THIS IS FOR YOUNG GIRLS- A letter to my younger self.

I hope you don’t make the same mistakes I did. I hope you learn to be yourself. I hope you don’t follow anybody’s dreams, even your parents. This is your life, be respectful, and polite. However, live it solely for yourself. Carry yourself like a queen who is in command but full of dignity, compassion, empathy and good at relating with people in a respectful manner. 

I hope you learn your voice is oh so important before I did. I hope you learn to tell your truth even if people disagree and it makes them uncomfortable. At the end of the day you’ll be uncomfortable twisting into shapes you cannot bend into because it’s not you. I hope you learn that you are valuable, your opinions, thoughts and ideas matter, even as a child. It will help you shape up to be a responsible adult who doesn’t bow down to others. 

You are a star in your own right, the only you and only you can bring forth your talents in this world. You have something unique and wonderful to offer, remember that. I know you are young, but let that little light of yours please shine brightly. 

I know the world will make you question your beauty, your talents and whether you are good enough. Let me tell you, you are! Phenomenal! Somebody worthy of love, fulfillment and satisfaction. You are worthy of all good, fabulous and special things the world has to offer. Do not discover that in your mid 20’s like me. Your childhood is a chance to learn, grow, play, have fun and become. It’s the time you are free of all adult responsibility. It’s not the time to be worrying about being good or pretty enough for friends, peers or boys. Total waste of time. 

Choose your friends wisely. Do not be friends with people who do not accept, care for you or want you to be better. Friends who steal your joy, peace and happiness from you. Friends who make you feel you have to be more to earn their love or respect. Those friends are childhood ghosts who will steal your childhood and your self esteem. I don’t care how popular or how cool they seem. If they don’t like you for you and affirm, suppourt, cherish, have clean fun with you and help you grow. They are not worthy of you. I want you to get it into your head, you are worthy of only spectacular things. I want you to enjoy friendship and realise it can be healthy, not toxic and that’s the way it should be. A friend should have your back and not play a part with other groups in bringing you down to be liked. Steer clear of such people, when people are young they want popularity. However, you my dear are too precious for other people’s self esteem issues. 

Most of all enjoy being educated. Read, challenge yourself with school work, go above and beyond to divulge all you can so that you can be the best you possible. Being young is the time to explore knowledge, you have all the time in the world and no cares to help you do that. Learn about nature, societies, humanity, yourself, life, money and everything. Keep an open mind and help it grow. 

I wish you heed my advice, I wish you great things and none of my mistakes. 

Love, 

A woman who thinks you’re important enough to advice you.

  6. You may have heard the iconic Staples Centre in Los Angeles will be renamed Crypto Arena come Christmas 2021. This US$700m branding deal is for 20 years, so the name is here to stay. This Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange also has an aggressive billion dollar marketing campaign to “put cryptocurrency in every wallet” and making the Crypto name as well known as Nike or Apple.  ⚠ Trading cryptocurrencies involves risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Cryptocurrency prices can be volatile and unpredictable, and may be influenced by various factors, including market manipulation, regulatory changes, and technological developments. Crypto ran a successful ICO in 2017 and launched its now-discontinued token, MCO. On August 2, 2020, Crypto discontinued the MCO token in favor of CRO. MCO holders were able to exchange their tokens for CRO tokens at a rate of 1:33. Even though the exchange caused some outrage amongst the Crypto user base, many believed that this was the right business move.

    How much Bitcoin can I buy?How much Bitcoin you can buy will depend on your account limit, with higher purchases requiring increasing different KYC levels. The minimum amount you can purchase is $30. Another way to stay anonymous when buying Bitcoinis to use a prepaid credit card you can get at any convenience store or supermarket. For example, Coinmama lets you buy Bitcoin with a prepaid credit card, but your purchase limit might be capped at a low amount ($150) if you don’t verify your identity. Follow these steps to buy Bitcoin on Nexo:  I don’t have a Bitcoin wallet address. How do I create one?Creating a Bitcoin wallet is easy. If you prefer an online wallet, you can start by downloading Trust Wallet, Bitcoin Wallet, Changelly, or any other wallet that supports Bitcoin. If you want to store your Bitcoin in cold storage, you can use Ledger or another offline wallet.
