Maybe that is one reason why Zanzibar didn't end up ruling the world haha

Thanks for these facts.
I had read about Leonardo Da Vinci and i keep imagining how he did it!

Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other.

It is just insane stuff,write here and draw there,how was he able to coordinate these two independent activities!

He was a genius.

He was a genius for sure!

Great job bro.go ahead.upvote and resteem your story

Thank you, I appreciate your support!

Therefore, during war time crypto and fiat will be devalued but gold and silver remains its value.

Bitcoin gold? hehe

@jwolf how you didn't receive any copy paste claim from cheetah... Because these datas are already up on internet.

That's because I filtered those informations and wrote it by myself, I didn't use copy-paste.

Even I did that but got a comment from cheetah.

You did it wrong :D

How can I do it?

But i don't see him mentioning source in this post
