Wondering why plagiarists do what they do...
Plagiarism, as we know, is copying the works of others and claiming those to be ours. There are various reasons why people do this act. But those reasons are not excuses to go on with our illegal activity. I wonder why they have to plagiarize when they can just write what they can.
Recently, I saw articles about plagiarism. Some users here are actually capitalizing on the articles of others. They simply copy articles of others from similar platforms, edit a few words then publish those here. The bitter part is that they get credit for something they did not write.
That's stealing!
I thought that, those who can write have still doubts with their skills. But these plagiarists, they have the guts to copy others' and earn from those articles!
I got irritated a while back while going over the profile of the user whom @Pantera has named to be a plagiarist (read here: Another day, Another plagiarist). Here's a screenshot of what I saw in the comments. https://read.cash/@Pantera/another-day-another-plagiarist-8370254d
One could deduce that this user 'chrishoffman' copies articles of others and even fearlessly claim those to be his. Look at his reply to @edicted , "There may be some similarities in the internet world, this is perfectly normal. Thanks."
But how similar could those be!
Anyway, his account seems to be on spam now.
He doesn't seem to get the quip by edicted! My God! Maybe because he is an anonymous user?
I hope that we all be on the lookout of similar users who don't stop doing their activities. What if one day, the platform will just shut down because of them?
This is just a short post, y'all! As I have said, I will just be here around, reading.
How's everything going?
I have not been posting recently due to some circumstances. I hope you forgive me for that.
Meanwhile, I will just be reading here and there with this account. I hope you understand.
Read yah! 😊
My Day
After months of getting water from public water source for everyday use, we were finally able to have our own tank. We had water delivered to us last night. So instead of pumping water out from the usual source, we saved time and used it for our laundry.
Since there are no due school tasks yet, we used the day to wash clothes. We swept the floor a little, buffed it, then folded clothes. Afterwards, I went to my computer then tried to do things in advance. I do not want again to be rushing during near deadlines.
My mom duties alternated with house chores and this is one of the few times that I get to enjoy my time with the kids without the pressure of deadlines. As things are yet to go messy, I am already minimizing troubles by lessening the loads of work.
In the afternoon, we went to see the kid's aunt and we ate pancit canton. I do not really recommend this habit of eating instants but we ate those anyway. The two little kids from the three siblings wanted the non spicy pancit canton so their brother went to buy their request. We now all had our share from it and we now just enjoyed sitting together and relaxing.
We went home after a few hours.
On our way, I saw the produce of the yard of our neighbors. You have squash, 'pappait', talong, sayote, and papaya. Since these were planted by the former occupant of the house so we, the neighbors, share these blessings. One of us gathered pappait while I claimed pieces of squash and papaya. It was a nice feeling harvesting directly from the land without having to go to the market and buy fruits and vegetables.
I cooked rice, prepared the viand for the evening. We ate when hubby came. The kids slept then I finally sat here to write this post.
So that's my day.
How about you? How are you? How's your day?
Quality Articles about BCH: Recommended Must-Reads
As I have been very busy the past few days with my school requirements, both as a teacher and student, I was not able to push thru with more BCH-related articles. The best I could write were BCH went back and stayed with the whitepaper! and BCH as the Realization of the Unsung Desires of Many. https://read.cash/@ZerlinMorareng/bch-went-back-and-stayed-with-the-whitepaper-690060f8 https://read.cash/@ZerlinMorareng/bch-as-the-realization-of-the-unsung-desires-of-many-7e4ca302
Thankfully, a simple and ultimate guide to BCH beginners was written by @Pantera (read here: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Bitcoin Cash) and after I read it, many of my questions were answered and that leads me to say that it is a must-read article for a beginner like me. https://read.cash/@Pantera/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-bitcoin-cash-28ae53ab
Seriously, I studied it's contents and many things have been cleared off my mind.
Let me tell you one thing, I am a lazy writer who refuses to budge once she's in front of the computer. But I tell you also that when I work and finally understand something, I really understand it. At least in the sense that I am confident with what I am saying.
If you read the article mentioned above by @Pantera you will be able to catch the basics and have your hesitations erased if BCH is indeed the correct bitcoin. I also encourage you to subscribe and read his other articles because his writing niche is all about BCH.
