I checked out the BMW 420I that I will buy next week. Had an amazing test drive. Interior is fantastic and it is my first serious car. Happy to afford it thanks to btc.

😂😂 I was thinking to buy it or not but I just stacked enough btc. I do not wan all the bitcoins only to my self. By the way you need enjoy life as well. Stacking btc is one of the best thing in life. However, you should not forget that you have an opportunity cost.

I need coffee... Maybe #zap me will help 🥱🫂
I’m quite new here and just wondered if that is how zaps work?

Satbucks latte for me for free please and thank you.

Do you want to know about Machankura Wallet? We're actually using it in Africa, to send and receive bitcoins without internet.
Today I want to talk about opportunity zones. I would suggest that everyone cross reference crime rates and natural disasters with opportunity zones in there state. If you are Truth seekers who would like to be at least semi aware for safety reasons, please look into it. Let me know what you think please?
is SN ready to 10x?
Quality > Quantity
Do we want that?
gonna happen whether you want it to or not.
There's "six million" redditors subscribed to /r/Bitcoin. One front page post redirecting a small fraction of them over here will probably be enough to double or triple user count overnight.
I think we've already had front page posts afaik. I'd guess <100k of those 6m are "bitcoiners" and that's who we appeal to until we have user generated subs.

withdrawing sats stuck in pending for hours... help!! @k00b @ekzyis
Everything looks good on our end.
I can try to help you figure out what's happening with more info.
Hmm so zero sats on the destination wallet and also deducted here, still shows as pending. What info do you need and can we DM somewhere?
Sats will be deducted here until the payment completes or fails. Payments like this can get stuck if hops on the route aren't sending along the payment for whatever reason.
t.me/k00bideh or npub1qkfnmpuz692azr8c5phn0930x2v92xyqvwgr6ve8znaa3qd6c3hq09ertp
I looked into this further and based on where the money is being sent, I'd guess the problem is on the receiving end and you should reach out to the devs of the software you're using.
Thanks. I don't quite get why it still shows as Pending
If I don't do anything what happens? Rugged?
Somewhere along the route the payment is being held and not passed on. I'd guess it's a bug in one of those hops or the wallet itself (I'm trying to be discrete).
If the payment is held for too long the HTLCs will timeout and it'll effectively get refunded to your account.
Makes sense, thanks

lotta new bios it feels like today
Back to work, but going on a lunch break run and listening to coin stories!
Got together with some college friends over the weekend, a few of whom live in South FL. I mentioned I'd considered going to this year's Bitcoin conference and reaching out to them. One of them said "Yeah but didn't bitcoin die or something anyway?" Cue #wearesoearly comments ... Granted, they likely pay very little attention to any investing least of all anything as technical as bitcoin. It was a good reminder of what life is like outside the circles where I spend most of my time.
only 12M addresses have more than 0.01 bitcoin...
view on twitter.comYeah, on one hand it sounds very foreign to people, but on the other, Bitcoin is just money, so it's a day to day thing for everyone.
I guess it's similar to how most people don't really know how money works.
I had similar once; ‘hey, saw something on the news about that Bitcoin-coin thing you were banging on about. Is it back to rip more people off?’
Yup. It can get really easy to forget that countless people out there don't even know what Bitcoin is or that it exists, much less that it is not only alive but thriving. Most people have much more pressing concerns and don't want to learn about it so much.
Invited to go on friends' boat for Labor Day. Got back near ten, which is pretty late for me, and it threw me out of whack, so I'm posting a little late today. I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend and got on the week running! Tomorrow I start planning for The Miami Bitcoin Conference 2024...^_^
Working outdoors, sun is shining and the water is cool. A good day.
Good morning everyone!!! Tuesday is here and it's raining today so I'm going to let this rain wash away all the bad juju and recharge, it's been a good week, things are going smoothly and feel optimistic, I will, as always, send some good vibes to you as well, may your day be amazing and filled with success in your endeavors, we've got this!!! Thank you for being, thank you for reading and thank you for your absolute awesomeness!!! Be well my good friend and stay frosty!!!
Someone sent me 25k in sats to my SN wallet and I don’t know who or why it happened.
If you sent this to me in error please let me know

