Splinterlands - Very strong even after 6 years Most of the crypto projects start with a big bang but gradually lose their audience. The main reason can be because the project does not have any further development or the developers lose interest. Splinterlands is one of the solid projects on Hive that is still very fresh and has had a lot of development in the last 6 years. I'm very glad to see the game has crossed 6 good years with so many ups and downs in both the game as…
Three factors that control the power of compounding As many people say, compounding is just a magic that works well in finance. The magic of compounding is the best way to increase our money over time. We may not be able to understand what happens but we can do a simple investment religiously and consistently and see the magic happens. Today I'm realizing the opportunities that I had for doing simple investments. I had started an SIP several years back and did it for a few…
Can Bitcoin investment still be a thing? For those who are in the crypto markets for a very long time know very well about how the price of Bitcoin keeps going up and down. In the last few years, we can see a full upward trend for Bitcoin and despite many altcoins that have picked up speed, Bitcoin is still a wonderful investment for many people because they believe the demand for Bitcoin will not go down. **Huge demand for Bitcoin** There will always be a huge demand for…
Pain makes you strong When we were kids, we were mostly protected by our parents and family. They take care to the extent that we don't even get to harm ourselves due to ignorance. As we grow up, we continue to get such thing and it is a good thing because we have always had someone who would take care of us. Many people grow up with nobody to take care of them. These people are the ones who start to see pain in their life at a very early stage. It doesn't mean that other…
Where do we get our energy from? Most of the people think that we get our energy from the food that we eat. This is quite true but that alone is not the source of our energy. There are several other sources from which we get our energy. Even if we don't eat food for a day we will still get our energy to push ourselves for one more day if we have the right motivation. Scientifically it is true that we need food to stay energized throughout the day apart from food other things…
Buying cryptocurrencies under 1$ to revive portfolios There are investors and traders in the crypto world. Some people invest in the right coin and try to grab a good amount of profit when the time is right. In such cases there are several advantages in selecting a cryptocurrency that is just getting started but the ones that have great potential. Sometimes the small investments we do today can have a huge potential in bringing a big success in the future. **PEPE coin is on…
Plastics can destroy the human race The reality is that plastics can destroy the human race and maybe the entire living beings on the planet. Today I read an interesting article on how microplastics affect the semen quality in males. The link is available at the bottom of this article. There has been enough research work done already to prove how microplastics are good cancer-causing agents. Today reading this news about semen samples having microplastics is creating a fear…
Having crypto as an additional source of income I have always talked about having multiple additional sources of income along with our main income. That's what gives us the financial strength and at times when we need additional money in hand, these additional sources of income can provide us with the cash that we would need. If our primary employer is not having any conflict of interest in what we are doing, then we shouldn't be having any problem at all in running a…
9 great thoughts from Elon Musk It is always important to have motivating thoughts and no matter where it comes it is good to have them because it will help us stay motivated and it will be thoughtful. I'm not sure if these are Elon Musk's thoughts, but I saw this in one of the videos and thought it would be nice to put some of my thoughts on his thoughts and write an article. Continuous inspiration is good and whoever compiled this has done a great job. **Don't accept…
Keeping our Jobs safe against AI and Automations After AI was introduced one of the biggest fear people have is to think if they will lose their jobs or not. Recently many layoffs were happening in many MNC companies. Many companies are very strict these days in their recruitment of additional resources. They are choosing new resources that can add a lot of value to their company. Maybe this trend will change but the focus is more on getting the most of out of AI or…
Mind and body are interdependent This is something that I keep learning quite often by analyzing my body. Some days I feel more energetic and some days I don't feel like doing anything. On days I don't feel like doing anything, if I keep pushing hard, I end up making many mistakes in my work. This has been the case for a very long time and I was wondering what could be the cause. That's when I found out that both the mind and the body are interdependent and if one is having…
My first straight forward bribing experience There is a rule in India that we shouldn't give bribes or collect bribes for anything. These days nobody follows those rules. India is still one of the top countries regarding corruption and bribery. I recently had to visit one of the government offices for a name transfer and I had to experience a bribe. I have been following up on this for a very long time. **Government websites suck** The very first pain point is that the…
Finding an earning opportunity in the crypto world Not everyone who enters the crypto world can shine here. People find it hard to identify a good source of income in the crypto world. Some people look for returns from their investments and some people want to spend some time and earn some decent returns for the time spent. That's also a possibility in the crypto world. We can say that it is still very new and has many opportunities available. Many people create projects in…
People are confused with AI being the future In many companies, lots of people have started losing their jobs. It is very common and we cannot completely blame AI for that. Maybe to some extent, we can blame Automation for that but, indeed, people can gradually lose their jobs if the manual tasks are automated by some tools. AI is something that is different and it is also better than just automating stuff. As we are in the early stages of AI adoption, there are also…
