Cowboy Credits are not the innovation.
Sats aka BITCOIN that’s used in real time on social media is the innovation.

Cowboy credits are Chucky Cheese tokens they are NOT money.

People come to Stacker News for value… because their time is valuable and they want higher quality discussion that’s rewarded with SATS. SATS are the innovation not chucky cheese tokens or ‘YouTube likes’.

SATS are an early implementation of the Lightning-based economy they are, if imperfect, the entire point.

anons do not provide any value here on SN... are just anons paying to post.

The value on SN is the information exchanged, not the sats.
Zaping sats to each others is kind of dumb.
But paying to post is the innovation. And is workinng. See? you as anon, you only PAY TO POST, you cannot get sats hahahahaha

Who came here on SN to "earn sats" missed the entire point of SN.

We pay for groceries.
We pay for electricity.
And we shouldn’t pay for the “information exchanged?”

Why not???
Paying and earning sats for quality information is what makes SN special

You pay to post. That's all.

Sats in sats out.
They shouldn’t only be one way

reply
They shouldn’t only be one way

So why do you post as anon?
Same as me, I am using CCs only, so supposedly people cannot give me sats, only CCs that remain inside SN. What is wrong with that I want a circular economy INSIDE SN?

Or you do not understand how the term "circular economy" works?

Because it’s easier to protect my privacy and… because I’m lazy.

I earn sats through labour… I don’t come to SN to ‘earn’ sats.

If you want to only use CCs then fine.
But please don’t dictate what others do with their time or sats.

Up until stacker news there had never been such a forum… that allowed the trade of information for value. THAT is the innovation.

If you want to use CCs go ahead but they are not what SN is about.

Privacy doesn't mean you are not using a nym. It means you do not reveal your real life identity.
Saying that you use anon is protecting your privacy is dumb.

I am paying to post, so I am entitled to say whatever I want.

And… others are entitled to receive sats for their goods posts.

Thats how SN should work.
