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!
I'm slowly but surely getting sick of all these "bitcoin memes" like 1 sat = 1 sat.[1]
People just apply it to everything now. Like yeah, we get it. Bitcoin supply is fixed.
Doesn't mean you can now just use "1 sat = 1 sat" as the answer to everything. You can't use one true statement in one context and apply it in a completely different context and still believe you just said something that's true and clever. You only disqualified yourself from the discussion.
I feel like I read too much from @elvismercury.
Thanks to ordinals, one could argue that's not even true anymore ↩
You know what's worse, fren?
The "Bitcoin fixes this" crowd, which likes to slap that as a bandaid onto any criticism or "problem" they deem worthy of said bandaid. It's pathetic.

Go ahead, list some things and explain how Bitcoin will fix it.

Yeah what the fuck, ek?
Sorry, I have a weird humor and not much time sometimes.
What if I wanna laugh about that humor with you? 🥺
I've often interpretted it as cope humour for when the price crashes. I don't think many use the term seriously?
There are some common memes / opinions I really do dislike, but this isn't one of them to me.
I find your faith in humanity interesting
Such as...
"This arbitrary thing that I don't like = Fiat"
"Bitcoin is only used for X% of illicit transactions."
And all the weird ties to religious conservatism, which I assume is the American cultural influence at work.
This so much
Update: I think I might have just crossed over and have become so tired of this that I won't even fight it anymore. Everyone who takes the other side is either un-serious or delusional, and there's no point arguing with either.
Pointless arguing on the internet is something I would like to go to zero in my own life.
It surely seems like it but I feel like there must be some more effective angle. A common technique is to only let them talk by asking questions which at some point lead to some contradiction which should make them think. It just feels I haven't gotten good enough at it yet.
Me too but sometimes, you just can't help but get your hopes up high that "this time is going to be different". But time is definitely spent better writing longer, thought-provoking posts than replying in some random thread to some random dude. It has more reach and is more convincing. I try to write longer posts to balance stuff like this and this out.
It's as good a strategy as exists, but it presupposes people actually care about the truth and are trying to understand the world. If you're not discussing in good faith, there is no value in engaging.
I'm not here to fuck spiders, mate :)
Haha, I was cheering halfway through your msg.
Memes are great advertising, but when you start making arguments based on advertising things go poorly.
Doesn't mean the memes aren't true. Besides I really enjoy bitcoin's meme world. Bitcoin fixes evil aliens and holding your own keys is sexy.

Yeah, it feels as if we want to educate the whole world how to be sovereign but we don't even trust them with understanding arguments not based on memes. I thought we wanted to build a new, different system and not enslave people in a new system of idiocracy.

There's a devil-spawned weed in my backyard. I pull it out, try to find the taproot, pull it too, but it's vexing. At each joint it roots. Despite my plucking, it always returns. Today, it occurred to me it's a distributed network with no central point of failure. It's unstoppable.
Love the metaphor (even if I'd rather not think of BTC as a weed), but as someone fighting the good fight against black swallowwort every day, I also feel your pain here.
I will say this: a weed doesn't think of itself as a weed. That's just a word we humans put on certain plants. Stop the weedism! 😄
True! I think of dandelions as the classic example. So useful and also pretty, but they're considered a "weed" because they're not generally planted.

ughhh, cant edit it anymore 👀

Does anyone doubt that soon Bitcoin-only companies will prefer hiring stackers over tweeters? We're the early birds, after all! https://c.tenor.com/A9uTBwWhChoAAAAC/tenor.gif
Hey cowboys, just thinking... meme pages are flooded with, well, memes, sure, but how many of them actually provide useful info without referencing fiat price? 😂😂😂😂 Naaaah, let's rally for genuinely informative and helpful memes in the ecosystem, btw good job this week @Darthcoin you got it
Watching Jujutsu Kaisen and drinking hard cider with the wife. I’m trying to convince her to see Dune 2. Wish me luck freaks.

Day 83 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 628 sats on 9Mar2024!
Running total: 58,744 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 84's comment
Did SN change the fee to make a post? It's wanting 100 sats.
Did I lose karma with my new account or something? I have 8 sats. Lol.
karma is a bitch for cheaters
Huh? Cheaters?
The post price varies by territory and it can change over time

Howdy!
43 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k. Undetermined to go.
39 days of 100 squats a day until $100k. Undetermined to go.
🫡
Bitcoin has already surpassed 100k in several fiat currencies, those guys are no longer suffering! :)
Getting close in Canadian dollars. Over 94k right now. But even though I am based in Canada, using CAD would not be in the spirit of the challenge.
That's the right spirit! If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth doing.
CAD don't matter anyways, never did. USD is the best crack house on the street and is the fiat price I'll base my challenge on.
Ughh I think my windows laptop is on its last legs. Just got the random blue screen while working on something.

Good morning stackers.
Day 42 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.