You get to read every so often here at this platform the phrase, "BCH is bitcoin" and here comes the many more articles that I strongly recommend to support why such is the emergent theme.
Read all article's by @CryptoMax about BCH. I already recommended some of his works in my article, BCH as the Realization of the Unsung Desires of Many. Allow me to insert that part here: https://read.cash/@ZerlinMorareng/bch-as-the-realization-of-the-unsung-desires-of-many-7e4ca302
`Other articles which may give us a better idea on why there is so much fuss about BCH are the following: (all articles are @CryptoMax 's)`
`Voluntaryism is Happening: Control and Custodians Are DONE!!`
`I've learned here, especially, the meaning of voluntaryism and how we as BCH lovers are helping voluntaryists.`
`Bitcoin Cash is Evolving: It’s Happening!`
`No doubt that this is a novel content! Integrated is his discussion about why read.cash is evolving with BCH.`
`BTC Possy and Maximalists Censoring Failures: They Don’t Disappear!`
`In here you will read a lot of sound analogies about what those who are shortsighted are doing. In the end, truth will come out and reality will strike us.`
`Bitcoin Cash: Success is INEVITABLE! We Won!`
`No need to cross fingers. We've won!`
`BCH is Good, Banks Are Bad, CBDCs are Worse!`
`What hit me here is the reality about securing our keys to our money and I quote:`
`"People always rant about how stupid it is that you lose money if you lose your keys and stuff - man, if you think your financial life isn't important enough for you to bother to save a key, you deserve to lose everything anyway."`
`Hahaha, well?`
`Embrace Crypto Capitalism: Prosper or Die!`
`I especially like the analogy that the author used here about someone important who strongly opposed the development of something until finally the product won due to the fact that the product made things easier for people. Read on to know how you'll prosper (HODL) or die (cashing out to FIAT).`
I also recommend Daily Reading Activities #5: Bitcoin Cash Landed on Moon by @andrianlover. He is very diligent in going around and appraising worthy articles. There will be overlaps in our recommended articles but he has additional insights why he recommends such. https://read.cash/@andrianlover/daily-reading-activities-5-bitcoin-cash-landed-on-moon-aefe9772
Read about Dealing with BCH haters by @Charmy. We also need to know how to deal with people who still don't understand how BCH works. In here, the author discussed how she dealt with BCH haters. She also gave recommendations on articles that must be read. Still has overlaps with mine. https://read.cash/@Charmy/dealing-with-bch-haters-45db5146
And of course the article of my cute sponsor, @carisdaneym2: Another Goal Achieved with the help of Bitcoin cash and YOU! (MY PRINTER). https://read.cash/@carisdaneym2/another-goal-achieved-with-the-help-of-bitcoin-cash-and-you-my-printer-4d4f1693
So that's it for now. I will stop here and be sharing more of my other recommendations as I go around and appraise other articles. Many are still out there to share!

Trimester Finally Over! Takeaways...
*Note on lead image:* Only trimester is over, no graduation yet! haha!
The semester is finally over! I can't believe that I was able to make it to the end despite my nonstop whines and complaints! I complained a lot and there was that tinge of regret I felt every so often for ever deciding to enroll when all I wanted to do was write my life away. Even so, I was able to pass all my requirements and I will just wait to see how I did during the semester...
I tell you, it wasn't an easy ride. I had to attend to my students, to my children and hubby. On top of all those, I have my passion in writing that I do more often than anything else. There were times I felt displeased with myself for being lazy for the past years. I should have learned more about Mathematics, now I'm lagging behind. Anyhow, I believe I still did satisfactory well and I could say I learned so much during the term.
Now I wish to share to you all the lessons I learned during the course of my first semester in graduate school.
*Take note* that I have no intention of giving any lecture. I am just sharing my experiences and realizations.
