Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins only to end up having to make repairs every time there is an update. It's a headache I'd rather not have. Part of the reason I favor Blogger.com is the simplicity of the platform. I don't have to worry about updates. They happen in the background without interruption. Blogger also has a mobile app that lends itself to quick posts while out in the field. And, Blogger works well with other Google products. I suppose I shall have to wait and see if the blog will remain blocked despite having no content. Oddly enough, I was thinking about just using X as a platform for all my media. The idea suffers from the same problem. I would be at the mercy of the platform. However, Elon Musk seems to be waving the "free speech" banner rather vigorously. Unfortunately, I couldn't host my domain there. I'll start thinking of alternatives just in case the Blogger people find something I posted that I may have forgotten about. I did use Minds.com for a while, which had some content about the border crisis, which were really just linked headlines from actual news outlets. But, I think I'm getting ahead of myself. Still, it can't hurt to be prepared.

In this episode of National Podcast Post Month, I'm taking a closer look at the recent announcements from Crypto.com and their potential impact on the price of CRO. While there's been a lot of excitement about the new developments, I'm not convinced that they will translate into a significant price increase. I'll be discussing the following topics: The recent AMA with Kris Marszalek The launch of the ZK EVM chain The popularity of the Crypto.com debit card The importance of market volatility The role of FOMO in driving up prices I'll also be sharing my thoughts on why I don't think the price of CRO will jump to a dollar anytime soon.
