Facebook Changes Their Community Standards Then Retracts After Outrage | EP#135
Facebook recently made radical changes to their community standards allowing for users to illegally call for incitements to violence and post death threats if the individual is considered dangerous by the media then redacted them. Given there are very different political biases amongst varying media outlets this gave way for very dangerous rhetoric. Not only was it still illegal to do so, but they were empowering people to break the law under fringe circumstances. We’ve seen the media smear so many people in a way that this policy would have only escalated dangerous situations into worse ones.
Is your social feed making you feel inspired, connected, and informed? Is it making you feel envious, confused, and upset?
Whatever way you feel about your social media feed, you have the control to change who you are following and what you consume on a daily basis. It’s important to audit your digital life and cut out the negativity where possible and maximize the positive.
Let me know how you’re making an effort to improve your digital well being in the comments below.

I spent some time discussing passive income, staking, masternodes, mining, DeFi, and more with Seth "MineYour.Biz" Estrada. Learn how you can start earning passive crypto today with a focus on mining.
*I accidentally used my webcam microphone, so my audio is awful, I apologize*
As Seth describes on his YouTube channel, his channel is part mining report, part video podcast, part instructional media, and part hands-on building/making/DIY learning. ALWAYS fun!
These are some of the questions we went over:
• Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
• How and when did you originally get into cryptocurrency
• Can you give us a brief introduction to what you cover on your channel?
• What are your thoughts on censorship on legacy platforms and are you using any decentralized social media platforms?
• Let’s talk about DeFi. What’s got you excited in the space?
• How are you making passive income with cryptocurrency?
• What are some of the misconceptions people have about mining?
• What are your thoughts on diversification or are you a crypto maximalist?
• If you had $100,000 to invest into an asset today, what asset would that be?
• So where can everyone go to learn more about you?
Check out https://www.mineyour.biz for more information about him and everything he has going on! You can also find him on many social platforms under @mineyour_biz.

I recently had the chance to discuss Cypherock with Rohan Agarwal who is the CEO and co-founder to discuss wallet security and recovery as well as where they are headed in 2020.
It offers multiple wallet storage, distributed architecture, isolated & cold storage, robust hardware security, multi-currency support, and multi-layered security.
The future is privacy first and decentralized enabled through Blockchain. Personal data will be personal wealth. The current issues with key management pose massive barriers to the adoption of decentralized technologies. We believe digital assets will have exponentially more value in the future and that will just not be limited to Cryptocurrency. Our mission to empower the people to be self-sovereign, trust themselves and to have the same peace of mind and control with their crypto and personal data that they have with their savings in the bank vaults.
A first of its kind hardware wallet that never stores your private keys in a single place and has similar security to that of a multisig wallets for all Cryptocurrencies. A first of its kind seed phrase backup solution that allows you to store your seed phrases offline in tamper-resistant hardware without a single point of failure.
These are some of the questions we went over:
• Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? – 0:16
• How did you come up with the name Cypherrock? - 6:42
• Can you give us a brief introduction to Cypherock? – 7:52
• What are the next big updates for Cypherock to release soon or that are in the works? – 13:17
• Where does Cypherock fit in with other existing hardware wallets? – 15:36
• Where do you see Cypherock going in the next year? The next 5 years? – 18:50
• Will you or any of your team be attending any upcoming crypto or blockchain related events? – 20:08
• Can you share with everyone where they can go to learn more about this? – 20:55
• Is there anything else you’d like to share? – 21:43
Check out https://cypherock.com/ for more information.
Support from the people around will come and go, but your self-worth will last forever.
I don’t say this to be cynical, I say this to be realistic. If you have big dreams, people around you should naturally doubt them. Then it just comes down to who is taking it too far and negatively impacting your life. Getting past those doubts though can be very challenging as you will quite naturally have those doubts as well, but here’s the thing. Your self-worth and how you perceive your efforts is everything. That is what you must build up so that you needn’t rely on other people’s support because people and circumstances change and your life shouldn’t be dictated by how other people feel.
If you enjoy and you love what you do, you will find a way to make it work and the support won’t matter. I don’t need people to support my content if I enjoy doing it because no one supports my playing video games, but I enjoy it. If you can treat your passion like entertainment, then it will be something you’ll do whether or not anyone else even knows you’re doing it.
Focus on getting to a point where you feel internally motivated to do what you do and then keep pushing!

