Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Sorry for your cowboy loss 🤠 good to see you back in the saddle
Baby girl fell sick and had a fever, so my wife had to take childcare leave to take her to the doctor. To dampen this curveball a bit, I used my sats on SN to buy a $6 worthy of takeout food voucher on Bitrefill. I got 97 sats as cashback. It’s good to neutralise the bitterness of life’s trials.
Hang in there. We recently went straight from an ear infection to bronchitis. Hopefully, your daughter will be more cooperative about following doctors' orders.
curious - did you take baby to take any vaccines? or is it a must?
I feel like, as a parent, you are way more worried about the kid getting sick than you are being sick yourself - unconditional love is quite a fascinating thing.
Her fever has subsided. I’m still amazed at how babies fall in n out of sickness so inexplicably (and inevitably) haha
Howdy!

Hey is @Natalia still in the saloon? Got a question ever been to Cappadocia, Türkiye
This underground city looks cool AF

Awesome
Turkey is in a fascinating land, like there is always something to do each month, and you will never get bored, maybe it is your favorite fruits' season, or rose or lavender season, or even nuts.

I spent quite some time to learn about when it's the best time go to where, seeing specific things, like cultural celebrations or nature wise, still improving it 😂 such a nomad, indeed!

What a day to hit a 100 hat streak.
Here's to 1000 more.

would be need to see cowboy notifications sort of like how reddit has their "cake day" thing...
Definitely need something like this
Congrats on your 100 117.
Not stopping to peak at 117 days?
You could aim for 1,170 days (just over 3 years).
Yeah, I'll aim for the 1170 haha!
Maybe something special will happen on 117?? We will see!
Looking forward to it.
BTW has any stacker solved your extensive bio puzzle yet?
Technically yes, but only after few helpful hints and fixing some misinterpretations of the clues. Partly my fault, which ended up a theme in my puzzles, even though I thought I double-checked their solutions enough . There was a ln.cash URL in that image that led to some sats that was claimed.
Maybe I'll polish up the puzzle a bit, add a few rules that the puzzle follows, and re-release it. It was really fun to make, and I could use more feedback.
Sadly txt.fyi is no more, it was very handy for cool little internet dead drops haha

Touched 49k briefly 👀
Sell the news lmao
ETF feels like the Super Bowl to me, or some comparable thing -- top of mind, everyone talking about it. But I assume to normies this is not the case. Anyone have any anecdotes of how this is impacting non-bitcoiners? Comments they're making, anything?
They don't seem to viscerally hate it as much as I expected. Progress?
Should be interesting to see if public opinion begins to shift once Blackrock et al. roll out their marketing.
It seems about as impactful to them as any other new ETF (or financial instrument in general).
Hugh day in the space all! 15 years after Hal Finney mined the first block from Satoshi the ETF’s got approved. Congrats we front ran Wallstreet! Bitcoin IPO day let’s go!
US markets open, ETFs live.
Hold onto your hats, cowboys.
So much for going dark... Don’t you have something to be doing fiat related right now? lol
Let's just say that today has not been a productive day.
It's cool, I can make up for it over the weekend.
But this is just too good to miss.
Agreed. Screw theoretical economics for the day .. this is happening.
(Insert meme of Jacko eating popcorn)
It's funny, I am not a trader and basically everything I have is in cold storage (aside from some miners). If BTC shot to the moon tomorrow it wouldn't really impact my life because I'm not selling anytime soon.
...but there is something primal about seeing NGU that I can't resist. If we wicked to $100k by next week, I bet even @DarthCoin would cream his pants.
Agreed. I’m still trying to pull in the fiat while I can.
Darth waould describe it as ‘inevitable’.. while sending his suit for dry cleaning.
re-posting from @DarthCoin
I AM CALLING FOR ALL BITCOINERS WITH BALLS, FOR MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE OF 2024 AND ONGOING !
Today I have 4 entire years of TOTAL civil disobedience and more than 8 years of not paying any taxes to thieves !
If I was able to do it, you can do it too!
Oh, you don't know what is "civil disobedience" ?
Here is a TLDR:
IT'S ABOUT SENDING A MESSAGE AND NOT ABOUT GETTING RICH...
view on primal.netI read those in terms of priorities bottom to top.

