What's with the hats???

[Chris!]

You know what I mean. What's with the hats with people's old avatars on them? I feel like it's gone way over my head.

[TryNinja]

IIRC, madnessteat does that.

I found this thread (it's in Russian) where he lists some hat avatars he did for some users.

[hacker1001101001]

I think its related to most of the posters in the Wall Of Observers thread.

I have observed many users wearing similar hat avatars in the thread.

Perhaps it was started in the middle of October 2018, from these posts.

That's what I thought too. When I first post there, micgoossens said:

First post in here?

Come more often and own an XhomerX HAT

Actually it's xhomerx10 who does them.
madnessteat has been doing a couple of them lately (that I know of) but the original ones are from xhomerx10.
And yeah, they're for the guys in the WO thread.

xhomerx10 has done my avatar as well ... what a boss. Gave him a trust for it.

Alright lol I guess the real question was what do they mean, if anything?

Not sure if they mean anything . However hat wearers tend to be BTC bulls

[jojo69]

I believe this could explain it better

I believe that the making of the hats started from the mid-October series of posts; however, I believe that some of the hat discussion was inspired from 1) HairyMclairy's assertion that he would eat his hat (which was more than a year ago.. can't recall exactly), 2) BlindMayor (which is now seemingly channeled through Rosewater Foundation) asserting that there would be some benefits for WO participants to give up their pants to BM (which was around the time of the Bcash forkening - I believe after the forkening, perhaps?),  and of course, some ongoing playing on the clothing and hat themes with 3) Micpeep frequently posting his various bitcoin related hats (including the bear and bullhats) that seemed to had caused some envy (bitcoin related bull/bear hats were being posted by micpeep for the past 6 months or so)

Anyway this is the stuff that makes Bitcointalk fun to read - the drama, not so much. Those guys at Wall Observer have their own world.

[bitcoinPsycho]

It is part of natural human being behavior! We should note this!!

It could be that we are human. Can't get away from that hat

[Last of the V8s]

Did someone promise to eat his hat if the price went below a particular level?

by the way, where is that pants guy?

he figures in the hat saga

Lol apparently BfX has said deposits / withdrawals resume tomorrow.  Unconfirmed rumor.  It’s not on their Twitter.  

have you ever eaten a hat?

then next few posts riff on hats. then

There ain't no such thing as a free hat. This will end doomily. Wait for it.

maybe Kucoin has their own vested intenrest in feeding the tether fud.  

Precisely.  It's all whale games.
Give this man a new hat.

Edit: trying to post from my phone... sorry no proper image tools

Good good .... Then for once you can’t outperform all the rest

 I'm home

it was a very long day. the second cap

Volume is still looking nice.

People seem confused and disorientated. Like they just got hit on the head with a hammer, while wearing a hat, before eating it.

Something is wrong with the mayor. seems confused. too much herb?

He's fine. He's right where I left him. Wrapped in plastic.

Now, can we please stay on topic.

I'm trying to think!

 Here's a thinking cap.

It was a joint effort to keep us amused and away from squabbling, as the price kept on going sideways or down at that time.
If there is a meaning to them, it's something to do with unity and generosity in adversity.
Comrade Homer has been promoted many times for his services to millinery and the thread and now goes by Comrade Generalissimo Saint Sir xhomerx10, which thoroughly understates his kindness and import.

Somewhere I recently heard this phrase)

[Chris!]

I don't believe a word of it! I know you're all plotting against me, trying to confuse me so I am more vulnerable to attacks!

Why are you doing this to me?! Who hired you?!

Get out of my head gahhh!!

Translation from Russian:

Where are these hats?

These caps are used in the English-language topic:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.459000

This is a famous brand of caps https://store.goorin.com/the-pointer-trucker-baseball-cap.
The proposal to use these caps on the forum came from the user micgoossens.
I made one cap for him.

Now such caps are made by the user xhomerx10 he liked my work. I made one such cap for user xtraelv.

Update: To avoid offtop here, I created a separate topic.
