Powered up 2500 Hive today on the occasion of Hive Power Up Day Every month the first date is celebrated as Hive Power up day. Last month we had two power-up days. One was on the first of the month and another was on the 20th of March because that was the anniversary date for Hive. That was a special power-up day initiated by theycallmedan. I was able to participate and power up 2700 Hive on that date. I'm glad that we are moving to a new fresh month. Hopefully, this month…
My Splinterlands earnings report Splinterlands is one of the best active income and passive income-generating games on Hive. Some people have the time to play every day and some people don't have the time to play and use the account only for generating passive income. I'm in the second category. I don't have enough time to play the game, so I rent out my cards to earn DEC every month. Rental markets are one of the best sources for earning DEC. The next best source to earn is…
Cryptocurrencies will live as long as the internet lives Today I was having a conversation about cryptocurrencies with one of my colleagues. They are very new to crypto and mostly they argue that crypto is not ready for the world yet the first argument that comes from them is that crypto is only for gambling stuff and not for any real-world needs. It takes a very good time to explain to them the good benefits of crypto and how someone can make a business on top of crypto.…
Software Tester jobs are slowly reducing In the corporate world, modern development is moving in a direction where Software testing is no longer becoming a necessity. I understand that testing is very important for any software but the strategy is slowly changing. In my company, there are still people doing software testing but mostly only in legacy products but modern products have a different testing approach. There is a scrum team that consists of developers and each…
Things to keep in mind while trading or holding Hive Cryptocurrencies are giving an opportunity to both hold and trade. Some people who are good with trading find trading a better revenue source than just holding it in their wallets. If you happen to choose a good coin or token that would give a great APR and if the price of the token or coin is also very stable, then maybe holding is better than trading. But if you have enough time to observe the market and do the buy and…
Hetzner servers available with zero setup fees I have been using Hetzner for my server needs. I do have some servers from other providers too but mostly it is Hetzner. A few weeks back I had to check on my servers and order new servers to create some backups servers and move some of my existing applications from one server to another server. One of the biggest reasons why I was doing this activity was because one of my servers was crashing. It goes to rescue mode and I have…
Downsides of NPM package manager NPM is the most popular and primary package manager for Node.js. In fact, we can even say that every developer when they start learning nodejs, they have to also learn about npm package manager. They start with npm and maybe gradually switch to other better package managers like Yarn or Pnpm. Only after using npm for some time, do they understand that it is painful to work on npm and how much time it consumes. Though npm is very popular,…
Knowledge is more important than money Some people might have this perspective that money can buy us anything and if we have money in our life, we should be able to have anything in this world. That's not true. We cannot get a healthy body and healthy mind with just money alone. But what is greater than money? I would say that knowledge is a most important thing than money. It is not my own perspective but many people believe that knowledge is very important and money alone…
Financial engineering might be a popular course in colleges Maybe Financial Engineering is not already a course but probably we might see that course in colleges in another few years. I may even be wrong and there can be a subject for financial engineering in some of the colleges even now. I would say this is a very important field and mostly there will be a great demand for this field in various fields like mathematics, data analytics, problem-solving, computation, etc.…
Ram Sethu - Indian movie review These days I find it hard to pick some good movies to watch. I hardly watch movies these days. Mostly because I'm usually busy with my projects. But recently I have started watching some recent movies with my wife. Sometimes we also choose some old movies to watch. Mostly good feel movies. This movie was recommended by @inuke. Thanks, man. I might need some more movie recommendations from you because we don't have anything on our list to watch…
Bitcoin touching 30k is a good sign for alt coins Yesterday Bitcoin slowly and steadily touched 30k once again. This is one of the greatest news for crypto investors especially people who have invested in Bitcoin. There is a high possibility that this can drag the entire market to the next bull run. I'm not saying this because BTC touched 30k but because it appears that the market is not going down and have been very stable in the last few months. This appears like a calm…
Some thoughts on my Bee keeping dreams Bees have always been a fascinating topic for me to write about. I still remember that when I started my journey on Steem, I used to write articles on topics related to "Honey as a medicine". I remember writing many articles on Bees as it is my favorite. If I get a chance, I would be interested to do Beekeeping definitely someday. I currently don't have a proper facility to start doing beekeeping. I might start doing this at one point…
Reasons to play games on Hive Hive games are very interesting and also highly rewarding. We are able to see that Hive is becoming more like a platform on top of that many projects are built than just being a blogging platform alone. Gaming is one of the biggest use cases Hive currently has. With the help of the Custom Json feature we have on the chain, we are able to build some beautiful things on Hive. I was thinking about what could be the reason why people choose to play…
Bitcoin is not a good source of passive income When it comes to crypto, many investors look for passive income opportunities. But most people start with Bitcoin as their first-ever investment. The main reason is that they believe in Bitcoin and also bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. If someone would like to grow their invested asset, Bitcoin investment alone may not be the right thing to do. We don't get any perks for holding Bitcoin or staking Bitcoin. There are…