With so many hacks, bankruptcies, and now supposed crypto liquidity issues on exchanges, you should never leave your crypto on exchanges or any platforms other than your own wallet. Let’s talk about Celsius & Solend.
This is my 524th episode/article. I put a great deal of work into this content so if you find it valuable, please do like, share, comment and subscribe!
Recently Celsius halted all withdrawals and transactions from their platform. I know this feeling all too well with Cryptopia locking up over 1 million DOGE a few years ago for me that I would never see again. Some people like myself had to learn it the hard way, but through our experiences hopefully others will learn the easy way.
I’ve said for a long time that to avoid any issues around ownership and truly embrace decentralization you should own your crypto in your own wallet. This means no lending or anything of this nature, it’s not safe. Time and time again we have seen even massive platforms having to halt transactions. Binance recently paused Bitcoin trades and withdrawals for just a few hours.
Coffeezilla did a good breakdown of the Celsius collapse here: https://youtu.be/1nVG8PF4ECU - the main he touches on that I wanted to note was that Celsius had it in their terms and agreements that you were always lending to them and then they were lending out your lent cryptocurrency. This means they had special ways to get around actually having to collateralize your cryptocurrency and made it extremely risky with leveraged lending that is continually lent through multiple channels for the highest, riskiest yield possible.
Recently after Celsius did this so did Babel Finance, a similar lesser known entity that does crypto lending etc. Luckily, Nexo is talking about taking on their accounts, but we will see what happens. With the market in a free fall one has to wonder what will happen to Blockfi or Crypto.com who has invested way too much of their money into marketing while their CRO token has plummeted nearly 90% from its all time high. While most cryptocurrencies are suffering, those leveraged with debt may all come crumbling down and the money used to back that may be lost too. Look no further than Celsius’ pinned tweet - https://twitter.com/CelsiusNetwork/status/1536169010877739009.
The reason I’m writing this is simply another reminder that we need to keep our crypto in wallets that we control, preferably hardware wallets. We do this to avoid any possibility that your crypto could be misused or that anyone else even has access to it other than you.
It’s not even just lending platforms, sometimes it’s the way entire chains operate. This can be seen with the latest happenings on Solana’s blockchain with the proposal to give Solend Labs emergency powers to take over a user’s account in order to liquidate their 170 million dollars worth of SOL. Since this would result in 46% on chain slippage, they want to do it via an exchange. The only way to achieve this would be to literally take the users funds and do it themselves so they are voting on whether or not to grant full emergency powers. Anything that touches lending is very risky and this is so clear to see that even though this is related to lending, the entire chain itself is at risk and willing to give 100% centralized powers over to a Solana entity. This shows how risky anything related to lending can get and why you should stay as far as away from lending crypto as possible. This tweet gives a great explanation of what’s happening with Solana - https://twitter.com/45BillionCrypto/status/1538534849958625280.
The more closely a cryptocurrency is tied to lending, the riskier it is. We already saw this clearly with Terra’s LUNA and the Anchor lending protocol, so it should be clear why something like Solend isn’t going to be any safer.
Don’t learn the hard way, go through the extra effort to secure your crypto. For me it cost almost 100K to learn this lesson, I hope for you it won’t cost anything. It’s always made me cringe to see popular finance gurus recommending people use platforms like Blockfi to earn interest on their Bitcoin without explaining that you could lose everything because of it.

One of the most powerful secrets to saving money is understanding sensory adaptation. You will adjust to almost any increase or decrease in your lifestyle after a short amount of time. This means you will always want more.

02:06 Lifestyle Foundation & Inflation
04:35 Sensory Adaptation

14:40 Conclusion
16:26 Outro
By understanding this and applying the practices I’ve previously described in lifestyle foundation and lifestyle inflation, you can do a lot for your savings and more importantly, you can invest that money. By understanding sensory adaption, you can see exactly how you can cut back on things without feeling like you’ve lost something, and you can avoid the need to buy new things knowing that need will never be fully satisfied.
Once your senses have been exposed to something for long enough, they adjust. This means that anytime you improve your lifestyle and spend more money, you will eventually find that to be the norm. Similarly though, if you pull back and decrease your spending, for example, not eating out anymore, you will find that eventually to be the norm, and save a lot of money.
I’ve previously written about lifestyle inflation & lifestyle foundation here: https://read.cash/@scottcbusiness/lifestyle-inflation-or-lifestyle-foundation-41121595
To summarize, lifestyle inflation is what most people do, where as they earn more money they spend more money and end up with little to no savings or investments. While they may be investing in a home, it may be one they could not afford without depending on their income heavily with little to fall back on. The main concern is that in doing this, you can never get ahead and if you get sick or something bad happens, you could lose everything.
Lifestyle foundation is cutting way down and focusing only on the main things you need to have fulfillment and value in your life and saving the excess to invest with. Build a foundation, and do not upgrade your lifestyle when you acquire more money, save and invest.
How do you save? Do you practice lifestyle inflation or foundation? Let me know what you think about this in the comments below and don’t forget to subscribe!

