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!

Louder, please!

This makes my heart happy, as bitcoin wasn’t designed to exist trapped within the wrappers of the old system. It was built to set us free from that system.

Nope. And in case you are wondering why, here is a non-exhaustive lost of features they consider when choosing which devices to support.

Indeed! It's plenty of truths, mask under a fun comedy... I'll watch it again! I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Legendary and under-evaluated!

My question is: what make you think about this movie and ask me if I watch it at 11:30PM yesterday?

Yesterday I was talking with a friend about this movie and idk how but you came into my mind to ask. :)

There's so much to say about this movie... I'll come over and join the conversation next time ;)

Debating if I should go back to school and finish a bachelors degree.

I could work full time at my 2nd job and receive enough tuition reimbursement for a full ride.

I'd be working two full time jobs and going to school.....but I think i'd be able to handle it. Both jobs are relatively chill and allow me a lot of time typing away on the laptop. I've previously spent the "free time" freelancing learning how to code, creating lo-fi beats and zapping freaks.

The degree might aid me in making more sats into the future, two full time jobs would aid me in making more sats in the present.

Thoughts?

reply

I think you should drive by intuition of what you want more? If you want to make more Sats, I believe you've got enough knowledge at present. Considering education ≠ Knowledge, you can always gain knowledge even without going for degrees. Because you don't intent to get a job with the help of degrees (which are requisite often), I'd advise you to self-learn or learn by experience without wasting time going to school.

reply

depends on your major

if it is gender studies, save your money

reply

Education is always valued in the correct field. I say go for it

reply

always valued?

never say always

reply

Education is always valued. How humans progress by learning then teaching the ones after us. It’s better for society for you to be somewhat literate than not.

reply

Education
Human progress
Learning
Teaching
Literacy

All worthy goals but not directly related to a bachelor degree for a fee

reply

Depends on the field plus life is very complex. So many humans studying what they wish is what freedom is about

reply

Are you sure about that? I think a lot of current education is nothing more than indoctrination hidden under layers of obfuscation. For instance, teaching reading is so f*cked up by colleges of education, you would not even believe it This is why many people cannot read better than 1-3rd grade and are in prison.
Here is a good article about reading: #816503
I agree there are only some fields where it is good, though.

reply

Yeah I’m sure. Stuff that matters like being a surgeon or a commercial airline pilot having basic knowledge goes a long way.

As with anything the education system has some worthless degrees but formal instruction is still warranted.

reply

Yes, warranted in only some areas, not all. Most of the sh*t in college could be cut right out of the curriculum with no loss. Also, what may be needed is not given.

reply

The administration bloat is a problem in all levels of society. For every k00b you have like 5 or 10 people who are not as nearly skilled as he is but will make 10 times as much as he does just by telling him what to do and making sure he’s a good employee

reply

That's what happens when the protection is too heavy. Also, not having merit based promotions hurts. A lot of administrators get promoted beyond their competency level.

reply

Also, many companies are loathe to demote to the highest competency job or to do a lateral move to where the person would then again become very competent at his job. Lateral transfers sometimes have a bad odor about them.

Yup the Peter principle

Just know that degrees dont mean as much as they did in the past.
If you invest this time in to school, will it pay off later?
It depends on what degree you will be getting, and how quickly you can complete the coursework.

reply

good advice

reply

The speed piece is pretty interesting.

I have 24 credits, but these next ones would be coming in pretty slow.

Much Appreciated.

reply

You can compress it by going year-round and taking a large load at one time.

reply

True, but the tuition reimbursement wont pay for a huge amount of courses in one sitting.

If I compress it, I'd end up paying out of pocket. At that point, i'd rather stack sats.

reply

I guess that your way would be better under those conditions. At my school if you took more than 15 credits in a quarter/semester everything after that was a freebie. One semester I took 24 credits in graduate school due to that incentive. It was a full-time bitch to do, though.

reply

I was in a similar grind a full-time gig and a side hustle while chasing my degree. Ended up specializing in cybersecurity and the degree definitely opened doors I hadn’t even considered. My tip structure is key. Treat your study time like a third job, and don’t skimp on self care. You’ve already got that hustle mindset, so you’re halfway there. Go for it, but keep the balance in check!

Good luck!

reply

Thanks Man!

reply

I did this because my college professors warned me there was a time limit on finishing my degree.

That motivated me to find an accredited Engineering school and finish.

It was a shock to me re-learning Calculus, but it was worthwhile getting that BS degree.

reply

Thanks for sharing.

reply

This is how I ended up becoming an economist. I had a couple of jobs, one of which offered tuition benefits, and I took a couple of classes a semester until I finished an econ degree. Then, off to grad school.

I say you should do it, as long as you're confident you can handle the workload.

Much appreciated!

You mean that estimated rewards is 0 sats for them even though they are on the leaderboard? I don’t think this is necessarily a bug, I think it’s just that they get less than a full satoshi.

But I think we don’t pay out msats do maybe this is indeed a bug because we shouldn’t even show them on the leaderboard then.

reply

No I think showing them on the leaderboard lets them know they can earn a reward by providing a little more value.

ah, makes sense

True. Not much will change. All the initiative will be in the Bitcoin decision-making mechanism.
