Can Bitcoin Put an End to Forever War?

Adoption can change everything. All the real life problems you listed are fiat and inflation related, which is worse than volatility. I believe it's a “temporary” problem. Compared against all the things happening in the world, not just economy, Bitcoin is an island of hope and “stability.” Thank you for your comment 🙏 

Spot on! Bitcoin will have all of fiat strenghts, and none of fiat weaknesses. It's only a matter of time. We won't have to wait too long. Thank you for your comment.

My Top Ten Upwork Conspiracy Theories: True or False

As you read this article Upwork just laid off 21% of their workers to save $60M and boost stock prices by 25%.

How I Got My First 10 Customers for NextLevelJobs.eu (And the Tech Behind It)

Upwork laid off 21% their workers today. Nuff said.

No social media links on the website. You should spread the word.

Refreshing. Remote workers are tired of “freelance triumvirate” Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr.

A real life story. Not a theoretical, but a practical glimpse into the future. Thank you for your comment.

Why Is Upwork Suspending Six-Figure Clients?

If you mean 100+ people per suspended client who have to pay for connects and Upwork Plus membership that recently increased, then I can’t argue your point. Thank you for your comment.

[@RandallEike_u55eo4ro](https://hackernoon.com/u/RandallEike_u55eo4ro) 

“Why the whales were suspended if you don’t believe they violated the Upwork TOS?”

Something obviously happened. However, I only make claims I can confirm/verify. Nobody gets suspended for no reason. What’s the real reason, now, that’s an interesting question. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. 

It’s that time of the year, and it’s that publication where you can write with no fear!

The 'Good Men Project' is Doing Bad Things to Medium Writers

I'm your new subscriber. SF. Art. Poetry. More than enough=)

Your thoughtful comment is my reward by itself. Please don't take that line about the very purpose of writing - literally. Sometimes, I get caught in my rhymes. Guess, I am a poet, after all, lol.

\
To make a decent living out of writing, that's my dream. However, my location limits my monetization, options.

And, here we are. On HackerNoon I'm absolutely free to write my heart out, and above all, my content is free - no paywall. 

Why I Turned Down an 'HR for Happiness' Role in a Top Software Company

I felt it'd be like working in a zoo. Walk around and make all those wonderful creatures in captivity happy. How?! Don't want to sound disrespectful and as someone who's making wrong analogies, but all those talented and hardworking tech people wanted to be free, to work from everywhere they choose. Call me a devil's advocate or trojan horse, but it felt so wrong. And yes, there was that question, 'so what are we going to do now?’ My lady-in-chief, lol. I don't know but it's not gonna be this. Live and work as you write - without lies. Thank you for making it possible to share my story. Vive la remote résistance!

The Advent of BioMechaGenics (BMG) Enhanced

Finally, someone who can take us back all the way to the “harbringers” Croll and my countryman Milankovic of climate-related issues. Wanted to share it on Twitter. Is the account/handle right from your profile. Again, kudos! Got that vibe of the classics SF. Definitely should be continued... 

7 Most Shocking Facts About Upwork Most Freelancers Don't Know

That's “middle men" expert level, lol. Never thought it's" applicable” to the freelance industry. Thank you for sharing. 

Spot on, but some results of my research were beyond shocking for the biggest and most popular freelance platform in the world. 

US Only vs. Work From Anywhere Remote Jobs Problem

Yeah. Different places, different prices. Thank you for your comment. 

That's a legit point, but hear me out. If a company wants to hire for less and succedds, and this remote worker is happy with the compensation - I see no problem. I'd be able to earn more by moving to the USA, some of my friends did it. But, the costs of living. So, everybody has to do the math, both clients and remote workers, no matter where they are. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. 

Thanks for sharing. Definitely worth keeping an eye on it. Hopefully things will change in the future 🤞

What it's really like to try the new AI (read: chatGPT) powered Bing Search?

Cooking a new story. Deep dive. I was too cryptic and ambiguous in my comment. The story will fix it all. Thank you for inspiring me to write it. 

This much I can share (legal and ethical constraints): questions 2 and 3. “Questions instead of/over keywords." It'd be a great story, but... I was a test pilot. Or, in a Shakespearean tone: much ado/AI about nothing.

Did Twitter Suspend ElonJet Over My HackerNoon Story About Elon Musk?

“You’re talkin'/lookin' me” situation at Twitter. Not surprising at all. Thank you for your comment. 

Why Godaddy is low key the most dangerous company on the internet

1) The story’s tag more than appropriate. 2) HackerNoon dot tech - like it! 3) Back in a day, GoDaddy used to be a synonym for web hosting and domain registration. 

The Metaverse is a Sh*tshow

Now, that’s how you write a tech news brief. Useful. Precise. Kudos!

