Nevertheless plebs have a role in the economy—to be an escape valve and present a viable alternative to those currently in fiat. Whereas the past 15 years in “crypto” has produced a lot of talking heads and influencers, the next 15 years could produce entire small-scale distributed societies of normal people—plebs—who are not only bitcoin holders, but bitcoin users.
The monetization of bitcoin continues, and acts as a de facto check against runaway government spending (hint, the government spending will continue as per Lyn Alden)
Absent any way to stop plebs, pleb lifestyle could proliferate as fiat lifestyles become more and more materialistic, vapid, and ultimately unsustainable.
And yet here on Stacker News, the only social network that is built on sats V4V P2P we have several prominent Bitcoin Maxis who resolutely refuse to attach wallets and participate in the BTC circular economy. @DarthCoin coin for example.
Even the OP does not have a gun showing on their profile. @jfz also has no gun.
Is this a problem within the Bitcoin community- that so many spout such bold echo chamber circle jerking virtue signalling nonsense but in practice cannot or do not even bother attaching wallets and participating in the BTC P2P circular economy that Stacker News has built?
Why does the OP not have a gun and thus ability to zap other participants in the Stacker News network?
If you are on here regularly the amounts can be quite significant.
Besides that the amounts do not need to be large for Stacker News to be a place where LN is used regularly and where it is tested and developed and strengthened.
Not attaching wallets undermines the effort to build and demonstrate a functional BTC denominated social media platform.
Stacker News is a live test bed where Bitcoiners can participate and build a sats denominated social media platform and circular economy- depressing that so many especially those who speak about the importance of Bitcojn and using Bitcoin cannot be bothered actually attaching wallets to enable this and the systems that underpin it to grow and strengthen.
There seems instead to be a lot of circle jerking virtue signalling but very little actual effort and commitment.
Wheres your gun? Can't you be bothered with attaching a spending wallet? How does the BTC circular economy grow if people cannot be bothered using the LN or worse deliberately boycott it here on SNs?

The amounts are so small here so I guess it makes sense for many users to use Bitcoin IOUs.
