Sounds like a promising year -- I'll be looking forward to witnessing more discussions on bitcoin development on SN!

Inspired by @plebpoet, i will try to write/share a piece of short fiction to ~the_stacker_muse once per month.

No Auld Lang Syne?

My heart melts

Yea, why not? Post fee = sybil resistance, boost = voluntary territory donation + more exposure for you

Thanks and happy New Year!

I appreciate the sentiment. Happy New Year (week?)

Somewhat tangentially -- i recently heard an alt(shit)coiner try to explain the ethics of their activity by saying that money-making has always been about people figuring out ways of exploiting others (a less eloquent paraphrase). By no means do I agree.

Which is just normal economic activity

Shitcoins/nfts and the like have the shadowy semblance of this, perhaps, leaving out the value-added part.

I take your point.

Most shitcoins are literally shit created out of thin air with no purpose other than pumping and dumping.

Isnt "Flipping" houses essentially this over a longer time horizon?

Add to that the diminishing quality of building materials and the amount that this done thru financing, and how far really have we strayed?

Love the new boost mechanics.

So, just to be clear, if I haven't already subscribed, then take no action? 😃

Just my 2sats. Big fan of the show as it is! Always have been.

I like the green screen on SNL, i've always thought that would add some aesthetic value. Kudos.

Is it possible not to cut off @Car's arm?

And I learned that guests are offered beer on arrival.

Nice episode guys!

Edit: as a side thought -- not sue where you are with the catch-phrase, but last one i heard it was, "24/7 bitcoin meetup on a website."

Maybe 24/7 Bitcoin Meet-Up is more memorable and catchy and on a website, is not needed.

Agree (for the most part).

The part that doesn't agree is probably that same mental mode whence my tireless attempts to articulate my motivations often spring. Then i wonder if it is worth it to do so, and i ususlly conclude it is, especially in writing.

Then i oscillate back into self-doubting.

Daily haiku 9

Lost earring of gold
Somewhere hidden, hole unfilled
I'm no alchemist

Two days left to participate in a year in haikus

Agree. Very powerfully written.

Also, i found there to be echoes of the covid era, the self-censorship that doctors, medical authorities elicited, the quarantining, gaslighting etc.. Amazing how the wheel of time turns, and humans repeat the same injustices on one another, but just in different forms.

Glad you enjoyed it.
