POW#200
読了時間: 4 分 Exactly a year ago today, I set a goal to write 66 articles in 2023 in order to reach POW#200 by the end of this year: I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t think it would be that hard. But as of June 30, 2023, with half the year already gone, I’d only managed to write 22 of the 66 articles I needed, and I began thinking I wasn’t going to make it. Then I got a much needed boost with the launch of Pay Button. For the first time, it gave people a way to directly pay me for my writing right here on my site. You […]
The reason I want your attention
読了時間: 3 分 I don’t want your attention because I want you to like me. I don’t seek attention because I want to feel special. Truthfully, I don’t want your attention on me at all, but on the eCash project itself. I’m not here because I think I’m a great writer. I don’t host Twitter spaces because I think I have a good voice, or because I’m good at talking. In fact, I hate the way my voice sounds, and always have. So it begs the question, why am I putting myself through this? Why work so hard to for your attention? The reason is because I believe in something: that the world […]

How to earn eCash
読了時間: 2 分 Want to know a secret? There’s a way for you to make money on the internet without having to reveal your identity, providing a bank account, or breaking the law. Money that is borderless and censorship resistant. Money that isn’t controlled by any governments or corporations. Money that was created through code and consensus. I’m talking about the funding that is available through the eCash global network council, or GNC, which has access to a general fund that can be used to pay for various projects to help grow the eCash ecosystem. At the current price, the GNC is collecting a little over $140K per month that can be used […]
My New Space
読了時間: < 1 分 In case you haven’t heard, I’m going to try and host a Twitter space at least once a week and see how it goes. The plan is to talk about something related to eCash and let people come on and ask questions. I’m even offering people 50k XEC as an incentive for them to join the discussion (though I’m hoping there will also be those who come on not for the 50k eCash, but because they have something to add to the conversation). I’m still figuring this out, but I would love for this to grow and become a valuable source of information. I admit I’m enjoying hosting spaces more […]
Planning for Success!
読了時間: 2 分 If you’re into crypto, chances are you’ve had fantasies of what it would be like to go to the moon, aka finally achieving financial freedom. I know I have. I’ve dreamed of finally buying our dream home, of not having to worry about the monthly bills, and of course, giving my notice at work. But how many of us ever think about what we would do with our lives after that? What if you no longer had to work for someone else? If you could spend your time doing whatever you wanted? Some will probably say they’d just take it easy and enjoy life. Read more. Travel, maybe. Spend more […]
eCash and the Attention Economy
読了時間: 4 分 You always hear about the attention economy, this idea that our attention is a scarce and valuable commodity. These days it seems like there’s so much competition for our attention it can be overwhelming. But what makes attention valuable in the first place? Why do people work so hard to get people’s attention? For one thing, we can only focus on so many things at any given time. This is why they say attention is a scarce resource. But attention can also drive economic value. For businesses and content creators, it’s crucial for generating revenue, because the more attention you can attract, the better your chances of achieving success. But […]
Quick Review: Bye Bye Barry
読了時間: 2 分 The other day I watched the Barry Sanders sports documentary on Amazon Prime. If you don’t know the name, he was the star running back for the NFL’s Detroit Lions from 1989 to 1998. For ten years he amazed Lions fans with his unbelievable running ability before suddenly retiring at the peak of his powers without so much as an explanation. Considering he was on the verge of breaking the all time rushing record and forever putting his name in the NFL history books, it came as a shock to everyone. I was still young when Barry Sanders played, so while I knew who he was, I never fully appreciated […]
On Procrastinating
読了時間: 2 分 All my life I’ve been a procrastinator. I’ve always known this, of course, but something suddenly dawned on me yesterday. I came home after a long evening with my family, a nice evening, but a tiring one. I walked upstairs to my office to put my jacket away and saw the messy state the room was in. I’ve never been the neatest person, but this was bad even for me. I picked up a few things and put them away, but that was about all I could manage at that moment. I’ll do the rest later, I thought, and that’s when I said to myself, there I go procrastinating again. […]
