Last November, I wrote about the “7 Habits of Highly Effective Bitcoiners” (#321593). I received the dubious honour of having written PS. Haha.
Undaunted (and shameless), I continued to post and comment here. Today, on the first day of the Million Sats Madness, I put forth my “7 Habits of Highly Effective Stackers”. Have I been reading the air on this platform correctly? Do I have the right pulse on the psyche here? You be the judge.
Through my article, I took the opportunity to surface 7 interesting posts written by other Stackers to enhance your reading pleasure.
7 Habits of Highly Effective Stackers
- Low time-preference
Stackers know that stacking sats is a long-term game, so they apply the principle of delayed gratification. They frame other acts as low time-preference, of which the most noteworthy to me is raising kids. For an example, read #224260
- Value for value
Due to the frictionless way of zapping, Stackers show their approval for others’ work by awarding sats. They like how they have the autonomy to determine the value they derive from a post and award it accordingly. Stackers usually give high default zaps to affirm the Signal going on within the platform. To understand the origin of V4V, read this: #260178
- 100 push-ups till $100k
Stackers marry two things they like: Bitcoin and exercise. More than one Stacker have published consistently their 100 push-ups until $100k routine. Their resolve to take care of their fitness in order to prime themselves for financial wellness is commendable. If you wish to join the ranks, post your routine at the Saloon: #443295
- Walking
Stackers favour walking. They incorporate it into their daily routine, using it to relieve stress or prepare themselves to get into the flow or stimulate their minds to come up with creative ideas. No wonder Stackers have sharp minds. For a discussion of how Stackers use walking to enrich their lives, read #245911
- Meditation
Stackers seem to embrace the Stoic philosophy and take challenges in their stride. In fact, the obstacle is the way. This may directly or indirectly influence them to have the will for low time-preference for the important things in life. After all, good things take time. Needless to say, many Stackers were eager to join a book club to discuss “Meditations”, Marcus Aurelius’ iconic work: #423469
- Privacy
Stackers are conscientious about safeguarding their privacy. They believe that no one else should be privy to how they spend their money. This explains why posts regarding non-KYC says are often well-received, with many Stackers chipping in with their authentic experiences: #333907
- Circular economy
Why do Stackers zap so freely? Most casual investors care passionately about BTC pumping to the moon. But Stackers care fervently about the ecosystem of Bitcoin. They are motivated by people ridding themselves of the all-consuming fiat mindset. They swear by the Bitcoin Standard and fight against the fiat brain rot. If this means they must spend some sats, they will do it unreservedly. Here are some ways in which Stackers spend their sats: #220717