Omori on Nintendo Switch SERIOUSLY Needs a Trigger Warning

Ratings are a big deal in both movie and gaming industry. They’re directly influencing sales and overall success. However, boundaries are important. That should go without saying, but…

Great and important story about gaming @Limarc. Games should be fun, but above all safe and good for our mental health. Spot on with this one!

Factors that Can Give Brand Posts an Edge to be a Top Story — A HackerNoon Editor’s Perspective

Something that every contributor and brand should read before submitting their first story. Spoiler alert: the top story spot doesn't guarantee views. That's how it goes with questions.

Why I Use YouTube as a LinkedIn Replacement

Chris, you left with no choice than to cast my vote for your Noonies nomination with this eye-opening story of yours. Kudos! Ghost of HackerNoon recommends this story! 

But First, Let Me Take A Quote

This is a game-changer @joseh! Yeah, TW and LN nice to have, but more importantly to be able to make quotes using a phone. Currently, I had to make my first HackerNoon story quote using a laptop. Kudos!! 

Why The Majority of Freelancers Fail at Upwork Project Proposals

Thank you for your comment @lewiscarroll.

Upwork in Real Danger of Losing MILLIONS over ONE DOLLAR "Conversion Fee"

There are five ongoing writing contests on HackerNoon. Maybe even more. We all stand a fair chance of winning. You learned something about hyenas. Your biggest contribution could be to share this story, so more Upwork clients and freelancers become aware of what's really going on. Only Upwork shareholders can urge them to change something. They listen to when many voices are heard and all freelancers stand as one. 

The Pros and Cons of an Import Stories Function

Also, it's still not possible to import Quora answers. It's not just me. I talked to some top Quora writers and they're interested in sharing some really good content. The trouble is that you have to copy/paste it with a note where it was first published. Also, we should be able to “export" our HN articles to Quora. It's allowed with a disclaimer that was originally published as an article. Currently, you can only share a link which automatically triggers Quora algorithms and their Moderation Team. 

When I'm importing old stories from Medium, I spent more time on formatting than writing a new story from scratch. 

Every service provider has a “moral” more than a legal obligation to inform their users about significant changes of their ToS. Upwork Terms of Services if printed, would have more than pages than… Just scrolling through all the sections requires minutes without reading. This is a sad moment in the history of freelance industry. I take no pride and joy in “exposing” something questionable in my story. I treat it as a duty, my fellow freelancers have the right to know. That’s all. 

Upwork has its pros and cons. The moral of my story: Read ToS!! This is one of the most important changes, and there's nowhere you can read about it, except on - HackerNoon! Thank you for your comment. 

No paywall. 2nd human rule. Absolute creative freedom. HackerNoon is the future of publishing, and I am blessed to be a part of it. 

Thank you, my freelance friend. They keep repeating that the future of work belongs to freelancers. I agree. It's just harder and harder to survive working as a freelancer. 

I'm blessed! My 100th story on HackerNoon! The perfect alignment of all the writing and publication stars! There's no good reporting without a great publication and top pro editors, period! 

WOW Summit is Coming to Lisbon, Portugal on November 1st

Hacker Noon Editors: Superheroes without Capes

My 100th story is scheduled to be published. I look back, know it's cheesy, but sometimes, you don't choose your stories, they choose you. Sometimes, I struggle because I want to achieve something or it's a tough topic. Sometimes, it just happens on its own. I'm not even aware of what I wrote till it's done. This one is so special to me. It's pure, honest, and spontaneous. I have to tweet it, lol. 

Why Does Amazon Have Low Pay and Poor Conditions When Jeff Bezos is a Multibillionaire 

Thank you for your comment @hermanmelville.

Is Crypto a Missing Link in The Path Toward Star Trek's Moneyless Future?

I believe in the future without starvation, poverty, and illnesses. In tech we trust, @Limarc. Imagine by John Lennon comes to mind lately, more than once. 

The Best SEO is No SEO

Content is the king. Poetry is the queen. You're spot on @asiapr. Kudos! 

Why Targeting Single-Word Keywords Doesn't Work for Evergreen Content

In the gaming universe, I go by the name - CybeRonin 😉

Here's an article I should've insisted on some of my clients to read before proceeding further with the project details. When you know what you're talking about then you write so even SEO dummies, such as myself, can understand and apply it. Yup, here's an evergreen piece of content, alright. Kudos @Limarc!

We're evolving, no question about it. Self-sufficiency or post-scarcity, or both, we'll still need a “transition" tool, a " bridge” to cross; I believe that's crypto. Moneyless society or not, we'll still need and have some kind of economy and production as mentioned in " Trakeconomics.” Motivation is the key. That's why I hope Picard's " prophecy” is more than just a nice phrase and music many ears would like to listen to in the future. Live long and prosper 🖖

Tokyo Game Show 2022 is More Than Just a Video Game Convention

Absolutely! I’m pulling some serious gaming strings to get an exclusive interview with some CS (inter)national stars. Fingers crossed, please!!

I also left after eight years. One of the reasons, I also felt like Upwork was my employer/boss. Thank you for sharing.

