Joining the Arrrmada and Discovering the Piratechain.

These past few months have been one hell of a discovery ride, since I made the decision to attempt the path of financial independence together with @kaliphae.

As we are planning to leave the EU and try out living a slightly more nomadic life, we have set our goals to achieve a certain level of financial income as we get ready to set sail on the road.

This has brought us both to HIVE, where we find a community driven with the same focus on sovereignty and self-sufficiency on so many levels as we are and equally enriching in that the things we enjoy sharing seem to find resonance here more so than any other place I have found myself in before.

As we settled into HIVE, I ventured into the $CUB craze and have since invested enough to be earning 2Cub a day, that is not bad passive income over a month with such a daily rate. So far all of that is going into my den which makes me 0.2Cub a day now.
I will not touch CUB for the coming months. I am hodling those investments. I onboarded @kaliphae too as I learned more about the platform and felt comfortable, that yes this is something worth investing in.

Then recently I was watching a video by the @dollarvigilante in which he mentioned the PirateChain with their $ARRR token. I didn't need much looking into it before realising this is the only true privacy coin on the market, it offers a level of anonymity that even puts Monero into the Shadows. I immediately got a wallet on Pirate.Black and invested some BCH I had lying around. I bought 14Dollars worth and now 2 days later it is at 43$ worth. Not only that but I discovered the best crypto payment gateway ever for setting up direct payments without a middle-man thanks to the Piratechain.

I was tired of all the half-baked solutions that required centralised entities to accept crypto for me for my products. Cryptocurrency-Checkout beat them all. And thanks to it, we have revamped our entire Website and made our Products and Perfumes exclusively available through Crypto. We no longer sell our Products on our Site in exchange for FIAT. We have a small side-store on etsy, but we will feature only samples and testers there. Our High-End Products sold only through Crypto.

I discovered all of this through Arrrmada, which is a directory meant to help discover merchants that accept $ARRR for payment. After spending the past days setting up the entire site to accept crypto, I had our Website successfully whitelisted and added to the Arrrmada! My soul being as much a mystic as also pirate I felt proud joining the Fleet of Pirates.

Furthermore the checkout tool allows setting up cool features. I set it up so that depending on which Crypto you choose to pay with, there are discounts offered on the final sale price. 15%OFF when using $ARRR , 10%OFF when using LTC and For ETH due to the High Fees there is a 15%Penalty added to the Sales Price for example. I loved this functionality and it gives you an easy HTML code that you can integrate even on the most basic of sites.

The ease of setting up ARRR as payment option, not only makes it the best privacy token, but the most functional one as well, since it is traceless. It is as good as doing a Cash transaction with someone in terms of privacy, perhaps even better. I honestly believe that once some of the big BTC hodlers get wind of it and realise the superiority of the technology to any other coin out there, there might end up being an exodus migration from BTC to ARRR. Since so many have gotten rich with BTC but they all face the fear that its total transparency offers in the face of all the upcoming attempts at centralising and regulating the crypto market by governments and our corrupt banks who are losing more and more power with each day that crypto grows. All those people are dying for a True Privacy Coin, add to that the function that it is easy to set up for payments and services, it now is even more functional than BTC, who doesn't want that?

I also sent a submission to Cryptocurrency-Checkout asking whether they would consider adding HIVE to their Crypto-Payment Gateway, since I would love to also accept HIVE as possible payment option for my products. Once goods and services begin to be exchanged using crypto instead of FIAT, we will begin to see a revolution sweep the globe in which the corrupt monopolies and government mafias of the world will simply lose power by the loss of all value in their Fiat-Currency system. Different cryptos are not competing against each other, but they are all tools that we are buiding cooperating together to build a decentralised world in which we simply extract and take away the power that those keeping us in perpetual war and slavery have held on too for so long.

I leave you with a great video in which I found a lot of interesting information regarding Piratechain. Having been busy exploring all of the above rabbit holes and also still recovering from my tick-induced medical crisis caused me to be a little absent from HIVE.
