My Monthly Hive Stats and Hive Power Up day Today Hive had a massive pump and the price almost doubled. Nobody would have expected such a massive pump. I hear some people saying that they all booked their profits and made some decent money by selling their Hive. This is a good thing. I don't have enough liquidity with me to do some trades today. I was going to sell some spare Hive I had with me for 80 cents and at the time of writing this article, I see the value of Hive at…
As usual, I powered up some Hive today on the occasion of Hive power-up day. I hope in the coming months there will be more power-ups from me pushing my account towards 50k Hive power soon. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-monthly-hive-stats-and-hive-power-up-day
Hive brings good fortune now and then Yesterday was a great day for Hive investors. Many people who know very well about Hive booked some decent profits from Hive yesterday. It is a fortune we get on Hive now and then. Though the price of Hive is unpredictable, we all know for a fact that the price of Hive is very good anywhere below 1$. It is one of the undervalued cryptocurrencies in the entire market. Some great dApps try to bring the potential of Hive to light. We still…
Hive had a massive pump yesterday bringing the price of Hive very close to 1$. I did not have any liquid Hive in hand to make use of this opportunity. But I'm glad that the price spiked creating a new base price for Hive. https://ecency.com/hive-167922/@bala41288/hive-brings-good-fortune-now-and-then
Splinterlands - SPS got listed on Huobi today and my thoughts on SPS Splinterlands is one of the best games on Hive and it is also very popular in the crypto world. About a year back they introduced a token called SPS and told us that it is going to have many use cases. One of the biggest use cases would be that people will be able to trade, buy or sell assets with the help of SPS. Now that the airdrop is over, I think they have been finding ways to bring some value to SPS.…
Splinterlands is getting big. SPS got a new exchange listing today. It is a good start and I think going forward there will be more exchange listing and this is also good for the Hive ecosystem. The exchange is #huobi #splinterlands #crypto #cryptocurrency #play2earn #hive https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-sps-got-listed-on-huobi-today-and-my-thoughts-on-sps
Caution note on DeFi investment APRs DeFi investments usually talk about giving insane APR for your investment. We have to keep in mind that the value they mention to offer is in the form of the same token or the DeFi token. People easily get attracted when they see the APR at 1000 % or even more than that. But the truth is the percentage is valid only the price of the token they are giving is still the same. This is not the case most of the time. Early investors get a…
Some people are misguided by the DeFi investment APRs. I wanted to give a caution note to the investors on how the APR calculation actually works. The big number we see there is not a realistic one unless the price of the token stays stable. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/caution-note-on-defi-investment-aprs
Splinterlands - The UI updates look so cool but still a few options are missing I recently noticed these updates on the splinterlands website. Maybe this has been there for several days already but I got a chance to take a look at this only now. They have done some updates to the look and feel of the website, especially inside the SPS page. Probably they have created a dashboard and brought all the tokens inside that and have given a good make-over. I like the colors and the…
The Splinterlands team has done a nice UI update recently. Maybe this happened after the airdrop was over but I noticed it only recently. #splinterlands #crypto #hive #blockchain #cryptocurrency #gaming https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-the-ui-updates-looks-so-cool-but-still-a-few-options-are-missing
Building businesses on top of a Blockchain Today it had become a lot easier to build our business on top of a blockchain or a token from a blockchain. This idea is something that is slowly emerging. This is not up to speed yet but this is something that can son become the best use case for blockchain in the real world. People who have a business idea can make use of the blockchain by introducing a token and creating tokenomics on top of it. The business can be anything…
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report I'm really happy when it comes to writing this article. These articles help me take a look at how I'm progressing with my goals and my overall growth in the Hive ecosystem. The price of Hive is also pretty decent and we are all hoping for it to reach above 1 dollar. I hope soon there will be more people joining Hive and investing in Hive. There are also new projects that are good and hopefully can bring more engagement. I'm really happy…
Have you filed your Income Tax returns? Paying our taxes is one of the integral things as a citizen of the country. Even though some people are against the tax system, I personally think that taxation is significant and that's what makes a country a safe place to live. I understand that governments make mistakes and they waste the tax money on schemes that are not even good. But I guess it is a problem everywhere and we have to find a solution for that but instead focusing…

