What Is More Powerful Than Your Words?
By: Doreen Downing
Tags: Public Speaking, Communication, Language, Essential Speaking

Our common language

There is a common language we all share and it is more powerful than words.

The best way to explain this language is to share about my recent trip to Greece.

The phrase, “it’s all Greek to me” ran through my mind constantly.

When I tried to communicate with someone other than a shopkeeper, it was literally all Greek to me. I couldn’t understand anything.

I realized, however, that I did connect with individuals using another language… we “spoke” to each other using nonverbal language. We still found a way to communicate. Sometimes these interactions felt more “real” to me than the verbal ones.

The power of non-verbal language

There is an honesty in non-verbal communications.

A smile indicates warmth. A shrug of the shoulders says maybe. Shaking my head sideways means no, etc.

So, what’s one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to be a better speaker?

They focus only on the words.

When you work on being a better speaker and focus only on the words, you miss that “real” feeling. The feeling that comes from non-verbal communication… almost communion… with another human.

A connection with another person or an audience is made more complete with nonverbal language.

The core of a good presentation is not just the words. Words and what you say are just one element.

You can have the perfect words, but if your non-verbal communication doesn’t match what you’re saying…

…your audience will “hear Greek.”

They won’t understand you. Why? Because your words and what you are really communicating are incongruent, they don’t match up.

When someone is incongruent we automatically do two things:

Stop trusting them, and Tune them out.

Two things you never want your audience to do, right?

Definitely not!

So make sure your non-verbal communication matches your words. I can help, click here to learn more about courses I offer or click here to directly contact me.
Tips to do a good presentation
By: Cristopher Alvarado
Tags: Public Speaking, Tips, Presentations, Business

In any professional enviroment presentations are so common, specially if you develop yuourself in areas like bussines managment, engineering or teaching. but, are we sure our performances are as good as we really want?

Somentimes, when we are getting ready to do a presentation we forget some important things that could be insignificant for us but not for the people who are going to see us. That is why here there are some tips to look like a master in front of people.

1. To become an expert in the topic

The most crucial thing when you are going to present any topic in front of someone is to know about what yo are going to talk, but not just to know about it, you must be able to answer any kind of questions related to that topic, that is important because if you show knowledge it is more likely to convince the others about your arguments.

2. To prepare useful visual aids

Most of times it is a good idea to give to the audience the possibility to see grafics or images that could help them to understand in an easier way what you are talking about and it is also helpful for you in case that you forget something.

It is also good for you to use the aids you prepare. It has no value if you give a power point or a prezzi to your presentation if you do not use it in a correct way. That is why you have to prepare your aids acording to what you need and what you want to make a highlight in.

4. Confidence

Sometimes you could feel nervous about a presentation and it is absolutely normal because we are humans. Youcould start asking yourself about how many people are going to be in the audience or if the topic is well dominated or maybe if youare going to forget about something but you must try to relax and have the confidence that you are going to do a good job.

When the moment to present comes you must forget about everything that can distract you and just do what you prepare with all the faith that everything is going to work as you wanted.

3. Personal appearance

At the moment of doing a presentation it is always important to dress properly. Sometimes you will need to use a suit in case that it is a bussines thing or maybe you can dress casual or kind of informal if the company where you work has that image or culture.

Something you do not have to forget is to look clean, people will not like to pay attention to you if you do not look like a person who takes care about the personal appareance, specially in the bussines world.

5. To get ready

You have to arrive to the place where you are going to perform some time before the hour. It will give you the opportunity to prove that everything works properly and to get used to the space you will have to present, the audio you will have and to prepare yourself.

The last five points are some tips that will help you to develop yourself in front of people as a professional and to impress the people you want. You can also look for more information about this topic, in the web you can find many articles about thos that can give you valuable information.
Make Public Speaking Your Strong Suit
By: Medium Clients
Tags: Public Speaking, Fear Of Public Speaking, Wellbeing, Tips

It is no secret that some people are secretly terrified of public speaking, while others take to it like a fish to water. But I would challenge everyone to beef up their public speaking abilities, because you never know when you might need it.

