I wonder if there is another platform where I can write and earn a little bit more other than Steemit, Hive, and read.cash. Do you have any suggestions?
Financial issues still lingered with me after all this year but the pressure is lesser than the moment I am still with my husband. He has not become my ex-husband yet but I think I am getting there. After more than a year of very long thought, I decided that I should get a divorce.
My daughter and I can start a new just with the two of us. I have been doing multiple tasks to support our monthly expenses but still,, I cannot get out of my misery. I guess I needed a change of attitude along with my hard work to find extra income for us, especially food, petrol and school.
I am currently doing a little bit of crochetting and playing with online slot games application. For those who enjoy playing slot games with real money, have you ever heard of ATM88 application? This application allows us to pay our bills with our winning for the games and it also gives 'ang pao'.

It has been quiet for a while. 5 months have passed since my last blog. Things have been going quite well for now. Moments of tears, sorrow, and sadness have passed leaving me with things that I need to decide.
I found out that I am happier, more independent, and less stressed.
Sometimes we thought that we have already got what we need and adapt to any kind of situation that comes with it but then until we experience the difference we will never know for sure.
Now I know the reason for my marriage having tons of difficulty just getting church registration. I prayed for my burden to be lifted from me and I believed that my prayer is answered. The only thing left is to decide whether I want to honor my vow or give up on it and continue to enjoy the life I have now.
I guess I will choose the happiness I have now. That is what I decided. A friend said that long as I do not have a change of heart I will be alright. They also said that do what I think is best for my daughter. Well, I do not know what is best for her but I do know that I can be the best I can be for her. I can never decide for her. Once she grows up, she will be deciding on her own and I will do my best as a mother, advisor, and friend.
Cheers...

Things seem to be going quite well recently. I hope that our life will slowly improve daily and no more stressful even in life. I have changed from someone who can usually think positive first to someone who rules out risks or bad things before positivity. Living with positivity is quite good because it lessens the stress and annoying, unwanted thoughts that repetitively want to be the king of my brain.
I lost to the biggest challenge in my life. It changes almost everything about me. My carefree life ended just like that. I do not think that I am irresponsible before this but I am too much dependent on my husband regarding our daughter. I believe that he can build a good character for her but it ended up way far from my expectation. Well, that is a personal story that I do not wish to go deep into.
**'Life is unfair'**
This is what most of us think before. I used to think like this too. Thinking differently, I believe that each of us has been provided with a good life before we know the end of it. What made it look bad? I think it was our every decision throughout. If we did our best to make a decision that we will never regret each time we need to make one, I think we already have one good moment in life.
Smile, laugh, and enjoy life whenever we can because we will never know the day when we might be crying all day long for months or years. Make memories that we will remember as good old days in the future. Six or nine years can pass by just like that. We will never notice it until we start counting.
The best of it is that we cannot repeat the time spent in the past even when we do the same thing tomorrow. Similar perhaps but not the exact same one, just like a twin.
It is never too late to start collecting good memories. How about starting right now?

Nothing unusual happened. I finally found a caretaker for my daughter. I am scared that I would be rejected for the 4th time but let's just put faith into a miracle.
I am scared and relieved at the same time but I am not sure whether it is good or bad. Will this school be able to handle my daughter? I hope they could.
Step by step until you are capable of being independent, I will do my best to assist. Whether it will be only the two of us for the rest of the way or accompanied by someone special, we'll see in the future.
Life is like the color of the rainbow. There are 7 colors seen inside the rainbow but if we think differently we can see the other part of it.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
Red mixed with yellow becomes orange.
Yellow mixed with blue becomes green.
Perhaps the other color goes the same too. The only thing that we do not know is the amount of color for each to produce another.
It's the same for life. It may seem that we know a lot about the life we want but the truth is that we are only hoping, guessing, or maybe denying the reality we are facing.
As for me, I thought and believe that I know what I am doing but big changes happened and suddenly I know nothing about the life I have gone through. I thought it was good but on the contrary, I have ignored a lot of things that I should have given my dedication to.
Well, it is not the end and it is never too late to start again.

**June 10th, 2022.**
It was supposed to be the day I started working again but my daughter caught the flu and is still recovering. It has been only the two of us ever since. I miss him a lot nowadays. Everywhere I look inside or outside the house there is a part of him. I am not sure whether he will be able to return to us as a new refreshed person or will be caught in his delusion forever.
He needed help a long time ago but I never thought that he could have fallen too deep into a hallucination that I failed to get him back. He has not realized it yet, but I hope that God will give him another chance which is also my second chance.
All his life, nobody believes that he can be better. He chose to be the worse of him. Will he choose the other way around? I do not know.
I wanted to have that one last chance. To have a better family with him. To let the other know that God's love is more than just keeping the nice thing. It is also to give a chance for good things to happen.
A chance is enough for at least I gave it a try.
Giving up after that will be those without regrets. At least, that is my hope. Whether it will be the best decision or not I'll know later.

***June 04th, 2022***
It has been 14 days since I made that decision for you. We met you again today just for a while. You are still not the man I once knew. I told you about our daughter but we did not get a good chat today. She has been running around wildly knowing nothing about us.
Currently, I believe that you might not be able to accept my decision for you. Perhaps you are still filled with anger, disappointment, or deeply saddened by my action.
The last question you asked me is, "Do I still love you?"
I am not sure that I can answer this question quite well but I hope that you have the answer for me. I don't mind if you cannot love me again but I believe that I will always keep my promises to you.
If you decide to leave us and be on your own in the future, I pray that you have a happy life without all your old mistakes. I pray that God will open your heart to feel the love you are blessed with and to see the happiness that you have been given.
May you soar like the eagle and have a good end for the life God has given to you.
Do you know that you deserve a better life?
If only you can see the things I see in you. I know that I might be the only one that will believe in you no matter the lies you have given me this whole time. You know that I have given you all the trust that you need. Yet you kept asking for more.
If you want me to listen, you should be the person that I can listen to.
