My Monthly Hive Stats - Powering up 100 Hive for HPUD Today is the fresh start for a new month. The hopes for new and bigger opportunities are very high. Last month was good but not very great in terms of growth. We had ups and downs with the Hive price but at the same time, it did give some opportunities to do trading. My recent swing trade did not go well and I'm still waiting for Hive to reach 1$ again to book my profits. I don't mind holding Hive long-term even if that…

I participated in Hive Power up day and powered up 100 Hive yesterday. In spite of the bear market, Hive is still very good and hopefully, it will jump back to 1$. If anyone would like to buy Hive, now is the right time. Not financial advice though. #hive #blockchain #investment #hpud https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-monthly-hive-stats-powering-up-100-hive-for-hpud
10% tax might have been better than 30% tax for crypto in India We have a 30% tax on crypto transactions in India. I have written a few articles in the past on this topic. Today I was wondering if it would have been better if they had kept the tax at 10% flat instead of 30%. The Finance Minister said that this tax is not to encourage people from using cryptocurrencies but to get the data of who and all are dealing with crypto and find a solution for the same in the future.…
I was wondering if it would have been better if the tax in India was just 10% instead of a 30% flat tax. Maybe this would have helped many people disclose their crypto earnings and properly make it an accountable fund by paying proper tax. This would have also helped many people start companies in India and help in the growth of this technology inside India. #crypto #income #investment #taxation #india #hive…
Akshaya Trithiyai - An auspicious day to purchase gold In India today is one of the most Auspicious days for Gold investors. The day is called Akshaya Tritiya. There is a belief in India that when we start new things on this day and especially when we purchase gold on this particular day, it will bring good fortune to us. This belief has been in practice for several decades and probably several centuries too but in recent years the shops are also offering discounts and other…
Today is one of the biggest days for investors in India. The date is called Akshaya Tritiyai and many people do big investments on this date or at least start something new on this date. I was wondering what I should be doing and then I realized that it would be ideal to purchase some Hive today and I bought some Hive. #crypto #hive #gold #shopping #money https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/akshaya-trithiyai-an-auspicious-day-to-purchase-gold
Science behind soaking mangoes in water before eating Today I read an interesting article on this and apparently, this has been a very good practice ever since ancient days. Mango is one of the most powerful and most liked fruits all over the world. In our Tamil Culture, it is said that Mango, Jack fruit, and Banana are the three most rated fruits in the world. I did not know that we should be soaking mangoes in water before consuming them. This came to me as a surprise. I…

