My Introduction - Why I Chose This Platform Hello friends and good evening from my side. Hope you are having a great Sunday? It's the first Sunday of the last month of the year, hence we have a lot to be thankful for as it is has not been easy in this year of pandemic, but despite all the troubles and challenges, you and I are here today and for that I'm grateful to God, and I hope you are too. OK, I'm new to this platform as you must have guessed from the title, maybe not…

Moderate Goals As I'm new to this platform, I have been reading and getting the feeling of the whole ecosystem. One of the things I've done to notice is that there are some traditions on this platform such as, contests, raffles, prompts, challenges, monthly/achievement reports, as well as setting of goals for the new month. I love some of these and I hope to participate in some as well go, but as of now, even though it's late, I would love to also set goals for this month.…

What Are We Becoming? I don't know about you my friend, but sometimes in my free time, I just wonder, is there anything we do today that the men of old didn't really do? They didn't have any of the tech we have today, but they did it all and still live a happier and fuller life, with cleaner air and water? You don't get it, do you? I'm the kind of person that does comparison a lot; not the person to person comparison, although that does occasionally come it, but it certainly…

Snake In The Toilet: Myth? Well, I don't speak for everyone but the idea of snakes showing up I'm people's toilet have been going around for a while, and people actually believe it happens. Trust the Nigerians to make a beautiful joke out of anything, even a situation as bad as having been bitten to death on your ads by a snake while trying to relieve yourself. There were all sorts of meme made out of it, with some recommending different ways to safely use the cistern…

At What Point Can We Be Selfish? I usually lack for a way to open my articles all the time. I always want to start with a catching and exquisite opening, but all the same, I've never really been able to get any and today has been no different. I've been trying to come up with an article, but worse to find is a good opening. I've given up on getting one though, I guess catching titles and openings aren't just my thing or maybe I'm not experienced or creative enough yet to be…

Man's Destiny: For Him or Fate To Decide? Contrary to what most motivational speakers would have you believe about how people have no direction of plans for their lives and future, it's actually a very rare occurrence to find a man who has no plan for his future. Even the lower animals that are closer to humans on the evolution ladder seek to do more than just survive and proliferate as some of these animals have developed some abilities that you would have yourself believe…

Why We Do It Series: Work This question might have been ask a numerous amount of times over the many years of man's hmm, let's say eventful existence. It has been asked in different context and the answer has been mostly situational. As creatures of habits, we are programmed to always self-preserve, and most times, we're willing to do this at any reasonable (and unreasonable) cost. You might imagine I'm asking you why you work at all, but that's not the case. Of course I'm…

Progress Report It was a week ago that I decided to come on this platform. I did my due diligence on all the write to earn platforms available before deciding to stick with this one and even though it's been just a week, I can say it wasn't a bad choice. You may ask, why? Well, I stated all the things I was looking for in such a platform and that made up my first published article here on read.cash, and today, I can say I've not been dissapointed as this platform have lived…

Human Ignorance One of the things I find most exhausting about humans is their thinking that they are so intelligent, that they can control everything that happens to them and within their surroundings. Of course, there are different people on earth, those who believe in God, those who believe in evolution and those who couldn't give a nick about any of all that. Those who believe in a god thinks they can control the happenings in their lives, the lives of their loved ones…

Old Age And Hard Work *What's with old age and hard work*? It is a thing of trend these days to hear that the best way to work is not to work hard nor diligently but to work smart. While this totally sounds cliche, and most cliche are either erroneous or just indoctrinated excuses and nonsense, I have tried to critically look at this one. The first thing you find when you put this cliche under the microscope of reasoning is that smart work is sorely relative, subjective, and…

Reviewing The Year And New Resolutions It's almost a tradition nowadays for people to make new year resolutions and set new goals for the year. This is usually the product of an end of year reflection on our life and goals and how much closer we are to achieving it. More often than not, these reflections tells us we have either fell short or failed on ourselves on the road to achieving that which we desire. Depending on the kind of person you are, that might challenge you…

That's A Lie Have you ever been in a situation where you know somebody is lying and they don't budge? Like you know, a glassware has been destroyed and there has been only two people in the house all day and you know fully well you didn't do it and still the other person is saying he didn't do it? It can be quite confusing right?? Interestingly, lying is now a common thing nowadays. Growing up, we were taught to be honest even at the cost of been punished, something you can…

Don't Just Jump Into It Happy Sunday folks. How was service today and hope you had a nice weekend. So, I didn't go to church today (oops!) as I had a commitment to fulfill this morning. Don't look at me like that, I already gave them my word that I'll be there this morning, so I couldn't leave them hanging, even God expect us to stand by what we say, so yes don't give me that look😁. You know, some of the most inspirational advice making the rounds these days is that you…