Public speaking is an important skill, as it allows you to express your views convincingly when all eyes are on you. I’m not saying that you need to become well known for your public speaking abilities, but I do think that the ability to be comfortable in front of a crowd is a skill that can further your professional and social life, even (or especially) in this work-from-home age.

If you want to see my other work, please have a look at my website, we specialize in organic shampoos and organic soaps. We use ancient Greek and Egyptian recipes that have been around for hundreds of years and we bring them into the 21st century.

Create opportunities

A friend of mine was absolutely terrified of public speaking. When she became a schoolteacher, she didn’t see herself as doing public speaking, she was just teaching, after all. Months into her teaching career, she was asked to give a speech in front of all the pupils and their parents. When she took the stage, she was surprised to find that she was not nervous at all. All those months of teaching had made her totally comfortable in front of an audience. The lesson here is that we can all get better by exposing ourselves to speaking to smaller groups or groups where there is less pressure. In doing so, we get more comfortable as the audience grows.

2. Never fear failure

Most people who fear public speaking do so because they envisage themselves choking and being publicly humiliated. With this mindset, things will almost certainly go poorly. Instead, think of how great it would be if you could give an excellent speech. Imagine yourself on stage, talking comfortably and having the audience’s undivided attention. Also, keep a personal story or a joke in the bag that you can use at any moment in your speech. Then, when you feel nervous or feel that the audience isn’t fully focused, you can use the story or joke to release the tension and put you at ease again.

3. Breathe

It is simple advice, but so effective. Calm breathing leads to a calm demeanor. When we are nervous, we tend to speed up. This is the very moment you need to slow down. The audience doesn’t want you to fail either, so take your time. Nobody will think it strange if you take a moment to take a sip of water either, just to help you get back to an even pace.

4. Enjoy it

When you worry about public speaking, it shows that you really care, and this is a good thing. We don’t always get to experience nervous energy and adrenaline in our daily lives, so enjoy the moment, be present and feel the excitement. Then use this to channel it into your speech. It is no longer your weakness, but your superpower!

A New Angle (Literally) on Public Speaking
By: Bart Squires
Tags: Buddhism, Confidence, Mindfulness, Public Speaking, Meditation

A New Point of View

The first two tactics are straightforward and simple — further explanation is not necessary. It is this third technique, the new vantage point, that is interesting. Is it a Jedi mind trick on myself? Am I psychologically deluding myself? I do not know.

But I do know that extreme self-consciousness is unpleasant. And it is even more unpleasant when there are 30 or 40 pairs of eyes looking at you. I found envisioning the scene from a different angle was beneficial in terms of relaxation and self-consciousness. Instead of being at the lectern in the front of the class, I tried to see the action, i.e., my speech, from a completely different place in the room: It could have been 20 feet above me. It could have been 15 feet to my left. It could have been the back of the room.

Wherever it was, however, from this different angle, it was, to a degree, like watching someone else talk. It changed things. I took my center of consciousness out of my body and put it somewhere else in the room. This may sound weird and hokey-pokey. It may seem like a crazy, out-of-body experience. However, it worked. The focus went from extremely internal to less internal; in a way, it went from internal to external. Imagining that I was watching myself from another spot in the room lessened my self-consciousness. It was similar to seeing not myself, but someone else, give the speech.

That alters the framing; the paradigm is shifted. Instead of seeing from the normal place, the eyes and brain inside my skull, I was “seeing” the action as another person in the room. I thought of it as watching a short film. And I was just a character in the film, a character who was giving a speech or presentation at the time, but just a character nonetheless. The paralyzing self-consciousness decreased when I did this.
How I overcame my Fear of Public Speaking.

Tags: Public Speaking, Self Confidence, Stage Fright

1. Seeing others mess up their presentations boosted my confidence

April, 2017. Final semester of my Bachelor’s. We are supposed to give a presentation to our teachers, about a project we did. They will judge our work and award marks at the end. Some of our classmates would be in audience as well(judging as well, but thankfully not responsible for awarding marks).

