So, I want to start this with the word "So" It sounds more like I have a story to tell and need to tell it to you personally. Maybe there is a secret in here somewhere (?) Some insight that has been overlooked by the millions of other Crypto currency enthusiasts. An old (by now) blogging and podcasting trick.

I signed up with Publish0X around a week ago and thought I would put some words here about Crypto, and my first impressions of using it as a motivation to write more. As I'm not in a financial position where I can justify dabbling with Crypto at the same time as learn how to dabble, I think that this site is a pretty good place for me to enjoy this journey. Earlier in the year, I had also joined Coinbase, and promptly fiddled around with my free tenner (£) to the point that it seemed to evaporate in front of my eyes, I managed to resist the urge to chase bad money with good and deposit extra funds.

For background context; I am someone with a creative mindset. I write music, make videos, write creative and strange posts, teach drumming and like to draw (non-digital but sometimes digitised drawings) I also have a lot of creative ideas and like to challenge people's perspectives. I'm Dyslexic, have ADHD and would be considered by some people to be an Aspie. All of these, I consider assets, but unlike Crypto the value keeps going up.

Having just used the googelizer on the word Crypto maniac, I can see this refers to someone who actually understands it, so the precursor in my title of "naiv" is fitting to my intention. Like many puzzling things in this world, Crypto has caught my attention and my mind is now on a mission to decode all relevant data and bring it into my awareness. De-centralised currency (see already talking like a pro) may be something that I can either use to my benefit or discard as "not for human consumption"

Some points of note.

1. The 0 in Publish0x is actually a zero and not from the alphabet at all. This made initially searching for articles about the site hard.

2. Using the Ambassador linking system seems to be beneficial, but I am not sure how liberally to use them.

3. The Ambassador linking page needs a good video explanation and advice on etiquette.

4. Other sites like medium, hive and other hive affiliated sites are intimidating and overpopulated with irritating restrictions.

5. People who like writing and are creative by nature are more lightly to be strapped for cash, so asking for contributors to turn what little capital they have into virtual cash seems dumb. This is especally relavant when the assumption is you know all the ins and outs of their various franchises and that when you investigate these the navigation of the sites is either so full of jargon that your inferiority complex is triggered. Or, so badly laid out that your frustration turns into abandonment.

6. The names of many crypto mining, NFT, Web 3, Staking platforms, wallets etc are so hard to remember that I'm almost certain that when exploring for the first time and perhaps tentatively signing up they must make a decent whack from people who just plain forget where they have been the night before. It's not like you can phone round the local bars or retrace your footsteps to find that tenner you dropped or phone round the taxi companies to see if your wallet was handed in.

7. Lost funds should be converted to a $LOST&FOUND currency. You're welcome, future billionaire.

I will most lightly continue to use "P0X" I hope it is infectious. I have plenty to say, I can maybe even find some genuine interest I'm my creative work. Also, my immediate friends are less lightly to be responsive to my verbal ramblings when it comes to my half understood interests. The writing and sharing helps me more than any currency is lightly to, but the dopamine hit of getting a little reward is nice.
