Firstly, a nappy NY to stackers, wherever you are, where the fuck did 2024 go already?
While most people make resolutions, I don't really do that, but I do have some bitcoin goals and things I haven't yet done.
The first is to run a node, I got some advice here a while back on that and decided I needed to buy a new device to do it, my flaccid old laptop I was going to repurpose is too shit even for a pruned note, so I will set start saving for something new and dedicated.
the second main thing I want to do is get a bitaxe and, technically, become a miner. now it's just a play toy basically, but I think it will be interesting to at least have some small interaction with the mining side as it's still largely an abstraction.
finally, I will try and find a more reliable way of securing new clients, it's rough going out there being self-employed guys, no paid sick days, no planned raises and inflation keeps on going etc. More clients = more opportunities to build the stack.
Looking back through the year, I can say I stacked as much as I possibly could, discovered SN (the only legit v4v sat earning game in town), learned more about Austrian economics, and started non-kyc buying, so onwards and upwards from here
I am very new to Bitcoin and not sure if I would say I am late, but I am happy that I have started walking on this path. Right now, I have zero BTC; the only Bitcoin I have is what I got on SN when I joined recently and people paid me on my post and comments. I am learning about Bitcoin, and you can say I am at scratch right now. My goal from 2025 is to learn as much as I can and buy whatever sats I can. I hope to start this year. I wish you a very happy new year!

no matter when you came to bitcoin, you always feel late, it's part of the game. you're in a good place to learn and gradually become a maxi :) happy stacking!
reply
Thank you so much! Yes, I am super thankful that I discovered this place. Everyone here is very helpful, especially Darthcoin; I am reading his guides.

2025 is going to be a lean year for me. I've been stacking real hard.
It really depends on the price of BTC, but I'd really love to stack over .1 btc in 2025.

I was telling my son my goal for this year is stack 1btc and he said, he was watching this lifting video, where the guy was saying, if you say you're gonna add 10kg to the bench as a goal, you will struggle.
But if you say I'm gonna add 50kg, you might not get there but you'll smash 10kg out the park
So my goal is 10btc stacked this year

good one, like the quote if you aim for the moon and you miss, you still land among the stars
reply
Happy new Year to you too!
I cancelled some insurances and subscriptions this December so I can stack even harder tomorrow, and 2025 in total!
My goal: Staying humble and stacking harder
reply
smart move, a man (or woman) can never stack enough sats
reply
I will try to stack 10M sats.

a noble stacking goal for sure

2025
  • Get my node back up and running
  • Stack Harder
  • Release a nostr app
  • Obtain a paralegal certificate
  • Write more
  • Do well in both jobs
Honorable mention to going back to school and finishing my degree
reply
nice, what kind of nostr app you thinking?
reply
A running app
  • Record your run and once click share to nostr with
  • A Feed of all running related nostr posts
  • Listen to your liked and saved Wavlake music while running
  • Goals and Achievements
  • NWC
  • Works as a PWA compatible with the Amber signer for login
Right now the wavlake music doesn't play and the thing needs to be tested for bugs.
reply
nice, sounds ambitious!
reply
Yeah, hopefully I can get the main features working soon. I'll probably test a few runs and release it on SN and Nostr.
Feels like I have a bunch of projects to get to. Would be awesome if this one gained traction.
reply
My 2025 goal is to get rid of my computer, and go full mobile(w/ GrapheneOS) as my daily driver for everything. I'm already at 90%. I might make a SN post in the future.
reply
i think i've heard of GrapheneOS on nostr somewhere. what's the main motivation, just to avoid all the spyware etc?
reply
Not just that. GrapheneOS is the most secure OS on mobile. If you are a cypherpunk, it's the way to go. I highly recommend you leave stock Android and iOS. DYOR.
reply
At least double my stack.
reply
i don't make enough to do that with the main stack, but i might try and double the amount of zaps i stack from SN
reply
Like your nym...
STACK HARDER
STACK SATS AND STAY HUMBLE 🧡

as he said @NovaRift I am also new to this, although years ago I proposed to make my own mining machine with Linux, using a CPU and looking for which cryptocurrency was mineable with my hardware, I also found thanks to Mr. SN, and now I have in my LNWallet some sats so I can say that without my first official bitcoin, and I also wish in this Gregorian journey that begins, to achieve knowledge about BTC and to be able to grow my digital assets. Maybe I will take up the idea of mining and getting other coins or tokens to acquire sats and increase the capital of BTC. everything is organization and projection if the Lord allows me.
thanks for sharing and sats to all.