For those who are struggling with their partner out there, we can choose to stay at their side throughout the rest of their life but we also deserve a better option without them. Our decision is ours to keep and they are the ones that should make up their mind.
If we are capable of compromising, self-reflection for our weaknesses, forgiving, and asking for forgiveness, we have already done our best. We will have no more regrets about any of our decision.
Hurtful? Yes. It is indeed extremely hurtful but someday we will realize the benefits of our present decisions.
Every action we took today might be useful in the future.
Bear with it. Be accepting, humble, and sincere. Keep the faith, be grateful, and be forgiving.
Longing for you
May 24th, 2022
It has been 4 days since May 21st, 2022 when you are not at home with us. I want you to be with us but I am also scared that you are not able to fight the temptation on your own. I decided that you needed help. I asked you once and you are willing to comply but you asked to be near us. I have no other choice but to let you go since I have given you chances to cure yourself but you show no sign of improvement. Your heart is there but you cannot fight the devil. I have to be considerate of our daughter as well since she is the only one we have together.
We are just a small family of three but I am not capable of being a passionate wife for you. You blamed me for your action. I did blame myself too but I also thought that you do not have acceptance and humbleness inside of you. You are defeated by your ego as a man. You should have known by now that I am an independent woman but need to be pampered. You only need to love me as I am for me to listen to you obediently. Yet I am also like a cat, if I want something I am going to get it no matter the obstacle especially when I believe that it is good.
**Why did I trust you so much and yet you still said that I did not trust you enough?**
Judging by the way you are now, do you think that it is worth it for me to trust you. You destroyed my peaceful life and yet you are asking for more. This is my feelings for you now. Perhaps I need more time to forgive you.
**Why did I trust our daughter with you?**
She is a beautiful, wonderful, and kind daughter but because of you and me, she became a monster to the other children.
**Are you not having a heartache listening to the teacher's comment for her?**
Luckily they are willing to give her a try.
**Am I that worst for you to give me this disastrous life?**
**Did I make you suffer that terrible that you put all the blame on me?**
The moment I wrote this, I am extremely angry with your choices in life. If you cannot change yourself then please leave us.
I love you but love alone is not enough. I am going to do my best to help you but if you are not going to help yourself, please think about our daughter. If you hate me, please think about the love that I once gave you.
You did say that once I have a child I will not love you much anymore. I am going to tell you that you are wrong. I did live with you wholeheartedly but you ruin the feelings with your own mistake.
I gave you choices and you chose wrong.
If you think that your decisions are right then why are you not happy?
Please ask yourself.
Why are you not happy?
Struggling inside.
The person you once knew is gone. He is physically present but his mind is somewhere else. He is reachable, touchable, and observable but he is no longer able to have a conversation with you. He rarely did have a conversation with you and now his mind is absent. The easiest solutions are to give up and let him go but your heart will not let you do so.
**Are you out of your mind?**
You are scared and exhausted. You can no longer hold on. What in the world made you stay? You are insane. Why didn't you run? Why didn't you just give him up? He is no longer here with you. He is lost and you are not his savior. He refused to be saved. He chose that pathway but he does not want to leave you. You have the option to throw him away. Why didn't you?
You need to take care of your little one. You need to take care of yourself. Both of you need to survive. He can no longer be a part of the two of you.
He did say he would have left you a long time ago. He accuses you of cheating on him. He has not shown any sign of love for you for quite a while now. What else is there left of him for you?
He destroyed himself and your future together. You can't even look at his face.
What else is there you got for him? Love?
Is love that strong enough? Perhaps sympathy?
The one thing that made you stay...
Is that you knew he needed help and he has no one else. You can be free if you want to but you decided to stay. The consequences are unthinkable.
If everyone decides to leave someone in need then where is humanity?
Only God knows the fear and disappointment you have inside. He knows your struggles and He gave you friends. Hang on dear and seek help in any way you can. Don't just hold on without doing anything.
***I dedicated this writing to anyone who is fighting to save their loved ones from drug abuse.***
The hidden strength.
Giving chances to a relationship over and over again is not easy. It is impossible to maintain a healthy relationship with a mentally unstable partner.
There is no other solution for mentally unstable people other than to isolate them from the community. Give them to the professional and pray that they can be cured.
I am not sure whether mental illness can be reversed or not but I am quite sure that they will have a hard time facing society.
Having a mentally ill partner is not an easy life to go through. Deciding to get the mental health professionals or to keep on staying with them is not an easy decision to make.
It would always feel like "I need to run".
Running away is not a solution. They need help and we are the only ones they have. If we leave them who else do they have? I know it is frustrating, lonely, frightening, and filled with unanswered questions. Stop doing anything for a while. Take a deep breath, calm yourself and you will find out that you already have all the answers you needed.
They said if you have not fallen deep enough until you met the end of the road, you will never understand the meaning of prayer and the love of God. Once you have been hurt enough there will only be three paths available to be followed.
One is you keep falling.
Two is you become stronger.
Three is that you become numb.
**Which would you prefer?**
As for me, the second option is the hardest but also the best. The definition of strength in this kind of condition is not measurable because even the smallest thing you are working on is considered one of your strongest acts.
I used to think that love is the strongest act but now I think that love alone is not enough. If you have the strongest love or affection in your heart but you do not dare to lose the person you love because of the right decision, it is not enough.
Losing is the strongest act of love we can do especially for a mentally stressed person. They will be angry with our decision, and they might leave us and hate us for the rest of our life but they will be saved and become better. We would regret not getting them professional help no matter what the consequences will be.
Let me tell you that the strongest act of love is damn hurtful but worth the pain. No matter what our decision is we just need to stay beside them until they no longer need us. Perhaps we are not the person they needed but we can always be a loyal companions even by sitting quietly beside them.
The pain is worth their happiness.
The only question will be is whether, are we strong enough to take a step.
Some said that if we truly love someone, we are willing to let go of our happiness. I believe that the one we are letting go of is not our happiness but our sole egoistic character.
