice that it is not just a normal movement. It is explicit, it is totally unexplainable.
I would end my article by just advicing you to take a little time to study the galaxy including the planets and the sun, you will be so shocked how all these activities carried out by these planetary bodies happens without our notice.
Take care of yourselfs and stay safe. ❤️❤️
Marriage pressures
Good day friends. I want to speak my view on marriage pressures faced by young women of our time. First of all i will define what i think marriage pressures are.
What is marriage pressures:
Marriage pressures is a situation where by a young adult lady or young woman is being pressured to get married as soon as possible either by parents, age, friends, colleagues, boyfriends and so on.
If you notice what is going on around us this days, you will find out that women at ages of 21 to 30years old are being pressured hotly on marriage. Most of the time its the parents of the girl forcing her to get married or she is getting too old to not have a husband, or all her friends around her are married except her and so on. This is not the way things should be. In Universities/colleges, girls even get married before graduation. I have so many friends who are eager to climb an alter and say yes to any man that comes their way as long as they are seen as married women. This is very very bad. Women of this ages no longer focus on achieving their set out goals and objectives but rather they put out their focus on the man that would come and marry them.
If you go on social media like Facebook and Instagram and even Twitter, you will find girls who are even begging men to come and marry them, most of them go as far as paying these men to act as husbands to them just so they can post their marriage pictures on social media and show their friends. Girls of these ages has even taken marriage to be a competition. They compete with their friends on who will get married first, can you just imagine how far this marriage issue has gone.
I was in an argument with a friend of mine, the topic of this argument was, "if a wealthy man comes to marry you and ask you to drop out of college, will you marry him and drop out?" She actually chose to get married immediately and i went against that. I told her that is it not better you achieve your goal first before you get married? I asked her a very stricking question that got her thinking twice. I asked her that, "what if that wealthy man becomes poor tomorrow, don't you think your education will help you feed your family??" To be sincere, any man that comes to marry me and refuses me to finish school first i wont marry him. I will chase him away from me as far as possible. This is how young ladies should act. Achieve your goals first before you get married because marriage stops a woman from achieving alot the moment you go into it. I hope I am speaking the mind of ladies in this platform and teaching those who are ignorant of this to chose the path of their lives wisely. Thank you all.
True Facts
Hi everyone. Am glad I am gradually beginning to fit into this wonderful place. I have made a few friends also which is also good. Thanks to everyone that has made me feel welcomed especially @feebieand @Rokay123 I appreciate it all.
Today i will write about something interesting and inspirational. The true facts.
I have come to a point in my life where i realized that happiness is not something that cannot be achieved, you can be happy with the smallest things in life. If you choose to ignore the fact that you are all in a much better position than someone else in life and choose to dwell on your misfortune then be ready to watch the years you would have spent doing fruitful things pass you by. In the end, the world doesn't owe anybody anything, the sun doesn't come out just to please you, the flowers doesn't grow because you exist, the moon certainly does not come out for your sake, so you might as well make the most of it while you're alive, strong and healthy. After all, what makes life beautiful is the hope on the possibilities of better things ahead. Depression and self harm can never fill any gap of loneliness and guilt, it only blocks your mind off the possibilities of a better future. I had known that because I've got these scars as proof.
In the end, I wont say I regret my childhood, I'm grateful for all the pains I had to endure and the tears I shed because it only made me stronger.
Thats all for now. Thank you all for reading.
Entertainment
Entertainment is described by the Oxford dictionary as "an action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment." It also went further to describe it as "the action of receiving a guest or guests and providing them with food or drinks". These definitions clearly explains what entertainment is but i will further explainit to includes anything that brings joyto the heart and most time bring smiles to the face of a person or can cause laughing and happiness.
When we mention the word entertainment, people are quick to drift their minds towards music. It is true music is a form of entertainment but its actually not tge only form, just like football is not the only form of sports. It spreads wide into acting, comedy, dancing etc.
