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!

That bounce was so quick that the MSM didn't even have time to declare BTC dead.

Gotta say that was a pretty weak reaction to the all time high lol

Hopefully the tRaDeRs are okay 😢

lol I bought today like I buy everyday!

reply

I've noticed more outlawed content than normal.

Do we have a new vigilante keeping our streets clean?

reply

I noticed a few comments that were from outlaws today. Nice to see :)

reply

Me too. Does that mean that account has received tons of downzaps? I thought the outlaw tag was for specific posts or comments.

reply

I don't know. FAQ says

If an item gets flagged by stackers with enough combined trust, it is outlawed and hidden from view for stackers on Tenderfoot mode. If you wish to see this flagged content without any modifications, you can enable Wild West mode in your settings.
reply

Was this part of down zapping with the new competition this week?

reply

I imagine so

reply
reply

Really? I still have my training wheels on so I can’t see the bad internet

reply

I haven't noticed any. You must be hanging out in the red light district. Haha.

reply

I just say one in "recent" and it reminded me that I've seen several others over the past few days.

I think someone is subscribed to accounts they don't like and is downzapping them into oblivion as soon as they post.

reply

It'd be cool if all the outlawed posts showed up in one place, like an outlaw territory--a hideout or something--so you could see what's ending up there.

reply

I agree. Maybe they'll let us filter for outlawed content at some point.

reply

That’s mean…

reply

If it's real people, then yes, but if it's spam bots, then they're doing us a service.

reply

I’m not sure it’s bots being down zapped so much as semi controversial posts / posters..

reply

I'm probably still fine with that. It's a community self-policing mechanism, but I would hope the downzappers are actually reading the posts before nuking them.

reply

Agreed. My fear is it’s MSM gaming…

reply

I would like to remind all of those stackers on the leaderboard hiding in the shadows:

You can run, but you can't hide.

Probably controversial, but today I thought I was going to have to turn down a job with a 55% increase in pay over my current job because they require flu vaccinations. Thankfully, their policy has changed.

I no longer trust anything medical since 2020 (and I work in it). The more I look at the evidence, the more that feeling seems justified.

reply

good work!

reply

I know the evidence supporting flu vaccines is really weak, but what makes you think they're dramatically harmful?

reply

Imagine having the power to make huge swaths of people care about something.

And then you make them care about gender fluidity and pop tarts.

reply

Hey fam, lately there re too many copypastas here, yep... downzaps are cool but ideally (just an opinion) the sats stacked by the copypaster should go to the legit creator or in your case, to the stacker who links the original post.

It is clear that we sap who we want and it is our task as readers is to know how to differentiate a feka from a legitimate creator, but sometimes it is not a simple task. Idk if it is possible to freeze the sats obtained from each post for a predetermined time, maybe 1h. In this way would give time to identify the copypastas and redistribute the sats in an ethical way, or would this be censorship? Let us know your opinion! https://media.tenor.com/0heitU7-tg4AAAAM/copy-paste-paste.gif

reply

If you don't want your sats to go to scammers, don't send them to them.

SN is working together with Coinbase...
https://http.cat/status/500

reply

The SN recovered faster, it was just a few seconds. It must have been fixing MSM rank bugs :) As for Coinbase, it's ridiculous. If they do this on purpose, I'm all for it. It's a way to punish those who want to exchange Bitcoin for fiat.

Good morning stackers.

Day 37 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.

reply

Could be your last day of those :D

reply

If we are talking about Canadian dollars, maybe. Still some way to go for USD. I thought I would be doing this thing for at least 8 months, possibly a year, and I'll get much stronger as a result. But it looks like I might be wrong and it will reach $100k earlier than I expect.

reply

I’m sort of joking. I think we have a long way to go..

Yesterday's comment

Mornin Stackers,

The human brain can take only but so many psyop's.

I'm bracing for a tidal wave of destruction, but just like in the Mandibles, sometimes the correct step is towards relocation.

Thanks,

I asked Chat GPT for a summary of what the Stacker Saloon is about. I don't remember what it told me, but I have some good ideas on how to fix it

Got my lovely hat today. Ill be protecting it, making sure no dust will land on it.

Last night I had a dream, with a big event happening. And BTC price went to 1k.

reply

the funniest outcome though would be if coinbase lost everyone's keys and we'd get, like, an omega rugpull

reply

That would be the apocalypse rug…. Ironically users see their balances go to zero every time there is a green candle…. so at least they will be used to it.

reply
users see their balances go to zero every time there is a green candle

That is like the Hollywood social programming movies... preparing the clueless NPCs for what they already prepared.

lol priming their customers for the rug, I like it

@thebitcoinbugle here is your inspiration !
SN Saloon is an ocean of inspiration.

reply

sir, you've just described an "inside job", like many others happened in Bitcoinlandia (Mt.Gox, Bitfinex, FTX etc)

reply

that would be extremely funny

reply

And the snail carried on, grateful he wasn’t doing press ups anymore… and loaded up on some cheap sats.

reply

Really? Nah. Crash to $1

reply

Hey hey hey!! Is Tuesday innit? The day that defines the outcome of the rest of the week, pay close attention to your strategies and see if they're working or if you think they need a little tweak here and there, by strategies you know I mean the ones that will help you achieve your daily goals so you can get your weekly goals done, it can be from anything like doing a nice workout, getting the bonus at work, a promotion, an investment, anything, just set your goals, divide them into smaller ones and keep doing one at a time, I believe in you my friend and I'm proud of you, so keep the eye on the prize, be consistent, disciplined and the pieces will fall into place, I wish you all a phenomenal Tuesday, may it be successful, profitable and filled with joy and love. Let's do this!! Be well and stay frosty!

@kr @k00b I suggest to add more suspense and spice to the MSM contest.
With quite many "stacker is in hiding" mode there's no fun for the others how to play this game.

Better make all stackers in hiding and nobody knows shit about nobody.
REMOVE THE LEADERBOARD and let's see the fun.

Today was a great plan for the day. a little work, buy bitcoins and meet with friends, but a client who recently had a site done wanted to update "a couple of pages" and as a result - I spend the whole day at work, as the wishes for new sections he has quite ambitious :)

But when I finish I can drink wine with my friends.

reply

I'm scared. I just glanced at the bitcoin price ticker at the top of the page and it read 66666. Are these the end times?

@ek gave the stackers a good scare! ahahahh

yeah we should have the price ticker stuck in 66666 forever, just for fun.

No way! Did you hear about this? We might have to keep even more dogs at home!

As a kid I wanted a monkey. Then I heard all the horror stories. My parents broke out the old "they throw their feces at you" tales, as if that would discourage me.

You could have got Nazi-sponsored sea monkeys… (weird tale that one)

reply

Before I do a search about the nazi part, I almost ordered sea monkeys from the back of Boy's Life magazine, but I always thought there was something fishy (pun intended) about the ad. They had these weird, smiling cartoon monkeys smiling at you. Even then I was suspicious.

Oh enjoy the read! It was a creepy ad…

“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made their living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”

Chasing down mooning shitcoins, competitions, playing for micro sats or social media likes is all the same. It’s vapid and a pointless illusion of self-worth with the false promise and hope that good fortune will land in your lap. If it came easy it will go easy…

This is a great haiku because even though I feel so poor these days, I have no qualms zapping it. Also I like how the snail stays constant even though the world is spinning.

Seems like the MSM has stirred your writer’s muse haha

reply

Thank you - I go through phases. I did one a day for a long while. Currently the weather isn’t great here so I can’t work-work and I’m mostly avoiding college-work as I have an assignment due next week and it’s a battle. MSM is leaving me rather cold I’m afraid.
