You are turning on the tv, hearing the recent news and announcements, scrolling in on the news outlets on your digital gadgets and reading every article. Nothing would ever change the fact that your country is in lockdown, and you got no other backup plans to earn money since you can't go to work. Your survival instincts start to kick in, and your subconscious tells you that you should find a way to make your way out of the rules of the pandemic. You find suitable online jobs and freelancing, but your skills are just not up to the client's standards. You're starting to lose hope, but a quitter is never going to win anything, especially when you're talking about your survival. So you look up to the topics of crypto, and you're eyes widen to the sight of the value of BTC. "This can set me up for life," you said. You look back to your savings, and it just doesn't cut it. Besides, trading immediately without knowledge could end you being broke and eventually get showered in debt.
There was just no way that you can get out of your current dilemma until.
You discovered a post in a particular group that there's a way that you can earn cryptocurrency, you get excited because it might be BTC, and you feel like you can earn up to 1 BTC and trade it for fiat. So you click the link the redirects to this website, and you see tons of articles plastered on the screen, and they're rewarded for it.
You thought to yourself that, "This is going to be easy money, I'm just going to put articles, right?"
You register to the site, hoping that this will save you from the pandemic's adverse economic effects. Afterwards, you looked around the simple interface and found out that this site rewards content with Bitcoin Cash, similar to BTC, which has the "Bitcoin" name, but this time it's "cash." You wonder why there would be two Bitcoins, but you shrug the thought and immediately concluded that Bitcoin Cash is the easy money; it may not be pricey as BTC, but it is what it is.
You started to spin articles and immediately posted them; you waited hours and hours and weren't rewarded. You look at others' content. They've been sharing information about crypto, their stories, and poems; even with broken English, they'd still get rewarded. So you look through the depths of the site's archives and eventually got to an article about the rules.
The site promotes originality, and it's a shame that you've been thinking of spam and spun more articles to post. And funny to think that, even just through reading others' written content, you get educated about the things you didn't know.
So you try your luck one more time and write about the stuff you've learned about the experiences you've had in your job, just like an average human making a blog post about life and stuff that goes on through your day.
You eventually get rewarded, and it puts a smile on your face as your effort can help you sustain for at least a day or two.
You got your job back, but you get lesser salaries than before. The platform helped you boost those earnings as months into the site, you eventually got the hang of it. You have reaped what you sowed by giving time to express about everything that suits your content. But, there's this lingering feeling that there's something more than meets the eye. You observed that some users are tipping articles explaining how Bitcoin Cash is more effective than Bitcoin core (BTC). You thought to yourself, "Lol, BTC is better because its value is higher." Still, as you've read the contents of some authors, Bitcoin Cash is more valuable than BTC. BCH values its users while BTC has to suffer from tremendous fees and a network that's pretty much unscalable.
Of course, someone new to crypto wouldn't know of such stuff, but you became enlightened as you withdraw your earnings from this platform, you would realize that it is speedy and efficient.
You realized that this is the definition of being "Bitcoin."
You came to certain conclusions that:
1. Bitcoin Cash has a community that values voluntaryism. (Which is a philosophy that promotes self-ownership and rejects the state. Just like how they fucked the protocols of this pandemic.)
2. Bitcoin Cash is scalable and will eventually become efficient in the long term. (Developers and users that support and follow the ideology)
3. Low fees, user-friendly and usable. (The efficiency and speed of transferring money with such low costs.)
4. Will dethrone BTC. (Bitcoin Core has proven that it doesn't value the sense of what Bitcoin is. Rich people are suffusing it, gatekeeping it, and trick new users into investing blindly. Whereas Bitcoin Cash follows the philosophy and embodies it.)
5. Has the potential to change the economy or, better, the world.
But even with all of these facts, certain people will still fight for what they believe in, even if it's a hopeless case.
You stay informed and become one with the community; The community that concretizes generosity. You get fascinated by the beautiful stories of people worldwide and how certain users use their earnings to help other people. In your opinion, this is what defines life, the sole embodiment of what defines the world as its own. Not controlled, free. Free to express what's in your heart and your mind.
Freedom.
It's like one big circle of reciprocity, and you realize that it signifies the logo of BCH.
The circle of reciprocity, generosity sustains life.
The color of life. Green.
And the center, the philosophy of Bitcoin.
And you're already proud to say that Bitcoin cash is easy cash. It means it's easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to "weigh" in life. We don't have to keep a bunch of papers. 😉
Now someone is reading this article of yours, hoping to be the next to be enlightened as he/she/they create their own story and post it on this platform. You are now one with the circle of life, confident that you walk out of the house and engage life in a new perspective.
It's almost a year that I've been here, and I can't wait for another two months to post my realizations and the learnings that I got from reading and writing. I never really had the intention to dive into crypto until the pandemic happened. I just came back from the mountainside and being in a state of isolation from the city helped me put my thoughts into order.
I've been posting poems and short stories when I recently came here because I think that my imaginations put to words would have meaning, so they did. I’m thankful for @Hanzell and @Charlotte for reading my lame pieces and for my silent readers as well.
My longest story so far: The Chronicles of BCH: The promised usurper https://read.cash/@marcmire/chronicles-of-bch-the-promised-usurper-291092d0
I've been amazed by a lot of people, especially to @MarcDeMesel who's second in line to the RandomRewarder for having the highest tips in this platform and to Simon the developer who is working diligently to sustain this site so it doesn't fall to pieces.
To all top tippers out there and has the amazing content, and the few friends that I known because of this platform. I hope we tread in life with a bright view in the future. Let's keep sharing our stories and share information just like human beings with a certain connection. :D
