R.E.P. : Russian Expressions & Proverbs
*I would like to start a series of sharing Russian Expressions & Proverbs.*
Since I live in Russia, and I'm half Russian, I know a lot about Russian culture. I studied here at school 4 years, then let it to Algeria where I lived 12 years, and comeback here again to study at the University, then get married, and now I have a four-year-old son.
So, of course I know a lot about the culture and I like so many expressions and proverbs. That give me the opportunity to always share a good proverb or an expression, translate it, and write about what I understand about it.
**So, today's proverb is :**
«Семь раз отмерь, один раз отрежь»
*That means : ''"Seven times measure cut once".*
I think that's clear and maybe something similar is in other languages. And of course, we have always to think twice before doing something. Because sometimes we may regret a lot of doing that.
*I think the meaning is clear. And I'll be sharing more in the future.* ☺
**Learning a culture, is learning how to be a better human !**
That's why I love languages.
Fear is never the solution !
*The fear is just a feeling created inside us. In fact, it doesn't exist !*
We often fear something or someone. Especially with all the censorship is going and the disinformation spread.
I mean living in fear doesn't change something. It may even slow down our progress. And decrease our energy.
But when we get rid of fear, we can do the impossible. Look at traders for example, who are not afraid to lose money if they lose a trade. Look at investors how they risk their money in sometimes really strange projects. Even if they lose it all, they may learn a big lesson from that. Look at businessmen who create so many businesses, knowing that one of them will be for sure successful. They are not afraid to lose it. Not afraid to try !
Even the bear market we have, that's for sure temporary. The financial crisis. The events in the world. What may put us in a state of the fear of the unknown. Because we don't know the outcome of this for sure. And by the fear, we will not solve those issues. It's better to start finding solutions right away. Enough of spreading fear. Enough of talking about problems while we should talk about solutions.
*I'm really proud of people who leave their fear behind, and just do what they planned to do.*
**We should all have a business state of mind.**
Calm and unbreakable !
How to protect yourself from losing it in crypto !
*A lot of us are so long in crypto, but we still sometimes panic when the market is crushing.*
So, today I was thinking about the best way to protect ourselves from depression, or disappointments from our investment. Of course even this idea could be risky, but it's still better than just holding everything and seeing how our portfolio is bleeding.
***The idea is to always trade what we have.***
Of course keeping our money in exchanges is not that safe, but at least we can choose the most decentralized ones. For example, I trade in bisq.network recently. It's a p2p trading service. But still I hold some crypto, so I diversify that way.
**Here is why trading could protect us from losing it :**
*Here we can take two scenarios for comparison :*
The first is someone holding it.
The second is someone trading it.
Let's suppose someone holding 0.1 bitcoin. So, his/her portfolio may go from $4k to $3k because bitcoin lost $10k in value.
But in case someone always trades those 0.1 bitcoin, and doing well and turning that to 0.2 during the time. He/she will get $6k even if bitcoin price went down with $10k.
*This is the reason why I don't like to trade crypto via USD or any other fiat.*
I even had a friend who trusted me with some bitcoin and when I sent that to him after years, he was happy about my results. ☺
**So, guys ! Don't worry that much about such dumps, because you'll mostly win if you have such strategy.**
But after all, you can do it your way.
I'm not an investment advisor.
Relations last forever !
*When social media were created we started to connect with people from all around the world.*
Of course, with that we start to build relations with people. Some of them still strong and unbreakable, but some people we just lost in this huge web. There is even a theory comparing the web to the real one where insects get stuck. And we see ourselves really suck on the web and forgetting about our real life. But we should be always aware of what we're doing, and don't be that addicted to it.
Of course, I understand how interesting and enjoyable are those social media. Because mostly we like to connect with others. And of course we consume a lot of information there. But we should always keep in mind, that those social media can change. Depending on people and what they want from them, depending on the owners, and could be other aspects. So, sometimes we lose people, just because we didn't follow them, we forget to subscribe, or just they don't like us, or we don't like them.
*The thing I would like to say, that no matter what will happen to the social media itself, that shouldn't affect the relation of people.*
**So, we should think twice before we break the relation with someone.**
The platform could change, but relations last forever !
Why I don't care about bitcoin price that much !
*Bitcoin is going down recently. It may hit $30k or less.*
**But should we be worried about that ?**
I don't think so. Because that's how bitcoin always acted. And it's good when there are people who remind us about the history of bitcoin. Even if those are only about 13 years, I consider bitcoin entered the history. It shifted the world in terms of affecting the financial system. No matter how it was created, by whom or with which purpose, it played a positive role. Because it showed to all the world that anyone is able to create a currency. It showed that we can be fully decentralized or at least close to that. It showed the world that people can work together to achieve really great results.
Because thanks to bitcoin, all other cryptocurrencies were created. Thanks to it, we are all posting here, earning from that, connecting and shifting the world for the better. I'm sure that all crypto community has a big effect on what's going on in the world. Only a few years ago we were all writing about mass adoption, and here is it. I see this started for so long time. And bitcoin is the father of all this. That's why for me the price of bitcoin is valuable not in dollar price, but in the use case, the example and the motivation that gave to other cryptocurrencies to be created and supported.
*After all during the years we all see how the price down and up, but generally it has an up trending if talking about the long term.*
**So, I see what's going on, is just another dump by those who want to make money, so they're going to dump it the maximum, then when they see people ready to buy a lot, they will pump it again.**
I feel that after each dump there will be another pump.