This was a solo assignment, no group presentations. So I was on my own, so I got nervous as usual. A mild panic attack, thoughts of running away on the D-day and hoping they’ll just let me get away with it, etc. spring to my mind. But I had to attend, this was a compulsory assignment. So I worked on the PowerPoint presentation, and started rehearsing a few lines to say for each slide.

Cut to presentation day, I managed to give a good-enough talk to impress my teachers well enough. Somehow, I ended up being relaxed and calm during the talk. But what made me calm and relaxed? It was the fact that several of my fellow classmates F’ed up their talks!

I was No.10 or 11 on the list, so I first had to watch others give their talks. And a lot of them messed up. Particularly, I remember one guy just stood there with his hands behind his back, and made his speech in such a monotonous tone that it looked as if he was mindlessly reading off a teleprompter(personally, this is my reference to How not to give a talk). When I saw my classmates give such talks, it just struck me like lightning: I just knew that I was not as bad as that. I knew I could easily do better than what I’m seeing others do. I knew my subject well enough to answer any questions posed by the teachers, I was just nervous that I would stammer or forget my exact words. But seeing others mess up their talk, and getting criticized by the teachers gave me the confidence I needed!

I know it sounds wrong to say that I fed off the failure of my fellow classmates, but that is the truth. It just struck me that there are others who aren’t that great at public presentations as well, and are going through the same struggle as you are. I realized that none of us had to give any presentations in college until this final semester, and hence our weak presentation skills were now getting exposed. It made me realize that this “fear of public speaking” is not as bad as it seems, especially since others too are going through the same fear and hence there is room to improve and do well.

So there you go…that was my first real “motivation” that I experienced that made me realize that I can actually do better than a lot of people out there when it comes to public speeches.
I think what you’re describing isn’t really “pick me” behavior but being into activities not…
Tags: Womens Rights, Feminism, Culture, Psychology, Misogyny

I think what you’re describing isn’t really “pick me” behavior but being into activities not usually associated with your gender. I applaud all women who live unapologetically & embrace their passions!

That term (“Pick me ass bitch” to be exact) originated from the behavior of misogynistic women attempting to gain men’s approval by creating a distinct “atypical woman” category, of which they proudly belonged and other women were seen as fierce competition. You can hear the “pick me” woman loudly proclaiming how they “aren’t like other girls” before they proceed to trash their bf’s ex (“I would NEVER ask you to do that”). They are hyper critical of behavior seen as feminine (“I don’t know why those girls need to wear so much makeup, I get ready in one minute”) or stereotypical (“unlike other women, I looooooove sex 24/7”).

The motivation is to appear “drama free” and “cool”, to not make (extremely reasonable) demands, to not be high maintenance- basically, to be more appealing to men. It’s trashing our sisters for the “prize” of the male gaze. That antiquated mindset of us being in competition with each other (usually for the attention of a dude nobody should date anyway) is the issue, not the “pick me” term.

I think we should call out this toxic behavior and if we need a catchy phrase to draw attention to it, I’m down.

The most popular trading pairs on Uniswap right now

DappRadar reveals the most popular trading pairs on Uniswap

Uniswap is a fully open-source decentralized exchange (DEX) that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. The Uniswap dapp is the number one application in the DEX category by trading volumes tracked by DappRadar and has become a favorite for many. Thanks partly to its fee distribution to liquidity providers and tokenless model.

Key Takeaways

Uniswap showed positive trading volume trends in Q1 2020 with growth of 264% in March 2020 compared to January 2020

Uniswap is the most widely used exchange with around 400 possible trading pairs

ETH/DAI-DAI/ETH, ETH/USDC-USDC/ETH, MKR/ETH-ETH/MKR hold 73% of the total trading volumes in Q1

ETH/HEX-HEX/ETH is showing a huge spike in trading volumes. Holding 12% and 7% of total Unsiwap trading volumes in April 2020

According to 24-hour data ETH/HEX is the top trading pair on Uniswap at the time of writing

Top 10 trading pairs on Uniswap

Trends of the top six trading pairs on Uniswap

During Q1 2020 the ETH/DAI pair has gained a clear leadership position reaching between 1 and 2 million USD in daily trading volumes. With highs of more than 10 million on March 12th and 13th. On the other hand, the pair lost their position in the middle of April 2020.