In this article, I will narrow it down to just our music and movie industries. Lets take for instance, in Africa today its no news that the quality of works put out by most of our A-list artists are substandard when it comes to content. Most times we find some of our favorite acts, especially musical artists, putting out records that are different from what we knew them for. Don't get me wrong, change is essential because "variety they say is the spice of life" and I'm in no opposition to that, but the big question attached to change is: "Do I really need to change into this? Is it better than the place i was before?" If the answers are no then forget it.
We havev lots of artists, producers, directors and actors but only a few have been consistent, determined and dedicated to putting out good works for their fans as well as critics. But don't you think there's something making almost all the big names in the industry switch up when they get the fame? Oh well, i think so.
The truth is, these entertainers don't just wakeup in the morning and decide to switch up, because I don't think any person will like to stop chasing their dreams or sell themselves short especially when they are already at the top. We complain alot about crappy songs and movies in the industry, but nothing is going to change unless we the audience begin to entertain our entertainers.
Thank you all for reading. This is all for today. Have a good day all. And be safe.
Once Beautiful
Once i was new and unscathed. Great speed and adrenaline flowed With astounding strength I outpaced my peers on the track Towns, Cities, countries, beckoned I answered readily in voyage
Once, I would revel at times and seasons The rejuvenating feel of trickling rain down my windows The thrilling warmth of the sun on my windshield With regular drinks, I would feel anew I was sought after by the little Called upon by the great I was the face
Until tribulation hit The crux of my existence ceased With immobile legs Racing the streets became a fantasy The world, a dream Fortune was spent to renew me Hopes of revival were brightly bleak Yet deep down I thought my journey was from over Surgeries upon surgeries; Treatment upon treatment In lacklustre facilities I lay, listening to mundane hammering "You should be contented" He said Content with dying? With going extinct?
Then my eyes were opened I saw dishonesty and mischief Pits of death called roads The hoax of street lights And even in the lacklustre theatre Wherein I lay I still felt used and empty
I've grown old and rickety With a sagged body My once luxurious seats Now a kingdom of bugs Doors once majestic Now stand ragged, hanging loosely My once adorned self A home for sparrows and rodents A place of horror for the tender In desolation I brood Listening to the mockery of the young and yet agile With no more need for regular drinks Starvation sets in Leaving hopelessness in its wake As my Beautiful self is lost
Yet short burst of euphoria hits When I reminisce of my former glory Happy in the fact That I was once beautiful.
BitcoinCash, the future of crypto currency.
Good day friends. Hope you are all doing well. I will be writing on BitcoinCash today and this is just my mere view on what i think is going to be the outcome of this wonderful crypto currency in the nearest future and after the pandemic.
BitcoinCash from what I have learnt so far on this platform is a peer-to-peer electronic crypto currency that was drafted out from the all known bitcoin. I also got to know that BitcoinCash was subsplitted into two, the BitcoinCash and the BitcoinSV. Many calls the BitcoinCash "the hard fork of bitcoin". I am still trying to understand what that really means but with what I have seen and heard, I think when they say its the hard fork of bitcoin, they actually mean the better and fast version of bitcoin.
Now why do i think the BitcoinCash has a brighter future even after the pandemic?
I say this because of what I have observed between the communities and efficiency of both the bitcoin and the BitcoinCash. Many people who has thousands of bitcoin dont spend or use these coins. They keep it in their wallets for days, weeks and even years without spending it. This should have a bad effect to bitcoin as a currency. It makes it more scarce and uneasy to spread round the world. From what i understand about currencies of any kind is that, "the more you use and spend a currency, the stronger it becomes in the market",Which isn't the case of bitcoin.
Whereas in the case of the BitcoinCash, the communities of the BitcoinCash are stronger and spreading wide the world on a daily basis. The BitcoinCash is faster in transactions and charges way lesser transaction fees than the bitcoin. The BitcoinCash is being adopted by many people round the world as the better version of the Bitcoin and millions of people today use the BitcoinCash for easy and faster transactions due to its cheaper fees.