We may see bitcoin $100k soon.
Losing relatives is like losing a part of ourselves !
*Yesterday I lost a 77 years old man from my family.*
He was really a good man, and he was helping everyone all the time. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters. He helped all of them to become valuable members of society. One of them worked in my university, the other one made glasses for me, and the third one get married of my sister. That's how we become relatives.
But since I'm living in another county and the man wasn't active in social media, so I didn't have the chance to be in touch with him. But I remember the advices he gave me about friendship when I had some misunderstanding with his son. He told me once, that in the relationships, always someone has to do more than the other. And I still remember him all the time when thinking about relationships.
*I feel that we value some people more when we lost them.*
**Maybe that's one of the reason why people don't live forever.**
I wish him peace in the other world if it exists.
I reached 100 followers in readcash, I'm really thankful to this community. And to celebrate that, please share your smartBCH addresses, so I'll send you some DCC token and try to make the community active again !
My 2 dollars weren't accepted !
*This is a real story I would like to share, for everyone to understand what's a dollar.*
Maybe you may tell me that could happen only in Russia, but I think that could happen anywhere. So, I live in Russia for almost 12 years. I've got married here, and I have a little son. I understand what happened to this country for years. And what exactly all people here went through. From the Soviet Union, to the collapse in 90s, and the mess people had to go through here, when the police didn't work for years, but only organized groups dictated their rules. Then all the country was taken over by one political party that was winning all the time, if you are getting it how. Then the time of strict sanctions, where Russians are restricted from so many worldwide services. And those restrictions are implemented on citizens only, not those who are responsible for the war. How losing a million for a billionaire can affect him/her ? But losing a few dollars could harm someone who's barely surviving.
Anyway, that was a pre-history of a Russian citizen, who's not even Russian, but an Algerian who immigrated for a better life. But I've got what I get. So, recently knowing about how the Russian government works, we decided to invest with my wife in dollar. I mean the previous year. So, we bought about $1000 in cash and kept it for the future, thinking that the price of dollar will go higher from 73 roubles to more. And just like I expected it turned to almost 140 rouble when the war just started. We didn't sell, because we heard about a default coming. We were afraid to buy roubles and those money could go worthless. So, we decided to keep them till we see a better price. But since all my fiat money finished, I had to start selling to not touch the crypto I have. I had exactly $1052. Because that $52 I bought from a Lebanon client when I was working as an interpreter about a year ago.
**So, here we come to the most interest part of the story.**
About 10 days ago, I decided to sell $252 to have some roubles and leave those $800 for after. I went to the bank. And the first interesting thing, she said that I'll need to pay a commission for a bank to exchange them. From my understanding, it's like a protection to not let people sell little amounts, but at least to sell $300, so that will be without any commission. I wanted hard to keep those $800, that's why I decided to pay the commission. That was about $5. But, that's not the most interesting part. She said, I mean the cashier, that they will not accept those $2. I asked her, why ? She said, the central bank prohibited us to accept that money. So, I couldn't even use those $2 to pay that commission. But, I had to pay that from the money I earned during the year. So, if I bought $250 for 73 roubles, and sold them for 80. That means I earned in this case 1750 roubles. That's about $21. And I had to give $5 commission. That's $16. Not that bad if those were much bigger money. But still, why I have to give them those $5, I don't understand !
Anyway, the most pity thing is that they didn't accept those $2. While I was keeping them all the time in a safe place, and they are not torn or something. In a very good form. All the numbers are clear. I mean that's real money. Why would a central bank that collaborate with the Federal Reserve not accept those dollars. Why they print them so.
*It's interesting to see the money people are fighting for all the time, worthless. Just a paper !*
**I was so mad after this situation and when we went to a picnic with my wife, I wanted to burn them. But my wife didn't let me do so. She is kind of learning about spiritism, and she told me that's bad to do. Anyway, I didn't burn them. At least this story will bring me more than $2 if I'll share it in decentralized social media. ☺**
**As you see, it's another reason to promote crypto. Someday they will not accept $20. Then $50, then even $100 will be worthless.**
Anyway, I see them canceling all fiat money in the next few years.
CBDC is coming. But crypto is here to stay !
Here we go with the ''Ministry of Truth''
*I was watching videos on odysee.com and a video titled : ''Joe Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’'' caught my attention.*
The video was done as a reaction to this article : Joe Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/3472878-joe-bidens-ministry-of-truth/
So, I started to do my own research, and I found Disinformation Governance Board really existing. You can read about that on Wikipedia. It was created April 27, 2022. So, it's done to protect the country from disinformation. It's like politicians always say the truth. Or the paid mass media. I see. That's the democracy they always talk about. I thought democracy includes freedom of speech and the lack of censorship. Anyway, people seem to be punished soon for saying anything that will not align to the opinion of authorities. And if that was created in US, that could be created and more likely will be created in all other countries of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_Governance_Board
Just like in the novel of George Orwell ''1984''. There is also a movie in case you would like to watch it. A very old one, but so truthful of what could happen if we allow that to happen.
https://youtu.be/fCZBnUt6rZ0
Even at home that guy couldn't act normally. He had something like a camera watching him. When he entered his house, he had to show that he doesn't have anything hidden under his clothes. The same about his bag and all the papers he held. Even to write something in his diary, he had to hide that. It seems that the ministry of truth didn't allow that. And they had many ministries there. Like the ministry of peace, the ministry of love, and maybe other ministries. People living afraid to say or to do anything that's not allowed. Also, people there are most of them brainwashed, and they are ready to report anyone who's not doing it right. Maybe rewarded somehow for doing so. Anyway, I watched only about 14 minutes of the movie and I understand that it could be worse. I read some comments and some people wrote that the movie is much more scary than any horror movie. Because most people maybe consider that possible to happen. Maybe people are kind of prepared for that.