HBD should be listed on more exchanges with more usecase I feel a little happy while looking at the price of HBD. In spite of the huge market fluctuation and red market, HBD is still very strong and has stayed stable. The same thing happened in the previous bear market as well. Many people thought that this was the bull market but the market is holding strong and there was also a decent increase in the price of some cryptocurrencies. HBD is a good stable coin that is already…
HBD is still the most undervalued stable coin. Hive blockchain itself is undervalued and it needs more awareness. Don't you think HBD needs more exchange listing and more usecases. We cannot rely only on the 20% APR that it gives. #hive #hbd #blockchain #crypto #cryptocurrency. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/hbd-should-be-listed-on-more-exchanges-with-more-usecase
Seeing SPS at 10 cents again can be a very rare event This is not financial advice but I would say this can be the best opportunity to get SPS for a cheaper price. We all know the potential of Splinterlands game and the team of developers they have. We have seen so many amazing things in the past and will continue to see so many things in the future as well. Seeing SPS at 10 cents can be a very rare event after another 50 days or so. We have less than 100 days for the SPS…
No more FASTags in India, good but I would be happy to see a blockchain-based solution In India, the toll booth collection model was converted from Cash to FASTag only recently. This made a very big change in recent months because the traffic at toll booths before that was terrible. But even today I wouldn't agree that this is the best system we ever have but it is definitely better than the cash collection system I would say. I see a lot of news spreading about a new…
Maybe this is good news for Indians. There will be no more FASTags to collect tolls on the road. This system is soon going to be replaced with a GPS-based tracker. I would be very happy to see one with blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. #india #blockchain #crypto #cryptocurrency #fastag https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/no-more-fastags-in-india-good-but-i-would-be-happy-to-see-a-blockchain-based-solution
My 5 years dream came true today Today I bought an iPad Air 5th generation. This was my dream for like 5 years. Ever since I came to know about Geoshread, I wanted to purchase an iPad but did not get a chance at all or I did not take that dream very seriously. For the last two months, I had been thinking about this too much and I wanted to somehow purchase it. I was confused as to which one I should be purchasing. Mostly it depends on what would be the purpose but I found…
Hive is definitely not having a good time here. But from the looks of it, the entire market is crashing. I already depleted my stable coin reserves to purchase Hive at 88 cents, 85 cents, 80 cents and 78 cents. I no longer have any USDT left with me to make another purchase. Maybe I'm catching a falling knife. Have to wait and see how the market goes. #hive #trading #investment #crypto #cryptocurrency #market
Are you buying or holding in this bear market? The market is not looking good right now. In the last month, the market has not shown any good positive signs. Sometimes the market goes up and down but the trend has been only downwards. I invested all my stable coins on Hive expecting it to go up but looks like this is not going to happen for quite some time now. Not just Hive but most of the altcoins and native coins are all having the same problem. It is very bad to see the…
HBD is very safe in the current market trend For all the crypto investors this is a tough time. Actually, it is a good time for the new investors and a bad time for people who are in HODL mode. I'm sure this bear market will not last for a longer period of time. It will only last until the weak hands finish selling. After a point of time, the market will pump again in no time. But if this was supposed to be the actual bear market trend, the next target for BTC would be to…
Did you catch a falling knife? The market trend is making people catch a falling knife. I invested when the price of Hive was around 90 cents initially to book a small profit when the price heals back to 1 dollar. I did not expect the price to go below 85 cents but it happened. I then purchased some Hive again at 88 cents and I was waiting for the price to heal back. Then again at 80 cents and then again at 75 cents and I don't have any stable coin left with me to purchase…
The situation of the market is more like catching a falling knife. But many people have started purchasing again because the price is very low which can become more affordable in the near future. #hive #blockchain #cryptocurrency #investment https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/did-you-catch-a-falling-knife #crypto #cryptocurrency #investment #blockchain #market #trend
Stay strong even if you lose money in Crypto Today I was saddened by the fact that 8 people did suicide because of the market crash due to Luna. I'm hearing about this coin only in the last two days. Especially after knowing that it was the reason for the recent market crash. I was initially thinking that the market is having a regular correction and apparently no big reason for the market to fall. But looks like Luna was the culprit and many people lost a huge amount of…
It was very sad to see this news. Whatever happens, people should be very strong and at the same time very careful as well. It is always wise to invest only the money we afford to lose. Investing more than what we are ready to lose will create heartbreak. #investment #crypto #market #luna #hive #cryptocurrency #blockchain https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/stay-strong-even-if-you-lose-money-in-crypto
Purchased some LUNA in this madness The crypto market was going crazy in the last few days, especially after the LUNA event. There are so many articles everywhere talking about what happened and why the entire market had crashed. Some information is quite true and there are also rumors spreading around. Buy only the real news and ignore the rumors. I have heard of this LUNA before but never thought about investing. Yesterday I saw some people talking about investing in LUNA…
I purchased a small quantity of LUNA today morning. Just for the sake of gambling. I invested only like 20$ into it. I have no big plans and I don't even care if this goes further down and vanishes. But I'm just giving it a try if at all the price recovers and goes back to 1$. #luna #hive #investment #terra #bitcoin #market #cryptocurrency #money https://neoxian.city/@bala41288/purchased-some-luna-in-this-madness
Powered up 3500 Hive today The crypto market is not having a good time in the last few weeks. Especially after the Luna incident, the market is crashing like anything. It appears that to manage the crash, the funds are flowing from the good coins to the bad coins to stabilize the market. And obviously, some people are also doing a panic selling. Whatever be the case, I realized that the market is not going to recover back anytime soon. It can take some time for the market to…
Be very careful while keeping funds on Exchanges Most of the centralized exchanges are high risk when it comes to keeping funds there. I understand that some exchanges are trustable and just because they have a decent reputation, they will not go against their policies. But there are some exchanges that don't do justice to their users. Some incidents came out really bad during this Luna event that happened recently. During the Luna event, it appears that some exchanges…
Keeping money on exchanges is more like keeping money in a public place and thinking that it will be safe. It may not be the case all the time. We will lose control over our money and sometimes we will lose access to our money when we need it the most. Crypto wallets are the best place to keep your crypto. #blockchain #wallets #cryptocurrency #crypto #money #exchanges https://neoxian.city/@bala41288/be-very-careful-while-keeping-funds-on-exchanges
It is still a good time to purchase Hive for a 2X profit I feel that it is still a good time to purchase Hive. I say this because we have had tough times in the past as well. But in spite of that Hive was able to reach a new all-time high. When a new project kicks off on Hive or an existing project comes up with a great feature, the price of Hive will have a decent pump. Right now due to the Luna situation, the market has not recovered. This has created good buying…
Hive is still one of the underrated blockchains and the price of Hive right now is very attractive. It is still a very good time to purchase hive for a 2X profit in the near future. I have purchased some Hive but I'm thinking of purchasing more with my HBD. Going to take a day or two to see if that's a good idea. What is your strategy? #hive #cryptocurrency #crypto #investment #money #blockchain #hiveblockchain #finance…
Reached 8000 LEO Power I'm very happy and glad to share that I have reached a total of 8000 LEO Power. During the first quarter of the year, I initially had a goal to get 8000 LEO power, but I couldn't make it. Now I was able to reach the goal. I initially thought I should purchase LEO from the market and increase my stake but then realized that slow growth is also good growth. Then I started powering up all the LEO I was earning from curation and posting. My biggest concern…

