The crypto dream "To own a Bitcoin".[ENG-ESP]
Every day I read a little bit of news regarding the world of cryptocurrencies, with the intention of being a little bit informed or learning something new. Recently I read that with the fall of the Bitcoin in the last weeks the number of wallets with 1BTC increased a lot.
For people like me who are just neophytes in the crypto world, it is a dream to be able to have a Bitcoin in a wallet.
The fall in value that crypto assets have suffered has made it possible to make the acquisition more accessible. And that's precisely what it's all about, buying when prices are low.
Right now that the value of BTC is around 20 to 23 thousand USD, compared to its historical maximum of 60 thousand USD makes us think that right now is an ideal price to buy some Satoshis if you do not have the capital to buy an amount equal to or greater than one BTC. It is really interesting how the number of people with 1 BTC has increased in these last weeks, because, I think that with this fact, it shows us how the confidence in the Blockchain world is growing more and more. I always mention about the Venezuelan economy, but in reality the world economy is in crisis and the traditional systems of conceiving the economy are also in crisis. It is more the devaluation of money than the interest offered in the banks. So if you want to lose capital, deposit your money in a bank.
On the other hand, the rates of increase in the value of cryptos are increasingly higher, and although there are moments of decline, which are normal in the markets because there is always a bidding of value, if we know how to study the projects and draw short, medium and long term goals with certain margins, we can devise financial plans within the blockchain world that will make us generate wealth.
Moreover, if there is one thing that Bitcoin and other currencies such as Bitcoin Cash have, it is that they are not infinite. Making it impossible to print new coins and thus evading the devaluation of its price, as it will increasingly increase demand and decrease supply. Therefore, my utopian dream is that one Satoshi will be equivalent to one dollar. It sounds far-fetched, but today if you buy 100 USD (THIS IS NOT A FINANCIAL TIP) they are equivalent to an approximate 430,000.00 Satoshi, that is, if in 10 years the Satoshi is equivalent to one dollar. You will not have 100USD in your wallet, but 430,000 USD. I give this example to illustrate the power of cryptos in the future.
As I said, I don't have 1 BTC in my wallet, but that is my dream, I hope one day to reach it or surpass it and go further. Thanks for reading.

El Sueño crypto “Tener un Bitcoin”
Cada día leo un poco de noticias con relación al mundo de las criptomonedas, con la intención de estar un poco informado o aprender algo nuevo. Recientemente leí que con la bajada del Bitcoin de estas últimas semanas aumentó mucho el número de billeteras con 1BTC.
Para personas como yo que no somos más que neófitos del mundo cripto es un sueño poder contar con la tenencia de un Bitcoin en alguna billetera.
La caída del valor que han sufrido los cripto activos ha hecho posible que la adquisición sea más accesible. Y precisamente de eso se trata, comprar cuando los precios están bajos.
Ahora mismo que el valor del BTC ronda entre los 20 y 23 mil USD, en comparación a su máximo histórico de 60 mil USD nos hace pensar que en este momento es un precio ideal para comprar algunos Satoshis de no poseer el capital para comprar una cantidad igual o superior a un BTC. Es realmente interesante como el número de personas con 1 BTC ha aumentado en estas últimas semanas, porque, pienso que con este hecho, nos muestra como la confianza en el mundo Blockchain va creciendo cada vez más y más. Siempre menciono sobre la economía venezolana, pero en realidad la economía mundial está en crisis y los sistemas tradicionales de concebir la economía también lo están. Es más la devaluación del dinero que los los intereses ofrecidos en los bancos. Así que si quieres perder capital, deposita tu dinero en algún banco.
En cambio, las tasas de incremento de valor de las criptos cada vez son mayores, y aunque haya momentos de baja, que son normales en los mercados porque siempre se está en una puja de valor, si sabemos estudiar los proyectos y trazar metas a corto, mediano y largo plazo con ciertos márgenes, podemos idear planes financieros dentro del mundo blockchain que nos haga generar riqueza.
Además, si algo tiene Bitcoin y otras monedas como Bitcoin Cash, es que no son infinitas. Haciendo imposible la impresión de nuevas monedas y evadiendo de ese modo la devaluación de su precio, ya que cada vez aumentará más la demanda y disminuirá la oferta. Por eso, mi sueño utópico es que un Satoshi equivalga a un dolar. Suena descabellado, pero hoy en día si compras 100 USD (ESTO NO ES UN CONSEJO FINANCIERO) equivalen a un aproximado de 430,000.00 Satoshi, es decir, que si en 10 años el Satoshi equivale a un dólar. No tendrás 100USD en la billetera, sino 430 Mil USD. Este ejemplo, lo pongo para ilustrar el poder que tienen as criptos a futuro.
Como lo he dicho, no poseo 1 BTC en mi billetera, pero ese es mi sueño, espero algún día alcanzarlo o superarlo y poder ir más allá. Gracias por leer.
The evolution of the Web [ENG-ESP]
In these last centuries technology has been advancing at an incredibly fast pace, and in these last decades we have noticed it even more. Look at your hands, it is very likely that at this moment you have your smartphone in your hand, some 30 years ago we did not imagine being able to be hyperconnected in the way we are today. Thanks to the internet, many borders have been abolished, and we can do a lot of things we couldn't imagine before.
But, the internet has not always been the same, like all technology it is constantly improving and optimizing. In short, we could say that we have lived through three great moments in the development of the Internet. What is known as web1, web2 and web3.
Let us briefly mention each of these stages, trying to outline the differences between each of these stages. Let's start with the first one in chronological order
WEB1
Born in the 90's, it is characterized by a limited access to information, the pages were static and it is basically the beginning of e-commerce.
WEB2
Born in 2005 with the emergence of social networks and the possibility of connecting mobile devices to the Internet. The idea of the cloud was also born.
And so we arrive at the current
WEB3
With the birth of Bitcoin, in 2009 the concept of Blockchain was born. It proposes a decentralized data architecture, and also proposes a decentralized economy.
Currently, in this year 2022, we are still working for a better and better development of this web3. The idea that he defends the most is decentralization, as he proposes a revolutionary turn not only in the internet, but in the way we think about society, and I think it is a turn for which we are not yet ready as a society.
Digital infrastructures, such as Bitcoin Cash, are proposals that bring value to society if not print a new way of thinking about life. Two years ago I started my journey in this world of cryptocurrencies and since then I can say that not only my economy has changed, but my financial education has improved abysmally. I feel that Blockchain, not only makes us true protagonists of our life, but also makes us aware of our responsibility.
Thank you for reading...

**La evolución de la Web**
En estos últimos siglos la tecnología ha estado avanzando a un ritmo increíblemente veloz, y en estas últimas décadas lo hemos notado aún más. Mira tus manos, es muy probable que en este momento tengas tu smartphone en la mano, hace unos 30 años no imaginábamos poder estar hiperconectados del modo en el cual estamos hoy. Gracias al internet se han abolido muchas fronteras, y podemos hacer un montón de cosas que antes no imaginábamos.
Pero, el internet no ha sido siempre igual, como toda tecnología está en un constante mejoramiento y optimización. De manera resumida se podría decir que hemos vivido tres grandes momentos en el desarrollo de internet. Lo que se conoce como web1, web2 y web3.
Mencionemos de manera breve cada una de estas etapas, intentando esbozar las diferencias entre cada una de estas etapas. Comencemos con la primera en orden cronológico
WEB1
Nace en la década de los 90, se caracteriza por un acceso limitado a la información, las páginas eran estáticas y básicamente es el inicio del e-commerce.
WEB2
Nace en el 2005 con el surgimiento de las redes sociales y con la posibilidad de conectar los dispositivos móviles al internet. También nace la idea de la nube.
Y así llegamos a la actual
WEB3
Con el nacimiento de Bitcoin, en el 2009 nace el concepto de Blockchain. Que propone una arquitectura de datos descentralizada, y también proponen una economía descentralizada.
Actualmente, en este año 2022, seguimos trabajando por un desarrollo cada vez mejor de esta web3. La idea que más defiende es la descentralización, ya que propone un giro revolucionario no solo en el internet, sino en el modo de pensar la sociedad y creo que es un giro para el que aun no estamos preparados como sociedad.
Infraestructuras digitales, tal como Bitcoin Cash, son propuestas que aportan valor a la sociedad si no que imprimen un nuevo modo de pensar la vida. Hace dos años comencé mi camino en este mundo de las criptomonedas y desde entonces puedo decir que no solo mi economía ha cambiado, sino que, mi educación financiera ha mejorado de manera abismal. Siento que en Blockchain, no solo nos hace verdaderos protagonistas de nuestra vida, sino que nos hace consiente de nuestra responsabilidad.

Books in the NFT world [ENG-ESP]
There are two things in the world that I am very passionate about, besides philosophy which has been the career I have chosen, on the one hand, blockchain technology and, on the other hand, books, literature, in fact, one of my big dreams is to publish a book with a publishing house. But I asked myself, to what extent blockchain technology will not come to embrace the literary field in the same way as it has done with music, digital art, video games or content creation?
So I started thinking about the possibility that an NFT platform could be erected that could hold books, a sort of bookstore 3.0 A place where writers could put their works for sale as NFT. The idea is not to supplant book stores, but to promote in them an approach to new technologies.
Let's imagine that in the not too distant future, each publishing house has its own platform and that writers can postulate their works according to the criteria of the publisher, even if this is something centralized, writers can choose where and how to offer their works NFT, because this will open the way to decentralized platforms in building a project like this.
Environmentally, it could have its benefits because we would no longer need paper, because reading and writing would be digital. It is undoubtedly the approach and the displacement that we as a society are making towards the digital. Although I am one of the people who prefer to read a book in physical format rather than in digital format, it is undoubtedly that the use of paper is harmful to society by cutting down trees, although it is also very harmful the waste of electricity every time new projects are added to the crypto world, but the energy issue we will leave for another time. The truth is that thinking about literary texts as an NFT article is a very interesting task for me. I think I'm going to investigate about it, I do not promise anything, just that I will document myself a lot about this matter and then I will tell you about it. Because each author has the rights to his work, by selling a book as a NFT he would not be able to assign his rights. What I find interesting is that publishers are already thinking about the NFT issue.
As I said, I prefer a physical text, on paper, I love that, and maybe this in the future of NFT books is not something that will be lost, but it will be in the background. You can opt for a physical version when you buy your NFT. Also, it would be interesting to think of this technology as a strategy against piracy. Because even though, it is something that seems like it will not go away, with the use of blockchain technology in the book market it will be a tough action against piracy.

*Los libros dentro del mundo NFT*
Hay dos cosas en el mundo que me apasionan mucho, además de la filosofía que ha sido la carrera que he escogido, por un lado, la tecnología blockchain y, por otro lado, los libros, la literatura, de hecho, uno de mis grandes sueños es poder publicar un libro con alguna casa editorial. Pero me he preguntado, hasta qué punto la tecnología blockchain no llegará a abarcar el ámbito literario del modo como lo ha hecho con la música, el arte digital, los videojuegos o la creación de contenido
Así que me puse a pensar en la posibilidad de que se pueda erigir una plataforma NFT que pueda contener libros, una especie de librería 3.0 Un lugar donde los escritores puedan poner sus obras en venta como NFT. No se trata de suplantar a las tiendas de libros, sino de promover en ellas una aproximación a las nuevas tecnologías.
Imaginemos que en un futuro no muy lejano, cada casa editorial posea su plataforma y que los escritores puedan postular sus obras según los criterios de editorial, aunque esto sea algo centralizado, los escritores puedan elegir donde y como ofertar sus obras NFT, porque esto abrirá paso a plataformas descentralizadas en construir un proyecto como este.
Ambientalmente, podría tener sus beneficios porque ya no necesitaríamos papel, porque la lectura y escritura seria algo digital. Es indudable el acercamiento y el desplazamiento que como sociedad vamos haciendo hacia lo digital. Aunque, soy de las personas que prefiere leer un libro en formato físico antes que en formato digital, es indudable que el uso del papel es nocivo para la sociedad por la tala de árboles, aunque también es muy nocivo el gasto de energía eléctrica cada vez que se van anexando nuevos proyectos al mundo cripto, pero el asunto energético vamos a dejarlo para otra ocasión. Lo cierto es que pensar a los textos literarios como un artículo NFT me resulta una tarea muy interesante. Creo voy a investigar al respecto, no prometo nada, solo que me documentaré bastante sobre este asunto y luego les contaré. Porque cada autor tiene los derechos de su obra, al vender un libro como un NFT no podría ceder sus derechos. Lo que me parece interesante es que las casas editoriales ya vayan pensando el asunto de los NFT.
Como dije, prefiero un texto en físico, en papel, eso me encanta, y quizá esto en el futuro de los libros NFT no es algo que se vaya a perder, sino que quedará en un segundo plano. Puedes optar por una versión física al adquirir tu NFT. También, sería interesante pensar esta tecnología como una estrategia en contra de la piratería. Porque aunque, sea algo que parece que no desaparecerá, con el uso de la tecnología blockchain en el mercado de los libros será una dura acción en contra de la piratería.

