+# Paid Video Call Opportunities for [Nominee Name]? (beta)
+
+
+** I AM SO BOLD and _ME TOO_ **    
+
+**_YEP_**
+
+***YEP*** 
+
+Hey [writer name],
+
+Good news, top Hacker Noon writers can now list themselves for paid video calls via Hacker Noon’s new Meet Tech Experts Program (beta). As a Noonie nominee, I thought you may be interested in joining this program. 
+
+If interested in receiving leads for paid video calls, [please fill out this Google Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSce_si23Kc8Ydmv27J9Z4f_BdwY5VWczKDGtZBGtUPCsbDW0Q/viewform). We’ll review the information and then if sufficient send over an invite to the Hacker Noon network via Superpeer within a week. This program is a revenue share with 75% of the earnings going to the writer and 25% going to Hacker Noon - minus the Superpeer transaction fee. Writers set their own rate and availability for all video calls. 
+
+Meet Tech Experts by Hacker Noon is a beta marketplace. Would be great to list a talented contributor like yourself to start to stimulate supply side demand. 
+
+Kind Regards
+

+# Secrets Of High-Performing Teams: Part II
+
+
+This is our second newsletter in the series of Secrets of Top-Performing DevOps Teams. In the first part, we’ve got to grips with the DevOps approach and the way it has amplified the IT workflow.
+
+Here’s a quick reminder and a short introduction for the unaware:
+
+Tech role has germinated from "help fix my laptop" to "help me become the best." While many dev teams are trapped firefighting, leading teams align with the business, adopt agile principles and automation, and lead the digital transformation.
+
+What’s in it for DevOps, you’d ask? It’s simple: a robust DevOps team facilitates faster development of new products and easier maintenance of existing deployments. 
+
+Read between the lines - agile-based DevOps approach yields an increase in development productivity. And with no silver bullet methods for improving IT efficiency, perfecting DevOps might be your best shot. 
+
+Without further ado, let’s dive into our top picks for DevOps team success.
+
+
+## Hacking Your Way Through to a High-Performing DevOps Team
+
+
+
+### 1. High-performing teams put business first
+
+You’d say, a revenue-first mindset won’t get you the probity medal. However, it’s not our point. In fact, profitability should be your top of mind not for the sake of money only. 
+
+
+Successful DevOps teams are more likely to tie their tech projects to revenue, mainly because it’s the #1 metric for their performance. As a result, teams that are business aligned tend to prioritize projects with business management and use business and tech scorecards to measure success. Therefore, just a simple shift from an activity-driven mindset to a revenue-first approach can guarantee a positive change in your team productivity and overall result.
+
+
+(We’re not implying that you should ditch the customer-centric action, don’t compare apples and pears)
+
+### 2. They assign end-to-end responsibility
+
+Separating development and operations can present potential issues and pitfalls like performance problems and inconsistent environments. In DevOps, both groups cooperate as a team that's completely responsible for a product from beginning to end. 
+
+
+Unlike the traditional approach or a low-performing team, where each team member is accountable for their own role, the perfect DevOps team obliterates those silos and makes an excellent result the focus of the entire crew.
+
+
+A developer is no longer just a developer in charge of X lines of code. A tester is no longer accountable for the expected functionality.  A high-performing team wears multiple hats and has got it ALL covered.
+
+### 3. Automation technology is not an option for a dazzling performance
+
+Let’s be honest: the bright minds like working with new and shiny technology. And you need those bright minds in your team to make it high-performing and guarantee superb results. It's a bit hard to employ and keep these big stars in a company that trusts in a creaky, legacy toolchain to build a product, right?
+
+
+Investing in the DevOps tools will not only make the team more effective, but it will also make them want to stay. From a practical standpoint, automation tools can increase tech efficiency, eliminate errors, and help deploy apps faster. That refers to simplifying the process of configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the network infrastructure.
+
+
+
+## Pull it all together
+
+There's no panacea for successful DevOps team building, but the process itself is definitely easier than quantum physics. The majority of our tips and tricks dispensed above are of common-sense variety. In practice, our secrets call for good old-fashioned hard work and a sprinkle of knowledge.
