Meme Monday - Best Bitcoin Meme Gets 25,000 Sats

GwendolynGrant0V4

I've never purchased one, and right now I don't plan to. But the wannabe trader in me says that the environment is showing one thing while the narrative is largely in denial -- which usually means to buy in.

That said, I believe that if a thing can be done with Bitcoin, someone will do it. IMO this is not going away and will continue to wreck the mempool in the near term, but will drive adoption of layer 2 solutions like Lightning.

I guess I'm in the "No, Optimistic" camp, because it's not something that interests me much personally, and I'm optimistic that the Bitcoin community will solve for usability issues long-term.

In my previous posts about the crisis in Bangladesh, I mentioned about the plight of Hindus there while the incidents of racial violence have suddenly shot up in Bangladesh. The pro Islamists all around the world have been dismissing these claims. To tell you the sad truth, it's not now limited violence, it's a full scale genocide of Hindus by Islamic Extremists. 

I normally don't look at 'X' for updates but to know the truth what's now turned into a genocide, to know the truth behind it, here are a few links that tells the sad reality.

Look, how a hindu girl is made to remove lipstic and remove ornaments. Then she was beaten and forced to say that she'll not do it again.

A Hindu Bangladeshi girl tells what's happening there.

The dead bodies of Hindus are being found hanging on trees and under bridges isn't enough to call it a genocide, I don't know what will be.

This is the most informative video post by Hananya Naftali, an independent journalist. He's not an Indian. If he says, it's a genocide of Hindus there. What else do we need as proof?

Also read these updates about the voices from all around the world are erupting 'To Save Hindus in Bangladesh'. I know even with so much proof for this to be called a genocide, some people will dismiss it.

This is the best proof that their new leader has accepted the attacks (genocide of Hindus) by calling it 'heinous'. I think the world should relise that these attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh aren't merely a propoganda.

### **About Adverts**
Not sure if this is the best place or maybe [this thread](https://stacker.news/items/285344) is but FYI @kr...
- As an advertiser, would it not be preferred when a Stacker clicks the title of the post (green arrow), to be taken straight to my website in a new window? 
- Adding an additional step (i.e. the current ad page) will decrease click-throughs substantially. I imagine it's like a 90% drop-off.
- If it is clear it is an advert on the listing and people are clicking, I would want people to see the most amount of information possible, i.e. on my site. Clicking the comments could take people to this listing page (yellow arrow) if they are interested in what the community are saying. Or maybe this is just a configuration option.

After a month of madness, here we are in the last hours.
**``Congratulations, stackers!``**

You're about to receive your certificate of insanity 🤠
This month will be unforgettable, at least for me!

----

As we can see in the image below, the **TOP 10** hasn't changed much since the beginning.

### Some notes:

- On the 5th, I was in the top 5, and I think the other one was @davidw;
- In the first 3 positions, I think it was always the same people, but we don't know if there were any changes between them, only they will know. I respect the privacy of whoever it is, don't judge me;
- On the 10th and 17th, the tenth position would already be @Scoresby, who then came out of the shadows;
- @grayruby and @Scoresby are neck-and-neck for 8th place with the hidden one;
- @Undisciplined is vying with me for 6th place;
- @DarthCoin is in a close battle with @davidw for 4th place;

There are still a few hours left until the end and things can still change, who knows?