We need to take precautions and be accountable to our individual responsibility. Too many people hold the attitude now of “don’t tell me to look both ways before crossing the road, tell cars not to hit me.” This is the attitude of rejecting all personal responsibility and putting that on the shoulders of the entire collective which isn’t possible. It’s like saying I should be allowed to litter, but I demand that society at large keep everything perfectly clean, it’s counter-intuitive and if everyone follows that mantra, then it won’t be clean and if we enforce more that it falls to the collective to deal with, it will end up as an environmental cleanup tax that we all pay.
There is no way to void personal responsibility and not give up freedoms to an authority to deal with it instead. This is what always happens when you try to force that the collective is enforced while the individual reigns supreme.
This only lasts so long when the individual has eventually given up all their freedoms and realize that they are not caught in the traps they laid out and have no way out. The movement that we don’t need to take responsibility for what happens to us or that we shouldn’t need to show caution to what environments we subject ourselves to and to how we ensure our safety and security is absurd and dangerous. Wishing the world was perfect simply doesn’t make it so. There is a percentage of society that will be criminals, pedophiles, psychopaths, and more.
Wishing for a better world and or hiding the things we don’t like and pretending they don’t exist really just allows the problems to fester so that we would eventually need to rely on someone else to fix it who may manipulate that reliance rather than learning to deal with them ourselves.

00:49 Social Media Metrics Report
03:45 Earnings Report
19:58 Outro*
My total alleged crypto social media income earnings are now up to $20,483.03 CAD not including crypto appreciation after originally receiving it.
I’m committing to sharing these every month and linking you to my February metrics report PDF: https://ufile.io/qwynltwg or where you can normally find it on my Linkedin profile under featured: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottcbusiness/.
### February Metrics:
To briefly go over my social media results for February, I received around 9,000 engagements, 54,000 video views, 1,000 comments, 5,000 followers, and 401,000 impressions.
### February Earnings:
**Publish0x** – 0.012 ETH – $1,848 CAD = $22.18 CAD + 53.04 AMPL - $1.06 CAD = $56.22 CAD earned from post rewards. That’s a total of $93.85 CAD.
**Brave Browser** – 40.375 BAT - $0.73 from ad rewards and creator donations for a total of $29.53 CAD.
**LBRY** – 7,217 LBC - $0.17583 CAD = $1,268.97 CAD from user earnings, content earnings, invites, etc.
**Hive** – 277.6 Hive - $0.3625 CAD = $100.63 CAD from post rewards.
**LeoFinance** –36.37 LEO - $0.6245 CAD = $22.71 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Read.Cash** – 0.104845 BCH - $641 CAD = $67.21 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Noise.Cash** – 0.017671 BCH - $641 CAD = $11.33 CAD earned from post rewards.
**SoMee** – 14,347 ONG - $0.0197 CAD = $283.60 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Den.Social** – 413 MTR - $0.5078 CAD = $209.72 CAD earned from post rewards.
**DTube** – 14.32 - $0.459 CAD = $6.57 CAD earned from post rewards. 918 DTC = $421.36 CAD earned from airdrops. That’s a total of $427.93 CAD.
**YouTube** - $98.07 CAD earned from monetization
*The grand total came to $2,713.17 CAD which is about $2,151.71 USD. *
### February Insights:
February was a great month for earnings. LBRY continues to perform very well and has consistently been my top earner. I’ve expected to earn less on LBRY, but there hasn’t been a huge dip, so that was good to see. Read.Cash continues to produce good rewards especially with the value of BCH starting to go back up. If I can keep my average earnings above $2,000 or so for the next several months, I’ll be very happy with that. My top consistent earners are Hive with LeoFinance, LBRY, and Read.Cash.
DTube earns me a good amount, but most of that comes from monthly airdrops so I’m not sure how consistent that will be otherwise. I have started to keep my airdrops to build up my energy in order to earn more in the future. SoMee still has withdrawal turned off due to changes they are making to their blockchain but this is a recurring issue with SoMee. I’ll be waiting for their new blockchain so I can sell my tokens right away.
Noise.cash is starting to contribute to my Read.cash earnings and produce a decent amount of BCH. Den.social is the newest up-and-coming platform I am using, and I have been earning a decent amount there. Their token is very scarce, and the platform seems to be pretty interesting The tokenomics are like a merge of Hive and DTube. So, I recommend checking it out and following me: https://den.social/p/f12806063a914cb4adc820eda696e935/
I will continue to share these reports every month to give you a breakdown of what my earnings are to be completely transparent and give you an idea of what you could do if you did the same as me.
What are your income goals? Are you using any of the platforms I shared above? Is this useful and or encouraging for you? Would you like to see these reports every single month to get a better insight into crypto social profitability?