Best Christmas Ever (#BCHNigerianForumXmasChallenge) It was the year 2005, my dad had decided that despite how rough things were for the family that period, we were going to celebrate Christmas properly as other families in the neighborhood did. We lived in the outskirts of the town of Ekpoma close to the forest. In those days, it was a relatively quiet and peaceful town made up of folks who were caring and made mostly of the middle class. My parents and other siblings had…

Busting The Myth: BTC Is More Secure Than BCH The debate and comparison of bitcoin and bitcoin cash is as old as bitcoin cash itself. But to fully do justice to any such debate or comparison, one would need to know the history of how bitcoin cash came to be. Bitcoin Cash came as a result of a hard fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain. This happened on On August 1st, 2017, when some members and developers of the bitcoin community whom didn't agree with the other faction on…

I'm A Santa For Just One Let me tell you a little bit about @Kushyzee and why he deserve this visit from Santa and even more. When I got admitted into the University of Benin, I was pretty much an introvert. Interestingly he's technically an introvert too, so you can imagine the likelihood of us knowing each other as very slim not to mention becoming friends, but life happens. All through my 100L, we didn't even notice each other, but in 200L towards the end of the second…

Good evening friends. I'm sorry I've not been so present here since yesterday. I've been busy since yesterday, so I've had to just try and read as much article as I can. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back at it fully
@Talon
Two Days Past Hey guys.. How's it going? I hope we are all doing fine and well? It's been quite the 48hours. The past two days has been really... I don't even know how to qualify it though. Yesterday, I was mostly busy as I went to help in preparation of the naming of the child of my school's farm manager. It wasn't as hectic and tasking as I thought it would be, but it was certainly more disruptive and time demanding than I could have possibly imagined. I got there early…

I Finally Went Home Good morning readsters. Merry Christmas my wonderful read family. I'm sure Christmas is in full swing over there, it is over here, the dancing, singing, fireworks, merriment and so on. I was planning to be very active on the platform yesterday as I had been so active this week. Unfortunately, my health deteriorated even further; not a good time to be sick, eh? The school had officially gone on break about a week ago, but I had no intent to go home for the…

Didn't Feel Like Christmas Merry Christmas guys.. I know it's almost coming to an end, at least the day, or for my Filipino friends, it's been over for almost five hours now, is it? Nonetheless, hope you had fun and had a good time with your family, I mean that's one of the wonderful things Christmas reminds us to do. For my family, Christmas is about tradition, everything has to follow an already laid down pattern that we've had for years now. For example, the bags of rice…

When It doesn't Feel Like Family I don't know about other parts of the world, I can't really speak for them, but I do know that in Africa, particularly Nigeria, we are taught that family is everything. From birth to adulthood, we are subconsciously and at some point consciously taught that family matters more than anything there is. This is one of the main reason for the lack of patriotism and national spirit in most Africa countries as people's allegiances are directed at…

Freewill: What's Your Take?? I'm just going to jump right into this one. I don't know about you and how your day went, but mine has been one of the best day of my life, even though I'm actually kinda in pain right now at the end of it. Maybe jumping into it wasn't best. Good evening guys, I hope you had a good day? My day pretty much started in the farm as usual, but I wasn't going to spend tHe whole day there. I finally got to go out with a very special friend of mine (the…

Busting The Myth: Bitcoin Can Not Buy Anything Before I even embark on busting this myth, I have to express my dismay at it. I mean, how on earth is this still even a myth? It is beyond me really. When Nakatomo went about creating BCH, he had a number of objectives in mind, all of which revolved around replacing fiat with something that can't be regulated by an elected few. Some of these objectives can be summarised as follows: 1. To create a form of currency that can be…

Busting The Myth: Flipstarter Is For BCH Projects I tried thinking about this myth and it didn't make sense to me, so I went to do a bit more research, maybe I'm not well informed. Well, having done my research, I still don't see how this argument is even valid in the sight of anyone. To really get a full understanding which is a prerequisite for an objective assessment of this argument, you have to understand what flipstarter is really about. According to flipstarter.cash…

Insecurities (Part One) It's not very often that people talk about topics such as this, and for good reasons. It's human nature to want to front our best part, our strength to the world, while hiding the weak and ugly part of us from public knowledge at least. This has become increasingly hard because of the advancement in technology and our ways of living that makes it possible to almost never forget things that we might come to know. This is especially true of the internet…

Bitcoin Can Be Hacked In the cryptocurrency space, we have the community, the fans, the supporters, as well as skeptics and detractors. While it is very true that there's nothing that will make detractors give up the wrong notions they hold, it's important we try to unveil the fallacy of these notions for the sake of the skeptics. One of the things that bitcoin prides itself on, is that it's very secure (and as claimed by some in the community, unhackkable). As expected, the…
