Is there any you know that not listed,you can share as well.

It's already 27years ago I was staying with my grand parents to look after them for a couple months. It’s about a 14 hour bus trip to get there.Though is a rural area my grand parents lived a very peaceful and lively place which am pretty comfortable living back then.
In the town(current population about 120,000), it’s kind of confusing. So much has been torn down or built up in the 27 years since I lived there.It was really hard for me to locate if note for the help of google map.
One of the mesmerizing things was looking at the people, wondering if they were about my age, and maybe I even went to school with them or something. Then again, there were a lot of people like me who left that town as soon as they could.everything have totally change the buildings,the way they are dressings and lifestyle are not like the old days.
But in conclusion i was really happy to being back home after a very long time that i have been away.

So how long or when last have you visited your home since you left and how do you feel being back for a very long time?

As we can all see how remorseless the russia invasion to ukraine have been and how the fight have lasted more than expected,and also seen countries like America,
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan,Latvia, Lithuania,Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea etc have been supporting the Ukraine.
While other countries like North korea,Belarus, Syria, Eritrea,Nicaragua, Venezuela, Kyrgyzstan,iran,china,india,myanmar,mali etc have also been backing Russia respectively in the ongoing war.
My question now is how long will these powerful countries keep backing russia and ukraine before it decisively eventuate to world war |||?

i so much appreciate lot of your advice and directions most of you guys share in this post and i really learn a  lot from it and am still open to learning more from the ones who are about to comment as well.
But most of us that comment on this post are extremely getting me wrong and i was also target directly,forgetting that i never compose this post for my own advantage,i only want to talk about motivation,using newbie in general in references to the post.
How motivated we should be and what  give us that motivation to work harder in this forum.
And i would also apologize to some of the high ranking that are really piss off about this post,it was never and will  never be for the reason to plead for merit individually.
Am just trying to post what will make most the experience and high ranking to  share your thought and also give your advice to us the newbie.THANKS

yes in most aspect but at the same time no ,the reason for saying no is that sometimes the family,society and environment one found them self may be the main factor deriving him or she from the future they really want to have base on the culture or religion in place in such society.

To my own understanding.Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity.
       The world is more and more interconnected but it does not mean that individuals and societies really live together,millions of men,women,children,poor,rich,whites and blacks have all found them self target with racism in there various societies.
Lets look at vinicius junior being target recently by racial abusers on sunday between match against real madrid vs valencia,some part of the opposition fan called him black monkey,while some say he will die,why is he being target cause he is not the only player on the pitch.

What are the things the world,the governments and people needs to do to stop racism in our society ?

lack of sleep is very dangerous for the body,when one lack sleeping it may expose the body to lot of sickness like high blood pressure,poor mental health and even heart disease.

and all the articles i copied and posted are sensible ones,and not all my post are copied and post just like this one you are commenting on now if you want to state out all my previous posts.as a newbie that i am in this forum am hear to learn and how do i learn is by your advice and direction.
I have no problem with your comments but with due respect the condemning word(shitposter) directed to me cause i posted about motivating newbies in the forum is totally absorb.

i beg your pardon mr am not a shitposter and am not pleading for you to give me merit,i know what i must to earn merit,as you can see the topic i posted is a significant one,as an expert that you are you should give advice to  newbies not using condemning words on me thanks.

As a newbie in this forum,the first thing in your mind in this forum is to learn and comprehend the rules and regulations of this forum.on the other hand still need to work very hard to implement significant thread and contributions to the forum.
 Going through all this process in learning and adapting to the policy of the forum,you(newbie) still have high expect ions to contribute immensely in the forum which also need motivation from the high ranking in the forum.
The more merit you got the more motivation you start generating which make you to strive more and more with your progress in the forum.

My question is are the high ranking acknowledging when a newbie is trying to deliver daily and how hard is it for them to reward such newbie with merit?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially launched his presidential campaign on Wednesday evening, setting out his priorities during a glitch-filled Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk. His statement included familiar red meat for the Republican base, including tirades over Disney and “woke” corporations but also an extended riff on crypto.

“You have every right to do Bitcoin. The only reason these people in Washington don’t like it is because they don’t control it…I think that the current regime, clearly they have it out for Bitcoin, and if it continues for another four years, you know, they’ll probably end up killing it,” he said, while claiming Bitcoin is a threat to the “central planners” in the Biden administration who wish to control everything.