ETH/USDC stands in second position with a contribution of 10% to the total trading volume. This trading pair has gradually increased having made its entry into the market in Q1 2019.

During Q1 2020 ETH/USDC has shown peak trading volumes in the month of March. Specifically on the 12th and 13th March, when more than 5 million USD was observed. Clearly due to the Black Thursday events.

Ethereum sold perspective

Ethereum bought perspective

New emerging pairs

ETH/HEX is the top trading pair on Uniswap according to 24-hour data at the time of writing. Early signs are positive, but HEX’s token value is still less than $1.

Uniswap 2.0

Uniswap v1 only allowed trading pairs to exist between ERC 20 and ETH tokens, meaning users needed to route every trade through an ETH token. This feature, while still allowing for conversion between any two ERC 20 tokens, meant that all trades had to be mandatorily routed through the ETH token, increasing the fee amount and slippage potential.

Uniswap v2 will remedy this, by introducing direct ERC20/ERC 20 tokens. This will help liquidity providers, by allowing them to bypass the ETH token and maintain direct links with less volatile tokens.
How to Buy a Token on UniSwap Exchange
Tags: Uniswap, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Crypto

This guide is to show you how simple and improved buying a token on UniSwap is.

UniSwap is a decentralized exchange launched in November 2018, it is the 4th most liquid exchange just below Binance & Bitfinex, with a liquidity of $68,000,000 . The exchange grew so fast, and still isn't listed on CoinMarketCap.

If you would like to learn more about how UniSwap works, check this guide: https://docs.ethhub.io/guides/graphical-guide-for-understanding-uniswap/

In this example I will use PARETO, an ERC20 token used on the Pareto Network, to explain how it works:

UniSwap has listed PARETO on uniswap.info, think of it as a decentralized CoinMarketCap and Binance combined. Where any token can be listed and traded without permission. Automatically creating a new page for many tokens. Here are the custom URL’s for PARETO that are relevant to the buying & selling process:

Pareto UniSwap page (where you can find info about PARETO on UniSwap): https://uniswap.info/token/0xea5f88e54d982cbb0c441cde4e79bc305e5b43bc

Pareto Exchange Address (where you can view PARETO liquidity): https://etherscan.io/address/0x2d7c5a8067e2d9ee3f39f3b269bab1962b0137ef/

Pareto Token Address (where you can view PARETO transactions): https://etherscan.io/token/0xea5f88e54d982cbb0c441cde4e79bc305e5b43bc/

Pareto UniSwap Exchange (where you can buy or sell PARETO ): https://uniswap.exchange/swap/0xea5f88e54d982cbb0c441cde4e79bc305e5b43bc

Ok, lets get started … first head to uniswap.info

On the top part of the homepage we can see the total market liquidity, volume, and transactions

On the lower part of the homepage is the list of tokens ranked by liquidity, instead of how CMC ranks them by market cap.

Head back up again. On the top right side of the page you can use the search bar to search for your desired token, such as PARETO

The PARETO page should pop up,you can see the UniSwap automatically customizes the color of the page based off the color patterns of the token’s logo, so cool.

each token has its own custom URL for the info page: https://uniswap.info/token/0xea5f88e54d982cbb0c441cde4e79bc305e5b43bc

As well as a custom URL for the buy/sell page: https://uniswap.exchange/swap/0xea5f88e54d982cbb0c441cde4e79bc305e5b43bc

At the bottom part of the PARETO page we an see the latest transactions, we can see that a buyer swapped 0.0003 ETH for 100 PARETO and another seller sold 10 PARETO in exchange for 0.0001 ETH

Head back to the top of the PARETO page, you will notice a buy button that will allow you to buy PARETO instantly.

