Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Fun fact: Did you know that the Finns celebrate Oct 13 as their National Day of Failure?

Go on, share your failures in your BTC journey. Let’s own them instead of them having power over us.

on 13th Oct is my birthday (this is what they say in that paper named "birth certificate" and I throw it away)

I usually don't like to make to much noise about this (also not in real life I do not like "birthdays"). Birthday parties are so fake and useless.

But I start being fascinated about events in my life. I start gathering them from my past and tried to find the exact moment in time they happened. Starting with this: 13 Oct 1971. Weird day, weird year to be born at 13:13 (as they say in that paper of birth).

indeed! I normally like to spend it with people I like quietly.

Is true, according to my birth certificate, I came to this world on 13 Oct 1971 at 13:13. I deny that paper, because I am not sure it was real. All this stuff is a fucking lie.

This caching issue on deployments is driving me nuts. I’m pretty sure it’s the service worker not reporting 404s though

Hi, I'm Isabel from 🇪🇦, anybody else speaks spanish here?

reply

Se suele usar ingles por defecto, pero alguno de nosotros podemos responder en diferentes idiomas :)

reply

It's ok, I can speak english too, I was just curious. The key is to communicate, it doesn't matter how. But if someone doesn't speak english I can help 😊

reply

@DarthCoin speaks Spanish, I think

reply

I speak fluently 4 languages

reply

Hola cómo estás?

reply

There are a number of Spanish speakers here. Some posts are a n Spanish. Unfortunately, I dont. Good luck and enjoy!

reply

Thanks for your info, I can teach you some 😉 Buenos días ☀️

reply

I took Spanish in school many years ago, but unfortunately did not retain much.

reply

Best way to fix it is creating meaningful connections = visit Spain 😉☀️

What does anon's stack refer to in the rewards pie chart?

If that the fees collected from folks who zap without an account?

@ekzyis reporting back from ... sleeping.

I felt sick on Monday so I decided to sleep. I didn't realize I would sleep for 2 days straight, lol

And oh well, I indeed lost my cowboy hat as some already noticed here

At least the new push notification worked to tell me I lost it, haha

reply

Welcome back!

many stackers have been worrying about you 👀 and welcome back!

Welcome back. 2-days sleep.. wow!

What about shorting them? I wouldn't do it myself, but there's a logic to it if you're long BTC.

reply

That’s a fair point but you short them just holding BTC. Anything beyond that is risky to yourself and supports/promotes ‘altcoins’ as a market - and particularly when m (as in this quote) encouraging others to do the same and follow their lead.

Coins are VC or corporate backed, easily manipulated and it’s always those who cant afford to lose who do.

Full disclosure - I have made some sats playing a virtual trading game where I could forsee an incoming short squeeze on a token. I’m not proud of myself and I wouldn’t do it for real.

reply

It looks "smart", but people don't realize that it's harming their souls this way, not to mention being dragged into all these scams, causing many emotions turbulent and the most precious thing we have: time.

Why not focus on Bitcoin and yourself?

reply

People are very strange. ‘Don’t touch the frying pan… it’s hot!’ isnt enough of a warning for some…

reply

I guess it's mostly due to greed and looking for distractions.

reply

Completely agree. And it hurts everyone long term…

GM everyone!!! Happy Friday!!! It's a rather unusual one, it feels different, can't quite put my finger on it but let's see what the day brings, I wish you all a fantastic day and don't forget that you are worthy, you matter and you're important my friend, hope your day is successful and profitable!! Enjoy your weekend and don't watch the eclipse without proper protection. Be well and stay frosty.

How the hell am I supposed to wrap my head around BitVM?

reply

You're not alone Siggy! @fiksn mentioned in their explainer how Adam Back sees it as similar to a 2016 announcement

Imagine a movie-style “briefcase swap” (one party with a briefcase full of cash, another containing secret documents), but without the potential scenario of one of the cases being filled with shredded newspaper and the resulting exciting chase scene.

So get your Lebowski friend's to fill you in - they'll know all about it!

reply

Best wait until people start building with it. Trade-offs are hard to evaluate without a working product.

This time last year everyone was excited about Taro, but even now I don't think it's used for anything.

BTC a lone pine in forest of deciduous trees. Altcoin autumn…

reply

Timely. I'm just about to get out my rake.

reply

I’ll do another autumn one tomorrow in that case. May struggle to make it about bitcoin though….

reply

Nice, although I'd definitely call it a winter at this point!

reply

True… although I think there might be a couple still waiting to go to zero.

reply

I'm quite surprised at how well Ethereum is holding up. I know that the ETH/BTC ratio has dumped since the merge, but it's still much higher than I thought it would be in a bear market.

reply

‘When will ethereum overtake bitcoin?’ influencer videos have aged badly…

reply

I think there are probably people at a loss and just holding on hoping…. and I think it’s quite a long lock up for those on yield.

Imagine the FOMO hahaha, I am not a fan of the bitcoin ETF.

reply

Yes, I certainly wouldn't use it myself.

reply

In the style of the Eddie Murphy stand up routine; picture children in a school playground pointing at the new kid and goading; ‘you can’t afford no ice cream, your Daddy got rug pulled, he bought the ETF rather than the underlying asset…’ Kids can be so cruel..

Believe it or not, I knew his guitarist, who I think still plays with him, Chris Haskett. I saw a show in Prague in 1997, I think. I briefly met him backstage. I enjoyed the show but I dont know much about his music.

They worked together during The Rollins Band days. Loud and fast… although not quite Black Flag angry