Is Venezuela ready for a widespread adoption of Cryptocurrencies?[ENG-ESP]
I must start this article by saying that what I will say below is a purely speculative opinion, not based on facts. Precisely what I am trying to do is to show a fairy of will to move the spirit of the writer (and why not the reader?) to start an investigation and survey to try to explore how much, or not, Venezuelan citizens want to take advantage of the countless opportunities and benefits of blockchain technology and the web3.
All the technology that enables the existence and development of cryptocurrencies is extremely broad, we usually summarize everything with one word Blockchain and it is not wrong, in fact, it is the appropriate term, but what happens with extremely specialized terms is that to most people these terms represent very little or rather, nothing. To take a random example, not many people we might run into on the street will know or understand what fluid dynamics is and what it is all about, unless you are in civil engineering or physics, this is irrelevant to you. But, everyone needs drinking water, even if they know nothing about fluid dynamics.
The same happens with money, although it is in everyone's hand or well almost everyone, only few people know how money really works, although they use it daily they do not know how it is generated. Why would it be different with cryptocurrencies? I think we should focus our gaze and direct our energies to show people the benefits of this new technology and then little by little educate them about how it works in a profound way.
Right now, Venezuela is the country with more Bitcoin transactions, but I go out in the street and it seems that most people do not know what Bitcoin is about, and when I try to talk to them about the existence of ways to start using cryptocurrencies, they become closed. I have a feeling that the Crypto world to this day behaves like the phrase in the prologue of Nietzsche's Zarathustra "...it is for everyone and no one."
I do not feel that Venezuela possesses all the conditions to adopt cryptocurrencies in a generalized way, however, this should not be a limit for those of us who work as disseminators and educators of the blockchain system. I must confess that I, myself, sympathize with two projects that I think are great, each with their unique characteristics that make them for me, the two best projects with untold potential in their growth and with unparalleled scalability. On the one hand, the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, and, on the other hand, the Hive blockchain.
Now, knowing that the necessary means do not exist for a massive adoption, I think the work is harder, but it has been building a critical mass of people who believe and trust in blockchain technology and continue to publicize these projects is the task, show and demonstrate the reliability, and how beneficial it would be for everyone in Venezuela as far as possible to adopt blockchain technology in different areas.

**¿Está preparada Venezuela para una adopción generalizada de Criptomonedas?**
Debo comenzar este artículo diciendo que lo que diré a continuación es una opinión meramente especulativa, no está basada en hechos. Precisamente lo que intenta es asomar un hado de voluntad por mover el espíritu de quien escribe (Y ¿por qué no de quien lee?) a comenzar una investigación y sondeo para intentar explorar que, tanto o no, desean los ciudadanos venezolanos aprovechar las incontables oportunidades y beneficios de la tecnología blockchain y la web3.
Toda la tecnología que posibilita la existencia y el desarrollo de las criptomonedas es extremadamente amplia, normalmente resumimos todo con una palabra Blockchain y no está mal, de hecho, es el término apropiado, pero lo que sucede con términos extremadamente especializados es que a la mayoría de las personas estos términos representan muy poco o más bien, nada. Por poner un ejemplo cualquiera, no muchas personas con la que podamos toparnos por la calle sabrán o entenderán qué es y de qué va la dinámica de fluidos, a menos que dediques a la ingeniería civil o a la física, esto te será irrelevante. Pero, a todas las personas le es necesario el servicio de agua potable, aunque no sepan nada de dinámica de fluidos.
De igual modo ocurre con el dinero, aunque está en la mano de todos o bueno casi todos, solo pocas personas saben como funciona realmente el dinero, aunque lo usen a diario desconocen como se genera. ¿Por qué sería diferente con las criptomonedas? Creo que debemos enfocar la mirada y direccionar las energías a mostrarle a las personas los beneficios de eta nueva tecnología y luego poco a poco ir educando sobre su funcionamiento de manera profunda.
Ahora mismo, Venezuela, es el país con más transacciones Bitcoin, pero, salgo a la calle y pareciera que la mayoría de las personas no saben de qué va el Bitcoin, y cuando le intento hablar de que existen modos de comenzar a usar criptomonedas se tornan cerrados. Tengo el presentimiento que el mundo Cripto hasta el día de hoy se comporta como la frase del prólogo del Zaratustra de Nietzsche “...es para todos y para nadie.”
No siento que Venezuela posea todas las condiciones para adoptar de manera generalizada a las criptomonedas, sin embargo, esto no debería ser un límite para quienes trabajamos como difusores y educadores del sistema blockchain. Debo confesar que yo, simpatizo con dos proyectos que me parecen estupendos, cada uno con sus características únicas que los hacen para mí, los dos mejores proyectos con un potencial indecible en su crecimiento y con una escalabilidad sin igual. Por un lado, la blockchain de Bitcoin Cash, y, por otro lado, la blockchain de Hive.
Ahora bien, a sabiendas de la no existencia de los medios necesarios para una adopción masiva, creo que el trabajo es más duro, pero se ha venido construyendo una masa crítica de personas que creen y confían en la tecnología blockchain y seguir dando a conocer estos proyectos es la tarea, mostrar y demostrar la confiabilidad, y lo benéfico que sería para todos en Venezuela en la medida de lo posible poder adoptar la tecnología blockchain en sus diferentes ámbitos.
Protect your money with BCH [ENG-ESP]
It is no secret that the economies of nation-state projects are going through a period of crisis at a global level, the euro had a fall like never before in its history, the dollar has also suffered a strong devaluation and not to mention Latin American economies. Countries like Venezuela have decades of devaluation and inflation. The monetary cones have changed 3 times in the last 20 years, the most recent was the annulment of 6 zeros to the currency.
The price of the dollar in relation to the bolivar is basically governed by two sources, on the one hand the price dictated by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) and on the other hand by unofficial pages, and those second ones have been the ones that have won the debate on the prices of the dollar in relation to the Bolivar.
It is also no secret that governments today, not having their money backed by anything, can print and print more money, or as they do here in Venezuela, they deposit bonds in people's bank accounts, thus creating inflation and causing Fiat money to lose its strength, although here in Venezuela it has not even a hint of solidity left.
The truth is that it seems that contemporary history does not favor nation-state projects, having a direct economic impact on their economies since they have centralized banking systems.
Instead, projects such as Bitcoin Cash, which is becoming more and more accepted globally, propose an interesting value proposition for both the commercial system and the personal sphere.
If we talk about protecting our money as I mentioned in the title of this article, the BCH protocol thanks to wallets like the Bitcoin Wallet, allow me not only to store my capital indifferently be a few pains or are really many, now, the security guarantee that has my money in this wallet will depend only on me, there is no trusted third party to "safeguard" my money, it's me. Since we are talking about a decentralized project. So we must take care of our security and make the relevant backups of the security key. In other words, we are our own bank.
Now, Bitcoin Cash as the whole Crypto market has recently suffered a correction in its price. However, the fluctuating market movement has its advantages and disadvantages. Right now, at a low price it is indisputable that the best thing to do is to buy or at least not to sell. But this is not financial advice. The point I am getting at is that if we look at the big picture, look at the process of BCH since its emergence in 2017 and compare it to the economies of nation states from the same year until today, it is noticeable that BCH shows greater strength and also seems to project a better future. But, I cannot be making conjectures about the future and least of all I who am not at all an expert on this matter.
What is certain is that the Bitcoin Cash project and its global community are working hard and are promoting a promising future. And now is the time to give it a chance and take the reins of your economy and your capital.

**Protege tu dinero con BCH**
No es un secreto que las economías de los proyectos de estado nación están teniendo un periodo de crisis a nivel global, el euro tuvo una caída como nunca en su historia, el dólar también ha sufrido una fuerte devaluación y ni hablar de economías latinoamericanas. Países como Venezuela tienen décadas de devaluación e inflación. Los conos monetarios han cambiado 3 veces en los últimos 20 años, el más reciente fue la anulación de 6 ceros a la moneda.
El precio del dólar con relación al bolívar de rige básicamente por dos fuentes, por un lado el precio dictado por el Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV) y por otro lado por páginas no oficiales, y esas segundas han sido las que han ganado el debate sobre los precios del dólar con relación al Bolivar.
Tampoco es un secreto que los gobiernos en la actualidad al no tener respaldado su dinero en nada, pueden imprimir e imprimir más dinero, o como lo hacen acá en Venezuela depositan bonos en las cuentas bancarias de las personas, creando de ese modo inflación y que el dinero Fiat pierda fuerza, aunque acá en Venezuela no le queda ni un atisbo de solidez.
Lo cierto es que parece que la historia contemporánea no favorece a los proyectos estado nación, teniendo una repercusión económica directa en sus economías ya que poseen sistemas centralizados de Banca.
En cambió, proyectos como el Bitcoin Cash, que cada vez se hace más aceptado a nivel global, sino que propone una Interesante propuesta de valor tanto para el sistema comercial como para el ámbito personal.
Si hablamos de proteger nuestro dinero como lo he mencionado en el título de este artículo, el protocolo de BCH gracias a billeteras como la Bitcoin Wallet, me permiten no solo almacenar mi capital indiferentemente sean unos pocos dolores o sean realmente muchos, ahora bien, la garantía de seguridad que tiene mi dinero en esta billetera dependerá solamente de mí, no hay un tercero de confianza que "resguarde" mi dinero, soy yo. Ya que hablamos de un proyecto descentralizado. De modo que debemos cuidar nuestra seguridad hacer los respaldos pertinentes de la llave de seguridad. En otras palabras somos nuestro propio banco.
Ahora bien, Bitcoin Cash como todo el mercado Cripto recientemente ha sufrido una corrección en su precio. Sin embargo, el fluctuante movimiento del mercado tiene sus ventajas y sus desventajas. Ahora mismo, a un precio bajo es indiscutible que lo mejor que podemos hacer es comprar o por lo menos no vender. Pero,esto no es un consejo financiero. Al punto dónde quiero llegar es que si miramos el panorama entero, miramos el proceso de BCH desde su surgimiento en 2017 y lo comparamos con las economía de estados nación desde el mismo año hasta hoy, es notable que BCH muestra una mayor solidez y además parece proyectar un mejor porvenir. Pero, no puedo estar haciendo conjeturas sobre el futuro y menos yo que no soy para nada un experto sobre este asunto.
Lo cierto es que el proyecto Bitcoin Cash y su comunidad a nivel global está trabajando duro y están promoviendo un porvenir prometedor. Y ahora es el momento de darle una oportunidad y tomar las riendas de tu economía y tu capital.
How to earn Cryptos in Cryptowinter [ENG-ESP]
All traders, or those of us who call ourselves crypto-enthusiasts, know that markets have a cyclical behavior, in which bullish periods are to sell and bearish ones to accumulate, well that is the theory since as we all know the maxim will always be: "buy low and sell high". But, accumulating in the midst of an inflationary crisis is a challenge.
However, we can't label everything as a disaster when things don't seem to be working in our favor. One thing we can do is try to figure out what is the lesson or opportunity that difficult times bring. In many cases that is what many people and projects seem to be trying to discover, the opportunities in difficult periods. Right now we are going through an economic winter that is interesting enough to stop and think about and evaluate our plans. I must confess that for my part this cryptowinter has been really difficult, since the Venezuelan economic reality is too complex, and I have had to sell some of my savings in Cryptocurrencies at absurd prices, thus breaking the law of "buy low and sell high" because I ended up selling cheaper than the purchase price.
But this, has made me look at other opportunities, made me think that I should diversify my income, have B plans, and have savings in stablecoins, which I didn't have. I have done a lot of research on to try to discover other opportunities.
That's why I want to mention some avenues that can help so I don't have to break the piggy bank.
There are many Play-to-ern games, it is a matter of you discovering which of the countless gaming projects best suits your needs.
We also have the staked system, or token blockchain. In cryptocurrencies that work with the 'Proof of staked' protocol you will contribute to the processing of transactions if you staked tokens, you will also in turn reduce the amount of tokens available on the market trying to support the project and not let it go down too easily. And that by having tokens locked in this protocol, you will get rewards.
You can look for some Freelancer job, who will pay you in some crypto or stablecoin and all from your home community.
On the other hand there are people who are dedicated to the hunt for Airdrops, looking for platforms that give Cryptos or tokens for free or at low cost. I must confess that in these last two ways I am terrible.
You can also get rewards in Cryptocurrencies by creating content, there are plenty of platforms where you can express yourself the way you want and earn money doing it. We are talking about RRSS 3.0, one of my favorites is Read Cash. Now, the subject of social networks and Blockchain is very broad, there are many platforms where you can get rewards for creating quality content. If you are wondering what they are. Soon I will tell you about the platforms where I have made life, which are the platforms where I create content on a regular basis.