Is Ron DeSantis right about his comments or wrong?

Blockchain technology can bring as many benefits to governments as it does to businesses and the general public. If used properly, it can be deployed to improve services and streamline processes in a way that’s fairer, more transparent, and more accountable for all stakeholders.
The BSV Blockchain Association’s Global Public Policy Director Bryan Daugherty commented in a piece for the United Kingdom’s Evening Standard as a preview for the London Blockchain Conference, which starts next week. He highlighted using automated smart contracts in service provision and solidifying regulatory frameworks, processes that leave an auditable data trail that is difficult to manipulate.
       These benefits can only be realized if a blockchain provides a single, universal stream of truth that earns trust from its users. Therefore the blockchain network must be secure and operate on base protocol rules that don’t change. It must also be able to scale to handle the sheer volumes of data it will process. Bitcoin SV (BSV), running on Bitcoin’s original protocol rules, is the only existing blockchain that combines these conditions with a 14-year performance history. It has the ability to scale unboundedly, meeting the requirements of governments, businesses, finance, and everyday users.

the last movie i watched is emancipation by will smith,the movie was so educative and emotional,i really enjoyed watching it.

The cryptocurrency industry is facing a growing crackdown from regulators around the world. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been particularly aggressive in pursuing enforcement actions against crypto firms.
Although crypto exchanges are not illegal in the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned the sale of crypto derivatives to retail investors in 2020. In China, the government has banned cryptocurrency trading and mining. The regulatory crackdown is having a chilling effect on the industry, making it harder for crypto firms to raise capital and operate.

Michael Saylor, the former CEO of MicroStrategy stated that the recent clampdown on crypto from a regulatory point of view is good for bitcoin. He believes that it will help Bitcoin become stronger, as it should be. “Crypto crackdown is really good for Bitcoin.”

The reason behind his assertion is that the crackdown that is affecting over 20,000 crypto tokens including stablecoins is making exchanges delist these assets. The effect is that users lose trust in the tokens and move their money into bitcoin which is the most decentralized. “Bitcoin is the ethically sound, technically sound, economically sound crypto asset,” he added. “It’s the king of all the crypto assets.”
            He added the strength of Bitcoin is that he sees it as a commodity and not a security. “You can’t serve as global money for the world unless you’re a commodity,” the former CEO noted. Securities are always controlled by an issuer that is made up of a smaller group of people. The more people lose trust in what is available today in the crypto market, the more they will move their money to Bitcoin.

being too contented weakens the soul,it also make you feel less concern to strive for more in life.
One don't need to be more contented cause you have to work hard and fight for your future and your career every single day.you keep on trying even if you have enough.

MicroStrategy is a Pro-Bitcoin US business intelligence firm that has made a major investment in Bitcoin. Its former CEO, Michael Saylor, is a vocal Bitcoin bull and believes the cryptocurrency is a “hard asset” that can protect against inflation and is a better treasury asset than gold. Saylor has defended the investment, saying it is a long-term play and that he is confident in Bitcoin’s future.

MicroStrategy, with a stock that has increased by 130% over the year, has benefited from its Bitcoin investment, Michael Saylor said at the Bitcoin and Lightning for Corporation event that, in 2020, the company had $500 million in cash, showed no sign of an increase in value as well as no projection to increase in the near future. “The likelihood that $500 million in cash is going to be worth 5 billion in cash is zero,” he added.
when we adopted Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset we started by converting $250 million to bitcoin” after which due to the positive market feedback they got in their stock price, they bought another $175 million worth of bitcoin.

He added that they bought another $50 million, and then were able to “raise in succession $650 million in a convertible bond that yielded three-quarters of a percent interest.” This also led to MicroStrategy being able to raise $1 billion “in an equity offering” and more over time.

In essence, the Bitcoin Maximalist said that the enterprise value of MicroStrategy which was at $600 million thirty two months ago is now over $6 billion. With a balance sheet of about $4 billion in bitcoin, Michael said that the company was able to beat the market, did not decapitalize by returning its capital to shareholders, and its workforce was not subjected to work harder than expected to make the revenue the company got.

to my own psychological point of view there will away be beauty and ugly in life cause we are not created the same.but does it really matters? No.
These days ones you are wealthy you are never ugly even though you are naturally,nobody cares.
At that time you are the most beautiful human cause you are wealthy.
