By starting normal companies that only accept Bitcoin and have them be competitive with their fiat equivalents. Which theoretically shouldn't be hard, at least in small scale businesses, since operating on bitcoin allows escaping from state taxation and regulation. This means that the outlaw must fly under the radar but also has a much higher degree of freedom and better margins.

Companies like:

Touch grass, make friends, network with people and find the best ways to serve one another

I'm confused by this post. You say there are millions of places to spend. Are those not examples of earning? Is the problem that you want to earn it some other way than those million people are?

You could try owning some nodes, become a Podcaster, and find jobs that supports earning sats as part of your income.

Fascinating question.

I think firstly, the idea of getting sats must be nuanced. Right now, founders of start-up companies exhort us to use their products, proclaiming that the sats they offer are easy to get with minimal effort. While that is true, it creates a problem in that Bitcoiners can’t take these products seriously. I mean, as much as I want to accumulate sats, I can’t help feeling silly when I use sites like satsforlikes or litstak. I mean, I’m grateful for those petty sats, but when I take into consideration how invaluable my time is, it’s thanks but not thanks for me. So what I mean by a more layered idea of getting sats is that other than satsforlikes and litstak, there are other sites out there that pay a cool 3000 or 5000 sats for quality work submitted. (in actual fact, 3000-5000 sats aren’t a lot actually but they do brighten up my day on the rare occasion I rack up such amounts.)

In addition, in order for a BTC circular economy to occur, these apps gotta work flawlessly. Right now, I can’t access my sats from sMiles because it won’t verify my mobile number. I don’t know why an error persists when I want to withdraw sats from Vestly. I have given Fountain a go 2-3 times but never once have I been able to earn sats from it. So, coupled with “cheap” sats, the problem of the unreliability of some apps in generating sats is a turn-off.

I actually think that Stacker News works very well as a model. Not necessarily because I get many zaps here but because it generously distributes the zaps to us Stackers from its advertising revenue. It’s affirming to see myself being rewarded with sats just by tipping others. It encourages people to be more generous in zapping because they wanna benefit from the win-win situation. It’s something that Heyapollo can look into. Right now, they want to rely on their users to zap other people’s reviews but come on, how many people will be committed to zapping others? So I feel that Stacker News ennobles me as a content creator.

It makes sense that you can't earn much from those activities, since they don't create very much value for others.

It's a good point about the need to bring "Gig Economy" jobs into the Bitcoin world. Hopefully, that will be coming soon.

Hello. Yes I also find it hard to stack sats as I'm new to it and also not a very good content creator in order to earn sats here on SN. I'm using THNDR games and 2 or 3 other ways to stack but honestly, I don't stack enough in one day to make up for the time spent to stack. If I can stack 15-20K sats per day, then I can make it. Checking out that link now. Thank you.

It's better to look at what is El Salvador doing?

I have earned the most sats from SN and my shakepay visa card. I think in the past 15 months from all sources of "earning" sats I am close to 1M sats. That's not a bad start for low income people who struggle to afford stacking. I could earn a lot more as well that is just basic rewards from picking up a few things at the grocery store, pharmacy and home depot here and there and paying with my shakepay card. My wife does the bulk of the family shopping, we would earn a ton more if she was using the shakepay card.

Good point made here. But if all these could be realized Bitcoin will be household something to everyone.

Getting 3000 sats a day from faucets is one heck of a serious work, I rather you work and be paid in sats
