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!

I now realise that taking an Ethereum loan by putting Bitcoin as collateral was a mistake.

It would have been better if I had taken USDT.

Now I'm sure that I'm not getting the red square notification icon I was talking about here: #430959

I also see the option is gone from the settings. I just unsubbed and resubbed to ~UFOs to see if that might do anything.

Everyone was waiting for a price pump to release stuff?

Rest assured, scammers and impersonators will continue to sully themselves in the name of their god.

most people cannot comprehend what’s coming…

Prediction- some big players, maybe some hedge funds, were playing around in the futures market and just got rekd. They have no idea what they're dealing with.

A journalist friend sent me a message today; ‘Hope you haven’t sold your Bitcoin?’ along with a link to an article he wrote for a mainstream broadcaster. 6-months ago I told him to download WoS and I would send him some Sats…. He didn’t and it’s his loss. You get BTC at the price your deserve.

reply

Nobody in my circles has mentioned it yet. That's what's so wild about this... nearing ATH before halving and barely a peep from normieland.

I've been megatard bull for a while now, but this is just spooky.

reply

Ok - serious question - how has the digital downtime been today?

reply
reply

That’s a 4-minute delay so I guess that’s its own answer….

reply

He'll tell his other friends and the FOMO will get more intense.

reply

I guess we will find out soon enough….

reply

63k and climbing.... this is insane...

I can finally look my coworkers in the eye that I convinced to buy during ATHs in 2021 😂

reply

Is it weird that I am slightly terrified by this PA?

reply

same... just tapped 64k...
was hoping for a crash to buy more but i think we keep going

reply

Is it just me or is Stacker News unusually busy today? I can't keep up with all the new posts!

wasn't loading for me for a while... did price action slow down the site? :P

@siggy47 you in here cowboy? After taking your advice I got a new dilemma now. Do I KYC again to withdraw the BTC I bought instead of paying my debt? Or should I sell withdrawal do an ETF to another exchange and rebuy?!?

reply

I was listening to a podcast yesterday that discussed just what we were talking about. Of course I can't remember which one now. Basically the gist of it was that Saylor borrowed fiat to buy bitcoin. It's a double benefit. You buy an appreciating asset with a depreciating asset, and you get the benefit of knowing that your act of borrowing "prints" more fiat, causing it to depreciate even faster. As to your situation, I don't know. I'm confused myself. Confession- 2 years ago I used one of those credit card 0% offers to buy bitcoin. I knew I could swing paying it off through the term. That felt good, but I'm not recommending it!

reply

Yeah I did that too that worked out great. But I guess from your perspective KYC’ing to withdrawal isn’t a big deal?

reply

I don't understand what you mean?

reply

Well the privacy maxis say don’t KYC with an exchange to withdrawal your bitcoin because it destroys your privacy. Buy it peer to peer to protect your identity and privacy . Because these platforms scan your ID or passport and they keep it sitting on a database that could be hacked which will then link you to your BTC purchases and the addresses you sent the BTC to.

reply

Oh, Ok. Yes. I don't know if this is weird, bit I keep two piles. One kyc, one non kyc. I guess I'm still worried about the white list stuff, so I don't completely shun KYC. I figure I can have a boating accident and mix my coins down the road if that's the direction I decide to take.

reply

Good morning stackers.

Day 31 of 100 push ups till 100k completed.

I thought this would go on for quite some time, but with this price action, we might hit our target much sooner than I think.

reply

61k 👀

Another day, another >1/2 Billion of net inflows into ETFs... I find these numbers fascinating to watch daily...

reply

Good morning guys, took me a bit to send my post, but the morning has been quite busy but all is awesome just busy, it's the middle of the week and you know that you have to review your weekly goals and see what strategies are working for you, remember to visualize your goal, feel it and I guarantee it will become true, you're the creator of your reality. I'm proud of you and I believe in you, you matter and you're worthy my friend, have an amazing day and don't forget to be well and stay frosty!!

Can you see why?

