# Posts of the Month

[Pleb Economist #8: What game theory can teach us about Bitcoin and self-custody](
https://stacker.news/items/1030571/r/Undisciplined)
Some neat game theory from @SimpleStacker about how the existence of self-custody keeps custodians (more) honest, even if no one is choosing to self-custody.
**August**
[$83 Billion Wasted: Showing Up At The Airport 3 Hours Before Your Flight](

**September**
[Stacker News Takes Over TABCONF 7](
https://stacker.news/items/1220292/r/Undisciplined)
This is @BlokchainB's announcement that he will be hosting a Stacker News booth at TabConf 7, where he'll be promoting the site and it's many territories. I'm deeply appreciative of what Blok's doing.
# Wildcards
I apologize for including so many options, but I really liked the variety of posts this month.
[SN Research Proposal](
https://stacker.news/items/1243188/r/Undisciplined)
The introductory post for @SimpleStacker's research project about Stacker News, which we'll get to follow in real time in the territory.
[Socialism In Plain Sight](
https://stacker.news/items/1069912/r/Undisciplined)
A nice discussion from @kepford of which aspects of the nominally capitalistic American economy are actually heavily socialized.
[How People Experiences The Path Towards Hyperinflation](
https://stacker.news/items/1049683/r/Undisciplined)
A firsthand account of how the average person experiences the lead up to hyperinflation, from @didiplaywell's experience in Argentina.
# End of Year Awards Update
Thanks to @BlokchainB's very generous boost, we have rocketed into profitability for the year. That means I can start calculating the writing contest awards.
As a reminder, this year's ~econ profits (up to around 600k) will be zapped out to the top posts of the month, quarter, and year.
Profits to date: 816.3k - 450k = **366.3k**
Zaps to each post of the month: 366.3k/3/12 = **10,175**
Zaps to each post of the quarter: 366.3k/3/4 = **30,525**
Zap to the top post of the year: 366.3k/3 = **122,100**