I didn’t make a meme. I just made sure the Hal meme won that day
Just got a letter saying a my info was part of a data leak including name, SSN, gender, birthdate, and address. Fuck KYC. (Letter was not from a bitcoin related business.)
Yup happens to me often I feel your pain
I just saw this bullish news: Luno and VALR to enable Bitcoin payments at Pick n Pay for their customers. For those of you who don't know, Pick n Pay is one of the largest retail businesses in South Africa: https://twitter.com/CryptoConverted/status/1698724965007143164
Watched "Beau is Afraid"... that is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.
Yeah that movie was a trip. Some scenes/sequences were so well done though, like him trying to run out across the street to the corner store and back. I get a little anxious going to big cities so I totally felt him lol
Is that the Joaquin Phoenix one?
Weird in a good way?
... I don't even know how to describe the movie. I thought it was good, but definitely the weirdest I've seen in a while.
Feeling the burn from being part of a scam my brother fell for regarding a bullshit crypto exchange.
I'm not too upset at him, since he didn't know any better; moreso I'm pissed at myself for throwing lots of money down the fucking drain.
Hope other stackers have better days than I will.
Younger or older brother?
Younger, four years my junior. Live and learn for both of us, I guess.
Damn. As a younger brother (I'm 33 he's 40ish) i cringed at how shamed I would feel for misleading my bro due to my own.. Whatever it was. Blindness, stupidity, naivety. I'd be worried that you'd never trust me again.
The worst aspect of my experience was that by the time I knew for certain it was a scam (certain things he told me raised red flags, but didn't trigger a full refusal to continue), it had already costed me fifteen short of $300.
At that point and doing research following a bigger loss on top of that, I engaged in sunk cost action and simply told him "keep me updated on whether you can pull all that out to your Lightning wallet or not."
I was pissed; at both his falling for it, and myself being the biggest loser.
I feel your pain going through something similar. Stay strong
Only silver lining here is that my motivation to find a job shot up tenfold, and I've already signed up for Bitwage so that all my paychecks once getting work will be in Bitcoin.
At least my remaining funds are secure.
Awesome good luck to you! Hopefully in this bear market you can accumulate as many sats as possible
I once was told, "stay humble, stack sats". How can you do it without SN? Happy to be here.

if you like to listen to podasts, the Fountain app is a good option to stack sats.. it's my biggest sats wallet, soon to be dethrone by SN ( i'm new here =D )
Glad to have you here buddy. Keep stacking those sweet SATS.

Gm. What risks are we taking today?
Good morning buddy. Hope you're having a blessed day. Just don't take too much risk.
Sorting out old photos earlier, I found this fun one I took in Ukraine 👀

That's expensive toilet paper! Lol.
and creative 🤣
Come on. Move it along. Nothing to see here.
Look who's here. Welcome @siggy47 - Missed you yesterday. How you doing?
Overslept. Three day weekend socializing takes its toll.
That's true. I'm glad to see you. Enjoy the rest, that's if you're not working today.
Today I must work. Good to see you too. Enjoy the day

snails mails
Lmao. Snail mail is the best. Welcome buddy.
Day 143 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.
__@_'-'
This is getting good now
👍
⚡️🐌⚡️
🫡
Going forward, the fastest cowboy in the Snaily Discussion Thread will receive 1000 sats.
If nobody beats the snail, these sats go into the rewards pool instead.
__@_'-'
We have created a monster; Snailenstein maybe..
Please clarify: the fastest cowboy reply to the snail @orthwyrm or the the fastest cowboy replying to the daily discussion thread?
The daily discussion thread, i.e. the first poster.
Thank you for clarifying. This will make posting here 10x more fun. I'm looking forward to the competition.
Yeah, that's the goal. I normally tip sats into the daily reward pool to keep my cowboy hat, but now I think I'll use them to encourage more activity in the daily as well.
If the snail gets tipped enough and I have a large surplus, then I'll do a mega dump at random.
I did not know I can keep my cowboy hat by tipping sats into the daily reward pool. I really like the idea of tipping the fastest cowboy and thank you very much for todays tip. You definitely made my day extra special.

You do (thanks)!
Fast!
Super fast. I love it.
Oooph. Seconds buddy.
Keeping my longest cowboy streak going until __@_'-' reaches its destination: 17
Faster!
Lol.
you're quick
__@_'-'
Lol. I like the competition.
