Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Howdy! The Stacker Saloon sure seems like the place to rustle up some conversation! Today's been quite the rideβ€”busy with wrangling words and lassoing ideas. Got me pondering: reckon what's the wildest adventure you've roped into lately? As for life's lasso, it's been a whirlwind, spinning yarns and swapping tales. How 'bout y'all? What's been stirrin' up the dust in your neck of the woods?

Some self-rules I am trying to follow:
  • never engage in a "debate" with shitcoiners. Is wasting time and energy. They just want to suck that energy from you. And for what? In the end they will never want to be bitcoiners (some just pretending).
  • never answer to "anon" SN accounts. Again is wasting time and is like talking to the wall.
  • laugh every day with a meme or joke. Nowadays people forgot to laugh. It's sad to see this. Also few people have the sense of humor. But yeah bitcoiners have the most.
  • engage in discussions only if the OP also is responding and/or others are commenting valuable information.
  • if the subject doesn't fit my expertise, better STFU and just read others comments. Sometimes I am called, but if I do not have a specific answer, I will pass the question to somebody else (if I know their expertise).
  • zaping depends 100% of the content, not the OP. I never zap because was posted by x or y, without reading it. And I use different levels of zapping. Sometimes I zap first a little bit and later (if is a long post) after I read the post, I am zapping again accordingly.

I'm much more likely to engage with proper cowboys. Hold on to those hats everyone.

@cryotosensei you'll be pleased to know, I've stacked 6 sats already with Satogram. Lol.
reply
Lol those sats do help with the routing fees, don’t they? Haha
reply
Lol. That's actually true. I never even thought of that. Thanks for sharing your find.
reply
Let's have a cheeky flutter.
I'll bet 10k sats that BNB hits sub-$100 between now and Christmas.
Any takers?
reply
I'll bet 1k sats against because I don't know what I am doing, lol
edit: looking at the chart, sub-$100 is a long way to go
Maybe I'll increase my bet to match yours, just for the lulz πŸ€”
reply
I think it's more of a 50:50. I can reduce the bet to 1k for both sides though.
Agreed it's a big drop. On the other hand, such a drop isn't unusual for exchange tokens (see FTX, CEL).
My base case, aside from the recent news, is that the ETF gang has an incentive to help cut Binance down. SEC has repeatedly cited market manipulation and exchange risk as a reason for rejecting ETF applications. And if ETF approval indeed occurs around Jan 2024, we could expect to see something big happen to Binance between now and Christmas.
I could be wrong, but decided to put my money where my mouth is. It's more fun that way!
BTW, does SN have an equivalent to the Reddit !remindme bot?
reply
Interesting bet. What do you know that we don't? Apart from everything relative to Bitcoin will tank.
reply
Apart from the recent news (Binance sued for $4B and CZ stepping down)?
reply
Wow! First time hearing about this. Thanks for sharing. No one will take that bet now. Lmao. Sorry for spoiling your fun.
reply
No one will take that bet now.
It always depends on risk/reward. Would you not bet a single sat to potentially win 10k sats?
reply
If you're serious @orthwyrm I can take you up on the 10k offer, I don't really care or follow the BNB token price action but a drop to sub 100 in 30+ days will be difficult.

Howdy partners! Just trying to survive my short Fiat job week. Almost there!

I only have internet via my mobile phone so i tether it to my laptop when im at home. Right now the whole setup is drawing 5w from the outlet. That seems too little. The laptop is powered, the phone is powered, the laptop screen is near 100% brightness too. And the browser is open with multiple tabs. for 5 watts it seems. I could probably produce that kind of energy with a treadmill.

59kg seems to low for a guy, i think. I'm currently at 80kg and a bit taller than you, and somewhat skinny.

Good day everyone!! Tuesday is here and boy is the week flying, so time to catch up to it and give it our best, it's a beautiful day today, so carpe diem my friend, seize the day.

Ahh!!!!! Excellent. AG would be happy. I assume I can look forward to more verses?
reply
I honestly don’t know. There is more and I have a draft, I’m just not that happy with it past this point. I am also working on a short story, not Bitcoin related, but certainly a critique of traditional economics and the people Government leaves in its wake.
reply
I'm looking forward to reading what you have. I have been bouncing around the idea of actual bitcoin fiction. I'm only at the character stage. No serious, philosophical stuff. I just think that there have been very interesting characters in the space. I'm not sure if it's the chicken or the egg that creates these people.

I'm not sure if a novel would work either. Just short stories. I think there is a lot of material. The Popescu types, the Lambo guys, the OG expats, the MtGox craziness. There are more I can't recall now. Hal Finney is like the Patron Saint. No obvious character flaws to explore.

Hell yeah. What a view. I hope to see some prominent and resourceful bitcoiners buy a few hundred acres of land and divvy-it-up into lots or smaller chunks for plebs with similar values, to bootstrap a community.
Proof of work (helping a few builds) and perhaps timelocked sats rather than strict purchase.

it might happen in the future, but I guess it would be in private form - considering not many plebs want to dox their locations πŸ‘€

Living off-grid is my dream, but buying a plot is expensive. Who knows, I might be able to use my stash as collateral in the future to buy a plot. This would be better than selling a deflationary asset like Bitcoin.
reply
selling a deflationary asset like Bitcoin.
Please tell me where in the whole Bitcoin white paper says "its a deflationary asset" ?
reply
Deflationary is defined as a reduction of the supply of money in an economy. In this case, a reduction of the supply of Bitcoin in the economy. The code might have it at a fixed supply but because people loses access to their Bitcoin, the supply gets reduced. It might not be a lot but by this nature it's deflationary.
reply
I was talking about "asset". It says clearly: P2P money.
