HPUD - Powered up 2000 Hive Yet another very busy month and I couldn't push further. I managed to power up 2000 Hive this month as well. I initially thought I should be able to power up at least a minimum of 5000 Hive per month but looks like that is definitely not an easy task but if I don't do that, it can be very hard to reach 100k Hive Power before the end of the year. I wouldn't complain much and would even say that 2000 Hive power is definitely a good power up but I…
Splinterlands - Trying out Liquidity pools for vouchers Splinterlands is a wonderful game on Hive that gives both passive income as well as active income opportunities. People who are staying invested for the long term might see this as a passive income opportunity if they have reached their ROI already. People who are actively playing this game might see this game as an active earning opportunity because the game is still rewarding the players very well. I'm more like a…
Banks hate it when you want to withdraw your cash from them Have you ever experienced this when you try to withdraw a huge amount of money from the bank? I recently had this experience. I was making some investment in the real world and I wanted to have some liquid cash in hand. I had to close one of the savings and received a credit of over 6000 $ in my bank account. **They call for verification** Immediately after the credit happened to my bank account, the bank people…
Eating less to live longer Longevity is an excellent thing. Our ancient scriptures in India say that people lived more than 100 years easily about 2000 years ago. There was evidence that Kings were very strong and were able to fight big battles all alone. Longevity is also something that is related to food and lifestyle. The life expectancy has increased recently with all the modern medicines we have. But what would have been the secret before 2000 years when the medical…
Ambition keeps changing throughout our life Ambition is a very good driving force. From a young age, I had lots of dreams and Ambitions about how my life should be and what I wanted to do in my life. I used to think a lot about that but today when I think back, I'm able to understand that ambition is something that would keep changing. When we are young we might have something in mind and gradually when we grow and mature, our ambitions will slowly start changing. Even today…
Hive is the easiest way to earn cryptocurrencies Many people from the real world would like to onboard in the crypto world. The first thing that goes to their mind is to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum. These two are the most popular coins for people who would like to get started in cryptocurrencies. There is no wonder that they heard only about these two cryptocurrencies. Among all the cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is still the superstar and there are many resources available for…
Top 10 qualities of a Genius Have you come across any Genius people? There are many Genius people around us and sometimes we think their intelligence is God's gift. Maybe that can be true, but we can see a few common things with the Genius people. They have some common qualities and those qualities are pretty much justifiable. It is common that we always compare ourselves if we read something like this. I was wondering if any of these points were matching my characteristics.…
Good practice for credit card users Having a credit card is a good thing and it will also increase our credit score making it a good thing to purchase additional properties or to make new investments in credit. When we take loans, credit score plays a very important role. We have to understand how credit card works and how strict we have to be with our spending before we start using credit cards. Credit card is definitely a good thing but if we don't have a good spending…
Game development possibilities on Hive Game development on Blockchain has always been a fascinating thing. The main reason is because people are able to use the features of blockchain to build their games. Gaming is mostly associated with rewards and fun. For the fun elements, the game mechanics would help but for the rewarding part, there is not much in the real-world game. Blockchain helps in rewarding a regular game and that's what makes blockchain games a special one.…
How to close your home loan faster in India When it comes to home loans, it is better to pay the loan off before the planned tenure. It can be hard to allocate funds to pay a home loan sooner than expected but if we do it, a major burden can be reduced and we can plan on next investments. In many countries, people don't go for home loans and purchase a property. They mostly prefer rented houses because they may not be willing to stay in just one place. This has been a…

Slowly the team is introducing features into the keychain that not only cover the wallet features but also some other features. A few days back swap feature was introduced on Keychain. This is a facility to swap our cryptocurrencies from one to another with just one click. For the users, this will be a…
Beware of Crypto based scams I have written many blogs in the past on this topic but I thought I should write again today. One of my friend's friend was scammed and nearly 700$ were stolen from his bank account due to ignorance. I received a call two days back from them and they wanted to ask me for an opinion. I was hearing the full story and it looks like it was a regular scam that was done with people who are curious about crypto and would like to learn about crypto. The…
So much of dependency on mobile phones these days Today every individual have their own mobile phone. Some people like me also have more than one phone. One official and one personal. It is self-evident that people find it hard to live without mobile phones. It has now become a part of our life which we cannot be without. You can call this a huge dependency or in other words people call this a white screen addiction too. I have to be very thankful that I at least did not…
Not missing this LEO power up day Last month I missed powering up LEO on the power-up day. Every month 15th is the LEO power-up day similar to the 1st of every month which is Hive Power-up day. This month it is going to be a little special power-up day for me because I decided to purchase some LEO from the market and do a big power-up. I have a goal in my mind to reach 15k LEO power soon. I'm already almost there but at least before the end of the year, I want to complete…
Comparing gold and bitcoin When someone is asking us about Bitcoin, one of the best comparisons that we can make is to compare it with Gold and tell them that Bitcoin is more like a commodity and not a stock. That's what I do and when I explain to them about Bitcoin and how the value of Bitcoin is created, they are able to relate it to Gold and understand it. We can easily say that it is created based on demand and supply but people will not be convinced to understand that.…
