6 months on read.cash

Happy 6th monthsary to me!

It feels like it was just yesterday that I joined read.cash. When I looked back on all the articles and short posts that I have published, I cannot help but to be proud of myself because I have made it this far. To date, I already have published 173 articles (making this 174) and 3 short posts. I joined read.cash on December 03, 2020 but I was not able to publish an article right away. It was either the next day or 2 days after. If I have started publishing since the day I joined up to this day, I should have 183 articles all in all. Well 174 is not bad already because there were really days or nights where I could not publish because of my migraine that it was so hard for me to look at the screen even if I have my sunglasses on. Then there were also those times when I thought that I have published it and as it turns out that I didn't. I know it happened twice. I really thought that I had published it only to find out the following day that I didn't. It was such heartbreaking for me. There was a time that I published 2 articles in a day to make up for the one that I missed the night before. However I just decided to publish only one because sometimes I cannot think of a topic to write about. I know some of you can agree with me of having nothing to write about.

Do you still remember your first few days or weeks here on read.cash? I remember it was @Telesfor who first welcomed me here on read.cash and upvoted one of my articles. I was so happy that time because someone read my article even if I felt like I was just blabbering about my life.

Then within a month of joining, I already got a sponsorship from bmjc98 and Macronald. The former and @bbghitte nominated me for the latter's patronage. I was really happy when I got my sponsorship from these 2 people.

That did not stop me from writing. Honestly it was even more challenging when someone sponsors you because for me I feel like they are expecting more from you. They sponsored you because they know you or they liked your articles that they wanted you to publish more and to be an inspiration to other readers. Whatever the reason they have in sponsoring you, I think we should be really grateful and use it to motivate us.

In my 6 months here in read.cash, I may have a few subscribers and sponsors but that is ok. If you have read one of my first articles, Why did I join read.cash?, I mentioned that it was because of the money because I got bills or debts to pay and my second reason was I wanted to use my brain because I felt like it has been a little rusty especially that I have been unemployed for too long and you can include the effects of the anaesthesia that I had from my operation last year. Additionally, I felt that this pandemic has also affected me or us intellectually. I really felt like I needed an outlet where I can utilize whatever it is that my brain still have. If you also have been my avid reader from the start, you would know that I started blogging in Kiki late 2019.

The other day I listed all of the articles that I have written. I know some of you have already made a compilation of your past articles and even your past earnings. So when I also did mine, I couldn't believe with how many articles I have published. I was able to track mine before when I was still using my old phone. Just an update: I still can't open it. I really have to bring it to an Apple store. I used to put a number on my articles whenever I am drafting them on my Notes app. So when I bought a new phone, I lost track.

I was really happy when I computed how much I have earned because I would have had 2BCH (or more especially during the recent ATH) by now. I would have achieved my 1BCH goal but because my priority is my debts, my goals are put to the side for the moment. Then thoughts were running through my mind after I have computed my earnings. Those what and what if's. What if I didn't have my debt, what will I do with my earnings? Will I just hodl it, use it or both? I think I would use half of it and hodl the other half.

With regards to sponsoring, I have not tried sponsoring some other users but I already have a few people on my mind. Just a question though, do I need to change my avatar before I can sponsor someone? I love my blue robot that is why I don't change it even on noise.cash I am still using my blue robot.

My 6 months here on read.cash has absolutely helped me with my financial responsibilities. I also met new people virtually and they had been included in my list of friends. I may not have seen most of them physically but by reading their articles or the stories about their life, I can somehow imagine who they are as a person. Not only that but I also get to learn something about the crypto world. I may have a little knowledge but I know someday I can also talk about crypto stuffs on one of my articles.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my past and present sponsors @bmjc98, @Macronald, @Firenze, @CryptoMax and @Bjorn. I also would like to thank everyone who have read, commented and upvoted my articles. You guys know who you are. Lastly I would like to thank all the people behind read.cash (and noise.cash) because if not for them again I wouldn't be able to pay my debts. If not for them I wouldn't be able to use my brain when we are just inside our houses (though I have been a home buddy since I resigned years ago and only get to hang out with my friends once a month). But I know that our present situation would have probably took a toll on me if I didn't met read.cash (and noise.cash).

I know I am not the only one that these platforms had helped especially during these tough times. I have read some articles and posts on noise.cash about their earnings and inspiring BCH stories. Let us continue to be a blessing and an inspirtation to others.
