<br>

Welcome to the **211th** Daily Edition of the **Daily Qurator**. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!
 
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03- $5.32!
 
**Note:** some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

[Getting Ready For Bullish Market- My Crypto-Portfolio: Part 2](https://steemit.com/crypto/@andhovesyan/getting-ready-for-bullish-market-my-crypto-portfolio-part-2)
>Recently I had to deviate from the topic, because of some breaking news about Verge (that's why you won't find it in my portfolio). Basically, it shows how important it is to make a proper research before investing instead of following the hype and common FOMO. So let me continue and share my crypto portfolio, which was picked up pretty neatly 

Do you have a crypto portfolio? How's it looking lately? Before you buy into a new, or old, cryptocurrency do you research it? Or just _go with the flow_? @andhovesyan shares how they pick what cryptocurrency to invest in next; and shares their own portfolio with us all in this post.

> There was a string of interesting financial reports from India this  week that appear to be unrelated at first glance, but upon further  inspection, they all seem to be working towards a common goal—an  intrusive big brother surveillance state that tracks every single  financial transaction for every single resident

Is this a new way of the future? Will we call be required to be fingerprinted or use our eyes to pay for dinner? Our bills? You have got to read this post and share your thoughts.

>I have had the pleasure of reading many publications where they reveal the dark moment when they decided to have the name that identifies them in Steemit. Okay, I exaggerate a bit, sure it was not a dark moment, but I like to put emotion to these things. 

Here is another great rendition of of a fellow Qurite's explanation of how they came up with his or her username on the platform. This is a great way to get to know fellow members here. I won't give any spoilers; so you have to head over to @marpa's post to see how the name came about.

[Basic Understanding Of Faraday Cage](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@gokhan83kurt/basic-understanding-of-faraday-cage)
>I do not know how much you want to have a Faraday cage, but if you have it, you do not have to plug and run it! On the other hand, the Faraday cage is not something that is difficult to own. For example, an aluminum foil is sufficient. Having only enough to enclose a certain volume meets our needs. 

What is a faraday cage? How can it help save your electronics in the event of an electromagnetic pulse? Oh so much information to be shared in this post. You have to stop over and read all of it!

## <center>Steemauto Curation Trail</center>

<br>

<center>https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png</center>

<center>RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. 

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using **SCALED** instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P </center>