Significant Learnings During the Semester
****Quantitative and Qualitative Data Analysis****
I think it was in the second module that we were already being required to pass a micropaper. Meaning that, aside from researching for literatures from journals, we also have to be very particular with the format of our references. In any paper, we have to think logically and make sure that our insights are aligned with what we are supporting. I always struggled before with essay writing or composition, or just anything which requires you to create a paragraph or so, string of words or whatever. If only today were years ago, I would've stopped studying just because of those. I had the notion before that I only could do well with numbers but there I was wrong. Understanding is key and whether we're dealing with numbers or words, for as long as we had the understanding and the goal for what we are doing then we will be able to accomplish what we're tasked to do.
Thankfully, after so much self-doubt I did my research, asked help from one of my classmates before, complied with the instructions and sent my pdf file to my professor. I was surprised to receive positive feedback! From then on, my confidence have been boosted and every time we were required to pass something, I always looked forward for the essay types! What a great milestone for me.
You may be thinking that I am writing here and I'm still dreading essays. Well, I think that when I write for pleasure, it feels very much different from when I write in the academic setting. Now, I don't feel pressured anymore with essays. Thankfully!
The next requirements were approached with excitement and eagerness to venture in the challenges that those requirements brought. I was able to submit everything on time.
****Statistical Theory****
Calculus have been my favorite subject and that Statistics was my least. Or so I thought. After the introduction and series of video lectures from my pogi Statistics professor, I came to appreciate what I failed to see before! Voila, I could apply my seemingly inapplicable knowledge in calculus to compute areas below curves of functions in Statistics. Since then, I awakened yet again my desire to learn more and study more in Mathematics. And mind you, these subjects are very much usable in the crypto world.
At the moment, I say that my knowledge in these areas are very much elementary as compared to the real deal. We had many problem sets, and though I admit that some were very very hard for me, I could say I've always been in a high while studying and doing them. Fortunately, some had passing scores or even with full mark. I also had two sets which obtained below half of the total scores. We can't brag ahead and all there is to it is continuous studying whether in the formal setting or otherwise. But I am advising myself against self study as I won't be forced to do what needs to be done. I hope my will to study will persist so I will continually enroll in formal settings.
So there, those that I failed to understand before are finally being illuminated with the help of passionate educators. I myself is a teacher and I know I have a role to play for the youth.
****Advanced Calculus****
At the onset of this course, we were already being called for recitation. We were to submit lecture videos, powerpoint presentations, and problem sets. It was a given that I love the subject, so I just enjoyed solving and discussing. Fortunately, there were 3 new topics for me. As it has always been for me, they were exciting and interesting to study.
****Requirements' Woes and Examination Stress****
Much as I wanted to run away from requirements, I can't because firstly, I am studying with the support of our school's scholarship program. I thought that I was lucky I had the opportunity for the 'free' studies. Although there will be return service with ratio one year to one year but still at least I didn't have to get money out of my pocket. I did but very minimal amount.
As for the examinations, it still felt like I was a collegian. I became nervous every time but the feeling was coupled by anticipation. I was grateful that I was able to do well in the midterm exams. Not to brag but even though I'm lazy and messed up, I still managed to study and read every single note or watch every single lecture video that our professors upload or give us. Still waiting to see my performance during the finals. But anyway, what is more important at this point is to be able to finish until graduation. The concluded trimester was just my beginning term and I shouldn't be too complacent not until I finished my degree.
**Closing Thoughts**
The trimester is over but the journey has just started. One milestone reached and I should feel proud I made it to the end of the trimester. The life of a student is hard but also enjoyable and full of lessons and experiences. I hope that I will never forget how my professors helped me realize the many things that I failed to see before. Truly I am grateful. But most of all, I thank Him that He lent me the things that I have always been asking for.

The Gift of Writing
I am letting my hands do its work, pouncing and typing without minding my demotivation. Motivation doesn't exist--we act and that's it, we are only able to accomplish something by doing. Not by waiting for motivation to come and lift us up. That will never happen. Simple as that.
If you wish to be a writer for life, don't let life's ups and down take you away from the canvas. Write as problems come. Address them through writing. If you're lazy, write about being lazy. If you're down, write about being down and the solution which could resolve it. If you're burnt out, at least confide it in writing. You're burnt out anyway. Discuss everything in writing. Even writing about writing. Talk about something over and over. Contradict yourself if you must. In the end you must come to a decision. Empty your heart out then you'll be able to fill it out again with better truths than ever.
