Trending | Nimses: when time really becomes money

Social media applications are perhaps one of the most profitable web services. The more personalized they get, the better. From your generic apps like Facebook or Twitter to specific ones. Every single need you have is translated into some sort of sub-community: dating communities, programming communities, gardening communities, cougars with plastic surgeries gone wrong communities… there’s something for everything and for everyone.

When you look at it, however, you almost never get any monetary profits from your favorite exotic sub-community. Minutes turn to hours and hours turn to days as you surf aimlessly. That’s what Nimses team thought of when they decided to bring the app to life (no I am not sponsored by Nimses, I’m open for negotiations though).

So what is Nimses?

Nimses is an app that could be described with two common sayings:

  • Time is money: Every minute of your life since you subscribe to Nimses turn into a Nim. What’s a Nim? Nim is a digital currency that can be used in various situations. Everything you post on your profile has a value of Nims. Do you want to post a photo for instance? 100 Nims. That may sound pointless, but that forces you to choose wisely.
  • Give and take: every like you get on your posts has a certain Nim value. So your investments can turn out to be quite profitable, that’s why you have to choose wisely. A certain amount of Nims can also buy real objects like shoes, clothing, bicycles…

Here’s a video that could explain the concept better:

The app is not only a reincarnation of your time but of social status in modern societies as well. The Nimses community is divided into statuses that depend on how many Nimses and recognition you have. The more you climb the social ladder, the more influential and powerful you become. Constant contributions are made to maintain your status.

The idea behind the app is genius if you ask me. As long as you’re okay with having a price tag of Nims attached to your profile/life that everyone can see of course. The app is about being smart and choosing to make the right investments.

A swarm of controversy is surrounding the app, however. I may be team Pewdiepie… I mean Nimses, but I’ll shift the focus to the amounts of complaints people have about the application now.

The main complaint in that Nims cannot buy those many goods for now so the currency is sort of useless compared to other Crypto Currencies. The developers are still negotiating with businesses for more available goods, but who can wait when time is money? (1000 Nims= 1$)

The other problem is mainly due to security. Once your account is created, there’s no going back and in that kind of communities, you might want an escape card. Deleting your account is only possible through contacting the support team.

As I said before, your Nims account balance (Nimb) is visible to everyone. So your gender, birthday, location, etc. there’s no such thing as privacy on Nimses.

The final verdict goes to you of course. Nimses is an extremely flawed project with promising ideas and huge potential of changing the way we use the internet. But whether you choose to take the risk or play it safe, you have to enjoy this final video:

Trump’s plan : A diplomatic shift or a humanitarian crisis ?

What is going on ? What is happening ? Where are we ?

Are we moving towards a world where peace is an illusion , where the rights of the oppressed are systematically ignored and where forced displacement becomes an acceptable strategy ? The latest news from the Middle East paints a grim picture. Israel has openly backed Donald Trump’s plan and ordered its military to prepare for the mass departure of Palestinians from Gaza → a move that raises pressing humanitarian , legal and geopolitical concerns.

How does this go against international law and human rights ?

The Fourth Geneva Convention’s Article 49 forbids « individual or mass forcible transfers » of protected persons from occupied territories, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) upholds the right to freedom of movement and the right not to be arbitrarily deprived of one’s home. If carried out, the forced displacement of Palestinians would be a blatant violation of international law undermining the Palestinian people’s sovereignty and making their decades-long struggle pointless.

The decision is seen by many as part of a larger geopolitical plot to undermine Palestinian resistance , portraying it as a lost cause rather than a legitimate struggle for sovereignty and human rights and it has the potential to erase the sacrifices made by generations of Palestinians who have fought for self-determination.

What does Trump see? Is it political gain or strategic intentions ?

According to Trump , this approach is in line with his strategic goals and ideological position. His administration , which has its roots in his « America First » philosophy , has frequently supported close ties with Israel in the name of maintaining regional stability. He would contend that by dividing warring factions and eliminating conflict zones, moving Palestinians would open the door to lasting peace. Critics , however , believe that this is only a front for more fundamental political goals, such bolstering American power in the Middle East and winning over pro-Israel lobbyists before the next election.

– In addition, Trump has a history of making decisions on his own without holding meaningful diplomatic talks. Although he frames his plan as a peace initiative , its unilaterality and disdain for Palestinian opinions raise questions about whether it actually seeks to ease tensions or imposes a predetermined solution that benefits Israel and the United States.

Why did Egypt’s Sisi resist the plan ?

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi rejected any proposal that would involve the depopulation of Gaza , reaffirming Egypt’s commitment to Palestinian self-determination and territorial integrity. Egypt has historically played a crucial role in mediating Israeli-Palestinian tensions and has consistently opposed any solution that undermines Palestinian sovereignty. In a significant regional response to the Trump-backed plan , Sisi refused to meet with Trump if discussions included the exploitation of Palestinian territories.

→ This rejection demonstrates the growing uneasiness among Arab leaders who perceive Trump’s proposal as a grave danger to the stability of the region. Egypt , which is already dealing with economic difficulties and internal security issues , sees forced relocation as a trigger for additional instability that could lead to regional turmoil.

Global reactions : a divided international response Countries like France and Germany have reiterated their support for a two-state solution , warning that such a move could fuel extremism and destabilize the region. Europe and human rights organizations have strongly condemned the policy , calling it an outright violation of Palestinian sovereignty and an obstacle to peace. The wide range of reactions to the plan reflects deep global divisions.

While some U.S. politicians criticize Trump’s approach, others, especially those with strong pro-Israel affiliations , defend it as a strategic move to ensure regional stability.

Meanwhile, Arab countries remain at a crossroads, with some such as Saudi Arabia and Jordan cautiously expressing opposition to any forced displacement while others have yet to take a firm stance. The potential consequences of their decisions will have a significant impact on future diplomatic relations with Israel. On the other hand , Israel’s Western allies, especially the United States, have tried to frame the plan as a necessary security measure.

Conclusion: a precarious turning point !

Netanyahu’s support of Trump’s Gaza plan marks a dramatic change in Israeli policy with far-reaching effects on the region. Although it has the potential to change the geopolitical landscape, it is still unclear how this bold move will affect Palestinians and international relations in general. As reactions from around the world develop , it will be difficult to predict whether it will lead to a lasting peace or further entrench divisions and spark conflict. The fate of Palestine cannot be decided unilaterally and any attempt to do so runs the risk of escalating tensions rather than resolving them.