Gaming as a career Gaming can definitely be taken as a career by anyone. During my childhood, I used to wonder about becoming a game tester. The main reason was that I would be able to play lots of games in the name of testing. Imagine a job that pays you for playing your favorite GTA game the whole day or any other open-world game for that matter. Not just open world game but today we have so many games in that category that pays you. Apart from playing the game, there are…
Is it good to pick gaming as a career? I think it is. There are different types of opportunities available to people who pick gaming as their career. One of the best opportunities is to play games and earn money from play2earn games. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/gaming-as-a-career
Not a very pleasant experience with Privex today Today I did not have a pleasant experience with Privex. Maybe this is just one of my bad days and I don't have much to blame Privex here. I use Privex as my primary service provider for my servers. For the past few days, there were a few issues and glitches here and there. Two days back I came to know that there were issues with DNS and they also made an announcement on the same. Looks like in addition to that there were also…
Better Call Saul - One more episode to go I had been a huge fan of Breaking bad. When I watched it a few years back, I used to remember every single scene that happened and I also had a few folks in the office with whom I used to discuss it a lot. After Breaking bad when Better Call Saul came, I couldn't start watching it as soon as it was released. It took me some years to start watching it. Only in recent years have I started watching Better Call Saul. I was really…
Games that give me income on Hive There are quite a few games that give me income on Hive. Some games give me passive income and some games give me active income. I'm glad that we have the freedom to choose which type of game we would prefer to play. With the help of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, people can create tokenomics and build a decent game that can provide some income to the players. There are a few games on Hive that fall under this category. I'm going to talk…
Tried Proxmox virtualization and failed but not giving up Yesterday almost the whole day I spent setting up my own virtualization environment with the help of Proxmox. I learned about Proxmox from @rishi556. He mentioned somewhere that he's been using it for managing virtual servers. I did learn some things from him. Thanks to him. I currently don't have a need to have my own virtual machines from the dedicated server I own. But I thought it would be a good learning to know…
Yesterday I tried exploring Proxmox virtualization to set up Virtual machines. I bought a server from hetzner and started my exploration. I wasn't successful but I'm not stopping there. I will give it a try again after some time. https://stemgeeks.net/hive-163521/@bala41288/tried-proxmox-virtualization-and-failed-but-not-giving-up
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report Another week has passed and I'm really excited to check my stats today. I want to see how my SPS gain is this week because it is purely based on how much I earned from staking rewards alone. I did not manage to purchase anything from the market. My Hive power goals are still looking good and I think I will speed that up a little bit so that I can easily reach my goals before the end of the year. 50k Hive Power I was wondering if I…
It was a nice week and I was able to make decent progress with my goals. Hive is a great platform to invest and grow your assets. Enormous opportunities are available on Hive. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-3iq5aw
Powered up Leo on the occasion of Leo Power up day I think this is the third time I'm participating in this Leo Power up day. The first time I was very excited but then the second time I was wondering if I should be participating or not. Now I think I should participate in supporting this initiative as long as I have some goals in mind. Right now I have a goal of reaching a minimum of 10k Leo power. I have not booked enough profit from Leo yet and maybe I might do it in the…
On the occasion of Leo Power Up Day, I powered up some Leo tokens today. I'm going to try and power up till I reach 10000 Leo power in total. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/powered-up-leo-on-the-occasion-of-leo-power-up-day-dbhfa
For some people working is more than just income Have you noticed this in people? I have seen this a lot. But I did not understand the seriousness of this until I realized my father was also under this category. Some people are workaholics and they cannot live a peaceful life if they don't do any work. Some people would like to continue working as long as they have strength in their bodies. Some people might think that only if they stop working they will get old soon and…
For some people work is everything. They want to work till they die. It is rare to see people like that and it is also good to learn a lot from them. I have admired such people in my life. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/for-some-people-working-is-more-than-just-income
Teaching is always exciting I don't think everyone would agree with this but for some people teaching is fun and exciting. It requires enormous patience but if we do it with interest it is one of the most interesting things someone can do. The main reason behind that is that people learn while they teach. Especially when we are doing this to kids, it is even more fun because they would have all the energy and enthusiasm to learn. That keeps our minds young too. From a very…
Surprisingly pleasant experience with Paypal When I say Paypal is not the best payment gateway, I'm sure there would be a lot of people agreeing with me. I have had several bitter experiences in the past and recently a few months back my account was locked and I was unable to even contact support. But then later a few days back I decided I want to deal with this problem and somehow tried contacting the support and they resolved it within 2 working days and I felt really…

Linux screen commands - The important commands every Linux user should know The screen is a very good utility on Linux. Especially when we are using Linux servers, it is very important to use Screens in certain use cases. The reason is that we might have some long-running tasks and at that time we cannot expect the connectivity through SSH to stay intact. There is a high possibility that we might have network issues and we might lose connectivity through SSH. In that case,…
Did you make use of HBD pump today? I don't know for what reason these pumps are happening but today there was a massive pump to the price of HBD. It was indeed a great opportunity to see HBD's price go over 20 to 30% more than its usual price. A few weeks back we had a similar pump that took the price of Hive from 40 cents to 60 cents and now there is again another HBD pump but this time I'm thinking the price of Hive would settle around 65 cents maximum and won't go any…