Is "Balkanized" Internet The Dark Future of Decentralized Internet?

Spot on @paul-arssov! Couldn't agree more with you. Thank you for your comment. 

Is "Depopulation" of Cryptocurrencies a Necessary Evil?

Knowledge is power. Crypto knowledge is superpower!

You ain't the only one with fingers crossed, that's for sure. Thank you for your comment @lerma.

Why Bitcoin is Not an "Ideal" Ransomware Currency

I'm a controversial writer, but I'm not reckless and without full awareness of huge responsibility. You asked a legit question. I did a thorough research. Sometimes there's a story within a story. Sometimes you are simply misunderstood. My story is a positive one. Hackers should stay away from Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency for that matter. I just remembered a story about a locked iPhone that was essential for some crime investigation. What happened eventually? I don't recall. Your comment made me think. So, I can't thank you for that, lol.

Remembering and Honoring the Cybersecurity Pioneer John McAfee

I think that I wrote something like, books will be written and movies will be made about life and legacy of John McAfee. He was larger than life. Thank you for your comment @lerma.

How to Analyze and Process Unstructured Data in 5 Simple Steps

Welcome to the HackerNoon Community @lerma! I can’t wait to read your awesome stories about the AI!

Exactly @saragpinto. It is one of the prejudices some people still have about crypto. Cryptocurrencies are among the most transparent currencies available. They are symbols of privacy and freedom, not a cover for some shady activities as some people wrongfully think. We need to be more crypto aware. Thank you for your comment. 

Thank you @victordouglas. I had to choose my words carefully because I think it's important to be able to distinguish accomplishments from someone's personal life. I'm not interested in or inspired by controversy, but only by someone's legacy.

Cyber Deterrence is More Important than Nuclear Deterrence

I didn’t say that, it’s a quote, LOL. You’d be surprised how many and much Europeans know about and follow the US politics and economy on a daily basis. “Reciprocity” not at its finest, lol. Thank you for your comment @monicafreitas.

Tor: Love and Cybersecurity Thunder

You have read “The Multiverse of Madness: Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, Inflation & Bitcoin,” haven’t you @cryptomanel, LOL. I’m sharing a know-how secret. So, you “attach” your title to a trending event, that’s to say hashtag on social media, so you can “boost” your story. But, you have been warned, it’s a double-edged sword. Some people online are pleasantly surprised, and I guess, some ain’t, LOL. I’m too “unconventional” (read - crazy) for other publications. One of these days, all those lovely HN editors will just have enough of me =( Sometimes, I wonder, do I write this way because I’m crazy, or I’m crazy because I write this way. But, either way, it’s my way, Sinatra style baby, yeah…

Spot on @victordouglas! I only value and respects, deeds and results more, than words and tweets. For some unknown reason, Muad'Dib comes to mind. Waiting for 'Dune' sequel. 

Alexa.com is DEAD: F*CK the Alternatives!

Thank you @michael-brooks for your comment and especially, your advice. 

I hear you. There’s a “market” for this type of website/service, so to speak. And, you make sense. It’d be nice to have a startup in this field, but only the “giants” of the tech industry have the resources to make it work. Great observations in your comment @automatio. Thx.

41 Best Tweets About SNAPocalypse 

Miranda #20. Sue me. I think it’s a lucid observation. Priceless. 

Thx Monica. Unfortunately, we will never know for sure. But… There are other “metrics,” which are even more valuable and indicative. The number of stories being published and shared. I remember when I saw one of my stories on a Korean website. The power of HackerNoon! You don’t have to join the army, to travel the world. Write a story. Spread the word of peace all over the globe. Peace!!

Thank you, Arthur. It’s a shame. My best guess, based on regular checks of HN on Alexa, while it was still active, our beloved publication is among the top 3K websites in the world. Respect to the King of Slogging!

How Do Comments Work on HackerNoon?

No room for evolution of comments. It’s pure manifestation of creationism, lol. A divine act of HN creation. Perfect! Shared some suggests in my comment to David. 

My note on your “Sidenote: if you think all this second human rule quality curation is bullshit, or just want people to be able to instantaneously comment on your stories, simple toggle YES to Townhall Mode in your story settings.” @David - It’s not BS. It’s a choice, to hear everyone’s voice. I couldn’t help myself to throw a rhyme, lol. Joke aside, it’s awesome. If someone thinks my story is BS, np. I want to hear it. Don Johnson “Tell It Like It Is.” Before I lost almost all of my hair (my ‘sidenote,’ no Alopecia, thus no Will Smith, gimme a beat), I used to look like him, Miami Vice phase. God, I love that song. P.S. In Slack, you make a new line in your message by pressing shift/enter. We should have something similar. Or, we have, but I don’t know how to use it. P.S.2. How’s @monicafreitas using hyperlinks in her comments. What kind of sorcery is that? Using memes in comments?! Sounds delicious.