We have initiative, that is more than enough. Research when you're out of topic. Read. Draw. Rest if you must but make sure to come again, fiercer than ever! Show up. Come to the place. Share your mind, don't be defensive. Use logic. Serve the people. Appreciate. Comment down, and be genuine.
Being patient with ourselves does not mean waiting forever for our right time. The world is probabilistic, you'll never know until you move on. Your expected gain won't ever be realized if you don't continue with what you've started. Use Statistics properly. Capitalize on what you know and take advantage of your skills and talents. Don't look around the web feeling envious and doing nothing. Their achievements are theirs because of the sweat they've poured when they worked. Don't covet what you don't own. Do your work, and you'll be rewarded.
Write your niche and explore where you can contribute on. Write about BCH, seriously, we all have a say on this. It will be helping us in the long run! Why are we waiting for activists to do the work for us? We can all do some sort of activity if we really wanted change for the better and not for the worse.
Don't expect immediate returns. Equally important, try and try. But don't try so hard. It's your take. Experiment. Better yet, do it in the positive domain. Operations will all result in positive value if we stay in the positive side.
Approach the canvas with conviction of what you're going to say. Breathe life to what you're saying. If you have no access to the gadget you're using, use anything where you could write on. Always bring writing materials with you. You never know when moments come to you. We write anytime but there are those extra special thoughts that visit us, and don't let it pass without you writing it in. Don't memorize, you'll lose it then. "Seriously, write it down..."
But in spite of all these self-admonitions, we still come to a point where we lose touch to everything. We forget about those that we've read or said or written before. We're stripped off of our armors. But then be patient with yourself. However tedious the works about human behavior, we'll never come to a consensus. So be yourself and forgive YOURSELF over and over. Over and over still, resort to writing. Because that is just...

Help me! I'm about to leap!
I'm about to leap but I don't know how I'll land! Should I do it anyway?!
I'm in the near rupture of saying, "Forget all commitments and be a bad guy for once!"
Forget about your job and resign!
Forget about your studies and drop!
Forget all about your 'neighboring escapades' and do something worthwhile!
What in the world is stopping me to do all of the above?!
I hear myself screaming for help but I know I have to decide and decision seems unfathomable.
I'm still lukewarm. I'm still just an aspiring, just a wannabe...
Everyday, I yearn to be a full-time writer. I want to get away from my principal, from my coordinator, from my colleagues, from my students and just write. Write write write.
I feel helpless every time my husband points out that I am not keeping my priorities right. He comments, "That 'thing' is taking all your time away. Do your job instead."
I admit he's on point but I can't help myself every time the canvas invites me. It's like getting called for by your friends to go hang out and unwind. It's so tempting I have to stop all my other activities just to write. I may have come to a point where all I wanted to do is write.
And I ask my self, "What now?"
On and on, as my desire to write gets stronger and stronger, I equally just keep things as they are: me, my table and my laptop, behind them are students and work loads needing urgent attention. Not that I do not do my job but if you ask me, what I feel is right for students is for the teacher to go beyond the minimum. And I'm contradicting those principles that I believe in. I read about others who could do many things all at once but that's just not the case for me. Once I do my thing, I do it with all I have. It's all or nothing.
One good thing about being a full-time person is that you get to focus all your energy to something you wanted to get into and anybody will feel and see your direction clearly. But it is not the case for me. I'm torn between my desires and what I really am currently. Sure thing I can just write as an aside but it's not giving justice to readers. No one's drawn to something done for compliance sake only.
But then again, my conclusion is to go back to my lessons and do my powerpoint, read my students' messages, answer all their queries and be done with my life. Hahaha.
One by one we'll respond to all of them. Sharing some to you...
In the end, I decide to just do things one step at a time. Let me just then write all about my career and my students. Teehee!
BCH as the Realization of the Unsung Desires of Many
We can't deny the emergence of new themes and concepts as we're moving forward to the digital age. But the question is, are they really new? Aren't they just the realization of what most people desired before and is still desiring today that it took so long before someone finally broke the barrier?
We may have already heard about Satoshi Nakamoto, a famous pseudonymous person or persons, and his/their whitepaper about what he/they wanted about bitcoin.
