The Daily Sneak 9 April 2018 - with guest curator @paradigmprospect
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
Today's curation is provided by @paradigmprospect. He always finds the most interesting material. It pushes at the edges of your comfort zone and threatens to change the way you think. Prepare for your mind to be blown!
What is success? Sometimes it's less about achieving what we have been told and more about finding a direct pathway to ourselves - a pathway that allows for growth and seeing things in a different way than we used to.
In this spirit, @paradigmprospect invites you to get a feel for these 5 creative Steemit authors today who are offering their perspectives and knowledge on skill, health, success and discernment in finding truth.
Marvelous Mini Critters
In times where smartphones seem to become chronic shackles for most people it's so cool to finally read about some upsides ;)
As showcased in this post, there are incredible results to be had if you use a smartphone for macrophotography in connection with an external macro lens. If you want to take pictures of things but thought you would never be able to afford the right gear for the job - you really don't have many excuses anymore after seeing what magic @zipporah was able to capture with her phone.
Are You Aware That Your Cells Are Listening To Your Thoughts & The Words You Speak? This is HUGE If You Get It!
We often find ourselves in situations where we mercilessly criticize or even demoralize ourselves through our thoughts and judgments. True, mistakes are a part of life. But isn't it amazing how we do our best to not talk down on the people we love, yet talk down on ourselves so frequently?
@sourceoftruth has collected some powerful insights and mantras you can use to hack your habits and outlook on life. If you find yourself to be your worst critic it might be a very liberating thing to try out - what do you have to lose? <3
Why many people don't value their health until sickness comes
For human beings change often comes when we start allowing it into our lives. For many people this means hitting rock bottom and being faced with a dire situation to reevaluate everything - our habits, outlooks and aspirations.
But did you ever stop to think that self-love might play a crucial role in this development? Do we really have to wait until something bad happens before we can start to make changes in what we eat?
@tonysayers33 points us to some simple yet powerful considerations for eating better - because we simply owe it to ourselves if we want to live life to the fullest
Why various countries are turning hostile to cryptocurrencies?
The banning of cryptocurrencies in several countries is becoming more and more of an issue. While it remains to be seen if (some) cryptocurrencies can deliver on their promise to free humanity from systems of arbitrary middlemen and control, there certainly are some developments that make a good case for their merit. Like being fought by the establishment.
With all the noise coming from traditional positions of authority and officialdom - how solid are their arguments when they deride cryptos? If money-laundering is really an issue for the people at the top - wouldn't that make all fiat currencies illegal? We need a more fact-oriented discussion and @akdx has certainly given a good insight for people new to the crypto space with his article - against the age-old propaganda arguments that are cited as supposedly solid reasons by people in high official positions claiming to only want our best.
Sponsoring Following Minnows To TRY Ginabot!
Since I have heard so much about Ginabot lately but still haven't looked into it - universe says it's time for me now ;) As I stumbled upon @omitaylor's comprehensive overview of what Ginabot is and why people are so in love with it.
And after reading her poignant article I think I may be sold already. If you are new to Steemit, this tool might greatly help you find your way around - and if you are a veteran maybe it would still help you out greatly when you have too many things going on on Steemit to keep track of.

Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Published commentary about articles are the !originalworks personal opinions of the guest curators, and may not represent the opinions of The Daily Sneak or its editor. USD earnings of guest curators are based on market price of SBD at time of publication. SBD prices are subject to change.
Is there any limited reputation of author that can be submitted to this curation @sneakyninja??, because sometimes I found great article from the user that have already had high reputation.
There is not a reputation limit, as long as the content is under-rewarded! We do not highlight anything that already has more than $50 in total rewards.
This looks interesting! Thanks for the update @sneakyninja.
