Welcoming 2022 with my first Hive power-up and new resolution for the year I see a lot of posts shared by people welcoming 2022. I'm glad to do the same too. I have done my first power up today and I'm going to be writing about that. I have also thought of a few resolutions where one being a primary one and I'm going to be talking about that too in today's article. I don't usually celebrate New Year and it is just another day to me. However new year for us is somewhere…
@bala41288
Wish you all a wonderful new year and may this new year bring you lots of opportunities and financial freedom soon. I'm also stepping into this new year with some resolutions in mind. Hopefully, this becomes a great year for me too. Today was Hive Power-up day and I participated as usual by doing a small power-up. I wish this year gives me more opportunities to grow my account on Hive. I wish the others the same too. #hive #newyear #crypto #cryptocurrency #blockchain…

Introducing hivedata.live v0.1.0 - A tool to visualize Hive Data with the help of Hive SQL Ever since I started using Hive SQL, I always wanted to create a portal from where we can easily view all the possible data we can fetch from Hive with the help of Hive SQL. I would like to start this article by conveying my thanks and regards to @arcange. I don't think this tool would have been a possibility without his Hive SQL.

The rental markets are not doing good. The APR is pretty low. The rewards were bad last season and this season from the start it is even worse. I'm going to be observing the rental markets for another season keeping my cards for rent. After that, I have to decide what I should be doing with my cards. Either play or again rent or sell some cards. It can be a tough decision. #hive #investment #cryptocurrency #splinterlands #hivegames #play2earn…

Splinterlands - The rental market APR is not impressive anymore and assets value is also going down The rental income from Splinterlands in the last season was not very great. I got close to 34k DEC as rental income. A month before that it was almost double that value. I was wondering it would give at least a 10 % or 15 % APR to us. But unfortunately, the APR is not even 5% now. I have some of the best cards but there are no takers. I have some gold foil legendary cards…

Did you know the difference between a coin and a token? During my early crypto days, I used to wonder what the difference was. There was also a misunderstanding happened. We will be able to see many people confuse these two terminologies. I thought of sharing my knowledge on what the difference is all about. When all these cryptocurrencies started, they all started as an independent blockchain. BTC, LTC, MONERO, XRP, etc are some of the examples of the same. Gradually when…

Importance of the decentralization in Blockchain ecosystem Did you know that a blockchain can be created without any aspect of decentralization?

Good that finally he is getting into CUB tokens and I'm sure he will soon have a huge stake there and I may not be able to match him.

I don't know if it is a good decision or a bad decision. But I'm having great hopes for Leofinance and what they are capable of doing.

I would say the technology is still pretty new and there is room for so many innovations around this concept. Many big companies have started looking at solar as their alternative source of energy. I remember that 10 years back the cost of solar panels used to be two or three times than today's panel costs. This already proves that we are…