It will always start with "No, I cannot take this anymore" but in the end, we will find out that we are still in the same place we started. Well, after hard work it would be disappointing in staying at the same place but what if that place is right beside the person we love. The only things that change are our perspectives.
Slipped from his grasp
Amanda was happily married to the man of her dream. James Pomer is a very good-looking man with a gentle attitude and kind heart. At least, this is all Amanda sees in him before their marriage.
They have been through hardship like nothing can break them down. It has been a beautiful marriage until James suddenly changes into a bad-tempered man that destroyed everything in his way. The only thing he does not break down is Amanda, physically. Mentally, Amanda is deeply hurt.
She has been hanging on for years of hope that things will get better. Nothing changed and she burst out everything. Her heart no longer felt the love she once treasured. She becomes a living doll.
The problem started when James is unable to share his problems with Amanda. He is unable to make Amanda feel that she is still a part of him. He made her a stranger and eventually he is losing her. Will he be able to save their marriage? How will he save their marriage?
Well, my stories end here. I will let you give an ending to this story.
Broken glass
A glass bottle falls on the cement ground and broke. It broke into pieces and was unable to be fixed with glue. The only thing that can be done is to recycle it. Then it becomes a part of a hundred more bottles in the future.
Is it still the same bottle?
Physically it is not but the components of the materials it is made of stayed the same. I think the same goes for a person that undergoes therapy after trauma. They might look alright from the outside but only they know the suffering they buried inside. Things that can be triggered by a certain action. As the new glass bottle falls on the same ground, it gets broken the same way. The first broken glass was sent for recycling but this second broken glass just might be thrown away as garbage.
Certain things will not be the same every time. If we hurt someone's feelings and were forgiven but then repeated the same mistake a few times more, we might still be forgiven. It's good to be forgiven all the time but then we should realize that we lost the trust given to us.

The mother-in-law forced the wife and the children to their death bed. She never likes the woman his son married for she is the daughter of the murderer that killed her husband.
She thought that a murderer should not have heirs even if it's her own grandchildren. She had been plotting that murder for years until the day of the incident. The murderer is her husband's loyal assistant and best friend.
What she did not know is that her husband is sick from dementia and trying to hide that from her. He killed himself after making his best friend promised to never let his wife know the truth. He wanted to leave only good memories for the mother in law, his wife.
The ghost is stuck in the house unable to move on probably because they wanted the mother in law and his innocent son know the truth.
Therefore Sara and Henry went to find the mother in law and his son, to tell the truth. They found them. They also found out that the son already knew the whole truth. He had been protecting his wife and children for years from his own mother but he failed at last.
That disastrous day, he was called by his office for an emergency meeting and his wife said he can go without worries. They will be alright. That was the last time he saw his wife's beautiful smile. He regretted leaving that day without sending his mother away from the house.
He was told that his wife is cheating on him and the baby is not theirs. Therefore she killed herself and the baby before truth be told. He knows that his wife will never cheat on him. The death of his other two children was put on the nanny before she become mentally unstable.
Henry told him about the ghost they saw in the house.
The husband requested to stay in their house for the night and that night he met them all. His wife and children. He promised the ghost that he will make everything right and since that day, the ghost has never appeared again.
You can decide what happened to the mother in law in this story.
It's not quite like the ending I have in mind but I hope you enjoy reading it.

Mathilda saw her and jump in excitement.
"My lady, my lady," she said. "You are back. I have been waiting for you, my lady. Did you come to get me?"
Sara is shocked. They sit together and chat for some time. Henry and the caretaker come and approach them after a while. Mathilda saw them approaching and she shout hysterically. "Run my lady. Run. Bring along the children. The madam is evil. She is going to kill all of you."
The caretaker has to call a few more workers to help calm down Mathilda. They told the couple about Mathilda and things that she often said to them. That was 10 years ago. The moment she first came to the facilities.

Henry and Sara decided that this phenomenal activity should end. They went around to find out the history of that house. The closest neighbour said that the previous owner is a wonderful couple with three children. One boy was 7 years old, a girl is 4 years old and a baby is 8 m0nths old. There was a nanny to take care of the children and a mother in law too. The nanny was very good with the children but she became insane after the death of the family. She is currently being taken care of at the mental health institute.
They went to the mental health institute next to find a nanny named Mathilda. They found her but she is no longer capable of having a conversation. Mathilda is now 55 years old but she acts like a child.
She runs around the facility's garden, climbing up and down the garden bench, playing hide and seek with imaginary friends name James and Mercy. Later they found out that James and Mercy are the older children of her previous employer.
Sara tried to come closer to Mathilda. Mathilda saw her and...

It has been there. It has always been there. Henry has thrown away the rocking chair almost five times but it always comes back there. Sara has almost become insane by the lullaby every night.
It is always the same scene reappearing every night. A lady walking by the corridor of the second floor, holding her baby, singing the lullaby until the baby stops crying and falls asleep. Then she climbs on a chair to jump over the balustrade along with her baby.
It started with footsteps, a baby crying, and a rocking chair. It can be heard loud and clear every night.
Henry and Sara are a newlywed couple. They bought that house three weeks ago and they have used almost all their savings for it. It has supposed to be suspicious for the house to be sold at cheaper than the usual price but they're are elated to notice it at that time.
To be continued...
Cryptocurrencies, risks and wishes.
Choices existed because we are capable of making a decision. Every choice that we make comes from our deep thoughts depending on our risk tolerance ability. The same goes for cryptocurrencies. Some seem to be earning a lot, some earning just nice, some not even earning and some stay idle. Which are you?
If you are in a state of stress regarding others are earning better than you, stop. Ask yourself this question.
What are they doing that I am not?
***They are hardworking people***.
If you think you are too, start comparing the duration of their hard work to yours. Some have been falling and rising with the world of cryptocurrency for years and they have never stop learning from every mistake. They stand up after every fall and try again, over and over again until they reduce the risk of falls.