+
+To deliver top-notch results, employees must be well-settled, teams well-structured, and objectives outlined based on business priorities. And it’s not enough to recruit the right people, retention and training are equally important. Overall, it takes a solid mix of all these components to build a team that truly thrives.

+# BTC, ETH, ICOs, and now - DeFi: How Far Have We Come?
+
+[Bitcoin](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/bitcoin) caught the attention of technologists and anarchists alike following the 2008 Global recession. [Ethereum](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/ethereum) took Bitcoin’s ‘Digital Gold’ status and gave us smart contracts. [ICOs](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/ico) took smart contracts and gave us supply chain management solutions for problems that we never knew existed.
+
+A crypto-winter later, just when we thought that:
+
+*   Altcoin season was over
+*   Decentralized Exchanges were dead in the water
+*   Crypto won’t grow without regulators’ tacit approval,
+
+Along came [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/whitepaper.pdf) and ended all doubts that crypto was a fad that had lived out its 15 seconds of fame.
+
+The innocuous-sounding [DeFi](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/defi) or Decentralized Finance had humble beginnings in the days of the ICOs where ‘Banking the Unbanked’ was the de facto sales pitch of ICO Founders on LinkedIn and Twitter. 
+
+Today, DeFi has metamorphosed into the befitting reply to centralized exchanges like [Binance](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/binance) and Coinbase. Exchanges like [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/docs/v2/protocol-overview/how-uniswap-works) and the similarly named Mooniswap have dealt a death-blow to the Order Book, upon which, centralized exchanges, their listed tokens liquidity, and the alleged shady listing-fees market was built.
+
+
+## How Does UniSwap Work?
+
+Imagine a bank that does not want to waste paper, hands out eco-friendly plastic tokens instead of a passbook to denote your deposits. You deposit your funds and get your bioplastic tokens.
+
+Now. banks hold not just dollars, but also, euros, pesos, rupees, dinars, and other such currencies, to facilitate international remittances.
+
+While banks use models to determine how much of a currency it should hold, Uniswap lets the community decide.
+
+You deposit your funds in a ‘liquidity pool’ to facilitate transactions and in return, you get a small fee. While banks give you interest (after subtracting their arbitrary spread), on [UniSwap](https://uniswap.org/faq/), this is called liquidity mining.
+
+
+## How’s It Different From Banks then?
+
+First off, banks are centralized which makes a lot of their rules arbitrary. Second, banks have salaried employees while the [UniSwap](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/uniswap) protocol has none.
+
+Also, banks are regulated by Governments to protect the general public, DeFi is, to put it mildly, risky.
+
+Finally, on UniSwap, if you own UNI tokens, you have a say in the governance structure and implementation - it’s completely transparent.
+
+
+## Impact of UniSwap on The Crypto-verse
+
+*   Centralized exchanges are, for the first time, facing an existential crisis - and they face regulators
+*   Token issuers have started offering attractive liquidity mining fees for pooling funds in their token
+*   It is easier to pump and dump in the crypto-verse than ever before
+*   UniSwap overtook USDT ([Tether](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/tether)) as the biggest spender of Ethereum’s GAS fees
+*   Ethereum’s GAS fees skyrocketed as projects started mushrooming
+*   Ethereum 2.0 shall be tested by DeFi just as 1.0 was tested by ICOs
+
+
+## A Word of the Wise
+
+*   D.Y.O.R - Do Your Own Research. Do not chase tokens that came up yesterday. They might be gone tomorrow
+*   Pooling in top hundred by trade volume coins are safer (as safe as crypto-investments can be) than those outside of the top thousand
+*   Trading signals on [Telegram](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/telegram) and [Twitter](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/twitter) are, more often than you think, as clueless as you
+
+
+## Conclusion
+
+As with all investments, they’re always subject to market risks and Black Swan events. If you’re looking to dip your toes to see why the crypto-people are going gaga over UniSwap, do consider the [pooling solution of this newsletter’s sponsor: Digitex Futures](https://bit.ly/3knayr3).
