Have a great weekend!

  1. Satoshi was last active on Bitcointalk in 2010. @Scoresby highlights the discussions afterward.
  2. For bitcoin's benefit, @psacramento studies the success of Brazil's Pix digital payment system. Brazil's demographics skew young, spend the most time on social media globally, and have a large, informal economy.
  3. As bitcoin ETFs take bitcoin mainstream, pressure mounts to make bitcoin compliant in fiat's image. Is this good for bitcoin?
  4. @AlexKaboomracks warns stackers that bitcoin mining is hard and usually unprofitable.

I was thinking about a few options while reading through:

  • Top stacker
  • Top spender
  • Best debut post
  • Longest tenured cowboy

You are moving up the ranks. You might crack the top 5 next week if Siggy falls back due to cruising.

reply

Not sure if this is right, but I think you won't lose ranking points if you don't do anything, since it's cumulative.

reply

That's not necessarily right. Your ranks in these categories depend on relative performance of posts and comments.

If you have the third best post and someone makes a post that outperforms it, then you now have the fourth ranked post, which earns less. The same goes for the other three categories.

Now, if no one comes along and passes you on anything, you'll keep your ranking points.

At least that's how I think it works.

reply

If I don't post, comment, or zap, will I still lose msm ranking points? just want to make sure I understand correctly.

reply

Yes, I believe so. As new posts and comments pass your, your rankings will decrease.

reply

I ended the first day in 3rd. Classic distance running mistake, getting out to an unsustainable pace and then falling back.

I'm glad I moved up, though, because I intentionally tried to be more forthcoming with the zaps yesterday. Now I know to continue that strategy.

reply

I think zapping top posts and comments early has a big effect. Also prominent stackers interacting with your posts or comments and zapping.

reply

Yeah, I also had some more aristocratic engagement than normal.

reply

It's hard to not notice that I've essentially spent 70k sats to get 20k sats ahead of you. If I don't climb the ranks, my strategy is going to look pretty dumb.

reply

Wasn't a good chunk of that for the econ territory?

reply

Yes, but it was from the first zap on a post that raised over 60k.

reply

If we are working under the assumption that k00b and kr are ahead of you and everyone moves up a couple spots then you are 80k ahead of me on the estimated rewards. So you invested 70k to get 80k.

reply

That's an ROI I can live with.

reply

Great suggestions!

  • Top performancer
  • Stats: posts, comments, total stack, etc

Awesome. Another great week in the wild wild west.
