Friendly reminder that time is more precious than money

Posted: 09 May 2018 12:13 PM PDT

When I first got into crypto I was instantly consumed by it and the opportunity's i missed of making some real life gains, so consumed that all I'd ever do is research for opportunities of making some real life gains that I don't want to miss.

Whether that is endlessly looking for fresh news on Twitter and reddit or constantly checking the volatile prices trying to day trade from it, i was hooked.

Don't let the endless chase for money steal you of your most precious asset. TIME time you could spend with your kids, time you could spend telling your parents you love them or however you want to spend your time, time is quick and you should invest in it the most before your time up.

I find it strange that Google are against ICO ads and not showing any support to the cryptocurrency world but they sure making millions of dollars from the advertisements. I made a research of 15 popular words related to our industry and how much google makes per click.

Posted: 10 May 2018 12:44 AM PDT

I made the research on Ubersuggest a free website that shows how much it cost per click (CPC) on Google. 15 random popular words related to crypto:

ICO - CPC $6.54
ICO Registration - CPC $22.99
Buy Bitcoin - CPC $5.46
Buy Ethereum - CPC $4.94
Bounty Program ICO CPC $10.58
I hate Bcash CPC $0
Coin Market Cap CPC $3.84
Bitcoinwisdom CPC $16.99
Ethereum Founder CPC $9.25
Buy Ethereum Stock Wtf, who call it a stock CPC $4.35
Satoshi is female CPC $12.37
Whitepaper Copy Writer CPC $14.14
Moon Bitcoin CPC $5.22
Moon - CPC $0.1
ICO Scam CPC $3.22

Most of you probably knows that Facebook, Google, Twitter, MailChimp and more popular companies started to ban ads related to cryptocurrencies.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/13/google-bans-crypto-ads.html

https://www.recode.net/2018/3/19/17123674/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-advertising-ban-microsoft-twitter-google-facebook-oath-snap

I find it extremely annoying that these companies still makes millions of dollar every day from our market ONLY because they have a monopoly over the online advertisement industry.

It means that even if we don't agree with them, We don't have a lot of choice.
How can WE ban Google, Facebook or Twitter?

By using alternative services. They are much less popular but with our support as a community they might get more exposure.

Use DuckDuckGO and not Google. https://duckduckgo.com/. These guys won't follow you with ads.
1. Support Blockchain Projects that decentralizing Google Adwords like:

Brave (also a great browser).
- KindAds
- Adex

Use alternative to Mailchimp: Aweber, MoonMail, SendX, GetResponse are cool services that you can use.

Visited my first, and LAST bitcoin ATM today.

Posted: 09 May 2018 07:58 PM PDT

I've been without a bank account and cc/debt for five years, ever since I decided that crypto was the future to avoid the money manipulators charging fees for every thing from too many withdraw to too few deposits...

Now that I've seen that almost all bitcoin ATM charge 12.5 percent (and my having to take it in the ass because I'm out of work for the next three weeks and had to eat today by selling some of my portfolio) I am going back to open a checking account because no fucking bank is that ruthless. Fuck your 12.5 you greedy whores preying on the underbanked.

I'm not using a btc atm again until their rates are reasonable and even then I'm never paying a single satoshi to any of the companies currently charging that skyrocket rate.
