Beware: read cash can cause a sweet heart attack.

It has been one and a half month now in read cash. Now I have a set routine here, posting one article a day and a few comments. Life was going fine here. I know my earning capacity; it ranges between 4- 8 dollars a week depending on the tip basically. Point wise, touching 1 dollar a day is very difficult and happens only rarely. Tips are my mainstay. Telesfor sir has been the main tipper for my articles. 95% of the tip value I have earned here is from him. Without his tip I would be earning 4 dollar or less a week here, and maybe I would have left the platform citing reason as frustration from not being able to earn. I have a misconception that my articles are good enough by read cash general standards, so I should be earning more. You can have a laugh reading the last sentence. In fact Telesfor sir has tipped about 400 dollars in total in read cash and I have got my fair share.

And those posts which I see boosting 1000+ points per day, doesn’t boost my morale, rather makes me more frustrated. A few days back I wrote an article about being getting fooled in read cash. Views and likes wise that has been my most successful article in read cash. What an irony.  I think I published that on last Thursday. On Friday I went for the annual servicing of my 12 years old car and it took a full day so I did not post any article. As my articles are usually 500+ words so I can’t type that much on mobile. Friday night I checked I had around 5+ dollars and went to sleep. After waking up on Saturday I checked read cash and almost had a heart attack. It showed 50+ dollars. Whatever hangover of sleep I had immediately vaporized and I was as alert as a soldier on the front line. I rubbed my eyes twice and checked again, I again saw 50+ dollars. I opened the notification and saw 2 entries, one of 0.01 dollar and another of, hold your breath, 49.96 dollars. I thought it must be some bug, the AI malfunctioned. I waited all day thinking that it may get reversed and I will be again back to my original earning standard. But nope it did not happen the whole day. In the mean time I checked the tipper details and it only deepened the mystery. He is a member since last 8 months with no articles and no short posts. He has only 3 subscribers. I racked my brain, who can it be. It seemed that he is like the silent and hidden sniper in the jungle of read cash waiting for the kill, a direct head shot. Or he is like the spy, moving around openly in read cash but no one knows who he is, the identity buried deep inside the archive of read cash. I checked the list of highest tippers and donors, his name was not there. I guess he wants to stay that way so I won’t directly reveal his profile identity here. I will post the link of my article below so that anyone who wants to check can check it out. As it is very few will read this post, let alone go to the link.  I kept on thinking for a long time, why he maintains a passive presence here. Why he first gave 0.01 dollar, then 49.96 dollars, was he checking first if the tip went through? What did he like so much in this article? Out of the hundreds of articles posted daily how come my article was noticed and more importantly read by him? I have seen only popular writers on BCH raking up so many tips and I am not that old here, nor am I popular here, nor was my topic related to BCH.  I have a habit of thanking the tipper but in this case I did not do it, because I think he wants to stay anonymous among the crowd. So let it be that way. But I think he must be one of the big shot of read cash, one of the core members. I think Telesfor sir being a very old member of read cash can through some light on him, but it is up to him. I know this is only once in a life time occurrence in read cash for me and wont happen again, but still whats the harm in hoping a repeat. https://read.cash/@aniruddhasen/how-i-got-fooled-in-read-cash-a106438a