*Cómo ganar Criptos en criptoinvierno*
Todos los traders, o los que nos hacemos llamar criptoentusiastas sabemos que los mercados tienen un comportamiento cíclico, en el cual los periodos alcistas son para vender y los bajistas para acumular, bueno esa es la teoría ya que como todos sabemos la máxima siempre será: "comprar barato y vender caro". Pero, esto de acumular en medio de una crisis inflacionaria es todo un reto.
Sin embargo, no podemos catalogar todo como un desastre cuando parece que las cosas no juegan a nuestro favor. Algo que podemos hacer es intentar descubrir cuál es la enseñanza o la oportunidad que brindan los momentos difíciles. En muchos casos eso es lo que parece que muchas personas y proyectos intentan descubrir, las oportunidades en los periodos difíciles. Ahora mismo atravesamos un invierno económico lo suficientemente interesante como para detenernos a pensar y evaluar nuestros planes. Debo confesar que por mi parte este criptoinvierno ha sido realmente difícil, ya que la realidad económica venezolana es demasiado compleja, y me ha tocado vender algunos de mis ahorros en Criptomonedas en precios absurdos, rompiendo así la ley de "comprar barato y vender caro" porque terminé vendiendo más barato que el precio de compra.
Pero esto, me ha hecho mirar otras oportunidades, me ha hecho pensar que debo diversificar mis ingresos, tener planes B, y tener ahorros en stablecoins, cosa que no tenía. He investigado mucho sobre para intentar descubrir otras oportunidades.
Por eso quiero mencionar algunas vías que pueden ayudar para no tener que romper la alcancía.
Hay muchos juegos Play-to-ern, se trata de que descubras cuál de los incontables proyectos gaming se adapta mejor a tus necesidades.
También tenemos el sistema de staked, o bloqueo de tokens. En Criptomonedas que funcionen con el protocolo de 'Proof of staked' contribuirás en el procesamiento de las transacciones si colocas tokens en staked, también a su vez reducirás la cantidad de tokens disponibles en el mercado intentando apoyar al proyecto y que no se vaya a la baja con mucha facilidad. Y que al tener tokens bloqueados en este protocolo, obtendrás recompensas.
Puedes buscar algún empleo Freelancer, que te pague en alguna cripto o stablecoin y todo desde la comunidad de tu casa.
Por otra parte hay personas que se dedican a la cacería de Airdrops, buscar plataformas que otorguen Criptos o tokens de manera gratuita o a bajo costo. Debo confesar que en estás dos últimas vías soy terrible.
También puedes obtener recompensas en Criptomonedas creando contenido, hay un montón de plataformas donde puedes expresarte de la manera que desees y ganar dinero haciéndolo. Hablamos de RRSS 3.0, una de mis favoritas es Read Cash. Ahora bien, el asunto de las redes sociales y Blockchain es muy amplio, hay muchas plataformas donde puedes obtener recompensas por crear contenido de calidad. Si te estás preguntando cuáles son. Pronto les hablaré de las plataformas donde he hecho vida, cuales son las plataformas donde creo contenido de manera habitual.
**Gracias por tu tiempo**
Blockchain system can transform retailing [ENG-ESP]
As I told you recently, I have started my journey as a bitcoin cash agent, and I am adopting people and businesses to use and accept BCH as a payment method. For that reason I have started to reflect and investigate how blockchain technology can have profound benefits in the retail market, which would be the area I am focusing on.
There are many benefits that blockchain technology can provide to businesses, the first of the benefits at the commercial level is the ability to transact very quickly, at least, with the Bitcoin.com Wallet transactions with the BCH are basically instantaneous. Here in my country, Venezuela, there has been, for years, a devaluation that has caused economic uncertainty and I can say with propriety that cryptocurrencies give more financial security. Therefore, being able to pay for services or products with cryptocurrencies on a daily basis would be fabulous.
Another benefit of blockchain is transparency. Being open source systems, every movement and every transaction is easily observable in the blockchain. Being person-to-person transactions, and not going through any third party, it gives us much more security when making a transaction. With no more information than just the wallet address, the transaction can be made, we take away the stress of having to give a stranger my personal data to make the transaction.
Since everything is virtual, transactions can be made internationally without any inconvenience. For example, if you have a relative on the other side of the world and you want to send money as remittances, or you want to give them a special gift, you can pay in a very easy way without a lot of paperwork. Being a person-to-person payment, and being an open source blockchain, makes this technology almost immune to fraud.
Another benefit that blockchain technology provides us, and especially Bitcoin Cash, is the commitment of the community. Every day a lot of work is done to improve, expand and grow as a community, or at least that is what I perceive here in Latin America. Given the imminent growth of e-commerce, we are promoting the adoption of these new payment methods, trying to minimize all possible obstacles. And thus promoting a whole new horizon of possibilities in commerce.

El sistema Blockchain puede transformar al comercio minorista
Como les comenté hace poco, he comenzado mi camino como agente bitcoin cash, y estoy adoptando personas y comercios a que usen y acepten BCH como método de pago. Por esa razón me he puesto a reflexionar y a investigar como la tecnología blockchain puede tener profundos beneficios en el mercado minorista, que sería como el rubro en el cual me estoy enfocando.
Son muchos los beneficios que la tecnología blockchain puede brindar a los comercios, el primer de los beneficios a nivel comercial es la capacidad de tranzar de manera muy rápida, por lo menos, con la billetera Bitcoin.com Wallet las transacciones con el BCH son básicamente instantáneas. Acá en mi país, Venezuela, ha habido, durante años, una devaluación que ha causado toda una incertidumbre económica y que puedo decir con propiedad las criptomonedas dan más seguridad financiera. Por lo tanto, poder pagar servicios o productos con criptomonedas de manera cotidiana sería algo fabuloso.
Otro de los beneficios que nos brinda la blockchain, es la transparencia. Al ser sistemas de código abierto, todo movimiento y toda transacción es fácilmente observable en la cadena de bloques. Al ser transacciones de persona a persona, y no pasar por ningún tercero, nos da muchas más seguridad al momento de realizar una transacción. Sin más información que solamente la dirección de la billetera, se puede realizar la transacción, nos quitamos la tensión de tener que darle a un desconocido mis datos personales para que realice la transacción.
Al ser todo virtual, las transacciones se pueden hacer de manera internacional sin ningún inconveniente. Por poner un ejemplo, si tienes un familiar al otro lado del mundo y quieres hacerle el envío de dinero como remesas, o quieres obsequiarle un detalle especial, lo puedes pagar de una manera muy fácil sin mucho papeleo. Al ser un pago de persona a persona, y ser una cadena de bloques de código abierto, hace de esta tecnología casi inmune al fraude.
Otro beneficio que la tecnología blockchain nos facilita, y en especial Bitcoin Cash, el compromiso que tiene la comunidad. Cada día se trabaja un montón por mejorar, por expandir y crecer como comunidad, o por lo menos eso es lo que yo percibo acá en Latinoamérica. Ante el inminente crecimiento del comercio electrónico, estamos promoviendo la adopción de estos nuevos métodos de pago, intentando minimizar todos los obstáculos posibles. Y así promover todo un nuevo horizonte de posibilidades en el comercio.
Turn my smartphone into a PC [ENG-ESP]
Today I want to tell you what I have in mind, a small project that has arisen after a need has arisen recently. I am dedicated to the creation of content, not only for this platform, but also for another couple, that is to say that I spend much of my day sitting in front of the PC, writing, reading, researching, watching videos and clearly, also consuming the content of others.
But the time has come to change equipment, since the laptop that accompanies me already has with me about 10 years, so you can imagine how slow it can be, and how limited I am with a machine with an operating system already past, in fact I changed the operating system recently, I had Windows vista, now has Windows seven, this helped to improve performance a little. But, however, right now it is getting too hot, it is very very slow and it is time to change equipment.
Now, I have been looking at the prices of laptops here in the area where I live and right now I do not have the money to buy a good computer, as they are in a price range ranging from 300 USD to 1000 USD depending on the quality of the equipment. But, I noticed that some Chromebook laptops manufactured by Google were coming to the market, low cost compared to other laptops on the market. However, the specs are no better than a smartphone.
At a price of around 100 USD, they seem super affordable, but it turns out that with some tools and accessories we can turn our smartphone into a pc, with better features than these Chromebook. You would only need an OTG cable, which has the ability to connect multiple devices via USB input. In order to be able to project the image of the phone on a monitor with HDMI connection or otherwise to have a screen amplifier, so that way we can make the screen of our smartphone bigger. Also have a wireless keyboard and mouse connected with Bluetooth to the smartphone and have a PC.
Clearly, much cheaper than buying a new laptop, and I could still create content more easily, because what I find comfortable is typing on a PC keyboard, than typing on the small phone keyboard.
Wish me luck in this project, as soon as I succeed, I will be sharing it with you.

**Convertir mi smartphone en una PC**
Hoy quiero comentarles lo que tengo en mente, un pequeño proyecto que ha surgido tras una necesidad se me ha presentado recientemente. Me dedico a la creación de contenido, no solo para esta plataforma, sino también para otro par, es decir que paso mucho rato de mi día sentado frente a la PC, escribiendo, leyendo, investigando, viendo videos y claramente, también consumiendo el contenido de otros.
Pero ha llegado el momento de cambiar de equipo, puesto que la laptop que me acompaña ya tiene conmigo unos 10 años, así que imaginaran lo lenta que puede ser, y lo limitado que estoy con una máquina con un sistema operativo ya pasado, de hecho le cambié el sistema operativo hace poco, tenía el Windows vista, ahora tiene el Windows seven, esto ayudo a que mejorara un poco el rendimiento. Pero, sin embargo, ahora mismo se está calentando demasiado, va muy muy lenta y es momento de cambiar de equipo.
Ahora bien, he estado indagando en los precios de laptops acá por la zona donde vivo y ahora mismo no cuento con el dinero para adquirir un buen equipo, ya que están en un rango de precios que van desde de 300 USD hasta los 1000 USD dependiendo de la calidad del quipo. Pero, observé que estaban llegando al mercado unas Chromebook, unas laptops fabricadas por Google, bajos costos en comparación con las demás laptops del mercado. Sin embargo, las especificaciones no son mejores que un smartphone.
A un precio de al rededor de 100 USD, parecen superaccesibles, pero resulta que con algunas herramientas y accesorios podemos convertir nuestro smartphone en una pc, con mejores características que estas Chromebook. Solo se necesitaría un cable OTG, que posea la capacidad de poder conectar varios dispositivos mediante entrada USB. Para que de ese modo poder proyectar la imagen del teléfono en u monitor con conexión HDMI o en su defecto poder contar con un amplificador de pantalla, así de ese modo poder hacer más grande la pantalla de nuestro smartphone. También contar con un Teclado y mouse inalámbrico conectados con Bluetooth al smartphone y tendría una PC.
Claramente, mucho más económico que comprar una nueva laptop, y podría seguir creando contenido más fácilmente, porque lo que me resulta cómodo es escribir en un teclado de PC, que escribir el pequeño teclado del teléfono.
**Deseenme suerte en este proyecto, apenas lo logre, se los estaré compartiendo.**
Projecting dreams with BCH [ENG-ESP]
I like to think that the pandemic in 2020 had an interesting effect on society, I think it made us realize how fragile we are as human beings, that from one moment to the next we may not be. That existential reflection made me think about what things are really important to me and strive to achieve my goals and in the case of not happening, to be able to have the certainty that I did my best to make it happen, although there are things we can not control, to focus on the things that are under our control.
One of the things that move me most in life is my family, I care that my parents, my brother, my wife are well, that they do not lack anything, and although I feel that sometimes or rather most of the time I do not get it, it is what matters most to me. Now, on the other hand, since the pandemic happened and made us all think about how fragile we are and even more when the virus took a couple of family members.
Note that I want to travel a lot, to know other places both in the country and the world, but not in the usual way, that of flying around and spending a week in a place and coming back home. I find it incredibly attractive to be able to travel with the house on my back, that is to say, to do it in a motorhome.
Now, in my country there is not much motorhome culture, so buying one is kind of complicated, in fact, in my almost 30 years of age, I have only seen a couple of motorhomes. But, I have discovered that there is a possibility to build a very practical, functional and relatively inexpensive motorhome. It involves converting a Wolskvagen van, popularly known as a "Combi or Kombi" into a small motorhome.
Now, I want to travel around the world in a combi, and the best thing is that I solve two problems in one, transportation and housing. At a time when the economy of my country makes it extremely complicated to be able to buy a house. Now, as I intend to plan and build my dreams with BCH, well, it is a matter of planning, on the one hand, the cost of the project and, on the other hand, work to achieve it.
I have studied how much money it would take me to achieve this goal and I estimate around 5,000 USD, to explain it in more detail. With 2,000 USD I could buy a Combi in good condition, with approximately 1,500 USD I would invest in everything related to mechanics and any imperfections it may bring, since we are talking about a car with many years of life, and the other 150 USD I would use to convert the interior of the van into a motorhome. Something like you see in this image:
Something like this I wish to build in the next few years, now, reaching this goal may be possible with the help of cryptocurrencies. Taking advantage of the fact that they are now in a bear market, there is the possibility of acquiring at a good price, hoping that they will go up as time goes by. The historical high of BCH is above 1,500 USD, and today it is around 120 USD, that is, if buying and saving as many BCH as possible today, and that sometime in the near future, BCH will return to its highs, we are talking about an increase of 10 times its current value.
For that reason, I know that cryptos like BCH possess the potential to generate profound and incredible opportunities. I don't know how long it will take for it to take flight into a bull market, but I am confident it will happen, and I am confident in the BitcoinCash community, in the project that is consolidating. And for which, many of us are actively working, even if it is doing small things, everything adds up.
***Do you have any dream you want to fulfill with BCH? Tell me about it in the comments...***
See you next time

