Can you answer this: What is Really Your Cause?

Challenge for this weekend! 😌 Look through the timelines of your FB friends, and determine their 'cause.'

What are they really passionate about? What makes them tick? What preoccupies their minds? Play a game, play shrink!

Moenie bang wees vir crypto-watse-goeters nie, Kindjies-klein

Ek is redelik verbaas - okay ek is nie - oor Afrikaners se onkunde betreffende crypto geldeenhede, die metaverse, en hoe blockchain werk. (Ekself het redelike goeie kennis daarvan, ek adverteer dit eintlik net nooit.)

Ek het netnou op 'n Facebook groep die foto hierbo gesien, en toe hierdie plasing as kommentaar daarby geplaas, en dit daarna toe hier ietwat kom aanpas.

Net omdat die genius Jood Friedman se FTX verhandelingsplatform onlangs getuimel het, beteken nie crypto is sleg of bedenklik nie. Hy het eenvoudig uit gierigheid fondse belê in nuwe startups wat gevou het. Hy het dit voorheen ook gedoen, toe het sy waagstuk gewerk, en het hy en sy venture capital partners groot winste gemaak.

Nou, weens die ekonomiese en politieke klimaat wat uiterste onsekerheid skep op veral risiko markte, het sy waaghalsige streke tussen die digitale pixels deur ongelukkig geboemerang. 'n Paar entrepreneurs se drome dryf nou dood op die Dooie See by Jodeland in baie se nagmerries. Saam daarmee die gelde vanaf FTX om daardie nuwe ondernemings te finansier. 

Mens kan Putin indirek blameer, ja. Tydens ekonomiese en politieke onstabiliteit soek beleggers veiliger hawens as die onstuimige crypto markte op.

As 'n gewone bank sou vou, beteken dit dan alle fiat geldeenhede soos dollars, euros en liras is ook sleg? Nee. (Ons weet wel die ZAR is sleg, kyk hoe val die ding.) 

Tradisionele banke vat ook vet kanse met beleggers - lees: gewone deponeerders wat hul salarisse aan banke toevertrou - se geld, maar omdat hulle peanuts as rente uitbetaal wat hulle terugsteel met bedrieglike transaksiekostes kan hulle verliese absorbeer. 

FTX is nou sleg, crypto nie. Die beginsels agter crypto en blockchain tegnologie is solied. Dis tans nog die Wilde Weste stadium soos nuwe tegnologie getoets en verbeter word, en regulering ingestel word, voordat stabiliteit op verskeie blockchains sal intree soos hulle begin waarde ontsluit.

Hacking a Whole Blockchain to Become Rich Fast

How to become a millionaire overnight? Well, let me tell you how hackers think, and I'll use a practical example as well. I will keep it super basic, and sweet and short.

Cryptocurrency is all the rage now, and will be for the next 8 years until either Putin or climate change destroys mankind. Meanwhile, you want a private yacht and a private plane. Why risk your pelt with an old school bank robbery, when you can steal hundreds of millions of cryptocurrency anonymously from behind your computer?

Free CryptoCurrency: The New Social Media Goldmines outside Facebook

This article is all about getting started with the new Web 3.0 generation of social media sites that are gaining traction like FB once did over the then indisputable leader MySpace. The difference is, this time users are getting paid for everything they do on social media, and they cannot be banned or censored. 

Giveaway: FREE Cryptocurrency to ONLY FIVE People!

 (To skip the reading below and go straight to the free cryptocurrency giveaway, click the image above.)

Ten years ago an unknown guy gave a new cryptocurrency called Bitcoin away. For free. Seriously, here dude, here's ten Bitcoins for you. Hey Sarah over there, want ten Bitcoins?

Well, just a decade later each single one Bitcoin is enough to buy a (small) car with. If Sarah took that free ten BTC she could have paid cash for a new house today.

  As you know, new cryptocurrencies are now popping up everywhere. And just like with Bitcoin, at the beginning they are giving away some of it for free. Some will be useless over a few years, others will be worth gold. It is like a lottery ticket, except when you get it for free now you're not paying for that ticket. So coming up are some free crypto coins for you that may give you a stiffy in five years' time.
