320 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 15 Aug 2023 \ parent \ on: Stuff that's cringe in Bitcoin: bitcoin
I'm not sure why you want to pick this bone. I don't think anyone is arguing 500k sats matters much on an absolute scale for most people. Nor would I ever use the world 'revolution' (speaking of cringe ... the worst) to describe SN along any dimension. It's a strawman.
Most of us are impressed we might have a weak and very early hint of a social media future that pays you something rather than taxing you via data and attention mining. I'm the first person to admit it all might be a mirage though. If you want to argue against something, argue against that. We might all actually learn something.
I don't think any of us (maybe some in less affluent nations) are fooling ourselves into thinking getting a few 100 sats a day is earth shattering but like you say it is a hint that the current model of social media isn't the only way and that there may be a better way fueled by bitcoin. The incentive structure on SN isn't perfect but its miles ahead of places like Twitter/FB. If you can't see the potential of SN and of course of bitcoin I have no clue why you are on this site.
Not being interested in plebs is cringe to me.

Sorry but this really is a bur in my saddle here. Might have to take my hat off.
There are so may podcasts in the bitcoin realm with BIG NAMES with huge stacks of stats. I really can't comprehend thinking it is cringe that kr has a podcast talking to plebs. I'm not aware of this being a common let alone a trend. If there are so many podcasts like this to make it cringe talking to a pleb about this site then please send these cringe podcasts my way.
What's cringe is the number of bitcoin podcasts that only talk about what the new ATH is gonna be after the next halving. No one has a clue. Some are smarter than others but its dumb.