**Proyectando los sueños con BCH**
Me gusta pensar que la pandemia en el 2020 tuvo un efecto interesante en la sociedad, creo que nos hizo caer en cuenta de la fragilidad que somos como seres humanos, que de un momento a otro podemos no estar. Esa reflexión existencial me hizo pensar en qué cosas son realmente importantes para mí y esforzarme para alcanzar mis metas y en el caso de no ocurrir, poder tener la certeza que hice lo posible porque eso ocurriera, aunque hay cosas que no podemos controlar, poder enfocarnos en las cosas que si están bajo nuestro control.
De las cosas que más me mueven en la vida es mi familia, me importan que mis padres, mi hermano, mi esposa estén bien, que no les falte nada, y aunque siento que a veces o mejor dicho la mayoría del tiempo no lo consigo, es de lo que más me importa. Ahora bien, por otro lado, desde que ocurrió la pandemia y a todos nos hizo pensar en la fragilidad que somos y más aún cuando el virus se llevó a un par de familiares.
Note que deseo mucho viajar, conocer otros lugares tanto del país como del mundo, pero no del modo habitual, eso de andar en avión y pasar una semana en un sitio y volver a casa. Si no que me resulta increíblemente atractivo poder viajar con la casa a cuestas, es decir, hacerlo en un motorhome.
Ahora bien, en mi país no hay mucha cultura de motorhome, así que eso de comprar uno está como complicado, de hecho, en mis casi 30 años de edad, solo he visto un par de casas rodantes. Pero, he descubierto que hay una posibilidad de construir un motorhome muy práctico, funcional y relativamente económico. Se trata de convertir una furgoneta Wolskvagen, conocidas popularmente como “Combi o Kombi” en una pequeña casa rodante.
Ahora bien, quiero viajar a través del mundo en una combi, y lo mejor es que resuelvo dos problemas en uno, transporte y vivienda. En un momento donde la economía de mi país hace sumamente complicado poder comprar una casa. Ahora bien, como pretendo proyectar y construir mis sueños con BCH, pues, se trata de planificar, por un lado, el coste del proyecto y, por otro lado, trabajar para conseguirlo
He estudiado cuanto dinero me llevaría conseguir este objetivo y estimo que al rededor de unos 5,000 USD, para explicarlo de manera más detallada. Con 2,000 USD podría comprar una Combi en buenas condiciones, con 1,500 USD aproximadamente invertiría, en todo lo referente a mecánica y cualquier imperfecto que pueda traer, ya que estamos hablando de un auto con bastantes años de vida, y los otros 150 USD los usaría para poder convertir el interior de la camioneta en un motorhome. Algo así como lo ven en esta imagen:
Algo así deseo construir en los próximos años, ahora bien, alcanzar esta meta puede ser posible con la ayuda de criptomonedas. Aprovechando que ahora están en un mercado bajista, está la posibilidad de adquirir a buen precio, esperando que suban conforme pase el tiempo. El máximo histórico de BCH está por encima de los 1,500 USD, y hoy está al rededor de los 120 USD, es decir, que si comprar y ahorrar el mayor número de BCH posible hoy, y que en algún momento en un futuro cercano, el BCH vuelva a sus máximos, hablamos de un incremento de 10 veces su valor actual.
Por esa razón, sé que cryptos como BCH poseen el potencial de generar profundas e increíbles oportunidades. No sé cuanto tiempo le tome tomar vuelo hacia un mercado alcista, pero confió que pasará, y confio en la comunidad BitcoinCash, en el proyecto que se está consolidando. Y que por el cual, muchos estamos trabajando de manera activa, aunque sea haciendo cosas pequeñas, todo suma.
**¿Y tú tienes algún sueño que deseas cumplir con BCH? Cuéntame en los comentarios…**
**Hasta la próxima**

My first time out on the street as a Bitcoin Agent [ENG-ESP]
Recently, I told you that I have started my journey with the great group of Bitcoin Cash Latam. So today, together with a colleague who has more time with this team and who does the adoption work in the city where I live, I went out to adopt stores in the city center.
So I must say that I have officially started my outreach and education activities about Bitcoin Cash and about the Bitcoin wallet, and in this opportunity I want to express my first impressions about this work. I feel that many people need to be educated for there to be a real mass adoption, which is what we want, because despite the fact that Venezuela is the South American country where more Bitcoin transactions are made per day, there are many people who think that cryptocurrencies are Ponzi scams or pyramid schemes. Therefore, I think it is essential to start by approaching the person or the establishment from education and let them know that this BCH Latam project proposes to viralize BCH as a payment method on a social level.
Although I can be a little shy, I was not afraid to talk to people in commercial establishments, in the first establishments where my partner and I went, she started and I feel that she has very good performance when communicating the message. I think she has done a great job in the city by adopting hundreds of establishments, I hope that in the coming months many more will join now that we are two people addressing commercial establishments.
We talked about several things and one of them is to start promoting talks and to be able to educate people, show them that cryptocurrencies are not a scam or Ponzi schemes or something pyramidal, but they are real money, in short they are virtual money that proposes a new way of living and thinking the economy thanks to blockchain technology and web3.
Soon I will continue commenting on my experiences and experiences. I hope you are feeling well.

Mi primera salida a la calle como Agente Bitcoin
Recientemente, les comenté que he comenzado mi andar con el grandioso grupo de Bitcoin Cash Latam. Así que hoy junto a una compañera que tiene más tiempo con este equipo y que hace el trabajo de adopción en la ciudad donde vivo, salí a adoptar comercios en el centro de la ciudad.
Así que debo decir que oficialmente he comenzado mis actividades de difusión y educación sobre Bitcoin Cash y sobre la Bitcoin wallet, y en esta oportunidad quiero expresar mis primeras impresiones sobre este trabajo. Siento que hay que educar a muchas personas para que haya una verdadera adopción masiva, que es lo que deseamos, porque a pesar de que Venezuela es el país suramericano donde más transacciones Bitcoin se hacen por día, hay muchas personas que piensan que las criptomonedas son estafas Ponzi o planteamientos piramidales. Por ello, creo que imprescindible comenzar abordando a la persona o al establecimiento desde la educación y hacerle saber que este proyecto de BCH Latam lo que propone es viralizar a nivel social el BCH como método de pago.
Aunque puedo ser un poco tímido, no tenía temor de conversar con las personas de los establecimientos comerciales, en los primeros establecimientos donde fuimos mi compañera y yo, ella comenzó y siento que tiene muy buen desenvolvimiento al momento de comunicar el mensaje. Creo que ha hecho un gran trabajo en la ciudad al adoptar cientos de establecimientos, espero que en los próximos meses se sumen muchos más ahora que somos dos personas abordando establecimientos comerciales.
Conversamos sobre varias cosas y una de ellas es el comenzar a promover conversatorios y poder educar a las personas, mostrarles que las criptomonedas no son una estafa o esquemas Ponzi o algo piramidal, sino que son dinero real, en resumen son el dinero virtual que propone un nuevo modo de vivir y pensar la economía gracias a la tecnología blockchain y la web3.
Pronto les seguiré comentando sobre mis experiencias y vivencias. Espero se encuentren muy bien.
Working for the adoption of BCH in my city [ENG-ESP]
I am happy to share with you today that I am officially a Bitcoin Agent, I have joined the BCHLatam team, a group of people who work educating people to be part of the BCH community, we know that the bitcoin.com wallet is very easy to use and allows you to make transactions quickly, securely, from person to person and has a very low cost per transaction.
Now, the idea is to propose an alternative method for regular transactions, but it is not only about educating people, but also about inviting commercial establishments to adopt BCH payments.
It is about teaching people how to take control of their finances, since wallets like Bitcoin.com allow us to securely safeguard our assets. So we are already taking the first steps as a facilitator and educator about BCH. I am not the first person here in my city, there are a couple of people doing that work for some time and have managed to capture more than 100 commercial establishments, now I join these people who have certainly done an incredible job.
I live in Barquisimeto, the capital of Lara State in the central western region of Venezuela, now, there is a fact that I find extremely interesting and in fact I just found out that Venezuela is the Latin American country with the highest volume of Bitcoin transactions. Here is the data from the Observatorio Económico Latinoaméricano (Latin American Economic Observatory) for April 2022.
I started two years ago in the Blockchain world, and I know firsthand how cryptocurrencies can promote a number of new opportunities and it is not about falling into the illusion that cryptos will enrich us, but it allows us another totally innovative field.
I give my example, I like to write, create content and thanks to platforms like this or Noise, I can express myself and get incentives in BCH. Anyway, wish me luck in this new educational path, I hope to give my best to be able to adopt people and commercial establishments in the use of BCH.
**Yesterday I got the POP material.**
***✓Cards.***
***✓Advertising stickers***
***✓A Flannel***
***✓A cap***
I must confess that this has me excited and I also know it will be quite a challenge. But let's go with all the encouragement, plus I can organize conversational and in the power to not only educate people on the use of bitcoin Wallet, but we can also tell people about these platforms (read.cash and noise.cssh) linked to BCH.

**Trabajando por la adopción de BCH en mi ciudad**
Estoy feliz de compartirles el día de hoy que oficialmente soy un Bitcoin Agents, me he unido al equipo de BCHLatam, un grupo de personas que trabajan educando a las personas para que formen parte de la comunidad BCH, sabemos que la bitcoin.com wallet es muy fácil de usar y que permite hacer transacciones de manera rápida, segura, de persona a persona y que tiene un bajísimo costo por transacción.
Ahora bien, la idea es proponerles un método alternativo de transaccionar de manera habitual, pero no solo se trata de educar a las personas, sino también de invitar a los establecimientos comerciales en la adopción de pagos con BCH.
Se trata de enseñar a personas a qué puede tomar el control de sus finanzas, ya que wallets como la de Bitcoin.com nos permite un resguardo seguro de nuestros activos. Así que ya estamos dando los primeros pasos como un facilitador y educador sobre BCH. No soy la primera persona acá en mi ciudad, hay un par de personas haciendo ese trabajo desde hace algún tiempo y han logrado captar más de 100 establecimientos comerciales, ahora me sumo a estas personas que sin duda han hecho un trabajo increíble.
Vivo en Barquisimeto, la capital del Estado Lara en la región centro occidental de Venezuela, ahora bien, hay un dato que me parece sumamente interesante y que de hecho me he enterado recién es que Venezuela es el país latinoamérico con más volúmen en transacciones con Bitcoin. Acá les dejo el dato por parte de el Observatorio Económico Latinoaméricano, data para abril 2022.
Comencé hace dos años en el mundo Blockchain, y sé de primera mano como las criptomonedas pueden promover un sin número de nuevas oportunidades y no se trata de caer en la ilusión que las criptos nos van a enriquecer, sino que nos permite otro campo totalmente innovador.
Pongo mi ejemplo, me gusta escribir, crear contenido y gracias a plataformas como está o Noise, puedo expresarme y obtener incentivos en BCH. En fin, deseadme suerte en este nuevo camino educativo, espero dar lo mejor de mí para poder adoptar personas y establecimientos comerciales en el uso de BCH.
**Ayer me llegó el material POP**
***✓Tarjetas***
***✓Stickers publicitarios***
***✓Una Franela***
***✓Una gorra***
Debo confesar que esto me tiene emocionado y también sé que será todo un reto. Pero vamos con todos los ánimos, además puedo organizar conversatorio y en el poder no solo educar a las personas en el uso de bitcoin Wallet, sino también podemos hablarles a las personas sobre estás plataformas (read.cash y noise.cssh) vinculadas a BCH.
Is a Wallet and an Exchange the same thing? [ENG-ESP]
If you are starting your way through the crypto world, this may interest you, perhaps what I will say below for people who have a little more cryptographic journey may be something they already understand, but with this article I want to address to people who are just starting or who want to start the path of the new digital economy.
It is true that when we were in high school, it was a problem if we were late to the subject that just caused us a headache, there were concepts already explained or ideas already said, we felt lost, we did not understand anything. This is how it can happen with the cryptographic world, people have been developing a career for years and maybe you, who read me, are not fully aware of it and concepts are slipping through your fingers.
In this opportunity I want to clarify these two concepts, or cryptographic tools of vital importance if we want to develop a cryptographic career. Regardless of the reason why you access cryptocurrencies, you must know what they are. Let's start with the concept of a wallet, which is actually not very different from what we already know as a wallet.
Unlike a traditional wallet, a wallet in the crypto world is a tool that allows me to have stored digital assets, there are two types, cold wallets, are devices (hardware) that store your assets outside the network, making them more secure and reliable. And there are hot wallets that store your cryptos online, making them more prone to attacks. But they are generally very secure, the only thing that could be vulnerable is how the user handles their seed phrase, or security phrase, which is what allows you to access your assets.
Now, there is not much we can say about wallets, unlike the second concept, what is an Exchange? Briefly we can say that it is a platform for exchanges, that is, to be able to exchange one crypto for another, or even transform your cryptos into fiat currency or vice versa. Although in exchanges you can store your assets, it is not really a wallet. Nowadays, many exchanges are centralized platforms and that makes your assets and information not 100% secure. I do not recommend at all to store assets in exchanges, what I can say, is that through these exchange platforms they only handle the money you want to transact with.
There are wallets and exchanges more secure than others, but that is a matter for another time, I just wanted to make clear the differences. Soon I will be giving my opinion about some exchanges and wallets.
See you next time...

