Over the past year or so, I've been participating in the writing bounties that Binance occasionally offers... on topics that are both technical (Mathematic or Crypto-related) through to simple market definitions. All of these have paid out in BNB (the native currency of the Binance chain). More recently, I had also been writing about the various coins (history and technical aspects) of the crypto world that are on offer at Binance, mostly for the education of newcomers to the crypto scene. Most of these efforts have met with decent success... And already appears in various parts of the Binance website. I'm always surprised when my writing is accepted, as I don't consider myself to be a professional writer by any stretch of the imagination (although, my wife does tell me that I write decently on boring topics... how is that for a back-handed compliment?).... after all, I'm a musician with a background in Science (at least that is what is written at the top of my blog...).

Still, it has been a nice experience and a decent payout for a skill that I didn't realise that I had... (and something that my wife says that I should pursue as a side hobby that pays as well... even if it is boring and not a good story... and pays mostly in funny internet money....). Anyway, imagine my surprise this morning when I received a private message on Telegram:

Hi, ***** here from Binance...

Well... my first reaction was... SCAMMER!

... but then he started writing about things about my recent bounty submissions and also to confirm that it was purely my own work and not plagarised or anything like that... there was a quick back and forth, and I was telling him how I had written it whilst a touch jet-lagged and on holiday (with family commitments...) and how it wasn't my best work (I was often writing it in the middle of the night whilst I couldn't sleep!).

Anyway, he had said that he had approved most of my submissions... and that he was checking to see if I was interested in further writing for the Binance site?

Needless to say my heart dropped, and I'm so glad that it was only a message chat and not a voice chat! Well... we'll see where this leads... I'm pretty over the moon that they even noticed my writing, but the chance to write for Binance in a professional capacity?

Let's just say that I'm cautiously optimistic and excited... whilst running around the room screaming!

... But I'm aware that it all could turn out to be nothing as well!

Coin Tracking

Looking for a quick and easy way to keep track of your cryptocurrencies? Coin Tracking offers a free service that includes manual tracking or automatic tracking via APIs to exchanges, allowing you to easily track and declare your cryptocurrencies for taxation reports. Coin Tracking can easily prepare tax information sheets that are catered to each countries individual taxation requirements (capital gains, asset taxation, FIFO). Best to declare legally and not be caught out when your crypto moons and you are faced with an unexpected taxation bill (unless you are hyper secure and never attach any crypto with traceable personal information, good luck with that!).

Keep Your Crypto Holdings Safe with Ledger

Ledger is one of the leading providers of hardware wallets with the Ledger Nano S being one of the most popular choices for protecting your crypto currencies. Leaving your holdings on a crypto exchange means that you don’t actually own the digital assets, instead you are given an IOU that may or may not be honoured when you call upon it. Software and web based wallets have their weakness in your own personal online security, with your private keys being vulnerable in transit or whilst being stored upon your computer. Paper wallets are incredibly tiresome and still vulnerable to digital attacks (in transit) and are also open to real world attacks (such as theft/photography).

Supporting a wide range of top tokens and coins, the Ledger hardware wallet ensures that your private keys are secure and not exposed to either real world or digital actors. Finding a happy medium of security and usability, Ledger is the leading company in providing safe and secure access to your tokenised future!