Choose the amount of PARETO you would like to buy, say 1000 PARETO

You will notice an exchange rate of 0.000002 ETH ~ $0.0005 per PARETO token. Sweet, I’ll buy 1000 PARETO for $0.50 .

After choosing the amount, choose the MetaMask wallet. (Note that you can buy PARETO from Coinbase wallet as well)

Confirm the transaction, and you just bought 1000 PARETO. That’s it, no permission, no hassle. You can use the token to use your favorite dapp or invest in new projects.

YouTuber accused of engineering multi-million pump n dump via Uniswap
By: Omgfin Exchange
Tags: Uniswap, YouTube, Blockchain, Pump And Dump, Cryptocurrency

The YouTuber denied accusations he has rug-pulled on his followers whereas declarative that Million token may be a “social project” that “should not be thought as an investment.”

An ex-Google tech lead and YouTuber with quite 1.1 million subscribers have been suspecting of engineering a multi-million dollar “pump and dump” scheme.

Patrick Shyu identified pseudonymously as TechLead on YouTube, launched the Million token (MM) via Initial Dex Offering(IDO) on leading decentralized exchange Uniswap on July 1.

The project’s website describes Million as a pre-mined cryptocurrency with a fixed supply of 1 million tokens that are backed by one USDC every per token. The website emphasizes that despite solely being backed by a $1 million value of stable coins, MM has “no most price.”

After being priced at $1.00 on launch, MM saw a mammoth 3,500% increase within three days to hit $36.87 on July 4. The worth has since crashed, declining by 58% to sit down around $15.26 at the time of writing.

The immediate crash that followed Million’s worth high has led to accusations the project could be a pump and dump on Twitter, with user “DCF GOD” lightness the big sums of liquidity that had been forced from Uniswap by a similar address that minted MM tokens.

“By removing liquidity and not selling, he is effectively commerce while not ‘selling’. this fashion he does not have to be compelled to tell the community that he sold whereas all of them bought, he simply must hold his initial promise of keeping 1m of usdc liquidity,” they argued.

Shyu well-versed the thread, labeling it “absolute FUD,” arguing: “This is virtually, however, liquidity works in Uniswap V3 […] liquidity ranges are created, you virtually cannot know the other method.”

Popular commentator “ChainlinkGod.eth 2.0” commented that TechLead had fully incomprehensible DCF’s purpose, stating: “You’ve created a ‘get made quick’ scheme thus you’ll dump on your followers, you have value-added liquidity once the worth is low and removed it once the worth was high and profited the distinction in $USDC.”

Shyu printed a YouTube video on July 6 addressing the accusations, denying that he “rug-pulled” investors by removing liquidity. However, the YouTuber additionally emphasized that mm “should not be thought of an investment,” describing the project as a “social experiment:”

“Million tokens shouldn’t be thought of as an investment by any means. this is often a social experiment and extremely pure speculation, it’s quite a game for us to envision what happens with this, quite like Dogecoin.”
Trade BURN using Enjin Mobile Wallet
By: Burn Token
Tags: Burntoken, Uniswap, Ethereum, Enjinwallet

This guide will show you how to trade BURN tokens and add liquidity to the BURN pool utilizing the Enjin mobile wallet.

Why would you want to add to the BURN liquidity pool? Firstly, to lower the price slippage in the BURN market, the bigger the pool the better pricing for all BURN community members. Secondly, until you remove your liquidity (which you can do at any time), you earn a proportional share of Uniswap’s 0.3% fee on any trades made between BURN, ETH & other listed ERC20 tokens.

Enjin Mobile Wallet

Open your Enjin wallet and click the menu icon on the top left hand corner and navigate to the ‘DAPP BROWSER’ link.

2. dApp Browser

Once in the browser navigate to the “Browser” icon, top right corner next to the search icon and input our website, theburntoken.com.

3. Trade Burn

Scroll till you see the “TRADE BURN NOW” tab and tap it.

4. Portal (Uniswap)

In this example I am going to trade 0.05 ETH for approximately 11,260 BURN.