***They never give up.***
It has been a year and you thought that you have worked your guts long enough. If you think that getting into cryptocurrency is the right choice to do, then you should also know that there is no shortcut except you take the risk to invest your own money. Free access to cryptocurrency also means triple the hard work. If you cannot make it, stop. Do something that you will be able to work with happily.
***They are a quick learner.***
I am a slow learner. It is hard for me to understand cryptocurrency with just one read. It is still difficult to learn even if I read it twice or thrice. I end up learning through experiences. I am not good with long texts also. I end up reading only the point I needed and reading it again for confirmation. Being a slow learner is not a wall that will stop us from doing the things we have the guts for.
***Stop being envious of others.***
Being envious of other successfulness is a waste of time in pursuing cryptocurrency. It is better to spend time assessing our own risks tolerance, making plans for our future, meditating on our mistakes and try to solve each limitation or obstacle that slowing our progression.
As for me the biggest obstacle of all is a stressful mind. It slows me down entirely. Though I might be slow compare to others I am still earning just nice from my efforts. I cannot have many crypto savings for now but I already have some of it after more than 4 years of writing. I still exchange crypto for fiats especially for groceries but that is my story.
What about you? Some here already have more than 1 BCH savings. I probably have spent more than 1 BCH on groceries and it might sound like a wrong decision to make but I am still confident that my life can be better with cryptocurrency. It might take me another 10 more years, hopefully, lesser before I can achieve the life I wish for.
***I want to be financially free. Freedom from debts and having the ability to buy anything I need without worries that I will not have enough for the month.***
Will cryptocurrencies change my life?
I am a person who is not good at theories and facts. I am more of a person who learns by experiences and decides through instinct. In other terms, I am not a dependable person if you need me to debate through theories. I can read, but it might take me a long time to process the information.
I am not yet a person who can share or talk about cryptocurrency because I have not been able to dive into the world of cryptocurrency with full force ahead. I surely have a very long way to go to become a crypto master.
As far as I am concerned...
Since I got to know cryptocurrency four years ago, it has helped me buy groceries and hold on until the next payday.
Lacking knowledge about cryptocurrencies prevents me from doubling my earning. Earlier I got to know a wallet that gave me a chance to earn interest through cryptocurrency holding. The more I hold, the more I earned. Since the price is going down, I feel that it is better to save and earn interest.
The only idea that regarding cryptocurrencies that I applied until now is to **Buy Low, Sell High.**
Buying is not my first option because I rarely have enough to survive for a month. Therefore I tried to save bit by bit of the BCH I earned from here and keep it in my wallet.
With the struggles to hold on with a tight budget monthly, my expected goals is not an easy task to achieve. I have hope that cryptocurrencies will someday change my life for the better. I have prepared to take the risk within my capability so I would not regret it in the future.
Back to the main question.
Will cryptocurrencies change my life?
I am not sure whether it will or not, but I believe that as long as I continue learning and exploring, I can achieve my goals in the future.
I hope this plan will work. Therefore, I will be able to take early retirement 8 to 10 years from now. I am 80% sure that it will work for me. I can increase the percentage up to 99% if I can build up more discipline in myself.
Choosing Crypto to buy.
This is my first time buying cryptocurrency using fiat. I was hoping that I can sell it back soon at a higher price but then I made the wrong decision. It looks like I have to wait longer.
**The first lesson** I learned in buying cryptocurrency is to **observe**. I need to observe the flow of the market.
**Buy low, sell high.**
I mean that I need to buy crypto during the price is down and sell it back when the price goes up.
**The second lesson is to wait**. I need to wait until the price goes as low as it can be and observe the graph. There will be a time when the differences between the up and down of the price do not vary much. If it is low enough and within my budget, I will buy it. If it is higher than the price I first bought the crypto then I will sell.
**The third lesson will be the fees.** There are charges for every transaction done or exchanging done with crypto as the bank does. It can go high and it can be cheaper at a time. In my observation, the fees go down when the price is low, therefore if I want to do and withdraw or transfer between wallets, it is the best time for me. I might be lost credit in the asset values themselves but then I will be able to save from being charge more.
**"I will buy a cheaper cryptocurrency and keep it."**
Once the price goes up, I will use the interest earned to buy another crypto.
It is risky. Make sure that every decision is your own call and get ready to be disappointed. In my era of newbies, I once waited for two years before the price went up again.
Below is the link where I watch the market price of the cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency Price https://goldprice.org/cryptocurrency-price
I have multiple E-wallets for cryptocurrency to be a little bit safer. It might not be as safe as I thought it would be but then that is the gamble that I took and within my capability.
**It is your call and none others.**
This is written based on my young experiences in cryptocurrency.
Hold or sell?
Currently, the price of BCH is lower than it used to be a few months ago. I have bought some at that time and I kind of regret not waiting a bit longer. Now it is around 20% lower than the price I bought mine.
This has happened before in 2018 where the price is going down and way down back in 2020. Suddenly it rises again earlier in 2021. I wrote this based on my memory alone and I can be mistaken.
The key to buy BCH is to be patient and wiser each time. I made a mistake for my first time buying and I will be wiser next time. I am scared to lose the value of the BCH I bought earlier therefore I thought of selling it while the price is still logical for me but then after thinking twice, I cancelled my planned. I noticed that this has happened before and I waited for two years for it to rise again. At that time, I do not have any BCH with me but still, I waited for it to rise again. Now that I have some in my wallet, I planned to hold it until the price goes up again. While waiting, I will add on some more if the price goes down again.
**"Buy low, sell high"**
A friend told a story about his wife bought some crypto way back in 2013 and now they are enjoying double the price they bought at that time. As for now, I am aiming to get at least 1 or 2 BCH in my wallet. It is still a long way to go but it is possible if I keep on working hard.
**"I choose to hold my BCH"**
I used to dream of using Cryptocurrency to pay for my loans and with BCH, I think this dream will be able to be realized.
What do you do with your BCH?
