Haha!
It's this thing:
Basically, some of our bigwigs made a new steem platform and gave us all some money to get started on it. I got tiny money on all 3 blogs and powered it up over there - called staking. Now I get a bit more PAL on some of my posts just by using the tag. If you stake yours, your steem votes would give me - and anyone else - more pal.
No matter what, you should at least claim the airdrop, @majes.tytyty. You can sell if for steem and then ignore if you want.
Oh, I got that. A few days ago, @gandhibaba helped me thru the process, and we finally managed to claim mine. Just now, I checked and noticed a tab saying "stake". But I don't know that it means to "stake." Any advice on that? If not, I'll ask gandhibb.
It seems like the bull market has started ... in Bitcoin and other reputable cryptos, as well as in gold and silver. They are all trending upwards, and the way the global economy, fiat currencies are doomed. It might take a few years for major changes to take full effect, but those changes are already underway.
Let's hope we can all make some healthy profits from our diligence on this platform!!
As for life in Thailand, the situation is looking grim for many foreigners. Now that General Prayuut has "won" (read "stole) the election, he and his cohort are clamping down on all the retirees who bring in tons of money each year. The next time these guys apply for a visa, they'll have to have a Thai bank account with 800,000 B in it, and have both inpatient and outpatient health insurance with extensive coverage. Many retirees I know will not be able to afford it, and will leave this country when their current visa expires.
It's such a stupid and senseless move by the govt. Of course, the leaders will not be affected in any way, but many of the local shops whose clientele is 50%–90% foreigners will feel a definite pinch after all the foreigners leave over the coming 10 months or so. Many of them will see their incomes decline precipitously, and more than a few will probably have to close up shop.
I'll probably stay here in CM until my visa expires next April. Then ... I'l find another fine spot in SE Asia.
Staking is powering up, just like in steem. You just have to decide it you want to do that. I did, but my "stake" is less that 300 pal, so who cares?
So if you stake, your stake will give pal to people like me who:
You basically do nothing but will get another stream of curation income.
I've been seeing some fb posts about border crossings that are really bad. Thailand is really cracking down in all regards, I guess. People get pulled out of line who never have been before. I think this is in an effort to kill the world economy in general.
So far it has been smooth sailing for me in and out of Malaysia. I go again in Aug to Singapore and then to Thailand for Steemfest. I hope for only good news.
I'll look into "staking."
And I might see you at Steemfest in a few months. Will see ...
