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!

It’s not so much about finding your place as it is about finding your people.

reply

It's hard for me to understand why people want bitcoin and at the same time not self custody. Why not just buy an ETF or something?

reply

There's a problem with the mute. I can see the comments from someone who I have muted without touching the eye.
It's already happened many times. The latest is when I hovered to my bio and I found the comment open.

if you opened it before, it stays open

reply

Ok. That may be the reason then. That's why I'm only seeing them on older posts not the recent ones.

reply

I feel like I heard Saylor say once that buying bitcoin when you have a mortgage with a bank is the same thing as buying it with leverage.
Like you basically owe the bank every penny, except you have set terms.
What are stackers' thoughts on this?

reply

what i really like about a blue-light shield for a laptop screen is that the red text in red-pilling presentations now appears orange.

reply

I just use blue-blocking safety glasses. They work wonders,, but the color change is sometimes catching me off-guard.

reply

Maybe for turbo zapping we should let you define the base of the exponent. 10 is not fine enough for me sometimes and I don't love the popup.

It'd be really cool if we could let you define your own zap scaling function. Then again, I think I'm zappiest person on earth atm.

reply

It's kind of crazy how damaging spending money poorly is. We often talk about money spent poorly as if the only problem it creates is the inability to spend it later, but you could be feeding a cancer.

reply

You feed cancer with sugar. How apropos that you feed fiat with wild spending.
I guess the results are the same.

reply

Fiat is the biggest cancer. Yet many people do not want to stop feeding that cancer.

reply

They just don’t know how to stop feeding cancer.
I have been to a recovering cancer patient club where they give people sweet treats and candy as “refreshments”. It is crazy.

reply

That is a great truth, the system is a fallacy, Bitcoin is the only escape.

@ek please do not call me to answer on some territories I already mute them.
For example this one #816563
I simply do not want to comment in the muted territories.
And you already know which territories I mute because...

reply

@Satosora please do not make me commenting on territories that I mute them #816667
I decided to not answer any of them.
I have many worthless territories muted and I do not want to know anything about them.
Just because many assmilkers are infesting them posting totally garbage, I do not want anymore to participate there.

MY SATS ARE SCARCE AND WILL BE RECEIVED ONLY BY FEW.

reply

Hey, l seem to get them quite often.
Not every time, but it happens.

reply

🫡

You can reply here though

reply

If is posted on a territory that I mute it why should I bother replying anywhere?

reply

Because you like me 👀

reply

As a developer - RESPECT
As a stacker... meah.

Me not write good posts?

reply
reply

Ok fair haha

lol last time I checked you had 10k items

Anyone know what triggered @SNisgay?

reply

Don't worry about that. More stackers are coming with the personalized invitations and many sats I rewarded.
Soon you will see many referrals from me.

reply

Many asskissers 👀

reply

nope. selected padawans that are dedicated to bitcoin. Is all that matter.
If you prefer stupid shitcoiners and assmilkers, so be it... you play with shit = you smell like shit.

reply

Not even a little bit of asskissing?

reply

I tried to convince him not to leave, but he didn't replied back. Probably he left SN and it was because of constant trolling he received :(

for sure is hiding under another sockpuppet account

An interesting leaderboard today.
(and yesterday)

reply

ah shit I forgot to go into hidden mode.

reply

OK, so what?
Were you doing wrong? Or just not wanting to be noticed doing good?

reply
reply

I see, tired of assmilkers and their ilk, are you?
I am weary of them, too.
Maybe using anon would be a good idea for zapping, then.

reply

12 years in Bitcoinlandia and 3 years in SN forged me in fire.... I know all their scammers tricks.

reply

It is good to know them by hard experience.
I don’t have that yet on SN, but am getting some education, the hard way.
I found one of your memes very helpful, you know, the circle one.
But, I think there are others out there slithering around, though.

Today I attached the wallet again to receive and send, now with NWC and I have to admit that the user experience has improved compared to WebLN. One of the things I like about having attached wallets is that you can see who also has it, via SN notifications.

reply

After LN, I think the NWC is the best next invention in Bitcoinlandia!
It's simply wonderful!

reply

You can see when they have it. But you can't see who has it unless you know who is zapping you.

reply

You know how it is, you're chatting with someone and you're like, 'I think that was him,' but you can't really be 100% sure.

reply

hehehe that's why I try to zap only after a while after I commented (if I commented).
Sometimes I zap even after a day, just to not be reflected in the leaderboard....

reply

you're a fucker! Ahah! more fucked up than that, is zapping as anon. something i've seen around here, but i can't be 100% sure, only the big boss knows!

reply

That's why I proposed "NO leaderboard, no rewards"... #796213

I do not like when others are sneaking into leaderboard to see who I zapped, what I zapped, when, and how much.

YES, I zap as anon, but not my own posts as many think.... that is totally useless and counter-productive (you are literally giving away sats to SN).

Another method was to donate to SN pool, but that is feeding the assmilkers and I DO NOT WANT THAT ANYMORE!

The only way now is to zap as anon those that deserve.
Simply withdraw and zap from external wallets those that really deserve.

NWC is the ish!

Best ish we got for awhile at least. Once we have bolt12, I want something like bolt12 for sending (another static code that allows us to pull money).

A Stoic Resurrection: #662497

reply

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

To know yourself, you have to be able to see yourself objectively. The “you” that knows yourself cannot be the same as the “self” that you know. If you can’t do this, you’re doomed to always just doing and feeling the stuff that you always did and felt. You can’t do anything about it if you’re always in it.

Here's Alexander Pope in An Essay on Man: Epistle II
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44900/an-essay-on-man-epistle-ii

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is Man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest,
In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast,
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reasoning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such
Whether he thinks too little or too much:
Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;
Still by himself abused, or disabused;
Created half to rise and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled:
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
reply

Best share in the saloon all day. Will anyone pay attention?

reply

Evryone has to pay attention on such stuff someday in his life, be it the last day.

reply

It's always the last day. We never end and we never began. Death is an illusion like the clock on the wall. We go round and round, waiting to touch the ground. Never shall we land in this strange strange land.

reply

I’m not unfortunate. I’m fortunate to endure the circumstances, the failures, the hardships - and not let them make me lose faith in my fate.

Amor fati.

reply

For anyone following along with my company getting bought out. The new owners came by and had a meeting. Apparently they are increasing our 401k match. Giving us overtime at 40 hours instead of 45 (previous company was 45), and giving us raises.

This is obviously much better than what I imagined would happen, so hopefully they fommow through on what they've said.