I read an article from @andrianlover with the title, Before you swap BCH into food: read this. He is wondering if there is another wallet that gives interest for crypto assets that we hold. https://read.cash/@andrianlover/before-you-swap-bch-into-food-read-this-ed5e567e
For all the years that I have been earning crypto from a writing platform, everything has been turning into food. I do not have extra to save or to buy more.
He said that if I have $1000 from @MarcDeMesel what would I do?
Well firstly, I am not going to dream about it because I found that I am not in his league and it will be impossible for me. (No offence)
Yet, I agree with his ideas. Though I do not have much earlier this year when I know about Nexo wallet, I have been starting to save my earnings from my other account.
Above is my BCH savings in Nexo wallet and the interest that I have earned from January 2021 until now. Now that I have traded some of my BCH for ETH and then use it to buy Nexo token, my earning interest rate increase to 5% as I have reached the platinum level.
The previous rate was only 4%. There is also a fixed-term deposit where I can hold my BCH and earn a little bit more.
The interest is higher with a Fixed-term deposit. This is my first time trying therefore I am holding it for a month first and see how it goes.
As I understand, now I am earning about 11% of the interest from my BCH saving. If I choose to earn in-kind I will get another 2% extra which I will get in terms of Nexo token. This token can be exchanged into BTC and ETH within the wallet. There is no option to exchange it with BCH directly for now but I hope there will be in the future.
Have I mentioned that it will be a daily interest?
It is a kind of motivation to hold more BCH watching the interest earned daily. Do not forget that there is still the term deposit interest which is also earned daily as long a the term is active.
My only regret is that I did not put my savings into the fixed term deposit earlier when the price is still higher than now. Well, I am still learning and I am going to become better someday.
That is it for my journey with Nexo wallet.
There is more to Nexo but I am going to stick with this current plan. I will play safely first until I am confident enough to make another mistake.
Choosing BCH
I am not a crypto expert but I would like to learn more about it because I want to make cryptocurrency one of my future financial plan. Since knowing Read.cash I am able to cover for important expenses like my daughter milk powder and diapers, some of our groceries, my breakfast and lunch during work.
In addition, BitcoinCash(BCH) have **lower transaction fees** compare to Bitcoin and Ethereum. During the Movement restriction Order in my country, BCH has been one of my financial support.
I exchange BCH for fiat and it can at least cover for my transportation to work expenses. I wish to earn more BCH through this platform, just like the other who earn more than $1000 per article but then I think my writing is probably not as good as them and my knowledge if far below theirs.
If I can at least earn more than $20 for each article that I write that would be a blessings. I am not going to beg for upvote but I am going to work hard to earn it. $20 is consider small for some but it is already a big amount for me, therefore **my goals is to work hard on earning at least $20 for each article that I write.**
As for now, I only have $2.52 for this account and some of it are taken form my first account so that I can at least give a small tips to any other article that I find interesting.
I will research on my articles and see if there is something I can do to improve achieve that goals. If I find out something, I will be happy to share it with you guys. I will not take any short cut by spamming or begging for upvotes.
I want to prove that efforts will be paid equally. I might give up in the middle but I will try my best to keep on going for I believe that giving up will only give me regrets.
Read.cash beginner #6: Readers.
As a writer, readers are an important asset. Without readers, everything that we wrote will not be increased in values. This is my own opinion though.
In my childhood, I can spend days reading books until I can reach it last chapters and know the ending. My weakness in reading is that I cannot focus on reading things that I have less interest in.
Reading is not hard but understands and being able to conclude what we read are. For that as a writer, we need to learn and respect our readers. In my opinion, a good read for sure can give decent comments which always exclude them from being detected as spam. Therefore, to avoid being put in the spam section we need to learn to be a good reader first.
The comment will not always be an appraisal, it can also be a critique. It is up to us the writer to learn to be open-minded and respond positively to each comment given. Let the appraisal give us confidence and let the critique becomes the road to improve our writing.
The road might not always be an empty street. It could be a road that is full of people and any other obstacles that are not easy to go through.
If we are not yet being able to be a good writer, read more and learn from the other writer.
What is it that they do that we did not do to be able to achieve success in writing one article?
All of these is only simple guidelines to start a journey as a writer.
I believe this can be applied to any other writing platform too. This will be the last article to **read.cash beginner #1 - #6.**
This is written based on my personal opinion and experiences only. Therefore it is not the sole guidelines for the platform. I just hope that if newbies can read through all of this including #1 - #5, they can have an easier route than the one we took.
Read.cash beginner #5: Niche.
It took me a few years to find out my niche. Are you wondering about what Niche is?
I am not very good at explaining details, but I will try to explain this to you so that I can better understand myself. Here goes.
Niche is **the signature of our writing**. When someone reads our articles, they will definitely know that the article is written by us without looking at our screen name or if we use a different screen name. In conclusions, Niche is like the **watermark or introduction to ourselves without the need to say 'hello, I am...'** in each article that we write.
How many niches can one author have?
Previously, I thought that a writer can only have one but I am wrong. There are the benefits of having one niche and so it is vice versa. We can have as much Niche as we want.
One Niche.
**A book writer, an author or a journalist usually have one niche.**
If they write about travel, they will write only about travel.
If they write about food then the next articles will be about food.
The benefits of having one niche:-
Readers will know about what you write and easily get use to it.
Readers can expect the next genre of your story or aticles.
Easier to get permanent readers because once they like what you wrote they will stay.
The weakness in having one niche is that you can only one group of readers. For example, if your niche is about writing horror stories then your readers will be a group of people that like horror stories. Everytime you write a new story, it need to give the feeling of, "Oh, this is new. I never read a horror story like this one."
Multiple Niche.
**Bloggers, Diary writers and freewriters.**
The benefits of having multiple niche:-
You can freely write what you want or what ever it is that cross your mind.
You can even write more than an article a day with multiple niche.
It sound easy with multiple niche but then it will be hard to find a permanent reader because you changed everyday. Today it will be about your garden then tomorrow will be about the country.
Those who love garden will only read about garden and the one who love topics about politic will only read about politic.
