Ethereum Shanghai upgrade — PowerPoint design creation by the author.
As cryptocurrencies gain mainstream attention, Ethereum has emerged as a leading platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and financial transactions. It is currently the #2 altcoin by market cap.
Many novice investors and political pundits (which there are far too many of these days) fail to appreciate that cryptocurrency is still in its infancy. I have underwear older than Bitcoin and Eth...

Type II diabetes is not a life sentence. You might eliminate the need for medication with proper maintenance, but only with your doctor's advice.

Being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes can be overwhelming and scary. However, it's vital to remember that proper management can control and even reverse the condition. If ...

Drug use is a major concern for parents and guardians, particularly as their children enter adolescence. Numerous drugs can have severe side effects and lead to addiction or death.

These common street drugs are available and are more prevalent in Maine. These include Methamphetamines, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, Opium, Morphine, Psilocybin, Rohypnol, U-477...

ETC has enjoyed a crazy run-up in price during the past month in anticipation of the Ethereum (ETH) Merge. Are these prices sustainable? Is ETC still an excellent buy-and-hold opportunity
In this article, I will look at what the “Merge” will mean for Ethereum and Ethereum Classic and the future of cryptocurrency itself.
The Merge will unite the ETH’s tenth mainnet, “Shadow Fork,” with the Beacon Chain to solve what is known as the “blockchain trilemma” of providing scalability, security, and ...

Despite low prices or indeed because of crypto losses over the past seven months, you should spend $100 on each of these altcoins, ADA, FTM, and MANA
Many investors have taken an insane approach to the current cryptocurrency market. They’ve been buying as the prices went up to record highs. Now that they are low, they’ve stopped buying.
They bought various coins and tokens (altcoins) as they went up because those coins were hyped by YouTubers and various crypto “pundits,” and there was a euph...

Many cryptocurrency investors wonder what the difference between FTM and MATIC is. They want to know which is the better investment.
Despite their differences, both are a worthy investment, but do the research and only buy from a reputable exchange.
Cryptocurrency Overview
If you were considering cryptocurrencies to invest your money, the first thing to think about is what type of cryptocurrency in which you want to invest. There are over 2,000 different types of cryptocurrencies. Some curren...

Some of the best adventures I had in my life were in the Army. Considering that I spent 28 years there, you would kind of expect that, wouldn’t you?

When I was headed to Germany from Fort Dix, NJ in April of 1976, the guy driving me to JFK airport had a flat tire and no spare. It took us a while to get to the garage, get the tire repaired, and head north again.

All the while, I was a bundle of nerves worrying about I would miss my flight and be considered absent without leave (AWOL).

By the t...

What many of us neglect to add to our writing schedule are all the other things we do besides writing. Writing is only a small portion of what we do as “writers.”
There’s Always Research, a Little or a Lot
Writing takes a lot of effort. Before you can even begin to write, there is the research. You might spend twice as much time researching a subject as writing about it, depending on how much knowledge you have about the subject.
I usually read two or three articles about an issue before I wr...

Some experts seem to think Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could see their trading prices elevate sharply during the coming months, especially Bitcoin with its halving.
Some of you are rightfully laughing right now as you read this, seeing as how Bitcoin has taken a downward plunge along with the world’s stock markets since the escalation of the Coronavirus. However, if you look back over the previous week or so, you would see Bitcoin kicking and scratching to get out of those holes.
The M...

Many of my friends say, “Ew, you eat Tofu?” I say, “Absolutely!”
I will cook cheesy tofu as an appetizer for many meals! My family and I love it. At first, the kids would turn up their nose, but once they tasted it, they don’t anymore.
Tofu really doesn’t have much flavor on its own, so it takes on the essence of its marinade, sauce, or soup. It is naturally gluten-free with only a few calories per serving. There’s no cholesterol, but it’s an excellent calcium and iron source.
Plus, only 5 gr...

The majority of trucking firms are on the up and up, and want to take care of their drivers. Walmart, for instance, may not pay its cashiers very well, but they pay their drivers up to $90,000 a year.
After all, if not for the drivers, they would not be able to deliver the goods and collect the transport fees. However, there are unscrupulous fleet owners who abuse the trust and respect the driver gives them.
Some crooked trucking fleets are charging truckers $300 to $500 a week to lease a veh...

This is a collection of my 100-Word Stories or Micro Fictions. I am sharing these again so that I could add audio to these. Now, everyone, even the sight-impaired, can enjoy them.

So, we have decided we do not want children. This world is filled with hate. Climate change is killing our planet. How can we survive?

Even if there is a “Battlestar Galactica” type flotilla to take us to a distant planet, what if they say only two can go? Could we make the sacrifice? It is such a difficult choice...
