Our Pick - Reading Suggestions for January 3rd

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...

Created in Canva.com

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...

Without Struggles Success has no Values..... by @nainaztengra

I agree with you that struggle can't be the "measure" of success, but I do think that sometimes we do remember the hard times and because we pushed through, value things more... Yes, HIVE is a nice example of how you can do things that you like and love, and earn in the meantime, but even here we had uncertain times as a community, but also on a personal level...
But, again, it's not all about the struggle... If you struggle all the time, you should change your job and do something else... ;)
Thanks for sharing this interesting point of view!

Another Two Polkadot Crowdloan Contenders! by @bengy

I still have some hopes regarding DeFi as there are some new innovations in that space and we have moved a lot from the starting point that you have mentioned (Uniswap, Compound)... But, on the other side, I agree with you about the quantity of those projects... Most of them are just copy/paste without any additional value...
Regarding Phala and privacy coins, that could be a hot topic this year as I do expect even more pressure from governments around the world on crypto... Monero has paved the road for many others, but there is a lot of space for improvements...

Samsung, creating tech competition - How this will impact the crypto industry by @badbitch

I think that Samsung has learned from the past and companies that have been died because they didn't follow the trend... Being a pioneer, adding uncertain things to your products can be risky, but not adapting to the current trends can be much more dangerous...
Obviously, they know that and that's why we can see them embracing crypto on their phones and TVs...

#45 - One Quick Tip To Save Rentals Using PeakMonsters by @relf87

When renting cards, we take a kind of gamble that we will earn more with the game than we pay for rental fees. Therefore it's very important to keep our costs as low as possible at any time. This tool is a perfect example how we can do that. Thanks for sharing!
