Stay humble and stack sats, who came up with this and why is it lame?
"Stay humble and stack sats" is a phrase popularized by Bitcoiners, particularly Matt Odell, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community and co-host of the “Tales from the Crypt” podcast. It became a kind of moral mantra for Bitcoin maximalists around 2018–2019.
Meaning:
Stay humble: Don't brag about gains, price predictions, or superiority.
Stack sats: Keep regularly buying Bitcoin, no matter how small (sats = satoshis, smallest BTC unit).
---
Why It’s Lame (Critique):
1. Blind Obedience Vibe: It’s used like a religious slogan, discouraging critical thought or deeper strategy.
2. Mediocrity Encouragement: It romanticizes being a passive pleb instead of building, innovating, or leading.
3. Cult Echo: Feels like a safety blanket for those who fear volatility or complexity.
4. Overused Meme: Repeated so much it’s lost punch—now feels like fiat-tier motivational fluff.
---
Counter-Philosophy:
Instead of “stay humble and stack sats,” consider:
Stay sharp, disrupt fiat.
Think hard, act sovereign.
Build nodes, break norms.