*Anyway, I'm just sharing my opinion here. The things I worry about. And when seeing that being closer because of the hard censorship and the fight against what's called ''disinformation''. I see that we as people, should keep doing something about that.*
**Glad so many platforms now exists, where the censorship is impossible.**
We should promote them all and support them all.
Principles sold for money !
*How it is easy sometimes for some people to sell their principles for money.*
During all the history we see so many people fighting for their principles. Some of them even fight for them to the death. Some don't even mind to keep fighting for that even if they are attacked all the time. So, they kind of risk everything to just hold to their principles. It's of course so hard to do especially in our time. The time of censorship, a lot of disinformation and a very powerful manipulation of the public opinion.
So, we all agree that fighting for principles is not that easy. But sometimes we just have to do that. Because there are some principles who should never be broken. That what identify our personality. That what make us human. But we see so many selling their principles, so you may see them fighting for them for so long, but when they see the profit, they go along with it no matter what. Are they free to do that ? Of course yes. But it doesn't mean that others have also to do the same. If someone holding to his/her principles no matter what, it doesn't mean that this person doesn't care about money. But that means that his/her principles aren't for sale !
The same about the principles we have in crypto or on the blockchains. The decentralization for example, the freedom of speech. Should we stop defending that only because we start earning more? Only because someone or something pushed us to not care about those principles and put the money in the first place ? Should we just welcome new investors to the platform, just because they have a lot of money, and they want to make more ? Should we let them ruin everything built for so long just to have more of them ? Of course no. If the decentralization and the freedom of speech are the principles of the blockchain, we should put them in the first place.
*Many may think that attracting investors, or earning more by increasing the price of the currency is what matter the most. But not always big money help the price. Look at the coinmarketcap in those cryptocurrencies on the top. Are they all increasing in the price even having a lot of money invested in them ? Some of them are even going less in the price.*
**Always look at the big picture of things. Long term profit is better than short term one !**
The greed killed so many projects !

The difference between decentralized and centralized social media !
*There is a big difference between decentralized and centralized social media.*
The centralized one are aiming to gather as much information about members, and to use that information to generate income. Plus most of them include the third party. So, they can impact the public opinion. And they can make money from advertisement. And they don't usually pay to members that big part they are earning, but share only a little part from what they earn with a group of people who made them the most income. In the other hand, those who are doing well in centralized media can use that to promote and to earn from that. So, in one hand centralized social media are good for those who invested in them many years and maybe even money. And those who built their brand there. But in the other hand the centralized social media aren't good for regular people. Plus there is a risk even for popular accounts to lose access to that account, or to lose the account at all. So, even if spending many years there, and sharing something not right, we are in risk to lose all what we built. That's in case we're building there.
And now let's talk about decentralized social media, where deleting accounts or content is impossible on the blockchain level. Where everything created is public, transparent and clear. Where we don't see closed or private groups, where most of the decisions are made by the community. Where not only one centralized leading company is dictating what to do. And the most beautiful thing is that it could be totally anonymous. So, no one will ask from you your personal details to use them after. Because those details could be used to have a database that will be sold without paying anything to the owners. And it could also be used against people in case their actions aren't acceptable. So, we kind of secure ourselves in decentralized social media. Also, if the social media work based on a blockchain, that means anything created will stay forever and no one will be able to delete what he created before. So, it's easier to catch someone lying. The opposite we see in centralized social media where people to control what they say, and they can just hide their true opinion.
*Of course decentralized social media win in a lot of aspects.*
**But if someone like more the centralized one, it's their choice.**
Cool vegan food !
*Yesterday I decided to cook some food. I like to do it from time to time.*
In fact, I'm not that amateur in veganism and usually my wife is taking care of our meal. So, I fully trust her because she does her best to buy and ask to buy the best healthy food for us. Of course maybe we have a sin sometimes in eating some chips or not that healthy drinks, but mostly we eat only healthy food.
So, our kid don't always like the healthy food. For example, it's hard to make him eat a soup. But what we put there is so healthy and full of vitamins. We eat a lot of beans, soy chunks, nuts ... etc. And we like tofu so much, because it's possible to make with it so many dishes. So, what you see in the picture is a fried broccoli with tofu. And I've added there some kind of pasta called ''Mozzarella''. Because my wife cooked it and didn't like it. But I like it, because I don't mind eating sour food. She added there a lot of tomato pasta and that's why it turned that sour. I even don't mind eating lemon directly. I mean what's inside it. ☺
And here is what I've got when I finished cooking. I've added of course some spices there, and it was ready to eat. My son ate everything on that plate. He really enjoyed it. It's nice when you feed someone. ☺
Today my wife was also busy. So, I just took some vegan cutlets. Fried them. Boiled some potato. Mixed all that together. Added some ketchup. And put there two kinds of breads : loaves and just some toaster bread. And it was ready. We ate both with my son, and we enjoyed it and left a bit to my wife. ☺
*It's so nice when the family work together in preparing food.*
**I love doing many things with my little family.**
Why to create quality content !
