I once had a bad breakup with this beautiful girl named Cynthia. We start dating because we had courses together and thought because we were pursuing the future that we would end of being married.
We had been dating now for about 10 months and really thought we had established good communication and trust between us. I took her to a party I got invited by a friend of mine.
At the party, I did not realize my ex-girlfriend would end up being there too. I had some drinks I do not know why I saw her and gave her a kiss as if I have not seen her in years.
Cynthia saw me and was shocked that I had embarrassed her in front of other people. I followed her to her car and tried asking her for forgiveness. She told me she never wanted to be with me anymore.
I was devasted because how could I have allowed that to happen when we were having such a good time? But instead, the person that truly matter to me and loved me walked away and left crushed because of my mistake.

Binance is investing $10 Million in to a Destablecoin called Helio Protocol. https://helio.money/
This money will be going towards making liquid staking more available on the protocol. Liquid staking means you stake tokens on a network, and then get another token that represents the same staked position.

Well I still do not think XRP is worried about the sec. They think they are going to win the court case and investors and supporters think so with them.

And Gemini that just listed XRP also does not think anything bad will happen. It now has something called 'XRP Faucet' and it going to give away 4000 xrp for next 4 days.

One of the things that my ex girlfriend did not think I could do was mechanic work. And I am not just talking about like changing a tire, changing the motor oil of a car, or the basic stuff.

I am talking about things like changing an axle or changing the brake pads on my vehicle, or flushing out the transmission fluid. And every time she thought I was going to fail I ended up doing a great job because I researched videos on how to do it yourself on YouTube.

At first, I said it was like cheating but not really because it's probably what my mechanic would have done if he encountered a problem

Well now SBF has some more problems he is going to deal with. He has been sent back to US jail after judge said he was witness tampering and his bail was revoked.

Well the first thing I am going to ask him is why did he disappear. He just left many people who can pretend they are him, take his credit for his work he did. Maybe he is a nice man and does not want to have people thank him for making Bitcoin what it is now.

Then I am going to ask him how he feels about Ethereum. And if he would ever do something with Vitalik Buterin. They both have brilliant minds.

Not good but I am not going to be so worried about this. If they are saying it is potentially hazardous it does not mean we are all going to get hit by this asteroid and die. Like in a Armageddon kind of way.

But I am not seeing this in my news and on the tv. If then I do hear more about it I will be scared. It is educational to read this but not going to make me worry about it.
