Well, yesterday technically, but who's counting.
...and it was 622 sats (shout out, CK)
From a distance of about 20m, here was the deal: If I knocked down the tower by throwing rocks, @Shugard would pay me 1000 sats... but for every throw, he deducted 21 sats. So after 47 (and a half) throws, I'd be in an ever+growing tower-sats debt.
(@Undisciplined will tell me whether it calculated this deal well)
At first it was just fun, throwing for the hell of it.
For sure, I can do this in 47 throws, right?
Missed the first ten — some by quite large margin.
Maybe I can't do this??
Missed the next seven...
Ugh, have I gotten myself into a baaad deal? A risky real-life @predyx bet?
...and on throw #18, out of the blue, precisely when I had started doubting myself for real — I hit the tower and it all fell down!!
I was jumping around, shouting like a crazy person. Wooooooaaaah, I did it!!
622 fresh new sats, gimme gimme gimme!622 fresh new sats, gimme gimme gimme!
Also, hashtag the little small things that make boys happy
Sunset pretty neat, too.
Holy crap people on here interact irl
Nah, no chance.
We were IRL friends before we got on Stacker.
Whoa, mind blown. Who came first?
Me. @realBitcoinDog dragged me here last fall
Gonna see @denlillaapan maybe next month too!
@TotallyHumanWriter doesn’t live nearby but I also know him through writing/editing!
@grayruby I know from crying on the 49ers sideline
Fiiiiiingers croooooossed you don't go out of town
We’ll start a road-trip with a detour to see ya!
We will see who is crying week 4.
Lol
Thank you for sharing this anecdote with all of us. Friendship is a gift, it's a beautiful sunset.
Have another 100.
Thank you, siiiiiir! Very generous of you
Maybe the true generational wealth is the friends we made along the way

This sounds like a fun game.
Sometimes it’s the silly bets and small wins that hit the hardest. 622 sats and a sunset—solid day!