Quitting our job to make money full time on YouTube There has been a trend recently where people wish to do some jobs from home at their convenience rather than going for a full-time job that demands working from office on all the days. Especially after Covid, this trend has been at its peak where people want to work from home at their convenient time. Many people started inclining more towards online platforms like YouTube and Instagram. We have to first understand that…
Is Hive moving towards a new all time low? It is unfortunate to see the price of Hive going down continuously. It is an unexpected thing because we expect the market to pump after the Bitcoin halving event but the pumping has not started yet. The price of Bitcoin alone was pretty much stable but the other altcoins are bleeding. The altcoins are drastically decreasing for a slight change in the price of BTC. I don't understand the logic behind this because when there is an…
How to handle unexpected expenses? People usually make a budget and spend according to their budget. Most of the financially focused people would do this. There will also be people who don't make such things and keep spending what they earn. Having a planned approach when it comes to financial management is very important. If we don't have proper plans, we may not be able to save enough money and if we don't have control over our expenses, we might end up spending a lot of…
Role of AI in education sector In the last few days, I have been learning a lot of new things related to coding. ORMs are one thing that has been going on for days. One thing that I noticed was that AI plays a significant role when it comes to learning. AI is everywhere and it is making our life easier. I was looking for some products on Amazon and checking for the ones with the highest and best reviews. On top of the review section, there is one common review that AI…
Running blockchain infrastructure is a great need in the blockchain industry Every blockchain will need an infrastructure run and maintained by the public. These people are called node operators. These nodes can be a validator node or a data node that provides blockchain data alone in API. There are multiple types of nodes based on the blockchain. The concepts can even differ from one blockchain to another, but the concept of a node requirement for a blockchain can be a…
Hive price is stabilizing now I did not imagine the Korean market could have such a huge impact on Hive's market. From this event, we can see that Koreans play a major role in keeping the price of Hive stable. When a new law was introduced in India for Virtual digital assets and when some of the Indian exchanges were affected, we did not see any major impact in the market. Still, when the South Korean government was trying to introduce rules for digital asset protection, the…
Web3 gaming considerations There are enormous opportunities available in the blockchain world, such as gaming. Many games are built on different blockchains and equality is competent and interesting for the players. We have to consider some things when it comes to web3 gaming. This article is going to provide some considerations that I can think of if we are building a blockchain game or if we are playing a blockchain game, these are the few things that we should be…
When BTC hits 50k I will be buying some The crypto market is not doing very great right now. There is a huge downtrend on the altcoins because of things happening in South Korea. Many Korean exchanges are having a big sell pressure on the altcoins. We know for a fact that something similar to this happened in every other country and people will get back to crypto no matter what. I don't think things like this will shatter cryptocurrencies completely. Having regulations in…
Investments to move towards Alt coins Some people predict that the alt season might start anytime soon. The main reason is that many people are booking their profits on Bitcoin. It is predicted that Bitcoin might fall further down and then an alt season might start because the capital might move towards altcoins. I'm not fully sure if that would be the case but I read a few articles where people have expressed that thought. I don't think the alt season can be solid this time…
Best time to look for a new job Working in a company for several years is good but there is a small chance that we might get stuck inside a comfort zone. There is no harm in working in the same company for several years as long as our needs are satisfied. But we must look for the right time to switch to our next job. My employer is keeping me happy and I have never thought about changing jobs but in recent months, I have been thinking about this and the factors that should…
Missed LPUD but doing it today Usually on the 15th of every month when Leo Power Up Day is celebrated, I power up whatever LEO tokens I had earned in the last month. This month I missed the opportunity to power up on the 15th. I realized it only later and by then LPUD was over. Today I thought it was never too late to do good things and wanted to power up all the liquid LEO that I had. I had earned some LEO on my `bala-leo` account too. I wanted to combine everything and…
Embracing and learning from failures We cannot be 100% successful on everything. There can be instances where we might end up unsuccessful no matter what effort we put in. There are two outcomes of the efforts. We either become successful or we learn something. Learning itself should give us the satisfaction we need and help us stay motivated. If we are someone who works hard for success and has been seeing success in almost everything, it can be very hard to embrace…
Comfort zone is against innovation It is said that "Necessity is the mother of invention". Today I found the real meaning for this in one of my real-world tasks. If we are paid very well and if we have no necessity to do great things, we wouldn't even think out of the box and we might travel on the same path with just a simple life. Imagine the life of people who will have to work hard and otherwise their family will sleep hungry. Those are the painful necessities and the…
Having pet animals is a very good thing Pets are always good companions. I used to wonder if it would be nice to have pets at home or not. From a young age, I liked having pets at home but my parents don't want them. I grew up in an environment where most people in the family don't like pets. But it is very interesting to see after visiting some of my friend's houses and a few relatives who consider pets as one of their family members. Even now I'm okay to have pets at home…
