Cardano: Mission Africa The Cardano network from 03/31/2021, starting from Epoch 257 is completely decentralized by the production of validation blocks, now fully validated by user pools and there is no longer the presence of IOHK nodes, and the parameter d=0 is now final. A process started on 29 July 2020 with the Hard Fork from Byron to Shelley and after 256 eras, about 8 months, the migration is perfectly successfully completed and now Cardano is among the few…

Cub Finance: A pleasant feeling After a couple of weeks of tweaking a bit on CUB Finance, the pleasant feeling of satisfaction one feels in watching your capital grow at different rates, obviously proportional to the investment that has been decided to block in the farms or dens, is undeniable. . Thinking aloud, which financial instrument today guarantees you such a high return on capital but above all so visible to your eyes? The financial packages that banks or agencies…
SmartBCH: Bitcoin Cash's first step in DeFi The explosion of DeFi has incentivized many blockchains and projects to focus on it, aware of the immense amount of capital circulating as Ethereum demonstrated in the second half of 2020. However, given the weaknesses of Ethereum such as scalability and high fees, blockchain as that of Binance has created a sidechain like BSC in order to significantly improve the user experience, a fully successful experiment given the huge amount…
Coinbase will be listed on the Nasdaq from April 14th April 14 is an important date for the whole crypto world: Coinbase will officially enter the big world finance and will be listed on the Nasdaq. It is a truly incredible new milestone achieved because it formalizes, even for those who are skeptical, that cryptocurrencies are not a speculative bubble but are recognized as financial shares, as well as the large companies listed on the American stock exchange. Coinbase was…
What bullish phase of the market are we in? The bull run cycle began in November with the price of Bitcoin starting a devastating rise in price, thanks to the push of institutional investors, and today the price is around 60,000 dollars. After a few weeks, the bull run has also pushed for all the other altcoins that have recorded incredible returns, some even touching 1000% compared to the end of 2020. Many are wondering how long the bullish phase can last and if the time…
George, Cuteness Overload I exclaimed my Super Cute when my brother sent me a picture of his on Easter Sunday while he was in his backyard enjoying a beautiful and warm spring sunshine. His name is George, he is six years old, and he is a specimen of a Bernese Shepherd, a large breed but he is really very very tender. It is a large mountain of colored fur, a black coat that dominates its entire body a little but the white and light brown colors alternate on the muzzle, chest…
Bullish Market: Be careful! Many enter the crypto world with a single purpose: to make money and make it fast. So they invest money simply by going to Coinmarketcap or Coingeko, see the list of the coins that have performed the most on the market in the last 7 days or in the last 24 hours and then wait for their wallet to increase to double within 24/48 hours. If this does not happen or there is a slight loss, then the user sells everything and invests in a new project,…
Movie Review: 7 minutes *7 minutes, Michele Placido, 2016* The social issues of the female working class, the rights to be defended at any cost (but what cost and to what extent?), The responsibility of individuals in favor of groups. The collective actions that make the great giants tremble, the system that does not exist because it is the sum of the individualities. Inspired by true facts, Stefano Massini's screenplay in Michele Placido's film (before that, a theatrical…
Big Fish: An extravagant but intense movie *Tim Burton is Tim Burton*. One signature, one genre. Stories always halfway between dark tones and technicolor, reality and fantasy, life and dream. Realistic fairy tales or fantastic realities, if you prefer, Burton's 'tales' always have a bittersweet aftertaste, capable of making you smile and move at the same time. **Big Fish** does not contradict itself. Already the poster brings to mind both the tree of life and that of an…
Between work stress and secret dreams Fortunately, today is Thursday, one more day of work and then the weekend begins, I need leave but at the moment it is not possible because in my sector, customer care for gas and electricity companies, it is still a period full of assistance calls, unpaid invoices, overlapping practices, general slowdowns due to the covid. I am absolutely aware of being lucky to have a job, especially in this period, and in fact mine is just an outlet,…
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter There could not have been a hand of Tim Burton in this historical-action-fantasy-horror film! Needless to say, we all know that history never goes to length as the books tell us and that the men who wrote it before being heroes were above all men, in fact. Each with their own fears, their own vendettas and their own unfinished business. Everyone still lives and writes their own story beyond what the books will later decide to remember. This…
The Counselor: You are never safe with the mafia McCarthy's apocalypse is all intimistic and human. Greed and corruption lead man to an inevitable point of no return which corresponds to total and complete psychological self-destruction, first and then physically. The breaking down of all moral limits creates infinite spaces of solitude in which it becomes almost impossible not to get lost permanently. No return, no redemption, because the evil worlds can only be…