Now with this two illustrations i have given, you would see that BitcoinCash seems to have more hope of survival than the bitcoin in the nearest future. I will like to urge all communities of the BitcoinCash to keep up the good work that they have started. The time of celebration and excitement is drawing closer and closer. Keep your hopes high. We are with you all.
Thank you all.
Tips to be a high-selling freelancer
Good day everyone. Its yet another day of survival, we the survivor of this pandemic should continue to thank our God.
Today am going to br giving a little tips on how to move your business successfully as a freelancer. First of all,
Who is a freelancer;
A freelancer is someone who manages and runs his business on his or her own. Not working for someone but working for yourself. You make the decisions, you take the risks and you own the business and everything in it. That is a freelancer.
Most of you are very good book writers, content writers, graphic designers, fashion designers, web developers, UI/UX designers etc but you don't know how to draw the attention of your customers or how to even reach out to customers round the world. Here are some little tips on how to go about it.
Social media:
Most of you use social media like Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Whatsapp, etc to chat with friends and family everyday without knowing that you can earn millions with these social media platforms. Facebook most especially has given us the opportunity to publish and create good advert contents right on it. You can create a Facebook group or page for your business, invite friends and ask them to invite and share your page to everyone they know on Facebook. You would be so surprised to see someone from even Asia in your page requesting for your service within a matter of days and thanks to platforms like email, gmail, and lots more, we can now offer online services meaning you don't need to even know or meet the person that is requesting for your service. You can just seat at home and send your work to anybody round the world. Even social platforms like Linkedin has also given us the opportunity to get good business connections round the world.
Freelance platforms like Fiverr, Freelancer, 99designs and lots more:
Apart from social media platforms, we can also create and sell our works on freelance platforms like fiverr and the rest. I am currently selling on fiverr for my works and to be honest I am making good cash from that site. You can create a seller account on Fiverr, post your great eye-catching works and when customers come onto the site, they can view your work and request for your service instantly and the best thing about it is that it is online, you don't need to meet or know any customer. I bet if you make good use of a platform like Fiverr, you would be making nothing less than $100 in a week. You could even get contracts worth up to $500 from companies round the world in this platform. Give it a try and I bet you would be a high class earner within few months.
Youtube:
Most of you here might already have a You tube channel but you aren't making even a dollar from it which is very bad. Have you thought of using that channel to your own advantage? Using it to publicize your work? YouTube doesn't even charge you for posting anything on it, you can make a billion dollar advert on YouTube and you won't even be charged 1cent. Isn't that great!. Now all you need to do is open a YouTube channel for your business, put up a good eye-catching logo on it and make very good advert videos and post it up. You could even make a tutorial video of how you make most of your works or designs and people view it and learn alot from it. One advantage of YouTube is that your video is being watched round the world and now that there is lockdown, people spend most of their time watching YouTube videos which is a very great advantage to you. Take this up and start making this videos while you have the chance. You mustn't even create a video, you can also sponsor some high viewing channels on YouTube and in exchange they advertise your products on their videos, this could increase your chances of gaining much recognition on YouTube within few days.
Friends:
Till now most of you don't know the great advantage of close friends to you. Friends can actually make you become the billionaire of tomorrow. You might be shocked to know that your friends might have that great connections of business that you have been searching for all year. I am a fashion designer and my friend's mother is a high class cloth selling. I took that advantage and asked her for support and partnership. I make beautiful cloths, she sells it and we share the profit 70/30 percent. This has made my business move from grass to grace. I sometimes see people in another country wearing my cloth design and i am soo proud of myself. Now, that my friend is the bridge to this success. She helped me to talk her mother into helping me sell my products on her shops and platforms for free and we share the profit at the end of the day. Thats a great start as a freelancer. Ask your friends for support, they could help you advertise and share your business adverts on their own social media platforms. That is what friends are for. Make good use of your friends and you both would smile a great smile at the end of the day.
