Billionaires and their fuss about web3 So we have recently seen some banter between ex-Twitter and current Square/Block CEO Jack Dorsey and the technoking of Tesla/SpaceX Elon Musk and they both seem to agree on the fact that ~~Vulture~~ Venture Capital involvement means that users don't really own Web3. Jack Dorsey says VC involvement means crypto users don't own Web3 — and Elon Musk seems to agree (msn.com) https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/jack-dorsey-says-vc-involvement-means-crypto-users-don-t-own-web3-and-elon-musk-seems-to-agree/ar-AAS1jbO?ocid=msedgntp I actually agree with their sentiment but I definitely think that there are exceptions to the rule. A lot of the crypto platforms have received a huge amount of funding either from one single individual or one corporation which at the end of the day is expecting profits after a certain time. In that sense, the users don't really own the web3 platform. But I do believe that VC companies like a16z need to pump money into projects like these, take their profits and get out of the way to make the platforms grow organically going forward. I think the exception to the rule is Hive. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think there was any VC funding for Hive and it is by and large completely user owned. https://d.buzz/#/?ref=potta So while there are a mix of VC funded web3 platforms and solutions and completely organic ones, I do believe the VC funding is needed in these early stages as long as these companies get out at the right time and leave the platform to grow by themselves. What is your opinion on this? Where do you stand in this debate?

It’s that time of the year! It is that time of the year when for more than half of the world population, the weather gets very cold but the festive season begins. A lot of people dream of a white Christmas and this symbolizes the emotion in one great piece of art work. This is a snowflake! If you have any pictures of the festive season or Christmas please do share with the world!

My Physical and Mental Health Week (12/6-12/12) I am trying something this week and hopefully if this discipline continues, I am going to try and continue this routine for as long as I can. I am sharing this so that others can possible benefit from it. If you find this useful, please do drop a like and share it with your friends and family. I have been having a very hard time managing the stress of work and life around me recently and I have decided to try the following this week and see if I can manage this schedule consistently for a while. I will try to do the following this week. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every day. This includes no sleeping late. I am not going to be awake after 11pm at any cost no matter what exciting content appears on YouTube/TV/Odysee. https://odysee.com/$/invite/@codingclips:d 10-15 mins of meditation every day. I will try to fit this in somewhere during the day. Walk 10,000 steps every day. I'll try my level best to fit in a HIIT workout for 20 mins every day but realistically I will try to get a HIIT workout for 3 days of the week at least. Work without stress. I am going to focus only on work when i'm working and not do other things and not watch videos etc. Not worry about finances and relationships. I have had some struggles in both these areas but I am going to try and calm myself down and just accept what life has given me and not fight it. I will also put my ego down at the cost of my mental health. Also, no checking crypto prices every few hours for sure. Drink lots of water. I will try to get at least 3 liters of water every day. If I can do 4, that would be incredible but it might be hard. Eat well but do portion control. I tend to pig out when I am stressed out so I am going to try and control that and only eat till i'm about half full. Also I will avoid highly processed and sugary foods. I will evaluate my physical and mental health after a week and I hope to feel much better. I just wanted to share this with everyone if it helps anyone. Let me know what you think. Should I add/remove anything? Also, last but not least, wish me luck!

@potta

Markets seem to be getting into the green. I hope I wake up to greens every day like we used to.

Don't panic!!! India may not be banning most cryptos So there's been a lot of panic in the markets and over many forums on the Internet including reddit etc when the government of India/Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to ban private crypto currencies. There has been huge speculation about this and a massive selloff in the Indian markets subsequently with BTCINR reaching a low for many weeks and most crypto currencies fell by 25% or more and some even fell to about 40% of their value overnight on the WazirX exchange (which is owned by Binance). https://accounts.binance.us/en/register?ref=52278290 Some people are speculating that the Indian government is doing this to bring in their own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which they definitely seem to be working on and it will ban all other crypto currencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum. While there maybe a small possibility that this might happen, here is a more realistic scenario of what might end up happening. According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that all democratic countries should work together to ensure that the crypto currencies don't fall in the wrong hands and the young people of India should not be led into the wrong direction. So this most likely means that the Indian government wants to ban private crypto currencies like Monero (XMR) who don't have a public ledger and whose wallet can never be seen by anyone except the person who holds the seed phrase themselves. The concern seem to be mostly related to money laundering and funding of terrorist activities with funds which cannot be traced. The Indian finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also made a statement today saying that everyone who owns these currencies will be given a timeline to pull their funds out of their exchanges before they implement this rule. In any case, do not panic! This might end up being a good thing overall and India may just be regulating cryptos which is going to be great for the industry as a whole. Even if they end up banning it completely, look how we rebounded from China! If you're in this for the long haul, you should be good!

The good thing about using #hashtags now in #noisecash is that you get the opportunity to post in multiple #chambers in one post. always look at the bright side of everything in #life :)

@potta

I use to earn about 150+ #btc #sats every day using the lolli earn program for just checking in. suddenly they reduced it to only about 15 sats every day since the last couple of days. wonder what happened? https://lolli.com/share/SehjmS8JP5

Did XYO/Coin App drastically reduce their rewards? I have been using the Coin App and earning COIN tokens (which are not on the blockchain) and in turn exchanging them for the ERC-20 XYO token. I also have paid for and have both the SentinelX BLE and the SentinelX NFC and although I don't get to use them much, I do use it when I have some free time. I was also early enough to cash out my COIN to XYO when the limits were lesser and when users were able to cash out at 10,000 COIN but subsequently they raised those limits to 50,000 COIN which now seems like it will take me many years to cash out with my limited usage. The other problem with them is that if a user is not using any of their devices and are just mining coin with no SentinelX devices, it's going to take an incredibly long time for people to cash out! https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/aae5ccf5 I haven't paid too much attention to how the rewards were being given out nowadays but I was shocked to see that the ratio now seems to be that the team will give out 7 XYO tokens for every 1000 COIN tokens! I remember it used to be that for every 10,000 COIN, users would get around 11,000 or 12,000 XYO tokens but this is just ridiculous! I know that the price of XYO has sky rocketed after the Coinbase listing but it's just ridiculous to see the rewards fell from about 11,000 to 7!!! What do you guys think of this issue? Does anyone have more information on this? If you would like to sign up for the Coin App, you can use my link for some bonus tokens on sign up https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/aae5ccf5