A solution is that you cna have **multiple account if it is allowed** or you can divide your niche by day or by time in a day, so that the readers can follow your trend easily.
There will be a lot type of readers too but this will be for the next article.
Read.cash beginner #4: Giving up.
Are you one of the people who give up easily?
If you are then never bother to start anything. Do not even think to bring others along with you if you yourself cannot hold on. Other than that, do not develop jealousy inside of your heart. Each individual has their own luck and everyone work hard on their own efforts.
Your first article did not get any tips. **Will you stop writing?**
Your second article also did not get any tips. **Will you write again?**
Your third article ends up the same. **What will you do?**
The same goes for this account. It is not until my seventh articles that first manage to attract the random rewarder.
This current article is the next article I am writing after the upvoted one. I am not sure whether it will still attract the rewarder but I will still keep on writing.
***"If I give up now I will never know whether there will be a better future if I keep ongoing"***
**Will, I stop writing?** No, I will not because it is writing that I enjoy and tips are only bonuses. If I said that I am not writing for the money then I am lying to you but I do appreciate no matter how little is the upvotes I got compared to others. Here is where I must remember that I must not be jealous of others because as I said earlier, each of us has our own luck and efforts.
**Will I write again?** Yes, I will. I write here and there. If I cannot earn here, I will try elsewhere but yes I will still write for the platform.
**What will I do?** I will read others more and improve my writing slowly so I can write better articles in the future. I believe that someday I will be recognized if I keep ongoing.
Giving up is not an option.
**"If I work my best now, I will have nothing to regret in the future."**
I am lucky because my seventh articles already got tips from the rewarder. My earlier post was also tipped by other members in read.cash. It is not much but it means a lot to me.
Some took 5 months, some took longer.
If this happens to you, what will be your decision and action?
Introducing myself: Another part of me.
It is a bit late for my introduction. I noticed that some communities here in @Read.Cash required me to introduce myself before being able to post or accepted in their community.
This is my second account which I devoted to **learning about cryptocurrency and sharing my experiences in the world of writing.** My original niche is far below the knowledge of cryptocurrencies but I would like to give it a try.
I am quite aware that I can only learn better about cryptocurrency if I read and write about it, therefore this account is born. Although it has been three years over since I know cryptocurrencies, a year ago when I join in read.cash is the first year I learned about other cryptocurrencies other than Ethereum(ETH). I have always known that there is Bitcoin(BTC) the most expensive currencies there is but unaffordable for me and hard to earn. Even if I am able to earn BTC, most of the earning will be lost in the transaction fees.
After that, I encountered a post writing about read.cash and earning Bitcoin Cash(BCH) by writing too. I used to write in Steemit before and I am familiar with the rules and regulation to earn but then I never heard of BCH before.
It is a bit scary to get to know other cryptocurrencies other than the one that I used to know before. I took the courage and I did not regret it. It is also here in read.cash that I learned about the transaction fees. I have been able to trade and exchange crypto earlier but then I failed to notice the charges. If I noticed it earlier I wonder how much could I have saved on fees only.
Just like the beautiful sunset I can see from my kitchen door on every clear day, I still believe in the future that cryptocurrencies stored for me. Know that I know the existences of BCH which is more affordable and worth trading with my current knowledge, I am going to set goals to make BCH one of my investment saving for the future.
A friend once told me that I need to save money. She is right. I do.
Three years ago, I set a goal to use Cryptocurrencies to pay my debts. Until now that has not been achieved yet but then it has bought me a lot of groceries.
As for today, I am setting my new goals in cryptocurrencies.
I still need to pay those debts.
It will be my money savings plan.
It is going to help me complete my house.
I am going to be the best crypto instructor or guides in the future(Online only). I am going to do my best to reach out to as many people as I can starting with all my closest friends.
As for now, I am still going to need those cryptos to buy me groceries. Until the first goal is achieved, I think I will be stuck there for a while.
***"Hard work will be paid if I never cease to work hard."***
Wondering about my first account? Well, you will know sooner or later.
Actually, there is another thing that I want to prove by creating this account.
I often read about new authors that are not yet recognised by the @TheRandomRewarderor by the big tipper @MarcDeMesel. Through this account, I want to see whether I can prove that giving my best to each of my articles or blog will be able to earn some rewards.
'My best' will be written in all my other articles Read.cash beginner #...
I have not been able to attract the two big tippers yet but I managed to earn my first reward from @wakeupkitty for my steppingstone. https://read.cash/@hb15/steppingstone-21b3331a
After that @Nyctofiles for my read.cash beginner #2: Spam . https://read.cash/@hb15/readcash-beginner-2-spam-f3523b3e
@TruSuccessXpert from the community of 'Good Karma Army' also for my Steppingstone.
Lastly, for the 'pay it forward' comments for @MizLhaine she gave me a tip too.
These are all small step. It might do not worth much for you but it is for me. In the beginning, there is no easy way.
Read.cash beginner #3: Good quality content.
In a writing platform, we often hear the sentence, 'Good Quality Contents'. I did.
What does it actually mean?
Some say that if you can write a long article of 600 words and above, all about facts or a lot of pictures and many more. It is not as easy as that. Writing is simple but to make it something worth the read is another story.
Who said that your thought does not count as good quality content?
If your writing can give some positive vibes, some awakening or perhaps some new bits of knowledge to others then it is counted as good quality content. Well, at least for me.
What does it actually mean?
Writing is something merely from your own thoughts without referring to others writing as a guide is called **original content**.
Writing by using others as references is called **based evidence articles**. This one needs to be written with **proper citation, including pictures and short sentences like quotes.**
Everyone can write whatever they wanted to write but **not every writer will go through their own writing** after they finished it. If we ourselves cannot finish reading what we wrote ourselves, **how do we expect others to do so?**
While we are reading our own article again, why not take the chance to see if there is any grammar error? If we are not good at grammar, **the Grammarly application** can help. If that does not work, then we can at least **make sure that our spelling and punctuation are correct**. I will give a few examples below.
