I agree and would like to keep those advantages. I expect the minor costs associated with posting on SN will maintain the selection bias.
I found SN because of an ad on Fountain that was pitching it as a Reddit alternative that pays in Bitcoin.
SN is currently more like HN but the end vision is to be more like Reddit.

Ah I see. Well I think my original comment still stands - if you have to choose which sub to create right now, it should be the one that is most dissimilar to the existing ones, to reach a wider audience.

I think that's right, but I'm probably not the only one who makes fewer economics posts now than I would if there were a separate sub for it. I try to respect that the Bitcoin sub should be specifically relevant to Bitcoin, so my posts tend to be about central banking, inflation, or other broad macro issues.
There are many other cool things to talk about in economics, but I don't want to junk up the Bitcoin sub with posts most people just have to scroll past to find what they're interested in.