Slept in.
Easy Sunday. Will get in a hike to the falls with my son!
Stack Sats and stay humble!
Are you in the habit of taking photos or you are more inclined towards enjoying the moment?
It depends. When I have my young son, I take fewer photos concentrating and his experience and safety. When I'm alone - Lots of photos.

After this post I will will head over to Bitcoin Brunch #147. I'm hoping to get a little organizing/planning done for Bitcoin Day Miami on May 11th. I plan to record a bunch of introductory interviews with the speakers as promotional material. We should announce a bunch of speakers this week.
I also want to do a screening of Dirty Coin that weekend, I think it would go well with the other activities.
This month, the non-profit education and community support organization should get federal tax exemption, at which point I'm going to start begging people for money :)

Sunday a day of rest and church with the family. I’ll try not to work too hard!
If I want to do an article a day, or week, what's the best time of day/week to post? Re: traffic patterns etc. Clearly for the algorithm getting a few quick zaps is going to propel visibility as opposed to going hours with no engagement. @ek
Or is SN geographically dispersed enough that it doesn't matter.
I typically write and post and night, but that's morning in NY and afternoon in London.
Be aware: I never sleep 😂😂
😂
@davidw got you covered: #441843
No, most are from the US
But what is the dispersal of the most active stackers….? Top 25 maybe. I suspect the answer would be a surprise for some…

The Bitcoin blockchain has been referred to as a Timechain. It tracks time in an immutable way. Which is very powerful. Thought about a use case that could help offset deepfake video, which is or will become a very serious issue soon..and that is, images and video footage can be hashed and that hash stored on the Timechain serves as hard evidence that the image/video was recorded NO LATER than the Timechain time stamp. I can see a future where certified cameras are designed with video hashing built in with automatic content hashes stored on the Timechain. Where video authenticity is crucial, early customers of this tech may include CCTV and police body cam feeds, among others.
Alexei Anatoljewitsch Nawalny is Alexei Navalny, right ?
In this case I think sacrifice has to have meaning and galvanise action or it will become a forgetton footnote in history.

I am a bit surprised to learn that many Stackers are teetotallers. But me asking the alcohol question made me dig up my materials on sake. This is just me decluttering my notes (and hoping to earn some petty sats haha)
Let’s Learn About Sake
https://m.stacker.news/19779
Alcohol is fun but clearly removes many abilities to form and execute long term plans if you drink a bit too much.
Zero alcohol might be too much order from me, but too much alcohol makes life too chaotic. The right balance makes a great life in my mind.
Day 330 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

330…. area code for parts of northern Ohio. Worth celebrating!!
Oh.
I hate clock changes.
We will catch up :)
My son is literally touching grass.
And making a sword composed of a branch and dead leaves.
His spirit is free.
https://m.stacker.news/19776
This is the way!
is that grass, or is it really a mass produced industrial product that resembles our corrupted platonic idea of a lawn?
That is a lovely image and good to see kids playing outside making their own fun (my negative outlook isn’t aimed at you - I just saw a flash of a terrible future)
It’s 2050. We are heading towards the dystopia where grass only serves a purpose for the fiat elites. There will still be grassy areas behind high private walls, on public land (but you have to pay carbon credits to go there) and in the arenas where broken athletes entertain the masses by putting their bodies on the line to pay for tuition. Areas that haven’t been built on will be rewilded in a bid to attract the wildlife our fiat businesses destroyed…. no bees have been seen this summer. We have 5 years. Bitcoin could have fixed this.
On the contrary, I am impressed by how fast your creative juices gush out of your mind🤯
Ideas come in a moment. The execution (and my lack of time) are my downfall. I have a few writing projects on the back burner. Unfortunately, I work long hours between college and family.

I was thinking how Wall Street might be in for a shock one day when some news or event causes a massive weekend price shift. It will be shocking. "Hey, don't you know markets are 9:30-4:00, Mondays through Fridays?"
That’s what Monday crashes are all about isn’t it?
On the one hand increased global financialisation suggest more 24/7 and calmer markets whilst the speed of communication provided by the interwebs suggest greater volatility….
Time change for the US not for snail-land it seems!
In before the snail.
This stupid time change thing really messes with my head. The saloon doors opened in total darkness again.
hahaha you are waking up every day just to post in SN saloon?
Here is still snowing. 3rd day of continuous snowing.... A dense white view, not even at 50m you can see clearly, so dense is snowing.
IDK when I will finish that damn citadel.
Usually you work during the summer months, right?
if the weather is good in april - may I will start then.
I need the dirt to have a certain humidity level, otherwise I cannot continue filling the bags. Too wet dirt is hard to manipulate it.
I really hope will not rain too much in april-may so I can go early this year.

My bad! I didn't zoom in on the image and they looked like ducks to me. Hahaha! Are those seagulls?
yes! they are so cute and smart - knowing where to get food from humans, e.g. if you take the ferry they always fly next to you waiting to get food, and they know where the food will land and fly to there in advanced! amazing 😳
They're really smart, but they can't seem to control their bowels! Hahaha!
but they know how to be cute and get fed 😂 like the cats!
