I Was Sold for $1 Worth of BCH

Alright, I admit that the title may have been too much but well, here you are aren't you? Clickbait works I guess. Anyway I would just like to share how bitcoin cash affected my life since I discovered that I could earn some extra money from it. Spoiler alert, the impact's huge!

Traded for BCH

Again, I'm sorry, I really haven't immersed myself into trading cryptocurrencies, but I traded something for bitcoin cash. It's my social media presence. Before I enlightened with the joy of earning bitcoin cash from this read.cash and noise.cash, I was like many other normal average internet citizen, absorbed in social media. And I was not just using one social media platform. I was on several of them.

Facebook

Of course I am also a user of this gigantic social network. I remember from way back then that I spend the first minutes/hours of my waking hour just scrolling on the endless feed, seeing the same topics, pictures and videos over and over again, but that doesn't seem to bother me. I was on Facebook, everything's good and interesting. I was hooked looking at what my friends posted, and clicking relevant posts. That vicious cycle seems to be for perpetuity. You see something of interest, and then the related posts are interesting, and so on and so forth.

More than the posts themselves, it's also easy to get hooked on the comments by several users. Some are just so hilarious to be neglected. And some are way too stupid they should be illegal.

You hop from post to post, comment to comment and the only way to break the chain is when I have to get up and visit the rest room. And it's sister will take its place.

Instagram

I don't know when it started but I always start to browse my instagram feed when I go to the bathroom. Yeah it's weird. There's just something about the heavily edited and filtered photos that I find quite relaxing. I follow a lot of celebrities, models and public figures on Instagram. It's also filled with athletes and local artists. I started using that to follow volleyball players like Rachel Daquis, Denise Tan, Mika Reyes and others. And I really don't know what that is, but when I click on the "stories" on top of the screen, I am like a soulless person staring into the void and unable to move until all the "new" stories are exhausted. And yes, all I do is look at them, I rarely post anything myself. I just look at things, stuff and you know, the professionally enhanced selfies.

Twitter

Do you still read the paper everyday? For me, it's Twitter. I used to get my daily dose of global current affairs from Twitter. The news are unfiltered and UNCENSORED. Big emphasis on that because, again, they're uncensored. It's not only news that I can get from it, a lot of gossips are also in there. Although I just browse, read and watch in there, it also is really time consuming. I'm like following a thousand accounts on there.

Tiktok

Alright, first and foremost, let me get ahead of you, I am not a "dancerist, "singerist" and most definitely I am not a "tiktokerist". So why am I on Tiktok? Well it's fun. I did learn a lot of small and useful things from there. Recipes, life aids, and technical tips. Also, the dance steps. I could probably groove to a "marikit(gorgeous) chorus or two but lots of the dancing videos there are superb. It's easily to be entertained watching those kinds of videos. But most of all, in all honesty, who can resist pretty girls moving and grooving to the latest hits? I know I can't.

The Trade

Facebook, the app and the messenger. Gone. Twitter, Instagram and Tiktok, gone. Since I discovered read.cash and noise.cash, all I could do was open Facebook, check for important messages and close. I have never bothered opening the others. With all the time that I used to spend on them, I am now using in reading articles and interacting on noise.cash. That decision was easy to make, and the transition was just a breeze.

I gain nothing from those social networking sites but a temporary sense of entertainment. But in these platforms I gain a lot. I can practice my writing, I am nourishing my mind with new and exciting information, mostly about cryptocurrencies and the biggest factor of course is that I am earning in bitcoin cash. Given that what I earn may be considered loose change by others, but still I won't get those amount from staring at FB, IG, TW and Tiktok, even if I wasted all my waking hours on them.

I guess, I could just say, it was a no-brainer, trading my social media attention to earning BCH.