¿Es lo mismo una Wallet y una Exchange?
Si estás comenzando tu camino por el mundo cripto, esto te puede interesar, quizá lo que diré a continuación para personas que tengan un poco más de recorrido criptográfico puede ser algo que ya entiendan, pero con este artículo quiero dirigirme a las personas que apenas comienzan o que desean comenzar el camino de la nueva economía digital.
Es cierto que cuando estábamos en secundaria, era un problema si llegábamos tarde a la asignatura que justo nos causaba dolor de cabeza, habían conceptos ya explicados o ideas ya dichas, nos sentíamos perdidos, no entendíamos nada. Así nos puede pasar con el mundo criptográfico, ya hace años que personas han desarrollado una carrera y quizá tú que me lees, no estés del todo enterado y se te escapen conceptos de las manos.
En esta oportunidad quiero esclarecer estos dos conceptos, o herramientas criptográficas de vital importancia si queremos desarrollar una carrera criptográfica. Independientemente del motivo por el cual accedas a las criptomonedas, debes conocer que son. Comencemos con el concepto de billetera, que en realidad no tiene mucha diferencias a lo que ya conocemos por billetera.
A diferencia de una billetera tradicional, una billetera en el mundo cripto es una herramienta que me permite tener almacenado los activos digitales, hay dos tipos, billeteras frías, son dispositivos (hardware) que almacenan tus activos fuera de la red, haciéndolos más seguros y confiables. Y están las billeteras calientes que almacenan tus criptos de manera online, haciéndoles más propensas a ataques. Pero por lo general son muy seguras, lo único que podría ser vulnerable es el cómo el usuario maneje su frase semilla, o frase de seguridad, que es aquello que te permite tener acceso a tus activos.
Ahora bien, no es mucho lo que podamos decir de las billeteras, a diferencias del segundo concepto ¿Que es un Exchange? De manera breve se puede decir que es una plataforma para intercambios, es decir, poder cambiar una cripto por otra, o incluso transformar tus criptos en moneda fiat o visceversa. Aunque en las exchanges puedes almacenar tus activos, no es propiamente una wallets. Hoy por hoy, muchas exchanges son plataformas centralizadas y eso hace que tus activos y tu información no estén 100% seguros. No recomiendo en lo absoluto guardar activos en exchanges, lo que puedo decir, es que a través de estas plataformas de intercambio solo manejan el dinero con el que deseas transaccionar.
Hay wallets y exchanges más seguras que otras, pero eso es asunto de otro momento, solamente quería dejar en claro las diferencias. Pronto estaré dando mi opinión sobre algunas exchanges y wallets.
Hasta la próxima…
Massive adoption of cryptos [ENG-ESP]
It is no secret that since the emergence of Bitcoin digital assets have gained untold ground, having an economic growth like few markets in such a short time, I believe that the exponential growth they have had has been forged for the reason of proposing a whole new way to relate economically, they are also the argument that supports what we now know as web3.
Like any innovation it has its defenders and its detractors, and although every day we come across news of proposed regulatory or prohibitive laws by governments and banking institutions, they are not what is really expressed in the collective spirit. I think the most entrenched aspects of society as we know it today are being shaken by the new crypto proposals.
Figures such as the "trusted third party" or banking institutions, would lose total prominence in a world where the economy is led by economic decentralization. However, I think that out of the universe of people with access to the Internet, not all of them know about cryptocurrencies. There is a certain social stigma and there are still people who think that cryptos are a scam, now, it is not that there cannot be cases of fraud in the crypto world but in any emerging economy there will be people or group of people who will want to take advantage in the most dishonest and vile way. But that's a matter for another conversation. The point is, I feel we need more knowledge, more education about the crypto market and I am not talking about financial education at the level of trading or making large investments, I am talking about understanding the basics of this new technology.
To achieve that, we should first educate on the most basic aspect, understanding how money works, as there is no difference in essence and conceptually what is money and what is a cryptocurrency. What changes, and here is the giant step of cryptos is that, with blockchain technology we give back what the global economic system took away from people, the power to control their money.
The system as we know it, others manage the resources, others safeguard our money, others do things that by delegating that power to them they have too much power over us citizens. Let me explain, let's suppose I have a savings account in fiat money with an APY (annual interest rate) of 3%, in a country where the economy suffers an annual devaluation of 5%. In other words, instead of gaining value, or at least preserving it, having fiat money in a savings account is losing money, it is losing capital. I am not saying that with cryptos you will always make money, there is always a risk. What we gain with cryptos is control and power of decision over our finances, because instead of depositing money in the bank, I can buy some crypto and participate in a DeFi, or simply Holdear some asset, for a few years and be able to generate some profitability.
To show a button, although BTC has suffered an abysmal correction in the last who bought in 2020, when it had a value of less than 10,000USD is still having good dividends, I do not try to give any financial advice, but what I try is to expose that it is inevitable the turn of the economy towards digital and that whether we want or not, society is raising new horizons, new paradigms. And it is necessary to educate people, to remove possible fears and uncertainties that still exist around cryptocurrencies.
Only with education and diffusion of those of us who are in this world, we can help others. I feel that cryptocurrencies can empower many people who perhaps in the traditional economic system were not very well, and not for lack of talent or skills but in the outdated system we know there is no room for everyone, instead in the world of cryptos, which certainly is not perfect, but aims to provide many more possibilities for human development

*Adopción masiva de las criptos*
No es para nadie un secreto que desde el surgimiento de Bitcoin los activos digitales han ganado un terreno indecible, teniendo un crecimiento económico como pocos mercados en tan poco tiempo, creo que el crecimiento exponencial que han tenido se ha forjado por la razón de proponer todo un nuevo modo de relacionarnos económicamente, además son el argumento que sustenta lo que ahora conocemos como web3.
Como toda innovación tiene sus defensores y sus detractores, y aunque cada día nos topemos con noticias de propuestas de leyes regulatorias o prohibitivas por parte de gobiernos e instituciones bancarias no son lo que en verdad se expresa en el espíritu colectivo. Pienso que los aspectos más arraigados de la sociedad tal cual la conocemos hoy en día se están tambaleando gracias a las nuevas propuestas criptos.
Figuras como el “tercero de confianza” o las instituciones bancarias, perderían total protagonismo en un mundo donde la economía esté liderado por la descentralización económica. Ahora bien, pienso que del universo de personas con acceso a internet no todas poseen conocimientos sobre las criptomomendas. Existe cierto estigma social y aun hay personas que piensan que las criptos son una estafa, ahora bien, no es que no pueda presentarse casos de fraude en el mundo criptográfico pero en toda economía emergente saldrán personas o grupo de personas que querrán aprovecharse de la manera más deshonesta y vil. Pero eso es asunto de otra conversación. El punto es, que siento que necesitamos más conocimiento, más educación sobre el cripto mercado y no hablo sobre educación financiera al nivel de operar o hacer grandes inversiones, hablo de entender los conceptos básicos de esta nueva tecnología.
Para lograr eso, primero deberíamos educar en el aspecto más básico, entender cómo funciona el dinero, ya que no hay diferencia en esencia y de manera conceptual lo que es el dinero y lo que es una criptomoneda. Lo que cambia, y he aquí el gigantesco paso de las criptos es que, con la tecnología blockchain devolvemos lo que el sistema económico global le quitó a las personas, el poder de controlar su dinero.
El sistema tal cual los conocemos, otros administran los recursos, otros nos resguardan el dinero, otros hacen cosas que al delegarle esa potestad tienen demasiado poder sobre nosotros los ciudadanos. Me explico, supongamos que tengo una cuenta de ahorros en dinero fiat con un APY (tasa de interés anual) de un 3%, en un país donde la economía sufre una devaluación anual del 5%. Es decir, en vez de ganar valor, o por lo menos conservarlo, tener dinero fiat en una cuenta de ahorro es perder dinero, es perder capital. No estoy diciendo que con las criptos siempre ganarás dinero, siempre hay su riesgo. Lo que ganamos con las criptos es control y poder de decisión sobre nuestras finanzas, ya que en vez de depositar dinero en el banco, puedo comprar alguna cripto y participar de una DeFi, o simplemente Holdear algún activo, por algunos años y poder generar alguna rentabilidad.
Para muestra un botón, a pesar de que BTC haya sufrido una abismal corrección en las últimas quien compró en el año 2020, cuando tenía un valor menor a 10.000USD aún está teniendo buenos dividendos, no intento dar ningún consejo financiero, sino lo que intento es exponer que es inevitable el vuelco de la economía hacia lo digital y que queramos o no, la sociedad está planteando nuevos horizontes, nuevos paradigmas. Y es necesario educar a las personas, para quitar los posibles temores e incertidumbres que aún existen en torno a las criptomonedas.
Solo con educación y difusión de quienes estamos en este mundo, podemos ayudar a los demás. Siento que las criptomonedas pueden empoderar a muchas personas que quizas en el sistema económico tradicional no estaban muy bien, y no por ausencia de talento o destrezas sino que en el caduco sistema que conocemos no hay cabida para todos, en cambio en el mundo de las criptos, que ciertamente no es perfecto, pero pretende brindar muchas más posibilidades de desarrollo humano.

BLOCKCHAINTOPIA (Blockchain utopia) [ENG-ESP]
Every epoch drags with it the burdens of past times, and therefore tries with a certain eagerness to change paradigms and ways of being. Each era proposes to increase the freedom that society and culture confer to human beings. They are not flat roads, they are rough paths, full of mud and sludge, sometimes there are not even outlines of a path, it is all swamp and we must keep moving forward.
If we stop to think a little about all that we drag from the past, we can write down a huge list, but the question is, *where to start?*
I think it is important to know how to plan the beginning, since it will be the most difficult moment and the one that will demand the most attention and strength. And although there is some struggle on several social flanks, Blockchain technology points with frightening and hopeful accuracy to the origin of many problems and no, it is not only to the traditional economic system as we know it. I'm talking about politics.
Politics hasn't changed much in the last 1000 years, maybe it has in form, but not in essence. Democracy and tyranny although distant in definition sometimes in the real world are closely related and feed back on each other. The existence of the suffrage mechanism to express a certain popular will is not synonymous with freedom. True freedom is not to choose among the dishes on a menu, true freedom is to choose what will be written on the menu.
**What does Blockchain propose in the political arena?**
This technology, boasts two indispensable attributes that compose it one is transparency and the other is decentralization. At an economic level they are incredibly revolutionary concepts, at a political level it turns everything upside down. Tell a politician that from tomorrow all transactions will be reflected in real time in an accounting book of free access and domain, anyone can see every financial movement however small it may be, and add to that that any movement of funds must first be approved by the people, and that it will be the same people who will propose social projects of any scope.
It would be interesting to see his face when he sees that it will be like this, well, if he is an honest politician (which there are, but very few) he will feel that from now on politics will change, if he was not an honest politician we will see in his house a lot of anguish. Since undoubtedly, and for nobody it is a secret that in politics there is a lot of corruption, at least in Latin America where I live it is the daily bread.
Now, to think of a blockchain utopia is not so far-fetched, only that to reach that point as a human society in global environments we understand that we are like a big family and that borders are nothing more than inventions that have divided at an incalculable price, since geography has been nothing more than a reason for disputes. I am a dreamer, and I would like to think of a world where there are no more wars, where there are possibilities of well-being for all, where there are the necessary conditions to develop as human beings, and where life is not an expense. Although thinking a blockchain society as we think today in the blockchain has its risks, many in fact. But it is possible that as everything is taking shape and changing as the years go by, and the blockchain today is a prototype of the blockchain of the future.

**VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL**
*BLOCKCHAINTOPÍA (Utopía Blockchain)*
Cada época arrastra consigo lastres de tiempos pasados, y por ello intenta con cierta avidez de ánimo cambiar paradigmas y modos de ser. Cada época plantea aumentar la libertad que la sociedad y cultura le confieren al ser humano. No son caminos llanos, son senderos escabrosos, llenos de fango y lodo, incluso a veces ni siquiera hay esbozos de un sendero, es todo pantano y hay que seguir avanzando.
Si nos detenemos a pensar un poco en todo aquello que arrastramos de tiempos pasados podemos apuntar una enorme lista, ahora bien, la pregunta es *¿Por dónde comenzar?*
Considero importante saber plantear el inicio ya que será el momento más difícil y que más atención y fuerzas exigirá. Y aunque hay cierta lucha por varios flancos sociales, la tecnología Blockchain apunta con una exactitud aterradora y esperanzadora al origen de muchos problemas y no, no es únicamente al sistema económico tradicional como lo conocemos. Hablo de política.
La política no ha cambiado demasiado en los últimos 1000 años, quizá si lo ha hecho en su forma, pero no en esencia. Democracia y tiranía aunque lejanos en definición a veces en el mundo real están muy emparentados y se retroalimentan. Qué exista el mecanismo del sufragio para expresar cierta voluntad popular no es sinónimo de libertad. La verdadera libertad no es escoger entre los platos de un menú, la verdadera libertad es escoger lo que estará escrito en el menú.
¿Qué es lo que Blockchain propone en el ámbito político?
Está tecnología, se jacta de dos atributos indispensables que le componen uno es la transparencia y el otro es la descentralización. A nivel económico son conceptos increíblemente revolucionarios, a nivel político pone todo patas arriba. Dile a un político que a partir del día de mañana todas las transacciones se van a reflejár en tiempo real en un libro contable de libre acceso y dominio, cualquier persona puede ver cada movimiento financiero por más pequeño que este sea, y a eso añade que cualquier movimiento de fondos debe ser aprobado primero por las personas, y que serán las mismas personas las que propondrán proyectos sociales de ámbito cualquiera.
Sería interesante mirar su rostro al ver que será así, bueno de ser un político honesto (que los hay, pero muy pocos) sentirá que a partir de ahora la política cambiara, si no era un político honesto veremos en su casa mucha angustia. Ya que sin duda, y para nadie es un secreto que la en la política hay mucha corrupción, por lo menos en Latinoamérica donde vivo es el pan de cada día.
Ahora bien, pensar una utopía blockchain no es tan descabellado, solo que para llegar a ese punto como sociedad humana en ámbitos globales entendamos que somos como una gran familia y que las fronteras no son más que inventos que han dividido a un precio incalculable, ya que geografía no ha sido más que motivos de disputas. Soy un soñador, y me gustría pensar en un mundo donde ya no hayan guerras, donde haya posibilidades de bienestar para todos, que existan las condiciones necesarias para desarrollarnos como seres humanos, y que la vida no sea un gasto. Aunque pensar una sociedad blockchain tal como pensamos hoy en la blockchain tiene sus riesgos, muchos en realidad. Pero es posible que como todo vaya tomando forma y vaya cambiando conforme pasan los años, y la blockchain hoy sea un prototipo de la blockchain del futuro.