Natural mosquito repellent In the place I live, the mosquito problem is one of the biggest problems we have. Many people get sleep disorders because of mosquito bites and just because they cannot sleep properly in the presence of mosquito bites. I was looking for some natural remedies. There are coils and electric solutions available but this one was very attractive and I wanted to give it a try. I usually don't open my windows and doors to get rid of mosquitoes but that…
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report Another week has passed and I'm really excited to share my weekly progress again. This week, I'm planning to add an additional goal for the year. I recently started admiring STEM tokens and I'm also planning to write more STEM-related articles. At least articles that are related to some coding stuff or technology related. I usually make STEM-related articles from my @balaz account. I have reserved that account for coding-related…
I think I'm making decent progress in my goals so far. I also added a new goal today to my list. Looks like it can be challenging but I still see hope. #hive #crypto #cryptocurrency #investment #money #blockchain https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-67rwa8
Sky High - My Movie Score or Soundtrack When I watched the Sky High movie, I was too young. Maybe I was in my college but it was one of the superhero movies I enjoyed the most. I had watched it a couple of times and I was even wondering if there would be a part 2 to that movie but that was just my imagination. One thing I really liked about the movie was the soundtrack. When this contest was announced, the first came to my mind was the soundtrack of the Sky High movie that I…

Better Call Saul - An unexpected ending **Note:** This article has spoilers. Continue reading only if you are okay. The last episode of Better Call Saul was telecasted a few days back. Many people were eagerly waiting for the ending of the series to understand what happens to Kim and what happens to Jimmy. There was already a hint in the previous episodes but it really came out as a surprise as to what happens to Jimmy. There were also a few references to what happened in…

Rising Star - Back to doing Starbits Millionaire mission again After the recent change in the game where they introduced a minimum fan requirement for the Starbits Millionaire mission, I did not get the opportunity to do the mission after that. My Fans found was very less. Today I noticed that my fans were over 41,000 and I was also eligible to do the mission. The reason was that I purchased a shit load of cards a few days back. I noticed the price of Starbits was very low…
I started doing Starbits Millionaire missions again. It happens when I get extra temporary fans. With my current fans, it is a bit challenging but whenever I get a boost, I'm able to do a Starbits Millionaire mission. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/rising-star-back-to-doing-starbits-millionaire-mission-again
Splinterlands - DEC is good the first few days for players and the last few days for renters This used to be the earning pattern in the splinterlands game. There were so many recent updates in the game and I'm not sure if I'm up to date with all those updates. Maybe I got some things to my mind and some things are still a puzzle to me. I have listed all my cards for rental in the market and let it give me rental income gradually. I started using splex.gg service for…
Rising Star - Reached Level 125 in the game It was very slow progress but I'm really glad that I was able to reach Level 125. Next, I have to target and march towards reaching Level 150. As we go up in the Levels, it is really a long journey to move from one level to another level. It is also very painful to keep up with the patience to do so. The XP we earn from the missions is highly responsible for the increase in the levels. Some missions are very good to give Starbits…
Rising Star is one of the interesting games I play on Hive and my account worth is gradually increasing whenever I keep progressing. I'm really happy to share that I have reached level 125 in the game that unlocks a new 2 hour mission for me. #hive #risingstar #gaming #hivegames #blockchain #cryptogames #play2earn https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/rising-star-reached-level-125-in-the-game
Wind turbines can soon start powering individual homes I keep hearing about compact windmills for individual houses. We would have heard about windmills powering rice mills and water treatment plans and in some places, it also produces enough energy for the electricity grid as well. But recently I came to know that there are also compact will mills that can be used by individuals to power their homes. The individual windmills start from 500 watt-hour capacity. Some of the…
Wind energy can be one of the future sources of free energy. There is a high possibility to get compact wind turbines for our homes. I saw someone already using that in our city but it was imported from some other country. #wind #energy #freeenergy #turbines https://stemgeeks.net/hive-163521/@bala41288/wind-turbines-can-soon-start-powering-individual-homes
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report It is always fun to do this post every Sunday. I have been doing this post for quite some time reviewing my account progress toward the goals I have set for myself. In addition to that, I also review my growth and come up with new goals as well to motivate myself. Seeing the account grow here is a really great thing and I feel some day or during the next bull run, the value of the account becomes really huge. Last week I set a new goal…
Happiness is creating enough passive income source I think money gives happiness. It is very peaceful if we know for sure that there will always be some money for our fundamental needs. That's what passive income is all about. Some people say that having too much of money doesn't give peace of mind but I would say that having no money will also not give peace of mind and that's why money is very important in our life. Freedom to take risks in life When we have enough money…
Passive income source is always important for Happiness. Some people might say money is not everything but they make sure they have enough money with them before they say all that rubbish.

Hive Price chart is indicating something Today when I checked the date, I remembered something. Last month somewhere around the start of the month, Hive had a massive pump. Not just last month but I noticed that even a month before there was a huge pump in the price of Hive. I was curious and wanted to check the price chart to find out if the facts were right. I still remember I was wondering if I should power up Hive or just sell it and book the profit on the 1st of August.…
Rising Star - My Earnings Report For a change, I thought I would try and calculate my earnings from Rising Star so far. I had to code something to calculate this and it is more like talking to the history API and getting all the STARBITS transfers to my account from the Rising Star game and calculating the total. I initially thought this value would be accurate but yeah it appears to be accurate. The reason is that Rising Star sends the STARBITS from only a single account…