I happen to stumble upon the article of @Pantera , The Futile Search For Satoshi, and read a very good account about this man. Be redirected there and you will have a good time following through his search for Satoshi. Futile search but worth it. https://read.cash/@Pantera/the-futile-search-for-satoshi-d7ce92cf
Maybe, Satoshi foresaw the upcoming revolution on bitcoin and did better by hiding. As brilliant as he has been with his ideas on cryptography application, he might have expected as well the splitting of bitcoin into BTC and BCH. He finally succumbed to anonymity but who knows? He might be out there, secretly or openly supporting BCH but never to be identified again as Satoshi.
Other articles which may give us a better idea on why there is so much fuss about BCH are the following: (all articles are @CryptoMax 's)
**Voluntaryism is Happening: Control and Custodians Are DONE!!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/voluntaryism-is-happening-control-and-custodians-are-done-7e5e993d
I've learned here, especially, the meaning of voluntaryism and how we as BCH lovers are helping voluntaryists.
**Bitcoin Cash is Evolving: It’s Happening!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/bitcoin-cash-is-evolving-its-happening-476573eb
No doubt that this is a novel content! Integrated is his discussion about why read.cash is evolving with BCH.
**BTC Possy and Maximalists Censoring Failures: They Don’t Disappear!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/btc-possy-and-maximalists-censoring-failures-they-dont-disappear-f874d194
In here you will read a lot of sound analogies about what those who are shortsighted are doing. In the end, truth will come out and reality will strike us.
**Bitcoin Cash: Success is INEVITABLE! We Won!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/bitcoin-cash-success-is-inevitable-we-won-21a3fb9f
No need to cross fingers. We've won!
**BCH is Good, Banks Are Bad, CBDCs are Worse!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/bch-is-good-banks-are-bad-cbdcs-are-worse-d85bc514
What hit me here is the reality about securing our keys to our money and I quote:
"People always rant about how stupid it is that you lose money if you lose your keys and stuff - man, if you think your financial life isn't important enough for you to bother to save a key, you deserve to lose everything anyway."
Hahaha, well?
**Embrace Crypto Capitalism: Prosper or Die!** https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/embrace-crypto-capitalism-prosper-or-die-1a68a45b
I especially like the analogy that the author used here about someone important who strongly opposed the development of something until finally the product won due to the fact that the product made things easier for people. Read on to know how you'll prosper (HODL) or die (cashing out to FIAT).
To generalize, embracing BCH is an act of voluntaryism, showing support for decentralization, and wanting to have freedom with our money, holding our own keys and securing them.
So whatever the geniuses are telling, people's experiences with easy and low-fee transactions will not hide the advantages that it will bring about. And if people fight for what they desire, then everything will be in place like it should.
`As it turns out yours truly is now a crypto student. I remember posting on my noise.cash account, "My B.S. in Crypto begins now." And it has indeed began. So even though I'm past that age and season of being a collegian, I am now once again feeling the the struggles and glories that a student experiences. I've spent days trying to figure out what I'd do then I finally drafted this one.`
`If only I were really enrolled in an instution, formally taking up that course, then I'd gladly do all my assignments given to me by my professor. Unfortunately, that is not the case here and one is to self-learn and balance all the things needed to be done in order to come up with something valuable. That is, an article.`
Flexing to you the signature created for me by @CryptoMax for the Bitcoin Cash Hub(0cd1). True enough, I am a content writer, an aspiring blogger, and a crypto student. Yeeeh!!! It's cute, I love it!

Recounting Experiences for the Past Two Months
The coffee cup has not complained one bit about its frequent usage. It simply waited for its host to gulp it down to the bottom. It's been patiently accompanying the confused writer and one could say it did its job. Good job coffee cup!
Two months ago, I was invited by a friend to instead publish my blogs here at read.cash. She meant I will republish those that I have already written on my blog a year ago. Though I've taken that site down, I was able to download the content and reuploaded it into my blog now but using the same domain name which I used before. It was our mistake for not reading the rules very well. Anyhow it was how I started at this platform.
