The Magic of Kindness on Today and the Future

By

I work hard to surround myself with people who are KIND, not just Polite. Polite people never like to offend, and most times, they end up never actually helping you to develop or get better. On the other hand, kind people respectively and constructively challenge, criticize, and admonish you – and in the process put you on the path to success.

Like on this social media feed, I rarely respond to comments which are all polite; statistically, I focus more on those which diverge from my thought processes. Why? In the age we are, it takes kindness to point out someone’s blind spots, and wherever you have such opportunities, put more effort to see if you can extract more insights from the person.

The person who agrees 100% with you by default, irrespective of the path you are taking, may seem to help you, but in the real sense, while making you feel great today (no disagreements), is allowing you to get lost in the future.

Yes,  count your blessing  if your friends and associates are both #kind and #polite!  You will likely win today and also the #future with their support.

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: It is kindness to point out someone’s mistake but do so with politeness.
It’s most effective when managers correct their subordinate in private.
By being polite to him, he won’t feel deprived of his dignity and he will easily accept the correction, a training that you have given to him.

Comment 2: When we mistake politeness for kindness, we lose sincerity. Politeness hides the truth to be nice and prevent confrontation. Kindness does not hide the truth but expresses the truth with care and sincerity.
100% agreement is not kindness, it’s toxic politeness.

Comment 2A: if one agrees with you on any given assertion you make (having nothing to correct you on, simply because they happen to have the same view on the subject matter), does that automatically qualify them as being polite as opposed to being kind? I don’t think so.

Comment 2B: Honesty does not mean that we cannot agree on issues 100%. Agreement based on fact is never wrong, but agreement to please is toxic politeness.

My Response: thanks. “agreement to please is toxic politeness.” That was my reference in the peace. Of course, we can all agree that 1+2 = 3. That is a fact of physics and life. But agreeing fact-free just to please is the issue here.

Comment 3: Nailed it. Ndubuisi. Sharing ‘Departures’ is essential for growth though people need to understand how to do it civilly. As you know from my own work Prof, if I can’t get enough healthy debate traction, I will produce content where I play ‘devils advocate’ even to my own views. ?

YugaLabs is Set to Launch a Skill-Based NFT Game

The most prominent NFT brand Yugalabs, creators of BoredApeYC, Meebits, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, ApeDao and owner of CryptoPunks NFT has released a Youtube explainer video for the latest update on the Sewer Pass and Dookey Dash mint.

 

BAYC has teased a mint since the ‘Trial of Jimmy the Monkey’ video released on Christmas. More details were released on Jan 11 — turns out, the Sewer Pass unlocks a skill-based mint with a ‘Temple Run’-like minigame.

On January 18, Yugalabs will kick off Dookey Dash, a skill-based minting experience through the BAYC sewer. To get in, you need a Sewer Pass. The free claim for Sewer Passes opens January 17. Only BAYC/MAYC holders can claim Sewer Passes, but anyone with a Sewer Pass can play.

BAYC has never collaborated on any of their previous NFT products/mints. Seems unlikely now 10ktf SAM is taking a lead role in the updated Roadmap 2.0. This is a core portion of Roadmap 2.0 released well before 10ktf even began.

I think many believe these are the next “big” blue chip. Including a large chunk of BAYC and Azuki holders. I think there will be a lot more regret at 60 Eth. And you just made the case for why that could happen.

We can never be sure. But it has all the ingredients. Since I’ve been in NFTs, it’s the first one that screamed BAYC level potential. Current price is all art and some speculation. With a roadmap this could. Meanwhile, everyone is stacking grails above the floor.

I don’t know why but my gut tells me GutterCatGang will be tied to bayc/ Otherside and everyone is waiting their turn for their “activation”. I keep seeing/ hearing that word around Otherside. Maybe it is hopium.

Both the Sewer Pass claim and skill-based Dookey Dash will close February 8th (exact time coming later). You get unlimited plays, but play at least once and score more than 0 to validate your Sewer Pass (which is tied to the wallet it’s held in).

On February 15th, validated Sewer Passes will be eligible to transform into a mysterious new power source. (Not a typo — the reveal date was previously set for February 8th, but we’re pushing it a week to validate Sewer Passes first).

Gary will be watching you in the sewer. Sewer Pass holders will compete for the highest score and earn their new power source. The highest single-run score on your specific Sewer Pass and accompanying wallet that achieved the run will determine what it reveals.

What’s this… power source? Gary the Dog Prophet is the one summoning them. He forgot their real name so we just call them that. Their purpose seems to be to evolve and prepare for the battles to come.

Your score will be based on what you collect in the sewer, the obstacles you destroy, and how long you survive. The validated Sewer Pass with the highest score will be eligible to transform into the ultimate… whatever they’re called.

Closing Thoughts

“Dookey Dash”, is open to anyone who holds a Sewer Pass, which will be free for BAYC and Mutant Ape Yacht Club holders to mint starting on Jan 17th.

Stellar (XLM) Fades into Obscurity, HedgeUp (HDUP) Emerges as a Leader

As crypto continues to gain traction and additional tokens are launched to the coin market, several new platforms have caught the attention of significant crypto investors.

HedgeUp (HDUP) is a crypto NFT Alternative Investment Marketplace that has carefully integrated the marketing strategies of all the preceding tokens. Crypto enthusiasts are describing it as “one of the biggest things” to happen to the crypto space in recent memories.

Several experts have highlighted this project’s uniqueness, making it the most loved new token in the crypto market.