*To not offend anyone creating very simple content, I'll talk about quality content from my perspective.*
I think quality content should be created anyway. It's always clear when someone put some energy in the content and someone who just share what he/she wanted without caring about quality. But there are those who may present the platform and if their content is not that good, that could harm the platform as well. Especially those who always get to the trending page. Because usually newcomers and investors check the trending page of any platform before they start forming an opinion about it. Of course, maybe a decentralized platform is not like a centralized one, and it's ok to see any type of content, but still it's better at least to care about quality. Many of those who will join may take the example from that.
In fact there are many other reasons about creating quality content. One of them is the reputation of the author. Especially in crypto communities, because most of them are transparent, if someone loses his/her reputation in one of them, he/she may lose it all in all of them. So, when you always create quality content, you kind of build that respect of other content creators. And we all know how most crypto platforms work. The better is your audience, the more change you'll have to get tips and to be supported. So, quality content have a long term monetary value as well. And by quality I mean, at least spending some time in formatting it, in presenting it. But not just writing to write. But those who want to do that, are also free to do what they want.
*Again, I'm just sharing my opinion. I am maybe wrong, but I'm sure about the importance of always creating the best content we can.*
**It's a kind of wish I have in mind, to see those who are not caring, to at least think about this.**
After all, the quality is also objective.
The power of nature !
*We can't even imagine how powerful is the nature !*
We are just a little part of this nature. Comparing one person to the earth, we see him/her so little. And compared to the space the earth is so little, so imagine how little the person could be.
Looking at natural phenomena, we see how powerful they are. We see that people can't do anything to stop any of those of happening. Earthquake for example, no one knows where they will hit for sure. And if they start, no one will be able to stop them. The same about volcano, lightning, hurricane and others. The nature is unstoppable.
There are also natural events that no one is able to stop. Like death for example, no one knows for sure, how he/she will die. And even though, nobody is able to live forever. The only thing we're sure about, that we may live about a hundred years. So, we can assume how long we could maximum to live. And if we lived already about 50 years, so only a half of our lives could be left. That's why we should be sure that we'll spend it with value.
We also often think that we are the ones who impact the time and our future. But that's not always the case. Because in case of a natural disaster or any circumstances, our plans will change anyway, and we may never get the result we wanted. The same about those who think that they own or rule the world. No matter what they planned, no matter of the evil that's happening, that couldn't happen without the real powers who created this world and those or that who let what's happening to happen.
*It's easy to be a complete materialist and to think that everything is in our hands. But when we think about the experience we had in life, we realize that sometimes we can't control some events and what happened to us.*
**That's why it's nice to be close to the nature and to know that everything happening is for a reason.**
I consider the spiritual word also a part of the nature if it exists.
We fore sure have a soul !
Interviewing Sarah Louise !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOVJhHPUHD0
In this video I've interviewed @ultravioletmag. We discussed a lot of topic including why she moved from centralized social media to decentralized one. You can learn from the video about her life and especially her story about almost being a billionaire thanks to crypto. And just get to know someone with free mind thinking. We have so much people with such lifestyle in crypto community, and I'll always do my best to find them and to expose them to my audience. https://blurt.blog/@ultravioletmag

How theory of ''Dead internet'' can impact public opinion !
*Recently I found a video about the theory of dead internet and I would like to share my opinion about it.*
Especially in the time of so much disinformation and fake news, we should be aware about this theory. So, this post will be created only for informative purpose. And you can share your opinion in the comments. As well, you can watch the following video to understand what I mean :
https://youtu.be/INMpsFfhaVk
Based on how I understand the theory, it's about the existence of bots in the web. Like the most activity we see on social media is a kind of activity from bots that work thanks to the artificial intelligence. But I would say that I don't think that most of the activities are by those bots. But still some content could be of course generated by bots because I know about so many websites working with neural network that do really extraordinary tasks. And I'll mention some of them below :
Shazam : an application that can recognize any music played.
FaceApp : can edit any picture of anyone.
thispersondoesnotexist.com creates faces never existed. https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
Autodraw.com : it will fix any drawing. https://www.autodraw.com/
Deepart.io : can turn a picture to an art. https://deepart.io/
Namelix.com : can help you with naming your company. https://namelix.com/
colorize.cc : can colorize any B&W pictures. https://colorize.cc/
Avatoon : can animate your picture.
*And there are many other websites and applications that can do so many extraordinary things.*
So, to create an algorithm that make an account generate content depending on the data given to it, is really more than possible. And that could be done of course or to increase the marketing of any product, or to push for a political idea. Why not. For example the program will look for the keywords to generate a particular message, or to make a reaction, and that will work depending on how it's set. Even facebook admitted that they have many fake accounts. So, other social media like youtube, instagram and even twitter could have the same algorithm to impact the public opinion. And we all know how they like to make money from the information they have, so why they will not use bots as well to make sure that the product will be well promoted, or an opinion will be pushed for.
*That's why I think there is no reason to argue against those bots in a centralized social media. Because all the code is hidden there and even if someone wants to expose that, he/she will not be able to do that. This is another reason to used true decentralized social media where the code is an open source and where any developer can expose the issue in case something is clearly manipulated.*
**I would say that the internet is more than alive, and those bots even there will be exposed by the time. That's why when you see a popular content, it doesn't mean that's really popular, but maybe just chosen by the platform team to make it popular.**
So, in fact some theories could be truthful in a form or another.