5. Confirm Payment

Once you have clicked the “Swap” tab you will get a payment confirmation tab, click the bottom right, which details how much ETH you will be swapping. Confirm your payment by inputting your password and then just wait for the transaction to be executed on the Ethereum blockchain.

6. Liquidity Pool

Click on the “Pool” tab on the right hand corner to add liquidity to the BURN pool. In order to add liquidity to the pool you would need both ETH and BURN. Click “Unlock” next to BURN to allow Enjin wallet to interact with the token and confirm the transaction.

7. Add Liquidity

In this example I am going to add 0.04 ETH and approximately 8908 BURN tokens to the BURN liquidity pool. Once you are ready, click on “Add Liquidity” and confirm the transaction.

8. Pool Details

Under the BURN token tab, you will see all details about the BURN pool:

Exchange Rate = The current rate of 1 ETH to BURN ratio. Current Pool Size = Total amount of ETH and BURN in the liquidity pool. Your Pool Share = Your total contribution to the BURN liquidity pool detailing the amount of ETH and BURN you have added, expressed as a percentage.

Happy BURN trading!!!
Issue #1 — Shibetoshi Weekly ‘Dogest’
By: Shibetoshi Nakamoto
Tags: Uniswap, Binance, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Memes

This is the first issue from the Dev at the $SHIBETOSHI project.

Whats covered in this issue:

The launch of $SHIBETOSHI

Introduction of $SHIBETOSHI

Milestones achieved so far

The launch of $SHIBETOSHI

$SHIBETOSHI was stealth launched into the early hours on the 11th June 2021. Upon launch the Dev limited buy orders and increased in stages within the first hour as we gained more and more holders very quickly. This was to ensure a fair launch and prevent snipers/bots taking the majority of the supply early on. This seems to have worked well, as considering we launched at a very low liquidity of 5k USD we have been relatively stable and not extremely volatile for something of such low liquidity.

Within the first 24 hours $SHIBETOSHI grew in value massively and surprisingly held well above 1000% higher than the launch price.

Introduction to $SHIBETOSHI

Shibetoshi Nakamoto is a meme token built by a single developer, but grown and adopted strongly by the community.

Parodying the creator of Bitcoin (Satoshi Nakamoto) we came up with the name Shibetoshi Nakamoto presuming that this is the true creator of the great Shiba meme and Bitcoin fork — $DOGE.

The token itself is a 9 Decimal ERC-20 token that introduces unique features that bring it intrinsic value.

At the time of writing this article the Total Supply of the token is 881,946,325,264 and decreasing upon every transaction.

Anti-dump mechanism: We introduce cooldowns into our token with a maximum price impact of 3% per sell, this is in order to prevent large sell offs and whales manipulating the token price. This has proved effective in the early days of $SHIBETOSHI where we have had reduced volatility and strong uptrends.

Deflationary Mechanism: Upon the creation of the token, the lead Dev immediately burned 10% of the supply, which seeded the deflationary mechanism, as holders sell, a portion of the tokens sold get redistributed to all holders including the burn address, as a result - the burn address grows and the circulating supply decreases.

Locked Liquidity: Initially the lead Dev locked liquidity for 30 days, but since we established long term investors quickly, we have extended the liquidity lock to 10 Years! Liquidity has been locked with Team.Finance

DexMex V2 — Summer start. Dexmex has undergone a lot of progress…
By: Dexmex Official
Tags: Uniswap, Dex, Cryptocurrency, Demex, Defi

Dexmex has undergone a lot of progress since the start of its launch :

The first UIs and its mechanisms which were then transformed to allow people to receive fees from the platform in a more efficient way. The improvement of trading, the multiple partnerships and the first contests, which notably allowed the best trader on dexmex to earn 28'000 usd and finally the charts and the usdt pairs which made their appearance a month ago.

However, these advancements do not yet define the DexMex platform correctly. There are still many changes that Dexmex needs to have in order for the platform to finally be the largest leveraged DEX in the cryptosphere.

To achieve this goal, the DexMex team has issued a summer plan, which aims to straighten out the platform and make it shine throughout the crypto community !

