Bitcoin Beginners Newsletter, Issue 24 \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Announcements

Welcome to this week’s newsletter.

We had a pretty good week in the territory, although nowhere near as good as last week’s, which admittedly set a high bar. @Rexdentron did post this month’s Bitcoin Ecosystem Map, which I always look forward to. The Top 5 were also particularly good, and not a link post among them!

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and have a good week.

Everyone knows about the white paper, but have you read it? Here is the pdf.

DarthCoin’s Guides

DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you. Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides: https://darthcoin.substack.com/

Rexdentron’s Ecosystem Map

Bitcoin Ecosystem Map [October 2024] by @Rexdentron

@Rexdentron has created a comprehensive ecosystem map. I believe he intends to keep this list updated Beginners will benefit from checking it out, as will experienced bitcoiners.

Why Bitcoin Only

Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.

Top Posts Of All Time

Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.

You're already on issue 24. Congratulations! Do you know how many sats you've distributed?

144 sats \ 2 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Oct

I have not kept track. I think I gave out 5k a week for a while, then lowered it to 2k a week, then I can up with this incentive idea. Last week was my highest zap amount. I think close to 6k based on the territory rewards for the week.

66 sats \ 1 reply \ @0xbitcoiner 25 Oct

If 6k is the average, it's around 144k. Wow! Your genorosity knows no bounds!

44 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Oct

6k is nowhere near the average. In the past maybe you can call it generosity. My plan going forward, though is to share my territory revenue with stackers so we all earn. I think I figured it out that using my current method, the top post of the week earns at least 10 percent of the weekly revenue for the territory. I am trying to incentivize really good, instructional beginner posts.

He writes a lot on SN, maybe a lot, I also read a lot of siggy47 posts.

Thank you siggy.

I just wrote down my experiences very casually about Bitcoin situation in India. It was nowhere close to be called a professional post. But, I'll take it and try to write more casually like this.

It was a good post. It certainly was detailed and gave us a good look at the situation in India. I think stackers would love to read more India based bitcoin adoption content.

You should have a statue built in your honor for all your hard work.

Great newsletter and updates this week everyone. I was at the car dealer yesterday getting new tires and was orange pilling the guy when I was paying. I was explaining the Bitcoin rewards I’ve gotten over the past 2.5 years. He was like do you get fight points, and I was like no I get sats! And those sats have over doubled in value! I also told him about Fountain! Send him some great material!

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Oct

Great!

I’m on a roll. A “work dad” of mine finally was able to be convinced after 4 years to get some Bitcoin. He’s a huge investor and has always been willing to listen to me. He’s starting small and I’m meeting him where he is at so it’s an ETF start. I know, I know not real Bitcoin, but I’ll get him there.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 OP 25 Oct

Foot in the door. I just had this conversation yesterday.

43 sats \ 0 replies \ @BitcoinIsTheFuture 25 Oct

Yup, the main goal will be to keep him Bitcoin only. We have another shared friend who’s a “crypto” guy and he steered me to Alts when I started. That money was basically all lost and was my price of tuition into the space. I wish I would have stayed Bitcoin only! I am now, and will try to save others!

Excellent newsletter, I was able to read and enjoy each of the publications, being a newbie in Bitcoin has led me to learn everything and make it the technological future.