Bitcoin Cash came to fulfill the promise of BTC [ENG-ESP]
If you have not yet read the document where Satoshi Nakamoto exposes to us for the first time the blockchain technology and Bitcoin, you should not wait another minute. If you wish to do so at the end of this article just “click here”. I consider it a document that everyone, absolutely everyone should read. Since it is the document that explains everything we need to know about the cornerstone of cryptocurrency and the entire crypto-market, it is nothing more and nothing less than **Bitcoin (BTC)**. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Being the first cryptocurrency and being the first protocol it had no reference to build the Bitcoin project, so whoever *Satoshi Nakamoto* is he built Bitcoin the best he could with what he could imagine. Then from **BTC** onwards there have been hundreds of cryptocurrencies that have proposed various projects and little by little, over the years the crypto market has been consolidated in the way we know it. However, I believe that among the jungle of crypto-assets only one has fulfilled the original promise made by Bitcoin.
What was that promise?
User-to-user e-money!
It is true that in the beginning bitcoin was fulfilling its promise, but years later the transactions became more expensive and gradually became what it is today, a digital asset to preserve value over time, and thus was abandoning its accessibility and ease for all people, with this I am not condemning Bitcoin, as being an open source and decentralized project users (bitcoiners) were guiding the project to what it is today.
But when that first promise was lost, after a hard fork in mid-2017 Bitcoin Cash was born, becoming a kind of project twinned to bitcoin, but with independence, and returning the look to the promise of being an electronic money of easy access, speed of transaction and low costs in transaction fees. This Bitcoin Cash project has the same decentralization as bitcoin and its code is open. This makes transparency possible because anyone, anywhere in the world with internet access can look at each transaction.
One of the things I love about the crypto world is that it gives us the possibility of being our own bank, thanks to wallets like the one offered by bitcoin.com, in my opinion the best one, which allows us to safeguard our money in a safe way and also to be able to transact in a fast, safe and easy way. If you don't know this wallet, don't worry. In the next few days I will write explaining why I consider this wallet as one of the best.
I do not want to saturate the article with extensive technical explanations about the crypto world, but my intention is to introduce in a concise and precise way in the bitcoin cash world, knowing that it is nothing more than an alternative virtual money, easy to use and fast. Nor do I intend to advise financially, I know well that any cryptocurrency is at the mercy of market volatility, but unlike traditional markets, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash do not suffer from inflation due to the printing of more money as do central banks or as in the case of the market for precious minerals, and certainly when talking about materials we think of gold, and although we know it is scarce, you can always discover more of that mineral, in fact, recently in Uganda have found a place that is estimated to have about 30 million tons of gold. In other words, the supply has increased, and the price will surely go down.
This will not happen with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash because its protocol will only allow the mining of 21 million tokens, in other words there will not be more than 21 million Bitcoin Cash, so that when the token number 21 million is issued the mining will end, but that does not mean that the project will end, far from it, what is estimated is that its value will increase, but this I say is not a fact, it is my speculation. If you got this far thank you for reading, I hope you found it useful and that it was a kind introduction to the Bitcoin Cash world.
**See you next time.**

**VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL**
***El Bitcoin Cash vino a cumplir la promesa del BTC***
Si aún no has leído el documento donde Satoshi Nakamoto nos expone por vez primera la tecnología blockchain y el Bitcoin, no deberías esperar un minuto más. Si deseas hacerlo al terminar este artículo solo tienes que dar “click aquí”. Considero que es un documento que todos, absolutamente todos debemos leer. Ya que es el documento que nos explica todo lo que debemos saber sobre la piedra angular de la criptografía y de todo el cripto-mercado, es nada más y nada menos que **Bitcoin (BTC).** https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Por ser la primera criptomoneda y ser el primer protocolo no tenía ninguna referencia para construir el proyecto Bitcoin, de modo que quien sea *Satoshi Nakamoto* construyó Bitcoin lo mejor que pudo con lo que pudo imaginar. Luego a partir de BTC ha habido cientos de criptomonedas que han propuesto diversos proyectos y poco a poco, con el pasar de los años se ha consolidado el mercado cripto de la manera que lo conocemos. Ahora bien, considero que entre la jungla de cripto-activos solo uno ha cumplido la promesa original hecha por Bitcoin.
¿Cúal ha sido esa promesa?
**¡Dinero electrónico de usuario a usuario!**
Es cierto que en el principio bitcoin venía cumpliendo su promesa, pero años más tarde las transacciones se fueron encareciendo y poco a poco fue convirtiéndose en lo que es hoy, un activo digital para conservar valor en el tiempo, y de ese modo fue abandonando su accesibilidad y facilidad para todas las personas, con esto no estoy condenando a Bitcoin, ya que al ser un proyecto de código abierto y descentralizado los usuarios (bitcoiners) fueron guiando el proyecto a lo que es hoy en día.
Pero al perderse esa primera promesa, tras un hard fork a mediados del año 2017 nace Bitcoin Cash, convirtiéndose en una especie de proyecto hermanado a bitcoin, pero con independencia, y volviendo la mirada a la promesa de ser un dinero electrónico de fácil acceso, rapidez de transacción y bajos costos en las comisiones por transacción. Este proyecto Bitcoin Cash posee de igual modo que bitcoin descentralización y su código es abierto. Cosa que posibilita transparencia ya que cualquier persona, en cualquier parte del mundo con acceso a internet puede mirar cada transacción.
Una de las cosas que me encanta del mundo cripto es que nos da la posibilidad de ser nuestro propio banco, gracias a billeteras como la que nos ofrece bitcoin.com, a mi criterio la mejor nos permite resguardar nuestro dinero de manera segura y además poder transaccionar de manera rápida, segura y fácil. Si no conoces esta billetera, no te preocupes. En los próximos días escribiré explicando el porque considero esta billetera como una de las mejores.
No quiero saturar el artículo con extensas explicaciones técnicas sobre el mundo cripto, sino que mi intención es introducir de manera concisa y precisa en el mundo bitcoin cash, sabiendo que no es más que un dinero virtual alternativo, de fácil uso y rapidez. Tampoco pretendo aconsejar financieramente, sé bien que toda criptodivisa está a merced de la volatilidad del mercado, pero a diferencias de los mercados tradicionales, Bitcoin y Bitcoin Cash no sufren de inflación a causa de la impresión de más dinero como lo hacen los bancos centrales o como el caso del mercado de los minerales preciosos, y sin duda que al hablar de materiales pensamos en el oro, y aunque sepamos que es escaso, siempre se puede descubrir más de ese mineral, de hecho, recientemente en Uganda han encontrado un lugar que estiman posea unos 30 millones de toneladas de oro. Es decir, aumentó la oferta, y seguramente bajará el precio.
Eso no sucederá con Bitcoin ni con Bitcoin Cash ya que su protocolo permitirá solamente el minado de 21 millones de tokens, en otras palabras no habrán más de 21 millones de Bitcoin Cash, de modo que cuando se emita el token numero 21 millones se acabará el minado, pero eso no implica que acabe el proyecto, lejos de eso, lo que se estima es que aumentará su valor, pero, esto que digo no es un hecho de facto, es mi especulación. Si llegaste hasta aquí gracias por leer, espero que te haya sido de utilidad y que haya sido una amable introducción al mundo Bitcoin Cash.
Hasta la próxima.

Proof of story or where Fiat money comes from
When we talk about currency mining we think of two things, on the one hand we can think of the mines of precious materials such as gold, or on the other hand we think of the mining of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, or Bitcoin Cash, but, I ask you when we talk about mining do you think of fiat money?
In the societies we live in, the common people use money without even knowing how money is created, how it is mined, where it comes from. And that is what I want to talk to you about today. Some time ago, the central banks of the countries backed the money issued by the state with precious minerals, but it no longer works that way. The money is backed by itself, the national economy and the confidence placed in that asset.
Now, since fiat money is no longer backed by gold, states have been printing more and more bills, creating debt and inflation. But all money has an undermining process. Although banks are just adding zeros to bank accounts to increase the "value" of their accounts. But they have a certain protocol that I imagine they apply to create more and more money out of nothing.
This is the Proof of story protocol, which is nothing more than having the ability to argue and convince bank agents with proposals to apply for credit and loans. If we have a story that persuades and convinces to obtain a loan, what we are doing is mining money with our proposal, which is nothing more than telling a story. A story of a project, of a vision. And with this protocol we mine money, which will eventually generate more inflation.
Here in Venezuela, where I was born and where I have been living for years, they have implemented a system of subsidies to millions of people, they call it "El sistema Patria" and it is nothing more than through a virtual system where citizens have registered and through this system, eventually every month, they deposit Bonds, which people then deposit in their bank accounts. And these last few years inflation in Venezuela has skyrocketed in an overwhelming way, but I will tell you about that another time. The truth is that, as citizens, we must know where the money comes from and that is what I wanted to promote with this reflection.
But before closing this article, dear reader, I would like you to tell me if you have ever wondered where money comes from. Thank you for reading...

The Satoshi at 1$
As human beings we have the ability to be able to build utopias, to project what we wish for the world of the future, a future that every day becomes present, I think that usually when we talk about cryptocurrencies and blockchain as alternative ways to build the economy of the future we always do it thinking about currencies as a whole.
When we think about cryptos we usually do not think about their cents, we think about their smallest units and both BTC and **BCH** have their smallest units called Satoshis in tribute to the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Now, I ask you, do you know how many satoshis a Bitcoin has, yes, don't you, in case you don't know, don't worry because I will tell you right away but first, I want to make it very clear what a satoshi is, and for that let's do it through an analogy, personally I must say that I like analogies to try to understand things, well, a satoshi is to bitcoin what a penny is to a dollar.
We all know that a dollar has 100 cents, that is nothing more than a dollar can be divided 100 times, and run into the minimum expression of the dollar, a cent (*0.01USD*), now, a bitcoin is divisible by **100,000,000 (one hundred million)** making the minimum expressible amount of **BTC** is **0.00d000001 Satoshi**, in other words a bitcoin contains **100,000,000** (one hundred million) satoshis, obviously the value of satoshi will depend on the value of bitcoin.
At the time of writing this post the BTC has a value of **19,800 USD**, that is to say that the minimum dollar expression **0.01** is equivalent to **0.0000005 BTC**. Now that this matter is a little clearer, I want you to do with me, dear reader, an exercise of imagination.
Imagine for a moment that in the future the value of Bitcoin is such that each satoshi is equivalent to one dollar, i.e. one bitcoin would be equivalent to **100,000,000USD**, it seems like a dream, but who says no? That is why I think that cryptocurrencies are an opportunity to create wealth, and also to be an innovative proposal to think about the economy. I think it is a utopian dream, but, it is all a possibility that dwells as just that, a possibility. I believe that for this to happen, financial education must be encouraged more and the conditions must be created for it to happen.
But that it's not just a **BTC** thing, but that **BCH** can also consolidate into a value high enough for each satoshi to possess great purchasing power. And thinking about it this way what makes me think about the importance of Holdear, obviously this is not financial advice, it's just an exercise in imagination.

Bitcoin is not a currency
Perhaps the first impression you may have had when reading the title of the post was one of confusion or strangeness. How can anyone in this day and age say that BTC is not money? What I really wanted with the title was to get your attention, and now that I have it I want to expose my ideas on why I affirm that BTC is not money.
Let's not stay in denial, but, let's do an exercise of going further. It is true that Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, that is undeniable and undeniable, in fact, my intention has not been to deny BTC as money, but to propose a look beyond the simple understanding of BTC as simple money, which I feel is a vital exercise for many people who do not fully understand BTC.
To talk about BTC we must go back to its origin. In 2009 a white paper was published entitled:
**"Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."**
Written by a certain *Satoshi Nakamoto*, if you have not read it I leave here the link to the document. The truth is that this innovative way of proposing transactions without the need of an intermediary turns out to be more than interesting. And although **BTC** is indeed money, at the same time it is an incredibly innovative technology and has two characteristics that came to revolutionize the way of thinking about the digital economy. ***Bitcoin is a Blockchain, decentralized and open source.*** Being both money, a new data collection technology and accounting sheet. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
In other words, Bitcoin came to propose a new way of thinking about our finances, both in global and personal spheres. It is precisely in the personal sphere that I want to emphasize the most. In the traditional way of conceiving personal finances there is the figure of the Bank as an institution that fulfills several functions, one of them is to be the trusted third party, and on the other hand it is the place where we keep our money, but I ask you, do you really trust banking institutions? There have been incidents in many places in the world where banking institutions have taken advantage of the trust that people have placed in them and have swindled and cheated so many people that I don't know how there are people who still trust banks.
I live in Venezuela because many things tie me to this land, and leaving the country to date has not been an option, but I must confess that the banking institutions of this nation have taken so much advantage of the citizens, also, the inflation of the country has made this economy so chaotic that many people no longer want to have the national currency, but only what is necessary for daily expenses.
Now, returning to the point, Bitcoin tries to propose a system in which we do not need banks, or the figure of a trusted third party, and proposes the non-use of banks and through the Wallets gives the user the power to control their assets, to protect them. But, I feel that many people even in this day and age are not aware enough to be able to take control of their assets in a personal way without the need of a third party.
That is what is really innovative about BTC, which is not just a currency but a whole system that empowers us in a freer and more conscious way. I personally consider myself a crypto-enthusiast because I am understanding more and more all the potential that cryptocurrencies offer us and that there is still a lot to do. I feel that at some point in our future all this will help us build a better world, or so I like to think.