Russia during the sanctions !
https://youtu.be/QPpndJ8hrX0
*In this video I showed how I took a walk to the mall with my son in Russia during the sanctions.*
I've seen some people claiming on twitter that the situation in Russia is so bad because of the sanctions, but it seems ok to me. I don't know what will happen in the future with the country and with my family, but it doesn't seem that bad now. But I still worry that the war can began even here. That's why in case I'll not make it leaving the country now, at least I will enjoy the last peaceful moments. Of course, I wish the war will come to the end in all around the world. And I wished we all lived in a better peaceful world, where everyone cares about each other. But since we are not living in such world, I'll be just ready for everything, while enjoying my life at the same time.
I would like the video to go viral, because I'm so stack on youtube, and they even deactivated the monetization for me for a long time already. I gathered there about $75 for a few years posting videos, then they just stopped the monetization because I didn't have that many subscribers, but now they deactivated my AdSense at all. So they are not even planing to give me my money. But, I'll keep posting there anyway, and I'll stop doing so, only if they will censor my account and delete it at all. Also, I like to post there because the video is posted immediately, and I can just share the link in all the social media I post in. It's also good that youtube link can be embedded almost everywhere.
*Enjoy watching the video. That may help as well.*
**I'll be happy as well to see you commenting it on youtube itself.**
Here is the link to the video on YouTube ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPpndJ8hrX0
Association of Banks of Russia asking to give them keys of crypto wallets !
*It's one of the craziest news I have even seen about cryptocurrencies.*
You can check it here : Russian Banks Want to Ban Self-Custody Crypto Wallets. But since I know Russian and I live in Russia, I wanted to be sure about the news and I found it in Russian : Уголовное наказание за хранение криптовалют вне бирж and Россиян могут заставить отдать ключи от «крипты». The first is about illegality of not holding crypto in exchanges, they mean centralized one of course, and the second is about that Russians may have to give the keys of their wallets. That proves that staying in Russia for a crypto holder maybe dangerous. About taxes, they may ask to give them 30% like it was in India, or even more, who knows. That's how they are fighting the decentralization now. And I think more countries will do the same. It's just a matter of time. https://cryptobriefing.com/russian-banks-want-to-ban-self-custody-crypto-wallets/ https://ru.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/article-2148884 https://www.iguides.ru/main/gadgets/rossiyan_mogut_zastavit_otdat_klyuchi_ot_kripty/
They seem to understand that people don't trust centralized exchanges anymore, and most crypto holders start using the original wallets of crypto. I think this will push more people to withdraw their money from the exchanges. And the market may change a lot. Because I don't think that the market shows us all crypto held by people. It's for sure more than 2 trillions dollars. Automatically the volume is much higher and the price of each crypto now is not real. I guess that the price of bitcoin is already now $100k or more. Because the value of crypto on original wallets is for sure much higher. For example there are some private blockchains, where it's impossible to know how much is held. That's why I think so. Not all crypto are public like bitcoin. There is also a lot of money in NFTs, and DeFi. That's maybe not counted on the market as well. I don't know, those are just my assumptions.
*So, knowing what most of the governments did during the time, I wouldn't be surprised is such laws will be accepted, where people will have to give their keys. In this case we will see maybe other ways to hold crypto. I don't think developers will let that to happen.*
**Anyway, we also say that : ''Your keys, your crypto.'' We may have in the future so say something else. Crazy time we are living in.**
Asking for keys of crypto, is like asking for keys of houses or cars !
In case of the end !
*I didn't sleep enough, and I woke up hardly breathing. I don't know if the issue with the air, or the water, or maybe even the food. It could be of the smell of war not that far from the borders where I live.*
I wrote a lot of content motivating others, writing about the Healthy Indifference and about Having choice !. And many posts that share my experience of not giving up even when it was so hard. But when I think about what's going on in the world, when I think about what could happen with my family and especially with my child, I just come to a conclusion, that I'll have to be much more powerful to raise and to protect my son and little family. Now when even my mother went to Algeria, and she's living with my sisters and I don't worry about her that much because I know that many people are caring about here there, I'm left alone with my family in Russia, expecting the war here anytime soon. I live so close from Ukraine and I wish I could talk about what I hear here. https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@clixmoney/healthy-indifference https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@clixmoney/having-choice
Anyway, staying in Russia is not the case for me, and going back to Algeria is not an option for me. Maybe our destination will be to Mexico with fewer restrictions and more freedom. The more I learn about Mexico and the more I find people from there posting on the blockchain, the more I'm sure that maybe the best place to live in right now. Still not sure about that, but I learned about Thailand, and it seems that's not an option for me also. Still lost between choosing a country to go to, while everything could be close to the end. I have to choose as soon as possible before it's too late. I don't feel good about staying in Russia. But still have another issue to think about. That's of course money. Because I'll need a lot to travel and to be able to live onboard. I don't like to complain, but in this case I have to say that I don't have a lot. Maybe I'll have to do something about that. Maybe asking for donations is the only option I have.
