Why Do I Keep My BCH Earnings As A Secret?

Please, allow me to write using two different languages. Both English and Filipino, for me to be able to state what's in my mind more detailed and clear. <3

I was one of the many people who was not aware of the crypto world at first. I don't know that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) do exists, same as the noise.cash and read.cash.

Until, a friend introduced this to our circle of friends way back in high school and up until now. I didn't join first because of the hectic schedule in academics. I let it subside first before asking my friend that I wanna join already.

It was on the second day of January, present year, when I first made my first read.cash account. It was also the same day when I first got to know BCH, some means on how to earn it, and how to save it. After a few days, I was later on introduced to noise.cash. Which I thought that I joined on January 2 but I was wrong because it was by January 11. Haha!

At first, I found it so difficult to earn BCH. I just can earn twenty to thirty pesos or less than $1 a day or sometimes lower. But, I strive until the once two-digit a day earnings became three-digits. Though, it was really not easy for me. But, I still managed and was now still a so active user of noise.cash. And, read.cash, maybe? XD

How did I managed my BCH earnings? All of my weekly earnings was eventually converted into PHP every Sunday mornings. I was aware that it's not a very good move. But, I am not that knowledgeable before. And, it was a cycle for over six months (January to June).

Post. Earn. Hodl for a week. Convert. Repeat.

But, I decided to make a change through hodling much longer. I was now more determined to be a 1BCH Hodler or even more than this, if God's permits. And, I started it on the very first day of July, 2021. In just a month, I was able to earn and hold a total of 0.31 BCH. Much more bigger than what I expect.

But, unlike most of the BCH hodlers out there that their parents or relatives known about them earning BCH? On my side, my parents don't know it. They don't know that I make a living by posting contents in noise.cash and writing articles in read.cash. I kept it as a secret for over eight months and I hadn't think of saying it to them. Why? Why do I kept it as a secret?

Here's some of my clear reasons:

In this part, I will be using both English and Filipino language.

Reminder: The next part will be more on ranting. Please, bear with me.

Don't want to be pressured.

If they will know that I was earning with just using my phone and laptop, I know that there will be a big possibility that they will nag me out. Asking me so many questions. Questions like, how much do I make here? How? Is it legit? Can you cash out? Cash out now and again and again.

Kumbaga ba, mapi-pressure ka na sa kakatanong nila. 'Yung tipo na bawat hawak mo ng phone ay naka-bantay sila at mamaya lang ay sumisimple na pala at humahanap lang ng tamang pagkakataon. It's okay if they will ask random and series of questions to me because they want to learn and try this out, too. In this, I will be so willing to guide and teach them with all the learnings that I know and have. But, if it just to simply make a move to take advantage on me? No.

I'm afraid.

Afraid? Of what? There are two things that I'm afraid of to happen if they will know that I was handling some money, aside from those that comes from my scholarships and tutorials.

First, they will ask me to lend them some money. On this matter, I was not pertaining to Mama or Papa. I was referring to Mama's siblings. I was so afraid that once they'll know that I have money? They will immediately ask to borrow some of it. Just like what usually happens whenever that I'm gonna have my allowance from my scholarships. We will buy our needs on either morning or afternoon and just some hours after we got home? My younger sister will go to me saying that, "Ate, pahiram daw ng pera mo si Tita or si Tito. Bibigay din daw sa sweldo." Just, what? At first, I was so willing to let them borrow because I know that they really need it. But, when I got to know their karakas? Which was the "borrow and won't pay back" culture? I already had learned my lesson. Yes, I sometimes feel guilty because I somehow think that I was so cruel and selfish. But, I witnessed how our parents got problematic because we sort from our budget. At sa mga panahon na iyon ay 'di ko sila matulungan. Kasi saan ako kukuha? Wala. Kasi 'yung dapat na itatabi ko na para sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? Napupunta sa kanila ng libre kasi 'di naman na nila papalitan. 'Di naman ako selfish 'diba? Natuto lang ako.

Second, I don't want my family to just depend on my earnings in here.

Want to save in a silent mode.

I want to be profitable in silence. I don't want them to nag me out. I don't want them to pressure me. I just want them to think that I was just simply using my phone for my studies, social media purposes, in Wattpad, and such. Because if they will know? I will be pressured. I will be afraid. You see, my Mama's siblings was not like those other who doesn't care on my earnings. They care, a lot. They care because for them, they will also benefit from it. They care, because I make money. This is why I want to keep it for myself.

Less pressure and fears? Means, the more happy and free that I could be. <3

To surprise my parents.

I want to save in silent because I want to surprise our parents. 'Yun bang tipo na saka lang nila malalaman kapag malaki na ipon ko dito. 'Yung tipo na saka lang nila malalaman kapag pwede na akong magpundar ng sarili naming lupa. 'Yung ganitong mga datingan ba.

Ah, ngayon pa lang nai-imagine ko na itsura nila kapag nangyari 'to. 😍

I'm grinding for our family, not for the whole clan.

It's for our family. So, that I can get some when there will be an emergency and for our future. Because this two was my biggest reasons why I do not tell it to them. Kasi wala naman kaming ibang makukuhanan sa mga ganoong pagkakataon. Lubog din sila, mas lubog pa kaysa sa amin. Mas lubog kahit na sila 'yung sumusweldo ng 5-digits kada buwan. So, ito ako. Sinisimulan nang mag-save para sa pamilya namin. Para sa buhay na gusto naming makamtan. Para sa future namin.

This article was not a healthy article to read. For me, it was more on a rant. To the point that I was thinking that you won't like this work of mine. Kasi halata namang nagra-rant lang ako. Well, I just want to release some of the bad thoughts that are circulating in my mind. I don't want it to poison my system. So, I need to release it. Please, don't bash me. :)

Not because I don't want them to know my life with BCH, noise.cash, and read.cash means that I don't want to share and spread the awareness about this three. I spread it to my friends and was also considering to start spreading it through some social media platforms like FaceBook.