*im tried to write in grammer and spling wrong so that I can show u an important reading experience.*
Try reading it again below.
*I am trying to write sentences that have grammar and spelling errors so that I can show you the importance of the reading experience.*
Which do you think gave you a better reading atmosphere?
The second sentences is a bit longer than the first one, but then you can see that the place where I put in a 'coma' punctuation gave you a second to breathe, before you continue reading.
I wrote the errors myself, therefore I have no problem deciphering the message I want to delivers. If I put myself as a reader, the first sentence will give my brain hard work just to read.
All of this, I believe is the minimum requirements for good quality contents.
It is not about what we write but the way we deliver our message through our writing.
What is it that we want the readers to expect after they are done reading? Are they happy? Satisfied? Wondering? Waiting for our next post?
To write with better grammar use and lesser spelling errors...
You can use the Grammarly app. It can be used on both smartphone and laptop or computer. Sometimes it does not work well with a poor internet connection but you can always double-check after saving as draft or publishing. https://app.grammarly.com/
If you need a tool for word counts...
You can use WordCounter. https://wordcounter.net/
If you need prompts or ideas for writing...
You can use Writing exercises and prompts. https://writingexercises.co.uk/index.php
If you want to challenge yourself by using a timer for writing...
You can use V.Clock https://vclock.com/timer/#countdown=00:10:00&enabled=0&seconds=600&onzero=2&title=freewriting&sound=piano&loop=1
Read.cash beginner #2: Spam
Read.cash beginner #1: First thing first. https://read.cash/@hb15/readcash-beginner-1-first-thing-first-38cca4ff
As a user in this platform or any other writing platforms, we should not forget that we have other responsibility too other than writing good quality content.
In read.cash, **we are allowed to send spammer into the spam section** but then it is not as easy as clicking the spam button. Where is the function I mentioned? You can find it in the comment and reply section under the notification bell.
**Can you see the flag with spam written beside it?**
That is the first responsibilities. To mark someone as a spammer is not only judged by the comment they gave. Short replies do not mean spamming and so it is vice versa.
Do not simply put someone into the spam section before clicking on the spam button. I believe this is a rare mistake. If there is a mistake, it could be only 1% of the community.
**Realization.**
If you noticed this section then you must also realize that it is not only the admin who is capable of putting a user into the spam section. Every one of us here has the power to put someone into the spam section.
Therefore before putting the blame on the admin of read.cash or to the platform itself, take care of yourself. Your writing is your job if you do not have any other daily job as I do. **Even though I said that writing can be your job, it cannot replace a profession.**
A job can be done by anyone with proper instruction but not everyone can perform the same job perfectly as a person that took the job as their profession. Most of us come here because we need extra money. I do too. **This platform is only a stepping stone. A place that can give a head starts in the world of cryptocurrency.**
**What is spam?**
Unrelated, meaningless, repetitive, empty, annoying and many more like it.
A comment that does not show appreciation, debate or value to the article commented.
If I continue on this one, it will be a very long list and I am sure it has been mention all over the platform including noise.cash.
**Question yourself.**
If you keep on posting for an hour or two gaps between each of your articles because you have nothing else to do, the new section will be filled with your articles only. That might be good for you but how about the others writers? Don't you think that they want to be noticed too?
**Would you like it if your article is buried under the same person articles?**
You have taken a lot of time or maybe a few days to complete one article and you have done your best in writing it but then all the comments...
*"Nice"*
*"Good articles"*
*"Thank you for sharing"*
You are talking about a tree but then the comments...
*"Good picture"*
**What would you think?**
**Would you not be anxious whether they have read your article or not?**
If you cannot give a proper reply, just give tips and if you do not have any tips to give, a thumbs up will be nicer.
**If we learn to appreciate, we will be appreciated.**
Next, I will be writing about good quality content.
Read.cash beginner #1: First thing first.
It sounds weird for a new account to write this kind of topic. Isn't it? This is my second account. I will be sharing my experiences in cryptocurrency through this account with the hope to give a stepping stone to all beginners not only in read.cash itself but also beyond read.cash. I am also quite a beginner in all this but I will try to make it easier to understand.
Well, as I mention in the title **First thing First**. I am going to talk about the **mindset in cryptocurrency** through this article.
Why is mindset is the first important thing?
When this platform is promoted to me with the sentence, "Do you want to earn?" Of course, I do because money is crucial. It is not because money is the most important thing in my life but because I needed to have money to survive. The only challenge is whether I can face all the difficulties and learn through experiences or just give it up if I fail to earn in few articles compare to others.
***Should I compare my gain to the others or should I investigate my mistake so that I can improve myself?***
The second choice is the wise decision. Sometimes another person will help to show my mistakes to me, but it feels better if I can realize the mistakes on my own and correct them immediately.
***Nothing comes for free.***
Even though this platform offers free registration and pays for our written articles according to our quality of articles, it does not mean that it is absolutely free. The **efforts** we gave for each of our articles are not free. The **brainstorming** that we made to write a **beneficial read** to others are not free. It all need energy and that is what we are paid for.
***Do you think that the energy you spent on this platform worth the BCH that you got? Or perhaps you are wondering why you are not paid for anything yet?***
If you read carefully every written article here, you will realize the efforts given for each article. Some article has a good storyline but then it is full of grammar and spelling errors which in my opinion **reduce the quality of reading to all readers.** It spoils the mood and the wonderful content of the story.
***I know that not everyone here uses English as their first language and so is I.***
This is where the learning part comes in. I learn from **my mistake and I improve** myself bit by bit. I am still not the best of me in writing but it does not mean that I will give up on **my goals** which are to make cryptocurrency as my side incomes and pay all my debts. Plus, I want to have an early pension if I can be successful in cryptocurrency.
I deliberately create this account to get to know the feeling of authors that claimed they are not earning too. The existent of this second account is somehow affecting my original account but then it is alright. **It is like climbing the stairs again after they descend.**
I have been upvoting myself to make this account surface but after reading the read.cash articles once again, I notice that **it is against the rules they give.** Therefore I stopped immediately. I believe I once read that it is alright to create a second account to separates niche, so **I re-think and I thought** that maybe the quality of my article perhaps has reduced and I need to review it again.
