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!

My kids really love One Piece. Something I enjoy about it is that the government is the main villain and completely duplicitous.

Hmm... maybe I should start watching it again?

I forgot when I stopped. The show is too damned long, that's for sure.

reply

we are on episode 487 or something. I think about halfway?

I use Xournal++ to scribble my signature onto PDF contracts, but that's all I use it for, and maybe that's just a German use case

it seems more like for handwritten notes?

I don't think so, but goat yoga is pretty common and goats are common symbols in metal. :P

Eat more gouda and stroopwafels. It might not help, but its worth a shot.

Nederlands is geen serieuze taal.

i'm surprised how many people are like "don't learn that it's pointless"

I mean.... I think learning Latin is cool but that feels a lot more pointless. Why can't we learn pointless things?

Yeah, I think Latin is where I draw the line, I don't see much use for it in my life haha

But I think it's used a lot in some sciences?

reply

totally. Etymology/instantly deriving meaning of complicated words.

Also, I've been told, it's good practice for e.g., coding or other super stringent endeavors (follow procedure, details matter)

reply

You get to sound smart and erudite. In other words you get to act like @denlillaapan who loves to throw around the fact he went to Oxford (or Cambridge?).

reply

I love to throw that around?! Darn, I've failed... I usually uphold it as a failure, seen-the-crap-from-the-inside sort of achievement.

reply

Fair. Old elite institutions are corrupt decaying dinosaurs.

reply

Elite learning at Oxford survived everything: crusades, protestantism, secularism, big gov, world wars, medieval fights, empires rise and fall.

The hubris I need to honestly believe that it's permanently doomed is so insanely large

reply
survived everything: [goes on to list everything that didn't die yet, except maybe the rise of empires]

did you eat it?

never
I heard it has to be boiled in a water couple times or being dried for 40 days before you can safely eat it

Have you ever tasted it?

reply

never came across one. I'm not really into that sort of thing anymore. I just stick with my beer and cannabis

reply

Find Paolo, haha.

reply

It’s crazy how many people say “You Know” as a filler when speaking. I do it as well but trying to get better in avoiding using it.

In what world does a 7:15am yoga class need a waitlist? Austin is filled with animals and I feel like an NPC in a full yoga class - everyone doing the same thing neatly spaced out.

everyone doing the same thing neatly spaced out.

I'd need a class full of Niles Cranes to have a shot at blending in like that.

The Ukraine war was and still is a challenge to the petrodollar empire post GFC when it became clear that China is now the dominant productive economy supporting the global economy. The IMF was forced to accept China onto the exclusive board of reserve currency issuers because the Yuan and China were the major pillar preventing collapse of the petrodollar empires global institutional framework and protocols.
China is still the only member of the board that is not both a monetary and military tribute state to the USA.
Iran war is the USA pushing back against Chinas growing challenge to the petrodollar. With the development of mBridge and CIP enabling Yuan denominated oil trade and that trade expanding to more and more gulf states who joined mBridge protocol.
How much fiat debt issuance has USA expended upon the Iran war?
Would the US petrodollar be able to even launch the Iran war if it operated on the Bitcoin Standard and was already $40 T in the red? No.
Iran war is last hurrah as the petrodollar empire is flogged like a dead horse by its Zionist puppet masters as they launch their Greater Israel land grab to build a regional hegemony resistant to Chinas emerging dominance.
Bitcoin fine as a refuge - a virtual tax haven and SoV hedge against the insolvency and collapse of the petrodollar...but it does not and cannot enable you to debase all citizens savings in a war and that is a fatal strategic disadvantage for any nation state where control of territory and trade routes is fundamental to both credibility and ultimately, survival.

Howdy! 👋 I’m exploring Bitcoin more deeply, especially self-custody, UTXOs, Lightning, and privacy. I’m learning from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and looking forward to learning from the community.
What’s one Bitcoin concept you think everyone should understand early?