This article will explain how HedgeUp (HDUP) might deliver huge rewards by the end of 2023 as most heavyweights like Stellar (XLM) fade into obscurity.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar is a blockchain-based distributed ledger that is designed to connect people and financial institutions worldwide. The goal of Stellar is to increase financial inclusion by creating cheap, accessible, and easy-to-use global payment systems.

The currency of the network is called Stellar lumens, or just lumens. The symbol for Stellar lumens is $XLM.

It’s been a tough year for Stellar (XLM). The cryptocurrency started the year off strong. However, it has gone downhill since, losing 71% of its value over the past year.

There are several factors at play in the decline of the token. One of the key reasons is the declining use of Stellar’s native currency, $XLM.

Lumens (XLM) is used to power Stellar’s decentralized exchange and to pay transaction fees on the network. However, usage of $XLM has been declining since early 2018.

This is likely because most users are holding on to their Stellar tokens (XLM) in hopes that the price will rebound. With the usage of Stellar declining, there is less demand for $XLM, which has put downward pressure on the price.

Another factor that has weighed on Stellar’s (XLM) price is the lack of significant partnerships or development milestones over the past year. The token is looking more likely to fade into obscurity.

HedgeUp (HDUP)

HedgeUp is a blockchain-based crypto NFT Alternative Investment Marketplace that allows users to own a fraction of high-end alternative assets worldwide for as little as $1.

The platform achieves this by minting NFTs backed by tangible physical assets and offering fractions of the non-fungible tokens on sale to $HDUP users. Users can trade their NFT fractions 24/7 on the HedgeUp NFT marketplace.

HedgeUp aims to connect customers with investment opportunities in alternative products such as gold, diamonds, fine art, luxury watches, wine, yachts, and private jets, opportunities that are usually reserved only for high-net-worth investors.

HedgeUp has a long-term vision to evolve into an ecosystem consisting of an NFT marketplace, launchpad, wallet & banking DAO, online master class, investment basket, and the metaverse.

Users who hold the $HDUP tokens can also make a passive income by staking and locking their $HDUP tokens in the treasury via staking events.

The staked tokens will contribute to the liquidity pool and create a strong market and better trading opportunities for the entire community.

With the platform’s plan to list the token on centralized exchanges, the $HDUP token’s price is set to rise further in the coming months.

HedgeUp is currently in its presale stage, where early investors can get the token at a minimal price of $0.009. However, investors’ growing demand and interest are likely to push the price up in the coming days. Early investors could see huge returns on their investments.

This makes HedgeUp an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to make lots of profits in the crypto market.

India’s Reserve Bank Governor says Crypto is purely Gambling, Should be BANNED

By

Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikant Das says Cryptocurrency should be banned in the country, that it’s purely ‘Gambling’. The RBI governor made this known during an interactive session at Business Today Banking and Economy Summit.

In his words;

Technology needs to be supported but Crypto should be banned. Anything whose valuation is dependent entirely on make believe, is nothing but 100% speculation.

Ironic to hear from India’s Central Bank leader who holds the ban lever. “Crypto has the potential of becoming a means of exchange.” We’re not under the radar anymore.

Statistically, India’s Revenue in the Cryptocurrencies segment is projected to reach US$3.33bn in 2023. Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2023-2027) of 15.49% resulting in a projected total amount of US$5.92bn by 2027.

Despite, RBI’s crypto-antagonistic attitude, according to data released by KuCoin, a global cryptocurrency exchange, It is estimated that 115 million people, 15% of India’s total population, currently holds Cryptocurrency, out of that lot, 54% of Indian crypto investors are optimistic about long-term gains.

Gambling part?; a huge chunk of Crypto projects are speculative in nature. Crypto is not only about BTC, ETH, Matic, BNB. Crypto has 15-20K+ tokens in which some are scam and totally speculative without any fundamentals utility cut out for its creation.

Crypto is totally gambling? Definitely NO, when you have a new technology these types of volatility exists and fundamentally Bitcoin and some few assets are strong. So Banning Crypto in India is not the solution as here he’s considering everything as a gambling which is not so.

Point to be noted – Whatever economic policy made by the Government of India, RBI has an important role to play. And I feel when Taxation of Crypto is implemented mutually it’s going to rejuvenate all stakeholders, as regulations won’t deter builders from developing Blockchain scripts for solving societal problems.

Some crypto coins and tokens are scam, but they would obviously disappear as the Crypto Industry matures when people fully DYOR to understand utilities driving a particular Crypto Asset before investing on it and if there’s a clear government’s direction on Web3 and Cryptocurrency Regulations.

No one loves competitors’ and it even becomes more clear when it’s known that the competitor will win in the end. RBI needs to change the way of approach else they will be responsible for India losing out on the 21st century’s Digital Economic Reconstruction.

RBI should learn from countries like El-Salvador, DUBAI and other European countries, who have openly embraced Crypto and Web3 infrastructural development.

Governments’ wants people to keep money in the bank so that they get returns and banks can make percentages from the stock market, inflation rating can’t be imposed on Crypto, hence there’s less opportunities to steal money from the citizens through stiff and hard monetary policies.

Blockchain Smart Contracts will automate contract execution, reducing the need for middlemen. Also, Political masters at the center cannot send unaccounted money to spend during elections.

Closing Thoughts

High Volatility and scams are normal whenever there is an emerging tech which people are still trying to figure out; outright ban on Crypto in India won’t solve the lingering issues faced while trading on it.