To briefly go over my social media results for July, I received around 6,500 engagements, 68,750 video views, 1,000 comments, 3,900 followers, and 295,000 impressions. I received a lot less engagements this month, but more video views and followers than last month. Things are tracking along well, but my YouTube channel continues to decline after getting my false community strike.
### July Earnings:
**Publish0x** – 7.61 AMPL - $1.22 CAD = $9.28 CAD + 0.11 FARM - $269.38 CAD = $29.63 earned from post rewards. That’s a total of $38.91 CAD.
**Brave Browser** – 3.94 BAT - $0.70 from ad rewards and 4.75 BAT from creator donations for a total of $6.08 CAD.
**LBRY** – 2,458 LBC - $0.036 CAD = $88.49 CAD from user earnings, content earnings, invites, etc.
**Hive** – 277.64 Hive - $0.5125 CAD = $142.29 CAD and 86.198 HBD - $1.25 = $107.75. That’s a total of $250.04 from post rewards.
**LeoFinance** – 56.837 LEO - $0.34 CAD = $19.32 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Cos.TV** – 711.53 COS - $0.0168 CAD = $11.95 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Read.Cash** – 0.1311 BCH - $688.46 CAD = $90.26 CAD earned from post rewards.

**Den.Social** – 39.87 MTR - $0.5 CAD = $19.94 CAD earned from post rewards.
**DTube** – 55.97 DTC - $0.80 CAD = $44.55 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Pocketnet** – 0.1 PKOIN - $16.54 = $1.65 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Yup** – 13.97 YUP - $0.65 = $9.08 CAD earned from post rewards.
**Blurt** – 131 BLURT – 0.00397 = $0.52 CAD earned from post rewards.
**YouTube** - $40.57 CAD earned from monetization.
**The grand total came to $653.04 CAD which is about $507.34 USD. **
*(Over $800+ CAD at today’s value as of writing this)*
### July Insights:
Crypto has been bearish but is now on the uptrend and I believe I will start to see the gains from this. My earnings from July have already appreciated about 20% in value as of writing this which highlights the importance of holding and approaching this with a long-term perspective. This is my 20th report and the more data I acquire, the better the results become. My top consistent earners lately are Hive, Read.Cash, Noise.Cash, Publish0x, & LBRY. My earnings are still way down, but I expect them to start to go up in the August report.
Hive has been performing much better lately with Hive earnings and HBD earnings on Hive which I’ve now begun to track separately. Hive made up the lion share of my earnings in July and I will be doubling down on those earnings by leasing my Hive power and earning passive income which I will report on in my investing report.
I am very excited and hopeful for the future with Torum’s token going live soon, Flote launching a token, Pocketnet evolving into Bastyon and launching many new features, there is much to look forward to. I will be interested to see the day when and if I can finally get access to my funds again on SoMee as well especially given they said they would have everything working again during the month of July, but here we are with no results.
Yup has been very interesting and while I haven’t earned a lot this month, in the next report you will see how I earned over $400 in August using YUP. My main gripe with Yup, Pocketnet, and DTube are that you end up spending huge gas fees to withdraw your tokens and it creates a huge barrier for low earners to exit. Also, with LBRY now requiring more verification to earn LBC, Hive seems to be the most decentralized platform to earn crypto now.
I’m including Blurt and Pocketnet in this report as I want to start tracking everything more closely and I’ve heard great things about both. I will prioritize these more and actively use and track my earnings on them. After 3 reports, if I don’t see better results though, I will drop them as I don’t want to waste your time with platforms earning me $1 a month or less.
