@siggy47 comes out of hiding and puts the other cowboys to shame.
I feel like we’re catching. His streak used to be more than double ours.
Your hunch is correct on this.
1323 days - 1145 days = 178 days (rounded to 200 for simplicity)
If your streak is 100 days and @siggy47's streak is 300 days then you'd looked like to have â…“ of his streak length.
100 days later : your streak is 200 days and @siggy47's is 400 then you'd looked like to have ½ of his streak length
Assuming the streak is unbroken and consistently extended ofc. Your relative gap against @siggy47's streak length can only grow but the absolute gap (178 days) will not.
At some point, you'd have nearly 99% of the streak length as time goes on. Current gap shows that @siggy47 have 13% more streak length. So close yet so far
So how long until I catch up?
When your streak is 1602-day long and @siggy47's is 1780-day long, yours would be exactly 90% which is 457 days from now.
95% is achieved at 3382/3560 which is 2237 days from now
99.9% is achieved at 177822/178000 which is 176,677 days (484 years from now)
The answer is never (lol). Your best bet is that @siggy47 would somehow forgot his password
I will never root for @siggy47 to take a day off from SN.
Never!!!! I would be crushing all of you if it wasn’t for remote Alaskan Islands!
Whats needed to extend the streak of "being a cowboy" ? By consistently making posts or comments ?
Keeping your cowboy hat.
Top posts isnt even about Bitcoin anymore?
bitcoin isn't funny or interesting
You're saying that an unrestricted money with built-in NGU system isnt interesting?
lol. How's that been working out for ya?
It was worth 2 pizzas for 10k "funny coins". Now its about 64k which buys much much more pizzas. Regret that i didnt knew this thing earlier
exactly
do you see an NGU somewhere?
Dumbest question to ask against the best sub-20 year old asset
dumbest observation to make against the worst non-performing asset in almost 3 years.
You're down 4% since you first wrote that above; -30% for the year; and about the same performance (-23%) as NVIDIA when the latter has the worst scandal in a decade
You, my friend, are a verifiable idiot.
A dog can only bark😂😂😂
You literally compare a "peer to peer electronic cash" which is effectively a digital-native currency against a top-5 yield-generating STOCK globally.
If u wanna talk currency even Turkey Lira/USD perform much worse than this.
If u wanna cherrypick a specific stock look at how bad TTD or SQQQ performance since 2024 cause u idiot somehow bring up a "3 year" timeframe out-of-nowhere😂😂😂
Oh shit u idiot even dont know what "3 years" mean😂😂😂
2024 opening price was 42k-ish and now its at 64k-ish. Even a toddler knows that the price is going up from basic subtraction😂😂😂
I think NGU narratives alone are not enough to end fiat.
I want to see Bitcoiners pissing off politicians for attempting to live outside fiat with local Bitcoin economies and a general boycotting of trad-fi. That's when we see real NGU tech.
Instead, Bitcoiners think they can just hodl and everything will be fine. It's pissing me the fuck off. Where's our revolution???
My entire net worth is in Bitcoin, and I'm sure @denlillaapan is stacking as well. So, we are mostly just giving you a hard time..... joking around....
But jokes aside, I am pissed at this community. Our continued tolerance of fiat is the number one thing holding back Bitcoin's NGU potential.
Good. SN needs to have a variety of things people talk about not just be a Bitcoin forum. It's great that it is an awesome and informative place for Bitcoin discussion but it doesn't need to be all Bitcoin all the time. One of my biggest gripes about Nostr was all anybody ever talked about on there was nostr.
I guess you're correct on that. Having a forum only about one niche topic would eventually make itself an echo chamber
