Howdy newbie,
You are scratching your head. BTC is pumping like crazy. But aside from a few posts that state how BTC has reached its ATH in many currencies, Stacker News is surprisingly devoid of the exhilaration you would expect from a BTC-centric site.
I am not embarrassed to share my posting history. Look at my string of zero sats and learn from me!
But why Stackers don’t care about price? You mean, they are not true Bitcoiners, you gasp? 😦
No, Stackers hold themselves to higher, more noble ideals. They aim to acquire the Bitcoin Standard, which means that they pay for EVERYTHING using their sats. I’m sure they are happy that they can buy more stuff when BTC surges in price, but it seems that getting out of the fiat cycle and the crunches of banks and loan companies is a life-affirming reward in itself. I will shy away from using my articles, so let’s look at other Stackers’ articles as a reference:
In fact, you will do better if you post your questions and observations about UTXOs instead. Stackers are all about optimising their sats through strategic transactions.
Okay, Sensei, are you really sure that Stackers care more about freedom than BTC’s price? It might just hit $100k this quarter, you know!
Yes, I’m sure. Just key in the word “Homeschooling”. You will find a flurry of posts from Stackers sharing either their homeschooling experiences or how they homeschool their kids.
They are not willing to let their children be manipulated and indoctrinated by the ways of state schools. They rather their children grow up independent and thinking critically and creatively. For a fierce discussion on the merits of homeschooling, you should check this out.
I don’t have the data but I’m willing to bet that a disproportionately high percentage of Stackers are homeschooling their kids. After all, if you free yourself of the fiat prison, you will want to prevent your children from stepping on the hedonistic treadmill in the first place.
Great articles make three compelling points. I’m willing to venture that more Stackers engage themselves in a purely carnivorous diet than the general population. Yes, zero vegetables - contrary to conventional wisdom. Just scroll through the posts on the ~health territory. Unfortunately, I haven’t obtained enough insights to say any persuasive things about my observation yet, so this third point will remain my hypothesis. Stackers do the research and free themselves from the conventional wisdom of a balanced diet.
So, my Padawan, post about Freedom, not Price!
Sending happy sats to @0b1CoinObi because he inspired me to write this post
