As I see it, there a three types of stacker.news users here:
The one who made it's default tip to 1 sat: hodler/accumulater The one who don't know how to change a default tip amount: beginner The one who make it bigger to appreciate the others: bitcoin age believer
Tell me who you are or say how you'd like to call it!
If your stacker.news homepage isn't filled with yellow bolts. Your doing it all wrong. 10 sats/tip for me allows me to put all the sats given to me everyday back into tipping the front page if nothing else.
reply
I long press when I find something interesting, and when people put up cool discussions, if it don't get me to engage I don't really tip
reply
These are basically level 1, 2 and 3 on SN. I was for a long time level 2 but a month ago I figured out how to change it and now I always tip 21 per click
reply
i just click once. if i start clicking more, i dont know how to control that. i cant handle that power.
but since several people seem to give 10-20 sats in an upvote i have to start doing that more as well i think.
reply
I have 3 categories:
  • double/triple tap the lightning bolt. Basically every post/comment gets this even when I disagree with opinions. I don't do this if I feel strongly about disagreeing with it or the damn spam/shill posts of links.
  • 50 60 or 70 via long click. If I agree with something.
  • 100 or 200 or 300 if I'm enthusiastic about something. Maybe every few days.
reply
If I read your post, I will tip, no matter the quality. (It's good enough for me to take some time to read it!)
1sat for everything I read +2sat for anything good
reply
Fourth type: The one who only just now learned you can change the default :o
reply
I was tipping 21 sats but it was going too fast
I found a nice balance with 5 sats each time
reply
I permiate between all three levels to be honest.
reply
You can long press the ⚡ icon and put whatever amount of sats you want when you tip
reply
I understand that.
reply
Didn't know that!, just tipped you a custom amount. SN is the best!
reply
I´m a beginner and discovered how to change my default tip amount reading your post. Thank you!
reply
I scale my giving based on how valuable I find the post/comment and how much I would like others to see the post or comment.
1 sat = mildly interesting 5 sats = interesting 10 sats = very interesting 20 sats = extremely interesting, important 50 sats = Others need to see this 100+ sats = Awesome post/comment/user, very much appreciated
1 sat and 10 sats are what I give most commonly.

Let’s keep those awful TA charts and drawings and patterns aside. Let’s list some easy to remember and follow approaches to $BTC
Frugalypse Now - 2 jobs, bread, and butter, rented house, 1 mattress. 24x7 fiat mining. You take all the pains now, for good gains in the future as you buy bitcoin nonstop. It’s not too late! Miner Bro - You like to go against the current. Current wisdom says it’s more profitable to buy bitcoin than mine it, but you put it all in 1 or more ASIC miners and you do whatever it takes to run that shit coz tomorrow BTC is going so high, that these machines will be pure gold, and you’ll have one already running. To The Moon - The phrase might literally mean that Bitcoin moves with the cycles of the moon. Someone on Reddit posted proof that Bitcoin is lowest at a new moon and highest at a full moon. It showed stats that were true for the last 4 years, look it up! Smoked Out - You quit smoking and just put the amount you spent weekly on smokes into buying sats. True HODL - Never selling, so never registering a loss, always stacking sats whenever in the mood or when possible. Time Bomb HODL / Low Self-esteem Coiners - Setting a timer for a long-term future definite sell date, preferably over 3 years as no one who has held for 3 years has ever had a loss. The New Year Party Fund - Allocate what you just spent (last year) between Dec 25 and Dec 31 for Christmas and New Year’s to buy all the $BTC you can on Jan 1 this year. Sell it on Dec 25 this year. Repeat year after year to party beyond your means. BTC Savings Account - Convert your bank savings account to BTC, treat BTC as your new savings account, adding money to it when you can. Inflation Buster - This one is especially for the money-bags and the filthy rich, who see their notes getting stale in a deposit vault