Weekly Crypto Dive #1

I wanted to test this out, so let me know what you think.

I share many thoughts in status posts across many platforms and I was wondering if people on the more blogging focused platforms would enjoy seeing a compilation of what I share on any given day or set of days like last week.

As today was jam-packed full of great tidbits of wisdom and updates on various things I've been looking into, maybe you will find this helpful and I can do it more often.

Theta Updates

Why don't we look at the article Theta put out about how they would be working with Samsung and shipping on S20 phones!

Interesting... they deleted it.

If you want to learn more about what Theta is doing with Samsung, check out the page they link via the video link through their partner section from https://www.thetatoken.org/.

It shows you exactly what they offer users.

Again... blank.

That's all for Theta today. Keep up with my posts as I continue to uncover the awful/sketchy project that is Theta which somehow managed to become a top 50 cryptocurrency.

Advice, Motivation, Tips

1. You can blame someone else and have no power, no control, and be subject to the whims of who you blame.
   
   You could also take responsibility even in times when you feel you shouldn't need to in order to see how you can improve the situation. You control the outcome when you take responsibility for it because now you actually have to do something about it.
   
   Whether or not it's true in almost any scenario, it's the mindset needed to actually fix it.

2. That which you do not track, cannot be improved. Your investments, your finances, your health, your time. 

3. Most people end up in one of two categories
   1. Building wealth
   2. Criticizing others who build wealth and doing nothing themselves.
   
   Even with mistakes, unforeseen circumstances, etc. who do you think ends up with more wealth?

4. There is a lot of money to be made with quality cryptocurrencies. It's not a zero-sum game.
   
   UNLESS you are talking about sketchy projects that are likely to be zero-sum games that promise you the world.
   
   There is money to be made there too, but not for you... From you. 

5. You finally get to that point or milestone and you think something will just change, but it doesn't and that's a little discouraging.
   
   Instead, I like to look at it like - Nothing changed because I always knew I'd get there. I always had it in me, so I shouldn't feel any different. I'm the same me.
   
   So then, since YOU already have got what it takes, you won't feel any differently when you discover it to be true.

6. "What if the world ends? Then your investments won't matter, you should enjoy life while you can!"
   
   The world is "always about to end" according to the news. Fear is how you lose wealth or at least how you won't gain any.
   
   Don't make excuses as to why you should be poor

7. When someone gets successful doing "A" and then tries to sell you a course to teach you to be successful via method "B."
   
   You've got to think to yourself, does success method B really have any merit to it?
   
   Like if a famous YouTuber teaches you how to get rich by dropshipping.

8. When you're not rich, they'll say you're inexperienced and have no credibility.
   
   When you are rich, they'll say you got lucky.
   
   The point? Regardless of what you do or achieve, they'll say whatever they say. So do what you need to do. A wrong decision is better than indecision.

9. Don't worry about "becoming rich"
   
   Focus on building a reliable and sustainable income that pays you for the rest of your life. 
   
   The thing is everyone is looking to do it NOW when it's a long term game. 

10. Spending exorbitant amounts of wealth trying to look wealthy only impresses other broke people.
    
    Successful people don't care about your Gucci bag. They care about your skills, ideas, and expertise.
    
    Remember that next time you think about buying something you don't need.

11. Sometimes unlearning something can be just as important if not more important than learning something new. 

Scam Watch Patrol

MISTAKES

A "mistake" is one thing. 

A "mistake" that you don't attempt to solve or at least pay restitution for is another thing. 

A "mistake" that you don't attempt to solve or at least pay restitution for that massively benefits you and hurts others is no longer a mistake. 

Beware Of Scammers 

These spammy scam comments on my YouTube videos are a plague. I get like 10 a day.

You may also see someone comment about how great their life is trading with a professional and then a long thread is created (all fake) of people inquiring and them finally giving the contact info.

Just so you know, if someone is actually making millions of dollars a day, they won't be scrounging through random YouTube videos to comment on to let people know about it.

You would just make your own channel because if it's real, you would get tons of views. They even say they've been scammed before, but this is the real deal. They are literally seeking out vulnerable people.

Censorship Recap

Still blows my mind that Vimeo and DailyMotion censored my videos and removed my channels when I was doing milquetoast interviews with blockchain CEOs. about a year ago. Been having a great time on
the likes of LBRY, BitChute, 3speak, DTube, Minds, and several more instead!

If you want to follow me on some of the platforms I am most active on you can check out everything I'm on at http://www.scottcbusiness.com or http://cointr.ee/scottcbusiness. 

I went back to my http://Cos.TV profile and realize that they have unpublished most of the content they previously had approved for me.

Interesting... Note that they use the Theta network.

Just because they use blockchain tech or offer cryptocurrency doesn't make it decentralized.