My top picks in this Bear Market Today someone asked me if it was the right time to invest in Crypto. The person is just getting started with crypto and has no idea about the market. But well it is good that they picked the right time to ask this question. I answered them by saying that it is a good time to invest if they are planning long-term. The next obvious question would be about BTC. Many people still think that BTC is the only cryptocurrency to get started with…
The bear market is still there giving us the opportunity to purchase some good tokens for the long term. My top picks for investment would be Hive, Cardano, and SPS to start with. I also have a few more coins in mind but would like to elaborate more later. #hive #investment #crypto #blockchain #cryptocurrency #cardano #sps #splinterlands https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-top-picks-in-this-bear-market
Most undervalued Play 2 Earn games on Hive When I initially joined Steem, I saw Steem only as a blogging platform. Even when the community moved from Steem to Hive, there were no big opportunities on Hive. The Hive Engine was in the experimental stage and I should say that even NFTs were in the early stages. Only then do the NFTs start becoming a thing. Splinterlands was one good play to Earn game on Hive but at that time it was not performing very well. It did reward people…
There are so many games emerging on Hive but there is still a place for some of the undervalued games on Hive. I would like to describe these undervalued games and would like to share my thoughts on the game. They also give me a decent passive and active income as well. #hive #risingstar #investment #gaming #cryptocurrency #blockchain #crypto https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/most-undervalued-play-2-earn-games-on-hive
Road to Valor: World War II game review I explore new games from the play store and play them during my free time. I look for strategy games and usually play such games. I was remembering a game that o used to play like 10 years back. The game was Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe. I was looking for a game that would be similar to that but couldn't find any. I ended up finding this game called Road to Valor: World War II. I was thinking this game would be a strategy game and role…
I recently started playing a new game from Play Store called Road to Valor: World War II. It was initially a very interesting game. For people who like opening crates, this game can be interesting. The gameplay is simple but a little addictive. You can use strategy in every battle you play. The graphics are also pretty decent. Overall a good time killer.

Want to reach a total of 5 BCH tokens I started my journey on Noise cash and Read cash about a year ago or maybe it is already more than a year. Ever since I joined, I have been enjoying my journey. I have been able to share my thoughts on Noise cash and post my articles on Read cash and it is also giving better views and rewards as well. I think it is definitely good to be a part of the Read Cash and Noise Cash community. In the last few months, we did not see any big…
I'm on my road towards 5 BCH earnings from Noise Cash and Read cash platform. I really enjoy writing articles here and contributing my knowledge in the form of articles. I wish I can spend more time on Read Cash and Noise cash engaging more with people.

Are crypto folks the smart and unique ones? I always used to wonder if the crypto folks are the smart ones out there. The main reason is that not everyone is grasping the crypto concepts. Sometimes it is even hard to explain some of the crypto concepts to our friends. At least that has happened for me. I'm not trying to say that people who are not understanding crypto are the dull ones but something makes me feel that crypto people are unique and they grasp these concepts…
Crypto adoption is the biggest challenge. But sometimes I used to wonder if people in the crypto world are smarter than people in the FIAT world. I wouldn't straight away say that one is better than the other. But the comparison is really good and it is also sometimes very hard to have a conversation with a non-crypto folk about crypto. #cryptocurrency #cryptoadoption #bitcoin #crypto #blockchain #technology…
Another biggest Hive purchase by me About a week back I powered up like 3500 Hive which I bought using my liquid stable coins. After the market fell down and the price of Hive became half, I got hopes for a good trading option and I decided that I should sacrifice 20% APR from HBD and purchase more Hive for more than 5000 HBD I had. I know it is a big risk because we cannot predict the crypto markets. But I still wanted to give it a try. The main reason is that if the price…
I think this is the biggest investment ever I have made so far. Luckily I saved some stable coins in the form of HBD and today I decided I should convert all my HBD to Hive considering the price of Hive as a good opportunity. Let's hope this gives me some good growth soon. I have placed a buy order to convert 5000 HBD to Hive today. This is one of my biggest investments so far till date. #hive #investment #crypto #hbd #cryptocurrency #money #market #trading…
Booked some profits on DEC The price of DEC has reduced lately but I realized that even in this bear market, the price of DEC is more than the soft peg value of 1$ per 1000 tokens. I wanted to make use of this opportunity and sell some DEC. I receive close to 60k DEC every month for renting my cards as rental income. Sometimes it is 50k and sometimes it is 60k. So far I kept it only in as a balance on Hive Engine targetting more SPS rewards. But now I thought I should be…
I thought it should be a good time right now to sell some DEC and book profits. I understand having DEC can give more airdrop rewards but on the other hand, I also realized that I might be able to get more Hive because the price of Hive is also low and the value of DEC is also up to the soft pegged value. Let's see how this profit booking goes. #investment #cryptocurrency #profits #booking #dec #splinterlands https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/booked-some-profits-on-dec
SPS had a very nice pump today and all the presale Node licenses were sold off Let me start with the fact that we have about 62 days for the SPS airdrop. That is the only chance for us to get SPS cheap. Today there was a presale about an hour back for the first set of Node licenses. Within the first 10 minutes, 1000 licenses were sold off. The next Tier of license sales has started. This is really very good for the SPS tokens. Imagine all the investors who are holding a shit…
Splinterlands did their License pre-sale today. All the presale licenses were sold off in just 10 minutes time. I wrote a detailed article on this with more information and screenshots.