Blackhat: a mediocre narrative Yesterday, scrolling through the list of films on Netflix, I was intrigued by the movie Blackhat starring Chris Hemsworth, the Thor from the Marvel series. After seeing the trailer, although it did not inspire me much, I decided to trust the actor, who however I always liked in the role of the superhero but I have not seen many other films with Hemsworth and so I pressed the play button. The plot tells of a series of cyber attacks that…
A Noeh never seen before Interpreting and 're-reading' the Bible is always a dangerous business, even for an expert exegete. If it is a film director who does it, then the subject becomes decidedly dangerous. Aronofsky, however, is not a novice. To reduce the percentages of risk, not only does it 'field' a technical and artistic cast whose members almost all have an Academy award or nomination in common, but chooses - wisely - to tell the all-human conflict of Noah, rather…
Arrival: Are aliens our friends or enemies? As a film buff I have seen a lot of films about aliens and few are the ones I liked: mostly extraterrestrial beings are seen as enemies who have the aim of destroying the human race or conquering our planet. A different film on the alien theme is **Arrival** by *Denis Villeneuve*, released in theaters in 2016 and found a good success with international critics. The Earth is suddenly invaded by 12 alien spaceships, called shells,…
Rambo I: A cult of the 80's action movies An icon of American filmography and one of the most beautiful and representative films of Silvester Stallone, Rambo is one of those films that I would continue to see in loop and has a much deeper meaning than a simple action film. The war in Vietnam destroyed thousands of human lives and those who returned from the war brought with them the horrors they experienced. John Rambo is a veteran of the Vietnam war, together with a group…
Suicide Squad: A super team Join metahumans of the worst kind to form an incredible team of super heroes against future potential attacks on mankind. This is initially the goal of government agent Amanda Waller, following the death of Superman, and fearing that the world could be attacked by an entity difficult to counter with ordinary firearms. The team is called Suicide Squad, a name chosen by a member of the group, Boomerang, as their first mission is definitely…
Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin **Why did Satoshi Nakamoto create Bitcoin and the blockchain?** This question is fundamental because it must remind us of the primary objective, namely to create a free P2P payment system between people, that is, without the intermediary represented by the bank or by an institution that represents it. If we look at what Bitcoin has become today then the project has failed as the currency in the hands of centralized institutions is against all…
Neverending Story: A children's movie masterpiece The Neverending Story is a fantastic tale written by the German Michael Ende and first published on September 01, 1979, 41 years ago. The book was a great success among young readers and was also treated a film released in 1984, becoming a cult of the 80s, still much loved and appreciated by young fans and old nostalgics of 80s filmography. I personally saw only the first film, in total there are 3, and it left me really…
Two distant strangers: A sad racist story The time loop of a young black man killed by a white policeman in New York every day for a hundred days is a loop in the history of mankind. A circle of hell, a stain, a shame. There shouldn't be a need to shout out Black Lives Matter, all lives should count regardless. But racism is a disorder, a disease, a deficiency dictated by ignorance. Ignorance of the other, fueled by prejudice and lies. Could the dialogue, the meeting, the…
The Goonies: An adventure in search of treasure! ***Woe to you intruders, burning pains and death, soaked in blood await those who will take possession of this map*** For those who are fond of American filmography of the 80s and specifically in the films that marked our childhood, they already know which cult I am talking about and, if you are passionate about it, also of which scene. Well I love the film The Goonies, a cinematographic work that bears the signature of Steven…
Commando: Schwarzenegger the unstoppable If you are a fan of Schwarzenegger and 80s-90s action films, well maybe this review will probably be superfluous because you will know this film in depth. I recently watched the TV movie on a national network which also shows 80s cult films every Monday. I don't exaggerate if I admit I've seen it a hundred times in my life, and mine is an estimate by default. After Predator, Act of Force and Terminator, it is Arnold's favorite film.…
Music4Life launches the VFTLAB on Hive Yesterday it was launched by MusicForLife's VFTLAB, a platform that is aesthetically very reminiscent of the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap or Cubfinance and in fact has some very similar characteristics. In fact, by depositing some HE tokens, obviously including VIBES and HIVE, it is possible to earn a certain number of VFT tokens, useful for the purchase of NFTs on AtomicHub. NFTs are really very attractive and are experiencing…