Thank you so much for reading. I truly hope you all learnt something useful from me today. Stay tuned for more and i would appreciate tips or thumbs up.
If you have any questions or suggestions you can comment down below and I would be happy to give you an answer. I appreciate it.
Religion part 3
IV. Role of religious institutions in society:
As religion so its institutions also play an important role in social life. None can deny the fact that the different kinds of social institutions such as, domestic, economic and political influence on religious institutions.
But it is also true that these institutions are sometimes influenced by religious institutions. An important aspect of religion is prayer and different classes of people belonging to different castes of society assemble I religious institutions for performing prayer and worship. By these activities there forms common feelings which thereby further generate a common sentiments and fellowship amongst the worshipers of a particular religion.
Sometimes it is found that the members of a particular religion unite together, and for the greater interest of the society they perform different humanitarian activities. It is evident from the above that religious institutions perform not only their religious activities , they also discharge different types of activities related to social welfare such as, charitable hospitals, schools, homes for the homeless. These institutions also run orphanages and collect money for the poor people.
It cannot be denied that religion has an external form of social control. The different activities of the people and their different spheres of social life are still influenced by religious rites and ceremonies. People generally express their religious feelings through rituals and ceremonies. It is also true that almost all the aspects of lives of primitive people were covered by religious practices, although these were crude in nature and did not have any precise organization. We find that there are different important occasions in our social life such as, birth, marriage, harvesting, hunting, death etc. and in all these activities religious rites were performed in primitive societies. By doing these activities there developed a common feeling s and actions which are very much other than religious functions. Not only in primitive societies but also in modern societies religious activities occupy an important place. The different occasions of social life, such as birth, death, marriage etc. religious rites are performed. Similar activities are found in the events related with economic life also.
Moreover, it is found that, in almost all communities religious rites are common practices during various occasions in social life such as, inauguration of a new building, oath taking etc. From the above description of the role of religion in social life, it is evident that a regular order of procedure is developed by religion in society and thus it helps to control the society.
Religion helps to shape the character of an individual and thereby it moulds social life. It brings forth the sense of social value in the mind of people. In obeying the social laws or to respect the elders and to show sympathy towards the feelings of others, or to discharge the social obligations faithfully, the role of religion is immense. In those cases it acts as a teacher. Not only this, a sense of fellow feeling amongst the people belonging to different communities is also taught by religion. Moreover, religion teaches that the man‟s love and services to God will be real only if he loves and serves humanity. In developing moral consciousness amongst people, religion acts as an inspiring factor. Religion enforces uniformity of behaviour and it strengthens social solidarity and thereby acts as an instrument in stabilizing social order.
In primitive age the influence of religion was very great in controlling society and this feature is not totally lost even today. Social life of primitive people were controlled by inspiring God-fear in their minds but in modern age people are inspired not by fear but by the hope for the attainment of virtuous and noble life. Thus by fostering patriotic sentiments in men, religion helps to maintain social integration.
In describing the role of religion Dr. S. Radhakrishanan says that religion has innumerable effects.
Religion not only guarantees values but it also gives meaning to life. Moreover, the confidence to go on adventures is also inculcated in our mind by religion. Thus narrating the role of religion he says, “Religion is the discipline which touches the conscience and helps us to struggle with evil and sordidness, saves us from greed, lust and hatred, releases moral power and imparts courage in the enterprise of saving the world”.
People live in the third world countries such as, India, Africa, Brazil etc. derive their sense of life from religion and as such religion is very important to them. They get the answers of many questions that appear in their minds. The questions such as, who we are? What is the purpose of life? What is life and what is death? Is there anything after this life? - are very common for human being and they are curious to have answers of these questions. But in the third world countries science is not so developed to answer these questions. Thus, it is religion from which they seek to get answers of these questions.
This would be all for now. Thank you all for reading and I really hope you learnt one or two things from this. You can support me with tips or a thumbs up. It will be appreciated.
Stay safe all.
