A Propos of Nothing in Particular
Yay! My first modest success. Two days after starting, with six articles under my belt, Read.Cash's TheRandomRewarder Bot graced one of my articles with an 8 cent tip. Don't laugh! From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow. Will I be able to turn this into a modest income? I don't know. Possibly. But I'm sure having fun. I enjoy writing. There are websites that will pay 200, 300, 400 dollars for an article. But they want you to regurgitate the official narrative on controversial topics. I refuse to do that. There is quite enough bullshit in the world without me adding more. By following the path I've chosen, I can write about anything I want.
Still, I avoid controversial topics. I know a lot of things about all kind of things, but I've learned the hard way, most people don't want to hear the truth. They prefer to bury their head in the sand and continue consuming bullshit. So be it. It's too late, anyway. If people aren't by now at least partially aware of what's really going on in the world, well, put it this way - I fear many people are in for a very rude awakening. I can look back at the last two and a half years of global insanity and honestly say, I stood my ground. I didn't concede an inch.
I've been trying to make a little money playing blockchain games. League of Kingdoms. Splinterlands. I'm pretty disillusioned with the whole space. As soon as a game gains any traction, and it becomes possible to earn from it, the inevitable takes over. You know. Greed. Corruption. People figure out ways to take advantage of loopholes in the economy and create bots to milk the exploits around the clock and suck all the rewards out of the game, leaving a few crumbs for the real players. I don't hold any great hopes for blockchain gaming in its current state. Unless you just play the game for fun, of course.
So, what's the topic of this article? No topic, really. I'm just taking my keyboard for a walk. Random thoughts of an old man in a dry season. Writing is a good activity for me. It's therapeutic. 'Nuff said. Hope you all are well. Take care.