or earning peanuts in the stock or bond market. Put most of it on BTC and beat the printer that goes brrrrrrr. Meme Magic - You’re in it for the ride, you don’t really care about the profits, so you have the most fun and zero stress. When the memes are at their highest and you see a kickass meme, you drop in some munneh just to comment “haha I just bought some”. Negative Gravity - As in 2019, when you need to pay the bank to store your money, whatcha gonna do? Call inflation buster BTC! USD Hater - You just want to see the USD PetroDollar burn so that no more wars can be fought, so you buy and promote BTC as much as you can. Drive-By Buyer - Buy with all the cash in your wallet whenever you walk by a BTC ATM. All In - Sell everything you can and collect all the fiat you can to go all-in in one stroke. The Hourly DCA - Spend like 69 cents or $1 with auto-buy every hour or day or week. Sharp Dip Sniper - This requires patience and vigilance. Keep your USDT (or USDC or any other stablecoin) ready on the exchange to snap up the discounted BTC whenever it goes into a sharp decline before it pulls back to the regular curve. BTFD - Keep fiat or USDT ready, but don’t buy. Whenever the market tanks and people are saying Bitcoin is dead and FUD is at the highest, then you buy the f dip! Fear & Greed Index - Buy when Fear, Sell when Greed Adopted Influencer - Just follow 1 influencer you trust (if you can find one!) and do whatever they say, even if it sounds illogical. Interest Hunter - Borrow fiat on low interest and earn higher interest yield/stake by converting it to BTC. Payday Percentage - Allocate a fixed percentage of your pay to buy BTC on every payday, whether it is weekly or monthly. Shitcoin Genius - If you are one of the few who know that hidden place where the most successful memecoin and shitcoin moons are launched, you put $100 on those and convert the 1000s to BTC at the top. Choose The Orange Pill - You’ve read enough, you convert all your other coins to BTC. 2x Orange Pill - You’ve read enough, you convert all other coins and stocks and lands and gold to BTC. Black Swan Songer - Keep waiting for the biggest black swan event evar, like when BTC goes from 65k to 28k in a blink and then buy buy buy! All In Leverage - Gather a percentage of your bitcoin or fiat that you can YOLO, then wait for the worst FUD ever and the worst market crash ever, and then go 125x leverage on Bitcoin rising in the future. Banhammerite - Buy big when China or another country bans it, or a few weeks after the ban. Legaltenderite - Buy when another country like El Salvador makes it legal tender or passes favorable regulation for it. Shitcoin Lottery - Becoming a wholecoiner is not possible for you, being that the BTC price is out of your reach, so you spend $100 every month on a new pump and dump you discover on 4chan biz which allows you to buy early when the price has too many zeroes after the decimal. Keep playing until one goes 1000x or so, then you can buy a whole $BTC! NFT DayDreamer - Buy some shitty NFT and make its sell price the current value of 1 BTC in ETH OR BNB. Hope that someone buys the shit jpeg and then you get a wholecoin! Time Travel - Go back to 2010 and buy 15k Bitcoins for $10-100 on Liberty Reserve. Elon Apeing - Buy whatever Elon jokes about. Convert it to BTC at the top. Saylor Mirroring - Buy whenever Saylor & Microstrategy buy, they usually buy when the price is good. Winklevoss Conundrum - These two chads are richer than their nemesis Zuck now thanks to Bitcoin, yet they shill a lot of shitcoins, buy/sell when they’re shilling another coin, DYOR! Keiser Inverse - Sell whenever the OG Bitcoin Whale Max Keiser is going batshit crazy with antics, it is usually during the dips. Buy when he is quiet and serene on Twitter and his Podcasts. Schiff Inverse - Buy whenever Schiff bitches about Bitcoin and show him your receipt on Twitter! Which one’s your favorite? Do you have any other simple strategies to add to this list? Not financial advice, DYOR, yada yada!

Lol, i wrote this when the price was 65k. That Black Swan event has happened!! But so slowly that no one realizes that it was considered a catastrophic drop when the price was over 60. From freakin' 68 to 27 just a few days ago!
Any Black Swan songers must have been giddy with excitement at the drop.