It's time for the strong
I came across a space on twitter administered by the esteemed @MarcDeMesel and although my English is not very good, in fact for me it is too deficient, I was encouraged to participate as a listener for a brief moment since due to various occupations I could not devote much time to listen to it. The truth is that in the first instance the title of the space caught my attention:
***"when the going gets tough, the strong get going"***.
I really liked the phrase, I must admit, we are going through an interesting moment, distressing for many, not less than challenging the panorama that the crypto market presents us at the moment. It is no secret that the "Bear Market" has arrived, and it is not something that will stay a couple of months, but respecting the cycles of BTC, that every pullback in price responds to a cyclical movement, and in the history of the crypto market the past occasions that there have been deep corrections in price has had a development of approximately 50 weeks, and although I have not counted the weeks of this fall I do not think we will reach 50 weeks, that is to say that if it behaves cyclically there is still time left for this correction, so it is possible that the price of **BTC** will still fall a little more, although honestly I do not want it to.
In short, it is a difficult time for movements, trading, and although this is not financial advice the best we can do is to loiter. The truth is that as the phrase that titled the conversation space on twitter says, in difficult times makes strong people take action. We should not remain stagnant, but we have to see how to act and see everything as a possible opportunity.
One of the things that stayed with me from the brief moment I was a listener in the space, has been that, when we believe in a strong project like BCH, regardless of the price of the crypto asset we know that it is backed by great projects and an amazing community. But the phrase applies not only to people but to projects, in hard times strong projects get going. And I know that for BCH there are many people doing great and innovative things.

¡El pobre es pobre porque quiere!
Hay pocas falacias que me causan tanta molestia como esta, resulta que afirmar tal cosa es introducir nuestra mente en un terreno muy ingenuo, por no decir cosas peores. `¿Quién desea ser pobre?`, no creo que salga una persona que quiera serlo, exceptuando prácticas religiosas que hacen votos de pobreza, pero eso es otra cosa. Nadie desea precariedad o escasez, tendemos a querer más, hay algo en nuestra condición humana que nos hace querer más, y en todo ámbito, no nos saciamos con facilidad.
Ahora bien, el querer no tiene nada que ver con la condición socioeconómica en la cual naces, si se tratara de puro querer o a fuerza de deseo no hubiesen pobres. Creo que las personas que afirman *“que el pobre es pobre por que quiere”* ignora la responsabilidad socio-política y cultural de la pobreza. El autoestima es una condición mental, la pobreza no, si fuese así, a fuerza de deseo te reto a que en este momento cierres tus ojos y visualices un bolso lleno de dinero, dinero que hará salir de la pobreza.
No pretendo burlarme de prácticas meditativas, o ejercicios de visualización, sino, lo que intento es develar que el deseo de no ser pobre no es necesario para dejar de serlo. Aunque entiendo que ha y un factor de motivación que importa mucho y tiene cierta validez a la hora de crecer como persona y dar lo mejor de sí cada día, hay factores sociales que tienen un peso enorme y pienso que en lo social recae un 90% de la responsabilidad de las condiciones de posibilidad de las personas.
Y justo en este punto quería llegar al asunto de las condiciones de posibilidad. No todos tenemos las mismas condiciones, ya que gran parte de las condiciones de posibilidad vienen de manera innata, por ejemplo, nivel de educación familiar, lugar de nacimiento, condición social de la región donde he crecido, el nivel y calidad de la educación que he podido recibir, amistades que he podido cultivar a los largo de mis años. Lo cierto es qué, hay condiciones de posibilidad que no dependen de nosotros como individuos y en ellas recae mucho de lo que podemos hacer. Obviamente no es lo único determinante, también hay factores que sí dependen de nosotros. Por ello, una de las frases que me parecen más acertadas ha sido acuñada por el existencialista *Jean Paul Sartre*: ***“una persona es aquello que hace con lo que hicieron de él. ”***
Venimos pre-hechos, nuestra gran labor es a partir de lo ya dado por el ambiente, el contexto en el cual vivimos, partir y transformar nuestra realidad a medida de lo posible. Lo fundamental es hacer consciente que mis condiciones de posibilidad por un lado me imposibilitan de unas cosas, pero me posibilitan otras.
Creo que abandonar ingenuidades de afirmar frases de ***“el pobre es pobre porque quiere”*** porque nos hace tener una percepción errada y sesgada de la realidad, y me parece que es más digno construir cada vez un lenguaje más asertivo e ir deslastrandonos de falacias que nublan nuestra razón. Creo que la política tiene en sus manos los posibles futuros de las naciones, y por lo menos en Latinoamérica y aún más en mi país Venezuela, jamás se ha hecho lo mínimo necesario para ir incrementando las posibilidades de las personas, se ha hecho todo lo contrario y aunque mi país tenga años que no da reporte sobre las cifras de pobreza es indudable que es un índice que ha aumentado con los años, pero cada país posee su realidad y contexto en este asunto, pero en general latinoamérica no es muy dispar en sus índices de pobreza, aunque hay algunos casos donde se nota que hay un esfuerzo por mejorar las condiciones sociales no es algo común.
En mi país han sido las personas que han hecho todo un trabajo en colectivo por mejorar esta realidad, y en los últimos años es notable que han habido cambios para mejor, pero aún queda mucho por hacer, y eso no se logra bajo la premisa de una falacia, sino tras el hacer conciente que hay que trabajar juntos en pro de un cambio, y no es algo individual como la falacia defiende.
Pudiese seguir escribiendo al respecto, pero no quiero extenderme demasiado y no hacer una lectura tediosa. Gracias por leer y por tu tiempo

BCH Price Forecast
It is no secret to anyone that we are going through a Bear Market, that the prices of all crypto assets have dropped like never before, I am not an expert in financial systems, the stock market or cryptocurrencies, I consider myself an enthusiast of cryptos, who thinks that this new economic paradigm comes to revolutionize the world, propose new ways of thinking about the economy and propose an innovative way of wealth distribution.
My intention in this post is to try to outline a scheme of possible prices of BCH according to its own history and the importance of the rest of the crypto market have debeled. I also don't intend to go too far as I don't want to create a false expectation. or err on the side of making a bad prediction, which I must admit I do entirely manually, without following some algorithmic process or deep market analysis, but rather my attempt to predict prices will be somewhat more intuitive. We are already ending the 6th month of the year, so I will try to give an average in which prices may oscillate according to my optics.
I do not wish to be too optimistic or pessimistic, but to try to outline a moderately prudent price curve without being overly ambitious. I want to make it clear that this is not intended as financial advice but as a personal reflection on the price of BCH, and its behavior in the market. I want to dare to propose the next BCH prices on a monthly basis.
**But first I want to say that the prices are an approximate:**
**July:________ 102.50 USD**
**August:_______ 92.00 USD**
**September:___ 86.40 USD**
**October:______ 95.20 USD**
**November:____ 100.00 USD**
**December:_____ 107.50 USD**
I feel that this bear market will be with us for at least a couple of years, I think we should try to make good investments and moves for our finances betting on a prosperous future. And when the bull market arrives, we will be able to reap what we have sown. I even dare to affirm that for the year 2023 the prices will not rise too much, nor will they fall shockingly, I think that the whales will consolidate their wallets in this season. And that by the middle of 2024 the crypto market will have an interesting rise, perhaps it is not a dream to imagine that by that time the BCH will be worth more than 260 USD, which would represent a considerable increase when compared to the current price.
Paying whit BCH My Snack
It turns out that yesterday, Saturday June 25 we had a work meeting, as the work is totally remote there is no office or room for the meeting so we always have to look for a cafe, restaurant, plaza or any place where we can meet and talk.
On this occasion, we agreed and went to a cafe in the east of the city, now, the amazing thing was that I could pay with BCH my snack. A delicious coffee, a cheese bread and a cupcake. Also for a super affordable price.
Snack that has been more than perfect because, the day since early hours had become gray, rainy and cold, so what better than a hot coffee to temper the body. I think I will go more often to this café because paying with Criptos is fabulous. Now, something I was talking with the owner of the local was the ease of using the Bitcoin.com wallet, it is much easier than paying with a usual point of sale. It's just a matter of scanning a QR code and voila, the person-to-person payment is done, and in seconds.
I feel that Blockchain technology in the financial and economic field proposes many interesting things that can solve many current problems, I also believe that there should be more and more commercial establishments that can accept **BCH** as a payment method, I think there are a couple of programs in the city where I live that are responsible for educating people in the world of cryptocurrencies. Hopefully in the not too distant future we will be able to pay with **BCH** for everything we want.
Posibilidades Blockchain
Cada día que que pasa pienso un poco en las oportunidades que la tecnología blockchain nos ofrece, considero que el límite está lejos, aún nos queda mucho por hacer, los seres humanos como una entidad global tenemos la característica de la no satisfacción y eso en parte nos hace explorar nuevos terrenos cada vez, nos da un espíritu aventurero. Desde la creación de **Bitcoin** en 2009 no han dejado de aparecer innovaciones en diversos ámbitos.
Inteligencia artificial, finanzas, educación, derecho, RRSS son algunos de los campos donde la tecnología blockchain ya se encuentra desarrollando todo su potencial. Además de ello, nos propone todo un nuevo horizonte político gracias a la idea de la descentralización y en el aspecto económico en muchos casos viene a proponer un mejoramiento en la distribución de la riqueza. Creo que nos dota de tanta libertad que podemos oír cosas como la *“venta de una escultura invisible como NFT”*. Seguro, si no sabías de este hecho, estes pensando **“¿Como rayos alguien vende una escultura invisible?”**, y es totalmente válida la pregunta.
El nuevo horizonte esbozado desde la tecnología **blockchain**, tiene millones de seguidores y defensores de esta filosofía y por otro lado, claramente tiene sus detractores que intentan desestimar el esfuerzo y la creatividad humana en la búsqueda de proponer nuevos panoramas políticos.
En sentido estricto, las oportunidades que nos ofrecen las criptos son avasallantes, financieramente hablando han propuesto todo un nuevo mercado de activos digitales que han surgido como el movimiento creativo en la implementación de nuevos métodos, por ejemplo, las RRSS; creo que todos conocen las redes sociales tradicionales como You tube, Instagram, twitter, estas responden a lo que podemos llamar web2, ahora bien, gracias a la tecnología blockchain, han surgido una oleada de RRSS criptos, con sus diferencias en forma pero únicas en la propuesta de generar contenido de una manera innovadora, tenemos esta red social llamada read.cash, también noise.cash construidas gracias a la infraestructura de Bitcoin Cash. Pero estas no son las únicas, existen otras llamadas Hive, Blurt, Serey, y seguirán apareciendo más con el pasar del tiempo. A nivel de los videojuegos, en tiempos de pandemia se vivió un vertiginoso auge de los Cripto Juegos, utilizando el concepto del NFT para otorgar valor a sus propuestas. Pero esto son solo dos vertientes de todo el panorama blockchain.
**¿Puedes imaginar un mundo sin bancos? ¿sin abogados? ¿sin estado? ¿sin la política tal cual la conocemos?** Parece una locura, pero, sin duda hacía eso caminamos, como seres humanos tenemos la libertad de reinventarnos en cada época. Recientemente me he enterado que al parecer están trabajando en un smartphone blockchain, en verdad no se nada de qué trata, lo único que sé es que al parecer eses la gente de solana, pero no lo tengo nada claro. No he investigado nada al respecto. Lo cierto es que, el futuro está más cerca de lo que pensamos y que estamos construyendo un nuevo modo de sociedad. Y me gusta pensar que en un futuro el humano tendrá una política descentralizada, claro, esto trae consigo muchos retos y cuestiones a resolver, pero es absolutamente interesante pensar en un futuro blockchain, quizá la misma tecnología blockchain como la conocemos hoy no será la misma dentro de 100 años.
De modo que, considero que hay que apuntar a la utopía aunque sepamos bien que jamás llegaremos a alcanzarla porque allí radica lo de la utopía, es un lugar no alcanzable, pero ese caminar hacia el no lugar puede conducirnos a nuevos horizontes de sentido, de modo que las oportunidades criptos no son más que un intento de apuntar a la utopía, sin siquiera llegar cerca del blanco.

Without financial education, do not invest in cryptocurrencies
There is no doubt that education is always an important factor in life, in any field, even more if we talk about investing our money. Many people have lost money because of not having a financial education and falling into scams or not knowing very well what they are doing with their money. Now, this article is not intended to be a financial advice, but it tries to stand as an enlightening reflection on the nitty-gritty of crypto investments.
No one has said that cryptocurrencies in essence are commercial investment assets, in essence they have been built to propose a new monetary paradigm outside of banking entities. But, time has made cryptos a whole market, with its own stock exchange style dynamism. Making that any person or institution that intends to invest in cryptos needs some basic financial education. So I will mention below, according to my criteria, the minimum necessary to take into account in order to make an investment.
The first thing to do is to investigate well the asset in which you want to invest, do not act by FOMO, investigate which projects endorse and support it. Study the graph that evidences the behavior it has had in the market since its beginnings. After this, we have to make sure we have an emergency fund, we cannot invest our capital without having a backup to rely on in case the worst happens (losing our money). Do not be willing to invest what you are willing to lose, and this seems to me a crucial aspect. Because even if we bet on winning, there is always a possibility of losing all our money, remember that the market is very fluctuating.
Do not invest in any asset by mere fashion, as everyone does it I will do it, remember how dangerous FOMO is. Keep in mind that cryptos are speculative assets, so always keep in mind the law:
"Buy low and sell high".
And at this point, I intend to go back to the beginning of the article, because never, but never, dare to invest in something you don't understand. I know well that terminology such as Blockchain, DeFi, stake, proof of work, stablecoin, altcoins, are not the most friendly if you are a novice in this world, so my emphasis on the study, understand well every aspect of the asset in which you want to invest, and also know as much as possible the market in which you are going to enter, because not every market is the same. So, at the moment of investing, do it with responsibility and solid criteria. The truth is that Cryptos such as BCH offer us a whole new panorama of opportunities to grow, to generate wealth. We are undoubtedly facing a financial revolution. I feel that, wandering in the crypto world, is walking towards the future of finance.
Thanks for reading, and remember this was a personal opinion, not financial advice.
What really bothers me about the Bear Market
In recent weeks there has been a very peculiar movement of the crypto market, it has been going down. In that way has been brewing what is known as the Bear Market, normally this type of market can precede a period of crisis in the market, although it is no secret to anyone that for decades has grown the germ of a financial crisis because of the traditional ways of thinking about the economy, it is time to stop the debt as an engine of wealth generation.
Undoubtedly cryptocurrencies have emerged as an alternative to the problems that are occurring and will precede the traditional market in the future, but not too far in the future. But, as nothing is perfect, we learn as we go along and in this pre-crisis, the crypto market has also suffered. But, we must remember that these events that seem catastrophic because there are large losses of money, are natural market movements.
*Source:* *Binance.com mobile application*
Based on the main maxim of Trading : "Buy low and sell high." the market should not always be up, or what is known as the #BullMarket, otherwise who would buy? that's why the market movement at certain times makes corrections in the price.
If we look at the graphs, I at least brought a couple of screenshots from my Binance account on the graph of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), observing a current price around 120$ USD, when we know that in the history of BCH has reached a few tops over 1500$ USD, and remembering the second maxim of Trading: "The market returns to where it was", means that at some point, BCH may return to increase its value 10 times what the market stipulates today. Now, this is not a financial advice, it is my personal opinion about the current scenario.
*Source:* *Binance.com mobile application*
The truth is that what really bothers me is that the thought of BCH going back above $1000 USD makes it very attractive to buy as many BCH coins as possible right now, but I don't have a penny to do it right now and this is what bothers me the most. Not being able to buy BCH at the moment. For example, today you buy a BCH, you invested 120$USD, and in a matter of 12 months it is positioned above 1200$ USD, we are talking about a profit of more than a thousand dollars, only doing Hold.
This makes me think about the incredible opportunities that cryptos offer us, it is amazing. But as I said, this is not a financial advice, it is my opinion about the current scenario.