Fertility centers are increasing in India India is the most populated country in the world. Recently India crossed China in the list and became number 1. Even though it is one of the biggest countries in the world, it is also one of the most populated countries in the world. Fertility was never a problem in India and from the history, we are able to see that every family had more than 15 people in the family. Just 2 generations back we are able to see people having more than…
Mixed feelings on RNG in blockchain games These days most blockchain games have the RNG factor in the game. Not just in blockchain game but any game where money is involved RNG is very common. People might think that there is no RNG and it is purely based on skill and progress, but in the background, if that happens to be true, people will have to pay to win the game. When people want both fun and earning from the games, there is this factor of RNG involved in the game which…
Channeling gifts and inheritance to close off loans If we are taking a loan in India, it can be a burden for many years and it can be a burden until we close it. The interest rates are heavy and especially some personal loans are a huge burden. It is always best to not take a loan and try to satisfy our needs without taking any loans. Even if we do so, it is always good to finish off the loans as soon as possible. There are a few additional options available where people can…
Idea of getting global electricity grid The electricity and energy sector is going to be one of the biggest things in the future. If I remember it right Nicola Tesla wanted to work on a global electricity grid where the charges flow throughout the world and reach for electricity was easier for every individual. There is also a theory saying that there is already such energy prevailing on this earth. We just don't know how to harness that energy yet. As humans with the…
Fun or Money what do you expect from a blockchain game There are new definitions being created for blockchain games. These are some new concepts; nobody cared about this game genre in the past. These days blockchain games are becoming very popular and that is why people would like to compare it with the other types of games and come up with questions like these. Gone are the days when people play games only for the fun element. Today people prefer playing games not just for…
Don't regret missing the opportunity to buy Bitcoin cheap Some people might think that 30k USD is not a cheap price for Bitcoin. Those who had been in the crypto world would definitely think that 30k is costly compared to the 1000$ value a few years back. But today, the world is changing and things have changed a lot, and seeing the price near 30k would be a great thing after we realize it after a few years. Today I was reading an article where Robert Kiyosaki was very…
Is it sustainable to have a rooftop wind turbine? I have always had this in mind after seeing a video where someone had 4 turbines on their rooftop that gave close to 3.5 kw power and each one generated close to 1 kw. Ever since I saw that video, I was wondering if that was a feasible option for our home or not. Compared to solar power, wind turbines consume less space and in places where there is more wind like coastal regions, the efficiency will also be better. There are…
Basic medicine is mandatory for every individual These days the importance of knowing basic medicine is slowly vanishing. There are some household practices that are inherited from generations upon generations but these practices are now slowly reducing. People are creating more nuclear families and even in countries like India where living with parents and grandparents in the same house is still prevailing, this knowledge transfer is slowly reducing. We used to have a very…
Best time to write is during the start of the day Have you ever thought that doing something early in the morning is always good? Some people say this quite often and say that successful people are mostly morning people. I did not agree to that initially but from the look of it, doing things in the morning has always added more productivity is what I realized. I personally find it hard to switch to becoming a morning person but I really wish to be one considering the…
How to overcome writer's block? Writer's block is a very common thing and I'm sure any writer who is consistent in writing would have had this problem. The main problem comes only if you have boundaries set in your mind to decide what topics you are going to write about. If you have a free mind to write anything that comes to your mind, this problem won't matter. I definitely agree that mood plays a very important role when it comes to writing. On some of days, we won't feel…
How to be careful with NFTs? NFTs are always hot and people easily get excited about NFTs. I wanted to share some information on NFTs and how to choose the right NFTs if someone is planning to purchase some. We have to understand first if we know enough about NFTs. Otherwise, it is best to get started there and try to understand what is an NFT and how is it different from an FT. I have had a few friends who are new to the Crypto world ask me what this NFT is all about and if…
Invest on things that are not Scarce I was watching some of the videos of Robert Kiyosaki. This has been my thing for nearly two weeks now and I have been watching many videos where he talks a lot about making money and investing on something that would become an asset instead of a liability. There are so many lessons someone can take from his book Rich Dad Poor Dad but apart from that he is also giving a lot of sessions on YouTube videos where he talks about making the…
Bull market and Bear markets are very common in the crypto world When there is a bull market, the thought process will be that we will never have another bear market at all and people will easily get excited about it and never think about the worst-case scenario. When the Bear market happens, people don't think that there will be a bull market again but instead think that it will keep falling down continuously. The best outcome is when we make use of both market conditions.…
Blockchain helps in creating decentralized money One of the biggest use cases of Blockchain technology is Cryptocurrencies. This technology is not only an innovation in the way we store the data but it is also helpful in creating cryptocurrencies that can be used as an alternative to the regular FIAT currencies. The first ever cryptocurrency that was created with this technology was Bitcoin. Even though the use case for Bitcoin is very limited, it is still one of the best…