Patriot Games: Harrison Ford never deceives Scrolling through the list of films on Netflix, I found a film that I have never seen, Giochi di Potere, with Harrison Ford as the protagonist, produced in 1992. Very beautiful and intense film that I would like to talk about today. Plot Jack Ryan is a retired former CIA agent and during a vacation with his family witnesses a terrorist attack on Irish Secretary of State Lord William Holmes, and instinctively helps to thwart the…
The setting sun: my charge of energy The most relaxing thing there can be is to admire the setting sun, comfortably seated on an armchair on the balcony of your home. For several days the sky is always gray and the weather is gloomy but I finally managed to capture the sun in its waning phase, a ball of fire that slowly disappears on the horizon, almost shyly, in all its splendor. The warm colors are particularly intense: shades of red, orange and intense yellow radiate the…
Carnival Row: A TV series not to be missed Carnival Row is a TV series produced by Amazon Prime whose protagonists are Orlando Bloom, in the role of police inspector, and Cara Delevingne in the role of a winged creature, called a fairy. The two worlds, although so different, coexist in a nineteenth-century city, in which the difficulties of interaction between the different peoples that live there emerge. The inspector Rycroft Philostrate arrives in the city to support the…
The Father: Nothing is as it seems The transience of the leaves in autumn, the life that peels and crumbles. The shattered memories. The faces, the stories, the overlapping, confused spaces. The blurred and blurred borders. The identity lost in the same Low Mist of the Einaudi track that serves as the main theme, the fog in the mind that obscures everything. Oh nuit enchanteresse Divin ravissement Oh charming souvenir Folle ivresse, doux reve! Bizet sings, in the desperate…
Cheesrolling: A weird sport! The sports world is made up of many disciplines that thrill billions of people. But more and more new disciplines are born out of nowhere and thrill a certain multitude of individuals who participate in events more or less known locally and beyond. Surely an anomalous sport by classical conception is cheesrolling, a strange discipline born in England and which annually collects a fair number of participants. Cheesrolling requires participants to…
Promising young woman - Emerald Fennell, 2020 Those who go away do not die but those who are forgotten. A rape that took place years earlier, before the era of social media. A girl dies. The culprits acquitted. The life that starts again for everyone, except for those who do not give up, for her best friend. Why forget or downsize ie kill it again, again and again. Revenge is a witty plan of private justice, perpetrated for years and with a wider echo than expected. We start…
What change will Hive make for success? Originality and Marketing It is a good question that @themarkymark wrote in his post and whose answer is simple: users. The success of a project depends on the quality of the product and above all on the number of users that the community manages to attract to itself. And how can we attract more people to HIVE? Marketing. **Think Different** You may remember a spot launched by Steve Jobs to advertise Apple in the late 90s entitled…
Cardano Africa: First partnership with Etiopia In the crypto world today there is really a lot of speculation: projects that are potentially very interesting, but to date have not yet found space in real life. Cardano officially presented the collaboration with the government of Ethiopia, thus launching the company's program in favor of the African continent. Cardano created a blockchain-based national student and teacher registration system to digitally verify grades,…
[Movie Review] Saving Mr. Banks Saving Mr. Banks is a film produced by Walt Disney and narrates the difficult evolution between Walt Disney and Pamela Lyndon Travers, writer and author of the novel by Mary Poppins. Unlike what one might think, the rapprochement between the two authors has been difficult and very long, about 20 years of courtship by Walt Disney. Pamela has been the author of many books in the past but today, after a long absence from the publishing world, she…
Power Down Considerations I have my own personal way of seeing things and therefore consider this post as my argument aloud, it is not referred to any user in particular. We have been on Hive for a long time, more or less we all know each other and it is always a great pleasure to read how things are evolving quickly in the crypto world and how many opportunities for growth will be in the future. Most of my HP has been earned over the years by writing posts, participating in…
[Movie Review] The Fellowship of the Ring The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy taken from the beautiful books of J.R.R.Tolkien, an English writer, in love with Anglo-Saxon literature and the stories of English mythology, author of the most read and translated work in the world. The Fellowship of the Ring: Storyline The narration begins with the summary of past events. The Dark Lord Sauron created several rings of power which he distributed to the kings of men and elves; all…
The Sword in the Stone: a Disney Classic Cartoon Movie The Sword in the Stone is a Disney cartoon, produced in the 60s but it certainly remains among the Disney movies that I love the most. It is a story that fits very well with the Christmas period and in fact it is often released by the national network just in December. The story tells of a precious sword, which appeared suddenly in the rock, and of magical writings in which he will proclaim king who will succeed in…