It's really hard to come to this, but since I feel that I'll be a refugee of war, I may have to do so anyway. Especially if I have a child and a family to care about. Also, I think that I'll create more content from now, so I'll assure that I'll not be lost or homeless in the future. You may say, you're in crypto so long, why you don't have enough money now. I would say that if I'll sell all my crypto, I'll have about $10k and even that's not right away. I have about 2$k in bitcoin, about $500 in bitcoin cash. And the hive account that I'll have to power down in case I spend all btc and bch, that's about $8k that I can get in 13 weeks. And about $1500 in blurt. The total could be a bit more than $10k. Now looking for the prices of the travel, only flight ticket will cost me about $3500. That's what I have in bch and btc. Then I have some crypto in an exchange about $1000 that I may spend in visas, tests, and other expenses of travel. Then I'll have to start powering down. Because I don't think that the content will be enough for me to live with my family as an immigrant. I earn about $10 - $15 a day. That will be enough to rent a home. But, I'll need to pay bills, food, and other expenses.
I can't find enough time to help my wife create content, because she is taking care of our son, and she teaches Korean a little to earn a few hundreds of dollars a month. You may expect now more content from here on @cherilay. And I may create an account for my son to share his little life with you, and as I planned I hope when he'll grow up, he'll have an account already set for him with a lot of followers, and he will not have to work hard to think that much about money as I do. I hope to assure an easy life for him. https://hive.blog/@cherilay
*I didn't travel for a long time and that's why maybe I'm confused and afraid a bit. Since I left Algeria in 2010 to Russia, I didn't leave the country at all. I've got married here and so used to live here. Home we have everything we need for our comfort, and we may leave all this here, or sell it if we will have the chance. It's hard to leave when we worked so hard to assure that comfort. But as I learned here in the blockchain that the comfort zone should be sometimes left for better adventures.*
**It's hard to write this because I didn't want this to end like this. I wished we kept living here in peace. But it seems that we don't have any other choice to make. I hope we will make it and leave before it's too late !**

Interviewing Sovereign Naan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9tMhPlilq4
*In this video I interviewed Sovereign Naan who has a very interesting living style.*
I always loved everything what's related to freedom, and I've learned so much about this in the last years. The idea to be Sovereign is one of the best I think when it comes to freeing ourselves from the system we live in. That's why I like what Naan is doing and all those who support him. For more details you can check what they are doing here : @allodium. Or check their website here : allodium.is. https://blurt.blog/@allodium https://allodium.is/
**You can also subscribe to** **OG Foundation****.** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_SotatAXq42CFN3y8MakVQ
Naan is a great supporter of bitcoin cash, and he's on hive as well, but most of his content is on youtube now. It's really nice to see how people live off grid. Also learning about free thinkers in all around the world make us understand the various options we have in life. The world is so big, and it's not limited on a city or a country.

Having choice !
*I have the choice to write this, in this time, and I have the opportunity to do it.*
Sometimes the circumstances don't allow us to choose. We may know what's right, and what's wrong, but still something may lead us to do the unwanted thing. It's not because we chose the wrong thing, but because we couldn't do that for a reason or another.
Nowadays, we are all fulfilled with information. We may support one ideology or the opposite. We may change our minds about something. We may choose to keep spending time in digging deeper in any topic we want. But in the end we return to our real life, and we know that the solutions we may have are proportionately related with our situation. And no one else can know for sure, what's the right thing for us to do. That's why we may argue about something, but in the end we do everything in our own way. And that's the beauty of the choice. And despite what's going on in the world, I see that we all still have that choice !
Sometimes knowing for sure what's real and what's fake is not that important. Because when it's about our survival, nothing, and no one can stop us from doing what's planned. Especially if that's not only about saving ourselves, but also people we are responsible about. It's kind of a forced choice we have. That's why no one has the right to blame the other about what they did in their lives. We are all people and everyone has the right to choose what he/she wants. Maybe we should learn to respect that. Of course if that choice is not hurting anyone else, I'm not talking here about not caring about crimes or bad things people do. I mean the direction people take in their lives.
*Since we have such great option and that's the choice, we just should use this wisely.*
**Learn about the pros and cons, and do what's right for you and your surrounding.**
We live only once and our time is limited !
How to be a good parent !
*I think this post will be good to read for those who already have kids or plan to have kids in the future.*
Being a parent myself, I would like to write about my experience and at the same time give tips for those who have kids. Because not all couples are ready to have kids and not all parents know exactly how to be good for their kids. I also write this based on my experience being a kid, because I still remember so many things from my childhood. Especially what's related to my parents and how they treated me. That's impacted my personality so much and that's one of the aspects that made me who I am. That's why being a good parent is important, kids will remember everything and especially the bad or wrong thing parents do. And trust me, parents can be wrong as well.
*Maybe I'll write about this from my own perspectives and based on that my relation with my father not that good. But I wouldn't mention what exactly he did, because I already mentioned that in one of my old post, that I even prefer that you will not find. Because I don't want to remember the bad, but only the good things done to me by my father. And I would say that his education despite being tough, helped me to understand a lot of things about life and how he was the reason why I faced some money troubles easily in my life. His education played a role in making me psychologically stronger. That's what pushed me to build myself by myself. That's what made me count mostly on myself.*
So, I still consider the father playing a big role in educating his children. The father should teach his kids how to be strong, how to be a fighter in life, how to not give up. I would say that the father should build the personality of the kids and transfer his experience of being courageous. And the thing I learned is that the father shouldn't be so tough doing so. Maybe he should always explain that to his kids, so they will never think that he's doing that because of hate or something, they should always understand, that being a bit strict is a result of his life, but not an evil thing he made. The process of education is not always easy.