I immediately received an upvote on my first article. I had a hunch that it was my friend who did it but still thought that it was a random rewarder here. I may have even told her that, "Hey, I believe each user has a random rewarder." That is, if my memory is serving me right. I'm too lazy going back to our chat messages at messenger. How amused must she be at my silly conclusions. But still that was how I put it. Haha. My bad. I came to learn that my random rewarder is none other than my friend who invited me here. It was no surprise and I was even glad I could bug her to tip me more. But of course it was just a joke. I knew it was heavy on her pocket to be doling out charity for me. And I wanted to be rewarded with some bit of challenge. We're not supposed to beg and I have noted that well and good.
Then I had given up on read.cash then turned to noise.cash and posted as often as I could until the recent update. It was not long before making another account here when suddenly I got upvoted by the random rewarder. I was not expecting it but I was somehow elated that at least, some good dear bot noticed my article. Then things happened then I told myself to leave for good. But I still made few more accounts until the random rewarder never visited me again. I don't know anymore about its algorithm but I have learned a few things after blogging here and making close to nothing.
The bch I was earning was used in upvoting other writers. See this below, I belong to the top 100 tippers (for the past 30 days) as of writing time. Applause applause. Not much I gave but if you think how little I'm earning here compared to how much I'm giving you'll know that I spent almost all of to tip deserving writers. I actually deposited just so I could upvote articles. It made me think whether I am doing the right thing or not. But I believe this is part of being a genuine appreciator of others. So I want to think that I did the right thing on this aspect.
Sometime ago, I commented on the article, Great Interview: A Wake-up call for noise.cash users. See the following screenshot for the content of the comment. Then someone whom you could say, one of the most important persons here at read.cash, upvoted it with 2 dollars in BCH. I was like someone who was upvoted for a thousand dollars and I can not keep it to myself and so I told my friend. You could guess who the upvoter is. https://read.cash/@nheng1118/great-interview-a-wake-up-call-for-noisecash-users-53da1a31
I'm not sure anymore but I also tried submitting an article to an important community here but I think it was not the article I was hoping to give. I would have wanted to do a research type article but all I submitted was more of common knowledge than new insights to the blockchain. Anyway, at least I tried and God knows how I hoped for the best. But I could say, I have to take things slow. No rush. Haste makes waste. In time I'll give what is due out of me.
I'm still at a loss of purpose for why I am writing here but I guess this is not a noble feeling as I read many others who share the same sentiment. It made me question my decision for coming here yet again even knowing the almost zero probability of being tipped by the bot. I used the same internet for all the accounts I made knowing full well the impact it may give to my profile in the long run. I know there are no forbidding rules for creating multiple accounts but I believe this is impractical in the first place because the system might detect you as a manipulator.
I came with the conclusion that, whatever happens, I will write and will not stop. If you're a writer yourself, you know how it feels. We like writing to the point of wanting to spend the rest of our lives living our second lives everyday. We writers have more lives in just a day. Imagine having to experience more than once just because we wanted to get close to the real deal. We simulate, we reflect, we research, we breathe, cry, then repeat. As for me, I wanted more. Then I was reminded of the following.
Trudge the path that beckons you the most. And if you must take them all, do it one path at a time.
With a heavy heart I surrender to nature. Let it take its course and I am not complaining.
BCH went back and stayed with the whitepaper!
Forgive me but I can only understand simple language! Upon searching here and there about the origin of BCH, what became clear to me is the desire of the proposer of bitcoin to use the cryptocurrency for easier and faster transactions between one party to another and vice versa, without the need for third parties.
If whitepaper is an informational document issued to promote or highlight the features of a solution, product, or service that it offers or plans to offer, then it means that BCH we have now is the realization of Satoshi's.
This article will be a waste if I make it more complicated than BTC is to small time people like me, charging unbelievable rates and making someone wait forever before transactions are finished. Not that we are to cash out to fiat every single sat that we mine. Don't get me wrong on this. Therefore I will just bring to my expected readers why I believe in BCH.
I am writing this to my friends, my siblings, and few virtual acquaintances, and to anybody else who is interested and who loves BCH. At the same time I am challenging everybody who benefitted from the advantages of BCH to come forward and testify.