This summer plan contains many stages that we will see in this article, note that these stages can all happen at the same time, or on the contrary can happen at irregular intervals. So are you ready? Let’s go !

L2- Allow people to trade with close to 0 fees

The L2 is a significant obstacle on DexMex.

Planned for early May, the developers had a lot of trouble to put it in place. With our new developers and a bigger team clients will be able to benefit from trading with the lowest commissions of DEX. L2 will be based on matic.

Mechanics: Trade in leverage, yes .. but in the right way

We have found that DexMex’s CFD mechanics are complicated for normal investors to understand. We want leveraged liquidity mechanisms to be simplified.

To achieve this we will add the DEXM pair, which will greatly help people to trade more easily. This pair will bring an additional utility case to dexm as it will be fundamental to the platform.

Firstly, people who own DEXM will be able to bring liquidity to the system by pairing the pair with another of their choice and have interest in the volume of ethereum trading (such as uniswap fees).

Then the DEXM pair will allow people to leverage any other CFD token.

Any other utilities on the platform? YES !

P2P bets

We have listened to the community and we are going to set up P2P bets where people define the odds according to supply and demand.

These bets will be available for a few small cap trading pairs. But also for other fields :

P2P — Boxing

These bets will also be available for the next boxing matches, especially between Youtubers and celebrities. We want to cover a maximum of bets that have not yet been made or democratized on certain scenes.

P2P — Fame

This domain is one of a kind on dexmex. People will be able to bet on the popularity of a youtuber, tiktoker or tweeter. Will Elon musk tweeter account grow 30% in 5 months? Bet with DEXM !

This summer plan is substantial and we thank the community for supporting and encouraging us. We can’t wait to unveil all the new stuff!
Introducing 111PG — the sniping bot killer
Tags: Defi Security, Uniswap, Security Token

Sniping bots ruin AMM listings — but for 111 lucky projects, this will no longer be a concern.

For months now, when a project adds liquidity to an AMM like Uniswap for its community to buy their token, the process is corrupted by people running sniping bots. Sniping bots see the liquidity being added in the first block (before the public sees it) and buy up a big chunk of liquidity to drive up the price for the regular public and then dump their holdings on the market.

Sniping bots can easily make $2–3M profit on a 100ETH investment, driving the price up 20x at the expense of the project’s team and community. This forces community members to buy high and to see the paper value of their holdings plummet within minutes. It undermines trust in the project and creates a lot of frustration.

No one was able to solve this problem consistently for every project. Until we did. Our team created proprietary code that for the first time ever is able to prevent sniping bots from damaging product listings. This is the most effective solution on the market — secure and fully customizable to the project’s needs.

The sniping bot problem, along with various issues related to the current state of smart contracts and various market inefficiencies, is so pervasive and problematic across DeFi, that our team decided to create and release to the public a massive product that defends projects and supports the effectiveness of their smart contracts: 111PG. It’s customizable for each project and will eliminate the biggest headaches that startups are currently facing in DeFi. All of this snipe bot protection, smart contract support, and more is now available for projects serious about keeping their listing secure and fair to their community. PG stands for Project Guard. 111 is because we are only accepting 111 projects into our initial anti-sniping bot protection program.

Seeing how helpful this is in preserving liquidity and ensuring a fair listing, a number of projects are already asking us to help. For the 111 projects that we will initially choose to protect and support, we have very diligent selection criteria. More on that later.

111PG was created to solve a big problem in DeFi. And projects are lining up to use its benefits. If your project would like to be considered for 111PG, email us at info@111pg.io

About 111PG

111PG is a project created in response to the problem of sniping bots ruining the credibility of swap listings for projects and thus threatening the DeFi ecosystem as a whole. It’s the most effective solution in defeating sniping bots project after project, making sniping very costly for bot owners but harmless for the targeted projects. 111PG built on that success to expand its services of protecting and scaling liquidity for DeFi projects. It is part of the Dexe Network ecosystem and benefits its community through fee sharing and in other ways.