Blogging is not the only way you can contribute to Hive Most people are attracted to Hive and join the ecosystem to earn some rewards for them based on their contributions to this platform. Initially, Hive started out as a blogging platform. But today we have so many other opportunities available on Hive where we don't have to restrict our contributions to just blogging alone. There is a strong reward pool that operates to reward the users with votes when they blog. This is…
Flying with the eagles If we want a view of the world from an eagle's perspective then the best way to do it is to fly with the eagles. This analogy can be used for many things but I'm going to be writing this article from a financial standpoint. Most of us think that we have to become rich or we have to be financially free someday. In order to achieve something like this, it is also important to fly with the eagles. This means that we have to know what rich people are doing…
Recently started staking all my GLX earnings from Airdrop I have recently started staking all my GLX earnings from both Staked SPS rewards and from Staked rewards. I was initially using the funds I earned here to purchase and stake SPS. But I have changed the strategy now and wanted to stake whatever I earn for now. The main reason is that I was able to see some updates from the team recently and so it appears that the game is progressing. I wanted to make sure I have…
Using pnpm as the package manager in nodejs projects I have been slowly switching to pnpm as my default package manager. The main reason is that it is fast and consumes only less space. It manages the node_modules folder very well I think. I have also been working on converting my nodejs projects to a type module that uses import statements instead of require. Along with that, I have also started using pnpm as my default package manager. I have been using pnpm for almost all…
Buying a car investment or expense I had to run into this discussion with one of my colleagues today. Investment is something that should give us some security over the money we have and maybe even give us some returns on top of that. Investments should not be something on which we spend our money but the value keeps depreciating. This is what I had as an argument during the discussion. Glad that it was a smooth conversation that mostly both of us agreed that the Car is just…
Bought 24 packs and opened them in Rising Star It has been a very long time since I did some activity on this game. This is one of my favorite games on Hive. During the early days, this game was very popular and had many fans because this was one of the early games on Hive. I personally played this game a lot. These days I'm finding it hard to remember and do the mission regularly. But I have this game open on my browser all the time and I play the game whenever possible. I…
Challenges in onboarding people to the crypto world We all talk about onboarding new members to Hive but in general, if we have to onboard people to Hive, the very first thing is that they have to be onboarded to the crypto world first. The conversation will have to start with Blockchain technology and then explaining them about cryptocurrencies. When we usually start explaining about blockchain technology, they usually pay attention to this and try to understand but when we…
Have you ever tried mining crypto? Cryptocurrency mining used to be one of the craziest things a few years back. I don't know but I still hear that it is great for many people based on the coin they choose to mine. I thought I should share my mining experience and my knowledge of mining. There used to be a time when mining was really great. I had a few friends who wanted to mine Bitcoin. There were a few who were mining Ethereum daily and it was giving them a lot of returns.…
Bought 20 unique cards from the market Rising Star is still one of the great games on Hive and it is also one of the early games on Hive that came up with a Play2Earn concept. There are so many players still playing this game. A few days back I wrote an article mentioning that I bought some packs in the Rising Star game and opened those packs. I was a bit lucky to get two cards from one pack opening but I should say that I wasn't lucky enough. I found out that only after…
Splinterlands - Perks for staking SPS in my account I'm very glad that I made a decision to stake SPS on my account instead of going for other investments like purchasing cards or purchasing DEC and holding them. I know that might be good too but SPS staking is very interesting I should say and the game team is coming up with innovative ideas to reward people who are staking SPS. I'm sure they might have more plans to reward people for staking SPS. The only mistake that I…
Project Cheetah - Sad to see that second Cheetah died The Indian government took up an initiative recently to introduce Cheetah to India after it was extinct in India because of hunting. India used to have a lot of Cheetah and it was very good in flora and fauna. Due to excessive hunting, many species got extinct. There are still places all over the world where Hunting is a sport and they kill wild animals for fun. It can get political to talk about these but I don't like…
Be careful with bad actors during P2P transactions People use multiple options to buy and sell crypto. After the recent regulations from the government, there are several means by which people can do crypto transactions and people also consider it very safe. But today there was a message getting popular on Twitter that showed the risk while doing P2P transactions on Binance. https://twitter.com/sonali_rawat12/status/1651591907162869760 Binance is one of the best exchanges…
Do you keep your Honeygain application up to date? I had written several articles in the past on Honeygain and how it is a good source of passive income. More like free money for sharing our unused internet. I have been using Honeygain for almost 2 years now. The earning from Honeygain is very less comparatively but I'm okay with that because it at least helps in paying our Internet bill or electricity bill for a few months. Even though I have not cashed out anything, the…
Do something more than just saving your money When we talk about saving, it is usually bank deposits or keeping the money safe in some place. Only a few people invest their money in something that would give a decent income back to them. Cryptocurrencies are a gift to see some fast income growth. When I say fast income growth, it sure that it also comes with all the necessary risks as well. But we have to also understand that every investment comes with some risk and we…
