+
+A field study by [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] of the small-stacker demographic of [[orgs/bitcoin-twitter|Bitcoin Twitter]], centered on the anonymous account [[characters/btchodlvirginia|@BTCHODLVirginia]].
+
+After a storm of angry tweets about SBF and "Berry Silbert," @BTCHODLVirginia complained that "shitcoiners" and "fiat maximalists" were hurting the BTC price, then declared: "We are never going under $17k again, goodbye cheap sats" — an early specimen of the [[bits/price-floor-proclamations|price floor proclamation]]. The article traces the same sentiment to the reply sections of [[characters/cory-klippsten|Cory Klippsten]], CEO of Swan Bitcoin, where followers decry "shitcoin scammers."
+
+The piece is the wiki's founding document for [[memes/stacking|stacking]]: it defines a "stack" as the act of "giving up all their personal information to some entity in order to exchange money from their bank account for Bitcoin," and describes the **stack chain** — a peer-pressure campaign in which users post public pictures of their weekly $25 purchases on [[sponsors/swan-bitcoin|Swan]] and Strike, along with their NOSTR public keys, in a collective attempt to raise the price of Bitcoin.
+
+> irl: The "stacksat chain" was a real early-2023 Bitcoin Twitter trend of quote-tweeting purchase screenshots. The article satirizes both the KYC irony of "self-sovereign" weekly buys and the genre of small holders issuing macro pronouncements.