It must be the name of a regional sweet or a singer :) who knows, maybe even a god ... ahahahahah

I can't, why?

I am confident someone will find the answer, don't want to spoil the fun yet 👀

Today an orange cat wandered onto my garden. She approached me and wrapped her tail around my leg and rolled onto my feet belly up. She was clearly hungry so I fed her a bit. It felt like a sign.

Oh, that's technology. During an update on my mom's tablet, the battery died and it stopped turning on. So I had to postpone everything and go to her place to help her with this problem.

Re-flashing helped, and even her collection of books and photos with her granddaughters remained intact :)

Double income FTW haha

Rewards are applied in the last 36 hours

reply

You really know the rewards system inside out!

reply

I've been looking at the source code :) and @Natalia posts (#252695 #392551) have also helped. I don't know if you've seen, but the rewards are no longer random, now we always get rewards for zapping and posting.

someone is paying attention 🤓

It's fall in the Southern Africa. I'm already in Malawi prior to the launch of local Bitcoin meetups. I can hardly find any way to spend Bitcoin in the country, except for very small business startups like the canteen by @lightwalker.

Why is it called horse stance?

reply

"zhan zhuang" is the right kungfu term. Horse stance coz position is like a jockey on top of a horse.

$100k before #840,000?

If that happens I have a good chance with our SN bet. @oracle

reply

Are at 100k yet? Has snail quit?

reply

It feels different now that it's closer to reality.

reply

We are losing cheap stacking time is how it feels :(

reply

I think we need another update from @oracle

reply

I think so…. Are we really not bullish enough?!?

reply

That's right! I thought I was ridiculously early with my pick. Maybe not?

reply

Certainly seems to be going in your favour…

reply

We shall see. Things are getting a little wacky. I miss the sleepy bear market, but the greedy little guy on my shoulder doesn't.

reply

Struggling to accept there will come a point where we can’t get the most vulnerable people on the life raft no matter how much we shout… Yet the fiat millionaires will still be able to buy in.

reply

It is depressing. I don't know if you have listened to Fred Kreuger? He's a retired Wall Street guy. His basic take is for us to grow up. The adults have taken over. Forget the little guy. Rich Americans now control bitcoin.

Hello stackers!!! Happy hump day!

Good morning everyone. Spring is in the air. Walking around outdoors without a jacket!

It happens. It's a little unusual. By the weekend the forecast is sub freezing temps again. I'll enjoy it while I can.

This fig tree is very advanced and produces figs without leaves on the branches. How is that possible?

I'm also trying to understand this! 😂

😂 Fig trees are not native to Portugal (they were brought from your area) and I've never seen this happen.

oh many things are brought into Europe from here! now that I'm digging a bit back. 👀

Are those figs?

yes 👀 so cute right! I didn't know they grow like this.

Man, that post fell through the cracks, huh? It deserved more zaps.

reply

Yes. But I don't think it was because they didn't like it, I must have posted it at the wrong time and it went unnoticed.

reply

I feel bad for ~security, I currently don't have the time to look through the recent feed and zap good content since it takes time to evaluate content. And when in doubt, I don't zap. But hopefully I'll be able to allocate some time to it soon. It's more a time management problem than a time amount problem.

Mentioning this since it might also be related to the territory founder not taking good care of their territory haha

But I heard that's not a good thing. Sometimes children go and even have to go their own way.

reply

hmmmm, too many expectations from parent is indeed not good, children are meant to be free to play.

reply

can always do a shoutout in the @saloon - once some high trusted stackers pick up your post, then it's easier to be noticed.

reply

Sometimes I do that. Thanks for reminding me. I must have forgotten I'd posted that myself 😂

reply

I think it needs to have more details, with some simple intro and how-to, ideally with some tips and tricks on how to use it.

It is fun, right? Are you on linux? Which distro?

yes! much fun.

Are you on linux? Which distro?

not yet, still on Mac with homebrew 👀 but happy to explore another operating system later!

Linux is the way for freedom. Not just another OS. I'm sure you will end up on Linux ;)
