So many ppl getting their panties inna bunch about Gensler for delaying spot etfsโ€ฆ
Saylor always liked Gensler โ€” he understands bitcoin very well, understands what it implicates. So does the USGov, and theyโ€™re doing whatever they can to try to control the situation.
Meanwhile heโ€™s probably building a big case against ETH as a security
Enjoy ur cheap sats

Yeah. IMO the SEC's not gonna move before their concerns about price manipulation are allayed and Binance is reined in.
Until that day comes, I shall continue to slurp this scrumptious little dip. Mmmm.

If I were to make a podcast app, it'd be centered around making it trivial to create a podcast. I know were all fatigued by our friends creating podcasts, but the barrier to entry is still too high. It's still too much a medium for celebrities, influencers, and motivated narcissists ... and everyone is capable of talking and opining.
AI could probably help a lot stitching short form audio back and forth conversations into a listenable experience.

On satistics page, get our own charts & graphs as a summary of the table data. Much like analytics pages.
Would love a visual chart of stacks & spends in comparison to the activity of the overall site. Plus data filters to choose our preferred period. Gracias!

แ•ฆ(รฒ_รณห‡) Day 11 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens
Went to sleep around 2AM and woke up at 9AM. I went with my phone on low battery into bed. I know it's not a good habit and I didn't do it for the last 5 days or something but I really wanted to watch something for a few minutes before sleeping for some reason. And it was indeed just a few minutes (like a compromise I did with myself). Also, my phone was dying anyway. I thought I would get up and plug it in before I start to sleep but I didn't.
Fortunately, my circadian rhythms seems to already be strong enough such that I wake up at 9AM without an alarm anyway.
I then went for a run but I noticed within 5 minutes that my legs are exploding, lol. Felt soreness at spots I don't feel sore usually (at the shinbone for example). Took this as a sign I should take it easy today before I hurt myself or it's even worse tomorrow. So I just went for a short walk in the forest. Guess all this walking in the past days is still showing.
Also took this as a sign that the habit of exercising early in the morning is forming itself: My mind wants to exercise but my body does not.
I think one of the biggest mistakes is to not listen to what your body is trying to tell you. It tells you when it wants to exercise and when it doesn't. Imo, that's also why we feel bad when we don't exercise since we can feel our body longing for some exercise but our mind is not listening. Now I am at the spot where my mind wants to exercise more than my body. Not listening to my body again would destroy the habit in the long run again.
I should maybe start to look for other areas in my life that I can improve. I used to do intermittent fasting in the past and it worked really well. I want to do this again. Maybe I'll start in the next days.
See you around, cowboys!
reply
You are doing great. Maybe the focus should be on โ€˜activityโ€™ rather than โ€˜exercisingโ€™. And donโ€™t forget to stretch!
reply
Maybe the focus should be on โ€˜activityโ€™ rather than โ€˜exercisingโ€™
Yep, but I can't change the text of the streak now, can I? haha
And donโ€™t forget to stretch!
Good point, I think I should stretch even without exercise more. I usually stretch before but I think stretching afterwards is also if not even more important?
reply
Stretching before is ok but not really necessary other than mobility and activity specific.
Really the idea of a warm up is to prepare the body for exercise (increase heart rate, blood flow and warmth into working tissues and psychologically)โ€ฆ.
Purpose of the cool down is to return the body to homeostasis / normal (decrease heart rate etc) and allows the opportunity to maintain and improve flexibility through a stretching sequence. To my mind stretching afterwards is more important as it aids recovery and may help alleviate Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

I have a complaint about Stacker Saloon. When my day is winding down and I feel like kicking back, grabbing a beer and chatting with my favorite stackers, they are all sleeping or busy living their lives. The place is dead. This is unacceptable. Therefore, I am asking that all the people I want to chat with either:
  1. Relocate to the eastern time zone, or
  2. Rearrange their days.
Thanks in advance.

I learned something interesting this morning: it's Prophet Muhammad's birthday and mine too; what a nice coincidence, but I knew that people use the Isalm calendar to determine the date of Muhammad's birthday, while mine uses the modern Gregorian date.
Basically, what I am trying to say is that we have different calendars in different cultures, and then you would end up having different birthdays. so which one is the right one, or what if none is correct? E.g. my mum wished me happy birthday the other day, but friends think it's today, but at the end of the day, it's just another day in my life - did I age one year during this day? Absolutely Not.
I remember reading from a book that our real age is not determined by outside factors, not even time; Time is only a measurement, not the ageing factor. So part of me felt like birthdays are only calculating the physical time, making it easier for others to "know" you, but that's superficial.
Here are my not-so-crazy morning thoughts, thanks for reading.

Did some DYOR on Bitwage before I drink myself silly here
  • It seems that Bitwage favours people living in the Western world at present since it empowers people who accept USD, EUR, GBP & CAD in remuneration with the option to accept Bitcoin.
  • But all is not lost if you donโ€™t work for a company that pays the above types of fiat. Bitwage doesnโ€™t just let you accept your salary in BTC. If you are registered with Airbnb or Booking.com, you can implement 100% BTC payouts with Bitwage, where the spread is 1%. Or you can choose partial BTC payment and partial local bank deposit.
  • If you are a freelancer on Fiverr or Upwork, you can also make use of Bitwage, provided that you accept USD, EUR, GBP & CAD as payments.
If your salary isnโ€™t paid out in these four currencies, have you found a way to get onboard with Bitwage?
