Our Pick - Reading Suggestions for December 16th

The OurPick encouragement program is the part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation adding value to specific communities, and Hive in general...

Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give additional value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators to follow their niches and dreams...

Fat cows and lean cows in economics by @piensocrates

Times are rough, that's for sure... But, as you said, there are good times, and there are bad times and it's just a matter of time before they switch from one to another...
"Making wealth and knowledge of what money and wealth in themselves are within the reach of anyone, but also the understanding of how important it is that individuals have true control of their money and means of payment, instead of the governments."
This is true and there is one tiny difference between "crypto effects" now and the situation before (without crypto)... The Internet and cryptocurrencies altogether will shape the world completely differently than before... 40-50 years ago, if you were born in some "3rd world country" (or corrupted country), you were intelligent, smart, and hard-working, you still DIDN'T have a chance to succeed... But today, with crypto, almost everyone has a chance, maybe not equally, but still, you can do something!

11 Steps to Heaven by @atma.love

Great idea on how to use old tires and make them usable! The stairs look great and I'm sure it will be safer and more pleasant to go down when it's rainy and muddy...
Great job!

My bad luck. by @oscariart

Sorry to hear that you have lost all the work that you have done in the last year... 😞 If it comforts you, I suppose that that happened to everyone at a certain time, in a certain way... I remember that happened to me at least twice... I was pissed off, and mad at myself, but in the end, I had to start over again... Maybe you should look at it as a new beginning and a chance to do things differently. It's not a loss, it's an opportunity!

A low mana magic defense, meet Haunted Spirit by @sonaker

I think that the haunted spirit is probably one of the cards that I had played most in my whole splinterlands career. Now I tend to use rather Lord of Darkness as a tank. Great post!

If you want to help in project growth, you can delegate HivePower to the @liotes.voter account that upvotes quality posts on Hive. All delegators receive daily returns paid in LEN tokens for their support! Current APR is around 10.50%, which is more than you can earn by individual curation!