I was wondering where @davidw go?

and maybe carrying a red pen around? 👀
Thursday is here, also known as little Friday, and it's time to crank up the energy, almost time for the weekend and to relax so come on gang, let's do this!!! If you feel like you're not giving your A game, just think of the end result or your goal to accomplish and make it into smaller ones, and just do one at a time, you've got this and I believe in you, I'm proud of what you've done, if difficulties are getting tough, know that they too shall pass and you will remain standing, always with a head held high because you're important and you know you're awesome. Keep on keeping on gang!! May your day be phenomenal and full of success! As always, be well and stay frosty!! Let's doooooo this!!
Maybe we need something like Tor but for Lightning only.
A big problem with Tor is that there are few exit nodes because people don't want to be responsible for illegal stuff other people would be exiting through their nodes.
But with Lightning there wouldn't be that problem. Everybody can relay Lightning messages through the internet. Whatever, your ISP doesn't know what payments those are anyways - and even if he knew they could from anyone n the Lightning network
Scanned through my seventh graders’ self-introduction pieces and was horrified at their spelling errors. Picked their 3 most common errors and imparted these spelling tips to them. Hope this helps someone else other than my students.

Told my kids this morning that today is a very special day and Hal Finney is a hero.
Howdy there! I'm new on SN and I am trying to get my head around the reward system.
Got 2698 sats stacked, but the notifications says that 2413 are from the first shared post, and other 1733 from rewards and I understand there's some fees that go to the reward pool. In any case, shouldn't be my total stack equal or near to 4146?! What am I missing? I don't get it

Brown eyed women and red grenadine.
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Fresh brand new Umbrel install, and the blockchain is currently syncing. Only 30% after 24 hours.... will keep chugging along.
Waiting for the markets to open today to see how interesting things go.

just dedicated some of my hash power to ocean pool. If we all put X% of our hash power to the ocean pool, we'd be better off. keep up the good work
Morning stackerz! it's been a while and I don't have much time but I hope you are all well. This year big things stir!
Thanks. I hope everything will be okay this year.
No pandemic,
No war,
No poverty,
No injustice,
etc.
But it seems that all are already available...
thankfully my life seems free of all those things
Day 271 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

👍
Today is the day!
Day 52 of horseposting everyday
Horse Stance: 1 minute x 2 set (too man squats yesterday)
𓃗
https://m.stacker.news/11785
max push-ups: 33
Day 21 keeping the cowboy hat 🤠⚡ yeeeehaaaaw
Remember the mood this time last year? We were in goblin town thanks to the FTX dump, trading below $20k.
How sentiment changes.
I remember the mood 2 years ago as well… swings from high-to-low and back again.
Ah yes, just coming down off the second peak...
You were only a day away snail for the ETF. Just too speedy. 🫡
The real question is if we even make it to day 300!
I plan to take some time for @oracle eliminations posts today.
Maybe I can even get them automated and host a site with a chart for better overview on which dates bets were placed.
I think a few people will be getting their hopes up…
Still be going on day 500…. You are going to be massive!
We shall see 🤔
Good job… strong like Kong grrrrr!

New SEC approved ETFs,
Governments seeking control,
BTC goes on….
Yes, BTC doesn’t need such attention. It steadily does its own thing, dances to its own tune
Tick-tock as they say…

It is what it is - im really not that excited or bothered. It won’t go the way everyone thinks or wants…
yes, just gonna focus on my own thing - I guess you really need to set your own priorities, otherwise others would set for you, with all the endless new things.
I would rather be a sail boat under the power of my chosen breeze than sat bobbing about waiting for someone else’s.
This line is dripping with poetry
I have always liked you lol
But you never dedicate a haiku to me (yet)
def, the less you depend on others, the more free you are.

and then there is also Canva pro, 849.99 TL yearly ( about 60k sats ), I think people in the US are paying 270k sats yearly.
Good, but I've downloaded thousands of songs without paying a single sat by using SpotiFlyer free via github or F-droid.