An afternoon of Philosophy and Cryptos
Es realmente fabuloso cuando las cosas que te apasionan en la vida se unen. La tarde ha estado llena de criptoconversaciones y temas filosóficos. Mi esposa y yo fuimos invitados a un café en el oriente de la ciudad llamado **“Pastelería Anticafé”** a un conversatorio, evento que trataría sobre Nietzsche, uno de los filósofos que más me ha llamado la atención durante los años de mi carrera universitaria, a esta genialidad del futuro de la vida, hay que sumarle que el café donde nos invitaron es precursor y en la adopción de las criptos, especialmente **Bitcoin Cash (BCH).**
Debido a circunstancias imprevistas fuera de nuestro control, lamentablemente tuvimos que posponer la conversación para otro día. Pero, no nos privamos de pasar un buen rato charlando, comiendo algo rico, esta vez un majestuoso Cinnamon Roll, que como ya habrán deducido, fue pagado con criptomonedas.
Debo confesar que este establecimiento se ha convertido en mi café favorito en la ciudad de Barquisimeto, donde resido actualmente.
Sabemos que el mercado de criptomonedas está en una tendencia bajista, lo que en el comercio llamamos **"mercado** bajista ", ahora, no tome mis siguientes palabras como un consejo financiero, porque no pretenden serlo. Más bien, es mi opinión personal sobre este momento de crisis. Este es el momento de aguantar, de salvar y de resistir. Pero en otro momento les contaré más al respecto.
Roberto Garcia @BCHouseVE, one of the disseminators with a track record of years in promoting crypto adoption in commercial establishments, especially BCH, with his project @BCHouseVE and that I recently had the opportunity to meet thanks to an event soon to be held in the establishment ***"Anticafe Pastisserie".***
It's great to be able to meet people with whom you can talk about the topics you like and are passionate about. I must confess that I am already looking forward to the next philosophical event and I believe that sitting down in the afternoon to have a good coffee and a delicious cinnamon roll and pay for it with BCH is not an expense, it is an investment because this establishment is a super nice place to be for a while, it makes me feel peace, and that is invaluable.
*If you are from the city of Barquisimeto-Venezuela or ever come to this city, do not hesitate to stop by this place. Thank you for your time reading my publication.*
The value of dialogue
There is something very interesting in ancient philosophy is how the dialogue was taking a relevance in the construction of human knowledge, although in the first moment the pre-Socratic philosophers thought in the material principle from the reason it is not until Socrates and the sophists that the dialogue begins to have a great relevance at social level.
On the one hand we must emphasize that thanks to Socrates it could be said that he allowed himself to rebuke citizens, slaves or foreigners, something that must have seemed very curious to the Athenian, because the premise of Socrates was to recognize his ignorance, when confronting a politician, and questioning himself about politics, Socrates never gave a preliminary position, but what he did was to find the gaps in the argumentation and there he went, his task was to reveal the gaps and ignorance of people who affirmed things a priori. In other words, knowledge is built in dialogue, in confrontation of ideas and perspectives.
Questioning the things that we take for granted, that we feel as certain, is a very valuable exercise. Because it would be an interesting exercise of introspection, to question what we think is already said is a vital task, there is always something to unveil, to say, to discover, that is why philosophy is an inexhaustible task. For that reason, it seems to me a vital requirement to be able to recover the dialogue, only thanks to the other, to our fellow man we can self-discover and self-knowledge, and to be able to know oneself is the greatest of wisdoms. And this can only be achieved through dialogue. It is necessary to resume the dialogues, those dialogues that have no productive purpose, but to converse for mere pleasure, for leisure, and much can be said about the word leisure, but we will leave that for another occasion.
**Thank you for reading.**
Is the result what should really matter?
In our daily lives, in our personal or professional projects, we often set a goal, or several goals. We set out to achieve a specific result, we plan to achieve the desired goal, but to what extent does the result to be obtained take precedence over everything else? It seems that what really matters is the goal, and everything revolves around it. So we can be persuaded by the illusion that the result is what should matter most.
Over 2000 years ago Aristotle in his Ethics tells us that preparing to win the Olympics is about more than winning or not winning. For Aristotle, giving the best of ourselves, doing our best and giving everything for the whole is what should matter, because fulfillment is not in reaching the desired goal, it is not in the goal but in the path itself. The walk towards the goal is the fulfillment.
Now, it is important to think about the "areté" (virtue), in the excellence when thinking about achieving a certain goal, and we must keep in mind that we will not get good results if we always try in the same way, it is important to try to understand everything we do when trying to achieve what we want. Because it is not a matter of repeating something just for the sake of it. Let's think again about the Olympics, imagine a specific sport, for example the shot put, it is true that you have to repeat the movement of the throw hundreds of times to perfect it and each time have a more optimal result, but what will make us grow as athletes in this discipline, is to understand every aspect of the technique, to know why I do what I do, because to understand each thing is to be aware of my actions and only then we will achieve excellence.
Now I ask you, have you ever considered that excellence is in the process and not in the final result?
Thank you for reading.

How to get started in philosophy?
Philosophy seems to be one of those disciplines that seems to take many years of reading and having taken a hundred classes at the university to understand those complex philosophical ideas. Far from it, philosophy is not always a tangled mess or complex discourses that seem incomprehensible to people who are not normally interested in philosophy. Today more than ever it seems imperative to be able to understand what philosophy and critical thinking are all about. Philosophy is not complex in itself, but it makes things complex.
In every age, philosophy is one of the most accurate things in the task of understanding why things are the way they are. In fact, etymologically analyzing the word "philosophy" in its Greek origin, it comes to mean something like "love for wisdom" and although this is the most used definition, it will never lose validity. Philosophy is a perpetual curiosity about everything. Therefore, everything can be approached with philosophy, and if what you are looking for is to approach philosophy, not just any book is recommended. Because just as there are complex texts, there are others that serve as an introduction to the whole philosophical world.
So if you want to approach philosophy I will help you by giving you the tips that in my opinion are the most relevant to start in philosophy. But before starting with the tips, you have to understand that philosophy is a discipline that deals with human thought and therefore has historically recorded human thought in a chronological order, so it is always better to start with what we can say are the first steps of philosophy.
**These are the tips to start in philosophy**
**First tip:** Start by approaching the pre-Socratics, the philosophers who founded the philosophical thought and who chronologically lived before Socrates, I am talking about Thales of Miletus, Anaximenes, Anaximander, Parmenides, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Democritus, among others.
**Second tip**: You can read the book "Sophie's World" written by Jostein Gaarder.
**Third tip:** Look for audiovisual content through RRSS such as YouTube, there is a lot of material that helps those who start with philosophy.
**Fourth tip**: Do not start reading philosophy from contemporary authors, as these handle a language that can confuse rather than enlighten.
**Fifth tip:** Look for philosophy textbooks, as these are presented as an introduction to philosophical thought.
With these five tips you can enter the world of philosophy without difficulty, later I will share more material related to philosophy. Thank you for your time reading this post. I hope you find it very useful. If you have any doubt let me know, I will help you as long as I am at my disposal.

My philosophical outreach project: "Stoic Action".
**Hello Read.cash friends, I hope you are doing well and having a great day. I've been busy with some personal and work issues, so I've been short of time to share something that might interest you.**
But I'm back, and I want to talk to you this time about my philosophical outreach project that I called "Stoic Action". I am a student of Philosophy, I have not been able to finish my university career for a couple of reasons, one of them is that I do not have the monetary resources to continue my studies, since I study in a private university, and the second reason is that the office of the university that was located in my city was closed just before the pandemic due to economic and social problems in my country. So finishing my studies with only a couple of semesters to go has been a bit of an uphill struggle, but that is a topic for another time.
*The logo of the project in black background that I made in the design platform Canva.*
The truth is that facing this reality that I have just mentioned, plus another factor that joins it is that I have just turned 28 years old, my third decade is approaching and an economic and social stability is imminent, that I have raised the possibility of starting a personal project with a view to support not only my needs and tastes, but also as far as possible create a source of personal wealth generation in which I can also benefit others, that if, from what I like and I know how to do that is philosophy.
It sounds easy, but I think I'm in a big mess, since philosophy alone does not seem to have a practical or useful purpose in this contemporary society inherited from the criteria of the industrial society, but every day it becomes more and more imperative to turn our gaze towards the humanities and I know that philosophy is a very valuable tool that can help many people in many aspects of life.
Now, philosophy is a millenary compendium of knowledge that is at our disposal to rethink our present in terms of our future, whether in a personal or social sense, but, in contemporary times, inherited from the values and virtues of industrialization that has led to the modern parameters of neo-capitalism, which in itself is not harmful, but when it does not allow a self-critical attitude and closes to rethink itself as a system, has caused in people certain values of judgment that if not reviewed and rethought, many can be terribly harmful to mental and emotional health.
I believe that there has not been a time in history where there is so much talk about happiness and it is so unattainable under modern standards, we are in the paradox of well-being, or so I like to call this phenomenon that basically could be summarized as:
"The pursuit of happiness breeds unhappiness".
*The project logo in white background that I made in the design platform Canva.com.*
My project "Stoic Action" is nothing more than a proposal of philosophical diffusion that seeks to make people aware, to awaken them from social naivety, that not everything is rosy, and to erase the great, or rather, the enormous sense of guilt that dwells in society today. My main objective is to propose a healthy positivity and not like the unhealthy positivity badly called by many positivism. That the only thing it does is to increase the feeling of guilt.
To give an example, many companies prefer to pay motivational talks to their employees, than to raise their salaries. Talks that basically what they say is, give the best of you, smile and if you are bad it's your fault, and not because you can't make ends meet.
So my project of philosophical dissemination aims to be a breath of fresh air, a breath of oxygen, today more than ever in philosophy, critical thinking is indispensable to live in this world.
**How do I plan to do it?**
Actually, the first thing is to make a presence in centralized and decentralized social networks, for now, I only have accounts on Instagram and Twitter although I have only posted some things on IG, even in other networks I have not ventured.
As a second step, having the attention of some people in social networks, start an informative podcast and that people begin to familiarize themselves with the ideas that will be proposed.
**The third step is to propose workshops, online classes on elements of philosophy.**
The fourth is to publicize a method of philosophical accompaniment, without pretending to be a therapy or something like that, what is sought is personal advice, perhaps group and discuss not only the problems but also possible solutions.
Why the name "Stoic Action"?
Many names went through my mind at the time of thinking the project, I thought of philosophypop but it did not convince me at all, also, I thought of others but, actually, none seemed to me as appropriate as "Stoic Action", because it refers to Stoicism.
What is Stoicism?
It is a philosophical discipline that pursues the imperturbability of the soul, it is a contemporary language, it promotes the search for a state of tranquility, of no stress. It does not speak of happiness because it is somewhat delicate. Stoicism proposes the control of emotions from certain habits and daily exercises, with which we learn to focus on things we can control and not be affected by things that are beyond our control. This could be a somewhat minimalist summary, but it tries to capture the essence of Stoicism, as a philosophy of life that originated more than 2000 years ago in ancient Greece.
But later I will tell you more about what this philosophy of life itself consists of. For now, I wanted to tell you about my project, my company around the philosophy. A project that has stages, in the short, medium, and long term.
**-In the short term: to make myself known through social networks, to begin to make a presence and get noticed.**
**-In the medium term: To accumulate a critical mass of people who can not only nurture the project, but who can also be spokespersons for it, and make this project known to others.**
**-Long term: That the project is sustainable, that it can not only generate income to live peacefully with the different areas that will compose it, but also and even more important that it can help many people, and that the philosophy can change the ways of thinking in this society.**
For now I am focusing on outlining more and more the essential aspects of the project, such as what social network can be more visible, what kind of podcast to propose, and what classes or workshops I could give, and of course, think about the how to make money on this project. Because it would be making money doing what I like, philosophy and helping others.
So if you have any suggestions or criticisms do not hesitate to leave them in the comments, always with respect, your words will be well received.
Thanks for reading and visiting my blog.
*See you next time! ;)*