*About my mother, I never had any troubles with her. I always knew that she loves me, and she's doing everything to help me. Because usually the mother can't be that tough, her instinct is making her mostly nice and even if she gets a bit angry, she will do that in a very light way. My mother taught me how to be diplomatic. That's why maybe if man allowed more women to lead, the world could be more peaceful now. Mothers could save the world. That's how I respect them. I even see how my wife acts with my son, while sometimes I'm a bit angry with him. But, I'm doing my best to keep learning about how to be a good parent.*
Maybe the only tip I can give a mother is to not be so easy with the child. Still in some situations, kids need some education, to not harm themselves, or others. Maybe there are some things that could be learned a bit harder. For example the discipline to sleep at the right time and to not watch cartoons so long. Otherwise, I've never been a mother and I wouldn't be. lol Maybe the better tips about motherhood you can get from mothers themselves. And I know that we have so many mothers here in our community. Maybe the mother is the one who teaches her kids how to forgive, how to love and be more restraining.
*And finally, I would say that parents should know that they play a big role in building new personalities, new people, and a better generation.*
**That's why I consider parenthood one of the most important aspects in a society to care about.**

Healthy Indifference
*We often worry about so many things, what can push us to depression.*
Life is full of events. Of course, we always expect the best, but sometimes, we get the worse. And we should always be ready for anything. Just like we see the ups and downs in a chart of cryptocurrency, we may have the same, in reality. That's why we shouldn't worry that much about the negatives. The most important is to learn how to face that. That's the best way to not let what happened affect us. We kind of learn how to not care that much about what's going on, or not to care at all. That what's called ” Healthy Indifference ”. It's not to be indifferent at all, but to have the right reaction, and to not let anything impact our psychological health.
Of course. it's maybe hard to do. Especially when the situation get so bad. But we should control ourselves, otherwise, we may get down, or at all lose our minds. I understand this very well, because I've got so many situations in my life, where only the state of healthy indifference helped me to go through all those troubles I had. In such situation none of those psychologists will help. There is a great quote I know : '' You're your own psychologist.'' And that's true. People don't always have the chance to ask for an advice, but they often have to solve their troubles by themselves.
*The healthy indifference is an art to practice. Our lives are in our own hands.*
**Find the proper way for yourself to heal.**
You're the power !
I've earned 1.5 BCH only from read.cash and : https://noise.cash/u/clixmoney
I'm glad to join this community. I even used some of my earning to create DCC token on smartBCH. I followed so many great content creators, I consumed a lot of awesome content. I've been followed by 449 people in noise and 94 in read.
My goal now is to earn 2 BCH and keep holding it. Let's see how it goes.
Thanks for everyone who ever supported me. Every kind of support counts.
Bitcoin cash to the moon. ☺
Freedom of speech is not freedom of abuse !
*Most of us think that freedom of speech is very important, but does it mean the freedom of abuse as well ?* I don't think so !
Of course having a platform where the freedom of speech is protected is good. And we see that by no having the ability to delete accounts or content. It could be always found on the blockchain. So, technically we have full freedom of speech here and our content will always be found. Even if an application decide to remove it, we can find it on the explorer anyway. And that's awesome.
But what if someone will use the ability to freely write what ever he/she wants for abusing others. We all know how many trolls are there on the web. There are even those who can affect so badly content creators, especially those new content creators who just started to improve and grow their audience a bit. Creating content on the web for more than 6 years, I would say that I have some experience to deal with those trolls. But what about those who just started their journey in creating content. We usually invite our friends here, and maybe even relative, we wouldn't like to see them abused. Of course, we would defend such people and prefer to not see them abused.
Some people may think, that if we are supporting freedom of speech, that means we have to allow the abuse to happen. But that's not correct in my opinion. Should we allow plagiarism to happen ? Should we allow spam to happen ? Should we allow bullies to happen ? About plagiarism, I would say that's not fair to see someone stealing content earning, while the original content creator may struggle to get somewhere. About spam, I would say that we all hate it, instead of having a well organized platform of valuable content, we may see a platform with some comments, or full of links that may lead to fishing or any other type of scumming websites. And the last and not the lease is of course bullies. Maybe allowing them if also a kind of freedom of speech, but it doesn't mean that such people have the right to do what ever they want with others. Just like they may have the right to write what they want about others, we may have the right to treat them with the same way.
How many times we heard about people committing suicide because they get bullied. How many times we've seen people attacking someone because she or he does what's not accepted by others. I'm not talking about big crimes, or very bad behavior, but just something little, like not wearing the clothes their audience didn't like, or going to the place his/her audience don't like. I mean when the content creator is attacked psychologically for something really not that important. Or something without any real evidences, but just a fake about him/her. We should think about how such content creator felt at that time. Especially if the claim against him/her is not proven.
I'm not proposing to censor at all those who like to make fun of others, or to troll them. I just think that behavior shouldn't be appreciated by the community. We should do our best to create a friendly community. A community that welcome everyone building a brand and bring more value to all of us. I don't see any reason to appreciate the abuse. The more abuse we will allow on the platform, the more of it we will see.
