## Stacker News in the Next 5 Years

Stacker News, where Stackers is people that's not just about stacking sats. It's about stacking knowledge, skills, relationships, attitudes. The goal is not necessarily how many sats you hold; it's sovereignty, love, peace, happiness, and satisfaction.

---

#### 1. Bitcoin at the Center

All interaction here is powered by the power of Bitcoin. That's what makes SN an outstanding community. Stacker News it's a V4V and PoW enabled people's economy. In my opinion, in the next 5 years, with more individuals living on Bitcoin Standard or Sats Standard whatever the preference, SN will be the most natural town square in the world to belong to it.


#### 2. A Global Town Square 

Stacker News will likely grow beyond its current mostly English-speaking audience, becoming a truly global community. I see multi-language territories. Territories in Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi, Swahili and etc.

Bitcoin adoption it looks is quicker in the Global South. That wave of merchants and individuals adoption will revolutionize SN as well. More stories from markets, villages, and cities where Bitcoin is already money and BTC & sats already the currency. Earning (as in ~jobs Territory), spending (as on ~AGORA Territory) and saving in sats (more resources as shared in ~Bitcoin Territory, ~Bitcoin_Beginners Territory and etc) = learning to, and living as sovereign individuals and sovereign communities.


#### 3. A P2P And V4V Economy

By 2030, SN's value-first, community-verified economy will be immune to fiat manipulation. The culture remains: no masters, no slaves, only peers.


#### 4. Stackers

SN is already where Bitcoiners learn from each other. That role only grows in the next 5 years: tutorials, circular economy case studies, self-sovereignty tools, memes that are one of the modern tools for peaceful revolution. 


#### 5. The Bigger Picture

Stacker News in the next 5 years is not just a website or a forum. It's:
*Sovereign individuals exchanging value daily.
*A Bitcoin-based (based on the real money) economy of work, services, and culture.
*Communities and "Bitcoin tribes" thriving therein.
*Nostr identities and portable reputation so you’re never trapped.

*And above all: a place where stackers stack not only sats, but also, stacking knowledge, skills and tools, stacking sovereignty, stacking freedom, responsibilities, stacking relationships, stacking joy*.

#### We Stackers be like:

Potentially, I have the key to make earthly honey fruit trees.

In the next 5 years, SN it will be the global town square where free people meet to create and share a life of sovereignty, peace, and happiness — powered by Bitcoin and free, open-source tools.

There's a lot of much sense. Well explained.

Because I believe merchant adoption is the backbone of real adoption.

911

GFC
![](https://m.stacker.news/107720)

Both September 11 (9/11) and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) were well-known crises of the modern era. One was a horrific act of terror; the other, a failure from within the financial system itself. While 9/11 redefined security, the GFC redefined money, proving that power and trust was misrouted all along–eroding trust in the very structures that claim to protect prosperity.

Which one was worse, in your own opinion?

Outfit Opinions: Do You Sleep with a Watch/Smartwatch on Your Wrist?

Coinsreporter

I love to wearing wrist watch when awake. But not when going to bed. I think wearing a wrist watch when asleep may negatively affect the blood flow. I'm not a health expert, but I don't think it's good to sleep with a wrist watch on.