Waiting for Hive Power Up day with huge amount of Hive to power up A few days back I wrote an article saying that I bought a shit load of Hive with my HBD from savings. I was able to purchase over 9500 Hive with my 5000 HBD. This is definitely a huge investment and I have never done anything this big before. I'm glad that I got this opportunity to purchase Hive this cheap. I know for a fact that my profits won't be coming anytime soon but I'm waiting to increase my Hive…

My LUNA disappeared from Binance This is one of the reasons why we shouldn't be trusting an exchange. But yeah this situation is somewhat unique and we cannot blame the exchange so much. Until yesterday morning, I was able to see my LUNA balance in my Binance wallet. I was happy that the price of Luna was pretty reasonable from what I bought it for. It has now become a practice for me to keep looking at the price every day. Today I read it somewhere that they have decided to…
This is one good reason why we have to be very careful about not having lots of funds on Exchanges. I was surprised to see my LUNA disappear from my exchange wallet today. I was not following any news related to LUNA and after seeing my balance I had to go and read to understand what was going on. #terra #crypto #luna #investment #blockchain https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-luna-disappeared-from-binance
Do you think there is a chance for Bitcoin to go further down? I think it is a possibility. Anything can happen in the crypto market but especially the market is not very good right now. Good to avoid any new investments I guess. #hive #btc #bitcoin #investment #crypto #cryptocurrency https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/can-bitcoin-fall-further-down
Can Bitcoin fall further down? I think this is something anybody can easily predict. The current market situation is really bad. Many investors who bought coins when the price was very high are stuck right now not being able to sell off their holdings and have ended up holding their assets for the long term. Holing long term is always good in cryptocurrencies. Imagine people who mined and bought BTC during the early days and just remembered the private keys to their wallets.…
Luna 2.0 has no hopes apparently according to some people This month was the most dramatic month. We had so many incidents happening around Luna. Especially people who wanted to trade and gamble Luna after it has a massive fall. Some people say that the founder is genuine and is capable of reviving the project back and some people bad mouth about the founder. I personally wanted to gamble and that's why I tried investing a small amount of 20$ into Luna. I saw my 20$ grow and…
Luna 2.0 apparently did not go very well. Not all the chains can end up successfully like how Hive did after the Hostile takeover. Maybe Luna 2.0 is a failure. Too early to conclude but at least if some people got their money back and were able to recover their investment, it is far better. #luna #hive #investment #trading #crypto #cryptocurrency #blockchain #terra https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/luna-2-0-has-no-hopes-apparently-according-to-some-people
Many coins are cheap right now The crypto market has not recovered. Many people still consider this an excellent investment opportunity. A few days back I wrote an article saying that BTC can go further down but there is also a high chance that many people from the FIAT world would enter into the crypto world if BTC goes below 20k. Every day is definitely a gamble. The market goes down and recovers back, but the price is very low. The price of some coins is really very…
It is so tempting to see many coins at a cheaper price right now. I'm going to be purchasing some coins that are already in my portfolio but the ones I bought for a high price.

Will you keep working even after your retirement? Retirement is a misunderstood terminology. I personally think that it differs from person to person on what they want in their life. Some people want to just have a peaceful life living with the money they earned throughout their life. Some people want to switch from the proper day job and do a freelance kind of thing. Some people want to still continue working but be their own boss. I used to sometimes wonder what I really…
I always used to wonder if I should continue working even after my retirement or just enjoy whatever I earned already and never bother to work anymore. It is a hard decision to make however, it depends on the Individual's mindset as well. If they have enough hobbies to pursue after they retire, why go for additional work. #retirement #finance #independence #money #work #life https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/will-you-keep-working-even-after-your-retirement