*I'm glad we have the mute button, and we can just ignore those who troll us.*
**Because it's better to spend time creating rather than wasting it on educating someone who are not looking to be educated, but just joined to waste the time of others.**
DCC contest - Support #community
*We have only 1 million DCC tokens, and 10k is already in the hands of investors and creators. But I would like to see more DCC in the hands of people. That's why every single day 10 DCC will be distributed among those who enter the daily contest. If that's only one person, he/she will take it all if the entry of the contest will be right. If we have more people, it will be divided between them. But the more people participate in the contest, the more will be distributed daily.*
**Today, you can support the tag** ****#community**** https://noise.cash/search?q=%23community
- Write an article about the community.

Connect to the right Egregore !
*I never thought I'll write about magic, because I'm so far away from this topic, but still !*
I remember learning about the word ''Egregore'' when I read the book ''Transurfing of Reality !'' by Vadim Zeland. You can read it here !. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore https://ru.calameo.com/read/000348612ae5a93f94bd4 https://www.pdfread.net/dl/viewer.html?file=https://dl.pdfread.net/file/booksnet/titleauthor/reality%20transurfing%201%20by%20english%20by%20vadim%20zeland-pdfread.net.pdf
***I also recorded a video about it, watch it here :***
Transurfing of Reality ! https://d.tube/#!/v/clixmoney/QmWWiXYp6y8gye6ohJ1wcWXTgMWaGD4E4QQFCgpGCv4HSF
By looking for the word ''Egregore'' in wikipedia, I've found the related information about it about ''Chaos magic''. Before I thought that the word ''Egregore'' is only related to the things we think about. And the more we wish something, the more likely we will get it. But it seems having some kind of magical meaning, so it could be not just a concept, but a tool used to control the masses. Because while everyone is busy looking at one hand, the other hand can make the illusion. That's how magicians work, and even those who practice the black magic. I'm sure such people still exist even in our modern life, even if we don't hear about them that much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic
But what if this ''Egregore'' is already used widely by the mass media. What if people are really distracted by a kind of occult concept. Because looking at how some people are acting, I start to think that's something really magical implemented. And no matter how you talk to them and how many arguments you give them, they still think the same without allowing any critical thinking. At least a little of it. Sometimes it's even scary to talk with such people at all. Because they may become so aggressive, so just seeing what someone is writing, or how he/she reacts to the information is enough to understand if the person is bewitched or not.
*The solution is to connect with the right egregore. The right communities and people, to consume the information that's not related at all to the narrative, or even what opposites it.*
**We may call fools those who at least learn something about the magic. But if it's used somehow against us, why to not at least know the principles to be protected.**
How I've airdroped 4000 DCC on smartBCH !
*Yesterday I had a very productive day. I promoted DCC in noise and started to onboard people to hive. DCC token was created to support content in noise and read. So, anyone can write a content and promote someone else. For that people will be rewarded.*
**So, here is the post I asked people to share on their noise pages :**
*We all see how the tips are going down in noise, maybe some of you noticed that even in read. We shouldn't blame the developers or the website, but find solutions to earn more from our content. And I'm working on that solution by creating the DCC token on smartBCH.*
**The token is already on, and here are some details about it :**
The total supply of the token is only 1 million tokens.
We have 20k liquidity and already 50% is in the hand of investors.
It's listed on both app.mistswap.fi and tangoswap.cash. https://app.mistswap.fi/ru/swap https://tangoswap.cash/
Here is the smart contract of the token : 0x953C198399ed395111199FF01806ca3CEaa6326f
For more details check smartbch.tuxpaper.nu/TokenTransferScanner. https://smartbch.tuxpaper.nu/TokenTransferScanner/

Here is the link to our discord server : discord.com/invite/YhfG778yCw. https://dcctoken.blogspot.com/ https://t.me/dcccommunity https://discord.com/invite/YhfG778yCw
*Renoise this to get some tokens. The amount will be related to the followers you have on noise.cash. You can also write about this on read.cash and share the link in the comments, so I'll reward you depending on your contribution. For example, you can write about how rewarding the content is so important, or even promoting other authors in your own content. We will have contests where promoting content will be rewarded with DCC tokens. You can even write about this in any other decentralized social media using #dcc tag and share the proof. Centralized social media will count as well if you have there more than 1k subscribers or followers.*
Let's build a brand-new community around DCC token where we will support all the content that needs attention. It's another form to be rewarding for the content. Write something, promote someone, and you'll be rewarded for that.
*Of course share your smartBCH address to get the token after doing the work.*
**Then all those who did the work will get the airdrop in DCC in smartBCH, and I'll airdrop also to those who have accounts in hive, or those who will join.**
Here is what I've written in the channel with 80 subscribers on noise : https://noise.cash/c/dcc-collaborative-token-n2lj888l
*If you have any DCC on smartBCH. You'll be able to get some on hive-engine.com as well. Just share your hive account in the comments, and I'll send you some there as well. In case you need help to create a hive account, let me know about that. The price of the token now on hive-engine.com is about $0.04. I think this will be fair to give you the same amount depending on the price in smartBCH. The price in smartBCH is $0.001.*
**So, we will be called now ''DCC - collaborative token !''.**
The same name we have on discord and telegram.
The same about our holders in hive-engine. If you have the DCC token, let me know, so I'll send you the same amount in smartBCH. This airdrop will be on till the end of this month. For more details check that here : DCC airdrop in smartBCH network !. https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@clixmoney/dcc-airdrop-in-smartbch-network
That's how DCC will connect smartBCH community and hive. And in the future, more crypto communities will be connected. DCC is serving the purpose !