Stay tuned! Follow 111PG:

How to Buy $XP token on Uniswap V2
Tags: Nft, Uniswap, Gamefi, Ido, Blockchain Game

Hello PolkaFantasy Community!

We’re very excited to announce that our $XP token will be live on Uniswap V2 on 10 September 2021 (9AM UTC). If you’re unfamiliar with this decentralized exchange, not worry! We have provided you with simple step-by-step instructions on how to safely purchase our token.

Purchasing $XP on Uniswap V2

To purchase $XP you must first go to https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?use=V2

Upon launching the app, you will see the exchange platform with the option to enter the token pairs you would like to swap. But before you can get your hands on some $XP, you will need to connect your wallet, which can be done by clicking the “Connect to a wallet” button in the top right-hand corner.

Now you’ll have the opportunity to connect your DeFi wallet. Remember that Uniswap is only compatible with MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase, Fortmatic, and Portis. Ensure your wallet network is set to the Ethereum Network.

After your wallet has been connected, the next step is to enter the currency pairs you wish to swap. We are going to launch on Uniswap V2, therefore make sure that you are trading on the right protocol (https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?use=V2). Select USDT or ETH as the currency on the top of the swap, as this will be the purchasing currency. For the bottom of the swap, paste the $XP contract address (you can find it at https://polkafantasy.com/) and add it to the swap.

DON’T just search with the token name ‘XP’ to prevent scams. And if you find that the liquidity is too low, check again if you are trading on Uniswap V2. We have not put out any official pools on V3, therefore make sure you double check.

Once both tokens have been entered, select the amount of $XP you’d like to purchase in USDT or ETH, check your slippage by clicking the settings icon. Once comfortable with slippage, click swap- and that’s it! All that is left is to confirm the gas fees and before you know it, you’ll be a $XP holder.

Celebrity lifestyle: Seeing yourself as others see you
By: Chiemena Egu
Tags: Growing Up, Positive Thinking, Self Esteem

(doubt this picture has anything to do with this or maybe just a little correlation but A Star is Born 2018 is one of my favorite movies)

From reading novels and watching movies, especially that of celebrities' lives, movie stars to be more precise, one would see how fickle their self-esteem were no matter how glamorous and stunning they were. Bad media made them break down and depend on substance abuse and positive reviews from the media made them become as a child who had finally got his long-awaited candy. But you cannot blame them, can you?

In believing what people say about us, we lose a part of ourselves till we have no idea of whom we are. I read something somewhere that said to grow out of this lifestyle, you had to not dwell on either the positive or negative comments. You have to build your self-esteem yourself and understand your strengths and weaknesses even if it means admitting that you are a sensitive person (this takes a lot of balls I know) but it's called being self-aware.

Self Awareness Doesn’t Stop You from Making Mistakes, It Allows You to Learn from Them– Unknown

Now, we have people who we love and once they hurt us with their words, the words fill our hearts with rage and anger and once they whisper sweet nothings into our ears, our hearts are filled with joy. I get it, we are emotional creatures and no man is an island basically. The trick is,just like what I read, we should not let the good remarks be the only things we live for. Compliments are like sweet wine and we just might get drunk and become needy for more; that's where it all goes wrong.

You want to develop yourself? It's fine, do that. Prepare yourself for both negative and positive comments. I mean, constructive criticism is so very important. You need to listen to the ideas of others. You need to...wait, this is not a motivational speech but really, we need to be kind with our words. I have this friend who told me the fringe hair I made when I was about eight or nine years old did not fit me and I've never worn a fringe wig again because I feel it's going to look really ugly. Even when I tried to, I removed it in a haste. My friend might not have meant it the way I took it as but years later, it still rings in my head.

What I said about building self-esteem? It’s necessary. Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and say positive things to yourself so when people outside say these things to you, you do not look surprised because you know. You are beautiful and handsome and your diastema is cute. My cousin used to tell me about her short friend that would say anyone taller than her is a giant and anyone shorter than her is a dwarf and that was something that worked for her. Yours might be different. Most importantly, whilst trying to build your self-esteem, don’t crumble that of others.