Have you ever wondered why Marc De Mesel is doing all the tipping and funding? I personally believe that he so wanted to tell the world what needs to be told even sacrificing his fortunes if not only fraction of it. Because of his demonstrations I am convinced that BCH is real and for the people who desire decentralization.
Honestly I got irritated and annoyed when others talked about crypto. Not because I'm jealous but because I'm lazy and impatient.
Then I realized that if we are given the basics to be able to research and understand, why not do it with all we have? After all, we want change for the better.
The realization struck me when I saw the passion with the founder of this community I am submitting this article to (CryptoMax). If he can do it, why not the rest of us? Thanks to his campaign, I was encouraged to join the Bitcoin Cash Hub (0cd1) community. https://read.cash/c/bitcoin-cash-hub-0cd1
Let me just insert the essence of Mathematics. Sometimes, we hate others meddling with our business that all we wanted is encryption of our private lives. In here we have the proof-of-work or also known as zero knowledge proof.
A quick example is, let us say somebody stole something. You and your colleague are too timid to tell each other that you maybe suspecting the same person. Suppose you wish to make it a point that nothing will be revealed to anybody. One suggestion is to use any app that uses passwords. One among you will change it into the name of your suspect and the other one logs in. You will know you have the same suspect if the log in is successful. You have to agree of course on some things like, the first letter is capitalized and in case the suspect has two names that you will only use the first.
Now the wonderful works of programmers will be put to use in order to make sure that encryption is ensured. In simple terms, transactions are private.
I will declare here my support for decentralization. Go on and believe those CBDC's and the cycle which we so wanted to break will go on! The decision is yours. Take it or leave it and go back to square 1.
**Conclusion:** Let us promote BCH which went back and stayed with the white paper! Let us secure our keys and be responsible citizens of the digital age.
P.S.: I am soliciting for genuine comments which may further our understanding of cryptocurrencies. As for me, I am still digging into documents, articles, and anything which may lead me to a holistic understanding of things. I believe BCH is not a fad and should be embraced by many.
'Cheers' to more quality articles.
P.S.2: The lead image is just a simple figurative illustration of what I wish to convey.
Eventual Confession of a 2-month read.cash User
With an open heart I will confess that I'm a 2-month read.cash user. I hid in pseudonyms, created multiple accounts and I found it harder and harder to write. But it has always been rewarding, writing stuffs and publishing. Some articles were rewarded by Rusty, many others not. But I still enjoyed writing here and I could say I almost spent my entire 2 months going in and out of the platform, not missing a single day or night being logged in. The admin may verify it for you if you wish to although that is I think impossible as there is the privacy of users that they are protecting.
This is an eventual confession. I want to tell you that countless times, equally as I would desire to write, I also wanted to quit. But I never quitted. Simply because I love writing coupled by my fondness of the clean layout of read.cash. I also love the easy BCH transactions. I tell you it is the easiest cryptocurrency there is to deal with. The very very low fees compared to BTC transactions all the more enticed me to stick to this platform.
Well, I experienced few downvotes. And I would be lying if I deny that it greatly affected my confidence. But I observe that others may just have no other good things to do or it is that they don't have positive regard for the feelings of a person. But I already tried appeasing myself and decided to simply accept that not all people are the same. So downvote or upvote for as long as you want. Simple as that.
Here are the writers whom I interacted with, or I commented but they have not noticed yet, as I was using my pseudonyms and I recommend them greatly because of their valuable contents:
@Shounenbat , @CryptoMax , @carisdaneym2 , @MizLhaine, @Yelenab , @Bjorn , @meitanteikudo , @Pantera, @EvilWillow , @charmingcherry08 , @andrianlover , @KJPR007, @Bloghound , @Marts and many more others but my memory may just be serving me not fully now.
I decided to write articles on any topic. No more specific niche. Most probably I'll just be blogging here. The typical meaning of blogging that we know of. I'm a fan of prosing from paragraph to paragraph and I've learned to do this as I continued blogging for one year now.
And I'm revealing myself not because I'm tired hiding but because it is just what I feel is right doing. I won't justify further as I may just be contradicting myself. So 'nough said and here below is the me.
This is me a decade ago.
Just 3 years ago.
And this is the me now.
**Happy blogging to me! Happy writing to all of us!**