***Have you ever Re-read your own article?***
If you have not then you better try doing so. This is how I find my own mistake and improve myself from there. If this is not working then just go and read all published article by read.cash, it will help to move forward in this platform.
***Read.cash as the name already mention is a place to read therefore someone must write something good to read.***
This is the mindset that we need to have here. If we want to earn here, I believe that this is the first level that we need to go through first. Leave the earning behind for a while and work on improving at least the content and spelling of our articles. Try to aim for longer articles with benefits I guess. This is all just my personal opinion. To prove this I will see if I can get some love through this ne account. If I didn't after I have worked my best then it is time to find another solution or just do multiple tasks at a time.
**In conclusion,**
**Never blame the platform because we are the users that sow the benefits.**
It is up to the admin or the creator to decide whether they want to reward us or not. Every project has its goals to achieve. We might not be a part of it but at least we have tried our best so we have nothing to regret. If it does not work, maybe this is not for us.
**Do not be discourage.**
Cryptocurrency is a wide topic to discuss therefore the opportunity is also large. It is up to us to find a way that we can compromise and perform well with.
**Respect to be respected.**
Speech is free but respect should not be neglected. Learn to respect ourselves then to respect others before we can expect others to respect us. If you think you have written quite a good article, would you be happy to receive a comment that only say, "Nice"?
If you cannot comment or express your thought for what you read, tips and upvote would be nicer. Some work hard on writing to provide readers with pleasant reading. **Should we complain if we ourselves cannot even care about our own article? spelling and grammar.**
That is all for part one. I will be writing about reponsibility in my next article.
Earn more BCH from playing a game.
***The title sound interesting, isn't it?***
Well, it is true. You can earn more BCH by playing a game and perhaps if you earn a lot there, you can use the earning top-up read.cash or for your purposes.
Even though I said that this game is real, it's not that much of an earning a week except maybe you are a consistent gamer.
This game is called Free Bitcoin Cash and you can download it through the link below.
https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=2387996&game=7&pf=2
Sadly, as far as I know, only the android user who has Google Play Store can download this app through this link.
I helped a friend to download it using an APK but then she did not get full access to this game. I m not sure about the IOS user.
How to play?
This is the first page. I usually play the **Hourly claim** and **Playtime OfferWall** because in my opinion this worth spending time in comparison to the other. I once tried the ****AdGem OfferWall****, I did earn but it took a lot of my time therefore I chose the other two option I mentioned earlier.
Hourly Claim.
If you can get this silver, it will let you earn a little bit more with the gold level.
This is the gold level. If you land on the **golden B** it will let you earn a little bit more. See below.
There will be a minimum threshold setting. You can set this manually or it is set to the second-lowest amount in defaults.
Playtime Offerwall.
see below. There will be a few options of the game that you can choose to play. Most of them are games that I used to play on Facebook before but did not earn anything for years. I wish I have known all of this sooner but at least now that I know it, I am glad and thankful.
**Look at the red circle** I made. You can choose which game to play that will benefit you more. I do not lay this all the time as writing here in read.cash worth more once the article is recognised by the Random Rewarder. This game is just an extra thus I think it is worth to be shared with all of you.
Remember to allow your device to track your game. **It might take some time** for the points from playing games to be credited into the main application before they will be automatically withdrawn base on the threshold you set earlier.
You can also promote your referral link and earn passively from your affiliates.
Download the app here. https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=2387996&game=7&pf=2
Bitcoin cash(BCH) seem to be getting famous and more reliable nowadays. Seize the chance before losing it.
Bitcoin Cash(BCH) Vs Bitcoin(BTC). Which one is a better choice?
I read of some country that has stores accepting Bitcoin Cash(BCH) as payment. I do not have any of that here. None that I know. I keep on earning Bitcoin Cash(BCH) through a few platforms but most of it, I earn here in read.cash.
Getting to know BCH has improved my life a little bit. Why?
With Bitcoin Cash(BCH) the transaction fee is a lot cheaper compared to the earliest cryptocurrency that I know which is Ethereum(ETH). After knowing ETH then I slowly getting to know Bitcoin(BTC) and aim to earn as much of it as I can. Every time I earn a bit of BTC or ETH, I will need to exchange them into my fiat currency before I can use them. Sadly, most of the time when I transferred those cryptos into Remitano Wallet(the only wallet that I can use to exchange my crypto to fiat) the balances will become a lot lesser than the one I send.
If I send 0.015 ETH the amount left will be 0.014 ETH only (this is only an example). I lost 0.001 ETH paying the fee.
With Bitcoin Cash(BCH) the fee is much lesser and exchanging it is more profitable especially compared to Bitcoin(BTC) which is in my opinion very expensive. I know the reason is reasonable but then I no longer want to invest in something that will make me lost half of my savings for a transaction. It is not that I reject Bitcoin but as I am now, I do not think that Bitcoin is the one for me.
Thankfully I get to know read.cash and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). It gave me a new hope in making cryptocurrency as my early pension plan(EPP). My earning is not too big but it does not mean that I should give up.
Another principle of mine, **"I should never give up until I have given my all".**
I have never realized the transaction fee until the last hard fork. I have been losing a lot to the transaction fee. Being able to do the transaction independently made me proud of myself but then I regret not paying attention to the amount of fee I need to pay for each transaction. If only I realized it earlier I might have been able to reduce the amount I lost.
Well, lesson learned. Regret will bring me nothing more. The only way left to go is forward.
On my way journey to pursue Bitcoin cash(BCH) through this platform, I get to know Nexo wallet. Nexo made the Bitcoin Cash I earned become more worth saving (This will be another story to tell).
Therefore, Bitcoin Cash is a better choice compared to Bitcoin(BTC) for a beginner like me.
How do I earn more Bitcoin.cash will also be in my next articles.
Let me know your opinion in the comment below.
